The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

"I am so happy to have such a long chat with my father today. It is getting late, I should go back and rest. His Majesty has specially prepared a grand welcoming banquet for tomorrow, I must take good care of myself to prepare for the banquet. However, Zi Qiu must resume his status as the eldest prince after his return this time, so it may not be appropriate for him to go back with me tonight."

When Hua Xin said this, his eyes were always on Nangong Ziqiu.

The latter couldn't help but look embarrassed and seemed a little uneasy.

"Xinxin, let Chu Li go and accompany you this year! After all, I still have to go see her."

Hua Xin knew exactly who this "she" was referring to.

"Okay, you don't have to see me off. Xuan Ling will accompany me back."

When Hua Xin stepped out of the Yancui Palace, drizzle began to fall from the sky again.

"Oh, Xinxin, we have to run a little faster and get to the corridor to wait for the servant to bring an umbrella before we can leave."

Nangong Xuanling held Hua Xin's hand tightly and took the lead to run without hesitation.

Ye Lanhai and Mo Chuli had no choice but to follow closely.

The group of people hid in the corridor to avoid the rain in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"Ah!"

Mo Chuli suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Chu Li, are you okay?"

Hua Xin immediately reached out to feel his pulse, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing serious.

"I'm fine, I just felt a sudden chill."

Mo Chuli looked at Hua Xin's wet hair and said with concern: "Change your clothes and take a shower when you return to the palace! It's easy to catch a cold and get sick if you get caught in the rain."

"Okay! How about taking a bath together?"

Hua Xin whispered into Mo Chuli's ear.

In an instant, Mo Chuli felt that his whole body was no longer cold, his cheeks flushed with shyness, and a burning feeling surged in his heart.

Hua Xin is so bold!

"Hahaha, let's go!"

There was no rain on a certain section of the corridor, so everyone continued to move forward.

At this moment, only Liu Guijun and her son Nangong Ziqiu were left in Yancui Palace.

Only then did Nangong Ziqiu kneel down and salute again.

"Father, please accept my greetings! I am extremely unfilial. I have been away from home for many years and have not been able to..."

"Okay, kid, no need to say more. Get up quickly and follow me into the bedroom!" Liu Guijun comforted Nangong Ziqiu softly while leading him towards the bedroom and signaled Daqing to wait outside the door.

After the two of them entered the bedroom, Liu Guijun suddenly asked, "Zi Qiu, you need to answer your father truthfully, have you and Xin Xin ever had sex?"

Nangong Ziqiu never expected his father to ask such a hot question so directly, but he still shook his head and answered honestly: "To answer your question, father, not yet. I have deep feelings for Xinxin. I once thought that even if I had no name or status, I would be satisfied as long as I could be with her. But later, she gave me great expectations. Because of this, I am more eager to wait for the day of marriage to come and give her a perfect wedding night."

"What a sensible and good child! As for your own situation... well, don't tell me. Just assume that I know nothing about it."

Liu Guijun seemed to want to say something but hesitated, as if she had something unspeakable in her heart.

Nangong Ziqiu stared at Liu Guijun intently, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes - love, hate, and a hint of unspeakable pain.

He could never have imagined that he would once again set foot on this land that he once hated so much.

At first, he swore never to return to this place that devoured humanity like wolves and tigers, but fate always liked to play tricks on people, forcing him to break his oath and return to his old place.

"Father, does she think that I won't survive this year?" Nangong Ziqiu's voice was cold and sarcastic, as if he was filled with endless resentment towards that "her".

Liu Guijun remained silent, but his evasive gaze had already revealed all the answers.

"Father, do you know that someone has been chasing me all along?" Nangong Ziqiu continued to ask, the anger in his tone becoming more and more obvious.

Liu Guijun was slightly stunned, then nodded gently, and sighed and said: "I expected this, but with my strength, I can do very little for you. Now this arrangement is a good thing. You can marry into the Great Xia Kingdom and stay away from this place from now on."

Hearing this, Nangong Ziqiu felt sad.

He sneered and asked: "Father, do you also expect me to die?"

Liu Guijun widened her eyes and looked at Nangong Ziqiu in astonishment, her mouth open but no sound came out.

He couldn't believe that his son would question him like that, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Just because of a prophecy, she was so afraid that the princes who were born afterwards died prematurely for various reasons. Is she really so afraid that someone will take her throne? However, can Xuan Ling really bear this heavy responsibility? With such a heavy burden on her young shoulders, won't she feel exhausted?"

Liu Guijun sighed helplessly and said, "Born in the royal family, one must shoulder one's own responsibilities. Besides, Xuan Ling has gradually adapted to everything now."

"In that case, that's it! I think it's time to go meet her."

"I'll go with you!"

"No need. Lest she vent her anger on you, it would be better for me to go alone. After all, I have been claiming to others that I am recuperating in another hospital, so I naturally need to continue to make up this lie this time. Father, I bid you farewell."

"Well, go ahead!"

After Nangong Ziqiu turned and left, Liu Guijun suddenly collapsed to the ground as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

Daqing, who had rushed over after hearing the noise, was shocked when he saw this: "My lord, my lord, the ground is freezing cold, how can you sit on it directly?"

"Daqing, tell me, did I do something wrong? Perhaps, when Qiu'er was born, I should have sent her away without hesitation, so that I could avoid being poisoned by her. However, as the saying goes, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. I never thought that she would resort to such cruel means."

Daqing remained silent and just quietly helped Liu Guijun up.

Liu Guijun continued to confide: "I really don't know if Qiu'er knows that she was the one who poisoned him back then. If he knows the truth, what choice will he make? If he knows nothing about it, should I tell him?"

"My dear sir, Princess Rongyue specifically told you not to worry too much to avoid hurting your body! Now that Your Highness is able to go to the Great Xia Kingdom, doesn't it mean that he can stay away from this place of trouble?" Daqing comforted him patiently.

"Well, then come with me to check out Qiu'er's dowry!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."
