As expected, the news that Feng Zhan Ye had killed the servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion spread like wildfire in Kyoto again.

The people were already used to it, and many rumors and conspiracies spread everywhere. No matter how outrageous the speculation was, as long as it was related to Prince Duan, people would believe it to be true.

Of course, this matter was also accurately conveyed to the ears of everyone in the palace.

When the court was about to be dismissed, all the ministers left. At this moment, a "bang" was heard in the hall. The teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces, splattering the fragments all over the floor. The palace guards on duty shrank their necks in fear.

"How dare you mention that evil creature to me! If it weren't for him, Concubine Hui wouldn't have gone so crazy that she had to kill my seventh prince to win my favor!"

The man on the dragon throne was furious. He stood up and pointed at Jing'an Bo Lin Yuehong and cursed loudly.

Lin Yuehong angered the emperor so much that he had to bow his head even lower and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, calm down. The Third Prince is now in the residence of the Left Prime Minister. He was assassinated and nearly died. He cannot live without his mother's protection. Please show mercy, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yu laughed in anger, pointed at him and said, "Assassination? Do you really think I don't know about this? He used such a ridiculous reason to deceive you, but you were so stupid that you really believed him. There are so many people in the world, why are the people around him killed repeatedly? In the final analysis, it is all because of his evil spirit, and no one else can be blamed."

"His Majesty......"

Before Lin Yuehong could say anything else, he was interrupted by Emperor Yu.

"Mr. Lin, if you don't want the entire Jing'an Marquis's Mansion and Concubine Hui to be punished together, then don't plead for them anymore. Such a jackal mother and son will only drag down the Lin family."

Those eyes already held a threatening tone, and Lin Yuehong knew that if he continued to beg, there would probably be no good results.

Just as he was about to kowtow and leave the hall, an eunuch walked in from outside the hall and spoke at the right time.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

Emperor Yu waved at him. The eunuch understood what he meant and walked out of the hall. Soon, a woman in a bright red phoenix robe was helped in.

Without even looking at the person kneeling beside her, she smiled gently at Emperor Yu, bowed respectfully, and asked the eunuch to take the food box from the palace maid and place it on the table beside her.

"I heard that Your Majesty was unhappy, so I brought some cakes to see Your Majesty."

Emperor Yu finally relaxed his facial expression, forgiving her of formalities, and walked over to her, taking her hand and helping her up.

"The Queen has not been feeling well recently, but she is still thinking about me so much. I am really worried about her."

Empress Zou coughed twice, held Emperor Yu's hands softly, and then turned to look at Lin Yuehong.

"Lord Lin, are you here to plead for Concubine Hui again?" Empress Zou frowned at him, her eyes turning colder.

Lin Yuehong was silent for a moment and responded.

Empress Zou pretended to be helpless and said, "Alas, Lord Lin, why are you doing this? This matter has already been decided. Why do you have to embarrass His Majesty again and again?"

After these words came out, Emperor Yu's eyebrows stood up again, staring at Lin Yuehong and said, "That evil creature has repeatedly spread rumors that the Queen framed Concubine Hui, but the Queen just doesn't want to bother with him. Even if you have great reputation in Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, don't speak for him anymore."

Seeing that the emperor was about to lose his temper, Lin Yuehong could only lie on the ground and respond reluctantly.

Empress Zou's eyes darkened, as if she was thinking of something sad. She smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a big deal for me, Your Majesty, please calm down. Even if Ye'er is naughty, children in the world will still stick to their mothers. Otherwise... why not let him go and see Concubine Hui?"

Emperor Yu patted the Queen's hand with great concern and put his arm around her shoulders: "The Queen is really generous. According to folk sayings, Concubine Hui is just a concubine. You are his mother. He should respect you. What about him?"

Empress Zou shook her head and said, "Forget it. He is still young. He may have just been confused for a moment and felt resentful towards me. There is no such thing as an overnight hatred between father and son. Let him meet with Concubine Hui."

Emperor Yu hesitated for a while, then sighed and said, "Well, I'll do as you say."

Not long after Lin Yuehong asked someone to deliver the message to the Jing'an Earl's Mansion, it was taken away by Gu Qingzhi.

When Feng Zhanye saw the content of the letter, he was stunned for a moment, then he carefully read the letter from beginning to end, and immediately stood up from the couch.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingzhi was curious about his sudden reaction and reached out to wrap the fallen winter clothes around him.

"My uncle said... my father allowed me to visit the cold palace." After waiting for several months, the Lin family finally got what he wanted. His whole face turned red with excitement, and he rushed over to hug Gu Qingzhi.

Gu Qingzhi was a little dazed, but was also infected by his emotions. She pursed her lips, put her arm around his back and patted him.

"Azhi, I can finally see my mother."

Feng Zhanye's eyes turned red and he was almost about to cry. He buried his head in her shoulder and tried his best to calm himself.

Gu Qingzhi was afraid that if he was left out like this, his cold, which had not yet fully recovered, would get worse, so she stopped indulging him and reached out to push him back onto the bed.

"Well, if you keep going like this, you might get sick again someday. Just lie down and stay still."

Although Feng Zhanye felt a little unsatisfied, after hearing what she said, he calmed down and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.

"The most important thing now is to get well. You don't want your mother to see you sick, do you?"

Gu Qingzhi tucked the quilt for him and gave him some casual instructions.

Feng Zhanye nodded obediently.

Wu Fang, who had just brought the hot tea, was so jealous of this scene that he put the tray down, rolled his eyes and turned his back.

"Aiya... We are both guards, but the master is really partial. Why are you willing to listen to everything Brother Gu says?"

Gu Qingzhi felt that he was possessed by something and suddenly said such inexplicable words, but Feng Zhanye would not tolerate him.

"If you don't like it, get out."

Unexpectedly, Wu Fang turned around and put on a triumphant smile, and nodded quickly: "Okay! Then Brother Gu, it's worth it!"

After saying this, he left the back hall in two steps, as if he was afraid that Feng Zhanye would regret it.

Gu Qingzhi was speechless at his rogue look. She turned to look at Feng Zhanye, but he was staring at her with sparkling eyes.

"Azhi, are you... sleepy?" The young man asked with anticipation in his eyes and a red face.

"Not very sleepy." Gu Qingzhi answered truthfully, not knowing why.

Feng Zhanye seemed a little disappointed for some reason, and then changed the question: "Then...are you cold?"

Without waiting for Gu Qingzhi to speak, he pulled her hand and squeezed it. Feeling the cold temperature, he hurriedly said, "Oh! Your hands are so cold, they must be frozen. Why don't you come over and warm them up?"

As he said this, he lifted a corner of the quilt and stuffed Gu Qingzhi's hand in it.

"Look, I've made it quite warm here, perfect for warming your hands."

Feng Zhan Ye smiled widely, but there was indeed some of his body temperature left in the quilt, which was warm and very comfortable.

Although Gu Qingzhi was a little confused, she followed him, took off her shoes, got on the bed, and lifted the quilt to cover herself.

"Yeah, it's quite warm indeed." Gu Qingzhi responded casually, feeling the coldness all over her body being dispelled.

The boy's ears turned red instantly. He just uttered "hmm" in a muffled voice, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

For some reason, Gu Qingzhi always felt that after Feng Zhanye knew her gender, he not only stopped being stubborn, but also seemed to be a lot clingier.

Although I'm not used to it, I have to admit that it feels pretty good.
