"Fourth sister in law, don't worry. How could I suspect Mo'er?" Prince Huan repeatedly promised, and he seemed to be slightly helpless.

Qi Wangfei sighed and was about to say something when she saw Pei'er rushing towards them. She couldn't help but frown, "Why are you running so fast again?"

Pei'er panted heavily and recovered a little before hurriedly saying: "Young Master is back!"

Huan Wang said with a smile, "Fourth Sister, you should go first. Mo'er needs some rest after returning home." I'll sit down for a while, and then it won't be too late. "

Qi Wangfei pursed her lips, "Actually, with so many internal affairs, I am already very sorry to have sent you here on purpose. "Right now, I'm just waiting for news from Mo'er. I still …"

Duke Huan immediately cut her off with a smile, "Fourth sister, what are you saying? Even if Fourth Sister isn't in a hurry, I'm still terribly worried. Now that Mo'er had returned, he could finally relax. "Fourth Sister, please go quickly. I will wait here for a while."

Princess Qi hesitated for a while, but she couldn't bear to part with her son. She apologized again and then left in a hurry.

"How is it? "You feel like your fourth sister has some of her old style again, don't you?"

Prince Huan was about to drink the tea when he heard the sound and put it back. He stood up and said, "Fourth brother."

The Qi King nodded, "Sit, why are you being so courteous?"

Prince Huan waited for him to sit down before sitting back down. "Compared to his heroic years back then, Fourth Sister-in-Law is a completely different person."

The Qi King sighed in distress, "Finally, Mo'er is back. Otherwise, she would have turned into the woman who chased after me and ran across half of the palace with a sword."

Prince Huan pondered for a moment and could not help but say, "The terror is so great."

"That's why you have to be more careful when you take a wife," the Qi King said sincerely.

Duke Huan held it in for a while, but he still couldn't hold back his laughter, "Fourth Brother, don't worry. My Duke Mansion isn't even thirty percent the size of Fourth Brother's Duke's Mansion. Chase it for a while and it will be over."

Qi King was stunned, he could not help but laugh, "Why are you so happy?"

"Nine urged me to get married a few days ago," said Prince Huan. "Fourth Brother can help me delay my marriage for a few more years. How can I not be happy?"

Qi Wang smiled, "It's alright, I only got married when I was over thirty. You aren't even thirty yet, so there's no need to rush." If Ol'nine continues, I'll help you block it. "

Duke Huan said happily, "Then I'll have to thank Fourth Brother." He picked up his cup and drank a few mouthfuls of the cooling tea, then asked, "Fourth Brother, aren't you going to take a look?"

The Qi King was silent for a moment, then he smiled, "Mo'er is the best. He's not a child, do you think I need to worry so much? Just let his mother say a few words, and I'll just go along with a few more words.

Prince Huan said, "But Fourth Brother is no less worried than Fourth Sister."

The Qi King stared blankly at the painting on the wall for a while before replying, "She was afraid that Mo'er would be injured, afraid that he would remember the painful events of the past. But I'm not. I was afraid that he would regret doing something wrong. "

"Wrong thing?" Prince Huan's gaze changed slightly. "Fourth Brother has guessed it as well?"

Looking at him, the Qi King asked lightly, "That's not hard to guess, is it?"

The Qi King muttered, "That's right, this wasn't his fault in the first place."

"But Fourth Brother thinks he did the wrong thing." A trace of a sigh appeared in his eyes. "That's not wrong."

The Qi King looked at the teacup on the table and said, "Originally, water and tea were two completely unrelated things, but before you even noticed it, they had blended together. You don't like strong tea. Why do you still drink it? Water already …

"Because I'm thirsty."

Qi Wang nodded, "That's why all you need is water, not tea. But you need water, even water mixed with a taste you don't like. So you drank up the tea, leaving only this residue. "Compared to what you need and what you don't need before, the rest are things that you completely hate. They should be something that you hate even more, right?"

