Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

Ji Xingyao was not intimidated. She replied swiftly, "I don't know why, but whenever I see Your Majesty, I think of the water in the pool. A chill seeps through my bones, blocking my throat and making it impossible to speak."

Speaking of the pool, Li Heng thought of the broken double-moon jade pendant and his face suddenly darkened.

He flicked his sleeves and walked towards the inner hall on his own.

"Prince Ruiping." Eunuch Zhou called him.

"What's the matter?"

Eunuch Zhou whispered, "The Emperor is not seeing anyone at the moment."

Li Heng narrowed his eyes and said, "This prince has important matters to attend to. It concerns Minister Yao."

Eunuch Zhou naturally knew the purpose of Li Heng's visit. Since yesterday, nine out of ten people who asked to see the emperor were here for this matter.

"Your Highness, please come again tomorrow." Eunuch Zhou bent respectfully and guarded the gate of Suhe Hall.

A gust of wind blew, and in the corridor, two people who had been turned away suddenly looked at each other tacitly.

Unable to see the emperor, Li Heng's attention returned to Ling'er.

"What do you want to do with the emperor?"

Ji Xingyao didn't want to pay attention to him, but in front of Eunuch Zhou, she couldn't go too far, so she could only repeat the lie.

"Is the Queen's sister-in-law dizzy? I'll go check it out."

Li Heng's overreaction left Ji Xingyao stunned for a moment.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go." Li Heng turned around and glared at her, then walked towards Yonghe Palace without stopping with his 1.9-meter-long legs.

Damn, having long legs is a big deal, but what’s the use of having long legs?

Ji Xingyao jogged to catch up with him, cursing in his heart.

In the past, when she liked Li Heng, she loved his tiger back, wasp waist and mantis legs.

Now, she followed behind, panting, wishing she could chop off a section of the leg.

In the warm spring sun, figures, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind, step on the blue bricks of the palace wall, with their skirts fluttering as they chase the inky figure in front.

When the two returned to Yonghe Palace, Ji Xingyao was sweating all over.

She habitually prepared to wipe her sweat with a handkerchief, but then she remembered that she had used the handkerchief to hold the fragments of the Double Moon Ring Star, and it had disappeared since then.

Helplessly, she wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, ran into the house and gulped down a cup of tea.

The weather was getting warmer, and Yonghe Palace was some distance away from Suhe Hall. She was so hot going back and forth.

"The emperor's sister-in-law, the emperor's sister-in-law."

After Li Heng entered Yonghe Palace, he looked for Wen Yuan everywhere.

Wen Yuan was reading in the study when she heard the noise and came out with her belly bulging. "Prince Ruiping, why are you here?"

"Sister-in-law, how do you feel now? Are you still dizzy?"

Dizziness?

Wen Yuan didn't understand what Li Heng meant for a moment. She was fine, so why did he bring up the issue of dizziness? But Li Heng's concerned look was genuine. There was only one possibility, that was Ji Xingyao said it on purpose.

Wen Yuan immediately understood Ji Xingyao's intention. She rubbed her temples and said wearily, "I felt very dizzy just now, but I feel much better now."

When Li Heng heard this, his tense expression finally relaxed.

"Let the imperial physician come and take a look." Li Heng advised.

"No need, I'm fine."

Seeing that her face was rosy and she looked fine except for her weak voice, Li Heng did not insist any longer.

Wen Yuan looked at him and suddenly asked:

"Prince Ruiping, do you know about the murder of Minister Yao?"

"know."

"I heard the murderer is Minister Xu?"

Li Heng didn't hide anything from Wen Yuan: "I don't think so."

The few questions Wen Yuan asked just now were just to test Li Heng, but she didn't expect that his thoughts were the same as theirs.

"But I heard that the Censor has determined that Minister Xu is the murderer."

Li Heng frowned: "There is something hidden in this matter."

"Prince Ruiping, please come in and discuss. Ling'er, pour the tea."

"Yes, ma'am."

Li Heng was flattered by Wen Yuan's courteous treatment.

Ever since Ji Xingyao's death, Wen Yuan believed in his heart that he was the murderer and never had a good face towards him.

For the past six months, Wen Yuan had never taken the initiative to meet him. It was always him who shamelessly came to the palace to look for her. When they did meet, he was as indifferent and distant as a stranger.

The long-lost warmth made Li Heng feel a little restrained, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Wen Yuan took a sip of tea leisurely, chatted with Li Heng about some irrelevant things, and then got straight to the point.
