Dou Qingyi's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at the man in front of her with some panic: "Your Highness..."

Chun Tao, who was following behind her, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness."

Lu Zhaoyan looked at Dou Qingyi coldly without saying anything and without asking her where she was going with this outfit.

There were too many emotions hidden in those eyes that Dou Qingyi couldn't understand.

Chuntao also truly felt the prince's anger.

Last night, Sister Huizhi was beaten to death by Crown Prince Gang, and today the Crown Prince came to her house again to question her...

She secretly glanced at her wife, fearing that she would end up like her sister Huizhi, and she dared not utter a word.

Dou Qingyi calmed herself down, stepped aside, and said gently to Lu Zhaoyan, "I didn't know that Your Highness came here to pick up Qi'er and Liuying's wedding gift."

By moving the two children out, she hoped that Lu Zhaoyan would calm down for the sake of his son and Qianji Pavilion.

Although I don't know what he is angry about.

However, Lu Zhaoyan obviously saw through her thoughts and said to her mercilessly: "I don't care whether you are going to get something or go to Qianji Pavilion to ask for help. You'd better make everything clear today."

Dou Qingyi's heart skipped a beat: "Your Highness..."

Lu Zhaoyan went to the front yard without looking back.

Dou Qingyi looked at his back with hurt.

He actually... doesn't even want to enter her room?

"lady."

Chuntao looked at Dou Qingyi nervously.

Dou Qingyi said: "You can leave now. I am enough for His Highness."

"Yes."

Chuntao felt relieved.

Lu Zhaoyan stood facing the courtyard gate, staring at the sun and facing the draft.

Cui Hu, who was following him secretly, touched his chin and said, "Your Highness, what is this——"

Ji Feng: "Avoid suspicion."

Cui Hu: “Uh…”

Dou Qingyi didn't want her servants to see that she was unpopular, so she sent them to the backyard early.

She untied her cloak, straightened her clothes, and walked towards Lu Zhaoyan with graceful steps.

She calmed down and asked calmly, "I wonder why Your Highness wants to find Qingyi to question her."

Lu Zhaoyan said bluntly: "Dou Qingyi, was it really you who spent a good night with me in Niushui Town in the southwest?"

Dou Qingyi smiled bitterly: "Is it me or not, Your Highness, don't you know? Your Highness had already acknowledged Qi'er and me in front of His Majesty, and now that you have become the Crown Prince and have a new love, do you think I'm an eyesore? Let me guess, will Your Highness still doubt that Qi'er is not your own flesh and blood?"

Lu Zhaoyan looked at her coldly: "I saw you drink the contraceptive soup with my own eyes."

Dou Qingyi said calmly, "Qi'er is the guardian unicorn of the country. How can a mere contraceptive soup prevent him from being born? Your Highness has already asked these questions several months ago. Do you intend to question me every once in a while?"

Lu Zhaoyan's eyes fell on Dou Qingyi's face, not missing any of her expressions: "Who cured your face?"

Dou Qingyi never expected Lu Zhaoyan to change the subject so quickly.

Her eyebrows twitched violently, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

"who are you?"

"Sir, don't come over here! Don't look at my face... I'm ugly... I don't dare to offend your eyes!"

He really didn't watch it.

Many years later, I appeared in front of him with my divine appearance. I thought he would be deeply amazed, but the way he looked at her would never be even one-tenth as good as the way he looked at Bai Liu.

Dou Qingyi suppressed the deep jealousy in her heart and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Didn't I say that? After parting ways with His Highness, I met a quack doctor who cured my face. Later, I found out that I was pregnant, so I went back to the inn to look for His Highness, but unfortunately, there was no trace of His Highness."

Lu Zhaoyan narrowed his eyes: "Is it Bai Liu?"

Dou Qingyi shuddered and looked at Lu Zhaoyan in disbelief: "Did she tell you that?"

Lu Zhaoyan snorted coldly: "As expected."

Dou Qingyi covered her mouth.

She knew she had fallen into a trap. Bai Liu didn't say anything at all. He was just testing her.

"You have changed a lot since then. Not only your appearance, but also your words and actions remind me of Bai Liu."

At first, Lu Zhaoyan did not think of him in a bad way. There are so many people like him in the world.

Until the misunderstanding with Xiaobai was resolved, many details that I had never paid attention to suddenly became clear in my mind.

Once, he and Bai Liu took a convoy mission to Yaowang Valley.

He asked Bai Liu why he wanted to go on a escort mission, and if he needed money, he had it.

Bai Liu told him that what she wanted was not silver, but a kind of medicinal herb, and she wanted to see if there was any in Yaowang Valley.

"It's another friend you don't know. She's a little timid. Once I cure her, I'll take you to see her!"

It was a mission that even the experienced escort masters were unwilling to take, but Bai Liu took the risk for her friend.

But how did that friend repay her?

When he thought of this, Lu Zhaoyan's murderous intent almost overflowed from his eyes: "You have known her for a long time, right?"

Dou Qingyi listened to his extremely firm tone and knew that there was no point in quibbling.

She simply stopped pretending, smiled coldly, and said frankly: "Yes, I do know her, and I also know His Highness. In fact, I met His Highness earlier than she did!"

Lu Zhaoyan frowned.

He didn't remember meeting Dou Qingyi.

Dou Qingyi recalled: "Your Highness, have you forgotten? The day before the post station, it rained heavily on the road. Your Highness and I were trapped in the tea shed together. My maid even asked Your Highness to borrow an umbrella. Later at the post station, I saw Your Highness again. Your Highness was burned. I asked the maid to bring the burn ointment to Your Highness."

Lu Zhaoyan had completely forgotten about borrowing the umbrella.

All I remember is that a kind-hearted maid brought him a box of burn ointment, which Xiaobai applied to him personally.

"It seems that Your Highness has really forgotten."

Dou Qingyi's eyes were red with self-mockery. "That night I saw Bai Liu hurried to the inn. I wanted to go and say hello to her, but I went to the wrong house and lost my innocence... When I woke up, I was going to die, but I found out that the person was actually His Highness..."

"Your Highness, you only have Bai Liu in your heart, but Qingyi admires you..."

Her tears fell in big drops.

Lu Zhaoyan looked at him with sharp eyes, and did not feel any sympathy for her because of her tears.

"Dou Qingyi, put away your tears and cry in front of His Majesty."

Dou Qingyi suddenly raised her head and looked at him with great hurt: "Your Highness!"

Lu Zhaoyan said coldly: "The person who was with me that night was not you. I will go to the palace to report this to my father. You can take care of yourself."

After saying that, he walked out of the yard without looking back.

Dou Qingyi's face suddenly changed: "Your Highness... Your Highness!"

Lu Zhaoyan walked to the main courtyard in one breath and stood at the door, staring for a long time.

Cui Hu couldn't stand it anymore, so he jumped down from the branch and said to Lu Zhaoyan, "Your Highness, do you want to go in?"

"No, go to the palace."

Lu Zhaoyan wanted to take Xiaobai to see his father, but she was sleeping at the moment and he couldn't bear to disturb her.
