"I'm sorry, His Majesty has sent people to monitor me recently. I want to come to see you, so I have no choice but to do this!" Bian Jingsheng explained while standing outside the boudoir.

Although Zhu Qing'an was frightened at first, he felt relieved when he found out that the person coming was Bian Jingsheng.

"But what does Your Majesty suspect?" Zhu Qing'an invited Bian Jingsheng to sit down, asked Fu Guang to keep watch, and asked Wangshu to make tea.

"Recently, I have secretly lost some troops. Although I concealed it very well, Your Majesty should be on guard and has become somewhat suspicious of me! But I did this deliberately to alert the enemy, so that Your Majesty will not pay too much attention to the Queen Mother and allow her to detoxify properly!" Bian Jingsheng brought over the tea.

Compared to the simple tea in his own mansion, he knew that the tea in Wen'an Marquis Mansion was good tea just by smelling it.

He was a rough man and didn't know much about tea like the young masters of aristocratic families. He only knew that this tea had a refreshing fragrance and a bitter aftertaste.

"That's good. Your Highness should also be careful!" Zhu Qing'an said with concern.

Now she knew that only when Bian Jingsheng ascended the throne would the Wen'an Marquisate and even her aunt rest easy, so Zhu Qing'an hoped more than anyone else that Bian Jingsheng would be safe.

Zhu Qing'an's concern made the tea in his mouth seem to become more and more comfortable. In order to hide his greed for Zhu Qing'an, he couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

However, his action caused Zhu Qing'an to misunderstand.

"This tea is Luzhou Lu'an tea. It looks like melon seeds and is named after its flake shape. It is the only tea in the world without buds or stems. It has a straight and complete appearance, emerald green color, and a noble aroma. I'll have someone pack some and send it to the Prince of Loyalty's Palace later!" Zhu Qing'an introduced slowly.

Bian Jingsheng couldn't help but be fascinated by what he heard. He had never been interested in these things. He used to think that as long as the tea was drinkable, it was fine.

But Zhu Qingan's voice was low and soft, his voice was soft but not sticky, clear and clean, giving people a refreshing and comfortable feeling.

Knowing that Zhu Qingan had misunderstood, Bian Jingsheng did not intend to explain and just thanked him.

"I heard that the princess has been spending a lot of time reading medical books these days. The princess must take care of herself. I have already asked Miss Yang. The empress dowager's poison has been under control. Miss Yang has fought for it for a long time. The princess must also take care of herself!" Bian Jingsheng said, glancing at Zhu Qing'an.

The long skirt concealed Zhu Qingan's exquisite figure. He knew better than anyone how seductive the body beneath the long skirt was.

Just thinking about it, Bian Jingsheng found that his breath was a little unstable, and he quickly took another big sip of tea to quench his anger.

But now, Zhu Qing'an seemed to have lost some weight, and his complexion was not as rosy as before.

Bian Jingsheng's concern made Zhu Qing'an purse her lips a little uncomfortable. Now that she knew Bian Jingsheng's feelings, she didn't know how to face Bian Jingsheng.

What should have been rejected has been rejected, but for various reasons, the two cannot stop seeing each other.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine!" Zhu Qing'an answered dryly. She was already thinking in her heart that if there was nothing else, she should politely send the guest away.

"You've lost a lot of weight!" Bian Jingsheng's eyes were full of worry.

But when these words came out, Bian Jingsheng was stunned, and Zhu Qingan was also stunned. After all, these words were really beyond the limit, after all, the two were a man and a woman.

Zhu Qing'an avoided his gaze, but Bian Jingsheng coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject.

"Since the ethereal fairy grass appears on Binghan Island, I will send people to Binghan Island!" When Bian Jingsheng mentioned the business, his expression became much more solemn, especially since this matter concerned the safety of the Queen Mother.

Zhu Qing'an nodded. She knew that the people around Bian Jingsheng were very skilled in martial arts, and she should leave this matter to Bian Jingsheng. However, she was still worried and was afraid that something might happen.

"I think I should go there in person!" Zhu Qing'an suggested.

"Nonsense!"

Not surprisingly, Bian Jingsheng strongly denied this statement. Bian Jingsheng also felt that his tone seemed a little harsh, so he quickly softened it.

"I know you're worried about the Queen Mother, but Binghan Island is fraught with danger. A girl like you wouldn't be able to withstand the weather! Don't worry, I'll have my men retrieve the Ethereal Immortal Grass!"

Zhu Qing'an knew Bian Jingsheng's abilities, and also knew that what Bian Jingsheng said was true. She spoke like this not out of willfulness, but because she had her own considerations.

