Shen Qionghua and Luo Xiyao washed up, tidied up their appearance, and then got on the carriage to the palace.

After a while, they arrived at Fengyi Palace where the queen lived.

The head maid Arno came out quickly and welcomed Shen Qionghua and Luo Xiyao in.

Inside Fengyi Palace.

The queen was dressed in a bright red palace dress, with appropriate makeup on her face and a luxurious and dazzling phoenix crown on her head. She sat upright on the phoenix chair, looking graceful, dignified and elegant.

Princess Yongle had changed her usual flamboyant demeanor, wearing a pink and blue palace dress and sitting obediently to the lower left of the empress.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

Shen Qionghua and Luo Xiyao bowed together.

A kind voice came from above, "Princess Pingning, Princess Jialin, please stand up quickly."

"Yes, thank you, Queen."

Shen Qionghua took the opportunity to stand up and quickly glanced around, and then his heart sank.

Even with just a glance, she could see clearly that among the attendants around her, there were two young eunuchs who looked particularly familiar.

When there was a food shortage at the border, she went to the Taiji Hall when she entered the palace to meet the emperor, and she also met these two people.

These two people are obviously not from Fengyi Palace, they should be working in Taiji Hall.

Shen Qionghua's mind was racing, but her expression showed nothing. However, she was speechless when she inadvertently met Princess Yongle's gaze.

Princess Yongle seemed to have softened a lot. Although she still looked cold, she was much better than the arrogant and domineering look she had in the palace.

Shen Qionghua was surprised at the change in Princess Yongle, but she couldn't care about anything else at this moment. She was just alert and paid full attention to answer the Queen's questions.

"I summoned you two to the palace because I heard that Prince Rui vomited blood in the palace yesterday, and I want to know more."

"I heard that you two have been taking care of Prince Rui in the palace. You have worked so hard. How is Prince Rui's health now? What did Wu Yuanzheng say?"

The Queen seemed to be really concerned about Prince Rui's health, and her face was filled with anxiety.

Luo Xiyao did not notice anything unusual in Fengyi Palace. She thought that the sun had risen from the west today and that the queen summoned her into the palace because she was really concerned about her cousin's health, so she answered seriously word by word.

As for the fact that the Queen's brows did not relax after she finished speaking, Luo Xiyao was not surprised. After all, her cousin's physical condition sounded really worrying.

The Queen took a deep breath, glanced at Princess Yongle beside her, and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, it's not just me, Yongle is also very concerned about my brother's health."

Princess Yongle was suddenly called by the Queen. She felt a little confused, but she still followed the Queen's words and nodded obediently.

Now, Luo Xiyao finally noticed the change in this arrogant and domineering princess, and the astonishment on her face could not be concealed.

Perhaps her behavior was too obvious, so the Queen brought it up jokingly, "Speaking of which, Yongle was once a bit naughty and ignorant. When he was young, he had some conflicts with Princess Jialin. I beg Princess Jialin to forgive me. Yongle, why don't you apologize to Princess Jialin quickly?"

Luo Xiyao curled her lips almost imperceptibly.

Was she considered young two years ago? Princess Yongle and Qionghua are not much different in age, so the Queen has the nerve to ask such a question.

But after all, she is the queen and the legitimate princess, so it is better to have this intention than not to have it at all.

Princess Yongle was a little confused, but she was used to listening to the Queen, so she did whatever the Queen told her to do.

Luo Xiyao saw that she actually stood up and walked in front of Shen Qionghua.

Luo Xiyao had no idea what Shen Qionghua was thinking, but she herself felt her hair stand on end, fearing that the arrogant Princess Yongle would get angry and pull out a whip from her sleeve to hit Shen Qionghua in the face.

However, what Luo Xiyao worried about did not happen.

Princess Yongle walked up to Shen Qionghua, bowed slightly, and said, "Princess Jialin, I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

Shen Qionghua was stunned for a moment, then looked at Luo Xiyao and clearly saw the horror in her eyes.

Then she quickly stood up and replied cautiously, "Princess Yongle, you are too polite. If the Empress hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten about that incident."

The Queen seemed very pleased that Princess Yongle could do this. She looked at Shen Qionghua and said, "Don't be nervous. She did something wrong, and that's what she deserves."

Shen Qionghua had no idea what the Queen was up to, and was wary in her heart, but pretended to be shy and grateful on the surface.

The Queen's eyes flickered, and she continued, "Come to think of it, Princess Jialin has been working hard to take care of Prince Rui. Do you go to Prince Rui's mansion every day?"

Shen Qionghua knelt slightly and replied respectfully, "To answer your Majesty, yes."

Luo Xiyao was afraid that the Queen would take this opportunity to lash out and accuse Shen Qionghua of being indecent, so she quickly said, "It's my father. He's worried about His Royal Highness Prince Rui, so he asked me to look after him in Prince Rui's mansion. I'm a little overwhelmed by the workload, and since Princess Jialin and Prince Rui are already engaged, there's no need to be too cautious, so I asked her to help look after Prince Rui."

"Your Majesty knows that this marriage was personally arranged by Prince Rui. I think that seeing Princess Jialin will improve Prince Rui's mood and perhaps help him recover faster."

"I saved it." The queen said with a faint smile on her face, but there was a cold light hidden in the depths of her eyes.

In the following time, the Queen seemed to be very concerned about Prince Rui, and she kept asking questions and giving instructions to Shen Qionghua and Luo Xiyao.

She seemed to talk the most with Luo Xiyao, but only the queen herself knew that her attention was on Shen Qionghua...

……

Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shunquan hurried into the hall. Xie Rong's deep voice came from the dragon throne, "Entering the palace?"

Li Shunquan tensed up and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Pingning and Princess Jialin are already in the Queen's Palace."

Xie Rong hummed calmly, and the moment he opened his eyes, a fierce feeling passed through him. He stood up and said quietly, "Let's go, let's leave the palace. It's time for me to go see Yuan'er."

Everything is about to end...
