Several times I wanted to go to the study to see him, but I was worried that I had no good excuse. Forget it, let's go for a walk in the garden... maybe I could run into him like last time?

Liu Zhili thought about it, then went in to find some clothes and walked towards the garden. Along the way, the autumn wind was bleak and the fallen leaves were flying. Occasionally, he saw a few servants sweeping the fallen leaves. Unknowingly, it was already late autumn.

The winter solstice will be here in two days, time flies so fast!

"Hey, have you heard that the Queen Mother is very ill and may not even be able to survive this autumn? There is not even a single imperial doctor in the palace. It's really pitiful..."

"You only know one but not the other. Do you know why there is no imperial physician?"

"Yes, it's really strange! There is no imperial doctor in the palace of Langyue Kingdom?"

"Yes, Xiaocui, please tell me what's going on?"

What?! The Queen Mother is sick! Why didn’t she know? Liu Zhili thought to himself and continued to enjoy the chrysanthemums in the garden as if nothing had happened. He listened carefully to what the maid said,

"It's not that there are no imperial doctors in the palace, but that those imperial doctors are hiding at home. Since the prince destroyed the Duanmu family, the queen mother has lost allies. In addition, our prince has secretly gathered forces over the years, and has not cut down the ranks of the queen mother's cronies.

, is to seize power. Do you know why there was not even a general who wiped out the rebels in the hall that day?"

"Why? Okay, Xiaocui, stop being so pretentious and talk about it quickly!"

"Okay... let me tell you! Because our prince has already sent heavy troops to surround the residences of those generals. Later in the court, "The Queen Mother was so angry that she vomited blood on the spot and became ill. No imperial doctor dared to treat her.

I am afraid that I will offend our prince, and my life will be at risk! Moreover, the prince has issued an order that anyone who dares to treat the Queen Mother will be killed without mercy!" Xiaocui also deliberately made a "killing" gesture, almost losing her balance with the breakfast in her hand.

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore. The prince's rice is going to be cold. I'm leaving..."

"Wait a minute!" Liu Zhili walked towards the maid carrying breakfast.

"Xiao Cui... are you bringing breakfast to the prince? Why don't you give it to me and I'll deliver it." Liu Zhili put on a charming smile and said to the maid named Xiao Cui.

"Oh~ Miss, I can't help it! The prince loves you so much, if he finds out, Xiao Cui will be dead!" Xiao Cui hurriedly took a step back, as if she was afraid that Liu Zhili would take the plate away.

"It's okay, I just said I came to deliver it myself and it has nothing to do with you." Liu Zhili pulled Xiao Cui over and smiled at her kindly.

"But……"

"Oh! It's nothing, just give me the plate. Don't worry, you'll be fine!" Before the maid could react, Liu Zhili took the tray and walked away.

With a bang, Liu Zhili placed the bowl heavily on Long Yuhan's desk, and all the porridge in the bowl spilled out. Long Yuhan looked up and saw Liu Zhili looking at him angrily.

, I really want to eat him,

"What? You didn't eat well this morning and you came here to eat my meat?" Long Yuhan looked at her with amusement, then lowered his head and continued to deal with the matter at hand.
