To be honest, such absurd words sound unbelievable, let alone that person is the crown prince. Chu Ci didn't want to believe in such words, but on the other hand, if it was just a rumor, why did those people go to great lengths to make the crown prince die?

  I didn't expect this reason.

  At night, Chu Ci lay on the couch waiting for Prince Gong to return, playing with the star chain in his hand while thinking about what happened during the day.

  Chu Ci felt that she couldn't keep things hidden in her heart, so she thought about waiting for the prince to return and then telling him about today's events.

  However, unexpectedly, Chu Ci did not wait for the prince's return and fell asleep.

  Waking up again, it was already daylight.

  Chu Ci changed into a new set of clothes and went out to take a look, Chen Lan was already waiting outside. Chu Ci looked at him in surprise and asked: "Where is the prince?"

  Won't it be dawn soon and Emperor Xian is still not back?

  Chen Lan bowed her head and replied: "Your Highness has just returned and gone to take a bath in the hot spring."

  "Where is Tangquan..."

  At the words, Chen Lan suddenly raised her head and looked at her in surprise. Chu Ci immediately reacted to what was going on and quickly grasped his thoughts: "Uh, it's not what you think, I'm just worried about Your Highness."

  As soon as she said this, Chen Lan was even more unbelievable, but Chen Lan had been punished for this matter and did not dare to speak disrespectfully to Chu Ci again, so he did not dare to say his thoughts out loud.

  Chen Lan eventually told Chu Ci the way to Tangquan Palace, but Chu Ci was too afraid to go, and only pretended to be calm and called Xuan Shi to return to the palace to wash up and change clothes before going to the main hall to wait for the prince to come down together for breakfast.

  It wasn't long before Emperor Mo Li walked over, and Chu Ci had been brewing her opening lines for a long time. She was about to speak as soon as the Crown Prince sat down, but before she could make a sound, she saw Emperor Mo Li sit down beside her and slowly ask in an emotionless tone, "Did my consort want to go to Tangquan Palace just now?"

  Chu Ci's face flushed with a hint of red, and she involuntarily raised her head to glare at Chen Lan standing beside her. However, Chen Lan had already prepared herself and lowered her head, ignoring the gaze cast upon her.

  "Does the empress miss me?" Emperor Chi's tone was still languid and casual, but he looked quite pleased, even when drinking tea, his mouth was slightly curved.

  "......Alright, alright."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Chi raised his eyes and looked at her: "Are you okay?"

  At the sight of his gaze, Chu Ci felt like he was going to die and hastily changed his words: "I miss you so much..."

  The emperor's gaze finally softened slightly and asked: "Did you wait for me last night?"

  Chu Ci looked at the Crown Prince with a crumbling expression, hesitating about how to answer this question correctly, and finally chose to tell the truth: "Yes..."

  However, Emperor Xuan heard this and although his eyebrows were slightly raised, he still spoke indifferently: "Didn't I tell you not to wait?"

  Chu Ci nodded hastily: "I was wrong..."

  She apologized and then very keenly sensed that the prince's mood was good, hooked his lips, and suddenly understood that he had been teased by the prince.

  Chu Ci plucked up her courage and asked him a question: "That... Your Highness, what did you go to do yesterday?"
