Host, just obey. He loves the innocent male protagonist so much!

"Princess, what do you mean?"

Lin Hejin signaled the guards to withdraw and looked up at Lu Qizhi, who had an angry face.

"I want to ask the prince why I was imprisoned."

Lu Qizhi said coldly: "I am the prince's new princess, and now you have imprisoned me. What did I do wrong?"

"If this matter gets out, how will outsiders view me and the Yongxing Marquisate?"

Lin Hejin asked the guards to leave and close the door of the room.

The originally bright room was now somewhat dim. He looked at Lu Qizhi and said, "I wasn't imprisoning you. I was protecting you."

"Protection?" Lu Qizhi raised his eyebrows. "Your Highness, what are you still pretending for? The people who assassinated me last night were Feiying Guards, and aren't Feiying Guards your subordinates?"

Lin Hejin opened his mouth and wanted to explain to Lu Qizhi that there was a traitor in the Feiying Guard, but then another thought popped up in his mind: Why should I explain to him?

Lin Hejin swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and then said: "Since the princess does not need protection, I will withdraw the people."

Anyway, with Lu Qizhi's skills, he doesn't need protection.

After getting Lin Hejin's answer, Lu Qizhi nodded in satisfaction: "Also, I have to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother today."

"Why go to the palace to see that old... empress dowager?" Lin Hejin raised his eyes, his eyes full of confusion.

"You are a prince after all. You have been married so many times, but your bride is not allowed to meet her mother-in-law and pay her respects to her?"

"Nothing visible."

"No, you have to go!"

Lin Hejin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Qizhi: "Do you have other intentions?"

"What could I possibly be planning?" Lu Qizhi looked up at the sky with a guilty conscience. "I'm just doing what a princess should do."

Lin Hejin discovered him just as he was on his way to the study, and the system issued a side quest.

[Side Quest 1: "Abandoned Concubine in the Cold Palace"]

[Mission Content: Concubine Yun in the cold palace is about to die of illness. Please go there as soon as possible to save her.]

[Task Reward: 0.2 Luck Points.]

This inexplicable side quest suddenly appeared, leaving Lu Qizhi confused.

However, although the reward of luck points is small, this task is quite simple.

Adhering to the idea that even the smallest bit of meat is still meat, Lu Qizhi intends to complete this task.

I just happen to have an excuse to go to the palace today.

Lin Hejin looked at him and laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and get ready. Follow me into the palace to meet the Queen Mother!"

Lu Qizhi rolled his eyes at Lin Hejin.

"Do you really want to go?" Lin Hejin asked.

"Well, what else could I do? I am Song Yan, the gentle and virtuous lady, the epitome of a noble lady from an aristocratic family!"

Lu Qizhi used these words to shut Lin Hejin's mouth. After all, it was he who described Song Yan in this way that had arranged this marriage.

"In that case, then go." Lin Hejin looked at him, "But if you die in the palace, you can't blame me."

"The palace is much more dangerous than my palace."

Lu Qizhi curled his lips and disagreed.

Lin Hejin changed his clothes and was pushed out by Lin Yun.

Sitting in the carriage heading to the palace, Lin Hejin closed his eyes and took a nap, but Lu Qizhi kept pulling open the curtain of the sedan chair and looking out.

"Be quiet."

Lin Hejin couldn't help but frown, opened his eyes and looked at Lu Qizhi.

How come you don't have any girlish dignity?!

Lu Qizhi turned around and looked at Lin Hejin, then ignored him and continued looking outside.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop the car!"

Suddenly, Lu Qizhi shouted, and then Lin Hejin saw Lu Qizhi rushing out.

Lin Hejin: “?”

Didn’t you say you wanted to enter the palace?
