Chu Lian's faint smile was heard, her body hastily somewhat at a loss, but she said, "Your Highness, fortunately others do not know of your current state."

  "How dare you mock me?" Xuyang heard that the voice only had a relaxed tone, and didn't seem to be at a loss for words, so he turned around with ease.

  Chu Lian was leaning against the edge of the bathtub, with layers and layers of flower petals covering her completely. However, her face, which had turned a peachy red from the hot water, as well as her smooth and lustrous skin, couldn't help but spark the imagination.

  Xu Yang took a glance and quickly withdrew his gaze.

  "What are you doing here?" Chu Lian's face was red, but it wasn't clear if it was from the hot water or because she felt embarrassed in front of Xū Yáng.

  "Today's matter..." Xū Yáng furrowed his brow, and as soon as he mentioned today's matter, he felt displeased in his heart. But what could be done about it? He didn't even know what he had come to say anymore.

  "I'll try to avoid it in the future, but isn't it a coincidence that you appeared? Is someone secretly informing on me?" Chu Lian didn't believe that this person had come unintentionally, and if it was a coincidence, he wouldn't have shaken off Li Gonggong so quickly.

  "If you're smart, then you're clever." Xū Yáng's face stiffened for a moment, and then he slightly curled up the corners of his mouth.

  Chu Lian's gaze fell upon Xuyang, and the ripples in her heart were like the water waves in a bathtub that undulated with each breath, layer upon layer. Outside the window, birds chirped two or three times, and time seemed to have fallen silent.

  "Master, the water should be cold by now. Shall I go in and add some hot water for you?" Si Wei's voice came cautiously from outside the door.

  Chu Lian thought that if she took a bath this time, she would directly send all the maids away, not wanting them to disturb her thoughts. However, they didn't disturb her, but instead, someone came who made her mind start racing again.

  The original chaos was just a moment, and after talking to him for two sentences, it all disappeared.

  "It's useless." Chu Lian wouldn't naturally let her in anyway.

  Xu Yang furrowed his brow, "Let her in, if the water gets cold, it won't be good for your body." He turned around and walked to the window, seemingly intending to leave. (Cotton Candy)

  "Xu Yang..." This was the first time, Chu Lian Ruo directly called out his name, not to mention Xu Yang, even Chu Lian Ruo herself was taken aback. The call was so natural and pleasant to hear that Chu Lian Ruo forgot what she wanted to say next.

  "What?" Xuyang's footsteps stopped in front of the carved flower window, and his already raised breath suddenly became disordered.

  Chu Lian had not yet reacted from her own sudden awakening, and she dazedly shook her head.

  Xu Yang smiled lightly, and this Chu Lian was actually lovely.

  Before she could react, the figure vanished into the vast blue sky.

  Chu Lian'er was stunned for a long time, until Si Wei couldn't help but walk in, "Master, the water is about to cool down, do you want to continue or get dressed?"

  Chu Lian Ruo's gaze withdrew from the windowsill, "Get dressed." Since her heart had already calmed down, there was no need to use bathing as an excuse to quietly ponder.

  In this complicated relationship, Shu Fei also returned to Shu Fei Palace.

  "Your Highness, there is news from the master." A maid who looked seven parts similar to Cui Xuan in appearance but had a more stable temperament walked over and handed the letter to the Empress.

  "Oh? How can there be news from brother at this time?" The gentle imperial consort rubbed her brow, seeming somewhat tired between the eyebrows, yet still reached out to take the unopened letter from the maid's hand.

  Her slender hands were pale and almost translucent, making them seem somewhat unreal.

  Gently scratch open the seal with your fingernail, and when you unfold that white paper, it's a wordless heavenly book.

  "Brother is being very cautious," Shu Fei said, raising an eyebrow. There was no surprise in her voice, as if such things had happened many times before. "Go get some water." Shu Fei ordered casually.

  Cui Xuan immediately took action and fetched water to put on the table. "Cui Lian, go outside the house and keep watch."

  The woman who looked 70% like Cui Xuan immediately left.

  The Empress Dowager laid the paper flat in the water basin, but this time no words appeared. "Your Majesty..." Cui Xuan called out in some surprise.

  "This is interesting, it seems that we need to find a unique method." In ancient times, people thought of hiding words on paper with special methods to prevent military information from being leaked, but most of them were just bubbles and steam. The transmission between them was also mostly like this, but this time it's unusual. "Go and call the little servant who delivered the message."

  They usually keep the messenger, it's easier to send messages out this way. After all, in the imperial palace, one has to be careful everywhere, no one knows how many eyes and ears are hidden in their own palace, especially for consorts like them.

  The more people envy her, the more they will stare at her. Although she has not been out for two years due to illness and many people have forgotten about her, a careful person can avoid trouble forever.

  Cuixuan accepted the order and hurriedly went to search for it.

  The Empress stared at the letter in her hand, lost in thought. She had just healed from the wounds of two years ago, and now her own brother was sending her a message. This coincidence was too much to bear.

