When Ye heard this, he asked with some concern: "Is Yuan'er okay?"

The secret guard quickly replied: "Madam, don't worry, the master can't get rid of himself in the palace for the time being, it's okay."

Only after hearing this did they feel relieved.

"Since that's the case, let's eat first. Yuan'er is busy with his. I'll make some delicious food for him tomorrow."

Ye waved his hand and told them to move their chopsticks.

Xue Jiangli didn't say anything on his face, but a trace of indescribable emotions arose in his heart.

This critical moment stayed in the palace, and I think it was because of the seventh prince's affairs.

I don’t know what he and His Highness Nine want to deal with this matter.

She is not easy to guess, but she can probably guess the result.

The Seventh Prince will definitely not have good fruits to eat.

Not to mention that it touched the interests of other princes, just taking the matter of directing and acting as an example, if the Que Lake is blown up, the entire Heling Village will be submerged.

By then everything in the village will become a bubble, and so many lives will be hard to escape.

How could the emperor let him go easily?

She calmed her expression and happily finished the meal with Ye and the others.

After returning to the wing room, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so I kept paying attention to the movements in the yard.

But until late at night, Ayuan showed no sign of coming back.

Xue Jiangli thought about him for some reason.

Later, he simply stood up and came to A Yuan's room with an oil lamp.

After pushing open the door, a faint fragrance of medicine hit the tip of his nose.

The familiar smell made her heart calm in an instant.

She walked to the table, lit the candle, and sat at the desk, her eyes swept over the books on it.

There are many military books and many literati poems.

She seemed to be able to imagine that when A Yuan was late at night, he was sitting here reading a book with all his heart, and his serious and as if no one else was around must be fascinating.

The sound of beating people rang out, but he still didn't come back at this time.

Xue Jiangli was worried, wondering if he went back to Prince Rong's mansion after returning from the palace?

Because she was worried, she simply left the mansion and walked alone on the dark street with only a full moon hanging in front of Prince Rong's mansion.

She stood under the willow tree in front of the palace, thinking about whether to knock on the door, but at this moment, she suddenly saw a black figure on the wall of the palace!

Walking around sneakily.

Her eyes tightened, and her heart instantly jumped into her throat.

Subconsciously hide your steps and retreat a little.

It's late at night, why is there anyone in front of the palace?

It looks like a thief, wearing a night-walking clothes.

If you didn't look carefully, it would be hard to discover in a while.

Xue Jiangli didn't know who he was, but her intuition told her that she must have ulterior motives for the royal family.

So she hid her body, and after the man disappeared, she walked out and quickly walked to the door of the palace.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, someone suddenly grabbed her hand! Her whole body tightened, and before she could react, her waist was locked.

A tall body came straight and saw her reaching the wall.

She opened her eyes wide in horror, but after seeing A Yuan's silver mask, her heart fell instantly.

Si Huaiyuan snorted, hugged her firmly into his arms, and then stood up for a while before he stood up, grabbed her body, and walked into the palace quickly.

He spoke until the two of them arrived in the wing room.

"You're still coming to the palace so late?"

After seeing him take off his mask and revealing his familiar face, Xue Jiangli quickly walked up to him and looked at him with great concern.

"You haven't come back yet. I'm worried. I wonder if you will go back to the palace directly, so I came over to take a look."

"But……"

She suddenly remembered the scene she had seen just now, lowered her voice, and her face became serious.

"A Yuan, I just saw someone outside the palace sneaking on the wall. Did you see it too?"

She thought, A Yuan must have seen it.

As expected, Si Huaiyuan nodded.

Xue Jiangli suddenly felt something was wrong: "Since you saw it, do you know who sent that person?"

Xue Jiangxi wanted to know if this person had anything to do with A Yuan being re-poisoned.

But Si Huaiyuan shook her head, making her feel relieved.

"I don't know who it is at the moment, but it's natural for someone to keep an eye on me. I may not go to and from He Mansion in the future. The current situation in the court has changed."

Upon hearing this, Xue Jiangli became alert: "Is it the Seventh Prince's business?"

"Well, the emperor has already made a ruling."

He grabbed Xue Jiangli's hand, felt the warmth and softness between his fingers, and his eyes became gentle.

"The Seventh Prince has been transformed into a commoner and will be sent to the outer city on a date, but the emperor does not want to make the matter of Heling Village public, so as not to cause more unnecessary trouble."

Xue Jiangli had long expected this result.

But what she didn't expect was that the emperor would really demote the Seventh Prince so quickly to a commoner.

And this matter was exposed by the Ninth Prince. In this way, it is almost certain that the Ninth Prince becomes the crown prince.

For some reason, Xue Jiangli always felt uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't tell what the specific reason was.

She had no choice but to hug A Yuan tightly and said, "A Yuan, I can't control the affairs of the court. I just want to be with you."

Si Huaiyuan lowered his eyes and stared at her with gentle eyes.

Warmth gradually emerged from the air, and his eyes became more and more firm in the swaying candlelight.

If he could, he really wanted to keep the woman and lie on the same bed as himself.

The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to kiss her soft cheeks.

Perhaps because of his eyes that were too hot, Xue Jiang's heart was pounding.

It is always a bit dangerous for the two to live together in this quiet room.

She took a deep breath and stood up.

"Since it's okay, I can go back with confidence."

Si Huaiyuan's thoughts were interrupted. He lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the woman with a little panic, and a smile gradually emerged from the corner of his mouth.

"I send you."

...

The next day.

A public announcement outside the city caused everyone in Jincheng to burst into trouble.

Even the quiet book shops can't avoid becoming a place for people to discuss.

"Why did this seventh prince suddenly be demoted from the imperial city? What a rebellious thing he did!"

"Oh, the prince is really a common crime for the common people, but... the public announcement did not state what the matter was for. I am so curious."

"What do you think of this seventh prince that touched Dragon Rage and made the emperor so angry?"

"I seem to have heard that the Seventh Prince moved something that the royal family shouldn't have moved. It is said to be the old house of the late emperor, right? But no one knows what it is."

As everyone spoke every word, no one was sure to express their consent.

Xue Jiangxi came out of the backyard and looked at the account book of the bookstore. Compared with the royal affairs, it was obvious that the money she made was even happier.

The monthly income was really impressive! And the Shushufang handed over to Mr. Liu also began to open a branch.

Every day, the storytelling shop is crowded, and Mr. Liu has become a famous storytelling teacher in Jincheng.

His current writing is hard to find.

The one who made the most profit in the end was Xue Jiangli.

Just when he was happy, Li San ran over again and leaned into Xue Jiangli's ear to tell her.

"Miss Four, there is another news. The fifth lady also went to Mingyue Tower today. I asked the servant of Mingyue Tower and found that Miss Five had been there more than once."

Mingyue Tower is the largest singing and dancing workshop in Jincheng, which is very different from Hualiufang.

This is where the regular musicians are located. The women inside are all going to the royal family to perform their work, which is very different from the women in the yard of Hualiufang who have sold their bodies.

Not only do the princes of aristocratic families often go there, but many ladies of aristocratic families also go to listen to operas and music on weekdays, which is an elegant thing.

However, Xue Lanzhi didn't like to go to such places where she showed up in public before. She once went with her third brother, but she never went to death.

Nowadays, it is very strange to run around every few days.

Don't think too much, you must have some idea in your heart.
