Ouyang Yunyao became friends with several young ladies from aristocratic families during the meal. After eating and drinking, they all returned home satisfied. Ouyang Yunyao took her two maids, Xiao Cui and Xia Fei, and took a detour to her hot pot restaurant on West Street, which was under renovation. The interior and exterior of the store had been renovated. The chef's craftsmanship seemed quite good, and the result was the same as she had imagined. The chef also carefully cleaned every corner of the store.

Stepping into the store, it gives people a sense of grandeur and warmth. Ouyang Yunyao seems to have returned to her previous world. The decoration is in Chinese modern style, which can be said to be unique in the current world.

"Princess, is this our store?" Xiao Cui couldn't believe her eyes.

"Princess, you are so good at planning, so amazing," Xia Fei agreed.

Wei Lei in the dark: Was this really designed by the princess? It’s so novel.

"Of course, my design is good, isn't it?" Ouyang Yunyao was a little proud.

"Princess, this is so beautiful."

"Send a few people to check if the pots and spoons are ready, and then buy some bowls and chopsticks. Then we can choose an auspicious day to open the store."

Ouyang Yunyao, who couldn't stay idle, turned around and went to Huicui's house. She came to Qiao Yidao's room and saw Qiao Yidao practicing walking with the crutches she had made for him.

"Princess Jing, look, I can walk! I can walk!" Seeing Ouyang Yunyao and others coming in, Qiao Yidao couldn't suppress his inner excitement and loudly shared this hard-earned joy with them.

"Master Qiao, you have to take your time. Don't rush. You still have to rest. I will give you another injection today."

"Thank you, Princess Jing." A grown man couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.

After she gave him acupuncture, she went to help give acupuncture to Xiaoyue who had lost her memory.

Cining Palace

The housekeeper, Madam Zeng, was also the empress dowager's confidant and had been with her since she was a child. While massaging her back, she reported to her about the situation in the palace over the past six months, including every detail and the recent strange events. The empress dowager seemed to be enjoying herself carefreely, but her heart was like a tide, very restless.

"Empress Dowager, it's strange to say, ever since Princess Jing fell into the water, she has become a different person, and she has even fallen out with Princess Ningyang. Princess Ningyang is also strange, I don't know what strange disease she has, it seems that she can't even walk because of the pain, but the doctors can't find out anything."

"Empress Dowager, Prince Yu was found to have hidden soldiers and run private mines. In order to protect Prince Yu, Concubine Shu took the blame herself and has now been banished to the cold palace by the Emperor."

"Your Majesty clearly knew that all of this was done by Prince Yu, and I don't understand why His Majesty let Concubine Shu take the blame for Prince Yu?"

"Chu Xiong is very smart! Prince Yu is his biological son after all, and Xue Yuqin is a sharp blade in the hands of the old fox Xue. He is just worried that he can't find an excuse to get rid of her. Isn't this just right? He can cut off the old fox's hand with good reason." The Queen Mother said slowly.

"Who discovered this?"

"It was Prince Jing who discovered it. Our people also found out that the Princess of Jing was also present at the time."

"Oh? It seems that this Princess Jing cannot be kept." The Queen Mother opened her half-bright and half-dark eyes, with a cold light in her eyes, and said with a sinister look on her face.

"Empress Dowager, there is another strange thing. The prince was rumored to be dying a few days ago, but somehow, his complexion is much better than before. The Eastern Palace seems to have kept this matter very secret, and I have not been able to find out the reason so far."

"Oh? There is such a thing? Why didn't I hear you send a message before?"

"Just a few days ago, after Prince Yu was confined to his room."

"It seems that it will be difficult to overthrow the prince with their help."

"My Queen Mother, what should we do now?"

"Let me think about it..." She was the champion of palace fighting. Although she had no feelings for the late emperor, she still sat on the throne of queen as she wished after the death of the late queen.

The late emperor's heart was as deep as the sea. He seemed to be good to her and her two sons. But things are unpredictable. He eventually appointed Chu Xiong as the crown prince and sent her two sons to fiefdoms thousands of miles away without any military power. She was really unwilling to accept this and kept feeling resentful about it.

She had been secretly planning with her son for years, waiting for the right time. Seeing that the prince was about to die, the two factions were fighting to the death...

Wei Nianzhen had never been so clumsy in all these years. It seemed that she had to take action herself. "We have to let them fight..." She whispered to Madam Zeng.

She also had a Phoenix Shadow Guard in her hand, which was a special shadow guard for protecting the queen. Usually, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother would pass this shadow guard to the queen, but she did not give it to the queen. The King of Chu did not care about it and equipped the queen with a new shadow guard.

Yu Palace Study

A man half-knelt in front of the desk and reported to the man who was standing beside the desk drawing, "Your Highness, Prince Jing and his men have arranged for the refugees to live in several manors."

Prince Yu, who was painting, remained silent. The sunlight from the window shone on him, making him look like a gentle and elegant scholar.

"It was arranged by the Crown Princess and Princess Jing, and there are..." Chen Ping continued to report.

"Ah."

"We have also arranged for our people in Nanjun Province."

"Has their food been delivered?"

"Your Majesty, not yet. I heard that he will leave the city tomorrow."

"Okay, keep an eye on me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Go down." The man retreated quickly.

At this time, Prince Yu continued to paint, and seemed to be talking to himself in the air, "Keep an eye on Prince Jing and Princess Jing, and take action when there is a chance."

"Also, wait until Chu Chenjing's food team sets out and find a chance to destroy it."

There was no response, but the air shook and everything seemed to be calm.

……

In the evening, Ouyang Yunyao returned to Yunqing Courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion. As soon as she entered the courtyard, Granny Li came forward and said, "Princess, the prince is waiting for you in the hall."

"Yeah, okay, I'll go."

Ouyang Yunyao walked into the hall and saw Chu Chenjing sitting at the table flipping through a book. All the books here were found by Ouyang Yunyao. They were official and unofficial history books about Yuzhou Continent and several countries on the continent.

"My Lord, what do you want from me?"

"Why, can't we look for the princess if nothing happens?"

Ouyang Yunyao rolled her eyes. What kind of illness was this? What was going on?

Then Chu Chenjing shook the book in his hand and asked, "Do you like reading these books?"

"It's okay. I have nothing to do, so I just watch it for fun."

"I have a lot of books in my study. You can find whatever you want to read."

Ouyang Yunyao: Isn't his precious study off limits? What's going on? "My Lord, do you have any books on practicing Qinggong?" Ouyang Yunyao seized the opportunity and asked sincerely with her big, watery eyes.

After hearing her question, Chu Chenjing didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ouyang Yunyao thought to herself: Could it be that this book is a secret book that cannot be passed on to others?
