He said that he always felt that someone was following him these past two days. Later, there were a lot more people picking mushrooms in the woods. He originally thought that other people also wanted to have a taste of fresh mushrooms, but he didn't expect that it was all arranged by Lan Noling.

I guess she has collected everything and is just waiting for his final response. Lan Nuoling is still as cunning as ever.

Although Xu Tianze was not very satisfied with Lan Nuoling's behavior, he did not say much. He just got up and went to the small kitchen. After all, he had been a little greedy for the past few days, but he just didn't say it out loud.

Lan Nuoling originally thought that Xu Tianze would talk to her, but who knew that Xu Tianze went straight into the small kitchen, which surprised her a little, so she followed him into the small kitchen and waited for Xu Tianze to serve the meal.

"Since the empress is pregnant, she should stay in the palace to protect the fetus. Why would she come to the palace so easily?" Xu Tianze's hands were busy, but he also asked what he wanted to know.

"I have also asked His Majesty the same question as you." Lan Nuoling sat on a small stool in the kitchen and stretched lazily.

Anyway, the small kitchen has been cleared out, and their people are guarding outside, so no one will come to eavesdrop. For a moment, Lan Nuoling showed his true side.

"Your Majesty meant that originally we were planning to stay in the palace, but this summer was extremely hot, and coupled with our physical discomfort, we couldn't sleep well, so we wanted to escape the heat in the palace." Lan Nuoling said as he recalled the scene in the palace.

When she and A Yao learned that His Majesty was going to the temporary palace, they immediately went to the palace to persuade him. After all, if something really happened to the pregnant woman, the Minglan Kingdom, which had finally stabilized, might be in chaos.

But when they saw His Majesty's tired look, all the words in their mouths disappeared. After all, no matter how strong they were, they were all women and naturally understood how uncomfortable and tiring pregnancy was.

Even if she and A Yao assisted and took over most of the memorials, there was still a part that required His Majesty to make the decision personally, and they could not replace him in this part.

So His Majesty could only become increasingly haggard, which made her and A Yao feel distressed, so they gave up the idea of persuading him, thinking that as long as they added more guards and made more arrangements, there would be no problem.

"Oh? Is that all?" Xu Tianze paused, then probed as if chatting.

"What else could it be? Although Your Majesty is the Emperor, she is, after all, a playful girl." Lan Nuoling curled her lips.

This guy really has to think of conspiracy theories in everything he sees. I don't know what he is thinking about every day. Now the world is peaceful, but it is because we have come from a time of war. Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life?

"These mushrooms are indeed freshly picked. We'll have a chicken dinner with mushrooms soon." Xu Tianze covered the pot, wiped his hands, and sat on the small stool next to Lan Nuoling.

"By the way, shouldn't you find a man to marry?"

Lan Nuoling:······

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Lan Nuoling didn't think Xu Tianze was really boring despite talking about this and that. After all, the lessons learned in the past were all emerging before his eyes. Every time Xu Tianze chatted with him about random things.

Then he would indirectly reveal a lot of information. Although the questions asked were completely unrelated, Xu Tianze was able to sort out useful information.

"I just chatted with you for a while because I had nothing to do. Why do you act like I'm not a good person?" Xu Tianze was speechless and prepared to go out for a walk.

"Where are you going if you don't want to watch the food?" Lan Nuoling looked at Xu Tianze suspiciously.

"You can eat after the fire goes out naturally. I'll go out for a walk." After saying that, Xu Tianze let Xichen leave with an umbrella without waiting for Lan Nuoling to say anything else.

The rain is much lighter now, so it’s better to go out for a walk, otherwise when the rain gets heavier, you will have to stay in the room for a long time.

There were many people who had the same idea as Xu Tianze. Although the continuous rain dissipated the summer heat, it was still boring to keep it like this. Fortunately, the bedding was not damp, otherwise it would be really troublesome to deal with such a rainy day.

When Xu Tianze and Xichen walked into the pavilion and sat down, Xu Tianze looked at the people coming and going outside the pavilion with a smile, and was also thinking about the opportunity to take action.

"Master, did you find out anything?" Xichen straightened Xu Tianze's collar and waited for instructions.

Every time his master chatted like this, he would indeed string together some information and then get what he really wanted from the side. Xichen had gotten used to it.

But every time he watched it, he still found it incredible. His master had obviously taught him before, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only deduce some simple information and could not be as sure as his master.

"Let's not talk about how much I can come up with. Tell me your guess first." Xu Tianze smiled and patted Xichen's hand.

Xichen has always been very smart. He followed Long Muwang in battles and was influenced by him. So since Xichen was taught the method of speculation, he has been consciously practicing it.

Sometimes, the things Xichen figured out from the side also surprised him and made him feel suddenly enlightened.

Xichen nodded, not being timid. This was not the first or second time, and he accepted it well. "The Empress came to this palace to meet someone."

When Xu Tianze heard Xichen's affirmation, his eyes lit up. This was indeed true. After all, if you really feel the summer heat, just put a few more ice basins. The empress is the ruler of a country. Others may lack ice, but the empress definitely does not.

So the original reason was somewhat untenable, but Xu Tianze was still a little surprised, because he was sure that Xichen would guess that the empress came to the palace for another reason, but he probably couldn't guess that the empress came here to see someone.

"Not to mention that if it's really hot, you can add more ice basins, and the empress has the capital to do so. It's just that since the empress can become the ruler of a country, she won't really be arrogant and extravagant just because of the bitter summer." Receiving Xu Tianze's encouragement, Xichen continued to explain the reasons for his guess.

He and his master have been in Minglan Kingdom for some time. Being in the capital of Minglan Kingdom, Haojing, he can naturally guess the character of the monarch of Minglan Kingdom.

"Then why did Xichen conclude that he must be here to meet someone?" Xu Tianze's eyes were full of admiration as he motioned Xichen to sit down.

"Of course, even if it's His Majesty, the Imperial Palace is sometimes not as convenient as the Temporary Palace." Xichen didn't keep the secret and said it directly, "I just don't know who this person is going to meet."

Xu Tianze nodded, indicating that he agreed with Xichen's guess, but did not reveal the identity of this person.

Xichen didn't know the secret, so naturally he had no way of guessing who this person was, but he knew too well who the visitor was.
