Although Qingshuang was a little confused, he still nodded in agreement.

"My journey back to Beijing was not peaceful this time. There are still some things that have not been dealt with. Don't let your daughter worry for now."

"Besides, I have come back, but whether I am safe or not is another matter."

King Jin spoke coldly from the side.

"If my future sister-in-law saw the holes on your body, she would be heartbroken."

Qingshuang was surprised to find that there was indeed a faint smell of blood in the air. She thought she was being too suspicious.

"My Lord, are you injured?"

"It doesn't matter."

Yan Qi glared at King Jin.

"Go back and ask Feiying to bring the sorcerer from Jiaozhi to the Prince of Jin's Palace. There's no need to inquire about what's going on in the palace. I have my own plans.

Also, the news of my return must not be leaked. Mu Xiao and Jun Jian are still on the road. This is to conceal the fact from your daughter and to keep her safe.

"Yes, I understand."

After saying this, Qing Shuang was about to leave. King Jin gave Qing Shuang another instruction.

"Wait! I am not feeling well. Don't forget to go to the Prince Qin's Mansion and bring Lu Ying to treat me."

Qingshuang looked at Yan Qi, and when she saw Yan Qi nod slightly, she withdrew.

Yan Qi stood up and kicked King Jin.

"Hurry up and get down to business!"

The King of Jin wailed,

"I am so lucky to have a brother like you. You just bully me all day long."

Playing around is just playing around, but after finishing his words, the King of Jin immediately prepared to go out. When he reached the door, he did not forget to remind Yan Qi,

"Look at your red eyes. Even a rabbit can't catch up with you. Go and take a rest!"

After saying that, he flashed out, Yan Qi slightly curled the corners of his lips,

"Stinky boy."

However, my nerves that were tense all the way back finally relaxed.

As soon as the King of Jin walked out of the room, he immediately stopped playing around, smiled evilly, and then ordered the attendants around him,

"Prepare the sedan chair. I want to go to the palace to see my father."

When Qingshuang finished what Yanqi had asked her to do and returned to the Shangshu Mansion, it was already past midnight.

Zhao Huayin was just wearing her pajamas and leaning on the couch reading a book. Liuyun and Dianxue had been sent away by Zhao Huayin to rest.

"girl."

Qingshuang called out softly.

Zhao Huayin put the book down, sat up and got off the couch.

"Why did you take so long? Did His Royal Highness Prince Jin give you a hard time?"

“No. I told His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin what the young lady had ordered, and he ordered me and Feiying to escort the old woman to the Prince of Jin’s mansion.

Feiying was left behind by His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to help, and he also asked me to do some other things, so I came back late. "

In order to prevent Zhao Huayin from knowing that Yan Qi had returned to Beijing, Qingshuang spoke very carefully and did not dare to reveal any flaws.

In fact, because Mu Xiao and the others did not come back, Feiying stayed with Yan Qi.

Fortunately, Zhao Huayin did not have any doubts.

"Does His Royal Highness Prince Jin have any way to confirm the safety of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?"

This is what Zhao Huayin cares about most, and at the end she couldn't help but ask another question.

"Don't worry, young lady. His Royal Highness Prince Jin said that the prince is very safe now and will be back soon."

"That's good. I can rest assured now."

After saying that, Zhao Huayin walked to the desk, picked up a pen, wrote a note, and folded it carefully.

"If His Royal Highness Prince Jin can pass the message to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, please send this note with it. If it is inconvenient, forget it."

Now that Yan Qi is already in Prince Jin's Mansion, there is no inconvenience at all.

Qing Shuang replied: "Your Highness Prince Jin will definitely be able to deliver the letter. Please give me the letter, young lady."

Zhao Huayin's anxious heart finally settled down a little, and she said to Qingshuang,

"You have been running around for a long time, you must be tired, so go back and rest early."

After saying this, Zhao Huayin felt sleepy. She didn't feel it just now because she was worried, but now that she was relaxed, she felt tired.

Qingshuang noticed Zhao Huayin's fatigue. Normally, Zhao Huayin would have gone to bed by this time.

