“…”

When Yingying returned to the Eastern Palace, the news that King Anping arrived at the imperial city had spread throughout the palace.

It's funny. When Jing Zhaoshi was expelled from the beginning, no one came to see him off quietly. Now, with the order of Emperor Wucheng, the emperor's cavalry escorted him back in person, and the huge situation was known to everyone.

[Is the host in a bad mood?] The system obviously feels that Yingying is in a low mood.

Yingying was in a very bad mood at this time, and the joy of finding Zhou Zishan was offset by Jing Zhaoshi's return. She suddenly remembered Zhaoshi's cold and heartless look when she went to see Zhaoshi off half a year ago. He said he would come back and hoped Yingying would not blame him.

Everything seemed like the next day, but the people of the past had already changed.

"He really shouldn't have come back." Yingying murmured in a low voice, picked up Abei and sat on the beauty couch.

She did not leave the bedroom again, so she didn't know how lively it was outside at this time. Xiaodai hurriedly pushed open the door of the bedroom and saw Yingying slacking and staring blankly. He hurriedly said, "Grandmaster, take a shower and change clothes quickly. Your Majesty has specially set up a family dinner for King Anping. You will go with Your Highness later."

Yingying was stunned for a moment, and the action of stroking the cat stopped, causing Abei to jump out of her arms. She asked blankly: "What did you say?"

Xiaodai urged Yingying to walk to the bath room, and explained the matter in detail on the road.

It's also interesting. When Zhu Zhaoshi went to the southwest to kill all the people, it was Emperor Wucheng who called them back to celebrate the family banquet. Yingying couldn't understand what Emperor Wucheng felt at this time, but she smelled the oppression that was about to come.

Sure, something will definitely happen.

After taking a shower, Yingying took her clothes and returned to the bedroom with Xiaodai, sitting silently on the couch to think about things. Xiaodai pushed open the closet to choose clothes for Yingying, and asked Yingying for her opinions from time to time.

Yingying thought of a question: "Since it's a family dinner, then... will my aunt go?"

Xiaodai paused for a moment, and he was very polite in his mood: "The Queen's confinement has not been lifted yet."

In other words, Gu Manru, as the queen, would not attend the so-called royal family dinner.

This is not a good thing, but it makes her relieved when she puts it on Yingying. It would be better if her aunt didn't go, otherwise if she met Zhao Shi, she might have caused some trouble. Before the misunderstanding was resolved, it would be the best choice for the two to avoid it.

"Ah, my grandmother!" Xiaodai, who was helping Yingying pick up clothes, suddenly exclaimed.

She picked out a beautiful little sachet from the closet and sighed: "Why does the Empress still keep this sachet? If His Highness sees it, you will definitely be unhappy."

The sachet that Xiaodai found was the one that Zhao Shi gave to Yingying.

A few days ago, Qin Rong threw this sachet on the ground, and his dislike of it was obvious. Yingying was not an ignorant person either. Since then, she has put this sachet under the closet and has never worn it again.

Seeing this sachet, Yingying could think of Zhaoshi. She knew that Xiaodai wanted her to throw it away, but...

"Please keep it first." Yingying said this at the beginning.

Xiaodai wanted to speak but stopped, and finally put the sachet back in the closet.

When Qin Rong came back, Xiaodai was telling her the rules to pay attention to in the family banquet. Yingying was absent-minded. She had just finished the shower and was wearing only a loose bedcloth, giving the two kittens in her arms a hair.

"Empress, do you remember what I told you just now?" Xiaodai carried out the selected dress.

Yingying responded perfunctorily, but she lowered her head and didn't notice Qin Rong's return. She said directly: "Can I not go?"

Xiaodai was stunned: "What did the Empress say?"

She turned around and found Qin Rong. When she was hustle and was stopped by Qin Rong when she raised her hand.

Qin Rong walked behind Yingying, looked at her tender neck that was exposed by her head, and heard her say weakly: "I don't want to attend any family dinner."

