But for some reason, when she saw the lilies all over the courtyard on the palace wall that night, and when she was pushed on the swing by Chuntao and Qiuxiang, her heart felt like a familiar home.

Su Qingcheng didn't want to come down until the sun went down. Seeing that it was already time for dinner, no one from the palace came over yet, so she only sent someone from the imperial kitchen to bring dinner over.

"Chuntao, is there any movement in other palaces?" Su Qingcheng couldn't help but ask.

She originally thought that the queen would gather everyone together and announce something today, but a whole day passed and the Splendid Palace was so quiet.

"No, the palace doors that I passed by when I went to borrow tools were all closed," Chuntao said.

"I see."

Su Qingcheng's eyes darkened, and she couldn't figure out what this Emperor Dong Ling wanted to do...

As the sun set, Chuntao and Qiuxiang waited for Su Qingcheng to take a bath, and a charcoal fire was lit in the room.

Just as Chuntao was about to close the window, Su Qingcheng suddenly said: "Don't close it yet."

"Princess, the wind is strong at night, you may catch a cold." Chuntao said.

"It's okay. I'm feeling bored. I'll call you when it gets cold." Su Qingcheng said.

"Okay, my servant will be guarding outside." After saying that, Chuntao blew out the candle, walked out, and closed the door.

Su Qingcheng lay down, tossing and turning for a moment, and then she heard the sound of the window closing.

"Are you waiting for me?" Su Qingcheng stood up, and Ye Tantai stood in front of the window, holding his hands on his chest and looking at her with interest.

"What have you done today?" Su Qingcheng asked, ignoring his teasing.

Ye Tantai walked over slowly, sat down beside the bed, and said, "It's different after we get married. You start to care about my daily life so soon?"

"It's not formal," Su Qingcheng patted his shoulder lightly, but he made him laugh, "They don't let us out, and they don't call us to the front of the palace. What kind of test is this?"

"Indeed, not only your Lily Pavilion, but also many princes and princesses can hardly sit still." Ye Tantai said.

"What on earth does the emperor want to do?" Su Qingcheng asked puzzledly.

"Fuyi left the palace today," Ye Tantai did not answer directly, "He said that the emperor's death had spread in Haojing City, and word of mouth announced that the successor would be the fourth prince, but the empress announced all the princes and princesses to the palace Locked up, the heir to the throne has not been announced for a long time."

Su Qingcheng frowned, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and said, "Isn't this pushing the fourth prince into a pit of fire?"

"Yeah, so there is a rumor in Hao Kyoto that the fourth prince killed his father to seize the throne."

"How did it spread so quickly?" Su Qingcheng asked doubtfully. They obviously only came to the palace from various mansions yesterday, but the news had already spread a lot today.

"I estimate that it will take a few more days to ferment."

Today, the palace intensified the search. Ye Tantai could not stay here for the night, so he left after a while.

After he left, Su Qingcheng kept thinking about what happened on the bed.

She couldn't fall asleep for a long time. When the sky was slightly bright, she got up and went to find the eldest princess. However, she was stopped by the royal guards outside the Lily Pavilion: "I'm sorry, princess. The queen has given an order that from today on, no one can go out." One step to your own yard.”

"Is there no explanation? Just imprison us like this." Su Qingcheng suppressed her anger and asked.

The royal guard said expressionlessly: "The Queen's decree, no one is allowed to disobey it."

Su Qingcheng didn't want to have a conflict, so she could only give up and turn around and go back.

This has been the case for several days in a row. Not only are they not allowed to go out, but security has been stepped up in front of each palace gate. Two teams of royal guards take turns patrolling in the morning and evening.

In the past few days and nights, Su Qingcheng slept with the window open, but Ye Tantai did not come.

She didn't want to sit still and wait for death, so she and Chuntao changed their clothes and came to the palace gate at night when the royal guards were changing shifts.

As expected, he was stopped by the royal guards. Su Qingcheng said anxiously: "Princess Nan'an has contracted the wind and cold. She has been dizzy and burning all day. Get out of the way. I'm going to call the doctor!"

There was only one royal guard outside at this time, and he refused sternly: "No, no one can go out."

"If Princess Nan'an does anything bad, your life will not be saved!" Su Qingcheng roared.

The guard hesitated a little and said, "Wait another half-quarter of an hour. When the guard on duty arrives, we will bring the imperial doctor over."

"If anything happens to Princess Nan'an during this period, can you bear it! She has already married King Yu Nan. She is not only Princess Nan'an, but also Princess Yu Nan of Nanye. If there is another conflict between the two countries because of this incident, If you start a war, you will be a sinner forever!"

Su Qingcheng spoke loudly, with an urgent and imposing tone, as if Princess Nan'an inside was going to die in the next moment.

After hearing this, the guard had a look of panic in his eyes and said, "Go back quickly! If you dare to play tricks on me, you know the consequences!"

"Yes!"

Su Qingcheng left without stopping and ran towards the Taiyuan Hospital. There was no one in the empty palace along the way. Just around the corner, she suddenly turned around and ran towards the Chonghua Palace where the princes lived.

The entire palace was in shift change time, and Chonghua Palace was no exception. As expected, there was only one guard at the door.

Su Qingcheng adjusted her breathing, came to the door and said, "I am a maid in the Queen's Palace, and I have come to visit the princes under the Queen's order."

The guard looked at her suspiciously and said, "It's bedtime now, why is my aunt here at this time? Do you have any evidence to prove that she is the queen's person?"

"You can't guess what the queen means, evidence? It also depends on where it is used," Su Qingcheng put on the airs of an aunt, "Some things can only be seen clearly after dark, let me tell you this You should understand."

She glanced at the guard meaningfully, her heart beating fast, but her face was very calm.

"Go in, but be quick. I won't be able to explain it when the replacement comes later," the guard said.

"No problem." Su Qingcheng entered, and she didn't know which direction to go in the Chonghua Palace.

"Forget it, let's take a gamble." She muttered, gritted her teeth and walked to the right. She would eventually find the fourth prince's palace. It was just a matter of time.

Su Qingcheng walked through one room after another, talking to the maids at the door and asking, but none of them belonged to the fourth prince.

Time is passing little by little. If I change my shift, I might not be able to get out...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Even if the guards in the palace were strengthened, these people could not stop Ye Tantai.

In order to prevent this incident from affecting Xueyin, who he had finally re-established in Dongling, he went out of the palace at night in the past few days.

He also inquired about other things. He turned over and entered the palace wall of Lily Pavilion, only to find that the window was tightly closed.

Looking from the outside, there was indeed a person lying on the bed, but Ye Tantai recognized it at a glance. That person was not Su Qingcheng.
