Chu Suifeng pushed the door open and saw Rong Heqing sitting on the bed in a cloak. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The fur on the cloak was shiny and smooth, enough to wrap Rong Heqing completely, with a large part of it hanging on the bed. Judging from its length and size, it was obviously worn by a man.

"Where did it come from?"

Rong Heqing asked back: "Didn't you see anyone come in?"

Chu Suifeng: "I went to have a meal in the middle. I guess someone came while I was away. Tsk, they really know how to take advantage of the situation."

He guessed who it was without asking.

Rong Heqing smiled and pulled his cloak closer, "Where are the people?"

"In his own room. Do you want to see him?"

Rong Heqing nodded, and Chu Suifeng turned around, "I'll go call him."

"No, I'll go myself."

She stood up and grabbed her coat, and Chu Suifeng turned his back.

Rong Heqing dressed up, walked up to him holding the cloak and said, "Let's go."

When he went out, the cold wind brought the smell of new snow and blew on his face. Rong Heqing took a deep breath, exhaled the foul air, and felt a lot lighter.

Guan Zhen saw the two people coming out and said with a smile: "The princess woke up at the right time. The prince is waiting for the princess to have dinner together."

He led the two of them to the yard next door.

Qin Yunxian brought a lot of people with him, and one courtyard could not accommodate them all, so the abbot prepared a large courtyard for him. Guards patrolled outside the courtyard with knives, and the defense was very tight. When they saw her, they stopped to greet her.

Rong Heqing nodded in return.

The lights in the courtyard reflected the snow, making the surroundings bright.

There was a thick curtain hanging on the door of the main house. When Rong Heqing approached, he just saw Liang Changjin coming out from inside.

Seeing her, Liang Changjin cupped his hands and said, "Princess."

"Is Yuwan awake?"

"I woke up once in the middle, ate something, and went back to sleep." The sadness between Liang Changjin's brows completely disappeared, and he even looked a little relieved.

Rong Heqing was stunned, "Is Yuwan getting better?"

Liang Changjin looked at her gratefully, then bowed and said, "I still have to thank you, Princess. The prince brought a Mr. Mei here. After examining Yuwan, he wrote a new prescription. After a few injections, Yuwan's face has turned red. He also said that it was thanks to the princess that she gave Yuwan the life-saving medicine before, otherwise the situation would be worse now."

"It's just a small favor. Go and accompany Yu Wan."

Liang Changjin nodded and left quickly.

Rong Heqing recalled the medicine Qin Yunxian had given her before. He said at the time that it was made by someone in the mansion. It seemed that it was made by Mr. Mei.

Guan Zhen opened the door curtain for her, and she smelled a warm fragrance before she entered.

There was a light smoke coming out of the incense burner in the middle of the room, and the charcoal fires in the charcoal basins on both sides were burning brightly, and the heat hit you in the face as you entered.

"Prince, the princess is here." Guan Zhen shouted at the door.

Qin Yunxian was sitting at the table drinking tea. He looked over when he heard the voice.

"Why hasn't your Highness eaten yet?" Rong Heqing walked over and put his cloak on a stool beside him. "Wait for me?"

Chu Suifeng stayed at the door and didn't come in. There were only two of them in the room.

Qin Yunxian nodded, "I didn't wait long. I was busy dealing with things here and didn't have time to eat."

Rong Heqing looked around and said, "I heard from Liang Changjin that you brought a miracle doctor here. Where is he?"

"He went back." Qin Yunxian poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "He doesn't like snowy days, and he doesn't like monks even more, so he went back to Yundu immediately after treating Su Yuwan. If you want to see him, you can go to the palace."

Rong Heqing took a sip of tea. It tasted a bit bitter, so she put it down after taking a sip. After a moment, she quietly moved aside.

"Have you talked to Liang Changjin? What does he plan to do? What about the Yundu prefect?"

Qin Yunxian looked at her lips opening and closing, and laughed, "Aren't you tired of worrying so much?"

He shouted to the outside, "Send some vegetarian food over."

"Yes."

Guan Zhen responded.

