That night, at the Prince's Palace.

Chu Xuanchi and his wife held a dinner party in the front yard.

After all, it is the New Year now, so we shouldn't neglect our guests.

Mu Xueyan used the serving chopsticks to pick up fish meat for Mo Zhaohua, "Sister-in-law, Xueer has picked out all the fish bones."

Mo Zhaohua was flattered. "Thank you, Xue'er. No need to trouble you. I can just do these little things for you."

When she first met Mu Xueyan, she couldn't even imagine that one day she would be treated like this.

Mu Xueyan laughed, "You're welcome. Xue'er also wants to do something for sister-in-law. As long as sister-in-law doesn't dislike Xue'er, that's all."

She had no brothers or sisters. The more she interacted with Mo Zhaohua, the more she liked him. She felt as if she had a sister.

Mo Zhaohua's pretty face turned red. "I'm not disgusted, I'm just embarrassed. You're so old, but you still can't pick fish bones."

Mu Xueyan disagreed, "Sister-in-law comes from a famous family and has had maids serving her since she was a child. It's normal that she can't do these things."

She was not being sarcastic, but she really thought so. She thought Mo Zhaohua's behavior was understandable and that was what a lady from a noble family should be like.

Mo Zhaohua awkwardly changed the subject, "Tomorrow is the third day of the New Year, so we can't pay New Year's greetings. Xue'er, do you want to go out and play?"

"Okay, okay, where do we go to play?" Mu Xueyan no longer took the initiative to ask to go out to play, but she also wouldn't refuse.

Mo Zhaohua thought for a moment and said, "I heard that a circus troupe of street performers came into the city before the New Year. How about we go and see them?"

"Really?" Mu Xueyan loved the hustle and bustle, so she was naturally filled with joy. "Sister-in-law, you are so kind. Xue'er likes you so much."

"I like Xue'er, too." Mo Zhaohua emphasized, "But we have to make an appointment in advance. You have to listen to your brother, Prince Yu, when you go out."

Mu Xueyan nodded quickly and agreed readily, "Okay, Xueer promises to follow brother and sister-in-law obediently and never run around."

Chu Xuanchi looked at Xiao Yan, "Mr. Xiao, this is also the first time for you to celebrate the New Year in Shengjing. Would you like to go with me to see the fun?"

Xiao Yan smiled and agreed, "Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness. Since Your Highness is so kind, I will respectfully obey your command."

Hearing his agreement, Mu Xueyan was very happy, "Great, we can go out and play together tomorrow."

After the dinner, Mu Xueyan and Xiao Yan left together, and Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua also returned to the backyard.

After entering the room, Chu Xuanchi, who was full of doubts, asked, "Why did Zhao Zhao suddenly want to take Xue'er to see the circus?"

Mo Zhaohua sat down on the chair next to him, "My husband, haven't you ever let go of your suspicion of Young Master Xiao?"

Chu Xuanchi understood instantly, "Zhao Zhao wants to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Mo Zhaohua nodded, "Yes, if he really came for her husband, he would not miss such a good opportunity easily."

Chu Xuanchi was delighted. "What a good idea! Since the palace has tightened its security, it has become very difficult to assassinate someone in the palace, and I rarely go out."

Mo Zhaohua said: "It just occurred to me that I was trying to create this opportunity to test him. It would be best if nothing happens."

Chu Xuanchi was grateful but also apologetic. "You've worked so hard. Not only have you been worried about me, but you've also been so worried."

Mo Zhaohua curled her lips, "Why would it be hard? Besides, I am not doing this for my husband, but for Xue'er."

"It turns out that I was just being too sentimental. I feel a little jealous. Sigh..." Chu Xuanchi was actually most happy that they got along harmoniously.

"Aren't you worried too, husband?" Mo Zhaohua saw through his thoughts, "Mr. Xiao's identity is unknown, but Xue'er is getting deeper and deeper into trouble."

"Am I being too cruel to use Xue'er like this?" Chu Xuanchi kept Xiao Yan in the name of teaching Mu Xueyan kung fu.

Mo Zhaohua shook his head. "No, not really. If Young Master Xiao wants to stay, he will find a way, probably by attacking Xue'er."

At the same time, in Prince Qi’s Mansion.

After dinner, Chu Xuanhan went to Wutong Garden.

When Mo Yaohua saw him, her eyes lit up, "Liu Lang..."

Chu Xuanhan walked to the bed leisurely and sat down on the edge of the bed, "I'm sorry, Yaoyao."

Mo Yaohua's eyes were filled with tears, "Since Liu Lang knew that, why did he agree to that request in the first place?"

Chu Xuanhan looked embarrassed and said helplessly, "If I don't agree, I won't be able to explain to the General's Mansion."

Mo Yaohua shed tears, "It will be difficult for Yao'er to see Liu Lang again, let alone get pregnant."

Chu Xuanhan comforted her, "The condition is that you can only stay for two nights, but it doesn't say that you can't meet. Isn't this the case?"

Mo Yaohua took the opportunity to put forward a condition, "Liu Lang is right, then in a few days, can Liu Lang accompany Yao Er back to her parents' home?"

"Is Yao'er's health such that she can go out?" Chu Xuanhan didn't want to, but he couldn't refuse directly and make her cry again.

"Not now, but it should be fine after the confinement period." Mo Yaohua had a hard time sitting still during the confinement period.

She was stimulated repeatedly during the confinement period and vomited blood every time, which made her already weak body even more deficient in qi and blood.

"Okay, let's talk about it then." Chu Xuanhan agreed temporarily. If he didn't want to go then, he could find an excuse.

"Liu Lang, are you still angry with Yao'er because of Jinqiu?" Mo Yaohua was sure that it was Jinqiu who drugged him and hated her so much.

When this matter was mentioned, Chu Xuanhan's face darkened. "No, Yao'er, don't think too much about it. Let it go."

Mo Yaohua had to clear herself out and clear up the misunderstanding, "Does Liu Lang still think that it was Yao'er who asked Jinqiu to do this?"

Chu Xuanhan shook his head. "If that were the case, I would have killed her long ago. I spared her life just to find out the truth."

After he calmed down, he thought about it carefully. Although he did not dispel his suspicion of Mo Yaohua, he did have other ideas.

For example, Jinqiu was eager to protect her master, so she acted on her own and secretly attacked. Another example is that she had already betrayed her master and was bribed by others.

"Liu Lang really believes Yao'er?" Mo Yaohua was still thinking about explaining, but couldn't help but be happy when he heard that, "Instead of lying to Yao'er?"

Chu Xuanhan felt even worse after hearing this, "Yaoyao, do you no longer believe in me?"

"Believe it!" Mo Yaohua said solemnly and firmly, "Yao'er will always believe in Liu Lang."

Chu Xuanhan stayed in Wutong Garden for a short time before going to Mingyue Residence.

Yuchi Jiyue was dissatisfied, "Why did my husband go to Wutong Garden again? Didn't you promise to go once every half a month?"

Chu Xuanhan corrected, "It's two nights a month. You should go and see it occasionally, otherwise it won't be good if it gets out."

Yuchi Jiyue was angry, "What's wrong with that? In the harem, many concubines may not even see the emperor once a year."

Chu Xuanhan coaxed her in a good-tempered manner, "I don't mind it, but I'm afraid Yue'er will be criticized for being jealous."

"Your Majesty, is this for me?" Yuchi Jiuyue was delighted, and although she didn't smile, her expression looked much better.

"It's for the woman I love." Chu Xuanhan persuaded, "Yue'er, give me a child."

Yuchi Jiyue was eager to get pregnant with his child, but she pretended to be shy and said, "Okay..."
