"I appreciate the Regent's kindness, but this item is too valuable. Please take it back."

Wen Qingzhi pushed the thing over and said, "It's just a minor injury. It will heal soon after applying medicine."

Looking at the ointment that Wen Qingzhi pushed in front of him, the air pressure around Feng Junxiao dropped and he stared at the ointment motionlessly.

On the side, Chunyu lowered his head, glanced at the two of them cautiously, and couldn't help but quietly take two steps back.

The atmosphere was tense when there was a knock on the door. "Azhi, have you rested?"

It’s Zheng Lin.

Feng Junxiao turned his head to look at the door and narrowed his eyes.

the man.

I guess this person is a member of the Zheng family.

Wen Qingzhi subconsciously glanced at Feng Yunxiao and said casually, "No, please come in, brother."

Brother?

Feng Yunxiao looked at Wen Qingzhi again. She called him brother?

Chunyu opened the door and turned around to see Feng Yunxiao's black face. She was so scared that she hid aside.

Zheng Lin entered the room and was startled to see Feng Yunxiao sitting in front of him. Then he pretended to be confused and said to Wen Qingzhi, "Is Azhi meeting a guest?"

"…Um."

Wen Qingzhi gritted her teeth and agreed, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Zheng Lin took the snacks bought by Zheng Yue, smiled and nodded at Feng Junxiao as a greeting.

He handed the snack to Wen Qingzhi, "Yuer bought it and said it was for you, Tiantian."

His gaze fell on Wen Qingzhi's injured hand, and the pain in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Take care of the wound on your hand too. Don't let it get cold. It's cold out, and if you get frozen, you'll be in trouble."

The doting words sounded harsh to Feng Junxiao.

"It's out of the way."

Wen Qingzhi spoke indifferently and introduced Feng Junxiao to Zheng Lin.

"Brother, this is the Regent of Beiming."

How could Zheng Lin not know?

He was just pretending not to know her because his family had lived in Lingnan and didn't often come to the capital.

"Zheng Lin of the Lingnan Zheng family greets His Royal Highness the Regent."

Zheng Lin stepped forward and bowed. Feng Junxiao sat in his original position, leaning lazily against the back of his chair. After a long pause, he finally hummed and asked Zheng Lin to stand up.

"Lingnan Zheng Family..."

Feng Yunxiao spoke with disdain, "I heard that the Zheng family came to pick up Madam Baili. Why hasn't it been so long and they haven't returned yet?"

Zheng Lin smiled slightly, "I did come here to pick up my sister. But—"

He looked at Wen Qingzhi with a smile in his eyes, "Now that I have another sister, I thought about going back after the New Year so that we can be reunited as a family."

The reason they wanted to stay was because Zheng Yue said that Wen Qingzhi had not been reunited with her family for many years.

I stayed because I thought she might be looking forward to it.

Such ordinary words became harsh in Feng Yunxiao's ears.

What he heard was Zheng Lin bragging to him about being able to celebrate the New Year with Wen Qingzhi...

Feng Junxiao snorted coldly and stood up.

He glanced at Wen Qingzhi and said, "I'm afraid your wish will be dashed."

Zheng Lin looked up in confusion, but Wen Qingzhi knew exactly what he meant.

She may not be able to get through this year smoothly.

Zheng Lin quickly understood what Feng Junxiao meant.

He smiled and said, "It's still early in the New Year, so it's too early to say anything."

"Whether it's early or not, I know it clearly in my heart."

Feng Yunxiao became increasingly dissatisfied when he saw Wen Qingzhi took the snacks he sent but refused to accept his ointment.

"I will give you a quarter of an hour to pack your things and follow me into the palace."

"what?"

Wen Qingzhi didn't expect it to be so sudden. Looking at Feng Junxiao's unfriendly look, she said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't we agree on it..."

"Do you want to listen to me, or do you want to listen to me?"

Feng Junxiao spoke coldly. The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time. Wen Qingzhi asked Chunyu to inform Chang Yan.

"I need to pack my things."

After saying that, she looked at the two of them.

Zheng Lin was understanding and nodded at her, "I'll tell my mother and father."

After he left, Feng Junxiao said, "It's so cold outside, are you going to let me wait outside?"

"Your Highness may return home first."

Wen Qingzhi said coldly.

"Not happy?"

"Should I be happy?"

Every time Feng Junxiao came to see her, it was definitely something bad.

Wen Qingzhi seemed to have gotten used to being affected by Feng Junxiao's emotions. As long as he was around, he would always make her angry.

