What? Did her grandfather really want her to hide here for the rest of her life and watch the flowers and plants until she grows old?

Bai Zhixi remained silent, supporting his lower jaw with his hand, he chewed on the food in his mouth without pausing.

Zi Li and Lu Tan didn't even dare to breathe loudly as they silently ate the food that had no appetite. Miss is so pitiful, she was mercilessly abandoned by the Prince Mo, and now that she is locked up by the old general here, she must feel terrible.

The strong sun hung in the sky as Bai Zhixi sat in the pavilion and basked in the sun like a noble Persian cat.

She had walked around the courtyard and was surprised to find no exit. He felt as if he was walking on the spot. The courtyard looked very big, but in reality, there were only two or three main houses and a pavilion.

Where was the exit?

In the pavilion in the pond, a deafening curse suddenly rang out, scaring the butterflies that had stopped on the flowers away.

At this time, the palace was also immersed in joy. The crown prince, Dongfang Chen, who had been unconscious for five days, finally woke up.

This news made the emperor very happy, as all kinds of tonics were delivered to the Imperial Palace in an unending stream.

As Dongfang Chen's real princess, Shangguan Jingyan woke up two days earlier than him, yet did not return to visit her parents, Dongfang Chen, who had always served her with all his heart.

The Queen looked at her and was extremely satisfied with this royal daughter-in-law of hers. She had long ago placed the jade bracelet on Shangguan Jingyan's hand, which could be considered as having recognized her.

”Chen'er, how do you feel now?”

Empress Situ sat on the side of the bed, looked at the Dongfang Chen whose face was filled with wounds, and gently asked.

As soon as the words left his mouth, tears gushed out of his eyes.

Pain in the body, pain in the heart. No matter how heartless and ruthless Empress Situ was to outsiders, she would always look like a loving mother in front of her son.

”Mother, your son is fine. The imperial physician said that you could recover completely after resting for a few days.

Dongfang Chen struggled to sit up, and patted the empress's hands, but he didn't know how to express his gratitude to the person who had always shielded him from the rain and wind.

Thinking about Shangguan Jingyan, Dongfang Chen's pale face revealed signs of worry. I wonder how that silly girl is?

”Muhou, what happened to the young miss of the Shangguan Family?”

Hearing this, Empress Situ's hand that was wiping her tears stopped, hesitating as to whether or not she should tell him that the Emperor had already bestowed Shangguan Jingyan to him to be his princess.

When she raised her head, she saw Shangguan Jingyan walking in with the medicine in her hands, her eyes revealing a smile that could not be hidden. With one glance, he could tell that she was a little girl who was in a state of love.

”Jing Yan greets the Empress, Crown Prince!”

He passed the letter in his hand to a palace maid, then immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

”You should rise!”

Empress Situ lightly said, her tone carrying a trace of displeasure.

After Shangguan Jingyan heard this, he carefully stood up, but did not walk over. They stood side by side with the palace maid, their heads lowered, their eyes emotionless.

The atmosphere became a little more tense for a moment. Empress Situ glanced at her for a moment, then coldly turned around and continued to look at Dongfang Chen with a benevolent expression, with no intention of leaving.

”My Queen Mother, the flowers in the garden are now in full bloom. It is truly a good time to admire the flowers. ”Those concubines who have been in the palace for a long time can go out and take a look to ease their moods. Only then will the palace not be smoky.”

After a long while, Dongfang Chen glanced at Shangguan Jingyan, perhaps because her body was not fully recovered yet, he could see that her body was trembling slightly.

His forehead was already covered in sweat. If he were to continue standing, he would definitely fall to the ground.

”I really forgot my mother when I had a wife.” ”Alright, take a good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow.”

Empress Situ huffed angrily on purpose before she stood up and left.

When he walked in front of Shangguan Jingyan, he looked at her with a profound gaze. Seeing the sweat on her forehead, he suddenly went into an uproar.

It really was him!

”Take good care of Crown Prince. If anything goes wrong, just ask.”

Situ Lan coldly snorted, and then left with the palace maids.

Looking at Situ Lan's disappearing figure, Shangguan Jingyan patted his chest and exhaled. It was as if he was releasing a heavy burden.

His mother was right. Entering the palace was as deep as the sea, and there was danger everywhere. The empress's temper was volatile. If she wasn't careful, she might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

At this time, only Shangguan Jingyan and Du Fang Chen were left in the room, the atmosphere seemed to have become even more tense than before.

”How long are you going to stand there and wait for the medicine to cool down before you send it over for me to drink?”

Seeing that she was so nervous that she had not even regained her senses, like a frightened rabbit, Dongfang Chen could not help but shout out.

His tone carried a hint of playfulness and ridicule, which made Shangguan Jingyan's ears and face flush red, and he quickly took the medicine and walked over to him.

”Are you afraid of me?”

Dongfang Chen suddenly grabbed onto her hand, one of his hands hooked onto her lower jaw, and suddenly moved closer to her face.
