"Yunli, what should I do?" Zhen Huan asked anxiously.

Her voice was filled with panic and helplessness, as if the whole world was about to collapse.

Prince Guo felt a pain in his heart when he saw Zhen Huan's terrified expression.

He knew that the emperor had already entered the palace. If Zhen Huan went out at this moment, the two of them would definitely collide head-on.

Prince Guo quickly thought about his response, and finally pointed to the screen behind him and said:

"You'd better hide behind the screen and wait until the emperor leaves before coming out!"

Zhen Huan nodded, not daring to delay for a moment, and hid inside immediately.

Yunli didn't have time to tidy up his messy clothes and hurried out the door.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw the emperor coming over with Yuan Che in his arms, holding Hongzhan in one hand, and Su Peisheng next to him holding Princess Lingxi.

Prince Guo's heart tightened, but he quickly regained his composure and knelt down to salute:

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

When the emperor saw Prince Guo, he smiled, waved his hand to signal him to stand up, and said loudly:

"Get up, I'm here to visit relatives today, no need to be polite!"

Prince Guo stood up and stood respectfully aside.

He secretly thanked his lucky stars that he had hidden Zhen Huan behind the screen in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

But at the same time, he also felt a deep helplessness and pain.

When facing the emperor, he must maintain his status and etiquette as a subject; but when facing Zhen Huan, he has feelings that are hard to let go. This contradiction makes him feel tormented.

"My Royal Brother, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to the palace so that I could prepare!"

Prince Guo tried his best to make his tone sound more natural and spoke to the emperor with a smile.

The emperor laughed and patted Prince Guo on the shoulder:

"You also know that the Seventh Prince is suffering from smallpox, and the Sixth Prince and Lingxi are temporarily living in the Yangxin Palace. Today, they suddenly told me that they wanted to go out of the palace to play! After thinking about it, I decided to bring the children to your place for a walk, which can also be regarded as going out of the palace!"

Prince Guo then breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the emperor had come to the palace on a whim.

Yuan Che was able to walk slowly. When he saw Prince Guo, he stretched out his little hand for Yun Li to hold, and kept shouting, "Father, hug me!"

Yunli felt a lump in his throat. This son was born with great effort by Meng Jingxian, but he didn't take him seriously.

He picked up Yuan Che and played with him using a rattle.

Zhen Huan was hiding behind the screen. When she heard the emperor talking about Hongzhan and Lingxi, she suddenly couldn't hold back her tears. Zhen Huan knew that she couldn't cry out loud, so she covered her lips tightly with her hands and let the tears slide down and fall to the ground one by one.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince will be safe with the Imperial Concubine taking care of him!" Yunli said.

"Of course, I am relieved that you are under the care of Doctor Wen and the Imperial Concubine is quite knowledgeable in medicine. You are more comfortable in the palace. I am the emperor and it is not easy for me to leave the palace!"

The emperor sighed, picked up Lingxi and glanced towards the screen.

Zhen Huan seemed to feel someone was looking at her, and she shrank nervously.

Lingxi was young and playful. She looked at the peacock painted on the screen and asked:

"Father, what is that big bird? Its wings are colorful and beautiful! How about you take me to have a look?"

The emperor looked in the direction of Lingxi's finger and laughed, "This is a peacock. Come on, I'll take you to have a closer look. If my Lingxi likes it, Seventeenth Brother, you'll have to give it up!"