The so-called royal family dinner is nothing more than a group of people who are dissatisfied with each other, keeping their surface calm, hiding their swords behind their backs to plot against each other.

My aunt could not attend this family dinner, and the one who went on her behalf was Concubine Shu. Yingying now knew the truth back then. She really didn't want to see Concubine Shu and Emperor Wucheng. She was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions. Moreover, when there was Jing Zhao at the family dinner, she didn't know how to face it...

"Since you don't want to go, then don't go." A low voice interrupted Yingying's contemplation, and Yingying turned around and found Qin Rong.

Xiaodai had already stepped down at some point, and only the two of them were left in the room. Seeing Yingying turn around, Qin Rong leaned over to control her little face. He raised Yingying's cheek with two fingers and stroked the corner of her eyes with his other hand, "Have you cried?"

Yingying's skin was very white. After taking a shower, her eyes turned red and her eyes were a little stuffy because of her depressed mood. Her eyes were red as if she had cried.

"No." Yingying sniffed twice, broke away from Qin Rong's hand and hugged his waist.

At this time, she urgently needed to find a support, so she buried her head in Qin Rong's arms and rubbed her back, and she said softly: "Can I really not go to the family banquet?"

Qin Rong lowered her eyes and lifted her hair away, gently pressed her soft back neck, and curled her thin lips and responded: "Of course."

He didn't want Yingying to attend the family dinner, which was just right for him.

"I am the one who is the father. If Yingying is tired, she should rest early and don't wait for me to come back." It's getting late, and Qin Rong needs to go there earlier.

When Qin Rong left, Yingying originally wanted to visit her aunt, but later she was worried that Qin Rong would use her illness as an excuse, so she obediently stayed in the room to rest early, lying on the couch but tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Yingying didn't know what happened at the family dinner that day, but she knew that it was already midnight when Qin Rong returned to her room. Qin Rong, who had never touched wine, had a strong aroma of wine. In the dark night, he hugged Yingying and put his chin on her shoulder, gently patted and stroked her back to coax her to sleep, which was gentle and trembling.

"Third Brother?" Yingying couldn't help calling him in a low voice.

In the quiet environment, her voice was weak and trembling. Qin Rong's warm breath sprayed in her ears, and she only said softly: "Hmm?"

Yingying grabbed his clothes uneasy and asked tentatively: "...Is something happened?"

She always felt something was wrong with Qin Rong.

Qin Rong paused her slightly, but for a moment, he responded casually: "It's okay, the third brother is just thinking, if one of the third brothers really kill Zhao, Yingying would have a fuss with me."

This is not the first time Qin Rong said this, but Yingying really felt that the murderous intent on Qin Rong was stronger than ever before.

What exactly happened at the family dinner? Or... what did Zhaoshi do to Qinrong?

Yingying felt more and more uneasy, and she didn't know how to answer Qin Rong's question. Fortunately, Qin Rong did not force it. He lifted Yingying's hair and kissed the corner of her lips gently, and smiled and said, "It's getting late, Yingying will go to bed earlier."

Yingying could not sleep anywhere. She was so confused that she was so confused that she didn't feel sleepy until dawn.

Influenced by Qin Rong, Yingying was not at ease when she fell asleep. When she dreamed of her childhood, the proud and arrogant Prince His Highness had a handsome face and was rolling up her clothes and posing in the pool to catch things.

"What kind of broken thing is worthy of your disguise?"

"Gu Yingyinggu really gave you a face. If it weren't for losing to you just now, Gu wouldn't have found you that bad thing. The best thing is that I can't find!"

Yingying hadn't seen such a sign for a long time. In his dream, he was furious and said he was unforgivable. Yingying was not afraid of his identity as a prince and was yawning under the tree to enjoy the cool air.

Yingying remembered that this was a real thing, as if Qin Rong had given her a little rabbit carved with jade, but Zhao Shi saw it thrown into the pool. Listening to the sound of water not far away, Yingying's memory also drifted back. She remembered that Zhao Shi had not found her little rabbit, and she caught a cold because of it.

