Rong Heqing and Qin Yunxian entered the study together. King Annan was stunned for a moment, "Why are you together?"

"My daughter ran into the prince by chance. He said he wanted to discuss something with the father. Since we were on the way, we came together." Rong Heqing stood at the door and asked softly, "What are you discussing? Can I listen?"

Although it was a question, her big, twinkling eyes were filled with: Let me hear it, let me hear it!

King Annan laughed and shook his head, "You'll have to ask the prince."

Rong Heqing immediately turned around and winked at Qin Yunxian.

Qin Yunxian smiled, "Since the princess is also going to Yundu, there is nothing she can't listen to. If someone asks about what happened today, the princess will know how to respond."

Hearing him say this, Rong Heqing immediately straightened his back and walked in and sat down, folding his hands on his legs, looking well-behaved.

Zhou Ze closed the door from the outside, and King Annan spoke first, "I have thought about what the prince said before."

Qin Yunxian was not surprised at all, and asked with a smile: "Does the prince have any other conditions?"

King Annan glanced at Rong Heqing and said, "Now the lives of my family are all in your hands. What other conditions can I have? I just hope that you will keep your promise and take good care of my children when you arrive in Yundu."

After experiencing many ups and downs, King Annan cherishes this hard-earned family affection even more.

Qin Yunxian also looked at Rong Heqing and said in a gentle voice: "Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. I want to cooperate with the prince, so I will naturally keep my promise."

Yong Hwa-Ching smirked.

If anyone wants to be taken care of by a sieve spirit, don't let her take care of him and fall into a pit.

Getting back to the point, Qin Yunxian tapped the armrest with his fingertips and asked, "How did Jian Yuan and Prince Wu deal with it?"

King Annan felt upset when he mentioned these two people. He frowned and said, "Last night I went to the dungeon to see Jian Yuan and told him the identity of Wu. He asked for a cup of poisoned wine to end his life."

"He..." King Annan licked his lips, with mixed feelings, "After all, he followed me for so many years, and even if he didn't make any contributions, he still worked hard. Apart from colluding with the Wu family and working for them, he didn't do anything else to betray me. Now that he is dead, all grudges are wiped out. I had him buried with honor, and announced to the public that it was the Wu family who hired someone to kill him, and when they were discovered, they got angry and wanted to attack me, and Jian Yuan was poisoned to death while trying to save me."

"Wu was jealous by nature, and she relied on her favor to become arrogant. She hired someone to kill someone. She brought this upon herself. I depose her from her position as concubine and remove her name from the family tree. Considering her hard work in raising children, I grant her a thin coffin and bury her outside the city. Her children will be raised by Lu."

Qin Yunxian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll do as you say."

Rong Heqing quietly raised his hand, "Um, have you found out the power behind the Wu family?"

“No, those men in black seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air. The guards who chased them that day were quickly thrown off and nothing was found out.” King Annan pinched his eyebrows in annoyance.

"There's no need to worry too much." Qin Yunxian suddenly spoke, Rong Heqing raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"If they wanted to attack the prince, they would have done it long ago. There is no need to wait until now. Since they let Wu Caixue enter the palace, it means that their own strength is not enough to confront the prince's palace head-on. Otherwise, why would they hire someone to kill them? If they had taken action that day, Rong Ji and the princess would have been in great danger."

King Annan was thoughtful, "Maybe they hadn't arrived in South City yet? Or maybe they didn't have enough manpower and didn't want to waste it?"

Qin Yun nodded, "No matter which possibility it is, they are not powerful enough for now, so we just need to wait and see."

When talking about that day, a strange mask with a black background and red patterns suddenly appeared in Rong Heqing's mind.

She almost forgot that she still owed Pojun a favor, but she didn't know when they would meet again...

"Does the princess remember it?"

Rong Heqing looked up blankly, "Ah?"

She looked at King Annan and then at Qin Yunxian, and both of them looked like they had reached a consensus.

Rong Heqing: “?”

