The night was so rich that it seemed to be unable to melt. The house gradually stopped. The palace people walked in with their heads down in an orderly manner. There was a live water hot spring in Fengquan Palace. Xiao Chen put on his inner clothes, covered Luo Ran's body with his outer shirt, and hugged her into the bathroom.

Luo Ran closed his eyes slightly and leaned against the hot spring. Xiao Chen was beside her. The palace servant walked up and knelt behind Luo Ran, gently pinched her shoulders, helping her get rid of the fatigue. Xiao Chen lowered his head. When someone was there, he was silent.

He felt a little disappointed because Luo Ran did not answer his question. He was a little panicked. I don’t know if it was because of Qi Feng’s identity and appearance, or because of Luo Ran’s attitude.

Luo Ran seemed to feel his emotions, half open his eyes, waved at the palace servants behind him, and the palace servants quietly retreated. Xiao Chen heard the movement and raised his head and saw her looking at him.

She handed a look, Xiao Chen moved, entered the hot spring, let her lean in her arms, gently pressed her back with one hand, and then she heard her still with a little charming sound, lingering around the heartstrings of people.

"What are you thinking?"

Xiao Chen pursed his lips. He couldn't say what he had just said, but he was too uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did the Empress let the Third Prince enter the palace?"

Luo Ran's eyes were bright, she looked at him with a slight smile, "Is it sour?"

Xiao Chen shook his eyebrows and said nothing, but he seemed to be more accustomed to it.

Luo Ran closed his eyes and said Qianqian, "Just look at him as beautiful as he is, and it is pleasing to the eyes in the palace."

But this answer is obviously not what Xiao Chen wants, and he even doesn't want to hear it. His thin lips were pursed into a line, and his eyes were staring at the beauty in front of him with a slight and darkness. He pulled his mouth and his voice was a little hoarse

"Does Empress still remember what happened to Xiao Chen?"

Luo Ran naturally remembered that she turned around and faced Xiao Chen. Her jade hand gently stroked Xiao Chen's face. Xiao Chen's expression moved slightly, but her body did not dare to move. Luo Ran lowered her eyes slightly, and her red lips seemed to be pressed against his face. When she opened the red lips, it seemed to slide across his cheek, which made him feel a little numb and his heart tremble slightly.

He just heard her words, with a little carelessness, "I remember."

Before Xiao Chen could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw her beautiful eyes glance at him, with a smile in his voice, but a sense of coldness, "But you must be good too."

Xiao Chen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the eldest princess incident in Jinning Palace that day. His face was slightly pale and he felt a little unaware of grievance. Xiao Chen looked at the bright redness that had not yet dissipated from her eyes, barely curled the corners of her mouth and asked her

"Don't the Empress believe me?"

Luo Ran seemed to have a flash of heartache in her eyes, and she glanced at him, "Okay, the prince of Xiliang Kingdom, I will let him enter the palace and have my own plans to let him enter the palace. Don't make such a fuss next time."

Only then did Xiao Chen realize that she had been teasing him, which made him worried for so long. He felt a little resentful in his heart. When he looked at her, he couldn't help but bring some out. Not only did Luo Ran not feel guilty, but instead chuckled, as if he had encountered something fun.

Xiao Chen raised the corner of his mouth without any trace, and looked at the soft color in her eyes. However, when she was carrying her back, her eyes still couldn't help but become dark.

Although the Empress said this, he was still worried.

So... Xiao Chen thought of someone, and his eyes were regained in normal color and a little cold. She made herself suspected by the empress and should pay something. In this way, it would be cheaper for her.

If there was someone in the bathroom at this time, you would find Luo Ran in front of Xiao Chen, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, which was extremely gentle but slightly aroused, making people feel cold in their hearts. The expressions of the two looked very similar at some point.

Imperial Garden

Qi Feng followed Luo Ran, followed by a group of people behind her, as if they were today, and the spring scenery in the garden was full of spring. Among the people, Qi Feng's gaze couldn't help but pause on her. She put it on the arm of the little eunuch beside her. He looked at the little eunuch, frowned slightly, and exuded a feminine spirit like the spoiled young man.

Luo Ran twisted a flower and asked him casually, "Can the third prince adapt to this period of time in the palace?"

Just like an ordinary friend chatting, Qi Feng moved his eyes to her fingertips along the flower. His fingers were white and his skin seemed to be broken. People couldn't help but worry about whether the flower branch would scratch her hand. His eyes flashed, and he answered as if it were.

"I'm sorry to worry about the Empress Dowager, Qi Feng thinks it's good."

Luo Ran looked at the delicate flower in her hand and crushed it bit by bit. Qi Feng looked at her movements and squinted his eyes. He heard her smiling voice, "The third prince must be curious, why did this palace let you enter the palace?"