"I will help you go to bed first. I came back to see you because I was worried that you would be worried. I have to go out again later. His Royal Highness Prince Jin asked me to send some things over."

"OK then."

Zhao Huayin nodded.

Qingshuang helped Zhao Huayin to sleep and tucked in the quilt for her before disappearing into the night.

"Sister Dianxue, the light in the girl's room has been turned off. I think she has gone to bed. Let's rest too."

"Alright."

Qingshuang went out not because of any instructions from Prince Jin, but because Lu Ying went to Prince Jin's mansion today to treat Yan Qi and found out that Yan Qi's back injury had not healed and it was actually because he was poisoned.

Fortunately, the toxicity is not strong, it will just slow down the healing of the wound.

The detoxifying ointment that Lu Ying prepared on a daily basis could be used, so he asked Qingshuang to go to the medicine house in the Prince Qin's Mansion to get it.

Since it was Yan Qi's injury, Qingshuang dared not be careless and quickly sent the ointment to Prince Jin's Mansion.

Seeing Qingshuang coming to deliver the ointment, Yan Qi frowned indifferently.

"It's just a minor injury. It's not worth all the trouble."

"Although this poison is not strong, if the remaining poison is not removed, not only will the healing of your back and shoulders be slow, but it will also leave horrible scars. Your Majesty doesn't mind, but I wonder if the princess consort will be scared when she sees it in the future?"

After hearing what Lu Ying said, Yan Qi suddenly stopped talking.

Prince Jin, who was standing by, couldn't help but marvel at the sight.

"Little Lu Ying, you are the one who has the ability to make Fourth Brother speechless. If I had your ability, I wouldn't be scolded by Fourth Brother all the time."

Yan Qi glared at him, and the King of Jin shut up tactfully.

Lu Lu smiled when she heard what King Jin said.

"Lu Ying dare not get involved in your two masters' lawsuit. I am just a little female doctor. You should just forgive me."

After saying that, he tied a knot on the gauze that was used to bandage Yan Qi's wound, packed up the medicine box, and retreated with Qingshuang.

"How was your visit to the palace today?"

Yan Qi and King Jin both put away their previous expressions and looked serious.

"It's still the same as usual, wandering around the ladies in the harem. If there's anything to be done, it's handed over to the Prime Minister. He seems to be having a lot of fun."

"If what the sorcerer from Jiaozhi said is true, the target must be our father."

Yan Qi frowned and said,

"Why on earth is there no movement?"

"I don't know."

King Jin shrugged.

"The sorcerer is just guessing, what if he is not accurate? Besides, we don't have any evidence. But I did meet someone when I entered the palace today."

"Who?"

"Our good brother, the emperor. I heard from the palace servants that Prince Xuan has been in the palace for several days to accompany our father and show his filial piety to him. This makes us sons seem too disrespectful."

The corner of King Jin's mouth curled up with a look of sarcasm.

"When has King Xuan ever done a business that loses money? He blamed the emperor a few days ago, and now he is trying to please the emperor so that he will favor him more."

"I'm afraid he has other purposes."

Yan Qi frowned.

"If we talk about intelligence, it has to be my fourth brother!"

King Jin slammed the teacup on the table, earning a roll of the eyes from Yan Qi before continuing.

"I have been pestering the nanny beside my father for a long time, asking him whether his second brother secretly brought something good for my father, and why there is no share for me?

Nanny was so annoyed by my pestering that she had to tell me that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan had not brought anything fun for His Majesty, but had been persuading His Majesty,

Let him go and see the grand gathering of the women in the capital, the flower-viewing garden party."

"Did the emperor agree?"

"I heard that he agreed. King Xuan was very eloquent and gave a lot of reasons to persuade him. When he heard that all the beauties in the capital would go to the flower viewing party, how could our father hold back? After all, the Prime Minister is here, and it has been five years since the last selection."

"Then we must be more prepared."

Yan Qi looked up at King Jin with clear eyes.

"Fourth brother, do you mean that they will take action on that day?"
