At the end, An Qingran was terrified. "If her evil plan succeeds, not only will I be implicated, but I'm afraid even the Crown Prince will be criticized. The Queen Mother will naturally take the opportunity to advise the Emperor to place her relatives around the Crown Prince. As for what she wants to do, no one knows."
Honeysuckle was shocked: "Really, it's better not to hear these things, but Master, you are really amazing. You can find out the truth."
"It was the prince who found out." An Qingran said this, the corners of her mouth pulled up, revealing a happy smile. In her previous life, she was alone and helpless, with no one to trust. In this life, it feels good to have someone supporting her.
It's a feeling between security and happiness.
Seeing An Qingran's expression, Ren Dong smiled and didn't ask any more questions. She just knew that the Crown Princess was fine.
Dongfang Jin came back, looking exhausted. An Qingran went up to him and took off his outer coat, leaving him with only a white silk inner garment, which was light and flowing. He untied his hairband, and his long black hair cascaded down his shoulders, drawing a beautiful arc. An Qingran looked at him and smiled. Why didn't she realize in her previous life that he was actually more handsome than Dongfang Ye?
"What are you looking at?" Dongfang Jin came closer and looked at her lovingly, "Are you tired? Why don't you go to bed earlier?"
"Waiting for you." These three simple words made An Qingran, who was never very gentle, feel a little awkward.
Dongfang Jin, however, enjoyed it and showed joy on his face: "Qingqing..."
He called her name softly, and that voice seemed to have magic power, reaching An Qingran's heart, and her nose was sore. It was just three words, why should he be so happy? It turned out that she had been enjoying his favor all along, and he was satisfied with just a little feedback from her.
Dongfang Jin kissed her, his lips were very warm, and his movements were even gentler. The curtains were lowered, a light purple, creating a romantic atmosphere in the room. An Qingran hugged the happiness in her arms, her eyes slightly closed, just waiting for the joy that was to follow, but she didn't expect Dongfang Jin to stop at the critical moment. An Qingran opened her eyes with a hint of confusion, but Dongfang Jin lifted the bed curtain, walked down to the floor, put on his inner clothes, sat at the table, and picked up a book. His movements were very smooth, until he began to turn the pages of the book, An Qingran finally took a breath, her heart sank, was he tired of himself?
An Qingran pulled up the silk quilt. The silky feeling on her skin did not relieve her inner discomfort at all. However, she did not say anything, but closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
As I fell asleep, I really fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, Dongfang Jin was no longer by her side.
However, there were traces of him sleeping on the brocade pillow.
"The prince got up early and went to the morning court." Honeysuckle walked over with a basin of water and said with a smile, "Before leaving, the prince told me to let you sleep a little longer."
An Qingran said "oh" and sat up listlessly. The weather was very good today and not that hot. Looking out the window, there were a few white clouds floating slowly in the sky. An Qingran sat up and said, "Let's go swing."
Ren Dong was a little puzzled, but didn't say anything. After An Qingran had breakfast, she really started to swing in the yard. At some point, Ren Dong quietly stepped aside and used another pair of big hands to push her up: "Qingqing, you are so interested."
An Qingran didn't find anything unusual in his voice.
What does he mean?
An Qingran stopped, turned around, and looked him straight in the eye. Dongfang Jin's eyes were full of tenderness, without any sign of abnormality.
An Qingran was confused and felt that she was overthinking.
Suddenly she smiled, pulled up his sleeve and asked directly: "Did I do something wrong?"
"Why would Qingqing suddenly ask this question?"
"Answer me."
"No, Qingqing did a great job. No one is more sensible and decent than Qingqing."
"Then..." An Qingran's face turned red, and she was too embarrassed to ask.
Dongfang Jin suddenly understood something, smiled, held her in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Is it because of what happened last night?"
An Qingran nodded.
Dongfang Jin smiled even more proudly and gently, and hugged her even tighter: "Qingqing, I didn't expect that this is the first time you care about me so much."
An Qingran said nothing, but felt wronged. When he smiled, she felt a little embarrassed and her face flushed. When Dongfang Jin saw her embarrassment, he immediately hugged her and said gently: "Qingqing, last night, I remembered what you said. We are not in a hurry. I would rather not have an heir than let you take risks... Of course, I really had a hard time. If I hadn't taken a cold shower last night, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to make it."
An Qingran was shocked when she heard this, and then her nose felt sore. At this moment, she hoped more than ever that she could grow strong enough: "I will eat more at every meal in the future and try to grow faster, okay?"