Seeing that Duke Huan still did not seem to understand, he added, "This is only a choice. Another option is to pour out the smell of hate along with the water you need. It may seem like you have eliminated this smell, but in reality, you will find that what is left is not the part of the body that you need, but rather the complete dregs, and your thirst. "

"The sensible thing to do is to drink it and temporarily relieve the thirst. When it comes to emotions, it's like pouring it out. " Prince Qi looked quietly at Prince Huan. "Which one of you think is wrong?"

Duke Huai shook his teacup, and said with a heavy voice: "Tea is hatred, water is BaoZheng's effect, then thirst …" Is this the Puppet Palace? "

The Qi King nodded in agreement, "Yes. If the Puppet Palace provoked them, the inner palace would act as a force that would clash head-on with the Puppet Palace. To allow the Puppet Palace to kill Bao Zheng at this time was undoubtedly cutting off their own arms. "Although it has been a moment of joy, it has made the urgency even more intense."

Duke Huai looked at the remaining half of the tea in the cup, turned his wrist, and poured the tea out, after which he showed the clean tea cup to the Qi King, "Pour out the dregs, and it won't look too hard."

The Qi King looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Are you thirsty?"

The Qi King could not help but scold, "You deserve a beating!"

Prince Huan sighed, "Fourth brother, I was just asking you a question. Why do you think Mo'er did something wrong? Back in the day, when the teacher was talking about this, I climbed over the wall and ran away. After I finished listening to your story, do you still need me to beat you up? "

The Qi King glanced at him and said, "You sure are calm then."

Duke Huan smiled and stopped joking, "Fourth brother, after hearing what you said, I also have some regrets."

The Qi King looked at him in surprise and nodded, "Tell me about it."

Huan Wang said, "If I were extremely thirsty, I would definitely find another bowl of tea to drink. I can pinch my nose to drink this kind of strong tea, but if I were to pour this bowl of old tea that has been brewing for ten years, I would definitely pour it out. Besides, when someone saw that I wasn't going to fall, someone came to help me dump it, and I would be so happy that I would dance with joy. that even if I don't drink it, I still have to look at it and lose my appetite. "

Seeing that the Qi King was about to speak, he quickly added, "It might be a pity for someone like Fourth Brother to like strong tea, but I'm happy!" He stood up, pretended to be deep in thought, walked a few steps, and said: "I think I'm still very young, strong tea is something only the elderly likes to drink. When I was twenty, I hated strong tea the most. I poured it every time I saw it, no matter how precious it was. To cherish a tea that he did not like … It's also something that the old people can do. " He then smiled and bowed, "I have something to take care of, so I will be leaving first. There is no need for Fourth Brother to send me off." The soles of his feet disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Qi King was stunned, and after a long while he forced a smile and shook his head, "What did you calm down for? "It hasn't changed at all."

"Mo'er, you … Injured? " Princess Qi came in quickly. She didn't bother to knock on the door and just walked in. As soon as she spoke, she saw that the room was in a mess. Zhao Qingyan was sitting on the bed with her fat pants rolled up. Her overly slender legs were wrapped in cloth, and there was a pile of bloody metal stents on the floor.

Zhao Qingyan was taken aback when she saw her mother barging in. She stretched out her hand to shake the thin blanket on her leg and sat up straighter. She bowed her head and greeted, "Mother."

Qi Wangfei lifted the quilt, "Let me see your injury."

Zhao Qingyan held her hand and said lightly, "I'm fine. It's just that my leg was injured because of the bumpy ride. "It doesn't hurt. Mother, you don't have to worry."

Being stopped by him, Princess Qi didn't insist on watching. She only grumbled, "You ran out without even saying goodbye. Why are you still so careless?" You don't feel any pain, but my heart is extremely pained. Twenty days, do you know how worried we are? "

Listening to her complaints, Zhao Qingyan smiled and nodded. He apologized, "Your son knows his wrongs. I was too anxious. I won't do it again."

"I never know how to make others worry." Her voice trembled as she quickly looked away. "You've been using this support for so long, isn't that inappropriate? Do you need a new one?"