"I understand what the prince said, but I want to go to Binghan Island in person because it is recorded in medical books that people who are poisoned by Shuangjue will have a keen sense of Kongling Immortal Grass that others do not have. It can be said that the poison in my body can allow me to discover Kongling Immortal Grass more quickly!" Zhu Qing'an spoke sincerely.

If it weren't for this, she also understood that asking Bian Jingsheng to send someone to look for it would be more effective. However, the medical books clearly recorded that if a person was poisoned by two extreme poisons, he would be able to sense the ethereal fairy grass from a long distance. This was also the reason why Zhu Qing'an was so determined.

"We can't trust everything recorded in medical books. How could such a fantasy thing exist?" Bian Jingsheng retorted.

"Yes! I have never heard of such a strange thing, but what if it is true? If I can really sense the ethereal fairy grass, and if I miss it, I am afraid I will never be able to let it go in my life!" Zhu Qing'an's eyes were full of anxiety, and he took a deep breath. "I understand the prince's concerns and worries, but I can't stay in the mansion waiting for news without knowing that I have a chance to find the ethereal fairy grass! You should know that I am not that kind of person!"

Zhu Qing'an's words made Bian Jingsheng unusually silent.

He looked at Zhu Qing'an quietly, his temples throbbing, and then he let out a heavy sigh and took a deep breath.

He naturally knew Zhu Qing'an's personality. He had been secretly eavesdropping and watching her for years, and knew that although she looked soft on the outside, she was a person with her own ideas in her heart, and she was also stubborn.

Since she could say that, she must have made up her mind the moment she saw the medical book. Fortunately, she was willing to tell me her thoughts first. Does this also mean that I have a slightly different opinion in her heart?

Moreover, Bian Jingsheng asked himself, if he knew there was such a glimmer of hope, he would go there in person. But that person was Zhu Qingan, and he was too concerned about her to be able to concentrate on her.

After all, in his heart, Zhu Qing'an is always the most important.

"The journey to the Ice Island is long and there will surely be countless hardships! And the closer you get to the Ice Island, the colder it will be. You are afraid of cold, so how are you going to resist it?" Bian Jingsheng spoke earnestly, full of worry for Zhu Qing'an.

The worry in Zhu Qing'an's eyes when she looked at Jingsheng was so real that it couldn't help but touch her heart.

There are not many people in this world who care about themselves so much, and Bian Jingsheng is one of them.

"I'm not afraid. I'm not as fragile as you think! Believe me!" Zhu Qing'an's voice was already pleading, and his tone became softer.

As expected, Bian Jingsheng felt a little overwhelmed by her appearance. He knew he should continue to persuade her, but he couldn't.

"You! Do you want me to be a lobbyist and ask the Queen Mother and Marquis Wen'an to allow you to go?" Although Bian Jingsheng was asking, his words were firm.

Although he knew that Zhu Qing'an was using him, Bian Jingsheng couldn't get angry at all. He even felt quite proud that Zhu Qing'an had spent so much effort to use him.

"Nothing can be hidden from the prince's discerning eyes!" Zhu Qing'an smiled a little guiltily, then stood up and personally made tea for Bian Jingsheng, holding the teacup in both hands and handing it to him. "The prince is wise. With the prince's advice, I'm sure my aunt and father will agree to my request!"

Bian Jingsheng took the teacup, and his fingertips touched Zhu Qingan's fingers and then separated, but the gentle touch still made Bian Jingsheng dazed.

The sweetheart he had been thinking about spoke softly and smiled apologetically, and Bian Jingsheng's heart had long been bewildered. Not to mention agreeing to her request, even if he was asked to do something excessive, he would just agree.

"The princess really knows how to flatter me!" Although Bian Jingsheng said this, he drank the tea.

Zhu Qing'an knew there was something going on at first sight, and a lively smile appeared on the corner of his brow, like a kitten stealing some fish.

"I'm not flattering the prince, the prince himself is great!" Zhu Qing'an flattered him.

It has to be said that even Bian Jingsheng couldn't escape the feeling of being praised as amazing by his beloved woman. He immediately felt extremely proud.

Thousands of words came out of my mouth, but in the end they just turned into sighs.

"I will speak to the Queen Mother and Marquis Wen'an on your behalf, but I can't guarantee that they will agree to your move!"

"As long as Your Highness can help me, I will be very grateful! I believe Your Highness will succeed!" Zhu Qing'an began to flatter again.