What did you say?

Qin Yunxian raised his eyebrows, "What was the princess thinking about just now?"

"Nothing, I just remembered the master who saved me. What did the prince say just now?"

Qin Yunxian's eyes changed for a moment, so fast that it was impossible to catch. He repeated the words he had just discussed with King Annan. Rong Heqing listened carefully and nodded, "Remember."

"Okay, that's settled. I'll come to pick up the Second Young Master and the Princess on time tomorrow."

After that, the two discussed the details. The sun was setting outside the window, and King Annan simply invited Qin Yunxian to have dinner with him. Qin Yunxian thought for a moment and agreed.

*

That night, King Annan had a table set in the flower hall. Outside the window were colorful flowers swaying in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance. The hall was brightly lit, cups were shining, and the wine and delicious food made people's mouths water.

This time, not only Concubine Lu and Rong Ji came, but Rong Ruse and Rong Qiao were also released.

When Rong Heqing saw the brother and sister, she was worried that they would cause trouble, but it turned out that she was overthinking. At the dinner table, they were as well-behaved as quails. They would squeak when poked and would not move unless poked.

There was none of the arrogance that would cause trouble in her yard.

Rong Heqing glanced at Rong Qiao with a fake smile, "You little bastard, you're picking on the weak, right? You're going to Yundu."

Rong Qiao, who was eating vegetable leaves obediently, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked around in confusion. Why did he seem to sense a hint of murderous intent?

However, after looking around and not seeing anything unusual, he withdrew his gaze in disappointment and continued eating.

"Rong Qiao, when you go to Yundu in the future, you must listen to your sister more and don't act recklessly. I can't control you if you get into trouble. You should take care of yourself."

King Annan glared at him, then turned to Qin Yunxian and said, "I entrust my son and daughter to you, Your Highness. I offer you a toast."

Qin Yunxian picked up the wine cup, smiled gently, and drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as the King of Annan put down his wine cup, the Princess picked up hers. She said earnestly, "Qing'er has been in poor health since she was young and cannot endure hardships. I hope Your Majesty will take care of her on the road and try to go slower. If you feel uncomfortable on the road, Your Majesty, please don't despise me. I am very grateful."

Qin Yunxian also agreed with a smile.

Rong Heqing felt sad, because the person who loves children the most in this world has to be their mother.

She served the princess a bowl of soup and whispered, "Don't worry, mother. I'm not a child anymore. I can take good care of myself. You should also take care of your rest. Don't stay up late sewing clothes. It will hurt your eyes."

The princess smiled and touched her face, "Okay."

The meal was quite enjoyable for both the host and the guests. After the meal, King Annan sent Qin Yunxian out. Rong Rushe suddenly said to Rong Heqing, "Sister, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Rong Heqing was surprised, but seeing her serious expression, he followed her out.

Rong Rushe brought her into the pavilion, and without waiting for Rong Heqing to speak, she knelt down with her skirt lifted up.

Rong Heqing was startled and looked around quickly, "What are you doing?"

She subconsciously wanted to pull her up, but Rong Rushe avoided her hand and choked up, "Actually, I don't want to beg you, but I have no other choice."

Rong Heqing paused and vaguely understood what she meant.

Rong Rushe slowly raised her head, the lights outside the pavilion fell into her eyes, reflecting a watery red.

She gritted her teeth and said, "My brother and I were ignorant before and offended my sister. I'm sorry! I don't ask you to forgive me, I just hope that you can take care of my brother for the sake of our blood relationship. He is also your brother. When he gets better in the future, he can also help you a little."

As she spoke, she kowtowed three times to Rong Heqing.

She is not a good person, but she is a good sister.

Rong Heqing felt mixed emotions and reached out to pull her up. "We all prosper together and we all suffer together. Even if you don't kneel to me, I won't let anything happen to him."

Rong Rushe burst into tears upon hearing this and kept thanking him. It took her a long time to control her emotions and she turned around and left.