Looking at her smiling face, Qi Feng twisted his fingers. No wonder, the men who entered her palace were all obsessed with him. He lowered his expression in his eyes and bowed his hand respectfully.

"Qi Feng is indeed puzzled, I hope the Empress will solve the doubts for Qi Feng."

Luo Ran approached him unexpectedly, and Qi Feng's eyes suddenly felt cold, but he didn't move. Luo Ran seemed to not notice the coldness he had at that moment, and spit out a few words in his ears lightly. The coldness in Qi Feng's eyes gradually faded, and finally turned into a trace of exploration.

Luo Ran stood up straight, looked at him as usual, with a clear look in his eyes, "What do the third prince think?"

"But with the instructions of the Empress." Qi Feng stood beside her, thinking about what she had just said, and he rarely became curious about someone.

The two walked to the pavilion and sat down. There were several plates of fruits and pastries on the stone table. Xiao Fuzi stood beside her and saw her gaze pausing in the plate of longans. Her clear fingers spread a longan, peeling out a round and plump flesh, and delivering it to Luo Ran's mouth. She opened her red lips slightly, stretched out her pink tongue, and then took the flesh in her mouth.

Qi Feng sat aside and looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly, and he watched her spit out the kernel in silence. The palace servant beside her caught it with a veil, and went back and forth. After a few, the little eunuch stopped and whispered to remind him.

"Empress, why not eat some fragrant pears?"

Although he did not say it clearly, it was like eating too much longan would get angry. Luo Ran waved his hand and signaled him to retreat. When he raised his eyes, Luo Ran's eyes were paused. Qi Feng also saw it and looked along her gaze. He saw that the man staring at him at the banquet that day was standing in the distance. Seeing them looking over, he said nothing, but looked at Luo Ran coldly, bowed and turned around and left.

Qi Feng had a guess about his identity. When he looked at Luo Ran again, he saw that the smile on her face had faded, as if she was tired. She stood up with Xiao Fuzi's hand and said to Qi Feng.

"There are still some trivial matters in this palace. If the third prince has nothing to do, he will stay in this imperial garden for a while."

Her last sentence was a bit meaningful, with a smile in her eyes, she glanced at Qi Feng, and then she took the ceremonial guard to leave.

Qi Feng stood up and sent her away respectfully, but behind her, his eyes changed. The Empress Dowager seemed to be a little special to the man just now.

After Luo Ran left, Qi Feng did not rush to leave, but sat in the imperial garden for a while as Luo Ran said. It was only then that he knew what she was trying to do.

Qi Feng looked at the woman in front of her. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and she looked like she was used to being pampered. She was wearing a tender yellow dress. At this time, her eyes were filled with tears, like pear blossoms, and no matter how much a man was here, she was afraid she felt pity.

However, Qi Feng was praised for his appearance since childhood. Although this is not a good reputation for a man, it cannot be denied that he was tired of looking at his face, not to mention that Shi Nianshuang was not as good as him.

A deep thought flashed in Qi Feng's eyes. It was not because of Shi Nianshuang in front of him, but because of Luo Ran's words. Was it because of this person?

Shi Nianshuang did not expect that she would come to the Imperial Garden to meet the third prince of Xiliang Kingdom. However, she didn't care about so much at this time and was extremely disappointed. She couldn't help but burst into tears in her eyes. She received a message from Xiao Chen, asking her to see him at the Imperial Garden. Although she revenges and hates him, she can't replace her loving him.

But...but...she is not a fool. Now that she sees Qi Feng, how could she not understand what Xiao Chen means?

He saw that he would come, Shi Nianshuang bit his lips, and two lines of clear tears fell. After Xiao Chen left that day, she regretted it. When she heard that Xiao Chen had a problem with his legs, she regretted it even more.

But even if she regrets it, she now understands Xiao Chen's thoughts, which makes her feel ashamed. She only feels pain in her heart. She doesn't care that Qi Feng is still there, so she squats on the ground and cries bitterly, disregarding her face.

She cried pitifully and was still immersed in her emotions. Suddenly she heard a slightly hesitant voice.

"Princess?"

Although the voice was indifferent, the deliberately slowed down sounded like the spring breeze blowing on her face. Shi Nianshuang raised her head and looked at the person in front of her with tears in her eyes. He looked very good, even Xiao Chen could not compare to it, but she had long been unable to see other people.

But at this moment, Shi Nianshuang forced a smile, stood up with the hands of the palace servant beside him, held a handkerchief in one hand and wiped tears, while saying to Qi Feng.

"Let the third prince laugh."

The forced smile was really pitiful. Qi Feng frowned slightly and looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong with the eldest princess?"

Shi Nianshuang rushed to the Imperial Garden in a hurry, but when she saw him, she covered her face and cried bitterly. Anyone who fell into her eyes would feel confused. Qi Feng's words were reasonable.

