"Make some medicine for me tomorrow." Pei Jin raised his eyes and looked at Mo Yan blankly.

"But, Prince, if you are in good spirits, it would be bad if they find out your flaws." Mo Yan said anxiously.

"I know my limits. The truth and lies can confuse them." Pei Jin had his own ideas and said in a deep voice, "Do everything according to my instructions."

In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Xiao Yuan had just returned from outside when he was pulled into the outer study by Xiao Changfeng.

"Father, why are you so anxious?" Xiao Yuan asked inquiringly.

"I heard that the kid from the Gu family has been chasing you every day these days and trying to get close to you?" Xiao Changfeng asked with a frown.

"It is true, but please rest assured, father. I am just dealing with him." Xiao Yuan said with a smile, "They are not my kind of people."

"That's good. Gu Qiyuan seems to be polite and easy-going, but you know what he is actually like. You should be more careful when talking to the boys from the Gu family in the future, and don't let people find out any information from you." Xiao Changfeng said in a deep voice.

"Father, I understand." Xiao Yuan paused and said, "But I think they want to marry us."

"Marriage? How is that possible?" Xiao Changfeng raised his eyes and said, "Could it be that this boy has taken a fancy to your sister? No, Qianqian should not go to your aunt's birthday party tomorrow. Besides, she still has to take care of Shi An, so she can't be away for too long."

"Father, have you forgotten that His Majesty will also be present tomorrow? If my sister doesn't go, wouldn't it seem that she..." Xiao Yuan said in a low voice.

"That's true." Xiao Changfeng clasped his hands and thought for a long time before saying, "How about this, you take Qianqian to pay respects to His Majesty and the Queen in advance, and then send her back home on the pretext that Qianqian is weak."

"Okay." Xiao Yuan nodded.

"Be careful when you go, don't let those brats see Qianqian's appearance." Xiao Changfeng added.

"Father, Shen Zhi..." Xiao Yuan said, "He hasn't appeared for a while. I wonder if he is seriously ill. The last time I came, I saw that he didn't look very well. Besides, I saw that the Crown Prince always looked worried these past two days, and the imperial doctors kept coming in and out of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. The rumors outside say that Madam Wang is ill, but I don't think that's the case."

"You still want him to come?" Xiao Changfeng sneered, "He hasn't come these few days, and the mansion has become much quieter. He deserves to be sick. He harmed our Qianqian like this. He deserves to die."

"Father, he is the prince's cousin's man after all, and we are on the same side." Xiao Yuan touched his nose and said, "How about I go to Yong'an Marquis' Mansion to check it out?"

"Don't let your mother and Qianqian know about this. Women are soft-hearted. Maybe that damn boy pretended to be sick to win Qianqian's sympathy." Xiao Changfeng waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "I will talk to your mother about tomorrow."

Having said that, he rushed to Mrs. Wang.

Chan Yi was holding Xiao An'er and playing with him. The little kid could already crawl, but he could only crawl backwards, which made Mrs. Wang very happy.

"Oh my, my dear baby, you are so amazing. Your two uncles and your mother all learned to crawl at nine months old." Mrs. Wang knelt on the Persian carpet and clapped her hands at An'er, trying to guide him to crawl forward.

An'er just giggled and backed away. Xiao Changfeng looked at the cute little baby crawling towards him and couldn't help but picked him up and let him sit on his shoulders.

Little An laughed even more happily, hugged his grandfather's head and shouted "Ahhhhh" at Chan Yi.

"Father." Chan Yi bowed and greeted, "Put An'er down. He is getting heavier and heavier now."

Little An seemed to understand what his mother said, and he held his grandfather's head even more tightly and refused to let go.

It was only when Chan Yi went over and coaxed him back that he reluctantly hugged his mother's neck and acted coquettishly.

Mrs. Lin looked at the mother and son and became more and more delighted.

"Qianqian, I have prepared your clothes for tomorrow. Have you remembered the palace rules and etiquette?" She asked Chanyi lovingly.

"Mother, don't worry, I have already learned it. I will meet His Majesty tomorrow, so I won't bother." Chan Yi said with a bright smile.

Day two.

Pei Jin had already dressed and entered the palace early in the morning. He wanted to talk with the Crown Prince first and tell Jing Hao in detail what he had been thinking in the past two days.

After the discussion, it was still early, so he walked out of the East Palace slowly and walked alone on the palace road.

He was in mourning and could not attend the Queen's birthday banquet. His carriage was parked at the west corner gate. He had already made up his mind to wait for Chan Yi's arrival in the carriage. Perhaps, he could see her once.

Today he was wearing the dark green brocade robe with flowing cloud patterns made from the cicada's wings, a Pisces jade pendant around his waist, and an emerald jade crown on his head, which made his face look even paler.

It was autumn, and the morning wind was slightly cool. Pei Jin couldn't help but coughing softly.

He stretched out his hand to hold on to the magnolia tree beside the palace path, and was about to cover his mouth with a handkerchief.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two people turning into the palace road on the left not far in front of him and walking towards Kunning Palace.

"Xiao Yuan!" Pei Jin saw who was coming and immediately ran forward.

"It's Shen Zhi." Xiao Yuan stopped, looking a little surprised, and quickly protected Chan Yi behind him, "You came out of the East Palace so early in the morning?"

Pei Jin ran so fast that his forehead was slightly sweaty. He had not taken his medicine properly in the past few days in order to deceive his opponent, and his body was in great condition. Although he drank a large amount of medicine today, how could he suppress the toxins in his body so quickly?

For a while, he ran out of breath, his steps were weak, and he coughed for a long time. After a long time, he covered his lips and said apologetically: "I'm sorry to make you laugh at my body."

"Shenzhi, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yuan asked calmly, thinking that he didn't seem to be pretending.

Pei Jin did not answer. He just calmed himself down and looked behind him. He saw the woman with her head lowered, revealing a corner of her smoky-colored long skirt with gold embroidery.

"Chan Yi..." He looked around and saw that there was no one else around. His eyes suddenly turned red and he murmured in a low voice.

"Shenzhi, you've got the wrong person. She is my sister." Xiao Yuan opened his folding fan with a "swish" and stood in front of him, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

It turned out that this guy was pretending to be pitiful in front of his sister, and I was fooled by him just now.

"Sister? Chan Yi is really your sister? That's great, Chan Yi, you finally found your biological parents..." Pei Jin looked at the woman behind him, only to see that the woman was half covered with a veil, with a kingfisher hairpin inlaid with sapphires.

"Shenzhi, stop talking nonsense. My sister has been living well in my grandparents' house. She couldn't go back to her father and mother because she was avoiding the disaster. Now that the disaster is over, we brought her back from Jiangyin." Xiao Yuan said impatiently, shaking his fan.

"Xiao Yuan, please spare me a moment to talk. I have something important to ask you." Pei Jin reached out and grabbed Xiao Yuan's sleeve, trying to see the appearance of the woman behind him.

My dears, I will take a day off tomorrow to let me take a breath, but there will be a short chapter. Writing is too tiring, and the data is not good, but I still want to thank my dears for not leaving me. Thank you for accompanying me for another month. See you next month.
