"Empress Zhaoyi."

Su Minglang had parted ways with Concubine Shu a long time ago, and when he walked towards the house alone, he thought he could finally take a rest. However, he didn't expect to be intercepted by Wen Ji before he even reached there.

"Master Wen?" Su Minglang was a little puzzled as to why Wen Ji appeared in front of him. Suddenly, he thought of the Queen's condition today and had an idea in his mind.

"Master Wen, are you here to ask about the Empress?"

Wen Ji was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Empress Zhaoyi is indeed discerning. I am indeed here for my sister."

Wen Ji did not call her "Empress" in front of her, but called her "Sister", which obviously meant that he acknowledged that Su Minglang was close to the Queen and had no concerns about her.

Su Minglang didn't know whether he should feel honored or not.

"It's not convenient to stand outside the house where there are so many people around. Young Master Wen, please go inside and talk." Su Minglang looked at the guards and palace maids coming and going around, and said to Wen Ji in a generous manner.

Wen Jiben was a little concerned that such an action was not in accordance with the rules, but looking at Su Minglang's upright appearance, he suddenly felt that as a man, he was judging others by his own standards. He nodded and took the lead in lifting the door curtain for Su Minglang.

"My lady, please."

Su Minglang didn't hesitate. She called Xiaoye and asked Nanxing to stay outside to guard, then she walked in first.

Wen Ji followed closely behind. Just as he entered and had not yet stood still, Xiao Ye brought a chair and Su Minglang motioned for him to sit down.

"I wonder if Master Wen knows about the Queen's horsemanship skills?"

"My sister's riding and archery skills have always been as good as those of my brothers." Wen Ji said without reservation, his expression wandering as if he was lost in memories.

Su Minglang saw that he seemed to be thinking of some beautiful past events, and his distant look eased a lot.

After a long time, Wen Ji finally woke up from his memories. He looked at Su Minglang apologetically, and when he saw that she waved her hand and didn't care, he continued: "But something happened later, and my sister's health was damaged. From then on, let alone riding and shooting, she would cough constantly even if there was a little cold wind."

"Did something happen back then?" Su Minglang asked, "Has the Queen ever been injured?"

"I don't know about this matter." Wen Ji was obviously a little curious, but more worried. "Regarding this past event, my family has always been very secretive, and I was afraid of touching my sister's pain point, so I didn't dare to ask."

"But I remember that happened after my sister arrived at the Prince's Mansion."

"Later, my sister took care of her health and got better for a while, but I don't know what happened. She got worse again in the past few years."

"It turns out that the Queen's health has always been poor." Su Minglang suddenly fell into deep thought. Because of her memories from her previous life, she always thought that it was Xiao Heng who harmed the Queen. After all, he had been tampering with the Queen's medicine, and the Queen's tragic death in the end was also related to him, and it was even planned by him.

In any case, let’s talk about it after I get the person.

"I knew my sister would go horseback riding today, so I went to wait for her early. I thought she would feel more relaxed after riding the horse, but I saw that her face seemed to be even paler."

"What happened today? I seem to have heard that there was some commotion over there?" Wen Ji asked with a worried look on his face. "My sister is not very close to the concubines in the palace on weekdays, and this is the first time I have seen her take the initiative to invite any of you, so I took the liberty to come here to ask if you know anything, Your Majesty?"

"Something did happen today, but the Queen is not injured. Young Master Wen can rest assured about this." Su Minglang thought carefully about the Queen's expression today, which was indeed a little strange.

"When the queen got on the horse today, her expression changed. I thought she was afraid and thought it would be harmless to persuade her to give up. But I didn't expect the queen to suddenly jump on the horse."

"Her action frightened us and alerted the guards, which is why there was a commotion."

Su Minglang briefly recounted to Wen Ji what happened today. Thinking about it carefully, the Queen started to behave strangely when she reached out and touched the horse's back.

She stroked the horse's mane over and over again. She thought the queen was afraid, but she didn't expect that this would bring back her memories of the past. But knowing that seeing the horse would remind her of the past, why did the queen take the initiative to mention this matter?

Su Minglang was puzzled, but it seemed that she was not the only one who was confused. Wen Ji was also frowning and no one knew what he was thinking about.

He pondered for a long time and finally gave up with a long sigh and said, "To be honest, Zhaoyi, I really can't figure out what my sister is thinking, but I still ask the queen to give her some leniency."

"Although my sister's health is due to an old illness, she is also suffering from the damage caused by her daily grief. If you have time, please go and talk to her."

Wen Ji was silent for a moment and then, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Just consider it as a favor I owe to your Majesty. I'll leave it to you."

"The Queen has always been very kind to me. I would have gone even without Master Wen's request." Su Minglang smiled and agreed.

"In that case, I will not bother you any further." Wen Ji stood up and bowed, stopping Su Minglang from getting up, then he opened the curtain and walked out.

Nan Xing followed him in. She looked back at Wen Ji's leaving figure, then looked at the two silent people in the room without asking any more questions.

"I'm tired." Su Minglang tugged at his collar. Although the clothes were convenient, they were too tight. It was fine when he was on horseback, but now that he was sitting still, he felt something was wrong with his whole body. "Xiaoye, find me some clothes. I want to change into them."

"Yes." Xiao Ye quickly handed over a skirt. She came close to Su Minglang and asked, "Madam, didn't you say that you should keep your distance from the Queen?"

"Why did you agree to Master Wen?"

"There are still some things I am concerned about that I haven't figured out." Su Minglang thought for a moment and said, "Although the left and right queens are a bit strict, they don't have any bad intentions."

"What's more, it seems that she is not as obedient as I thought." Su Minglang thought of the horrifying scene today and couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Ye looked at her and suppressed the doubts in her heart. She knew that Su Minglang was a person with her own ideas. Although she didn't know what she cared about, she wouldn't ask if Su Minglang didn't tell her.

only……

Xiao Ye didn't know when it started, but she always felt that Su Minglang seemed like a different person, but those rules and habits were clearly hers.
