After discussing the matter of staying in the East Palace to recuperate, Xiaoman was about to go back to his bedroom to rest, but Zhou Qiaoyu advised: "You can stay here and wait until the rain is getting lighter before leaving, otherwise you will have to wet your shoes and socks."

Xiaoman looked at the cat in his arms, thinking that the storm outside was storm, and even if he held an umbrella, he could not cover the floating rain. He would listen to him and wait for a while.

Zhou Gongyu stood up and took some books of the immortals and monsters for her to show them.

Xiaoman took the storybook and glanced at him strangely.

"What's wrong?"

She raised the book in her hand.

"Didn't you often say, 'Zi doesn't speak strange powers and gods, why do you put these things in the study?"

Zhou Gongyu's eyes became dark, and his voice couldn't help but sink because he remembered something.

"This is a book for you, not me."

She was stunned for a moment, and after she realized that she suddenly couldn't say anything.

A long time ago, she always asked Zhou Gongyu to bring her some new books so that she could kill her time.

This book was handed over to her two years ago, but it was never sent out. It was kept in this study for two years, and it was not until today.

There was also a soft couch in Zhou Gongyu's study room, but he had almost never used it. Xiaoman was nestled on it and read a book. After changing several positions, he felt uncomfortable.

Perhaps because of his movements too frequently, he finally caught his attention.

Zhou Gongyu glanced at Xiaoman. She thought she had disturbed him from handling official duties, so she stopped moving immediately.

"uncomfortable?"

"fine……"

Zhou Gongyu put down the half-written note, got up and walked to the bedroom behind, and walked out after a while, putting a thin blanket on his arm.

"I don't use this soft couch often, and I haven't paid attention to it. Maybe I didn't have anything to put on, so you can get up first."

Zhou Gongyu put the thin blanket on her and continued to read the memorials. However, Xiaoman couldn't read any of her books.

She just felt that Zhou Qiaoyu was too careful.

It is ridiculous to pretend to be in love with each other. He is the only one who gives his sincere heart. Wouldn't it be unfair to feel impatient...

The sound of the drizzle never stops, and you will inevitably feel sleepy after listening to it for a long time.

Zhou Gongyu didn't hear the sound of flipping through books anymore, and looked at the woman on the soft couch. Each person and cat were nesting in a ball, and he had already fallen asleep at some point.

He curled a smile on the corner of his lips, picked up the wide robe he had put on the side, and got up to put it on for her.

He reached out and picked up the fluffy ball in her arms. The kitten was woken up by him and made a faint cry. Zhou Gongyu let it go smoothly, lowered his voice and said, "Don't wake her up."

He just said casually, and the cat who was still chirping just now really stopped chirping. He arched into his arms and found a suitable position to continue sleeping.

Zhou Gongyu put his clothes on Xiaoman and sat back to his position, put the cat in his arms, put the reviewed memorials neatly, and began to read some books.

It was not until the sky was slightly dark that Xiaoman woke up, rubbing his eyes as if he was confused, and he didn't even know where he was.

After slowly getting off to bed, he looked around first, his eyes were very confused. Seeing Zhou Gongyu looking at him, his eyes widened because of fright.

"Wake up?"

“…Ah, I woke up.”

Xiaoman slowed down for a while before remembering that he was in the East Palace, and frowned and asked him, "Where is the cat?"

Zhou Gongyu pointed to his arms, "Here."

When he walked towards him, Xiaoman's steps were unstable no matter how he looked at it.

So when she got up with the cat in her arms, Zhou Gongyu deliberately pressed the corner of her skirt, and before she could stand, she fell to the side. He stretched out his hand and hugged her over.

When she fell down, the cat jumped away immediately and did not fall with her.

Xiaoman was held in his arms by Zhou Gongyu. When he hit his chest, his nose was hurting and almost burst into tears.

Hearing Zhou Gongyu's muffled groan, she quickly got up and looked at her skirt, suspecting that she hadn't stepped on it at all.

Xiaoman stood up straight and apologized to him.

"I didn't pay attention just now."

"Nothing happens, I'll send you back."

The smile on Zhou Gongyu's face made her even more upset.

