The willow leaves are slowly

"Young Master, someone is coming from the palace. They are in the front hall." A Cheng said softly outside Ye Hansheng's door.

"Okay!" Ye Hansheng put down the file in his hand and went to the front hall.

"Ye Hansheng accepts the order!" came the high-pitched voice of the eunuch delivering the order.

"I accept your order," Ye Hansheng saluted.

"Pass on His Majesty's oral order, and Ye Hansheng, the head of Xuanying Pavilion, will come to the palace to see Him."

"Mr. Ye, please stand up. The carriage is waiting outside the pavilion." The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict said flatteringly.

"Is Ayin awake?" Ye asked coldly.

"I'm up. I just had breakfast. Miss Liu has a good appetite." A Cheng replied.

Ye Hansheng raised the corners of his lips, "Ask her to come along."

Ah Cheng replied yes.

Ye Hansheng leaned against the carriage and waited.

"Shengsheng, have you had breakfast?" Liu Qingyin waved her arms in high spirits, "The buns this morning were so delicious!"

She skipped to Ye Hansheng's side.

Ye Hansheng smiled and said: "There is also a chef in the pavilion, and his cooking skills are very good."

"I see. When I have time, I will go and learn from him. Let's go." Liu Qingyin wanted to get on the carriage.

"Wait a little longer." Ye Hansheng said.

At the same time, a voice came: "Stay!"

"Young Master, Young Master, please slow down." Ah Yan shouted breathlessly.

I saw a colorful bird flying out from the pavilion, "Ayin's second antidote!" Liuyun panted and handed Liu Qingyin a medicine bottle.

Liu Qingyin took the medicine bottle and said, "Thank you, Brother Liuyun."

"I asked Acheng to get it, but you insisted on delivering it yourself." Ye Hansheng said.

"I still need to check on little Ayin's condition." Liuyun reached out to feel Liu Qingyin's pulse.

"I can take a look too. If there's anything unusual, I'll tell you." Ye Hansheng said.

"Haha!" Liuyun rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "I'm worried about you treating my sister with your skills."

Ye Hansheng glanced at Liuyun!

"The antidote must be taken at noon, not too early, nor too late."

"Yes! Thank you, Brother Liuyun. Don't worry, I will follow the doctor's advice!"

"I've already told you, we're family, no need to be so polite!"

The eunuch who was reading the imperial decree beside him smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, please don't be late. His Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study."

"Can we go now? Brother Liuyun! The imperial decree summons me to the palace." Ye Hansheng smiled wryly.

Liuyun raised her eyebrows, waved her red sleeves, and turned around gracefully, "For the sake of my adopted sister, I'll spare you!"

Ye Hansheng looked at him with disdain and said, "Why do you dress like you're getting married every day?"

"I'm happy to do it! Ayan, let's go!" Liuyun made a big face at Ye Hansheng. Ayan saluted Ye Hansheng and pushed Liuyun away.

When they arrived at the palace and the imperial study, Huang Zhongquan bowed and stood in front of the door to greet Ye Hansheng.

"Acheng, take Ayin over there and wait."

"Yes, son."

"Ayin, don't run around. If you need anything, you can ask Eunuch Huang to come find me."

Huang Zhongquan and Liu Qingyin's eyes met, Huang Zhongquan smiled and nodded: "Miss Liu, if you have anything, you can come to me."

Liu Qingyin also smiled and nodded in response: "Thank you, Eunuch Huang."

"Then Acheng and I will go over there and wait for you." Liu Qingyin smiled brightly.

Ye Hansheng nodded.

"Come on, Acheng, I found a good place last time, let's go, I'll take you there."

"Okay." A Cheng followed closely.

Liu Qingyin came to the big banyan tree not far from the imperial study. "The weather is getting colder, and this tree is bald. The last time I came here, it was not so bald."

“Next spring, it will come back to life.”

Liu Qingyin turned around: "Master Mo Chen! What a coincidence!"

"Unfortunately, I guess that if Ayin entered the palace, she would definitely come here, so I will wait here." Mo Chen was still humble and polite.

"Mr. Mo Chen, do you have something to talk to me about?" Liu Qingyin asked.

"Miss Liu, the master has repeatedly reminded you to stay away from Mo Chen." Ashen pulled Liu Qingyin's sleeve and whispered.

"How can you pull and tug in the palace in broad daylight?" a sharp voice came.

"Jingyi, don't be so angry." A graceful, exquisite and gorgeous woman next to her said softly.

Ah Cheng immediately knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to Princess Anhe, and Princess Jingyi!"

"Princess An He?! A die-hard fan who has admired Ye Hansheng for many years?" Liu Qingyin thought, "I have to see what she looks like!"

Liu Qingyin looked up and saw Ah Cheng saluting, so she knelt down and saluted as well.

"Alas, feudal society really hurts the knees, with all kinds of kneeling!" Liu Qingyin was full of resentment.

"Brother Acheng, get up quickly!" The delicate woman in front of him came forward to support him.

Ah Cheng dodged violently and kowtowed even more deeply, "Princess, please forgive me. How can I be worthy of being called your brother?"

"Why are you being so polite to a servant, cousin? They are arguing with each other in broad daylight. It's not proper."

"Jingyi, don't say that!" An He looked at Jingyi with a frown, anger visible to the naked eye.

