After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

"Did you buy breakfast at Baiweizhai? How do you know I like the food at Baiweizhai?" Qi Zi asked puzzledly.

"No, this was made by my maid. I opened Baiweizhai, and the chef there is my maid's father." Qi Wuyou said indifferently.

"You opened it?" Qi Zi raised her voice a few notches. "Why didn't you tell me that you opened it? I spent a lot of money in it."

Originally, almost all of her monthly allowance was given to Qi Yin by her mother, and she also gave all the rewards from her father to Qi Wuyou as a dowry. Apart from the private money she saved, she really couldn't take out a penny.

This time it was Qi Wuyou's turn to be stunned, "I remember asking Ye Jiu to tell you, but he didn't tell you?"

The two men's scrutinizing eyes fell on Ye Jiu, and Ye Jiu explained dryly, "My queen, didn't you say at the beginning that you would take the princess to dinner when you had the chance?"

Then he added weakly, "You didn't say it doesn't cost money."

Qi Wuyou&Qi Zi: ⊙︿⊙It’s quite speechless.

After breakfast, Qi Zi planned to go back. He and Ye Jiu had not returned home all night, and who knows what might have happened in the mansion.

Ye Jiu followed Qi Zi happily and walked away together.

The carriage that brought us here yesterday was Qi Wuyou's, and the carriage from the princess's mansion went back yesterday.

Although Qi Wuyou suggested sending a carriage to take them there, Qi Zi refused. They were now living secretly in Kyoto. If her identity was exposed by sending her there, she would be committing a serious sin.

On the way, Qi Zi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Jiu. He dared to go back with her. Wasn't he afraid that she would kill him?

Ye Jiu felt uneasy when she looked at him, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's okay. I was just thinking about how to punish you as a spy." Qi Zi leaned close to his ear and spoke word by word.

Ye Jiu was not afraid of what she would do to him, so he cupped his hands and said, "It's up to you, Princess."

Well, this is a spoiled child. Let’s see how she deals with him when she gets back.

Qi Zi felt that she had to make Ye Jiu pay back the money she lost first, so she immediately decided to go shopping.

Ye Jiu nodded. He had no objection and just went.

After walking a few steps, Ye Jiu seemed to remember something and asked, "Do you have money?" Usually when they went out to buy things, Qi Zi's personal maid Rong'er paid for it.

After hearing this, Qi Zi's eyes widened, "I didn't bring it with me, so you don't have it either?"

"No," Ye Jiu admitted frankly, "I haven't had a penny in the past few years. Princess, don't you know that?"

Qi Zi couldn't believe it, "Xuan Yelan doesn't give you a monthly allowance?"

"Give it to me," Ye Jiu didn't understand, "I need to save the money to buy medicine. Come to think of it, it seems that I haven't given it to you in recent years."

"Why buy medicine?" Qi Zi asked. Is he sick? It doesn't look like that.

"Making poison," Ye Jiu said confidently.

Qi Zi rolled her eyes. It was unnecessary for her to ask this question.

No, no, let’s go home.

The princess's residence was at the foot of the imperial palace, and it took the two of them more than an hour to get there.

To be precise, Ye Jiu carried Qi Zi on his back for more than an hour.

As soon as they reached the gate of the princess's mansion, they saw Rong'er coming out to greet them.

"Princess, Prince Consort, you are finally back." Rong'er came over and said anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Qi Zi frowned, she got off Ye Jiu's back and asked.

"There's news from the palace, the Imperial Concubine wants you to come into the palace."

Qi Zi's brows furrowed even tighter. She hadn't done anything wrong recently. She had stayed out all night before, but her mother didn't care at all. Why did she call her this time?

Just as she was thinking about it, the carriage came to Qi Zi, "You go back first," she said to Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu nodded, held her hand, and using the cover of his sleeve, put a pill in Qi Zi's palm.

Qi Zi took the medicine bag calmly and put it in his sleeve pocket.

"Let's go," Qi Zi said and got on the carriage.

Ye Jiu also obediently returned home and waited for Qi Zi to come back.

In Baohua Palace, Concubine Yin did not scold Qi Zi right away as she did before. Instead, she asked her in a gentle voice how she and Ye Jiu were doing.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Qi Zi is not sure what her mother's real intention is.

"Not bad," Qi Zi said this perfunctorily, and Concubine Yin was not angry.

Then he asked, "When do you plan to have a child?"

It was like an ordinary mother urging her daughter and son-in-law. Someone else might have let down their guard, but Qi Zi had been targeted by Concubine Yin for sixteen years. After just a few days of not seeing her, she couldn't believe that she could change so much.

Qi Zi smiled, "My husband is a doctor. He said that I am still young and there is no need to rush. If I get pregnant at this age, it will be bad for my health."

Hearing this, Concubine Yin's face turned pale, "I was only fifteen when I was pregnant with your fourth brother, and I am still fine now."

Qi Zi's eyebrows jumped after hearing this. Fifteen years old? She calculated the date and it was the sixteenth year of Yongping. She remembered that her mother entered the palace in the seventeenth year of Yongping.

I heard that when my mother was seven months pregnant, she fell and gave birth prematurely. She barely managed to save her life, but Qi Yin didn't look like a premature baby.

Once suspicion arises, many doubts will arise. I have to go back and talk to Ye Jiu about this matter.

"This..." Qi Zi was embarrassed and blushed as she said, "Actually, I don't want to have a baby either. I haven't had enough fun yet."

Concubine Yin looked at her with disgust, "You are such a useless girl. You only think about playing all day long and have no manners at all."

After saying this, Concubine Yin waved her hand, and Qi Zi bowed and left.

Qi Zi had long been immune to Concubine Yin's insults. She herself was obviously just a girl.

However, before leaving, Qi Zi deliberately sprinkled the medicine powder given by Ye Jiu into the pot of peonies that Concubine Yin loved the most when no one was paying attention.

Concubine Yin had to water the plants herself every time. According to what Ye Jiu had said before, the poison was colorless and odorless, and could not be washed away with water. There was no antidote except the antidote he prepared himself. As long as one came into contact with the poison, one would be poisoned.

Qi Zi walked on the road, recalling what Concubine Yin had just said.

Inexplicably, Qi Zi thought of her grandfather, Prime Minister Yin. Although he was a little stingy and jealous, he really didn't have the concept of favoring boys over girls.

My grandmother was also a talented woman who had been trained by a wealthy family for more than ten years. She also taught my mother in this way. So who taught my mother these ideas?

In the carriage leaving the palace, Qi Zi tried hard to recall how Qi Yin, influenced by his mother, had looked down on his sister over the years, and Qi Xian had always treated her as if she were air.

Her grandparents were very fair to her. She treated Qi Yin and Qi Xian equally. Everything they had, she also had.

However, my mother will take back her share and divide it between Qi Yin and Qi Xian.

And her uncle would prepare two gifts for her every birthday, one for her and one for Qixian.

Suddenly, Qi Zi had an idea: Could it be that my mother was not born to my grandfather?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Qi Zi felt completely confused.

It’s no wonder she thinks so. Her mother doesn’t look like her grandparents, nor does she look like her uncle.

She had to go back quickly and find Ye Jiu to sort it out with her.
