"Cough, cough ~ ~ ~"

Wei Qing choked on her tea, coughing heavily.

Xiao Qingqian cast a sideways glance at her. "It seems like Princess Hua-Yang wants to say it again in front of this duke."

Wei Qing glared at him with her red eyes.

The empress dowager smiled at the two of them exchanging glances as if there was no one else around. Her smile grew even more gratified.

"Third brother, you have to work hard!" An Ran's words were sincere and earnest.

No matter how much Wei Qing liked Seventh Prince Chu Yin, the two of them were, after all, quite a distance away from each other. Furthermore, the most important thing was that Wei Qing was currently still Xiao Qingqian's official wife, so she believed that as long as Xiao Qingqian saw his sincerity, he would definitely fall in love with Xiao Qingqian.

Xiao Qingqian could naturally hear the deep meaning behind An Ran's words, he smirked: "Alright, work hard! However, we still need the cooperation of an imperial concubine! "

That day in the dark room, he had rolled up her sleeve and seen clearly her gatekeeping sand.

He was very happy that she was still a virgin.

It was as if the item he cared about belonged to him!

If this wasn't the Tzu Ning Palace, Wei Qing would really give him a ruthless slap, and ask him if he still had the face to do so!

She pursed her lips, that disdainful look not only did not make Xiao Qingqian angry, but the smile on her face had also become more profound.

After staying in Tzu Ning Palace for a while, Xiao Qingqian and Wei Qing got on the carriage and prepared to return to Prince Chu’s Mansion.

Wei Qing looked warily at Xiao Qingqian, whose eyes were looking deep, and pursed her lips, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Before, after the Royal Concubine pierced me, Ben Wang felt the pain in his heart lessen quite a bit. So, would you dare to give me a shot tonight?"

Wei Qing had also thought that it might be possible, but after all, treating the patient was simply too risky.

"Esteemed wangfei, don't worry. This king agreed to this matter, so there's no need to implicate my wangfei!"

The carriage suddenly jolted, and Wei Qing directly fell towards Xiao Qingqian.

Xiao Qingqian extended his arm and wrapped it tightly around Wei Qing, his face sullen and angry: "What happened?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the front of the hall has suddenly been packed with people. This subordinate will go investigate right now!"

Xiao Qingqian lifted up the carriage's curtain to look outside, and sure enough, it was surrounded by a group of people.

Very soon, the shadow guard returned, "Your Royal Highness, everyone is rushing to buy a snack for the Treasure House!"

Treasure House … dessert?!

Wei Qing had always been tasty, but after hearing that everyone was frantically fighting over the snacks, she was curious about how strange this snack was.

Xiao Qingqian pulled Wei Qing's hand as they clearly saw his sparkling eyes.

"What are you doing?"

She was like a bee hibernating and twisting, completely disregarding whether or not she would hurt herself.

Xiao Qingqian's expression right now was extremely injured!

It had to be known that because he had been infected by the Awakening Dan, every time he came into contact with Wei Qing, he would suffer extreme pain.

Looking at Wei Qing's expression just now, he guessed that Wei Qing must have gotten greedy and wanted to buy some for her. But unexpectedly, she had such a reaction.

Looking at Xiao Qingqian's dim eyes, Wei Qing tightly pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Xiao Qingqian's face darkened, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Take a detour!"

Since she doesn't know what's good for her, then don't blame him for being ruthless!

Wei Qing smelled the fragrance of the dim sum in the air and very reluctantly raised the curtain to take a look outside.

When the carriage returned to Prince Chu’s Mansion, Xiao Qingqian coldly glanced at her as he got off the carriage and took the lead.

Wei Qing curled his lips as he looked at his retreating back, truly becoming more and more nervous.

After a while, An Ran came to the Prince Chu’s Mansion.

Wei Qing smelled a familiar fragrance, and an unconcealable smile surfaced between her brows, "Treasure Gathering House's dessert?"

"How did Third Sister-in-Law know?" An Xin felt that Wei Qing was delicious, so she bought two servings.

Wei Qing quickly picked up an exquisite piece of dessert and stuffed it into her mouth. She closed her eyes and slowly savored it.

"Delicious!" It's too delicious! " Wei Qing called the three servant girls over, and each of them shared a piece. Then, she stuffed another piece into her own mouth.

An Xin was dumbfounded, it was not only because Wei Qing did not treat the servant girls as outsiders, but also because of Wei Qing's low status!

"Third Sister-in-Law, if no one wants to snatch it from you, eat it slowly!"

Outside the palace, Xiao Qingqian held onto the exquisite box, his brows knitted tightly.

Tranquility was truly annoying. Every time, he would do bad things out of the kindness of his heart!

Suddenly, he saw the tall figure at the entrance of the courtyard and exclaimed in peace, "Third Brother!"

After being discovered, Xiao Qingqian did not continue hiding, and casually walked in.

Wei Qing wanted to quickly swallow the dim sum down, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

An Xin was completely focused on the box in Xiao Qingqian's hands, and did not notice that Wei Qing was choked.

Xiao Qingqian rushed over to Wei Qing's side and quickly poured for her tea, "Drink some!"

Wei Qing drank the tea and swallowed the dim sum down with great difficulty. Her eyes looked like a rabbit's.

An Ran looked at the two of them with a smile, "So Third Brother is so considerate!"

Wei Qing's gaze fell upon the box he placed at the side, and stared blankly for a moment.

Didn't he just have a dark expression on his face?

Why was he here with a snack from the Treasure House?

… ….

For a moment, their emotions were mixed.

An Jing swept her gaze across the two people's faces, "Since third brother is here, I'll go back first!"

Xiao Qingqian replied with an expressionless face.

Wei Qing patted her chest and replied, "You won't stay here for long?"

"No, but I can't let Zuo Xinci continue to act arrogantly!" An Ran pursed her lips meaningfully before she quickly left.

"You are really vulgar!" After An Ran left, Xiao Qingqian scolded her in a bad mood.

Xiao Qingqian himself didn't know what was going on with him, if anyone else dared to shout at him like that, he would definitely be sent flying with a palm strike.

However, looking at Wei Qing who was like an enraged little beast, he couldn't help but smile.

Wei Qing caught the smile on the corner of his mouth, and he frowned.

Xiao Qingqian was too weird!

"Eat slowly, Princess. This King has already ordered several boxes of dim sum from the Treasure House. It won't be repeated every day!"

Wei Qing opened her mouth wide, "Oh".

Xiao Qingqian came back that night and asked Wei Qing how was the dessert.

Wei Qing did not reply. She took out the poisoned silver needle and spoke with a serious expression: "I am not sure what will happen after this injection either. Are you really ready?"