Jingyi curled her lips, pointed at Liu Qingyin and said, "How dare you look directly at the princess!"

"The princess is so beautiful, so charming, and she looks like a fairy. I can't help but be fascinated by her." Liu Qingyin said.

"Are you the vixen that Brother Asheng brought back?" Jingyi asked unhappily.

"Miss Liu is a non-staff member of the Shadow Pavilion, assisting the young master in handling cases. In the recent human pig case, Miss Liu made an indispensable contribution. Princess, please don't make up any unfounded stories." A Cheng said firmly with his head down.

"Did the princess ask you?" Jingyi asked in a domineering tone.

"Jingyi, don't be like this!" Anhe said unhappily.

An He turned around and said gently, "Get up quickly!"

The three of them stood up. Jingyi pointed at Liu Qingyin and said bossily, "Did I ask you to stand up?"

"This idiot is obviously here to cause trouble!" Liu Qingyin thought.

Liu Qingyin patted the dirt off her hands, stood up and said, "If someone didn't know this, they would think you were a princess."

"You... arrogant!"

"Princess Jingyi, right? Princess Anhe told us to get up. Are you planning to go against the princess' wishes?"

Jingyi was furious and was about to slap Liu Qingyin. Liu Qingyin grabbed her wrist and said, "Are you sure you want to do this in front of the imperial study? You first intentionally disobeyed the princess, then made a scene in the palace, and then defied the imperial power. How many heads can the princess have?"

"Jingyi, don't act rashly." Anhe separated their hands.

"Girl, Jingyi is straightforward and didn't mean to offend you," An He said.

"Cousin, this vixen seduced Brother Asheng, and you still help her!" Jingyi pointed at Liu Qingyin and said resentfully.

"Why are you so excited? Are you attracted to Ye Hansheng?" Liu Qingyin teased.

"I...I didn't! I was just standing up for my cousin!" Shizune's face turned red.

"The princess didn't say anything, why are you so impatient? Don't say there's nothing between him and me. Even if there is, we're not married yet, and we both agreed. It's none of your business!"

"You shameless vixen!"

"Princess, please be careful with your words!" Mo Chen's face was as cold as ice and he said in a cold voice.

Liu Qingyin raised the corners of her lips, stopped Mo Chen, and said to Jingyi: "Thank you for the compliment, Princess. I, the vixen girl, deserves it."

"She is really fickle and unfaithful to her husband!" Jingyi was furious, "She has ambiguous relationships with these men."

Asheng frowned and raised his head. He looked annoyed. He looked at Jingyi and then at Anhe.

"Jingyi, if you continue to make trouble, I will punish you! An He frowned and said.

"Cousin!" Jingyi shook Anhe's sleeve.

"Jingyi is young and doesn't understand things. I hope you won't take it personally!" An He explained patiently.

Liu Qingyin looked at An He and smiled, "Don't worry, Princess. I'm not angry."

"You...!" Jingyi looked like she wanted to fight another round.

Ah Cheng, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "If the princess continues to make trouble, I will have no choice but to report to the imperial study!"

"You little dog slave..."

When An He heard this, his face suddenly changed and he turned around. Just as he was about to punish her, she suddenly lost her voice. She pinched her neck with her hands and pointed at her throat, but couldn't make any sound.

Jingyi's face flushed red, and she held Anhe's hand with a painful expression. Anhe shook her hand away and ordered the maid, "Take Jingyi out of the palace and find the imperial physician to treat her."

The palace maid replied that it was. Mo Chen looked at Jingyi who was being dragged away with cold eyes.

Liu Qingyin looked at Mo Chen and secretly gave him a thumbs up. Mo Chen turned his head and met Liu Qingyin's gaze, and his eyes instantly became gentle and polite.

"Princess, the emperor is meeting in the imperial study. Please come and pay your respects later. Recently, the emperor has been talking about wanting to eat the hibiscus cake you made." Huang Zhongquan heard the noise here and came over with a smile just after Jingyi was taken away.

"Thank you for your advice, Eunuch Huang. I will bring the lotus cake to see my father later."

"Okay, I'll take my leave." Huang Zhongquan bowed.

…………

"You...send me back."

Ah Cheng glanced at Liu Qingyin, hesitated for a moment and said, "I obey your command!"

As they walked on the road, the princess said nothing. A Cheng kept a proper distance and followed behind the princess until they walked into an empty corridor. The princess stopped and sent away the maid beside her.

"Cai Lian, I am tired. Please bring my sedan chair here."

"Princess..." Cai Lian glanced at Acheng and said hesitantly.

"It's okay, Guard Ye is here, no need to worry."

"Yes!" Cai Lian handed the cloak to Acheng and left.

After Cai Lian left, only An He and A Cheng were left in the corridor...

Passing through the corridor and entering the imperial garden, Asumi followed Anhe to the secret base that belonged only to the two of them.

It was quiet, so quiet that you could hear the two people breathing.

An He's back was slender, graceful and weak. A gust of cold wind blew and she couldn't help but shiver. A Cheng looked up with a concerned look on his face and instinctively wanted to take the cloak and put it on An He.

But before he could take a complete step, he hesitated, lowered his head again, and retreated to his original position in silence.

"Brother Acheng, is it really that hard to take a step forward...?" An He turned around and looked at him with tears in her eyes...