"No, I'll go back by myself."

She suspected that Zhou Gongyu did it just now.

——

The next day, Xiaoman was about to leave the palace. Zhou Gongyu went to court. When she finished breakfast, the maid brought a bowl of medicine.

The dark brown medicinal soup was served while it was hot, and some foam floated around the bowl.

She leaned over and smelled it, her eyebrows frowned, and she felt like she was about to vomit breakfast.

"Why can't I drink it now?"

Bai Yan replied: "Your Highness the Crown Prince said that if you brought it earlier, the lady would not be able to eat breakfast."

She had eaten all kinds of soups and medicines before, and tasted all the bitter and bitter tastes, but never felt that it was so difficult to sip.

In the past, someone else drank her blood, but now she drank Zhou Qiaoyu...

In addition to bitterness, there is also a bloody smell in the medicine that is difficult to drink.

With a look of death, he closed his eyes and breathed, raised his head to drink medicine, and completed the movement in one go.

After rinsing his mouth, Xiaomanping left the person around him and said to Bai Yan: "Take me to the Imperial Hospital. I have something to do with Doctor Xu."

Xiaoman found the person who decocted her medicine, collected all the dumps of medicine, and took the prescriptions he asked for from Doctor Xu to leave the palace.

She knew that she shouldn't have suspected that Lin Qiushuang would help Zhou Gongyu, but she said she was leaving the capital. Something happened in just three days, so she still had to be more wary.

So she took the prescription and the residue and found a clinic to ask.

Doctor Xu is Zhou Gongyu's man, so he should not believe his words in full.

She needs to find out whether it was a Gu who had been infected with a blood-transformed Gu or whether it was true or not.

The doctor in the first clinic carefully looked at the residue and prescription, but found nothing wrong.

She went to find several clinics, and some people didn't know what to do with the poison, so naturally they didn't understand the prescription.

Some people also recognized it, which was almost the same as Physician Xu’s statement.

After asking all the questions, it seems that it is true that he is caught in a Gu, and it is not an excuse to transform a Gu with blood.

Xiaoman was a little relieved and went to Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion to find Jiang Ruoruo.

Seeing her coming back intact, Jiang Ruoruo hurriedly asked, "I heard from my brother that someone had a gush on you, is it Jiang Yuefu?"

"I don't know yet, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Why is it okay! You suddenly fell to the ground in Penglai Palace, scaring me to death!"

Jiang Ruoruo had unconcealed worries on his face. Seeing Bai Yan following her, he asked again: "Isn't this the prince's person?"

Why are you following you again? The prince transformed a poison for you, isn't it true?"

"I'm back and telling you about this. Before my poison is unraveled, I may have to stay in the East Palace."

Xiaoman felt worried when he talked about this.

Jiang Ruoruo said in shock: "You stayed in the East Palace, are those rumors true?

Are you really going to be the Crown Princess?”

"It's not the Crown Princess, don't believe what they are talking nonsense."

Xiaoman immediately denied it.

"They said you lived in the Princess's bedroom. The queen was furious and was blocked by the Prince... "

Xiaoman was silent for a moment and replied: "I don't know where I live..."

"That's it! The prince is determined to marry you! He let you move into the princess's bedroom in advance, and now he can block those people's nonsense. I see who dares to slander you behind the scenes."

Jiang Ruoruo's tone was very excited, as if Xiaoman had done something that made her proud.

"It's not like that. I just agreed to stay in the Eastern Palace for the time being, to eliminate the Queen's desire to stuff people into his palace, and not to marry..."

"My sister will be the crown princess in the future and the queen in the future. Xiaoman, you are so proud!"

"No, I'm not going to be the crown princess, I'm just for the time being..."

"Zhou Dingheng told me that you and the prince have known each other since childhood, so they are childhood sweethearts. When I write a letter to tell my father and mother, they will definitely be happy for you..."

"..." Xiaoman opened his mouth and finally gave up refuting.

Knowing that she was going to live in the East Palace, Jiang Ruoruo was even more excited than being married, so he couldn't listen to what she said.

Xiaoman had no intention of refuting it again, and only after Jiang Ruoruo calmed down did he say another thing.
