She calmed down her expression slightly and smiled.

"Since Ah Heng likes to eat, I'll make more."

"Okay, the princess will be busy slowly, so I won't disturb you."

Wei Tingshan left happily.

Shen Ruoxi lowered her head and continued working.

Bizhu on the side stared at her movements and walked up to the front.

"Princess, let me help you. I am very good at making preserves. Your Highness will definitely like it!"

Shen Ruoxi didn't even raise her head.

"No, you step back."

Bizhu wanted to say something else, but Taoye pulled her away.

She smiled.

"Don't worry, as long as it is made by the Crown Princess, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely like it no matter what the taste is."

Bizhu remained silent and stood aside.

Taoye glanced around and asked.

"Princess, why is Leng Shuang missing again?"

Shen Ruoxi said.

"She has something important to do and has left the palace."

Leng Shuang went to Murong Yu's house to climb the wall again, and she was probably watching the excitement.

After Shen Ruoxi made the candied fruit, she took the peach leaves outside to dry, and asked her to watch there in person. Then she wrapped the remaining syrup on the hawthorns and made some candied haws.

She tasted one herself and thought it tasted pretty good, sour and sweet, which was quite appetizing.

He let Hong Xiu hold it and walked out of the kitchen.

When they arrived at the Prince's study in the East Palace, Xiao Yuzi was guarding the door. When he saw Shen Ruoxi coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet her.

"Princess, why are you here?"

"Where's Ah Heng?"

"His Royal Highness is discussing matters with Du Quan, the minister of Dali Temple. He hasn't come out yet. I'm afraid the Crown Princess will have to wait for a while."

"It's okay, I'll wait outside for a while."

"It's cold outside, and the princess is waiting on the porch."

Xiao Yuzi immediately brought a mahogany chair and placed it in a sheltered position, also put a cushion on it, and then gave Shen Ruoxi a hand warmer.

Shen Ruoxi smiled gently at him.

"You are so considerate, no wonder Aheng keeps you by my side."

A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Yuzi's delicate face.

"These are what slaves should do."

Shen Ruoxi nodded, stopped talking, and waited quietly outside.

In the study room.

Murong Heng sat on the chair behind the desk, holding a heater in his hand. His cold, white and handsome face cast a faint light on Du Quan in front of him.

Although the gaze is light, it seems to be so powerful that it makes people unable to lift their heads.

Murong Heng spoke slowly.

"You mean, Qin Chengxuan found out about Yaowang Valley?"

"Yes, when the queen was poisoned, she was very close to the Medicine King Valley. He somehow associated it with her and is now preparing to investigate there."

Du Quan thought for a while.

"If we find out, we should find out the correspondence between Prince Rong and Yaowang Valley. I originally wanted to follow his wishes and let him investigate, and take the opportunity to seize some clues about Prince Rong, but after thinking about it, I still think I would like to ask for your advice."

"Qin Chengxuan is quite keen and a talented person."

A smile appeared on Murong Heng's lips, and then he said: "But for now, don't let him interfere with the affairs of Yaowang Valley, get some other news, confuse his line of sight, and delay it for a while."

"I accept the order." Du Quan thought for a moment, "But doesn't this mean that Prince Rong will be let go? The late emperor ordered not to have anything to do with the people in Yaowang Valley. As a prince, it is a serious crime for him to get involved."

"Do you think my father doesn't know about this?"

Murong Heng raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness.

"It's just that I can't interfere. Su Sheng has a high position and is very careful. His influence has long been deeply rooted in Yaowang Valley. My father can't pull it out. If you want to bring him down, you have to slowly destroy his influence." .”

He knew this very well, so he began to spread his own people in Yaowanggu a few years ago. Now, it was time to close the net.

If he takes over the Medicine King Valley, it will be a big blow to Su Sheng and Murong Yao.

Su Sheng made huge profits from Yaowang Valley every year, and most of the money was spent on military strength.

He wants to cut off his way of making money first.

Murong Heng turned his eyes slightly.

"Gu has other plans in Yaowang Valley. You should just follow Gu's words."

"Yes, I understand!"

Du Quan was about to retreat, but was stopped again by Murong Heng.

"Go and find out if there is any good sword. If there is any, I will send it to you."

"Yes."

Du Quan agreed, then thought about it and bravely advised: "However, Your Highness still needs to recover, so it is best to use less force."

"It's not used alone."

Murong Heng stretched out his hand to rub his temples and said slowly: "Major General Shen Yue is about to enter the capital. This sword is given to him."

With Shen Yue's temper, if she knew that he married Shen Ruoxi, she would probably have to deal with it a lot.

After the two discussed the matter, they left the study.

Du Quan walked to the door, reached out and opened the door, preparing to let Murong Heng go out first.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a woman wearing a lavender skirt sitting at the door, seemingly waiting for someone.

She has a jade-like complexion and a noble temperament. She is wearing a white mink velvet cloak. Her dark cloud-like hair is piled behind her head and pulled into a beautiful bun, decorated with a red emerald beaded crest and golden steps. It is extremely noble and noble.

Du Quan was shaken.

Immediately he realized that this woman was the mistress of the East Palace.

"Your Majesty Du Quan, please see the Crown Princess."

"Master Du, no courtesy."

Shen Ruoxi smiled slightly, and then her eyes fell on Murong Heng behind him.

"Aheng."

Murong Heng wore a black gold-woven robe and stepped across the threshold.

"Why are you waiting here?"

"I made some candied haws, and I thought I'd give you a try first, so I'm waiting here."

Shen Ruoxi spoke expectantly and looked at Murong Heng with genuine joy.

As she said that, she glanced at Du Quan next to her.

"Master Du, do you have anything else to discuss with the prince? If anything happens, I'll wait. It doesn't matter."

Du Quan immediately cupped his hands and said.

"I have reached an agreement with His Highness. I will leave."

After saying that, he surrendered and stepped back.

The moment he turned around, the expression on Du Quan's face relaxed.

He thought of the shocking glimpse just now and couldn't help but sigh. No wonder, even with the woman he had divorced, His Highness the Crown Prince had to fight against all odds to marry her as his concubine.

It is human nature that His Highness the Crown Prince would be tempted by this appearance.

In the corridor, Shen Ruoxi handed the candied haws on the plate to Murong Heng like a treasure.

"Taste it."

A glimmer of light flashed calmly in Murong Heng's eyes.

Then he took a bite.

Shen Ruoxi's eyes sparkled.

"Is it tasty?"

"Ah."

He couldn't help but ask.

"Why did you suddenly think of doing this?"

"Not only are there candied haws, but I also made candied fruits for you. I remember everything I promised you before."

Shen Ruoxi smiled with crooked eyes and a little pride.

Hearing this, Murong Heng's mind moved and he remembered what happened on his way back to Beijing.

At that time, he thought she was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect that she really took it seriously.

This feeling of being on top of my heart...

well.

Xiao Yuzi on the side stared at the candied haws on a stick and praised: "The princess's craftsmanship must be excellent, the candied haws on a stick looks appetizing!"

Shen Ruoxi reached for one and handed it to Xiao Yuzi.

"Try it too."

"Thank you, Princess!"

Xiao Yuzi happily prepared to take it, but was snatched away by another hand.

Murong Heng looked calm.

"He's not hungry."

Xiao Yuzi:......

Xiao Yuzi immediately retracted his hand: "Yes, I'm not hungry."

He was full on dog food.
