Because the Sultan was ill, the two children were temporarily taken care of by a wet nurse next door.
Qu Cheng'an came to accompany Su Danruo as soon as he got out of court.
The relationship between the two seemed to be really reconciled, but Qu Cheng'an always felt uneasy, as if all these were as fragile as mirages and would disappear and shatter at the slightest touch.
Only when he was with Sudan Ruo would he feel a little more at ease.
Qi Xinyuan soon learned from Qu Xiaotan that Su Danruo was ill.
But he couldn't enter the harem openly.
It is even more impossible to get in at night. Qu Cheng'an now stays in the Sultan's Palace every night.
The only time Qu Cheng'an could see Sultan Ruo was when he went to the morning court.
Qi Xinyuan asked for leave from the morning court on the pretext of being sick.
Sultan Ruo's bedroom was filled with palace maids, not even a eunuch. Qi Xinyuan had no choice but to disguise himself as a palace maid and sneak in.
Fortunately, Qi Xinyuan looked a bit feminine, so no one questioned her dressing up as a palace maid.
Except that she is a little taller than other palace maids, she is basically the same as other palace maids.
However, it is easy for Qi Xinyuan to get in alone, but it is difficult to get out.
So Qi Xinyuan found Qu Xiaotan,
"What did you say? You want me to bring you into the Imperial Sister-in-law's palace?! Are you crazy? Find someone else for this matter! I can't help you."
Qi Xinyuan knew that Qu Xiaotan would not agree so easily, so he prepared gifts early.
"I heard that Princess Xiaotan loves to collect folk storybooks. I found a new book, which is said to be a rare copy."
As he spoke, he took out the book hidden in his arms, held it in his hand, and shook it in Qu Xiaotan's hand.
Qu Xiaotan's eyes lit up when she saw the title of the book on the cover in Qi Xinyuan's hand.
"It's the only copy of Fangfang's new book! Is it for me?"
As she spoke, Qu Xiaotan was about to step forward and take the book from Qi Xinyuan's hand.
Qi Xinyuan raised his hand high, and Qu Xiaotan missed it instantly.
"If I give this book to Your Highness, will Your Highness take me into Miss Su's palace?"
Qu Xiaotan hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist the temptation of the new book and agreed to Qi Xinyuan's conditions.
Under her guidance, Qi Xinyuan successfully entered Sultan Ruo's bedroom.
Sultan was a little surprised to see Qu Xiaotan coming to see him, and then he saw Qi Xinyuan dressed as a palace maid behind her.
Qu Xiaotan left the space for the two of them, and she stood at the door to help Qi Xin keep watch.
"You guys try to be quick, I'm risking getting my head chopped off!"
Qi Xinyuan felt distressed when he saw Sudan Ruo's weak appearance.
"Ruoruo, you must have suffered a lot of grievances in the palace! Qu Cheng'an, that useless guy, couldn't take care of you at all, and yet he insisted on keeping you by his side. He's so selfish."
Su Danruo gave Qi Xinyuan a reassuring look.
"I'm fine. Living under someone else's roof and being treated like this is pretty good."
Qi Xinyuan asked with concern:
"I heard that you and Qu Cheng'an reconciled? Did he force you?"
Su Danruo shook his head, glanced at Qu Xiaotan quietly, and then said in a low voice:
"I did this on purpose. I can't leave now anyway. The best way to survive in this palace is to capture Qu Cheng'an.
If it was just me, it would be fine, but I have a child, and I can’t let him suffer because of me no matter what.”
Qi Xinyuan also lowered his voice and asked:
"Do you want to leave the palace now? The world is vast outside. If you want to leave, I will definitely help you!"
Sultan Ruo tentatively asked, "If I leave, will you go with me?"
Qi Xinyuan was silent. He also wanted to leave with Su Danruo, but he couldn't leave.
His blood feud has not yet been avenged, not to mention that his mother is still in the imperial city.
His mother's mental state is getting worse and worse.
I asked a doctor to see me and he said it was a heart disease caused by excessive worry and I was afraid I wouldn’t live long.
Qi Xinyuan did not tell Sudanruo about this. It was not easy for her to be alone in the palace, and he did not want to make Sudanruo worry about her family affairs anymore.
If Sudan saw Qi Xinyuan's silence, he knew that he would not leave easily.
Qi Xinyuan's thoughts are no longer revealed as easily as before.
However, Sudan still guessed that Qi Xinyuan must want to stay and take revenge on Qu Cheng'an.
Since she cannot take revenge herself, she naturally has no right to stop others from taking revenge.
But she really hoped that Qi Xinyuan could let go of all the hatred and leave with her.
If Qi Xinyuan stayed here, his final outcome would definitely not be good.
Sudanruo took Qi Xinyuan's hand and said softly:
"Xinyuan, I want to leave, and I hope you can leave with me.
Can you please just put aside all the hatred for my sake and let us go find a paradise where no one knows us and live together?"
Qi Xinyuan pushed Su Danruo's hand away from his own.
"How can I let go of the hatred for my father's murder and the destruction of my country? You don't have to persuade me. If you decide when to leave, let me know in advance and I will arrange everything.
Once you leave the palace, don't come back."
If Sudan lowered her eyes, if Qi Xinyuan didn't leave, how could she leave with peace of mind knowing that Qi Xinyuan's final outcome would be death?
Just then Qu Xiaotan ran over.
"Are you guys done talking? It seems someone is coming outside. Sir Qi, please leave with me!"
Qi Xinyuan looked at Sudanruo deeply, and Sudanruo looked back at him.
Qi Xinyuan was dragged away by Qu Xiaotan.
Qi Xinyuan was arranged by Qu Xiaotan to walk at the back.
As soon as the two walked out of the room, they ran into Qu Cheng'an.
Qu Cheng'an was in a hurry to go into the house to check on Sudan Ruo, and did not notice that a strange face had mixed in with the palace maids behind Qu Xiaotan.
Qi Xinyuan glanced at Qu Chengan secretly, his eyes full of hatred.
After Qu Cheng'an entered the house, Qu Xiaotan quickly took her people back to her palace.
"Master Qi, please change into your own clothes and leave! It would be bad if someone found you!"
Qi Xinyuan suppressed his emotions and changed his clothes without saying a word.
"Thank you for your help today, Your Highness. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to come find me. I will be leaving now."
After saying this, he turned and left without waiting for Qu Xiaotan to reply.
Qu Xiaotan looked at Qi Xinyuan's back in a daze, then suddenly thought of the book she had just received, and went back to her room happily to read.
Sultan Ruo also calmed down when he saw Qu Cheng'an coming in.
Smiling, she watched Qu Chengan walk towards her.
"Your Majesty, you are back. Did everything go well in the court today?"
Ever since Sultan Ruo decided to find an opportunity to escape, he has been paying close attention to what is happening in the court every day.
Qu Cheng'an wished the Sultan could talk to him more, so he answered whatever the Sultan asked, and sometimes even said more.
But when talking to Sudan, he always picked out the unimportant things to talk about.