Shi Nianshuang looked at the person in front of her, and suddenly felt a little self-deprecating. She knew what Xiao Chen meant, but she just wanted to use her. Although she was not as good as Luo Ran's appearance, she was favored by God. Otherwise, she would not have thought that Xiao Chen would fall in love with her at the beginning.

She just suddenly felt a little funny. Everything he did was to be jealous, and she, knowing what he was going to do, was willing to be used.

She actually wanted to help him approach another woman.

She was in a lot of emotions, but on her face she bit her lips and her cheeks were a little pink, as if she was shy just now. Shi Nian was the heroine, and she looked like she looked like she was looking at her appearance. She knew what she was going to do at this time, and she made a gesture that was even more eye-catching than the spring scenery in the garden.

Qi Feng's eyes flashed slightly. When he was in Xiliang Kingdom, he knew most that many noble girls claimed to be secretly sending him a secret message. Shi Nianshuang's posture meant.

He didn't think anything, but thought about the Queen Mother's words just now, what else does the eldest princess have done now?

Qi Feng tried his best to maintain the gentle young master's appearance, and first comforted her, until he saw her burst into tears and smiled, he turned around and left with confidence.

As soon as he turned around, Shi Nianshuang changed his expression and looked towards Fengquan Palace. Now he lives in the side hall of Fengquan Palace, and she couldn't even see him.

Luo Ran returned to Fengquan Palace, but saw Xiao Chen waiting for her in the inner hall. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, sat on the soft couch, and said with a smile, "I thought you would get angry and go back to the side hall."

Xiao Chen approached her, sat behind her, surrounded her, and said indifferently, "What's the point of getting up? Do you make a seat for others?"

Luo Ran was obviously surprised by his monetization. He turned around and hooked his neck and fell down, joking with a little joke, "Why, aren't you jealous today?"

Although Xiao Chen is a male favorite, Luo Ran does not regard him as humble. He holds her soft waist with one hand and allows her to do whatever she wants on her lips. Luo Ran has a bit of a bad intention and loves to see Xiao Chen's emotional appearance the most. A layer of mist appears in his cold eyes.

Xiao Chen frowned, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his hand clenched into a fist, but he did not move. There was still someone in the palace, his eyes were red, but he still couldn't bear to let her stop. In the end, Luo Ran was kind-hearted and pecked his lips and let him go.

Xiao Fuzi stood aside with his eyebrows down and his eyes glad to see this scene, it was all fake to say that he was not sad, but he was not the first to see this scene. He has even become accustomed to it for seven years.

Only Xiao Chen came after the death of the late emperor, and he was only willing to be the only one left by the Empress.

Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Fuzi, and saw that his face was normal, frowned almost imperceptibly, then withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened, and answered Luo Ran's question just now, "Will the Empress stop seeing him?"

Although he spoke plainly, he also had a tentative thought in his heart.

Luo Ran seemed not to hear his temptation, and still smiled lightly, spitting out a gentle knife and "see." It hurts.

Xiao Chen paused, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes uncontrollably. He pulled the corners of his mouth and stopped talking. He remembered what he had done today. He slowed down his expression and gently twisted Luoran's black hair.

Luo Ran accompanied Xiao Chen for lunch and asked him to leave. Xiao Fuzi stepped forward and told Luo Ran to listen to all the actions Xiao Chen had made today.

After Luo Ran heard this, a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that Shi Nianshuang would do this for Xiao Chen, take the tea handed over by Xiao Fuzi, sip it gently, and let everyone retreat.

There was no one in the hall, and Qi'er gradually appeared. He looked at her strangely, but spoke indifferently, "You are soft-hearted."

Luo Ran closed her eyebrows and looked at the tea in front of her. The smoke seemed to be more fairy-like, making people unable to see her expression for a moment.

After a long time, she smiled lightly, and she smiled naturally, "How is it possible."

Qi'er did not expose her, but said coldly, "You can be soft-hearted, and the mission can be failed, as long as you can bear the consequences."

Luo Ran's bright face instantly lost all blood. She remembered the pain that was engraved into the bone marrow like a shadow. She remained motionless for a long time and seemed to be trapped in memories again.

Qi'er looked at her appearance and her eyes flashed with unknown emotions, as if...heartache.

After a long time, Luo Ran's face returned to normal. Qi'er breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he knew that it was difficult to make Luo Ran's heart soft, but he had to remind her.

Luo Ran understood Qi'er's thoughts, but just thinking of the pain made her shudder. Her eyes seemed to be filled with mist, and she looked straight at Qi'er. Qi'er's eyes moved, and the next moment, the figure appeared beside her, letting her lean on her body. Luo Ran wrapped her arms around his waist, and her sleeves slid down with this movement. She said aggrievedly.

"Qi'er, I feel so painful."

Just a simple sentence made Qi'er close her eyes. He was with her. If her mission succeeded, he would get benefits. However, if the mission failed, he could not feel any pain.
