"Your Majesty, I want to go and tell my husband to let him leave the palace first."

The queen glanced at her and said slowly, "Why are you so anxious? Why don't we go back together then?"

Xie Chunchao: "My mother and concubine have not been feeling well recently. I originally scheduled my husband to go to Jueyin Temple in Changtai to pray for my mother and concubine. It is time to leave today. I want to go to the palace to see him off."

The queen asked jokingly, "Chaochao will not come back after leaving the palace, right?"

"How could it be?" Xie Chunchao smiled and stepped forward to hug the queen's arm and act coquettishly, "I will definitely come back if I promise to accompany you."

"Go ahead. I will send someone to go with you to prevent you from getting lost in the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." Xie Chunchao's smile became brighter and brighter, and he looked innocent and ignorant.

"go quickly."

After Xie Chunchao left, Qiaoyun, the aunt beside the queen, asked quietly, "Empress, are you just going to let her go like this? Will she already know something? How about we..."

Qiaoyun said and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The queen glanced back at her and said, "She will come back."

Xie Chunchao calculated the time after going out. He did not go directly to Tai Chi Hall to find Lin Jingrong. Instead, he went back to the room to change clothes. After three o'clock in the day, she walked out of the house in gorgeous clothes.

She glanced at the palace servants who were cleaning on the corridor, turned her head and said, "Feng Qing, let's leave quickly. If we stay late, we won't be able to come back later."

A eunuch with a white face and beardless figure, a feminine figure and a smile on his face appeared in front of Xie Chunchao, "Slave Jiang Laifu sent the princess out of the palace on the order of the empress."

Xie Chunchao nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, father-in-law."

This eunuch seemed ordinary, but Xie Chunchao did not dare to underestimate him. The fact that the queen sent him here meant that he must have something special about him.

Xie Chunchao shuttled through the endless palace passages. The high red walls on both sides looked like monsters with teeth and claws, or like the undead crying and wailing.

Depressed, restrained, lonely.

When Xie Chunchao arrived at the Taiji Hall, the emperor was still handling government affairs in the front hall, while Lin Jingrong stayed in the side hall to rest.

Xie Chunchao pushed the door open, walked around the screen, and called, "Shocking."

Lin Jingrong was sitting leisurely by the window with his head down reading a book. A pot of tea was heating on the carved pear wood table, and mist was rising. Half of his delicate eyebrows were covered by the mist, making him more worldly and otherworldly.

He heard the sound and looked up. The affection in his black eyes was stronger than the red flowers outside the window.

"Chaochao, you are here." He glanced at the eunuch behind Xie Chunchao calmly, and said with a smile, "Let's go."

Xie Chunchao: "I'm sorry, I have to stay in the palace for a few more days. I'll take you back first."

Lin Jingrong closed the book, her eyes slightly startled, "Didn't we agree to go back together?"

Xie Chunchao smiled back and said, "The Queen will allow me to stay in the palace for a few more days. Liyang is far away to marry Qing Geer. I think the Queen misses her so much that she leaves me to relieve the pain of missing her."

"That's it." Lin Jingrong's eyes as bright as stars showed a little bit of reluctance. He held her hand with his slender fingers. He didn't hold it directly, but first gently pinched Xie Chunchao's fingertips, and then inch by inch. It climbed upwards, making Xie Chunchao blush and his heart beat.

She couldn't help but start to think wildly. Ever since Lin Jingrong expressed his feelings to her, his behavior had become more and more seductive, like a vixen in a storybook.

"When I'm not here in the morning, I think about it in the morning, and I think about it in the evening, and I still think about it at night."

Xie Chunchao blushed instantly, threw away his hand and mumbled, "What are you talking about? There are outsiders here."

The eunuch behind Xie Chunchao answered in time, "The princess and Mr. Lin are really in love with each other, which is enviable."

Xie Chunchao turned his head and said, "My husband is good at everything, but he always has no control over his words and says anything that is not embarrassing." The eunuch complimented him and said, "That's because Mr. Lin really likes you, Princess."

"Okay, hurry up and pack your things. I'll take you out first. If you wait a little later, the palace door needs to be unlocked."

Lin Jingrong stood up after hearing this, brushed the hem of his clothes, and said, "I have nothing to pack, so I can leave now."

The eunuch sent by the queen led the two of them out of the palace. When the eunuch was not paying attention, Lin Jingrong whispered into Xie Chunchao's ear, "I have done everything you asked me to do."

Xie Chunchao's eyes showed a bit of dazzling light, and she knew that Lin Jingrong would not let her down.

She looked sideways at him and mouthed silently, "Thank you."

After leaving the palace gate, Xie Chunchao hurriedly said before the eunuch could speak, "Father, my husband is going to Jueyin Temple in Changtai. He will be there for more than a month. I want to see him off again."

The eunuch looked troubled, "But... the key to the palace gate will be released later."

"Don't worry, there's still time." Xie Chun said, "I have also told the Queen about this matter."

When the eunuch heard that Xie Chunchao mentioned that the empress could no longer stop him, he agreed.

The carriage drove slowly along Zhuque Avenue, with the curtain blocking the eunuch's visiting gaze. Lin Jingrong dared to ask in a low voice, "Chaochao, did something happen in the palace?"

Lin Jingrong slept in the Tai Chi Hall last night and didn't hear anything strange, but this morning Yu Ning came to send him a message and asked him to find a way to notify Bai Qiusheng to meet at Canglang Pavilion outside the city.

He also said mysteriously and nervously that no one must find out about this.

"Yeah." Xie Chunchao thought for a while, but he didn't hide anything about the queen from him.

"The Queen is weird. The eunuch who came with me today is also to monitor me. She probably wants to imprison me in her palace as a hostage."

Lin Jingrong said: "Looking at his sinister look on his face, you can tell he has no good intentions."

"Why does the queen want to imprison you? What does she want to do?" Lin Jingrong suddenly thought, "Is it for her son?"

Xie Chunchao nodded, "The queen only has a son and a daughter. If not a son, who can she be?"

Lin Jingrong held Xie Chunchao's hand with concern and fear, "It's too dangerous. You can come with me, or we can go back to the house first. With my father here, she doesn't dare to do anything to you."

Xie Chunchao shook his head, "The queen dare not do anything to me for the time being, and I don't want to break up with her. I will return to the palace later, and you can go to Jueyin Temple in Changtai as planned."

"I..." Lin Jingrong met her gaze with stubborn eyes, "I don't want to leave, I want to be with you."

There seemed to be a little residual panic and fear in his eyes, but he still followed her without hesitation. Xie Chun smiled suddenly and she said, "Listen to me, I won't be wrong."

"If you act rashly, you will harm me."

Xie Chunchao's last sentence seemed to hit Lin Jingrong's Achilles' heel. His bright eyes became dim and his eyebrows drooped, like a puppy that had been rejected by its owner.

Although Xie Chunchao could not bear it, this matter was of great importance and she must not act emotionally.

"I have a father here, you don't have to worry about me."

Lin Jingrong's voice was dull, "You... must pay attention to your safety."

Lin Jingrong thought to himself that he was obviously not in Shanling, but that didn't mean that he couldn't come back quietly.

Although Shanngling looked peaceful now, it was just the calm before the storm. How could he leave her here and stay away from her?

He knew the ability of King Liao and her intelligence and bravery, but he still felt uneasy.