"Okay, I hope Qingqing grows up tomorrow." Dongfang Jin smiled and hugged her tightly.
The two of them hugged each other, and Dongfang Jin sighed. After An Qingran heard it, she asked softly, "Is the emperor's health getting worse again?"
"Yes, early this morning, Father was coughing all the time and could hardly speak."
"I'm going to see the emperor." An Qingran thought and walked out.
"I'll go with you."
When the two of them arrived outside the bedroom, they heard Emperor Yunqi's heart-wrenching coughs. When An Qingran went in, the imperial doctors were all treating Emperor Yunqi.
An Qingran didn't say much. When Emperor Yunqi saw the two of them coming, he propped himself up and sat up, and sent everyone out.
"My health is getting worse day by day... Fortunately, the prince's health has improved, otherwise I would be worried if such a day came." Emperor Yunqi sighed, and then coughed again.
An Qingran thought for a moment and said, "Father... Queen Yun's birthday is coming soon. I want to invite people to hold a few grand sacrifices in the Imperial Temple. Please allow me to do so."
Dongfang Jin didn't expect An Qingran to say such a thing. He was so scared that his face turned pale. In the past six months, almost no one mentioned Queen Yun in front of the emperor. No one dared to do so, but she happened to mention it.
As expected, upon hearing this, Emperor Yunqi was so excited that he could hardly breathe and fell on the bed. Dongfang Jin immediately stepped forward, beating his chest and rubbing his back. Only then did Emperor Yunqi catch his breath. Dongfang Jin felt extremely distressed, but he could not bear to blame An Qingran, and sweat broke out on his forehead due to anxiety.
"Father, do you agree?"
But Emperor Yunqi had tears in his eyes, and he didn't know if they were from coughing. He just looked at An Qingran and said, "Child, you are the most thoughtful and caring. Remember the Queen's matter...Okay, good child, as long as you have the intention, how could I not allow it? Jin'er, help her with this matter. Also, sort out the things your mother used when she was alive... I will sort them out myself, and then pick some things to use for worship..."
Having said that, he actually wanted to go downstairs and tidy up things.
Dongfang Jin hurriedly stopped him.
An Qingran said, "Prince, let's go together with our father..."
Dongfang Jin was completely confused, but did not refuse An Qingran's face. Emperor Yunqi walked very steadily and quickly, but his steps were very steady. Even the palace servants could hardly keep up with his pace. Dongfang Jin and An Qingran followed him all the way to the courtyard where Queen Yun lived before. When the palace maids there saw the emperor, they immediately came out to greet him. The scenery in the courtyard remained the same. When Emperor Yunqi entered the courtyard, he slowed down his pace. He had not been here since Queen Yun left. Now everything has changed and the people have changed, and he could not help but feel sad.
An Qingran tugged at Dongfang Jin's sleeve, and the two of them retreated. When they reached the door, An Qingran looked at Dongfang Jin's puzzled expression and explained, "Father has been missing mother all the time, and he is worried and depressed. It's better to let it out."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure, but this is the only way at the moment. Medicine is ineffective now, so this is the only way. Are you blaming me?"
Dongfang Jin sighed: "Qingqing, thank you."
He tried very hard.
the next day.
Dongfang Jin came back from the morning court with a happy look on his face: "Qingqing, your plan worked. The imperial physician said today that father's health has improved today, and he is in good spirits. He can recover on his own without taking medicine. Qingqing, thank you."
"Why thank you again?"
An Qingran was also relieved when she said this. In fact, she was taking a risky move. She knew very well that Emperor Yunqi had been ill for a long time in his previous life because he missed Queen Yun. In this life, she thought of this method to release his grief, hoping to save him.
It seems to really work.
Dongfang Jin no longer thanked her, but just held her hand tightly and did not let go: "Qingqing..."
An Qingran pulled her hand away and turned away: "I still have things to do."
"where you go?"
"Go see Monkey." An Qingran said with a smile, "Now that the world is peaceful, I should improve my medical skills. There are too many people I need to protect."
Dongfang Jin followed behind her, and the two walked side by side, like a golden boy and a jade girl, which made those who watched them sigh in admiration.

Shouwang Mansion.
Dongfang Run came out of Prince Shou's room with a somewhat gloomy face, slightly furrowed brows, and a pair of black eyes that were covered with fog, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or sad in them.
He walked towards his study as usual, but stopped when passing the upper room, because a woman in a white dress was standing at the door, like a fairy, looking at him with a sad face.
