Because he has a guilty conscience.

Ever since his failed assassination attempt on Luo Qianmo that day, he often recalled the events of that day, always feeling that Luo Qianmo seemed to recognize him and knew that it was he who had attacked him.

I wonder if Luo Qianmo recognized him or not.

Of course, he was afraid that Luo Qianmo would recognize him. If his father knew about these things, he probably wouldn't let him off the hook.

At that time, his father would probably hate him to death, so how could he possibly pass the throne to him?

"Haha, wasn't I worried about you, brother? Now that I see you're back, I'm relieved."

Luo Qianmo subtly curled the corners of his lips, clearly smiling, but Luo Qianhao felt that the smile was chillingly cold.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother. Now that I'm back, you can finally sleep peacefully."

Luo Qianhao's gaze darkened. What he really wanted to say was that he couldn't sleep even more after Luo Qianmo came back.

Today, he has just returned, and his father has already bestowed great honors upon him.

Luo Qianmo was already the emperor's most favored prince, and now with this additional honor, his momentum is at its peak.

In a single day, countless civil and military officials in the court began to curry favor with him.

From now on, he will likely become increasingly difficult to deal with.

The more Luo Qianhao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he lost the will to continue pretending with Luo Qianmo. He left after only a short while.

No sooner had Luo Qianhao left than Xuan Zhu and Xuan Lan returned.

"Your Highness, we are almost ready. We await your command when to make our move." Xuan Zhu's expression was somewhat cold. Luo Qianhao was truly hypocritical. He had attempted to assassinate his prince multiple times along the way, yet today he could still express concern for his prince.

That's incredibly shameless.

If it weren't for the greater good, he would have loved to kill Luo Qianhao with a single sword strike.

Luo Qianmo stared in the direction Luo Qianhao had left, his eyes filled with darkness.

Let's start now!

Upon hearing this, both Xuanzhu and Xuanlan were delighted.

"As ordered!"

Luo Qianmo gave the two a look, and they immediately went down to prepare.

A cold glint flashed in Luo Qianmo's deep eyes. He wanted to start now, to let Luo Qianhao know that he was the one who did it, to let him know that he had fallen into his hands.

Yes, he did it on purpose.

Just before going to bed, Fang Qingyou was still busy and had no idea that the Ren family would come looking for her.

They just met this afternoon, and it's already so late. I wonder what's wrong with Mrs. Ren?

Ren came with Aunt Luo. They must have come in a hurry, as they were still carrying the chill of winter when they entered the house.

"Mom, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Fang Qingyou quickly pulled Ren Shi to sit down, and Mingyue had already poured hot tea and brought it over.

Seeing Fang Qingyou's somewhat nervous expression, Madam Ren quickly said, "You'er, Mother is fine, I just came to see you."

As she spoke, Madam Ren took something out of her sleeve.

Fang Qingyou thought it was something, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a peace charm.

At this moment, Madam Ren had already stuffed the amulet into Fang Qingyou's hand: "You'er, this is an amulet that your mother asked Yuemin to get from Lingquan Temple. I heard that the Bodhisattva there is very efficacious, and whatever you ask for will definitely come true. You must keep this amulet with you."

Fang Qingyou was stunned for a moment. Ren Shi only told her that she had sent Yue Min out to do something, but when she asked, she refused to say what it was.

She thought it was something serious, but it turned out he was just asking for a peace charm for himself.

My heart felt warm and a little sour, filled with emotion.

"This is my mother's gift, and I will definitely take good care of it."

Regardless of whether the amulet could actually bring peace, Ren's kindness was something she should remember.

“That’s right. Here, let me put it on you.” As she spoke, Madam Ren took the amulet from Fang Qingyou’s hand and put it around her neck.

"Thank you, mother."

Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on Ren's face, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"You'er, it's getting late, you should get some rest. Mother will head back now."

"Ah, Mother, please have a cup of hot tea before you go. It's too cold outside." Fang Qingyou quickly pulled Ren Shi back.

Unable to refuse, Ren had no choice but to take the teacup and drink it all before Fang Qingyou released her.

After finishing her cup of tea, Madam Ren was still savoring it: "You'er, what kind of tea is this? It tastes so good!"

Fang Qingyou chuckled, "This is the tea I made for you; it's very good for your health. I was planning to send it to you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to have the chance to drink it today."

Aunt Luo then realized that the tea she was drinking was indeed different from Ren's tea, but her tea was just as delicious.

Mrs. Ren smiled with relief: "Silly girl, don't always think about me. Take more rest when you have nothing to do."

"Oh, Mother, you're mistaken. I'm just returning the favor."

Fang Qingyou didn't mention that this tea was actually a prenatal nourishing tea, which could not only nourish Ren's body but also the fetus, and it was very effective for her.

However, she dared not tell Ren Shi, otherwise, given her personality, she would either think that someone wanted to harm her or blame herself.

"Xiaoying, Xiaoyou is being filial." Aunt Luo was genuinely happy for Fang Qingyou and Ren Shi, but then she suddenly thought of her son who had been missing for many years and wondered if he was safe and sound, and her eyes welled up with tears.

I held back my tears after a moment of hesitation.

Before Ren could say anything more, she saw Fang Qingyou yawn and immediately got up to leave.

Fearing that the two would discover her unusual behavior, Aunt Luo hurriedly followed Madam Ren out.

Fang Qingyou saw Ren Shi and Aunt Luo off, and yawned again as soon as she returned to her room.

He touched the amulet around his neck and said to Yuefei, "Yuefei, check tomorrow to see if anything has happened in the last few days."

Something serious must have happened, otherwise why would Mr. Ren ask for a peace charm and even go to Lingquan Temple to ask for it?

Fang Qingyou had never been to Lingquan Temple, but she had heard of its great reputation.

I've heard that the bodhisattvas and deities there are very effective in granting any prayers, which is why their incense is so abundant.

The only drawback is that it is far from Yunjing City, and even by horseback, it would take at least four or five days to travel there.

In this situation, even if you ask the Ren family, they won't tell the truth, so you'll have to find out for yourself.

“Yes, miss,” Yuefei replied quickly.

Fang Qingyou nodded and got back to work. She was so tired that she wanted to finish quickly so she could go to sleep.

On the way, Aunt Luo said, "Xiao Ying, you should probably tell Xiao You about the nightmare you had. Maybe you can give her a heads-up. With her personality, if she's prepared, nothing bad will happen."

Madam Ren shook her head firmly: "You'er has always been meticulous. She's been exhausted these days, how could I possibly cause her any more trouble? It was just a dream. Now that I've obtained a peace charm for her, I feel much more at ease. With her right here, I'm sure nothing will happen."
