Hearing Yu Xi's voice, Zichen helped Yan Ran and came to the table.

However, after Yanran sat down, she ran into trouble. It turned out that she injured her right hand, and now after it was bandaged, she couldn't hold the chopsticks.

Yanran's eyebrows moved, she looked at the food on the table and smiled bitterly.

At this time, Zichen next to him woke up and smiled too, then stood up and filled up the food, ready to feed it to Yanran.

Seeing Zichen carrying the rice bowl neatly, scooping a spoonful of food and handing it to him, Yan Ran chuckled softly, her cheeks turned red, and she glanced sideways at Zichen, quite surprised.

"Open your mouth." Zichen ordered, and at the same time he leaned closer to Yanran and said softly: "I have never served anyone before, but I am the first to do so. You must cherish this opportunity."

Yanran couldn't laugh or cry, and was quite surprised by Zichen's hospitality. When Yanran caught everyone's incredible eyes out of the corner of her eye, her face instantly turned red. She gently pushed Zichen's arm with her left hand and said, "Forget it. I

Try using your left hand." She was really embarrassed.

Seeing Yanran actually using her left hand to pick up the chopsticks, Zichen snatched her chopsticks away displeased and said angrily: "I'll just eat it for you, why are you so stubborn?"

While Zichen was speaking, he pushed the spoon in front of Yanran's face and put it to Yanran's mouth.

Minmin snickered on the side, but was glared at by Yanran, not taking it seriously. Seeing the two of them being so harmonious, Minmin was secretly happy.

"Eat quickly, it's very tiring to hold it like this, you know?" Yan Ran didn't open her mouth for a long time, and Zichen lost his patience. He frowned and urged.

"Guo'er, I'm so enthusiastic, so why don't you just give me a bite?" Min Min fanned the flames.

A blush rose from Yanran's cheeks, and she glanced at Minmin with some embarrassment, then looked at Zichen, and hesitantly opened her mouth.

A complex and warm feeling surged in Yanran's heart. It would be great if she could enjoy such treatment openly.

Yan Ran looks forward to it.

The meal ended in Yanran's absent-minded reverie.

Because everyone was very tired, after dinner, they all went back to their rooms to rest.

However, Lu He was not sleeping at this time. He was thinking about his grandfather and grandson who were taken back by the doctor, and wanted to see with his own eyes whether that man had abused them.

So, he took advantage of the moonlight to sneak into the hospital quietly and secretly spy on the situation.

In a relatively clean room, Lu He found the grandfather and grandson.

At this time, the blind old man had changed into a pair of clean and simple old clothes, and it seemed that he had taken a bath.

The little girl also packed up neatly. Although her clothes were a bit big, they were still clean. Moreover, the little girl's hair was tied up, and her pretty face returned to its original look.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Lu He was very satisfied. It was already good for them to have a full meal and a room to sleep in.

Lu He gently knocked on the door and said, "Little sister, open the door. I am the eldest brother."

The little girl who was beating her grandfather's back in the room heard Lu He's words, quietly got up, opened the door for Lu He, and let him into the house.

After Lu He entered the room, he inquired about the doctor's attitude in detail. He thought it was because of the money, or the doctor saw how smart the little girl was, so he treated them fairly well.

"Little sister, you have to rely on yourself from now on. If I have time, I will visit you often." Lu He touched the little girl's head and told her.

The little girl nodded in understanding and raised her eyes to look at Lu He.

Seeing that they had a place to live, Lu He left the hospital and went back to sleep after giving some instructions.

The next day, Yanran and the others left the town and headed straight for the capital.

Because we were getting closer and closer to the capital, the journey was safe and smooth, and we arrived in the capital two days later.

Standing at the entrance of the palace, everyone looked at each other in amazement.

Unexpectedly, all the people who had been with them for several days were of such noble status.

With complicated emotions, they were invited into the palace by Zichen and followed Zichen all the way, looking around.

"Brother, brother! Are you back?" A figure rushed over not far away. Zichen didn't need to look carefully to know that it was Ziting. But he was very confused. Ziting was rarely so enthusiastic towards him. Why was he today?

?

Zi Ting was wearing a pale pink dress with a slightly red face. When she ran towards Zi Chen, her eyes glanced at Yan Ran lovingly, intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing Zi Ting's purpose, Zi Chen chuckled, and he knew that Zi Ting would not be so enthusiastic about him for no reason. She didn't miss her brother, but her lover.

Seeing Yanran again, she leaned closer to Minmin, pretending to look straight ahead and not touching Ziting's loving eyes.

Behind Zi Ting, Meng Ke followed slowly, saluting Zi Chen and Yan Ran one by one, quite politely.

However, the viciousness and murderous intent hidden in his eyes were cleverly concealed by his gentle smile.

"They didn't get rid of them on the road!" Meng Ke looked at Zichen and Yanran without any trace, thinking in his heart.

Looking back on that day, if I hadn't been rescued by Princess Dongque, I would have died in their hands.

