Isn't it? Tonight, Chu Yixuan really did not want to go out. Qi Yu returned to the Safe House together with him. The servant brought hot water for him to wash her face and soak her feet, then took off her jacket and sat on the bed.

Qi Yu braced herself and asked: "Is everything done?"

"There's nothing more to do." Chu Yixuan nodded lightly.

"Then, do you need to check the results of the previous procedures?"

"Princess, you're thinking too much!" Chu Yixuan said, "For the past two nights, I was afraid that my coughing would affect the princess' rest, so I gave up my room for her. "However, I think I've pretty much recovered in the past two days. The couple should still sleep together in the same bed."

Qi Yu was startled. "So you are really at home two nights ago?"

"Otherwise?" Chu Yixuan spread out his hands, "The Prince Qi's manor is right under Royal Father's nose. I have the guts to do whatever I want."

Qi Yu was skeptical, "But I think you're very brave."

"It's not big." Chu Yixuan patted the side of the bed, "Come over."

Qi Yu took a step forward and stopped her stiff footsteps.

She was half believing and half doubting, she couldn't believe that the political situation of the Dongluo had changed so greatly, was Chu Yixuan really not planning to do anything about it?

In the Saint De Palace, Cheng Wan lowered her head and used a handkerchief to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes. Chu Zhe gently embraced her shoulder, and said gently: "Alright, Qing`er. Don't be sad anymore. The hardships of the past have passed. From today onwards, I will make you three better off than all the people in the world! "

"Your Majesty …"

"We know that you do indeed care about the hardships Little Zhi had endured in the Xu Family all these years. "It's all in the past now. I won't let her suffer any more grievances in the future!"

Cheng Wan turned her head with tears in her eyes, "But what does Your Majesty intend to do with Xuan'er? In my opinion, Xuan'er truly dotes on Little Zhi, and Little Zhi also has some feelings for him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have returned after leaving the Prince Qi Palace twice. "

Chu Zhe frowned.

"Is His Majesty really going to weaken all his power just to support Ha'er alone?" Cheng Wan asked again.

Chu Zhe asked her instead, "When did Xuan'er find out about your relationship with Little Zhi?"

Cheng Wan was startled: "It's New Year's Eve. What's the matter, Your Majesty? "

"Chu Zhe frowned even more tightly. He knew about the relationship between you and Little Zhi at that time, so he must have known that Xu Chang harbored hatred towards the two of us, right? And he did not report to me in time! "

"Could it be that His Majesty suspects that Xuan'er is colluding with Xu Chang?" Cheng Wan asked in surprise.

"Isn't that possible?" Chu Zhe looked displeased.

"But the Justice Division caused a severe punishment for Xuan'er, and Xuan'er did not admit to anything!"

"Maybe he's the same as his grandfather. His ears are soft, but his bones are hard!" Chu Zhe's tone gradually grew cold, and even more anger burned in his eyes. "This Emperor feels that he's like his grandfather, the older he grows, the more he looks like him! Damn it, damn it! "

"Your Majesty …" Cheng Wan hurriedly stood up, knelt on the ground in front of Chu Zhe and said softly: "Even if Xuan'er did not report this to him earlier, it is not really a big fault. After all, Your Majesty has long understood Xu Chang's thoughts. His Majesty had always been tolerant of others, but to treat Xu Chang with mercy for the past ten odd years, couldn't he just forgive his children this once? "Xuan'er is young, and mistakes are unavoidable, but his background is pitiful. Furthermore, he has suffered sick and tormented for many years. So, it's hard enough. Your Majesty, please forgive him once more!"

"Qing`er." Chu Zhe frowned, he extended his hand and supported Cheng Wan, "Why are you so magnanimous? However, Xuan'er's fault is detrimental to your safety. "

"No, Xuan'er did not harm me in any way. On the contrary, he took care of Little Zhi for me and did the things I did not do."

"However, Little Zhi has also suffered a lot during her stay in Prince Qi Palace these past two years."

"Even so, his attitude still changed. Now that he's treating Little Zhi very well, I'm already very satisfied."

Chu Zhe frowned, and did not say a word.

Cheng Wan continued: "Your Majesty, please think about it. If Xuan'er and Xu Chang really have something to do, why would she still vent her anger on Little Zhi? For the past two years, she has ignored Little Zhi and allowed herself to be bullied by the two lateral consort s."

"You're still speaking up for him."

"No, I'm just talking. Xuan'er originally said that because she was wary of Little Zhi, she had secretly investigated Little Zhi. In the end, she discovered all sorts of clues, which was why she was able to contact me. I think it's possible. I don't think that Xuan'er wanted to report this to His Majesty or me. Perhaps he just felt that it would be better to avoid unnecessary troubles and didn't want to cause trouble in the Eastern Palace. If he were to report to his majesty that he knew of the evidence between Little Zhi and I, how would his majesty look at him? "

Chu Zhe frowned, deep in thought. After a long time, he murmured, "Could it be that this child still has deeper thoughts?"

Cheng Wan was startled: "Your Majesty's words …. I wonder what that means? "

Chu Zhe glanced at Cheng Wan, and said. "Could it be that the news of how Yan Yan Yan was executed was leaked out?"

Cheng Wan was stunned.

Chu Zhe let out a long sigh. "I'm afraid the calamity left behind by all those things back then is finally going to happen."

