As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Emperor Yingde took a sip of tea slowly before saying warmly, "Nothing, it's something else in the palace. Just take a good rest and you'll be fine. Don't worry."

Meng Changce frowned at this time and said, "I have encountered a lot of things in my house recently. In addition, my body is not very healthy. I am used to being lazy. I want to go back to my mother's old house recently."

"I also want to take my wife back to the place where my mother lived and have a good rest for a while. Please grant me permission, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yingde met his gaze and was stunned for a moment: "Jiangbei?"

"Yes"

"It's close to the mountains and the water, and deep among the rivers and streams. It's really a good place to rest." Emperor Ying De tapped his fingers silently on the chair a few times and said in a low voice.

"Go, and take a good look at your mother, too."

Meng Changce hid the disgust in his eyes and lowered his head to answer: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Meng Changce dragged his sick body out of the imperial study, Emperor Yingde's expression became tense, with murderous intent on his face. He suddenly threw the teacup beside him to the ground and asked sternly, "Are you sure he was poisoned by the same poison as his father?"

Tang Hai did not dare to hesitate and knelt down: "Yes, what Doctor Deng said is absolutely true."

"Oh! Queen!" Emperor Yingde looked at the door with a deep and icy gaze. This poison was presented by the Queen back then, and only the Queen had the recipe for this poison. How could Emperor Yingde not be furious?

He had complicated emotions towards Meng Changce, but he also decided that he could not tolerate the Queen's hand reaching into the residence of the ministers of the previous dynasty.

Li Jing, who had been keeping an eye on Meng Changce's actions, naturally received the news of his entry into the palace. Li Jing was not too surprised, but he couldn't help but worry that Meng Changce would be exposed in front of Emperor Yingde.

However, his worries were soon dispelled when his people in the palace brought news that Emperor Yingde had only sent Imperial Physician Deng to examine Meng Changce.

On the other side, Meng Changce arrived at Shen Lanyue's room and drove all the servants out.

Shen Lanyue was sitting on the bed. Her beautiful eyes stared at him before he entered the room, and her brows furrowed slightly.

It was really hard for her to describe how Meng Changce looked now. He looked so haggard that it seemed as if he would not live long.

"This is?"

Meng Changce saw the nervous look in her eyes and the slightly wrinkled brows, and smiled: "What if your husband doesn't live long? What should we do?" He was the first to tease.

When Shen Lanyue heard what he said, she knew that he must be pretending.

She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and smiled at him faintly: "Of course, she took her husband's property and married someone else." As she spoke, she pretended to be melancholy.

"Hehe..." Meng Changce laughed out loud, and his expression relaxed.

"Did something happen when you entered the palace today?" Shen Lanyue asked with her eyes flashing several times.

Meng Changce answered hesitantly: "If I were to say so, we would be leaving the capital for a while recently."

Shen Lanyue was stunned, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, but she quickly thought about it and realized that after what had happened recently, the capital was indeed not a safe place for them.

Shen Lanyue glanced at Meng Changce's expression out of the corner of her eye, remembering that the man in front of her would not suddenly want to leave the capital for no reason, and that someone was suddenly monitoring all activities in the Changning Marquis' Mansion, and she herself had also encountered an assassination attempt.

Although Meng Changce had already discovered it and asked him to take advantage of the situation, he behaved uncharacteristically and pretended to be sick in the next few days.

You know, Meng Changce has always wanted to package himself as a dandy and live in the capital inconspicuously. And with all the things that have happened recently, a lot of attention and topics have shifted to Changning Marquis Mansion.

Moreover, Li Wenxuan and Li Jing are currently competing for the position of crown prince, so Meng Changce would definitely not put himself in such a prominent position.

Unless Meng Changce wanted to stay away from the capital during this period of time from the beginning, Shen Lanyue tried hard to recall what happened at this time in her previous life, but at that time she was already in Li Wenxuan's backyard and had no idea what was happening outside during this period of time.

"What? You don't want to go?" Meng Changce saw her with her head down, her eyes unfocused and her thoughts flying somewhere unknown.

"No, it's just a little sudden." Shen Lanyue raised her eyes, shook her head and said, "But there is no preparation at home, when will we set off?"

Meng Changce's expression became deep and mysterious, with a faint smile on his lips, and he said in a lazy and calm voice: "The day after tomorrow, everything has been arranged."

"Just wait for Madam's nod."

Shen Lanyue's eyelids twitched, a strange feeling surged in her heart, and she looked into his eyes.

"Since my husband has already made the arrangements, I will just listen to him."

"Then we'll set off tomorrow."

Shen Lanyue: “…” Haha, her smile froze on her face at that moment, and it took her a while to swallow the breath in her heart.

She found that Meng Changce was sometimes quite childish!

-------------------------------------

The time Meng Changce gave him was not very long. Shen Lanyue watched him sitting aside leisurely drinking tea, and the pale and weak look on his face was no longer there.

Shen Lanyue's heart choked again, she was stunned for a moment, and a distant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She told Fanfan to pack up his clothes, and Meng Changce said that the place they were going to this time was his mother's hometown.

The servants had everything over there, so there weren't many things. Although Fanfan was confused at first, he quickly packed them up under the watchful eyes of his two masters.

"This time, I will just bring Fanfan with me." Shen Lanyue said.

Meng Changce paused while drinking tea, his eyes slightly surprised: "You can bring a few more maids you trust, just the ones you usually use."

"One person is usually enough, and I know the fewer people there are, the safer it is."

Shen Lanyue glanced at him, and spoke softly with a smile, her eyes meeting his.

Meng Changce's eyes were dark as he stared into her eyes and raised his lips towards her.

There were no words, but the meaning flowed between the two of them.

Meng Changce always knew that Shen Lanyue was smart, but he still didn't expect her to react so quickly.

"When you get there..." Meng Changce frowned again as he was about to say this, "Just think of it as a sightseeing trip."

"understood."

Shen Lanyue turned around and poured herself a cup of tea. She turned the cup in her hands, pondered for a moment, and then drank it slowly.

The next day, Meng Changce and his party set off for Jiangbei, keeping a very low profile.
