“…”

Yingying really didn't know whether it was lucky or not to meet Qin Rong at this time, because Qin Rong, who had just returned from the palace, didn't look very good.

The wind was chilly at night, and the other shortcut she chose was the most harsh on weekdays. Tonight, probably because of the appearance of an assassin, Yingying passed by without any danger and was quite smooth.

Avoid the secret guards, slipped back to the bedroom, took off his night clothes and hid them, and all the movements were done in one go. When Yingying retreated safely into the bed, only her own heartbeat was quietly left in the room.

Dongdong, Dongdong-

Yingying's hands and feet were cold, and she was huddled in the quilt and trying hard to breathe calmly. She finally heard the system praise: [Host, it's amazing.]

Meeting Qin Rong made Yingying burst out. She exuded her survival instinct, and the system had never seen her move so quickly.

Yingying had no chance to reply. Soon, a slight sound of footsteps came from outside the room. When the door was pushed open, Yingying shrank and grabbed the thin blanket under the couch. She closed her eyes tightly to force herself to calm down, and heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

After the faint rustle, Yingying felt the bed sinking. Qin Rong habitually hugged Yingying into her arms after getting on the bed, but it was cold to get it.

At the same time, Yingying rolled into Qin Rong's warm arms and realized how cool she was. She shivered uncontrollably. She felt her arms tighten a little, and a warm breath pounced on her cheeks.

[Host, Qin Rong is looking down at you.]

[Don't blame me for not reminding you, he seems to see that you are pretending to be asleep.]

In the dark environment, although Yingying couldn't see Qin Rong, after hearing the system's reminder, she seemed to feel the gaze of Qin Rong falling on her cheek. Her heart skipped a beat. Before Yingying could react, Qin Rong's voice suddenly came to her ears, and he covered her ear and said, "Why is Yingying so cold?"

...He found that she was awake?!

Yingying's eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes as Qin Rong said. There was no candlelight in the room. With the faint moonlight, Yingying saw Qin Rong's blurred side face and pretended to have just woken up. She buried her head in Qin Rong's arms and rubbed gently, asking softly, "How did the third brother know that Yingying is awake?"

Without giving Qin Rong a chance to speak, she vaguely sounded as if she could fall asleep at any time, and said to herself: "The third brother is not here, Yingying is sleeping so uneasy."

"Yingying just had a nightmare and dreamed that her aunt didn't want Yingying anymore."

"It's not just that she doesn't want Yingying anymore, but even the third brother doesn't want Yingying anymore. There is only Yingying left in the white world in the dream. I don't know who pushed it into the cold pond. It's so cold and terrifying..."

She made up nightmare casually. Yingying was actually hinting at why Qin Rong was so cold. She had never lie and didn't know how to hide her emotions. At this moment, her acting skills were really going to trick her. She asked Qin Rong: "Three brother, what do you mean by this dream?"

"Is something going on my aunt?"

"It's still me..." Before the next few words were spoken out, Qin Rong put his hand on her lips.

He 'ssh' and whispered to her: "Don't talk nonsense."

Yingying blinked her eyes and looked at his blurry handsome face, as if she was much more awake than before.

I don’t know if Qin Rong noticed the problem, but in short, he didn’t ask the question just now. Yingying relaxed and hooked Qin Rong’s neck and kissed him on the lips. Qin Rong comforted and patted her on the back: “Get to sleep quickly.”

"This time, the third brother sleeps with you, Yingying, don't have nightmares anymore."

Yingying was really tired after running around all night, and responded softly. Her consciousness gradually became blurred and she was hugged by Qin Rong and fell asleep quickly.

Because there was something hidden in her heart, Yingying didn't sleep for too long. When she woke up, the person beside her disappeared again. She sat on the couch and was stunned, thinking about what happened last night.

Is Boyuan Kong Wei the last night?

Who is Min Hua who died tragically in the wilderness by his aunt and Bo Yuan? What is his relationship with his aunt?

A string of doubts could not get the answer, Yingying couldn't help but feel a headache. At this moment, Xiaodai and Cui'er heard the sound in the house and came in with a tray to serve Yingying to wash. Yingying still remembered the noise in the palace last night, and was worried that Boyuan would be caught and implicated in his aunt. Yingying pretended to ask casually: "What's the hottest thing in the palace recently?"

Xiaodai was not as long as Cui'er stayed in the palace. When Cui'er saw Xiaodai shook her head, she replied, "I know a little."

Yingying yawned: "Let me tell you."

"..." Cui'er didn't know what Yingying was thinking, so naturally it was impossible to hit the point at once. She first talked about some interesting things between the concubines. Seeing that Yingying was not interested, she had a sudden idea and thought of something related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"By the way!"