Seeing her unhappy and angry look, Feng Junxiao calmed down.

He sat back down and asked Chunyu to pour him a cup of hot tea. "When I came here, I didn't take a carriage."

The meaning was very clear. Wen Qingzhi paused and continued cleaning.

"Chunyu, go get the carriage, the big one."

she says.

"Yes."

Chunyu retreated with a twinkle in his eyes.

As soon as he stepped out, Zheng Lin came up to him and asked about the situation.

"Spring rain, inside——"

"Master Zheng, the Regent didn't come in a carriage. The lady asked me to prepare the carriage."

Chunyu finished speaking and left with his head down.

Zheng Lin stood there, looking into the house, his eyes gradually becoming cold.

If the news of a single man and a single woman being in the same room were to get out, Ah Zhi's reputation would be ruined.

This regent really doesn't treat others as human beings.

Chunyu is not here now, and there are only the two of them in the room. What should they do if something happens?

After thinking it over again and again, Zheng Lin walked towards Wen Qingzhi's room.

As they approached the door, Feng Junxiao's voice came from inside, "How confident are you about keeping the pregnancy safe?"

"If it's just about prenatal care, I have an 80% chance of success if the embryo develops normally and there are no malformations."

What she said couldn't be more obvious. It was not so easy to keep the concubine's child.

If it were only the concubines competing for favor, it would be easy.

But now, even the emperor doesn’t like her...what can she do?

Hearing this, Feng Junxiao remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"If the Regent cannot guarantee her safety, I cannot guarantee that I can hold her baby safely."

Both of them were smart people, and they understood what it meant without any further explanation.

After a long while, Feng Yunxiao said, "During the time you are in the palace, I will have my people cooperate with you to protect Little Fragrant Concubine."

"Little... Fragrant Concubine?"

Wen Qingzhi was stunned and thought of a TV series.

"Any questions?"

Feng Junxiao asked.

Wen Qingzhi shook her head, "No."

As they were talking, Zheng Lin came in from outside, just as Wen Qingzhi had packed her bags.

When Zheng Lin came in, he smiled at Feng Junxiao, walked to Wen Qingzhi's side, looked at her packed bag, and asked, "Have you packed it? Brother will give it to you."

Wen Qingzhi glanced at Feng Yunxiao and politely declined, "No, brother. I will be entering the palace with the Regent, and the affairs of the palace will be handed over to your family."

As she spoke, she picked up her bag and motioned Feng Junxiao to go out.

Zheng Lin threw her bag over himself and chuckled, "Let me do it."

Wen Qingzhi also noticed that Zheng Lin was a little abnormal, but she was in a hurry to leave and didn't say anything.

She was not willing to let Feng Junxiao stay in the house for a long time, and was always worried that something unexpected might happen.

The two of them hurried forward, quickly leaving Feng Yunxiao behind. "Lord Regent, we will wait for you in the carriage first."

Wen Qingzhi was afraid of the cold and didn't want to stay. After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Feng Yunxiao standing there, glaring at the two figures.

Very good, you dare to leave him behind!

Feng Yunxiao snorted coldly, turned around, jumped onto the roof, and left.

Wen Qingzhi and the other person waited in the carriage for a long time but did not see Feng Junxiao. After sending someone to check, they found out that he was gone.

Wen Qingzhi couldn't help but frown, knowing that she had offended Feng Junxiao again.

Zheng Lin didn't understand, but seeing Wen Qingzhi was unhappy, he also tried to comfort her, "Perhaps the Regent felt it would be too crowded to be with us, so he went ahead and waited for us at the palace gate."

"will not."

In this regard, Wen Qingzhi still felt that she knew Feng Junxiao well enough.

He would not be so generous as to wait at the palace gate.

There must be something that makes him unhappy, and he is waiting for me to come and apologize.

Sometimes, Wen Qingzhi felt that Feng Junxiao was just like a child. He would throw tantrums at the slightest provocation and had to be comforted, otherwise he would get into trouble.

Finally, Wen Qingzhi sighed, "Brother, you stay at the mansion. I'll go by myself."

"But--"

"It doesn't matter."

Wen Qingzhi smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes and eyebrows like the first melting winter snow, "I can handle this matter. If you go with me, it will only anger him and make things worse."

It can be seen that what Wen Qingzhi said is true.

Zheng Lin couldn't cause her any trouble. Life was already difficult for a young woman like her, so how could he cause her any more trouble?

He felt slightly dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to give up.

"Okay, then be careful on the road. If anything happens, send a message immediately and we can work together as a family to find a solution."
