Sister, you traveled through time too?

After saying goodbye to Dongxu, the group continued on their journey.

Jiang Hao sat quietly on the couch, glancing towards Xiaoyu from time to time.

Ice cream's words, "It doesn't matter now, but it doesn't mean it won't matter in the future," kept echoing in Jiang Hao's mind.

"Does the Grand Tutor also like His Highness?" Jiang Hao thought silently in his heart.

He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, but then he felt that his emotion was for no reason.

What does it have to do with him who likes His Highness?

Why should he feel bad?

Jiang Hao didn't know.

He was just saved by His Highness. To him, His Highness was his benefactor, his mentor, and his salvation.

But the moment Jiang Hao saw Dong Xu, or when he saw another man next to His Highness, he would be extremely concerned.

It was an inexplicable feeling.

But what exactly do he feel about His Highness?

Is it because he likes Your Highness that he cares so much about the people around Your Highness?

His Highness gave him a new life and is the only one who supported him unwaveringly. Does he rely on and worship His Highness, or does he like him?

Jiang Hao couldn't explain it, he just felt confused.

All kinds of complicated thoughts exploded in the boy's mind.

Xiaoyu stood aside, quietly observing Jiang Hao, who had a complicated expression on his face.

She thought the kid was thinking of a stabbing.

She simply told Jiang Hao what happened that night and her guess.

The young man, who was originally immersed in sorrow, suddenly came to his senses and sat up.

"Is there someone else behind the assassination? Does that mean someone wants to get rid of me and stir up Your Highness's anger against the Jiang family?"

"Achieve the goal of eradicating the Jiang family?"

Jiang Hao's pupils were slightly startled, then he thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, that's right."

"The Imperial City is in chaos, with countless factional fights and infighting. Rather than letting you stay in the Imperial City to recover, it is better for you to travel quickly and safely."

"You don't have to worry about these things. Just take good care of your injuries and show your talents when you get to the grassland."

Xiaoyu said leisurely, leaning against the window with his chin in his hand.

Although Jiang Hao didn't know who did it, he knew it was a conspiracy by other forces.

The situation in the imperial city has always been complicated. He just looked at His Highness, and his expression gradually became serious.

"I deserve to die." Jiang Hao thought hatefully.

He is still thinking about love affairs? Damn it!

What we should think about now is to heal our wounds and fight the enemy in battle.

The imperial city is in chaos, and Your Highness's situation is not necessarily safe. If there is any party struggle, it is between the Prime Minister's party and the Emperor's party.

Those people wanted to get rid of the Jiang family, probably because the Jiang family had not yet taken sides, and they were already His Highness's men.

In order to prevent the Jiang family from surrendering, those people could only instigate Jiang Hao and use him as a tool to destroy the Jiang family.

Jiang Hao had complicated feelings, he just wanted to achieve success quickly and have a seat in the court.

He is so weak now that he can't even help His Highness in this secret fight.

He only wanted to become a powerful force one day, serve His Highness loyally, and be His Highness's backing and sword.

Jiang Hao simply stopped thinking about it and just wanted to fight his way out, become a new force, and stand guard over His Highness.

Xiaoyu was completely unaware of Jiang Hao's thoughts. She just looked at the scenery outside the window and then fell asleep quietly.

……

【Imperial Palace】

When Xiaoyu and his group set off, Tang Zhao was not idle either.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. It is my duty to share your worries."

Only Hai Yi's voice was heard from inside the hall, which was extremely respectful.

Tang Zhao specially issued an edict and sent an imperial carriage to pick up Hai Yi to have dinner together and gave him all the honors.

At this moment, sitting in the hall were Tang Zhao, Hai Yi, and Queen Hai Wan.

Tang Zhao and Hai Yi had a very pleasant conversation, leaving Hai Wan standing by stunned.

"What great achievement has my brother made? Why does the emperor keep praising my brother?"

Hai Wan thought to herself that her face was about to freeze from smiling, so she quickly took a bite of the shredded pork with fish flavor while the two were not paying attention.

I have to say, this dish is really delicious, and the emperor’s taste is indeed better than hers.

But in order to appear polite, Hai Wan only dared to take each dish three times.

Although the emperor was discussing something with her brother and all the servants were driven out, the emperor was sitting upstairs, so she didn't dare to disobey the rules.

I can only drool silently at the spicy fried shrimp and my favorite stewed pork ribs.

"Ah! My dear, every time I think of you as my loyal minister, I feel relieved."

Tang Zhao patted Hai Yi's shoulder and said with a serious smile.

But in my heart I was thinking: "Every time I think of you as a great trouble to me, I feel really annoyed."

The two talked about everything from flattery to family matters, and then to their lofty ambitions.

Tang Zhao said today everything he had never said in his life.

But Hai Yi would never talk about the affairs of the court, nor would he say a word about his family, country, or the world.

This made Tang Zhao feel particularly depressed, thinking that this old fox could really hold it in.

He took a sip of wine and glanced to the side, and saw Hai Wan put a piece of pork ribs into his mouth at lightning speed.

Tang Zhao:?

In fact, for a moment he doubted whether he had seen it wrong. After all, the queen had always been very dignified, polite and cautious.

Tang Zhao felt a little embarrassed, thinking that she probably didn't realize that he saw it.

He secretly glanced at Hai Wan again, and inexplicably felt that such a queen was a little cute.

She is much cuter than when she is acting cautious and aboveboard all day long.

The corners of his lips rose slightly, and his eyes were full of relief.

Hai Yi keenly noticed the change in the emperor's eyes. He followed Tang Zhao's line of sight.

I noticed that the emperor was looking at his sister tenderly.

"Could it be that the Emperor really loves Xiao Wan so much?" Hai Yi thought and quickly looked away.

He was overjoyed, knowing that his subconscious gentleness would not deceive anyone.

Only then did I realize the emperor's intention.

Tang Zhao didn't expect that a glance from her would make Hai Yi let down his guard.

Tang Zhao withdrew her gaze and saw that Hai Yi had a smile in his eyes, so she quickly toasted him.

When Hai Wan saw this, she quickly picked up two more shrimps with her chopsticks and then smiled with satisfaction.

"I have had a pleasant conversation with the Prime Minister. It is getting late, so let's stop here for today."

After three rounds of drinks, Tang Zhao finally spoke with a smile on her face.

"You two brothers and sisters, I think it's been a while since we last met, you should have some personal conversation. I won't join in the fun, I will go back to the Queen's Palace to rest first."

Tang Zhao said with a smile, patted Hai Yi's shoulder again, and then stood up.

He knew that he couldn't act too hastily and could only slowly let Hai Yi let down his guard.

Hai Yi was overjoyed that the emperor wanted to stay in his sister's palace, which showed that he really loved his sister.

He bowed respectfully to Tang Zhao, and after Jiang Dehai helped Tang Zhao leave, Hai Yi looked at his younger sister.

"My Queen, how are you these days?"

Hai Yi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he asked with a smile and gentle eyes.

Hai Wan stood up, bowed slightly to her brother, and then said, "Brother, I'm fine."

Her smile was bright, as romantic as she had been in the mansion in previous years.

Hai Yi just looked at his sister and said to himself: "I think the emperor has some true feelings for you, but you must firmly hold on to the emperor's heart."

"Give birth to a prince as soon as possible and have children for the emperor, which will be worthy of the emperor's love."

Hai Yi spoke high-sounding words and gave gentle advice.

Hai Wan was stunned for a moment, then put away the confusion in her eyes and nodded obediently.

Hai Wan: Me? Are you talking about me?
