After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

The second prince won a great victory in the battle with the Dongxuan Kingdom. On the day he returned to the capital, he was conferred the title of prince and was granted residence in Prince Jing's Palace. Envoys from the Dongxuan Kingdom also entered the capital with the second prince, and the two dynasties signed a cease-war agreement.

The Dong Xuan envoy who came to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor of the Le Dynasty was of noble status. Princess Dong Xuan Linlang also accompanied him. According to the agreement in the letter of ceasefire, Dong Xuan was willing to send Princess Linlang to Beijing. From then on, the Le Dynasty and Dong Xuan became friends, benefiting the people of both sides.

The emperor issued an edict that a banquet be held in the palace three days later to welcome Prince Jing, welcome the envoys of Dongxuan to the court, and congratulate Princess Dongxuan on her arrival in the capital.

The banquet was held in Qionghua Garden. It was grand in scale and unprecedented in scale, demonstrating the style of a great country in every aspect.

The court officials took their seats one by one according to their ranks. Tang Mumu sat down early with Rong Yan. When they heard the words "Your Majesty has arrived", everyone stood up and bowed to greet him.

During the banquet, there was the sound of clinking glasses, string music, the fluttering sleeves of dancers, and the conversations of courtiers. It all mixed together and sounded noisy. Tang Mumu was only focused on eating and drinking, and Rong Yan was only busy pouring wine and serving food for her. Time passed quickly.

Tang Qingzhi also came to attend the banquet today. She has never liked this kind of occasion, so when she found an opportunity, she quietly withdrew and walked all the way to the back garden before she dared to stop and breathe in the fresh air.

Lian Xin caught up with her after a while and put the cloak in his hand on her. "Miss, why didn't you tell me you came out? It's cold and dewy here. I'm worried you might catch a cold."

Tang Qingzhi walked to the side and leaned against a stone wall, enjoying the cool breeze for a while, which finally helped to dispel some of the boredom in her heart.

"It's okay. I'll just be out for a little while. There are so many people at the party, no one will notice me. I'll be back soon."

Lianxin knew that his young lady never liked such occasions, so he went with her.

Just as she was about to go back, she heard the sound of people talking coming from the corridor on the other side of the stone wall. When she heard the words "King Chen", Tang Qingzhi couldn't help but pause.

"Miss, let's go quickly." Lian Xin urged in a low voice. It was a dark and windy night, and no one knew who the visitor was. Lian Xin was afraid that there might be some danger, but she also knew in her heart that since the young lady had heard what the visitor said was related to King Chen, she would not leave easily.

Tang Qingzhi glared at Lianxin and pulled her behind the stone wall. Lianxin didn't dare to make any sound. The master and servant crouched down and waited for a long time, and only came out when the footsteps faded away.

"Miss, it seems to be the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Miss Chu. What do they mean?"

Tang Qingzhi couldn't help but frowned as she looked at the figure that had merged into the darkness. She didn't hear what was said clearly, but she only heard the maid beside Chu Xiaoxiao seemed to be comforting her, and said that if the eldest prince knew about it, he would not let their Chu family go.

"It doesn't matter, go back first."

Tang Qingzhi subconsciously quickened her pace and did not dare to take a breath until she returned to her seat. She looked for the position of King Chen and saw that he was no different from usual, talking to a minister with a smile on his face.

Tang Qingzhi felt vaguely uneasy, and her eyes hardly left Prince Chen during the entire banquet. Even after three rounds of drinks and the banquet was over, she saw Prince Chen seemed to be a little tipsy and was being supported by someone as he left. She subconsciously wanted to follow him.

"Miss, what are you doing? The general and his wife are waiting for you to return home with them."

Lian Xin hurriedly grabbed Tang Qingzhi who was about to leave, her face full of anxiety. She knew that her young lady would only lose her composure when it came to matters related to Prince Chen.

Tang Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, leaned over and whispered a few words in Lianxin's ear, and then Lianxin ran away in panic.

Tang Qingzhi walked quickly to her parents and bowed, "Father and mother, Mu Mu and I agreed long ago to have a private conversation tonight. I will go to find her now. Can I stay in the palace tonight?"

Lin Suwei has never liked Tang Mumu. She originally wanted to scold her daughter, but because Tang Zhengfeng was there, she swallowed the words back.

Tang Zhengfeng smiled when he heard that. No matter what, Rong Yan was still a prince. Now that he had lost his military token, he would no longer be a threat to other princes. If the General's Mansion could get closer to Prince Rong's Mansion, he would always be able to save some face in front of others.

"Go ahead. You and your sister haven't seen each other for a long time. It's always good to talk more. I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Yes, thank you father."

Tang Qingzhi jogged all the way until she finally saw Prince Chen on the corridor of the palace. There was no servant around him. Seeing him suddenly tilt his body and hit the eaves pillar beside him, Tang Qingzhi was startled and looked around. This was Prince Chen's courtyard in the palace. The eunuch who sent him back had already left. Presumably, there was no other servant around him. She bit her lip and ran towards him quickly.

"Your Highness Prince Chen." Tang Qingzhi supported Prince Chen through their robes. The latter seemed a little confused. He looked at her for a long time before he realized who was in front of him. Suddenly, he pushed the person away with force.

"Let's go...get out of here quickly..."

Tang Qingzhi steadied her steps, frowned, and when she looked up, she could see the face of King Chen in the moonlight. His face was flushed, and even his eyes seemed to be stained with a layer of blood. Anyone could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him.

Tang Qingzhi didn't care about anything else and was extremely anxious. Fortunately, this place was only a few steps away from the room. Tang Qingzhi ignored King Chen's obstruction and helped him quickly return to the room.

She helped him sit down beside the bed. Seeing that his face was still flushed, Tang Qingzhi put her hand on his face without thinking and felt the temperature. Then she frowned and asked, "Your Highness, do you have a fever?"

She was pushed away unexpectedly. King Chen was very strong and Tang Qingzhi fell to the ground. Hearing the woman's scream, King Chen seemed to come to his senses. He stretched out his hand to support her but retracted it in an instant.

He seemed to have used up all his strength to utter a complete sentence, "Get out of here right now, I... I've been drugged."

How could Tang Qingzhi not understand after hearing all this? She shuddered all over, and was shocked to realize that Chu Xiaoxiao had actually made such a plan.

Tang Qingzhi endured the pain and struggled to get up. Her hands and feet were trembling. She didn't know if it was because of the fright or the fall. She ran to the door quickly but paused. She turned her head and stared at King Chen for a long time. Almost in an instant, she shuddered.

This time she was scared by herself and the thoughts in her heart. She didn't even know that she was such an unscrupulous person in her bones.

Tang Qingzhi took a deep breath, as if mustering up the courage, and walked up to King Chen and squatted down again.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Tang Qingzhi's voice was trembling.

Prince Chen frowned and looked at her. The desire in his eyes was like a flood that was about to burst out, but he still tried his best to control himself.

Before Tang Qingzhi could react, the silver hairpin in her hair had already fallen into the hands of Prince Chen. In order to stay awake, he used the sharp silver hairpin to pierce his arm without hesitation.

Tang Qingzhi's face was pale, and her hands were holding each other to prevent each other from trembling. It took her a long time to find her voice.