"Wanyue, is there something wrong?" Dongfang Run couldn't help but be moved under that gaze.
"You called my name?" Lou Wanyue was extremely surprised. The melancholy she had just felt disappeared, and her cheeks flushed. She stepped forward and offered the tea in the cup. "Someone from my mother's family just sent some tea leaves. I made some tea and was just about to give it to you."
Dongfang Run came forward, picked up the teacup and sniffed it gently. His eyes lit up and he raised the cup and said, "The tea is good, and the soup is good too."
Lou Wanyue smiled and said, "The tea soup was filtered five times..."
Dongfang Run nodded slightly, as if he knew, but suddenly frowned and looked at Lou Wanyue. He felt that she was very special today, and could not help but step into the house. Lou Wanyue followed behind him in surprise, raised her hand and touched her cheek. An Qingran was really capable. She could actually make such a perfumed powder. I don’t know if she usually used this to seduce Dongfang Jin. However, his eyes dimmed immediately. He thought that since they were a loving couple, they should not need this.
Lou Wanyue lit the candle, and Dongfang Run sipped the tea carefully, as if it was the most beautiful tea in the world. After a while, he looked up and saw that Lou Wanyue under the candlelight seemed like a different person. She was very beautiful, as if there was a layer of veil and mist between them, which made people feel itchy in their hearts and they couldn't wait to lift up the veil and mist. Dongfang Run put down the teacup and walked towards her.
Lou Wanyue opened her pink lips slightly, looking at him in disbelief and expectation. Each of his steps was very light, but it seemed as if he was stepping on her body, making her breathless. Her body couldn't help but sway. Dongfang Run stretched out his arms and took her in his arms. When their eyes met, she closed her eyes in shame. Dongfang Run just felt a surge of excitement and couldn't help leaning over to kiss her lips. Lou Wanyue had never had a man close to her before, and this time her muscles and bones were weak, and she almost collapsed. Dongfang Run picked her up and walked to the bed. The two of them collapsed on the bed, and the heavy red curtains hung down, covering the beauty of the room...
The next day.
Lou Wanyue opened her eyes, looked at the person next to her, and smiled, but it pulled a painful spot and she couldn't help but hissed. Dongfang Run fluttered his long eyelashes and opened his eyes. Lou Wanyue hurriedly closed her eyes, but Dongfang Run saw everything about her. Dongfang Run frowned slightly, sat up, put on his clothes neatly and left. Lou Wanyue kept watching his movements until she heard the sound of the door slamming, then she slowly sat up, with deep sadness in her eyes. After all that had happened, was he still so indifferent?
The pain on her body still reminded her that everything that happened last night was real. Lou Wanyue pulled back the quilt and her face flushed. That brocade back was full of traces of (and lack of) love. She was finally his woman now. Perhaps the reason for his coldness was because he was not ready to face it all, just like herself, wasn't it the same?
Thinking of this, she heaved a sigh of relief and got up from the quilt: "Xiaohong, bring me some water, I want to take a bath..."
**********
Prince Ning's Mansion.
Qin Xiangning threw the medicine bowl in front of her and it hit the ground. The fragments and medicine splashed everywhere, scaring the little maids so much that they knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and trembled.
"Peach branch." Qin Xiangning raised her voice.
Taozhi walked in from outside: "Princess, calm down. These servants don't know how to serve you. Just teach them a lesson. Don't smash the medicine."
"Where have you been?" Qin Xiangning stared at Taozhi with a fierce look.
"Your servant...the prince..." Taozhi lowered her head.
Qin Xiangning stretched out her hand and twisted her face fiercely, leaving bruises all over. Taozhi screamed, but when she saw the look in her eyes, she stopped screaming and fell to her knees: "Princess, please forgive me. It's really the prince... I can't get rid of him. Princess, you know the prince's temper..."
Qin Xiangning was so angry that her face turned hideous. She picked up the Ruyi on the bedside table and smashed it on Taozhi's body and head. Taozhi failed to dodge in time and was hit on the forehead. Blood flowed down. The jade Ruyi was broken into two pieces. Qin Xiangning was still not satisfied and started beating her with her hands until she fell on the bed. She was too tired to lift her hands and gasped for breath, but still glared at Taozhi fiercely with a look that could kill people.
Taozhi just knelt there, suppressing her anger and not daring to cry out loud. Her hairpins fell off and her hair was in disarray, and she looked extremely miserable.