It turned out that at a critical moment that day, Princess Lang Yuying of Dongque suddenly appeared and rescued Meng Ke from Zi Chen's hands.

This Lang Yuying was originally here for Meng Ke, because she had already sent someone to get to know Meng Ke's background and knew that Meng Ke was against the imperial court. She wanted to use Meng Ke's power to achieve the purpose of entering the palace Beiming and sit back.

Fisherman's profit.

She happened to be wandering around Changzhou Mansion in those days, and got the news of the fight between Yulongxuan and Zhanlong Pavilion, so she hurried over and happened to see Meng Ke being restrained. She decisively took action and snatched Meng Ke back.

When she met Meng Ke face to face, Lang Yuying looked at the handsome and masculine Meng Ke in front of her, and her heart was deeply attracted.

But when the big plan came, she put aside her children's personal relationship and talked straight to the point about her purpose with Meng Ke.

When Meng Ke listened to Lang Yuying's story and knew that she came here for the Beiming Kingdom, he did not agree at first. Although he hated the Mu family for taking away the kingdom of the previous dynasty, he still hesitated if he was asked to betray his country.

Seeing Meng Ke's hesitation, Lang Yuying took a step back and only said that after capturing Beiming, she would only need half of Dongque, and the rest would be left to Meng Ke.

Lang Yuying even seized on Meng Ke's hatred of the Mu family, tried her best to explain the pros and cons, and encouraged Meng Ke to form an alliance with her.

Meng Ke had no choice but to agree to Lang Yuying when he felt deeply that Zhanlong Pavilion was weak. However, he also put forward a condition: to capture Beiming, only ten cities would be given to Dongque, and the rest would be left behind.

Lang Yuying pondered for a moment and agreed readily. She had already made a plan in her heart. If she could take Meng Ke into her own hands, not to mention the ten cities, the entire Beiming would belong to the two of them.

However, she did not tell Meng Ke what she was thinking. After all, the current blow could not tolerate any negligence. She could not be distracted by her children's affair.

After reaching an agreement with Lang Yuying, Meng Ke did not stay with Lang Yuying. Instead, he told Lang Yuying his thoughts and returned to Beiming Palace with Lang Yuying's consent.

He still wanted to use the pretext that he had saved Zi Ting to break into the palace and take advantage of the opportunity to act internally.

Feeling that Yanran moved towards her unconsciously, Minmin was a little confused. After noticing the endless longing and nostalgia in Ziting's eyes, Minmin suddenly understood that it turned out that the princess had fallen in love with Yanran, who was disguising herself as a man.

Thinking of this, Minmin couldn't help but chuckle, put her hand on Yanran's arm without leaving a trace, pinched her gently, and whispered: "You are really a monster, not only do you fascinate men, this woman..."

.Also fascinated." Minmin said, lowering her head to cover her mouth and snickering.

Yanran frowned and glared sideways at Minmin, saying in her heart: "Sister, I'm already very worried, but you still make fun of her, how devoid of sympathy."

"Master Taifu, is the trip going well?" Meng Ke came in front of Yan Ran and asked with a slight smile, knowingly.

Yanran clasped her fists politely and replied: "It's okay. Thank you Brother Meng for your concern. How is Brother Meng lately?" Yanran looked at Ziting and asked Meng Ke.

Meng Ke smiled, understanding what Yan Ran meant, shook his head and sighed: "No improvement at all."

Yanran patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Where there is a will, things can come true. As long as Brother Meng is willing to work hard, good things will definitely come true."

Meng Ke smiled and said nothing. He was determined to win this Ziting, not because he loved her, but because he wanted to use her as bait to intimidate others.

After everyone chatted for a while, Zichen and Yanran went to meet the Queen.

The rest of the people also had a temporary place to live under Zichen's arrangement.

In the queen's palace, Jingnan was extremely excited when she saw the two children returning safely.

Although the child's skin color is darker, his complexion is good and he looks very healthy.

"I am very happy to see that you are back safely. Was the journey safe? Did you encounter any danger?" Jingnan took Yanran's hand cordially and asked with concern.

Yanran felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to withdraw her hand, but felt it was rude, so she had to let Jingnan hold it.

Realizing that Yanran was not in a hurry to pull her hand away, Jingnan smiled and felt very happy. It seemed that this girl's attitude towards her had changed a lot. Was it Zichen's fault?

At this time, tea was served, and Jingnan gave way: "Master, please have some tea."

With that said, he motioned to the palace maid to pass the tea to Yanran.

Yanran was just about to refuse, because her wrist injury had not healed yet, and she was worried that she would not be able to hold the wine glass and it would fall and hit the queen, so she did not dare to take it.

When he was in trouble, Zichen stretched out his hand, took the tea and said: "Mother, the master's wrist is injured and he can't hold the cup, so why don't you come and do it for me."

"Injured? Where?" Jingnan was surprised, worried that something had happened to Yanran. She quickly opened Yanran's sleeves and saw the bandaged wound on Yanran's arm, and asked worriedly: "How do you feel now? Do you need it?
