Su Cai'er reacted, stretched out her hand, and hugged Zhao Ce tightly.

She raised her head and was about to speak.

Zhao Ce had already bent down, directly dragged her knees, and picked her up as usual.

Su Cai'er hugged his neck and pressed her face against him affectionately.

Flesh against flesh, feeling each other's body temperature.

That strong beating pulse makes people feel so at ease.

And on my body...

Um?

Doesn’t taste right?

Su Cai'er sniffed and looked up at Zhao Ce's clothes.

"Husband, why do your clothes smell like this..."

Zhao Ce closed the door, hugged her and sat beside the bed.

"Clothes..." Zhao Ce replied with a smile: "I just came out of prison yesterday and am going to the palace to meet the saint."

"I have no choice but to borrow a piece of Jin Yiwei's uniform to change into."

"After I took off my clothes, I was washed by the palace maid."

The clothes washed by the maids in the palace were scented with aromatherapy after they were dried.

However, the fragrance was not strong, and Zhao Ce had many things to do, so he didn't pay attention.

I didn't expect Su Cai'er's little nose to be so clever, and she could smell it right away.

Hearing Su Cai'er say that, he simply put her back on the bed and stood up.

"When you say that, I feel a little uncomfortable with the taste."

"Let's change some clothes first."

Su Cai'er also stood up, remembering the grapefruit leaves she had asked people to prepare.

She said: "The husband should take a bath first and then change into good clothes."

Zhao Ce said yes.

Su Cai'er had someone prepare bath water, and there was also a basin of water boiled with grapefruit leaves in a wooden basin next to it.

Zhao Ce picked up the wooden basin and showered it from head to toe.

After taking a shower, my whole body still smelled of fresh leaves.

After changing into the clothes at home, Su Cai'er smelled the smell and then rolled her eyes.

“It still smells good at home.”

Zhao Ce also lowered his head and smelled it, and said with a smile: "Indeed."

The baby hasn't woken up yet.

Su Cai'er took a cloth, knelt down behind Zhao Ce, and slowly wiped his hair.

The young couple then slowly talked about what happened in the past two days.

"Husband, you have been in the palace for so long, what happened?"

Zhao Ce briefly explained the affairs in the palace to Su Cai'er.

Hearing that the emperor was accidentally infected with malaria, Su Cai'er couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

"Your Majesty is also infected?"

"Well, Liu Gong's malaria was contracted from His Majesty."

"Fortunately, malaria is less likely to be transmitted through contact."

"The other ministers who have met His Majesty basically have nothing to do."

Except for Li Dongyang, who had just developed a mild illness and was cured.

The other ministers who met the emperor that day were basically fine.

This also saves a lot of trouble.

Su Caier breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as it's okay..."

Then he asked again:

"His Majesty is ill. Do we have to wait in the capital until His Majesty is fine before we can leave?"

Zhao Ce thought for a while and decided to postpone his return for two days.

It won't be too late for them to set off once they are sure that His Majesty is okay.

It's just that these days, it's inconvenient for him to go out.

Zhao Ce told Su Cai'er about his plan, and Su Cai'er had no objections.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Ce's hair was half dry.

Su Cai'er yawned and threw the towel aside.

He lay lazily on Zhao Ce's back.

Zhao Ce turned around, saw her sleepy look, and pushed her down on the bed.

"Get some sleep first."

Su Cai'er muttered: "Well, I'll just sleep for a while."

"Husband, please do your own thing first."

Zhao Ce tucked in the quilt and covered her belly.

Su Cai'er blinked, and soon her breathing became lighter and she fell asleep.

Zhao Ce touched her face and waited until she fell asleep, then gently got out of bed.

After looking at his daughter who was also sleeping, Zhao Ce did not go out and went directly to the room to read the information given to him by Emperor Hongzhi's agent.

...

Later he stayed in the capital for two more days.

When news came from the palace, Emperor Hongzhi's condition had improved and he was back to attending court normally.

Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia are also getting better.

Zhao Ce came to visit Li Dongyang in person again, and formally bid farewell to them.

Li Dongyang knew what Emperor Hongzhi had arranged for Zhao Ce, and he said lovingly: "Your Majesty will let you stop in Qingzhou this time."

"The Ministry of War has already sent people there before."

"Shilang Zhang took the newly appointed head of the Ministry of War, Wang Shouren, the son of Wang Hua from Youchunfang, Youchunfang, Zhanshi Mansion, to Qingzhou to personally investigate the case of missing tax money."

"When you arrive at the place, you can go directly to Chief Wang if you have any questions."

Li Dongyang did not know the relationship between Zhao Ce and Wang Shouren.

In the provincial examination, Wang Hua was the teacher who passed Zhao Ce.

Li Dongyang specifically mentioned this person to tell Zhao Ce that Wang Hua's son was trustworthy.

After hearing what Li Dongyang said, Zhao Ce raised his eyebrows.

Mr. Wang was taken away on official business not long after he took office?

Zhao Ce nodded and said, "Thank you sir, the students will arrange it when the time comes."

Farewell to Li Dongyang’s family.

Zhao Ce went to the Liu Mansion again to ask about Liu Daxia's health.

After Liu Daxia woke up, he learned that Zhao Ce had saved him in time.

I was really grateful at that time.

But soon, after learning that the emperor was also infected with malaria, he was so frightened that he almost recovered from the illness.

Dang Jiu sat up from the bed and went to the palace to visit the emperor.

Fortunately, Liu Ruyu rushed back in time and told him the news that Zhao Ce had gone to rescue the emperor.

Only then did Liu Daxia feel relieved.

When Liu Daxia saw Zhao Ce this time, he didn't say anything.

He only treated Zhao Ce like an ordinary junior and gave Zhao Ce a few warnings.

After Zhao Ce left, he thought for a while before returning to the study.
