Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

At the bustling gate of the capital city, a neat team of carriages slowly and low-key approached the gate.

The leading coachman was inconspicuous, but the servant standing beside the carriage was well-trained. He was taking back the token he had just shown to the guard officer.

Facing the other party's terrified eyes, he whispered to stop the other party's body from sliding down. Who would dare to stop him with the token granted by His Majesty? The guard officer hurriedly let them into the city without even a routine check.

There was a faint coughing sound coming from the carriage, but no one dared to step forward to investigate.

After being released, the servant returned to the carriage and anxiously advised his master, who was so anxious that he ignored his health and hurried on.

"Your Highness...Please put on one more piece of clothing. I have already rushed back to the capital overnight as you ordered. Doctor Xu is already waiting in the palace. Wait for him to prescribe a prescription for you. Take it and rest. It won't be too late to see you again..."

Unfortunately, his master didn't appreciate it. He said with a gloomy face, "It's useless to add more clothes! I know my body very well! Cough cough cough cough..."

He covered his mouth, bent over and coughed violently, causing his whole body to tremble. His personal attendant pulled open the thick fox fur and tried to put it on him, but he slapped it away with one hand.

"Need not!"

If the fox fur coat wrinkled his green bamboo cloud brocade robe and messed up his thick black hair, how could he show his best side to her?

It's just that my body is not strong enough. I can't stop the itching in my throat. Once I start coughing, it feels like I'm going to cough out all my internal organs.

A strand of hair fell from the exquisite braid to his eyebrow, and physiological tears gathered in his eyes. After taking several deep breaths, he finally stopped his series of coughs.

The old attendant continued to persuade him worriedly, "She can't run away. Your Majesty's favorite ministers often enter the palace to accompany you. You can see her anytime you want.

Your Highness, please go back to the palace and drink some medicine to stop coughing. She will be happier to see you, right?"

The seventeenth prince Xiao Zhengze was still trying hard to suppress the itch in his throat. He opened his lips slightly and drank the warm water handed to him by the servant. His complexion looked better.

He was the most stubborn. In order to avoid the bitter taste of the medicine on his body, he wore a sachet and refused to drink the medicine a few days ago. "I have been drinking it for so many years, but I haven't seen any improvement. It shows that the medicine is useless."

Perhaps he was thinking of the past. In the carriage, a few rays of light came in through the closed curtains, dispelling the gloom on Xiao Zhengze's face and revealing a faint smile.

"She may not be happy to see me, but may be frightened. I have been looking forward to meeting her again for many years."

He has changed a lot in recent years.

From a boy who was a head shorter than her and looked indistinguishable from a boy, he grew into a tall and thin man.

She never knew his identity, and she never expected anything in return for her kindness to him. She was one of the few people in this world who was truly sincere to him.

He looked at Lao Mi, the only one who understood him, and asked uncertainly, "You said...she must still remember me, right? I was very willful back then, and she could never do anything to me. She looked so adorable even though she was angry but helpless..."

Lao Ni Ni patted his hands lovingly, "Your Highness remembers it all, how could she not remember? Your Highness was forced to seek refuge alone in Yunwu Mountain at that time, and all the servants who served him were not there. Every time I think of it, I feel heartbroken. Your Highness suffered a lot."

She had been suffering from illness since she was young. The princess who had been carefully cared for and raised in a beautiful family went to a place of austerity and hardship to practice by herself.

Although I returned safely in the end, my heart was left on that mountain.

What kind of magic does the girl he has thought of countless times in his dreams have?

"It's not bitter. It's nice up in the mountains." Xiao Zhengze retorted lightly countless times. Every time he mentioned Yunwu Mountain, his mood would get better, showing the vitality that a young man of his age should have. "It's very interesting."

Although there are no high beds, soft pillows, delicious food, or groups of servants to bow their heads and make people happy,

But there is a warm-hearted and sincere person who treats him kindly regardless of his status.

Lao Ni Ni mentioned how he looked when he just returned from Yunwu Mountain. "Your Highness looked really good when he came down the mountain. His face was rosy and he was in good spirits. It's a pity that I didn't see what the young lady looked like, but from what Your Highness said, she was a very lively person."

Speaking of her, Xiao Zhengze's temper was very good. He nodded with a smile and said, "She is very energetic, as if she has endless energy. She doesn't need anyone to serve her in anything, and she also has to take care of me by the way."

His eyes were so gentle that tears were about to drip out of them. "She is like a stove, very warm..."

The unbearable itch in his throat interrupted his recollection. Xiao Zhengze raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and spoke intermittently while the old lady was helping him pat his chest.

"No, cough, cough...Okay, we can't just...see her like this! It's too embarrassing!"

He wanted to be as healthy as when he first separated from her. He wanted to see the surprise and amazement in her eyes and let her see that the little boy who was not even as tall as her had now grown up.

He also wanted her to fulfill her promise -

I hope she still remembers.

"Where is Doctor Xu waiting? Let him come and see me when I see His Majesty." He finally softened his attitude and the servant put a fox fur coat on him. Xiao Zhengze still had a frown on his face, but he didn't refuse in the end.

He lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and watched as they got closer and closer to the palace. He gently stroked his left chest with one hand, feeling his heartbeat getting more and more intense. He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Xiao Zhengze, you are really useless.

At this time, Lou Xiao still didn't know what would happen in the future. She was only concerned about her senior sister's safety, so she mingled with the secret guards and experienced in real time the dangers that a king would face.

Being an emperor is not easy...

Although the palace is well-equipped and the queen is always surrounded by people, assassins always appear unexpectedly.

She listened to the secret reports from below, that someone even dared to plan an assassination on Wanshou's day, but she had not yet figured out who the mastermind was and what the detailed plan was.

The Queen sneered, having expected this a long time ago, "I want to see who is so bold as to come and take my life!"

"Since we know someone is planning to assassinate us, we should immediately investigate thoroughly and catch them one by one and put them in jail before we die!"

Lou Xiao seemed to be much more worried than the empress. She had a gloomy face and some dignity that belonged to the position of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"Why are you informing us now? The birthday celebration will be held in a few days, and there must be no mistakes!!"

Seeing the servants quickly retreat, Lou Xiao turned around and said seriously, "Senior Sister, you already knew this, right?"

The queen held up her face with a smile in her eyes, "Which time are you talking about?"

Since she was born, so many people have wanted to kill her, yet she has come this far and sits on the supreme throne.

She had never been afraid, let alone now -