  "Your Ladyship, someone has arrived." Cui Xuan brought a young eunuch, a new face, was Brother being overly cautious, not even using the usual person to deliver messages?

  "Did the person who sent you here give you anything else?"

  "The princess is clever, the master indeed gave me something else, it's just that if you don't ask, I will destroy it by myself." The eunuch replied respectfully, with both hands presenting what was in his bosom.

  The Empress nodded to Cui Xuan, "This is a reward for you, do well in the future." She casually tossed a gold hairpin in front of that eunuch, and instantly saw him smiling as he picked it up. The Empress waved her hand at him, letting him leave.

  Cui Xuan held a jade bottle in her hand, inside which was clear water. She had already thought of a plan and directly splashed the water onto the blank paper. Then, faint words slowly seeped out.

  "This is...". As soon as the imperial concubine saw the words on the paper, her heart skipped a beat and her face changed color. After a while, she regained her composure, "This palace is indeed full of fish and dragons mixed together."

  Cui Xuan also looked at it with astonishment, "No wonder Master was so cautious."

  "This matter, once out of the door, must be forgotten. Recently we also need to be careful. As for responding, it's not necessary. Cui Lian, from now on, don't go out again." Shu Fei instructed calmly and clearly, and the two nodded in agreement.

  When Cui Lian and Cui Xuan left, and she was the only one left in the house, Shu Fei burned the letter in her hand to ashes with fire and poured it into the incense burner.

  "This place is really interesting, no wonder it has attracted so many people's attention." But for two years, she had not been able to see her own family, was it really interesting?

  It's said that women are useless, but at times like these, they're always used as bait! Consort Shu pursed her lips, and the lid of the incense burner fell heavily to the ground, making a crisp sound.

  On this side, Xū Róng, who was visiting Xiao Feng, sent away Dingguo Hou and remained alone in Xiao Feng's room.

  "Your Majesty seems to have worries?" Xiao Feng's warm and elegant voice echoed in the room, he half leaned on the bed, his face slightly pale.

  "Alas, I'm afraid I couldn't control Xuyang, and with the way you look now, I indeed feel guilty in my heart." Xurong sighed.

  As expected, as soon as Xi Yang was mentioned, Xiao Feng's face turned unpleasant, and the tea in his hand shook slightly, even scalding himself with the boiling hot tea without realizing it.

  It seems certain that Xiao Feng is not willing to do so, but what about that letter? "What's the matter with your letter?"

  "Your Majesty, don't ask anymore. It's also my own bad luck that I happened to run into Prince Xing." Xiao Feng said with some sadness and more resentment, as if there was something in Xi Yang's hands, and this injury, who exactly did it?

  "You are the son of Dingguo, if you really don't want to, he wouldn't dare to come and take people by force. It's just that in the palace, you can no longer stay." Xurong narrowed her eyes, "Fei Wang was Father Emperor's most beloved child back then, and after all, he is my younger brother. Although his actions are absurd, I really can't bear to punish him."

  "I understand the emperor's intention." Xiao Feng replied obediently, but in his heart he was secretly laughing. If he didn't know anything, it was possible that he would have been deceived by Xū Róng's appearance. "Besides, a good man's ambition is to roam the four corners of the world, and I also can't stay hidden in the mansion forever. Moreover, I've already promised Prince Lian."

  "Do you know Dingguo Hou?" Xurong nodded, this matter had already been mentioned in that letter.

  "Your Majesty, please don't let my father know." Xiao Feng sat up straight, then leaned back again due to dizziness. "I beg of Your Majesty one thing."

  "You're also a lonely younger brother who doesn't know what's good for him." Xū Róng was only belittling Xū Yáng, but he didn't mention directly ordering to shut Xū Yáng up, and he seemed to be even more pleased with the outcome.

  "When the time comes, if Father asks why I went to the Wang Fu, please tell him it was by Your Majesty's order." This remark coincided with his own thoughts, and he hadn't expected that Xiao Feng would bring it up himself, as he was still thinking about how to broach the subject.

  "Don't worry, I'll have you summoned to the palace once a month from now on. You can just go through the motions and report back to Prince Lian about some trivial matters, just to keep up appearances. Ah, I shouldn't have said that earlier. If you agree, then let's just forget about it." Xun Rong looked somewhat regretful.

  "The Emperor didn't expect it, nor did I, but after all, the monarch's words are not to be taken lightly." Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes, feeling rather helpless about the outcome. "The Emperor should return now, it's getting late." Xiao Feng coughed twice, "When the time comes, I will definitely keep a close eye on Wang for you, reporting every detail, no matter how small." These words seemed to be spoken with some gritted teeth, and Xi Rong was taken aback - wasn't this essentially saying that he would be Wang's informant?

  "You'd better think carefully. If the emperor's brother finds out about you, he will definitely not let you off." Xū Róng knew that although Xū Yáng only liked men and couldn't have children, he would absolutely not be lenient towards those who betrayed him by his side. His temperament was arrogant and eccentric, and usually no one dared to provoke him.
