"Don't want to?" Li Heng raised an eyebrow: "Then forget it."

"Yes, yes." Ji Xingyao said quickly, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

Ji Xingyao clenched her fists reluctantly. Along the way, she kept thinking about whether she should put some laxative in the hangover soup so that Li Heng would have to go to the toilet all day.

Her ideas were very rich, but the reality was very harsh. She was unfamiliar with the place and couldn't find a laxative for a while.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law had already gotten up, so the sobering soup was ready without Ji Xingyao having to do anything.

When the sobering soup was brought to the study, Li Heng was reading the secret letter.

"Your Highness, the hangover soup is here."

"Ah."

After Li Heng drank the sobering soup, the pain in his head finally eased a little.

As soon as he put down the bowl, Ji Xingyao couldn't wait to ask, "Your Highness, now that you've finished your soup, could you please tell me how Minister Xu is doing now? Is he injured?"

Li Heng didn't keep her hanging any longer and said bluntly, "Minister Xu is fine, but he can't leave the prison for the time being."

"why?"

Since he didn't kill anyone, why not release him?

"This is a secret. The more you know, the worse it will be for you. Go back to the palace and tell the Empress Dowager that there is no need to worry. Minister Xu's life is not in danger."

After receiving Li Heng's affirmative answer, Ji Xingyao finally put his worries at ease.

"Please allow me to ask one more question. Will this matter affect Minister Xu's career?"

Li Heng raised his eyelids and glanced at her: "You don't want to marry him, so why do you care about his career?"

Ji Xingyao choked.

Li Heng waved at her and said, "Alright, go down now. Return to the palace as soon as possible and don't let the Empress Dowager worry."

Ji Xingyao got the answer he wanted and was eager to leave, as if no one would want to stay here.

"My lord, take your leave."

After Taoxi got up, she didn't see Ling'er, so she looked for her everywhere in the palace.

She searched and shouted, which startled Li Heng who was in the study.

"What are you shouting about? She's gone."

"Ah? Sister Ling'er agreed with me last night to have breakfast together, why did she leave without saying a word?" Tao Xi was very annoyed and blamed herself for sleeping too deeply and not hearing Ling'er getting up.

Li Heng noticed Tao Xi's unusual enthusiasm for Ling Er, so he asked, "Do you like her very much?"

"Yeah, I like it." Tao Xi nodded vigorously.

"Why?" Li Heng felt strange. This girl was obviously not docile at all. She had a stubborn personality and liked to go against him.

"Your Highness, haven't you noticed?" Tao Xi said mysteriously, "Miss Ling'er smells very similar to the Princess."

After Tao Xi reminded him, Li Heng indeed had the same feeling.

The body shape, eyes and even the smell are similar.

An indescribable strangeness flowed through Li Heng's body, and he felt as if there was an invisible and intangible rope holding him back.

It was almost noon when Master Huang got up yawning.

Yesterday, King Ruiping took him to the princess's tomb, and he discovered many strange things.

Especially last night, although he was drunk, he was sure that he had seen someone from another world.

Master Huang slapped his face hard, changed his usual lazy and wandering state, and went straight to the study of Prince Ruiping.

"Master Huang." Tao Xi was holding a fruit plate and saw a yellow shadow coming from afar. While he was calling his name, Master Huang disappeared around the corner ahead.

"Wow, Master Huang runs really fast." Tao Xi was impressed by Master Huang's brisk pace, as he was used to his lazy appearance.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Before seeing the person, one could hear his voice. Mr. Huang's voice was so loud that it startled Li Heng who was working in the office.

His study is really lively today, with people coming and going.

Master Huang entered the house and suddenly stopped. He flared his nostrils and sniffed hard, and indeed he smelled the lingering scent of another world.

He walked around the study like a headless fly, sniffing everywhere.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Li Heng put down his brush and stood up.

"There is a breath of another world in the room."

"What!" Li Heng stumbled and knocked over the vase on the table in his panic.

Ignoring the debris beneath his feet, Li Heng grabbed Master Huang's robe and asked, "What did you just say?"

Huang Dashi's face was serious, his eyes shining: "Your Majesty, who has been in this room?"