The vegetarian food at Linghe Temple tasted unexpectedly good. Rong and Qing didn’t have high expectations at first, but after taking one bite, they couldn’t stop eating.

Neither of them spoke at the table, concentrating on eating. Ronghe Qingyi ate too much without realizing it, and his stomach felt a little bloated, so he couldn't help but touch it with his hand.

Qin Yunxian said something to the monk who came to pack up. A quarter of an hour later, someone brought something in a white porcelain cup and placed it in front of Rong Heqing.

Rong Heqing opened it curiously and found it was a cup of pear soup.

She looked at Qin Yunxian in surprise, and Qin Yunxian raised his chin towards the porcelain cup: "If you don't like tea, drink some pear soup."

The pear soup is still warm and tastes sour and sweet, which makes people feel better.

"I have talked to Liang Changjin. He plans to take Su Yuwan to the emperor to expose Duke Rong's crimes. Is the account book in your hands?"

Rong Heqing nodded, "I will present it to the emperor personally."

"The prefect of Yundu has already gone back after collecting the assassin's body. Now the temple is full of our people. It is inconvenient to go down tonight because of the heavy snow. We will leave tomorrow after the monks shovel the snow."

Qin Yunxian glanced at the cloak on the stool after he finished speaking, "Your cloak is dirty and inconvenient to wear. You can keep this cloak and return it to me when you return to Yundu."

Yonghe Qing paused in drinking the pear soup, raised his eyes and stared at him deeply.

Neither of them spoke, and the silence became ambiguous.

The light from the oil lamp flickered slightly, casting their shadows on the wall, and they stared at each other silently.

After a long while, Rong Heqing spoke first. She asked softly, "Qin Yunxian, you didn't let me investigate Liang Changjin before, but now that I'm involved, why don't you object and help me clean up the mess?"

Qin Yun sat in the wheelchair, his hands casually placed on the armrests on both sides, and asked calmly: "I object, so you won't investigate?"

"Investigate." Rong Heqing said firmly.

"That's it. It doesn't matter to you whether I object or not. So my objection is useless. I can only help you."

Qin Yunxian smiled faintly, "As for helping you - first, I promised your father to take good care of you, and second, you and I are engaged, and we are legitimately engaged. It is my duty to help you, and you don't have to take it to heart. If I can use you in the future, I won't be polite to you."

This sounds pleasant to the ear.

Rongheqing's brows relaxed slightly.

"I don't know what you want to do, but I know you know what's going on. I won't ask." Qin Yunxian took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes and said, "I remember the contents of the contract very clearly."

Rong Heqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief.

"but--"

Qin Yunxian put down the teacup and changed the subject. He raised his eyelids and looked at her solemnly, "Don't put yourself in danger next time."

Ronghe Qing's heart tightened, and he swallowed the pear soup and argued softly: "It was the danger that took the initiative to involve me. You also know that the group of Jingwei has been watching me."

"Jingwei?" Qin Yun narrowed his eyes leisurely.

"They are the group of people behind Wu Caixue." Rong Heqing remembered that Qin Yunxian didn't know about Jingwei, so he explained it to him.

Qin Yunxian's brows never relaxed after hearing this. "After what happened, I'm afraid you have become the person they want to get rid of the most."

Rong Heqing had already given up, "Let them just think about it, I won't die."

Not knowing where she got this inexplicable confidence from, Qin Yun glanced at her casually and said, "I will ask the people from the Imperial Observatory to move up the wedding date as much as possible. It won't be so easy for them to take action once we enter the palace."

Rong Heqing's eyes flickered, "Wait, the Imperial Observatory listens to you so much?"

Qin Yunxian: "..."

After a moment's silence, he suddenly pushed his wheelchair out and said, "It's getting late, go back and rest."

Rong Heqing: “???”

"Hey - why are you running, Your Majesty -"

She pulled the wheelchair from behind, and Qin Yunxian fiddled with it for a long time but the wheelchair didn't move.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and whispered, "Stop it."

The voice was low and gentle, and Rong Heqing's ears felt numb. He subconsciously let go of the wheelchair and rubbed his earlobe.

Qin Yunxian took the opportunity to pull the wheelchair away.