Zhao Qingyan replied, "Not bad. Maybe my Qi is a bit chaotic lately, so I won't stop you using it." Tang Xiao Ai has already prepared a new one for me. It should be in the next couple of months. "

Qi Wangfei looked at the broken support frame on the ground in a daze and said in a low voice, "The mechanism is really a magical thing. It can be activated with the help of inner force. Mo'er, what does it feel like to walk with this thing? "

Zhao Qingyan smiled and said, "I don't feel much. As long as my Qi is stable, I can easily move around. It's about the same as my own legs. "Oh right, this time, the new support frame is especially good. If I can adapt well, many normal people's movements will be completed, and it won't be that easy to get rid of."

Princess Qi asked, "Really?"

Zhao Qingyan smiled with narrowed eyes, "Yeah, you've put in a lot of effort. Does mother know the Blood Silk of the Western Regions? Well, not poisoned, of course. It was connected to the joints with a 'silver thread' weaved with the 'silver thread' that the Puppet Palace was proud of. The original soft spot was also covered with the skin of a young deer, which was especially tough and soft after soaking in it. Unfortunately, it was only enough to make one set. There was no way to replace it, but it would be very durable. I've tried, and the inner strength feels so smooth, so much better than this one. With that I can walk more on my own and no longer have to sit in a wheelchair every day. "It's a pity he owes it to him again."

Looking at her son's happy smile, Princess Qi's heart softened. "That's great."

Zhao Qingyan blinked and then lowered his voice, "I saw that my great Jade Magnolia Tree had been dug out and replaced with a new one, and the stone slab has also been replaced with a new one. Does this mean Royal Father or Mother?"

Your royal father said that the tree was unlucky, and said he'd replaced it. I'm sure you don't want to leave this courtyard. Then change it to a more complete one, and change the bloodstained stone slabs as well. You have raised so many Yulan trees, and it was hard for you to get one when you were young.

Zhao Qingyan said with some regret, "It's a little nostalgic, but it doesn't matter. "However, I also buried a jar of wine underneath. Did it break or was it taken away by Father?"

Princess Qi pointed at his forehead and jokingly scolded, "You only know how to hide wine. You're still thinking about it at this time? Seriously. I'll keep it for you. When your father is not here in the afternoon, I'll get a servant to send it over to you, okay? "

Zhao Qingyan smiled and said, "I knew mother would be the best. Mother still loves me."

Qi Wangfei glared at him, "You have to promise not to yell."

Zhao Qingyan nodded his head repeatedly, "Of course, when I'm in good health, I will take a sip. If I'm not feeling well, I will definitely not drink it."

Qi Wangfei rolled her eyes at him: "Alright, you're tired after coming back, rest up. I'll go back first." I just need to let him know about your father, so you don't need to pay him a visit. "

Zhao Qingyan said, "Yes, I understand. Mom, take care."

Watching her leave, Zhao Qingyan stopped smiling. "Jin'er, clean up the rack and help me get a set of clothes. I want to enter the palace. "

Jin'er was taken aback. "Young Master wants to enter the palace now? Young Master has just come back, aren't you going to rest a bit longer? "

Zhao Qingyan shook his head, "No, I'm still worried. I'll go to the Qilin Pavilion to look up some things." If royal father comes, then just tell him that I have gone to the inner palace. "

Jin'er hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do we need to prepare young master's dinner?"

Zhao Qingyan said, "Boil some porridge. If I'm not back home later, you don't have to wait for me. Just light a candle. I'll go get you guys when I get back."

Jin'er said, "Alright, young master, you'd better come back early. Otherwise, if the prince and the princess find out, we'll have to say that we're not looking at young master anymore."

"Where's Mo'er?" Prince Huan walked into the room and was stunned when he saw that Zhao Qing was no longer there.

Jin'er said, "Young master went to the palace, saying that he wanted to go to the Qilin Pavilion to look up some things."

Duke Huan felt a headache coming on as he complained, "Isn't this speed a little too fast?"

Jin'er pursed her lips and asked with a smile, "Is there something that the young master can do for you?"

Prince Huan replied, "It's not anything important. We didn't make it in time for two days." How about this, I just happen to be going back to the inner house, and maybe I can even see him. "You should also say something so that he can have a good rest. Don't worry, Nine and I will be back in two days."

Jin'er nodded her head. "I'll remember it. Rest assured, your highness, I'll definitely deliver this message."
