Royal Palace.

Wuying met Mo Zhaohua and his servant at the side door so as not to be too conspicuous.

Chu Xuanchi was waiting in the main hall. He hadn't seen Mo Zhaohua for ten years, and he was still a little nervous in the midst of the war.

Not long after, a pretty figure slowly walked in, and the little girl from the past finally became a graceful lady.

She was wearing a green brocade dress with floral patterns, a small padded jacket on the outside, and a red flower ornament on her forehead.

Mo Zhaohua didn't look directly at Chu Xuanchi. He took a quick glance and lowered his head. He only remembered his wheelchair and his overly rosy face.

She was extremely nervous. In her previous life, she had lost her tongue, so she couldn't ask him what stupid things he had done for her at that time, but she guessed that there must be quite a few.

Chu Xuanchi did not avoid suspicion and looked straight at Mo Zhaohua, fearing that there would never be such an opportunity again in the future.

Mo Zhaohua walked up to him and knelt down to salute him, "Your Highness, how are you?"

Chu Xuanchi's heart trembled slightly. Her voice was so beautiful, no longer childish, but more gentle.

He raised his hand and said politely, "Miss Mo, please don't be polite. Please take a seat."

After Mo Zhaohua sat down, a maid came to serve tea. She thanked her before reaching out to take it.

Chu Xuanchi's eyes kept wandering over her, watching her slender white fingers holding the bone china teacup.

Mo Zhaohua sipped his tea elegantly, "I heard that Your Highness was injured on the battlefield. Is he feeling better now?"

Chu Xuanchi came back to his senses, "Much better. I wonder why the young lady suddenly visited me, ahem..."

He had just said a few words when he felt an itch in his throat. He raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, put it to his lips and coughed gently.

Mo Zhaohua subconsciously looked up and said, "It's getting colder than spring. Has Your Highness caught a cold?"

This time she looked more carefully and immediately understood why Chu Xuanchi's face was so rosy, probably because he had a fever.

If it wasn't too abrupt, she would have wanted to go over and grab his hand to feel his pulse and check on how his injuries were recovering.

Chu Xuanchi took a sip of tea to moisten his dry throat, "I am a little uncomfortable, Miss, please pay more attention."

Mo Zhaohua stood up and bowed to Chu Xuanchi, "Your Highness has been guarding the southern border for the country and has fought hard. I hope you take care of yourself."

She really respected him. In her previous life, the rumors she heard about him were all about him winning battles. The Nanzhao Kingdom had invaded southern Xinjiang many times, but he had defeated them all.

Chu Xuanchi said in a high-sounding manner, "As a prince, I enjoy the offerings of my subjects, so how dare I say it's hard work if I contribute a little."

This was indeed not sincere. He was exiled to southern Xinjiang instead of going there on his own initiative. At such a young age, no one would agree even if he volunteered.

Mo Zhaohua and Chu Xuanchi didn't have much in common except for their friendship in their youth. After a few words, he wanted to get straight to the point, "Zhenzhu, go down and wait first."

Chu Xuanchi saw that she even dismissed the maids, and it was obvious that there was something she couldn't tell outsiders, so he sent his people away, "Wuying, you also leave."

"Yes, master!" Wuying responded and led the maid out of the main hall.

Mo Zhaohua didn't talk about the marriage directly, but asked first, "It's been ten years since we last met, Your Highness, do you still remember me?"

Chu Xuanchi had already engraved her in his heart, "This king will naturally remember Zhao Zhao."

Mo Zhaohua now dared to look directly at Chu Xuanchi, "Zhao Zhao also remembers Brother Xuanchi..."

She knew Chu Xuanchi's thoughts in his previous life, so she used this name intentionally to get closer to him.

The familiar yet strange name made Chu Xuanchi a little dazed, and he subconsciously called out, "Zhao Zhao..."

Mo Zhaohua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, walked to him and knelt down, "Zhao Zhao, I dare to ask Brother Xuan Chi to save me."

Chu Xuanchi returned to normal in an instant, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "What happened? Get up and tell me, ahem..."

He had heard that Mo Zhaohua and Chu Xuanhan were in love with each other, so if there was any problem, they should have looked for Lao Liu. Now that they had gone to great lengths to find him, he couldn't help but think too much.

Mo Zhaohua stood up and sat back in his chair. "Zhao Zhao will have her coming-of-age ceremony soon. Prince Qi has proposed today that after the ceremony, we will ask the emperor for permission to marry her."

Chu Xuanchi had already guessed Chu Xuanhan's intention, "I've always heard that Prince Qi is as gentle as jade, modest and polite. Isn't this a good thing?"

Mo Zhaohua's eyes dimmed, "But Zhao Zhao doesn't want to marry Prince Qi."

"Why is that?" Chu Xuanchi was not only surprised but also a little happy when he heard this, but when his eyes fell on his legs, his eyes dimmed instantly.

Mo Zhaohua explained, "Prince Qi is two-faced and does not really care about Zhaozhao, and he is not as humble as he appears."

Chu Xuanhan is less than a year younger than Chu Xuanchi. He was bullied a lot when they were young, but he had a very good reputation when he grew up, and no one had heard of him doing anything out of line.

Hearing Mo Zhaohua say this now, he was still a little surprised, "Oh? Is this true?"

Mo Zhaohua's expression was solemn. "Yes, once Prince Qi participates in the fight for the throne, Zhao Zhao and the Fuguogong Mansion will be dragged into the abyss by him."

Chu Xuanchi understood, "Do you suspect that Prince Qi deliberately approached you just to gain the support of the Fuguogong Mansion?"

Mo Zhaohua said seriously, "Yes, he mentioned the Fuguogong Mansion many times, and persuaded Zhaozhao to go with him to visit his grandfather."

In her previous life, she was deceived by Chu Xuanhan's so-called filial piety. In this life, she knows his thoughts very well. Now, using this as an excuse may convince Chu Xuanchi.

Chu Xuanchi continued to test her, "I wonder how Zhao Zhao wants me to help you? Do you want to stop the emperor from granting you the marriage?"
