Fu Ci was slightly taken aback, but when he looked up and saw Liang Qiuli's radiant smile, he nodded as if possessed.

He wanted to stay by her side.

"it is good."

Liang Qiuli could tell from Fu Ci's voice that it had changed from deep to hoarse that he was restraining himself.

"Zishuang, go tell someone that Fu Ciyun Pavilion wants this, and also take all the plum blossoms with us, let's go back."

Liang Qiuli glanced at Zishuang, who was also stunned to the side. Zishuang instantly snapped out of her daze, picked up the plum blossoms, and turned to walk towards the maids waiting not far away.

After giving a few instructions, he came back with a cloak.

"Master, your shoes are wet, then..."

Zi Shuang was somewhat at a loss, after all, they hadn't prepared these embroidered shoes when they went out.

"No problem."

Liang Qiuli lowered her head and looked at Fu Ci in front of her.

……

Cloud Pavilion.

Liang Qiuli looked at Fu Ci, who was still kneeling at her feet, changing her shoes, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.

She had Fu Ci carry her back because her shoes were wet.

As for the fact that it would be bad if others saw it, or even if it reached the Crown Prince.

With the system in place, it shouldn't be a problem to fool them once or twice.

"How about you stay by my side and serve me from now on?"

Liang Qiuli picked up a plum blossom branch from a low table, gently lifted Fu Ci's chin, made him look up, and looked into his eyes as she spoke.

Fu Ci felt the snow water on the plum blossoms, the cool sensation as it touched her face, but her heart was burning with passion.

Is he overthinking this? What does she mean by "serve"?

But Consort Liang is favored by the Crown Prince and deeply in love with him, a fact known to everyone in the Eastern Palace. Is he overthinking things?

"If you don't want to, then forget it."

Liang Qiuli looked at Fu Ci for a long time without speaking, her expression changed, she put away the plum blossom branch and leaned back on the soft couch.

Fu Cixin panicked, afraid of missing this opportunity, and said anxiously.

"My lady, I am willing!"

"That's right. Here, take these flowers. You may leave now. From now on, I'll follow Zishuang's arrangements."

Liang Qiuli was in a great mood. She thought that Fu Ci's fair skin was a perfect match for the bright red plum blossoms, so she rewarded him with a plum blossom.

He then waved his hand and dismissed the person.

She still has important business to attend to, instead of indulging in lust.

Fu Ci thought that after agreeing, he would be able to see Liang Qiuli a few more times, but he didn't expect to be sent away by her immediately.

Although he was a little uneasy, he dared not show it on his face. He simply lowered his head and retreated. But when he saw the plum blossom in his hand, he felt that he had gained Liang Qiuli's approval.

"You will stay here from now on. When the master gives the order, he will summon you."

Zi Shuang arranged a single room for Fu Ci after Liang Qiuli's instructions. That was a room reserved for those who served the master personally. He was just good-looking, so why did he get to stay in a single room?

Therefore, when speaking to Fu Ci, his tone was not very polite.

After routinely leading the person to the room, she left, citing the need to serve her master.

Fu Ci didn't think there was anything wrong with Zi Shuang's attitude.

You should know that a lowly eunuch like him would have to live in a large dormitory in the Plum Garden. He only got a room for four people because of his good looks.

Unexpectedly, he is now living in a single room reserved for stewards, so it's understandable that Zi Shuang disapproves of him.

However, as long as he takes good care of Liang Qiuli afterward, everything will be resolved.

……

"Master, why are you so kind to that Fu Ci?"

Zi Shuang helped Liang Qiuli process the plum blossoms, trimming some of them and inserting them into vases, while removing the petals from others to dry them for later use when the weather was better.

She said this with a hint of jealousy.

"It's pleasing to the eye and puts me in a good mood. Okay, you'll always be my most useful person, don't worry."

Liang Qiuli was surprised that Zishuang was actually jealous, and said with a smile.

No way.

"However, my lord, I've inquired and found out that His Highness the Crown Prince did come to the Plum Garden today, but he ran into a palace maid, which is why you didn't see him."

Zishuang would never do anything against her master's wishes. As long as the talisman could please her master, she was happy to stay in a single room.

However, this Crown Prince is really too much. He didn't even inform their master before he was leaving, leaving their master to wait in vain and get their shoes and socks wet.

Thinking about it this way, Fu Ci seems much more pleasing to the eye.

……

Dongji Hall.

The Crown Prince carried Zhao Yunmin and hurried back to the Dongji Palace.

The moment they stepped into the main hall, they were turned around and headed to a side hall.

"Imperial Physician, come quickly and take a look."

The Crown Prince placed Zhao Yunmin face down on the couch, then hurriedly addressed the imperial physician who had followed him in.

"Yes."

The imperial physician hurriedly stepped forward to take her pulse, and the pulse...

The imperial physician frowned. Although the woman's back wound looked dangerous, it was actually nothing serious. After applying the medicine, it wouldn't even leave a scar.

It's even less likely to cause someone to faint from excessive blood loss.

But if the person hasn't woken up yet, then there's only one possibility.

Pretend to faint.

The imperial physician looked at Zhao Yunmin and then at the crown prince, his mind racing with conflicting thoughts. Should he report the truth?

"Imperial Physician, how is Amin? Is something wrong?"

The Crown Prince noticed the strange expression on the imperial physician's face and had no suspicion that Amin would lie to him and fake her fainting spell. After all, in his heart, Amin was such a kind and gentle woman, how could she do such a thing?

When the imperial physician saw that the crown prince was pressing him for an answer, he knew how to respond.

"Your Highness, this young lady fainted because she was weakened by the whip, but she will wake up soon."

As for whether to apply it externally or take it internally, it definitely won't leave a scar.

After hearing this, the Crown Prince nodded, relieved that Amin was alright.

Afterwards, he ordered someone to come in and apply medicine and change clothes for Amin.

Just then, he suddenly realized that no one had told Liang Qiuli yet. Was she still foolishly waiting for him in the plum garden? That was something she would do.

After the medicine was applied and the clothes were changed, the Crown Prince wanted Zhao Yunmin to rest well, and was also worried about Liang Qiuli. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Zhao Yunmin, who had been pretending to faint, slowly opened her eyes.

"Your Highness, where am I...?"

Zhao Yunmin's voice was somewhat weak as she reached out to grab the Crown Prince.

It felt like her wound had been aggravated, and she hissed softly in pain.

But she didn't stop raising her hand, and the garment that was lightly draped behind her slipped down to the waist.

Her unblemished, snow-white skin was exposed before the Crown Prince, igniting a burning passion within him, and he once again forgot all about Liang Qiuli.

“Amin, I am here.”

The Crown Prince took Zhao Yunmin's hands and gently stroked them upwards, his eyes filled with guilt and longing.

Zhao Yunmin naturally noticed this as well, and she was overjoyed. She was so lucky to be able to conceive the Crown Prince's child on her very first day at the Dongji Palace. If she could give the child to the Crown Princess to raise, it would be a way for her to repay the Crown Prince's kindness.

Zhao Yunmin had many thoughts in her mind, but she pretended to be clueless. She even tried to pull her hand out of the crown prince's hand.

But he opened his mouth and said...

"Your Highness, this servant..."

Hearing that Amin's voice sounded even softer because of her illness, the Crown Prince's desire was instantly aroused.

He didn't care whether Zhao Yunmin had any injuries on her back, and tore off her clothes.
