Seeing clearly that Xiao Hanqi's eyes did not allow for any discussion, the hidden guards could only allow the guards at the entrance of the palace to pass.

Just as the group left the palace gate, Xiao Hanqi whispered a few words to the guards, causing them to pay close attention to their every move.

Tzu Ning Palace.

After hearing that the hidden guards had all left the palace in disguise, and that Xiao Hanqi's men were secretly watching them from behind, Xiao Qingqian and Wei Qing looked at each other.

Xiao Qingqian held Wei Qing's shoulders, and gently said. "After tonight, you and I will have to separate again. We miss you a lot!"

Wei Qing looked up at him, a light flickering in her eyes.

Xiao Qingqian bent over and kissed her on the forehead.

Wei Qing held his waist tightly, "Today's parting is for tomorrow's marriage and for the rest of my life."

If all goes well with Xiao Hanqi this time, then, there would only be one Long Xiaotian left.

Although she was afraid of bugs, and Gu worms might not succeed, she would definitely work hard to make herself stronger!

Xiao Qingqian saw that her eyes were glazed over, and he pinched her chin: "What are you thinking about?"

Wei Qing smiled at him, "Nothing much, just let me wait."

Xiao Qingqian nodded.

The two of them sat there quietly. Wei Qing wanted to keep herself awake, but after the drowsiness struck him, she finally breathed heavily and fell asleep after yawning several times.

It was already late in the morning when he woke up again.

She looked around and was stunned.

Xiao Qingqian was no longer there, she frowned, and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Hearing movement, Nanny Qiu entered the inner hall to report.

Not long afterwards, she supported the empress dowager out of the palace.

Wei Qing was about to kneel down, but the empress dowager stopped him.

"Ah Qian said that before he left, he wanted to remind you not to wake up so that you can sleep a little longer."

A huge wave of warmth surged in Wei Qing's heart as she blushed and smiled at the empress dowager.

"Everything will be as planned." The empress dowager looked deeply at Wei Qing. That look was filled with sincerity, but it was also filled with gratification.

Wei Qing nodded.

After eating, Wei Qing entered the secret room under the lead of the Nanny Qiu.

He had thought that it would be as dark and cold as the dark room. He hadn't thought that it would be as bright as day inside.

She blinked, "Is that a Night Pearl?"

Nanny Qiu nodded, "This secret room is quite large, it will definitely not affect Princess Chu."

Wei Qing was extremely clear who the words were referring to.

She really wanted to see what Tian Sisi had become now.

"Nanny Qiu, where is she being held?"

Nanny Qiu glanced at her before he stopped in front of a small pavilion.

Pulling open the secret compartment, he said to Wei Qing: "Princess Chu, here."

Wei Qing peeked out from the hidden compartment. She looked like she had fallen asleep, and was only a bit thinner than before.

She withdrew her gaze and the Nanny Qiu once again mounted the Dark Gras, luring Wei Qing forward.

"Princess Chu, for the time being, I have to make you suffer here. This old servant will bring in food every day on time. If you need anything, feel free to ask. Although we are staying here, we have all sorts of things like bathing. "

Wei Qing had always been carefree, and at this time of the year, it was already close to winter.

"I'm fine."

Nanny Qiu replied, "This place has a small trap."

Wei Qing looked at the location where Nanny Qiu pointed. It was a small button.

"What is this for?"

Nanny Qiu touched the small button, and a small box suddenly appeared, "If there's anything you need help with, write it on a piece of paper and place it inside the box."

"Such a high-level item?" A hint of joy emerged on Wei Qing's face.

"After this old servant has seen it, I will help Princess Chu prepare it."

Wei Qing nodded.

After the two talked for a while, Wei Qing walked over to Old Emperor's side and helped him check his pulse seriously.

Suddenly, he felt that there was nothing amiss with this meridian. However, if he were to examine it closely, he would be able to find that there was nothing amiss.

Nanny Qiu had been firmly locking that face of hers the entire time. He saw the space between her eyebrows sometimes widen and sometimes wrinkle, and his heart also rose and fell rapidly along with it.

"Nanny Qiu, His Majesty's situation is unclear. I can only temporarily find out that he was afflicted with a chronic poison that accumulated within his body. Only after the poison reaches a certain amount will he fall into a coma."

Hearing that, Nanny Qiu's face suddenly changed, "Is there no way to cure it?"

Wei Qing shook her head, "Rashly detoxifying the poison will only make the emperor's situation more critical."

Nanny Qiu nodded, "Then what does Princess Chu need now?"

Wei Qing stared at Old Emperor without blinking, "I'll try to give the emperor some antidote first, to see if I can force the poison into a certain part of his body."

Nanny Qiu pressed on the thing that Wei Qing read out to prepare.

Wei Qing took out a Hundred Poison Pill, pinched Old Emperor's chin and placed it into Old Emperor's mouth.

After waiting for a while, he pulled Old Emperor's wrist and seriously listened to his pulse.

The pulse was the same as before, without any changes.

Wei Qing recorded everything in detail, then she flipped through the medical books, trying to find symptoms similar to that of the Old Emperor.

Xiao Hanqi's state of mind was in turmoil until the secret guard returned and told him that the Magi had no contact with Xiao Qingqian and the others. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

"I have some private matters to take care of, so don't follow me anymore."

The guard was stunned. "Your Highness, the situation is not looking good, you …"

"Am I a piece of trash?" Xiao Hanqi raised his eyebrows and raised his voice.

The secret guard was shocked, "Your Highness, forgive me."

Xiao Hanqi gasped for breath, he looked at the hidden guard and gave him a sharp look, then walked away.

By the time Xiao Hanqi reached the vicinity of the cliff, the moon was already hollow.

In private, there was a patch of silver and the sound of owls chirping could be heard.

Xiao Hanqi was already impatient from waiting. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound of footsteps.

"The crown prince has arranged for this prince to come here late at night. What's the matter?" Long Xiaotian asked.

"Long Xiaotian, do you think I'm a fool?"

The voice was filled with anger as he glared at Xiao Hanqi, causing Long Xiaotian's eyebrows to furrow, "Xiao Hanqi, this prince is not your punching bag!"

Recently, the trouble he had created at the northern and East Mausoleum borders had been slowly solved. This already made him very unhappy, but now, Xiao Hanqi had actually riled up against him for no reason, naturally raising the anger in his heart to the maximum.

Xiao Hanqi's eyes were burning with anger, he grabbed onto his collar forcefully and accidentally touched his arm.

The arm was very thin, as if it could touch a bone.

As if being hibernated by a bee, Xiao Hanqi suddenly let go of his hand.

"You …"

Long Xiaotian squinted his eyes and rolled up his sleeves.

Even for a man like Xiao Hanqi, with his scarred arm, he still felt a chill in his heart.

"Who did this?"

Long Xiaotian let out a heavy snort, "Wei Qing!"

"Wei Qing?!" Xiao Hanqi's pupils contracted.