It wasn't that she was deliberately flattering him, but she truly believed that Bian Jingsheng had such ability. Her aunt treated Bian Jingsheng like herself, and her father valued Bian Jingsheng very much. With him as a mediator, she didn't have to beg her aunt and father.

"I helped the princess. I wonder if she can agree to one of my requests?" Bian Jingsheng looked at Zhu Qing'an's smiling face and couldn't help but relax.

He always had strategies in his military operations, but when facing Zhu Qing'an, he didn't want to make any calculations, but there were some things he still wanted to fight for.

"Your Highness, this is a serious matter. Please just tell me what's going on!" Zhu Qing'an asked in surprise, not knowing how he could help Bian Jingsheng.

"We have known each other for a long time. I wonder if you could let me call you by your name like a good friend, and you don't have to call me Prince!" Bian Jingsheng took the opportunity to put forward his request.

He always felt that he could be closer to Zhu Qing'an, even if it was just a name, he had been hoping for it for a long time.

Last time, when Zhu Qing'an was helpless, he had the audacity to call her name, but now he wanted to call her name openly, instead of being so unfamiliar as to call her Princess.

Zhu Qing'an hesitated for a moment. He didn't expect that Bian Jingsheng would make such a request.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for men and women to call each other by their first names, but most of them are good friends or relatives, or unmarried men and women who love each other.

It's not that she doesn't know what Bian Jingsheng meant, and she should have refused, but she had just tricked Bian Jingsheng, and now that Bian Jingsheng made such a small request, if she refused, it would seem a bit mean.

What's more, it's just a name. If she thinks too much about it, it will seem like she is being too sentimental.

"Okay!" Zhu Qing'an agreed.

"Qing'an?" Bian Jingsheng called Zhu Qing'an's name.

For some reason, many people called her name, but only when this name came out of Bian Jingsheng's mouth did Zhu Qing'an feel unnatural. She always felt that when he called her name, there was too much tenderness in it.

Zhu Qing'an just smiled, and Bian Jingsheng struck while the iron was hot, "Qing'an, why don't you call me?"

"Heh..." Zhu Qingan said dryly, "Jingsheng?"

As soon as this voice came out, Bian Jingsheng's mouth corners rose uncontrollably, but then he was afraid that he would not appear solemn enough, so he forced himself to suppress the smile.

When Bian Jingsheng left the Hou Mansion, he was so proud of himself.

If someone didn't know, they would have thought that a good thing had happened. However, they didn't know that just because Zhu Qing'an called his name, he could be so arrogant. Chuan Gu and Chuan Bai couldn't bear to look at him.

Both Bian Jingsheng and Shui Tingfeng were looking for Binghan Island. One of them had a powerful influence, and the other had made friends with all kinds of people, so they soon found the address of Binghan Island.

Zhu Qing'an even had people prepare a lot of travel gifts, and even made a point of exercising every morning.

She was waiting for good news from Bian Jingsheng so that she could set off for Binghan Island immediately. The longer she delayed, the more anxious she became.

However, before she could receive good news from Bian Jingsheng, she was invited to the study by her father.

Zhu Qing'an had a bad feeling. Her father had been busy and had disappeared these days. She knew that her father was worried about her aunt's poison, and at the same time, he was trying to help Bian Jingsheng privately in the court as a civil servant.

"Father..." Zhu Qing'an walked into the study, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at his father.

Marquis Wen'an didn't say anything. Zhu Qing'an was very nervous. He walked to his father and carefully pulled off his father's clothes.

"Father..."

She originally thought that her father would scold her to death, but Marquis Wen An just sighed and didn't say any words of blame.

"You have always had big ideas. I know I can't persuade you at all, but I am really worried about you going to Binghan Island!" Wen Anhou reached out and touched his daughter's head.

"Don't worry, father. I will protect myself and bring back the ethereal fairy grass!" Zhu Qing'an promised.

"You, what if your father doesn't agree to you?" Wen Anhou smiled, and had to swallow all his worries.

"If father really doesn't agree, I'll run away!" Zhu Qing'an said with a smile.

Marquis Wen'an knew that his daughter was not joking. He also understood how stubborn his daughter was. That was why, no matter how worried he was, he had no choice but to agree.

"I really can't control you!" Wen Anhou said lovingly.

"I thought my father would persuade me, but I didn't expect you to agree to my request!" Zhu Qing'an was a little curious. After all, she knew very well how much her father cared about her.

"What can I do if I don't agree? What's more, the King of Loyalty will accompany you this time. With him around, I feel more at ease!" Marquis Wen'an sighed.

He did not tell his daughter how King Zhongyi had promised him that as long as he was alive, he would protect his daughter.
