Since the early autumn incident, Xu Yan could clearly feel that the other three palace maids' attitude towards early autumn has changed a lot. She guessed that maybe it was because they had guessed that early autumn had become her, or maybe it was because they thought early autumn was about to be replaced by a newly sent person from the mother emperor, so they had to keep an appropriate from her first.

However, no matter what kind of guess is, it cannot change the fact that Chu Qiu has become her most trusted palace maid. She privately asked He Xun to check what Chu Qiu said, and the news sent back by him showed that Chu Qiu did have a serious illness in his bed in his hometown. Xu Yan immediately asked He Xun to properly resettle the old man and sent her a doctor to re-diagnose and treat her.

The result was not very good. The old man's illness had reached the point where he had no medicine, so he could only drag it out for a day. After hearing this, Xu Yan secretly took out some money to subsidize the family in Chuqiu. As this young woman for so many years, she has not really done much for the country and the people. So she wanted to help one more within her ability.

"Your Highness, early autumn brings you mung bean soup." When Xu Yan was in deep thought, he heard the sound of early autumn coming from behind the screen, followed by the sound of colorful beads on the bead curtain colliding with each other. Xu Yan looked back and saw early autumn coming in with a bowl of mung bean soup.

Xu Yan was about to speak to her about her mother's current situation, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Chu Qiu: "Your Highness, let's drink the soup first. Otherwise, it will get cold in a while, and your Highness will scream that her stomach will hurt again."

Xu Yan nodded and picked up mung bean soup. Xu Yan was extremely afraid of heat. Every summer, she would be greedy for coolness. Not only was the room full of ice basins, but she also needed some cold things to remove fire in her daily meals.

But Xu Yan's stomach is not good, and every time he eats these, he will have a stomachache. Over time, the palace people will not prepare food for Xu Yan's nature. At most, they can prepare some hot mung bean soup to remove the fire and not get too cold and hurt the body.

As soon as Xu Yan started drinking soup, he heard the voice of early autumn: "I have already sent a letter to tell me about my mother's current situation. Your highness is so kind that I can't repay you. But I can't even do the secret spy that I promised at the beginning."

Xu Yan listened to Chu Qiu's voice with some self-blame emotion, and hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, I don't expect you to find any news." Unexpectedly, Chu Qiu was even more sad when she heard her words.

In order to divert early autumn's attention, Xu Yan quickly spoke up and changed the topic: "By the way, has there been any major incidents in the palace recently?"

When Chu Qiu heard this, she immediately became energetic. She said to Xu Yan with a bright look: "I like to listen to these gossips the most when I have nothing to do. Your Highness wants to know what you want to ask me."

Xu Yan finally got happy when she saw Chu Qiu, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Qiu is the most gossip among the four palace maids. Almost all the gossips heard by the four palace maids and Xu Yan came from her.

Chu Qiu frowned and thought for a while before speaking: "The biggest thing in the palace recently was the rebellion of the refugees in Nanjun. I don't know who reported that this incident was related to the Fourth Prince. Your Majesty has been sad for several days because of this."

Then, as if she remembered something, she hurriedly continued: "By the way, there is another thing that is spring hunting! Maybe it was because of the envoy of Liang State that His Majesty wanted the Sixth Prince to participate in spring hunting together, and maybe she would rather look at His Highness carefully." Speaking of this, Chu Qiu winked at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan frowned and asked, "Do you know when to go ahead?"

After early autumn, I replied: "It seems that the specific date has not been confirmed yet, but it should be this month."

Xu Yan was thinking about the few days left this month, when the announcement of Yingchun came from outside the door: "Your Highness! Your Majesty asks you to talk to the Biyun Palace." For some reason, when Xu Yan heard this announcement, he subconsciously felt an ominous premonition.

She was silent for a moment and replied, "I know, I'll go there right away." Then she said to Chuqiu, "Serve me to change my clothes." Chuqiu looked at Xu Yan's gloomy face and seemed to have guessed something. She asked embarrassedly: "What are your Majesty asking you to go over and talk about?"

Xu Yan did not answer Chu Qiu, but glanced at her faintly. Chu Qiu instantly realized that she had lost her words. So in the following time, Chu Qiu's movements became more and more tempting. Xu Yan had already finished the decoration without a stick of incense.

Xu Yan walked forward step by step with nervousness along the way. She didn't know what the queen wanted to discuss with her. Spring hunting, Nanjun rebellion or marriage? Xu Yan was not sure about it, and everything could only be revealed in the palace.

The more people are afraid of something coming, the faster the thing you are afraid of will come. So when Xu Yan walks forward with uneasiness towards Biyun Palace in his heart, it will almost be useless.

Xu Yan took a deep breath, and when she was about to step into the hall, she tripped by the threshold. When she was about to fall forward without any precaution, a pair of powerful hands held her. Xu Yan calmed down and looked back, and inadvertently met Liang Yu's black eyes.

He had no expression on his face. Seeing Xu Yan standing firmly, he let go of himself holding her hand tightly and said to Xu Yan: "When will you be able to grow your brain?"

Xu Yan swallowed the word "thank you" that had just been delivered to his mouth, then glared at him and said hatefully: "This smart man, sorry, you blocked my way. Please give in!" Then he stepped into the hall.

Chu Qiu, who was behind Xu Yan, was about to go in with Xu Yan, but was stopped by the guards at the door. He said to Chu Qiu coldly: "Your Majesty's order, you can only let the two high men go in." Xu Yan heard the sound behind him and looked back. As Liang Yu entered the hall, the gate of the hall was closed little by little.

Seeing that the hall, which was still bright just now, instantly turned into the darkness and silence of the present, Xu Yan finally realized what the conversation would mean today. She took a stiff step, and it was extremely difficult for every step forward. Liang Yu, who was following her, could not help but laugh at her as she looked at her appearance, "I began to feel a little sympathy for the empress."

Xu Yan couldn't see the person on the high position in the , but she lowered her voice and asked him in a low voice: "How do you want to harm me?"

Liang Yu looked at her cautious look and said the second half of her sentence with some amusement: "Didn't it be said that the Empress Xu State established a person like you as the crown prince because of her thin offspring?"

After Xu Yan was furious, most of the nervousness that had been gone, leaving only her full of anger towards Liang Yu. She looked at Liang Yu without giving in. Just as she was about to push back, she heard Liang Yu's lowered voice: "Stop making trouble, look ahead."

Xu Yan turned around half-believingly and faced the gaze of the Queen Mother's personal servant Qing Chen. She looked at Xu Yan and saluted respectfully and said, "Two Your Highnesses, please follow me." Xu Yan followed Qing Chen honestly like a obedient little sheep. This was the first time Liang Yu saw her this, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Qing Chen.

I didn't expect that a person who looked so gentle on the surface would call this little bully obedient. So will I also arrest her into the mansion in the future and scare this lawless bully all the time?
