"Many thanks for young lady's good intentions, but the emperor has long since ordered the Dragon's Nest to prohibit any imperial concubines from entering." He changed the subject and said, "The reason I came this time was to deliver medicine to Miss. Since it has already been delivered, I won't disturb you any further."

She turned around and looked at Fu'er, who seemed to have understood something. She then turned around and helped Fu'er to walk away.

Shen Zhi Qiao frowned and exchanged glances with Nan Yue. They were both baffled.

Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Shen Zhi Qiao walked into the hall and sat back down on the chair, "Nan Yue, it seems that there are still some good people in the palace."

Nan Yue was stunned. Worry flashed through her heart as she reached out to grab the box in her hand. She opened it and took the silver hairpin from her hair and inserted it into the box. She stirred it and took it out, but there was no sign of the silver needle turning black.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, and looked at Shen Zhiqiao, "Ah Zhi, in the future, do not casually accept gifts from others in the palace. If you must accept it, don't use it even if you want to bring it back.

Shen Zhiqiao watched as she performed a series of actions in a fluid manner, as if she was doing it frequently.

She twitched her mouth, "You're too nervous, Nan Yue. How could you hurt others that much?"

Moreover, she didn't intend to stay in the palace for long. The accident with Imperial Concubine Hua just now was only a matter of time. In short, she still had to leave.

As she pondered this, she suddenly thought of the Lan Xin Palace's hundred grains of dirt. Her eyes lit up as she grabbed onto Nan Yue's hand and said, "Nan Yue, come with me to the Lan Xin Palace. I need to find something."

Initially, Nan Yue was still annoyed by her nonchalant attitude, but now that she was anxiously being pulled along, she was slightly curious, "What are you looking for …"

As she was speaking, Nan Yue stopped abruptly. She pulled Shen Zhi Qiao, who was rushing outside, and knelt down. "Enter your majesty."

Your majesty?

Shen Zhiqiao looked up in surprise and saw a man in bright yellow clothes standing at the entrance of the hall. He had a tall and straight stature and was as perfect as jade.

His feet suddenly felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move even half a step.

Tuoba Yu smirked as he looked at Nan Yue. "Get up."

At his command, Nan Yue stood up. But because of his sudden appearance just now, he ignored it for a moment, and his legs felt a bit heavy due to being in a hurry …

The result was that his knee was in pain!

Therefore, her legs were trembling from the pain.

However, in Tuoba Rui's eyes, she was acting cowardly in front of the emperor's might.

His heart sank. This Nan Yue, she could only act arrogantly in front of him!

In the end, he still couldn't bear it any longer. He reached out his hand and pulled her over, whispering into her ear. "Why are you shaking? It's not like the emperor will eat you!"

Nan Yue began to smoke.

It wasn't because she was scared, but because her knees were hurting!

Shen Zhiqiao seemed a little embarrassed. It was good that they didn't meet, but when they did, she couldn't help but think of what he had done to her that day at the Warm Pool.

He bit his lips and lowered his big eyes.

Tuoba Yu instantly understood her appearance to be one of shyness. His beautiful red lips faintly curled upwards as he walked towards her.

Seeing this, Nan Yue pulled at Tuoba Rui's clothes.

Tuoba Rui pursed his lips and looked at her with a questioning gaze.

Nan Yue pointed outside the hall and whispered, "Don't you feel that standing here is very inconvenient?"

Tuoba Rui was slightly stunned. He looked at Emperor Huang to indicate his agreement.

It was rare for the two of them to come to an agreement. Tuoba Rui loosened the arc at the corner of his mouth and a warm smile appeared in his eyes as he pulled her out of the room.

As for the rest of the group, after they heard what Nan Yue said, they tactfully followed behind her.

Tuoba Yu was a martial arts practitioner and had a keen hearing. Nan Yue's words didn't escape his ears. Appreciation flashed across his charming phoenix eyes as he thought to himself, "The title of Rui Wang Fei was given to me back then wasn't bad."

With only the two of them left in the Dragon's Nest, Shen Zhiqiao's expression became tense. Facing him, he suddenly had the urge to escape. His face turned red and his heartbeat quickened, and these … Neither was a good omen.

However, Tuoba Yu only glanced at her indifferently before heading for the inner chamber.

Shen Zhi Qiao was stunned. After a moment, she let out a long sigh and sat back down on the chair.

His large eyes gazed outside the hall, his expression somewhat wooden. It was unknown as to what he was thinking.

After a long while, she suddenly shook her body and took a deep breath. She then picked up the teacup beside her and lightly sipped on it.

What was he doing in there all this time?

A nap?

Looking outside the hall, which was still shrouded in mist, he shook his head. It was too early for an afternoon nap.

Doubtful, he turned to look at the room, indicating that he didn't understand.

What the hell, it's best not to come out.

He withdrew his gaze, but in the blink of an eye, a streak of white flashed past his eyes. His eyelids jumped as he looked over.

With just a single glance, Shen Zhi Qiao's hand tightened around the cup. The amazement in his eyes couldn't be stopped.

He had lost his crown, and his black hair hung down in a teasing wind. His hair was gently parted, and his facial features were impeccable. His phoenix-like eyes sparkled, and they seemed to be filled with an unparalleled charm.

His body was no longer purely bright yellow and dignified; his white clothes were floating in the air like a fairy. The red collar of his neck, which was in the inner room, added to his monotonous white elegance. His muscular waist was wrapped in a jade belt embroidered with Polygonum Gold Orchids, and an eye-catching piece of translucent blood jade was quietly hanging down.

Shen Zhi Qiao swallowed her saliva. If she had not known his gender earlier, she might really have mistaken him for a girl. There was a hint of clarity in his beauty, and a hint of clarity in his clarity.

Tuoba Yu's beautiful red lips slightly curled up as he slowly walked to her side. Leaning over, he suddenly extended his hand and flicked her nose. He stood up straight and looked at her from above. "Stand up, help me pull back my hair."

As she spoke, she took her hand and led her into the hall.

Shen Zhiqiao quickly put down the cup in his hand and pulled him inside.

As he inserted his five fingers into her hair, Shen Zhiqiao couldn't help but sigh. His hair quality was at least a hundred times better than hers, and his hands were very smooth and comfortable to touch, causing him to be unable to let go.

"Have you touched enough?" Tuoba Yu looked at her through the mirror. His brows were slightly raised as he looked at her with a cold expression.

Shen Zhi Qiao was stunned for a moment before he started sweating.

Without any further delay, she held onto his long hair and skillfully tied it up, "Give me the jade crown on the table."

Tuoba Yu glanced at the white jade crown on the table, then picked it up and handed it to her.

Shen Zhi Qiao's delicate hands curved and turned. In the end, she stroked his hair, patting his hands. Looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction, she curled her lips, "Alright."

Her movements were very fluent, as if she was doing it a lot...

Tuoba Yu frowned and grabbed her arm, pulling her onto his back. He put one arm around her waist and the other around her jaw, forcing her to look at him.

Shen Zhi Qiao blinked, "Then who will be the one to do it?"

Tuoba Yu was slightly startled. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "I'll help you tie it up …"

As he spoke, he suddenly lifted his hand to remove the hairpin on her head. His long hair flowed down his fingertips like a waterfall.

Then he took her waist in both hands and turned her over, sitting between his legs while her hips landed on his feet.

Shen Zhi Qiao felt a little awkward. His face was slightly red as he said, "I just made it this morning …"
