There was a man dressed as a guard sitting on the armrest of the carriage, but he had already jumped off.

Hearing this, he replied, "Your Majesty, the horse was frightened and the driver failed to control it, and almost hit a girl."

"Prince?" Mu Xueyan stared at the carriage. "Whose prince are you? How dare you be so arrogant and ride a horse to commit murder in the street?"

The driver hurriedly explained, "Girl, the horse was frightened and I was unable to control it in time. I didn't let the horse do anything bad."

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a young man in a dragon robe and jade belt walked out of the carriage. He saw Chu Xuanchi and asked, "Fifth Brother, why are you here?"

Chu Xuanchi watched him jump off the carriage with a smile on his face. It was such a coincidence that the owner of the carriage was actually Prince Rui Chu Xuanlin.

"It turns out to be my seventh brother. Xue'er is my adopted sister. I was almost hit just now. I was frightened and my words were a bit rude. Please understand."

"Fifth brother, Fifth sister-in-law, how is she?" Prince Rui came over to ask about their well-being, and apologized to Mu Xueyan, "Miss, I'm sorry."

Mu Xueyan returned the greeting, "Your groom doesn't seem to be any good. It's better to replace him. After all, not everyone is as easy to talk to as me."

"Miss, you are right. I will replace you when I get back. I have official business to attend to today, so I cannot stay here for long. I will come to your house to apologize tomorrow."

Prince Rui was in a hurry to do his work, and he rode his horse too fast on the street, so that the horse was startled by the dodging passers-by, causing this incident.

Chu Xuanchi dismissed him, "Since your seventh brother has an official errand to attend to, please go first. I will take care of Xue'er here."

Prince Rui folded his hands and bowed to him, "In this case, Xuanlin would like to thank Fifth Brother for his understanding, and thank you, Miss."

He did not mention Mo Zhaohua, but his eyes were on her. This was the second time he saw her since Chu Xuanchi's wedding.

Although he helped Chu Xuanchi to welcome the bride at the wedding, she was covered with a stage scarf, and he never saw her wearing the phoenix crown from beginning to end.

However, later on, he dreamed countless times that he was in the bridal chamber, holding a weighing rod and lifting up the bright red veil.

The last time he saw her was at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Because he was sitting in the same row with them, he didn't want to look at her for too long to avoid suspicion.

Today was the same. He only dared to look into her eyes when greeting her, and saw that there seemed to be thousands of stars shining in her eyes.

Mo Zhaohua felt his gaze and looked over suspiciously, but he had already turned around and got on the carriage, with the curtain hiding his figure.

After Prince Rui left, Chu Xuanchi and his friends finally went shopping on Yong'an Street. Mu Xueyan was not shy and bought a lot of things.

Wuying was busy paying the money behind her, so Fengying pushed Chu Xuanchi, and Yueying, Huaying and the accompanying maid were responsible for helping to carry things.

When they went to the restaurant for lunch at noon, they put their things on the carriage, ate peacefully, and returned to the carriage to rest for a while in the afternoon.

There was a set of tea sets in the carriage. Huaying asked for hot water from the restaurant. Mo Zhaohua used it to make a pot of tea, and Chu Xuanchi poured a cup.

She picked up a cup and took a sip. "Prince Rui has always been on good terms with Prince Qi. Do you think what happened today was an accident or was it man-made?"

Henry Chu had thought about this question sooner or later, "If it was really an accident, it would be too coincidental. If it was man-made, he left too fast."

Mo Zhaohua frowned, "That's why I can't be sure. If Prince Rui wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Miss Mu, how could he miss the chance?"

Chu Xuanchi was still cautious. "Whether it was an accident or man-made, we must be careful. I will remind Xueyan when we return."

They drank a cup of tea and then got off the car to continue shopping. In the morning, Mu Xueyan only bought rouge, powder and jewelry, and in the afternoon she would buy some silk.

The stroll lasted another whole afternoon, and Mu Xueyan didn't want to go back until night fell, so Chu Xuanchi decided to take her on a boat ride again.

Although today is not a holiday, the riverside is always bustling. Mu Xueyan sits at the bow of the boat and looks at the night view on both sides of the river with great interest.

Chu Xuanchi asked her with a smile, "Xue'er, did you have fun today?"

Mu Xueyan's face was full of smiles. "I'm happy, so happy. Shengjing City is really fun."

Chu Xuanchi reminded her, "It's fun, but it's also dangerous. Didn't you almost get hurt today?"

Mu Xueyan was full of confidence, "It's okay, Xue'er knows Kung Fu and can protect herself, not to mention Yueying is here."

"Your Kung Fu is not good enough. You must have been lazy since I left Southern Xinjiang. You must practice hard from now on."

Chu Xuanchi planned to use this excuse to detain her in the mansion, and then take her out to play in the name of reward.

Mu Xueyan had indeed been wasting time for a long time, so she could only respond guiltily, "Yes..."

***

Three days later.

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua entered the palace again.

This time they went to the East Palace in the name of meeting the prince, but secretly to meet a famous doctor.

Chu Xuanchi had never been to the Eastern Palace since he returned to Beijing. Now that he had been married for many days, he brought Mo Zhaohua to pay a visit.

So this was the news that Emperor Wenzong received, and the couple went to greet the Crown Prince and Crown Princess for the first time.

As the crown prince is the heir to the throne, Chu Xuanchi, as a minister, should have gone to pay a visit long ago, but his previous circumstances were special.

Now that he is in better health, he no longer hides in his mansion and is willing to go out. Emperor Wenzong naturally would not suspect anything.

Both as a king and a father, Emperor Wenzong hoped that he would go out more often, provided that he could not stand up.

Only when he was still in a wheelchair and had no military power could Emperor Wenzong feel at ease, even if he went to the Eastern Palace.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were honest with each other and had no secrets from each other. The Crown Princess knew the truth about the famous doctor's visit to the capital.

After Chu Xuanchi and his wife met them, they dismissed their attendants and only kept their trusted confidants by their side, and let the famous doctor examine them.

The Crown Princess was dignified and elegant, with a graceful demeanor. She sat next to Mo Zhaohua, always with a polite and gentle smile on her face.

She took the initiative to strike up a conversation, "Since getting married, Fifth Brother has looked much better, which shows that my sister-in-law has taken good care of him."

Mo Zhaohua made an excuse, "When His Majesty granted me the marriage, he hoped that I could take good care of the prince, so I should do my best."

The Crown Princess' voice was soothing. "Good job, I believe that the fifth brother will stand up, just like the Crown Prince."

What she said was not "get better", but "stand up", which was very comfortable to hear.

Mo Zhaohua said politely: "With the help of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, your Highness and I have more hope."

At this time, the prince was also chatting with Chu Xuanchi, "I heard that a girl came to the fifth prince's house, and the prince doted on her very much."

Chu Xuanchi explained: "Xue Yan was entrusted to me by my lifesaver before she died. I am grateful to her and would never dare to let her down."

The prince glanced at Mo Zhaohua and said, "It is indeed important that the benefactor entrusted me with the care of my son, but I will repay the favor, but please do not wrong my younger sister-in-law."

It was obvious that he had something else in mind. Chu Xuanchi quickly asked, "May I ask, Prince, what rumors have you heard?"