Cui'er said, "The Empress was resting last night for a long time. I heard that there was an assassin in the palace last night. The assassin was also unlucky. When he left the palace, he happened to meet His Royal Highness the Prince who had returned to the palace. Several people met him. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince brought Zuo Zhu and Youyang with him and injured him."

Yingying became interested and she quickly asked, "What? Did the assassin catch it?"

Cui'er was waiting for Yingying to care about His Royal Highness, but she didn't expect that the first person she asked about was the assassin. After thinking about it, she swallowed it back into her stomach. Cui'er shook her head, "No, the assassin is very cunning. The Imperial Guards have not found his traces all night. They are kneeling outside His Royal Highness's study."

"It should be punished, but I can't even catch an assassin. What's wrong with something happening in the future?" Yingying said something agreed, but she was glad that the group of guards had not caught anyone.

After getting what you want to know, Yingying waved Xiaodai and Cui'er away after a while. She stayed alone in the room and pondered, frowned and asked the system: "You said... Could Boyuan last night be Kong Wei?"

The system replied: [There is no relevant prompt in the information given by No. 001.]

Yingying rubbed her cheeks irritably. She found that the identities of Boyuan and Min Hua were actually not important. What was important was the news that Yingying discovered last night that her aunt did not want to give up revenge on Emperor Wu Cheng, and there was a tendency to become more and more serious.

Recalling the conversation she heard last night, Yingying could see that her aunt hated Emperor Wucheng very much. She was confused and didn't know how to dissuade her aunt from giving up revenge. Yingying suddenly remembered a way in her mind.

"System!" she asked anxiously, "You said the mission is to prevent your aunt from taking revenge on His Majesty, right?"

【right.】

"If my aunt knew that her child was not dead, wouldn't she have to take revenge?"

Yingying's mind was slow and she had been ignoring the prompts given to her by the system. From what she overheard last night, she could find out that her aunt and Boyuan didn't know that the child was not dead. If she found the child and let her aunt meet her, wouldn't she hate Your Majesty so much?

The system silently said: [You said it well, but the question is where are you going to find this child?]

Yingying frowned: "Since you know that the child is not dead, don't you know where the child is now?"

【have no idea.】

The system sighed: [At present, I can only detect that the child is still alive, but I don’t know where she is.]

Yingying was not discouraged. Compared to the headless flies flying around before, at least she now has a goal and direction. "Then let's find her."

Not to mention the identity of Gu's legitimate daughter, Yingying is still the Crown Princess who hold power. The system exclaimed very contemptuous: [You? Crown Princess? Are you powerful or Qin Rong and powerful?]

"Is there any difference?" Yingying was very thick-skinned, "The third brother's thing is mine."

This was the case in my previous life. When I was not locked into the Golden Palace, Yingying often used the people under Qin Rong to rampage the imperial city, and it was common to smash and loot.

However, in the past, Yingying asked Qin Rong's people to make trouble with her, and this time she had something to do. Thinking that this time the matter involved her aunt and Emperor Wu Cheng, Yingying hesitated and asked, "Can I tell my third brother about this?"

If you just help your aunt find the child, Yingying would ask Qin Rong for help without hesitation. The trouble is that this matter is also related to Emperor Wucheng. It has been alive for two lifetimes, and Yingying still cannot see through Qin Rong's attitude towards his father.

If you want to respect and love, however, when you learned that Emperor Wucheng was killed by "Kong Wei", Qin Rong directly asked Gu Lingxiao to kill the person on the spot. With his temperament, he shouldn't have been so relaxed.

But if you have no feelings, when Emperor Wucheng was seriously ill and bedridden, Qin Rong went over to take care of him every day and was exhausted. Not only did he not take the opportunity to force the palace to take office, but he also ordered the killing of several useless imperial doctors.

Yingying herself did not have a deep relationship with Emperor Wucheng, especially after learning that he had harmed her aunt, she was now afraid of Qin Rong's feelings for his father, and was worried that he would find out that his aunt poisoned Emperor Wucheng and then attack her aunt in turn.

The system does not recommend that Yingying tell Qin Rong about this, but this matter is too important. Yingying has been under his nose. If Yingying is different from anything, he said that it is difficult to guarantee that Qin Rong will find the problem himself, and this will be even more difficult to deal with.

After Yingying figured it out, she left the bedroom and walked towards the study.

From afar, she saw several armored guards kneeling outside the room. It was cold outside, and even if the people were pale, they were kneeling and motionless. Yingying suddenly felt guilty when she saw them, and quickly passed by them and pushed open the door of the study.

