The two aunts of the Yan family had no idea what had just happened in the garden, nor did they know about Shen Ziyu's hidden illness.

Seeing that this cold-faced regent took the initiative to give his own Ning'er away, he was naturally overjoyed.

Old Madam Yan also believed in Shen Ziyu's character. He took the initiative to offer to send Ning'er back to the Qin family, probably because he had something to tell her.

Several elders had spoken, and Qin Yanning did not hesitate. After all, Shen Ziyu was her fiancé now, and riding in his carriage home was no big deal.

Qin Yanning thanked Shen Ziyu with a smile and walked to Shen Ziyu's carriage.

Shen Ziyu stretched out his hand and placed it flat so that Qin Yanning could help him get into the carriage.

Qin Yanning was a little surprised at Shen Ziyu's attentiveness, but he didn't show it on his face.

[So happy! Shen Ziyu offered to send me off!]

After hearing Qin Yanning's inner thoughts, Shen Ziyu thought to himself that his future wife was easy to satisfy.

After getting on the carriage, Shen Ziyu waited until Qin Yanning had greeted everyone in the Yan family before he ordered the coachman to drive.

Only then did Qin Yanning have time to carefully look at Shen Ziyu's rather luxurious carriage. Shen Ziyu's carriage was even bigger than the Yan family's, but the things inside were all brand new.

Shen Ziyu noticed Qin Yanning's gaze and took the initiative to explain to her, "I usually ride a horse, and I came to the palace on horseback today as well."

"The carriage is prepared in case someone gets drunk at the palace banquet tonight."

Qin Yanning noticed in the evening that the emperor and the princes frequently toasted him, and he had indeed drunk a lot of wine.

But his expression was normal now, and it was hard to tell whether he was drunk or not.

"Is the prince drunk?" Qin Yanning reached out and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Ziyu.

Shen Ziyu took the teacup but didn't drink from it. He just stared at Qin Yanning, "Ning'er, do you think I'm drunk?"

Qin Yanning shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

【Why ride in a carriage if you're not drunk?】

Qin Yanning complained, but it made Shen Ziyu laugh.

Qin Yanning ignored him, took out the oil-paper bag from his sleeve, took out a candied fruit from it and started eating.

Seeing that her mouth was stuffed with candied fruit and her face was chubby, Shen Ziyu couldn't help but reach out and poke her cheek.

"Is it delicious?" Shen Ziyu asked.

Qin Yanning nodded.

【I made this myself, how could it not be delicious? 】

When Shen Ziyu heard Qin Yanning say that she made this herself, his expression changed slightly. Could it be that Qin Yanning made this candied fruit specially to please him?

After all, everyone in the court knew that he had no hobbies in his life, but he loved eating sweets.

Outsiders think that although he has a cold face, he is not a god after all and still has some hobbies.

But no one knew that he cherished that hint of sweetness so much because he was poisoned when he was young and drank too much medicinal soup every day.

Shen Ziyu was not wrong in his guess. Knowing his preferences, Qin Yanning specially pickled a jar of candied fruit and added detoxification pill powder into it.

She doesn't know any medical skills, so she naturally can't take this thing out and stuff it into Shen Ziyu's mouth openly, right?

By then, the poison in Shen Ziyu's body might be cured, but she would be arrested and tortured.

Therefore, she could only add the medicine to the candied fruit and find an opportunity to let Shen Ziyu eat it.

But even if he doesn't take the bait this time, Qin Yanning is not in a hurry. After all, after they get married, she will have plenty of opportunities to make Shen Ziyu take the detoxification pill.

Anyway, she bought ten, so it’s no big deal if she wastes one.

After all, she didn't want Shen Ziyu to link this matter to her. He was a suspicious person. She was afraid that he would hear her inner voice by then, and she would have to work hard to make him stop suspecting her.

But adding the medicine to the candied fruit is different. She only mixed one third of it into the one she brought today. If Shen Ziyu took the bait, she would give him the rest next time.

The effect of the detoxification pills was gradual, so Shen Ziyu naturally couldn't guess that his improvement was due to his own efforts.

Thinking of this, Qin Yanning glanced at Shen Ziyu secretly. Seeing that Shen Ziyu was not interested, she could only show off her acting skills in front of him.

How could he not be curious? Could it be that the information Lan Yue had heard was false?

[Shen Ziyu actually doesn't like candied fruit? ]

[Wow, then didn’t I pickle so much for nothing? ]

[It's a huge loss, a huge loss. He won't think I'm naive, will he?]

…

Shen Ziyu was already a little tipsy, and after hearing Qin Yanning's messy thoughts, he felt even more dizzy.

As if possessed by a ghost, he reached out and took a candied fruit from the oil-paper bag in Qin Yanning's hand and put it in his mouth.

The outside of the candied fruit is sticky because it is coated with syrup, but the inside has a slightly sour taste and tastes quite good.

Seeing Shen Ziyu eating, Qin Yanning's eyes lit up and he looked at him like a little animal waiting for praise.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Shen Ziyu narrowed his eyes and nodded. Qin Yanning had already wrapped the oil paper bag and stuffed it into his hand.

"This is what I made myself. If Your Highness likes it, I will give it to you. I will bring it back to you next time."

Looking at Qin Yanning's expectant eyes, Shen Ziyu couldn't say no.

Anyway, she is his fiancée, so it’s no big deal for him to accept her gifts.

But he suddenly felt a little nervous. If she knew that she was poisoned after they got married, would their relationship still be the same as it is today?

Shen Ziyu's heart, which had originally wanted to give up on detoxification, became active again.

Just for the sake of the cute little girl in front of him and his mother who shed tears every day, he decided to try again.

I heard from his subordinate Chang Yin that the witch doctors in the Western Regions are good at detoxification. Maybe they really have a way?

Thinking of this, Shen Ziyu couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Qin's residence. Shen Ziyu got off first and helped Qin Yanning get off the carriage.

Lan Yue stood at the door of Qin's house, waiting anxiously. When she saw Qin Yanning coming back, she hurried to greet him.

Qin Yanning knew that Lan Yue must have something to tell her, so she thanked Shen Ziyu and took Lan Yue back home.

Since they had already arrived at the gate of Qin's mansion, Shen Ziyu did not linger. After watching Qin Yanning walk into the gate, he ordered the coachman to return to the palace.

Seeing Shen Ziyu leave, Lan Yue whispered, "Miss, the master and the mistress told you to go to the main hall when you return."

"I see that Madam is not in a good mood. You should be careful. The Master has always favored Madam and the Second Miss. It is inevitable that she will stir up trouble."

Qin Yanning sneered when he heard Lan Yue say this, "Dad's heart is crooked. He wouldn't be on my side if Zhou Xue hadn't instigated him."

"Don't worry, His Majesty has already granted your young lady a marriage with the Prince Regent. They won't dare to do anything."

When Lan Yue heard Qin Yanning calling Madam by her name, she looked around vigilantly, fearing that someone might hear it and report to Madam that the young lady was being disrespectful to her.

She realized belatedly what her young lady had just said.

Has His Majesty already granted her marriage to the Regent?
