Yan Qin'ao, who was hiding behind and watching the whole process: "...".

He didn't know why, but looking at the smiling Qingyun in front of him, he always felt panicked. In this cold deep winter, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Sensing the eyes outside the wall, he knew he could no longer hide. He raised his hand to cover his lips, coughed lightly, and walked out.

Bypassing Qingyun, he came to Murong Yao's side.

Murong Yao's eyes turned red when she saw Yan Qin'ao. It was like a wounded little beast seeing its owner and looking at him aggrievedly.

When Yan Qin'ao came to her side, she even threw herself into his arms. Yan Qin'ao was at a loss for a moment, and then he hugged her tightly, reached out and stroked the top of her hair, and comforted her softly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming."

Qingyun turned a blind eye to this scene and returned to the previous position. He reached out and pulled up Meng Zixuan, who was still frozen on the ground, turned to Yan Qin'ao and said, "I will take him away, you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, he was about to leave with Meng Zixuan, but was stopped by Yu Chuan.

At the same moment when Yu Chuan was blocking Qing Yun, Song Heqing drew his sword and faced Yu Chuan.

But Qingyun stopped, turned around and looked at Yan Qin'ao again, "What do you mean?".

Yan Qin'ao waved his hand, and Yu Chuan returned behind him.

He said helplessly: "Meng Zixuan can leave, and I don't care about her scheme against A Yao. But she must ensure that she can't tell anyone about my leg injury."

Meng Zixuan was stunned for a moment, as if she had just discovered that Yan Qin'ao walked out on her own, with surprise in her eyes.

"Since King Xian's legs are healed, why don't you dare to look at people?"

Yan Qin'ao narrowed his eyes and said, "I won't bother Miss Meng Er. I will go to the Queen's birthday party myself, so I will trouble Miss Meng Er to deliver the post today. Next time, don't go the wrong way."

Yan Qin'ao's deep eyes were dark and unclear, and his words were spoken with a smile, but they made people's hair stand on end.

Meng Zixuan's hand holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened, her knuckles turned white and trembled slightly.

"Little girl, I understand, I won't talk randomly."

Qingyun calmly listened to what he said, and once again pulled Meng Zixuan away. This time, no one stopped her.

Qingyun looked at Yan Siyuan speechlessly, who insisted on squeezing in even though she had a carriage, and said helplessly, "What are you doing? I want to send her back to Meng's house."

Yan Siyuan curled his lips and said, "I'll accompany you."

"I don't need your company."

"Then you stay with me, I need you to stay with me."

Qingyun pursed her lips, "But I don't have time to accompany you."

"Yes, you go there and I go there, just think of it as you accompanying me."

Qingyun had nothing to say and could only let Yan Siyuan follow.

Since the last severe disability, Yan Siyuan has become very clingy, as if he is afraid that he will be out of his sight for too long, and always feels that he will be in peace if he is always under his nose.

Qingyun understood his nervousness about regaining something, so she treated him as a transparent person.

Qingyun can do this, but Meng Zixuan cannot. Yan Qin'ao had just said that, and now seeing the two of them like this, the bitterness in my heart was beyond words.

"Is His Majesty the Ninth Prince telling the little girl about the wise king in order to get rid of the little girl and stop being entangled?"

It seemed that she had only now seen the development of the situation clearly.

Yan Siyuan nodded, "Yes, but the message I gave you is not wrong. If you really want to be the new queen, then Yan Qin'ao will be the best choice."

Meng Zixuan smiled bitterly, "But he already has a wife, and the daughter has already mentioned to her grandfather that she would not marry His Highness the Ninth Prince. Now she is entangled with the wise king. My grandfather is afraid that he will be angry."

"Then you can tell him that if you really want to take sides, go to Yan Qin'ao. He is the most likely to be the next monarch. He might help you."

Yan Siyuan's expression was indifferent, and his eyes had never been on Meng Zixuan. He just stared at Qingyun beside him with spring in his eyes. The words were spoken without emotion.

Meng Zixuan seemed to have never seen him like this, and smiled to herself, "Yes, she will help me. In his eyes, all the women in the Meng family are the same."

Qingyun frowned, "But isn't this also your idea?"

Meng Zixuan smiled, "No, that's what I thought in the past. I wanted to be the queen of the new emperor just to give myself some freedom, but now, the princess is not living a good life, is she?"

Qingyun didn't speak, she couldn't answer. She is not Shi Fenglan, so she cannot decide whether her life is good or not.

Meng Zixuan said again, "No one will feel good about having such a concubine who is loved by her husband. Although I plotted against her today, I still lost to the wise king's concern for her. Has the eldest princess noticed it long ago?" Understand my daughter’s thoughts?”

Qingyun didn't hide "yes".

Meng Zixuan smiled and said, "That's it. I understand my daughter's thoughts and I can still let her cling to me and take advantage of me. The eldest princess really trusts His Highness Ninth Highness. Fortunately, His Highness Ninth Highness has not betrayed your trust."

Meng Zixuan shifted her gaze and fell on Yan Siyuan, who had gentle eyebrows on the side. A trace of envy overflowed, and he finally sighed.

"That's all. Princess, can you promise me something?"

"Why should I agree to you?" Qingyun raised her eyebrows, expressing doubts about the person in front of her who clearly wanted to give up her ambitions.

"My daughter thinks that my daughter and the eldest princess can be considered friends."

"What's up?".

Meng Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I have a grudge against my eldest sister, and she will definitely not let me go, so I want to ask the eldest princess to protect me."

"So, you want to marry the new princess to protect yourself."

"Yes".

Qingyun stopped thinking and said directly: "It can't be done."

Meng Zixuan raised her eyes in surprise, not expecting Qingyun to refuse.

"Protecting you is basically standing on the opposite side of Meng Zirou. Whether it is more cost-effective to offend a queen or to offend a young lady from an aristocratic family, I can still decide on this deal.

And this is your Meng family’s own business, and I can’t get involved.”

Meng Zixuan gritted her teeth, "In this case, that court lady can only rely on her own ability to protect herself. I hope that the eldest princess will not regret what she said today."

Qingyun raised her eyebrows, she was threatening herself, "Miss Meng, you can do whatever you want. As long as you succeed, I may be happier than you."

"The eldest princess keeps her word," Meng Zixuan stared at Qingyun.

Qingyun raised her chin, showing no intention of backing down.

The carriage from the Prime Minister's Palace did not actually take Meng Zixuan to the Duke's Palace, but was handed over to the carriage that came to pick her up halfway. Meng Zixuan's face was ugly when she got on the carriage.

Two carriages passed each other, only Meng Zixuan changed from one carriage to another, and nothing else changed.

The carriage of the Prime Minister's Palace headed towards the unfinished Eldest Princess's Palace, which was also the former Third Princess's Palace. With the expansion on both sides, it is now very large, and Yan Siyuan has been sending people to build and renovate it.