"Three brother..."

Unfortunately, Yingying came. After she entered the house, she found that there were Qiu Yu and others in the house. They were around the table and seemed to be discussing something. When they heard the sound of pushing the door, they looked up together.

The smile on Yingying's face froze on her face. She stopped her steps entering the house. After reacting, she stuttered: "You are all here..."

"Then, I'll come over later."

Just as he was about to go out, the man blocked behind the desk was quiet and said, "Don't go out, just sit next to Yingying."

As the sound came out, the few people blocked the desk leaned to the side consciously. Soon, Qin Rong's handsome face appeared behind the desk. He supported his chin with his hands on the table, and his beautiful black eyes were looking at her gently.

"I'll finish it soon, I won't let you wait too long."

Yingying looked at the beauty couch by the window. Since she came to the study, there were always snacks and pastries on the table next to her. If it were in the past, Yingying would have sat by the side while eating, but when she got close, she changed her mind and sat at the small desk in the corner of the study.

This was specially made by Qin Rong to facilitate her calligraphy practice.

"You guys, I'll practice writing here, and I won't disturb you." Seeing that Dad Gu was not among these people, Yingying relaxed a lot, picked up her pen and said in a low voice.

Perhaps he was used to Qin Rong's indulgence in Yingying. The few of them quickly discussed what had happened just now. Yingying had no intention of listening, but when she heard the word "Zhao Shi", she couldn't help but raise her head. Qin Rong noticed that she looked back and Yingying quickly lowered her eyes.

Qiu Yu said: "Your Majesty intends to summon King Anping back at this time, and I feel that I have to be careful."

The other man snorted coldly: "Your Majesty hasn't decided to call King Anping back yet. The fifth prince and the eighth prince are ready to greet him. The second prince is so angry."

Since childhood, the fifth prince and the eighth prince have had a good relationship with Zhaoshi. After Zhaoshi fell in the previous life, the two of them quickly disappeared. The second prince is not a third party to the Qinrong Party and Zhaoshi Party. However, after Prince Qing's death, he had completely lost his power and could not get up.

Yingying listened secretly for a while, and then she realized that the Dragon Body of Emperor Wucheng has been in peace recently and has been ignoring the court for several days. Although the imperial doctor said nothing was wrong, Emperor Wucheng was sensitive and suspicious. Perhaps because he noticed the problem, he was afraid that Qin Rong would take the opportunity to take action, so he wanted to recall Zhaoshi who left, back to the imperial city, and wanted them to restrain each other.

In short, Zhao Shi has been away from the palace for more than half a year, and Yingying still remembers the letter Xiaodai brought to her.

When Yingying thought of this name, she felt a pain in her heart for no reason. She was in a daze with words written on the paper, and she didn't know when Qiu Yu and the others left.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" It was not until Qin Rong walked behind that Yingying found that there were only the two of them left in the room.

He hugged the person behind him, Qin Rong supported his arm to the desk in front of her, and a slightly cool hair fell on Yingying's cheek. Qin Rong lowered her head and looked at the table and smiled, "Let the third brother see if Yingying's words have grown."

Yingying looked on the paper with Qin Rong's eyes. When she saw the words written on the paper, she was so shocked that she couldn't hold the pen in her hand. At some point, she actually wrote the word "Zi Shi" on the paper!

"Third Brother..." Yingying was a little panicked, and reached out to cover the handwriting on the paper. She quickly turned around and looked at him.

However, Qin Rong had already seen the words on the paper clearly. His expression was lighter than the one between them. He brushed away Yingying's hand and looked at the two words on the paper. He asked lightly: "Did Yingying think of the time?"

Yingying shook her head, and she grabbed Qin Rong's hand and explained: "What I just wrote was not intentional."

Qin Rong let her grasp it, and the faint fragrance of elegant fragrance on his body was melting with the ink fragrance at close range, which smelled particularly good. At this time, it was this pleasant smell that completely wrapped Yingying. Yingying was embraced by Qin Rong and sat in her arms, and it was not right to leave. Qin Rong grabbed her right hand holding the brush.

"Relax." Feeling the stiffness in the arms, Qin Rong patted Yingying's hand to signal her to relax.

He has always hidden his emotions very well, so that Yingying could not understand his thoughts at all. He was like a puppet and wrote a few words by Qin Rong holding his hand. Soon the words "Zhao Shi" fell on the paper. Compared with the two words just now, the strength of the two words penetrated the back of the paper, and the brush strokes hid the tip. Yingying saw the murderous intention in these two words for no reason.
