When Qin Han returned to the palace, Xin Nianyan was already up.

The two had lunch together. Xin Nianyan didn't let him feed him anymore this time. He held the spoon in his left hand and filled the food himself.

"Your Majesty, if you enter the palace today, will the Emperor be in trouble for you?"

Xin Nianyan awkwardly took a spoonful of white porridge and looked at Qin Han.

"No, why would the emperor embarrass me?"

Qin Han shook his head, put a piece of vegetable on Xin Nianyan's porridge.

Xin Nianyan ate it in one gulp, feeling a little confused.

"The queen was so angry yesterday that she didn't complain?"

"Of course I will file a complaint, but brother Huang is the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong."

"After she finished her complaint, the emperor sent me to the palace to ask a few questions, and then I realized that the queen's behavior was lacking."

"She was punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall."

Qin Han smiled and watched her eat.

On weekdays, he was the only one in the palace, and eating was just a routine matter.

Now that he had a meal with someone, he realized that just having a meal could make him enjoy and relax so much.

"Really or not, are you so relieved?"

Xin Nianyan opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"I thought I wouldn't be punished for contradicting the queen so much yesterday. I would be grounded if I didn't say anything."

"It's been banned, but it's the queen who's been banned for fifteen days." Qin Han nodded seriously.

"Your Majesty is so awesome!" Xin Nianyan praised with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xin Nianyan continued to eat.

After dinner, Xin Nianyan planned to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Qin Han sent her to the carriage and watched her go away. He stood at the door of the palace and sighed softly.

The distance between the Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion was about two quarters of an hour. The car was swaying. Xin Nianyan took a nap and soon arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She didn't return home all night. Last night, Qin Han only sent someone to send back news that she was staying at the palace tonight. He didn't say much about the specific situation. At that time, he was worried that Xin Nianyan was almost worried, so he didn't give any instructions.

So as soon as he entered the courtyard, Xin Nianyan saw Xin Wenyuan's unattractive face.

"Sister stayed out all night, how are you doing with the prince?"

Xin Rouer asked gently from behind, but her eyes were full of provocation.

Xin Nianyan had a headache and didn't really want to talk to her, so she turned sideways and left.

"Sister, don't leave in a hurry. Father is here. Don't you want to explain your whereabouts last night even if you stay up all night?"

Xin Rouer grabbed her and just touched Xin Nianyan's injured hand.

Xin Nianyan raised her hand and slapped her hand away. She didn't use any strength, and the back of Xin Rouer's hand turned red instantly.

"Father, look at her!"

Xin Rouer's eyes were red with pain, and her face was filled with grievances.

"Yan'er, did you stay at Prince Han's residence last night?"

Xin Wenyuan didn't look at Xin Rou'er, frowned and asked Xin Nianyan.

Xin Nianyan nodded, "Yes, the prince said that he would arrange for someone to come back and inform him."

Ah, what if that’s not the case? If you didn’t spend the night in Prince Han’s Mansion, why should you stay in a bridge cave?

"Have you informed me? You are so shameless! My prime minister's face has been completely embarrassed by you!"

Xin Wenyuan frowned angrily, pointed at Xin Nianyan's nose and scolded him.

Gu Shuang, who had just finished his housework, came from the other side. Seeing how angry he was, he quickly stepped forward to give him some relief.

"Okay, sir, why are you so angry about this? Yan'er hasn't said anything yet."

Xin Nianyan frowned and thought for a moment, "If father wants to know the details, he may have to send someone to the palace to inquire."

"Yesterday the queen announced that I had entered the palace and took the opportunity to attack."

When she said this, her eyes glanced at Xin Rou'er, and what she was thinking about was whether Xin Rou'er and the queen could live together peacefully like they did in the previous life without her being the target of bullying.

"My daughter was made to kneel down for half a morning and was soaked in the rain for half a morning. Then she fainted and woke up this morning."

When she said these words, her expression was very cold, not even remotely resentful, which made Xin Wenyuan obviously stunned.

The daughter of his prime minister committed such a crime outside, but he had no idea about it. Instead, King Han got the news and went to save his daughter...

Xin Wenyuan felt a rare sense of guilt. He had indeed neglected Xin Nianyan too much.

"Sister, what mistake did you make? The Queen will punish you like this."

Xin Rou'er looked confused and innocent, "The Queen is gentle and virtuous, and she never gets angry with Rou'er. Is there some misunderstanding?"

Xin Nianyan sneered and raised the corners of her lips, "So I told my father to send someone to the palace to inquire about it."

"Today, His Majesty said that she had failed in her moral conduct and punished her by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and grounding her for fifteen days."

"Now that you are saying that the empress is gentle and virtuous, are you dissatisfied with His Majesty's oral instructions?"

Xin Rouer was startled and waved her hands repeatedly.

"Of course not, maybe the empress has made some mistake..."

Xin Wenyuan heard something was wrong. What she meant was that His Majesty punished the Queen because of what happened yesterday?

He suddenly remembered that today in the imperial study room, everyone had left, only King Han remained...

I'm afraid not, but I stayed here specifically to seek justice for her.

Being able to be valued so highly by King Han, even allowed His Majesty to order the punishment of the Queen...

When did his daughter have such weight?

"That's all, go back to the yard and rest, don't catch the wind again."

Xin Wenyuan waved his hand and looked at Gu Shuang again.

"Arrange a doctor's visit for Yan'er. Spend the money that needs to be spent, and your health will be better."

Xin Nianyan didn't feel much about this father's rare care, and it could even be said that he had no fluctuation at all.

She blessed Xin Wenyuan slightly and returned to her small courtyard.

No matter how healthy I am, I am still very tired after being caught in the rain yesterday.

As soon as Xin Nianyan returned, she fell down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

Even Xiaozhu helped her take off her outer shirt gently.

After falling asleep, she had a dream.

First, I dreamed about the painful days in the cold palace in my previous life, and the past tortured by Xin Rouer kept recurring in my dream.

Dusk falls, and the courtyard is filled with mist.

Xin Nianyan was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale, and he kept mumbling in his sleep.

"Go away, go away..."

Xiaozhu heard the noise and came in to check, and quickly stepped forward.

"Miss, are you okay..."

Xiaozhu reached out and touched Xin Nianyan's forehead, and found that it was surprisingly hot.

She still had a fever after all, and she was so dizzy from the fever that her face looked painful and she kept shaking her head, as if she was afraid of something.

"Doctor, doctor!" Xiao Zhu quickly walked out of the room and went to find the doctor.

After a while, Xin Nianyan's door was pushed open, and it was not Xiao Zhu who came in, but Qin Han.

He walked to Xin Nianyan's bed and sat down, put his hand on her forehead, frowned, and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

He was worried that this girl might have a fever, so he took a look, but he didn't expect that she actually had a fever.

He poured out a pill as white as jade and fed it to Xin Nianyan's mouth, but at this time, Xin Nianyan was still in a nightmare, covered in sweat, and resisted everything that came close in panic.

The medicine couldn't be fed in, so Qin Han reached out and held her good hand, lowering his voice and constantly comforting her.

"Don't be afraid of Yanyan, I'm here."

"Don't come over, don't come over..."

Xin Nianyan closed her eyes tightly, and the hair on her face was soaked with sweat and stuck to the sides of her cheeks.

Qin Han held a handkerchief and kept wiping it for her, unable to stop feeling distressed.

What did his Yanyan dream about that made him so afraid?

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here and I will protect you."