Cheng Wan stared at Chu Zhe quietly as tears slowly filled his eyes. She consoled Chu Zhe, "Your majesty thinks too much. Things might not turn out as your majesty thinks, so your majesty should relax and take a good look at this child's performance."

"This is the only way!" Chu Zhe sighed, "The Seven Treasures Division has already been retracted, and the number of Palace guards have been reduced by half. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for him to do anything!"

"Xuan'er is a good child. He won't do anything rash."

"I hope so."

Chu Zhe slowly reached out and embraced Cheng Wan, "It's getting late, rest, Qing`er."

Cheng Wan stood up and said gently, "Let me help His Majesty undress."

"No." Chu Zhe waved his hand, "We still want to visit Ha'er in the Eastern Palace. Rest first, we will be back in a while."

Cheng Wan considerately brought out the cape for Chu Zhe, "It's a windy night, so your majesty should be careful not to catch a cold."

Chu Zhe gently patted the back of Cheng Wan's hand, "Rest assured."

The lights of the Eastern Palace remained on for the entire night.

Feng Qingmo sat alone at the table and drank his wine. He had already reached the bottom of two wine jars and had not moved his seat a single time for the entire night.

But he was not drunk. The precise position of the cup indicated that he was still awake.

However, the maids and servants of the Eastern Palace were still scared to the point of turning green.

The Crown Prince had been drinking alone for almost four hours. No matter how good his tolerance was, he would get drunk if he kept drinking like this!

If the Crown Prince was drunk and injured, when the king blamed them, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

After discussing for a while, one of the servants brought out a servant named Qiu Dao and whispered, "Quickly go and persuade the crown prince not to drink anymore. Otherwise, we will have to hand over our lives!"

"Why me?" Qiu Dao pointed at his nose in shock. His status was low, how could he dare to persuade the crown prince?

"Because you are honest. The Crown Prince should be more lenient towards those who are honest."

Feng Qingmo had only been here for a short while, yet he had already been seen through.

Qiu Dao was still trembling in fear. "But how could the crown prince listen to my words?"

"Then you still have to go! Hurry up and go, or else we'll all be finished! "

All of them looked at Qiu Dao with sullen faces. Qiu Dao looked at this and that. They had no other choice but to turn around with sullen faces. "If I can't persuade you, don't blame me …"

"It's good as long as you try your best. Go quickly!"

Thus, Qiu Dao was pushed in.

He halted his steps nervously and turned around to look at his comrade. Qiu Dao's legs were still locked in combat, and he truly wanted to cry.

However, the big guys were all waving at him, indicating that he should not retreat. Qiu Dao only mustered the courage to slowly walk into the great hall.

"Crown Prince …" The trembling sounds were like the leaves swaying in the autumn wind.

There was no response.

Feng Qingmo was still drinking as he calmly looked at the candle flame opposite him.

"Crown Prince …" This time, there was still no sound, but Qiu Dao mustered his courage again and said with a trembling voice, "Wine …" The wine is gone, don't drink anymore, Crown Prince! "

The wine was gone?

Feng Qingmo turned his head and looked at Qiu Dao.

"How dare you!" His gaze was like a sword as he waved the wine jar in his hand, "Don't you still have wine? How dare you lie to me? "

Qiu Dao almost fell to his knees from the sound of "courage". But, the way Feng Qingmo was shaking the wine jar behind him looked to be extremely intoxicating. Qiu Dao looked at Feng Qingmo with wide eyes. Could it be that the crown prince was drunk?

"Reporting to the crown prince …" Qiu Dao's trembling legs slowly stabilized as he forced himself to calm down. "There is still some wine in the pot in the crown prince's hands, but …" However, all the wine in the stock was gone. Small... This humble one means that after finishing this jar of wine, the crown prince should go to bed! "

Feng Qingmo frowned. So there are only these two jars of wine in the entire Eastern Palace? "

"Yes, it's like this," Qiu Dao wiped his forehead and continued, "The previous crown prince also liked to drink wine and the consort was afraid that he would make a mistake, so she only allowed him to keep two pots of wine every day. This way, the crown prince would have no chance to get drunk, so after finishing this pot, the crown prince would have no chance to drink any more!"

"So, after finishing this jar, it's time to go to bed?" Feng Qingmo's eyes blurred and he burped.

"Right, right, the crown prince is really smart!" Qiu Dao quickly gave Feng Qingmo a thumbs up.

He was already burping from the alcohol. It looked like the crown prince was drunk!

As expected, there weren't many people who could withstand two jars of strong wine.

Feng Qingmo slowly turned his head and looked at Qiu Dao. The serious look in his eyes made everyone panic.

Qiu Dao felt as if he was carrying a little live and jumping rabbit. "Putong, putong", he was jumping nonstop. Aiya, since entering the palace, no, in my entire life, I've never said so much at once, right?

However, in order to dissuade the Crown Prince from drinking, he had even lied! And it was something that would come at the drop of a hat!

Qiu Dao could only grieve in his heart. Qiu Dao was not such a person, he was not …

Feng Qingmo put down the jar of wine and slowly stood up. Qiu Dao nervously lowered his head, not knowing what Feng Qingmo wanted to do. There was only a "pa" sound, as Feng Qingmo's large hand suddenly patted Qiu Dao's shoulder. Qiu Dao almost fell apart from fright, and kneeled in front of Feng Qingmo.

"Please spare my life, Crown Prince!" Qiu Dao almost blurted out those words.

But then, Feng Qingmo picked him up and whispered in his ear: "Come in, do something for me."
