"Wouldn't it be bad if I went directly to the Crown Prince's residence to deliver things during the day and people saw me?" Du Mingxian wasn't worried about wasting spiritual water. Although she still felt bad about it, the Crown Prince was her right now, and it would be a good thing to help him get better.

The Crown Prince waved his hand, "It's a small matter, I'll have someone go to the Wen residence to get it."

The Crown Prince isn't even pretending; he wants to maintain a superficial relationship with the Wen family.

"Wouldn't that be bad for His Highness?"

The Crown Prince looked up at her and said, "You've brought Lord Wen to my residence, are you afraid others will know that the Crown Prince's residence and the Wen residence are close?"

"That was at night."

The crown prince remained silent, simply gazing at her.

Du Mingxian was suddenly speechless. Under the Crown Prince's gaze, she could only acquiesce to his actions.

"If Your Highness has nothing else, I will take my leave now."

The Crown Prince nodded slightly. Du Mingxian got up and left, but she could still hear the Crown Prince's instructions behind her, "Remember, I'll have someone go and get it tomorrow."

Du Mingxian returned to her residence and pondered the Crown Prince's words. She still didn't quite understand what he meant. In the end, she still couldn't figure out whether the Crown Prince's kindness towards her was because of Old Madam Xu or because of the Wen family.

The next day, she prepared her things early in the morning, and the people from the Crown Prince's residence arrived. After they took the things away, she went to find Ling Silang in the afternoon.

Ling Shilang was transferred to the Ministry of Rites because of the visits from various countries. After the countries left, he was left in the Ministry of Rites and was not transferred again.

The Ministry of Rites is very busy when it gets busy, but also very quiet when it gets quiet. There are no major festivals recently, the envoys have just left, and there are no sacrificial rites or anything like that, so Ling Silang went home early. Du Mingxian had already prepared dinner for him when he entered the courtyard.

"Come and wash your hands, it's just time to eat."

Ling Silang was very happy. "You just live like this, without anyone by your side?"

"I don't need to bring anyone with me. I came out quietly. Now, in the Wen family mansion, Madam Wen the Second is in charge of the household, and I have no one above me to supervise me, so I am relatively free."

Once the food was on the table, Ling Silang asked, "Did you come here for something?"

"Yes, the Crown Prince asked me to go to his residence because we haven't written home. Our family is very worried, so they planned to come looking for us. I've already asked the Crown Prince to send a message home to tell them we're alright, but since they haven't seen us, they're probably still very worried."

"I've been away from home for so long, and I'm starting to miss it. I wonder how the workshops are doing, and if my parents are alright."

Ling Silang saw through her thoughts, "You want to leave the capital?"

"No, it's just that I want to... restore my identity. Right now, I still go out as the eldest daughter of the Wen family, which is very inconvenient."

Ling Silang nodded slightly. He also liked to use his identity. "I need to make preparations for this matter. Now that I am an official, if I leave directly, I might be investigated if I enter the court as Ling Silang in the future. So even if he manages to get away, it won't be so easy."

Du Mingxian naturally knew that he was not in control of his own destiny in the officialdom. "I know, so I thought we should plan ahead so that we can leave directly when the time comes. It's definitely better to leave as soon as possible. Over time, people will forget your current identity, and it will be more convenient for you to come back as yourself in the future."

"I know, I will hurry up and get the medicine ready."

"You think we can't both die at the same time? Or we could stage an assassination attempt ourselves, that way we could fake our deaths."

"We need to plan this out and also inform the Crown Prince, since the Crown Prince and Lord Wen are the only ones who know our identities now."

Du Mingxian hesitated, "Last time I spoke with Lord Wen, and he... wanted me to continue being the eldest daughter of the Wen family." It seems he really wants her to take Wen Huan's place.