Wow—

Wow—

The sound of the water suddenly stopped. Yingying looked at the pool in confusion, but found that the young man who was supposed to be looking for something in the water floated horizontally on the water surface. The water waves were shining in the sun, and Zhao Shi's face was pale and wide open his eyes, and a trace of blood flowed into the water along the cracks of his clothes. Yingying saw that his eyes looked at him from helpless to cold, and finally stared at her coldly.

"Zhishi..."

"Zhaoshi?!" Yingying was confused, not understanding how the kung fu became like this in a blink of an eye.

She staggered from the tree and was about to run to the pond when an arm suddenly stretched out to stop her. A low laughter came from behind, and the man hugged her from behind and hugged her into his arms, whispering gently: "Isn't it good for him to die?"

"Yingying, he threw away the things that I gave you."

Looking back, Yingying saw Qin Rong's smiling face, and he lowered his eyes and stared at her.

Yingying shook her head and broke away from Qin Rong's arms. She retreated: "It's not like this, it's not..."

After taking a few steps back, her back suddenly hit a person. Dripping blood beads fell on Yingying's shoulders. Yingying turned around and saw Zhao Shi. He stood in front of her with blood all over her face, holding a long sword in her hand.

"Zhao--" Without waiting for Yingying to make a sound, the sword light flashed and the sword body rushed towards her.

Yingying closed her eyes and heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the flesh. Then she opened her eyes and fell in front of her and became a royal line. The blood spread. When she heard the Zhao, she sneered and said, "I won."

"Yingying, you won't blame me, are you?"

"I said that if I come back again, I will definitely not let your prince's brother and aunt go."

"Next, it's your turn."

……don't want.

don't want!!

Yingying was awakened by Xiaodai. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiaodai's worried face. She helped Yingying stand up and asked softly: "Is the queen a nightmare?"

Yingying's whole body was cold and her heart was beating violently, and she had not yet recovered from peace.

It was noon at this time. She curled up in the corner of the couch, hugging Jin tightly and was asked, "Where is the third brother?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has gone to the Imperial Study Room, and he hasn't come back yet."

Yingying closed her eyes and waited for a while before she got out of the nightmare. I have to say that this nightmare was the thing she was most worried about. She didn't want Qin Rong to kill Zhao Shi, but she was worried that she could not persuade Zhao Shi, so that Zhao Shi would hurt Qin Rong and her aunt.

It was difficult to choose between the two sides, which made Yingying fall into trouble. She remembered the abnormality of Qin Rong coming back yesterday and asked Xiaodai: "Do you know what happened to the family dinner yesterday?"

Xiaodai thought for a while and replied: "I don't know very well, but Cui'er said that she saw Prince Anping and Concubine Shu meet today, and the two of them said something in the Imperial Garden for a long time."

"Oh by the way, the people of King Anping also went to the Prince's Study in the morning, and it seemed that they had received some memorandum."

As Yingying guessed, Emperor Wucheng's purpose of summoning Zhaoshi back was impure. Now it seems that he not only wanted Zhaoshi to restrain Qin Rong, but also wanted to help Zhaoshi take back the power in Qin Rong's hands. But Zhaoshi is fine, but why did he have to join forces with Concubine Shu?

Thinking of her aunt who was still in prison, Yingying lowered her eyelashes, she did indeed walk into a strange road at the same time.

“…”

Yingying stayed in the palace for two days before leaving the palace again. When she learned that Zhao Shi had returned, she was arranged to move into the palace by Emperor Wucheng, so she had not left the East Palace for two days and had never met him.

On that day, Yingying went to the Zhou family tavern again.

When she saw Zhou Zishan, she felt better and found a table by the window to sit down, "It's better to serve the best wine and food."

Zhou Zishan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He personally brought the wine for Yingying, but no longer left as usual. Instead, he stopped in front of her and said, "Although the wine in our Zhou family is not good, it is not cheap."
