Although she knew the two men's abilities, she also knew that Qi Guze would never lay a hand on A Qi. However, she was really worried that if A Qi got angry, she didn't know what he might do.

The third brother finally caught his breath and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Something has happened, but it's great news."

"I just went to inquire about the news and learned that the prince brought Ah Qi into the palace. Ah Qi has now been named the crown prince and is living in the East Palace."

This is indeed a great thing for ordinary people.

But Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but frown. How did Ah Qi suddenly become the Crown Prince?

Just as she was deep in thought, Qi Guze brought Aqi back.

When Ah Qi returned, he was a completely different person, dressed in fine silks and satins, making him look radiant.

"Oh my, they say clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse. Our Ah Qi, dressed in these fine clothes, really does have the air of a prince." Third Sister, who was upstairs, came downstairs immediately after hearing about this and saw Ah Qi coming in. She quickly teased him.

Ah Qi's face was full of shyness.

However, the eunuch beside him was the first to turn cold: "This is His Highness the Crown Prince. How can you persuade him to use the Crown Prince's name?"

Seeing this, Third Sister pursed her lips and said nothing more.

"Ah... since the Crown Prince has already moved into the Eastern Palace, why did he suddenly return to Tianxiang Tower?" Xu Yuehuai voiced her confusion.

She was conflicted. On one hand, she was happy that Ah Qi had found his biological parents, but on the other hand, she was worried that with his experience, he would still be bullied if he stayed in the palace.

Aqi didn't speak, but first cupped his hands to Xu Yuehuai and bowed deeply: "Thanks to Grandma's care these past few days, I was able to safely come to Chang'an City and return to my parents' side..."

"If it weren't for Grandma, there wouldn't be a Seven today."

He lowered his head, which conveniently concealed the unfathomable look in his eyes. When he raised his head again, he had already returned to normal.

Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai with an ambiguous expression in his eyes.

He hesitated, but then heard the eunuch beside Ah Qi speak up: "Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has seen the person and expressed his gratitude, we should return to the Eastern Palace. Otherwise, His Majesty will be worried."

“Okay,” Ah Qi replied.

Since this person was brought back by Qi Guze, he must escort him back.

The moment he stepped out of the Tianxiang Tower, he didn't forget to turn back and exchange a glance with Xu Yuehuai. Only after seeing her nod did he leave.

Once the others left, Tianxiang Tower returned to its previous silence.

Jiang Shichen and Jiang Qianqian deliberately waited until everyone had left before coming downstairs. Listening to the shop assistants' discussion, the two exchanged a glance.

When Zhou Wan saw them come down, she couldn't help but worry: "Why did you come down? You've helped so much, you should rest well. You have to go to school tomorrow."

"Will Ah Qi still come to school with us tomorrow?" Jiang Qianqian asked.

The three of them had been inseparable for so long, so it was natural to feel a little uneasy about losing one of them.

Zhou Wan glanced at Xu Yuehuai and quickly smiled, "He's the Crown Prince now, so he'll definitely be studying with his brothers and sisters. It'll also help them develop their relationship. If you want to see him in the future, you'll have to study hard. Once you pass the imperial examinations and are able to enter the court, you'll naturally be able to see him."

Her words were merely words of comfort.

Their social status has become vastly different, making it unlikely they will ever meet again.

"I bullied him so much before, and now that he's the Crown Prince, he won't have me arrested, will he?" Jiang Shichen couldn't help but ask, seeing the somber atmosphere in the hall, hoping to ease the tension.

Sure enough, a few of the men chuckled softly.

Seeing his serious expression, Xu Yuehuai thought he was really worried about this matter, so she quickly got up, patted his head, and laughed, "You and Aqi have lived together for so long, you must have a lot of dirt on him. If he really sends someone to arrest you, then you can use these dirt to threaten him."

Her words completely dispelled the awkward atmosphere from before.

Now that night has fallen and the houses outside have all closed their doors, the people at Tianxiang Tower naturally need to rest as well.

Xu Yuehuai tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.

After the clapper struck three times, she sensed someone climbing in through the window.

She instinctively tensed up, bracing herself for battle, but breathed a sigh of relief after smelling the familiar scent.

The person who arrived was Qi Guze.

"How did Ah Qi suddenly become the Crown Prince?" Xu Yuehuai's mind was still full of questions. She couldn't ask too many questions before, but now that she saw Qi Guze, she naturally had to ask him clearly.

Qi Guze explained the whole story in detail.

Suddenly, both of them fell silent.

Just as Xu Yuehuai finished processing the matter and was about to send the person away, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Grandma, are you there?

It was Jiang Shichen's voice coming from outside the door.

Xu Yuehuai suddenly panicked, pulled Qi Guze to the bed, covered him tightly with the blanket, and then lowered the curtain before calming herself down and opening the door.

She couldn't let anyone find out that she was in the same room with Qi Guze in the middle of the night.

She tried to calm herself down, but only became more nervous: "Why aren't you asleep yet? Are you feeling uneasy because there's suddenly no one around?"

"Grandma, are you hot? Why are you sweating so much?" Jiang Shichen immediately noticed her unusual behavior.

Xu Yuehuai laughed awkwardly twice: "No...no, I was just thinking about something."

"Grandma, you're not hiding someone in the house because you're afraid I'll find out, are you?" Jiang Shichen guessed right away, and then peeked out to take a closer look around the house.

These words immediately made Xu Yuehuai feel even more guilty.

She quickly pushed the person away and said seriously, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Don't you dare learn those improper things from the third and fourth brothers, or I'll tell your mother and see if she'll beat you with a board."

Jiang Shichen stuck out his tongue.

"Grandma, will Ah Qi never come back after he becomes the Crown Prince?" He still cared about Ah Qi in his heart.

Xu Yuehuai was also unsure about this.

However, Ah Qi is like family to them, and they probably feel the same way about Ah Qi.

She gently patted Jiang Shichen's head and said confidently, "He will come back. He definitely won't want to leave us."
