Chu Mochen stared at him and spoke slowly for a long time: "That's it. Just step back."

Chu Mochen waved his hand: "Everyone, step back."

The eunuchs and maids of honor exited the palace one after another.

Chu Wanxiang held his forehead and said distressedly: "After all, the identity of the Prince Consort is special. If word spreads..."

Chu Mochen said: "We can just keep it secret, there is no need to make it known to everyone."

Chu Wanxiang nodded.

After a while, Chu Mochen said again: "Tonight's dinner..."

"I will go there in person, you don't have to worry." Chu Wanxiang explained for him: "I have already told my mother, I don't need to trouble you, I will go in person."

Chu Mochen muttered: "Your body..."

"It's okay, I will take care of myself." Chu Wanxiang said softly, "Don't worry."

Chu Mochen nodded: "If that's the case, then it's my lady's fault."

"You have a good rest and I will come see you tomorrow."

Chu Mochen nodded: "Well, I'll have someone prepare some meals for you."

Chu Wanxiang smiled, hugged him, turned around and walked out of Lingxuan Pavilion.

"Princess!" As soon as Chu Wanxiang stepped out of the threshold, he heard the maid's surprised voice: "What are you..."

Chu Wanxiang looked up and saw a strange woman kneeling on the ground, crying and begging her: "Princess, my husband-in-law is suddenly seriously ill. I hope you can go and see my husband-in-law."

"Who is this?" Chu Wanxiang frowned and asked Qiuyue on the side: "What's going on?"

"My slave doesn't know either." Qiuyue said blankly, "She suddenly appeared and blocked the princess's way."

"I am Mrs. Zhang, the housekeeper of the Prince Consort's Mansion. Your Royal Highness, please go and see the Prince Consort!" Mrs. Zhang cried and begged, her eyes swollen like peaches, and she looked very miserable and haggard.

"Nanny Zhang?" Chu Wanxiang was stunned.

"Princess, the prince-in-law's condition has suddenly worsened, and the imperial doctor is helpless." Granny Zhang said, "Please go and see the prince-in-law."

Chu Wanxiang's heart trembled, and he immediately rushed over to help Nanny Zhang up: "Nanny, don't worry, I'll be there right away."

Aunt Zhang wiped her tears and nodded.

Chu Wanxiang told Qiuyue: "Call the imperial doctor."

"Yes." Qiuyue took the order and left.

Chu Mochen stood there and watched Chu Wanxiang help Granny Zhang into the room, frowning.

After a while, the imperial doctor came in a hurry.

"How is the prince-in-law?" Chu Mochen walked up to him and asked.

"To answer your Majesty's question, the prince-in-law is indeed suffering from a low-grade fever caused by heatstroke. I have just prescribed the medicine. He will be fine as long as he takes the medicine on time." The imperial doctor bowed his hands.

Chu Mochen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." Then he turned to Aunt Zhang: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nanny Zhang stood up and wiped the tears from her face: "Princess, the Prince Consort still needs to stay in bed to recuperate for a few days. Please take good care of him."

"Yes." Chu Wanxiang responded gently, "Mommy, walk slowly."

"Take care, princess." Nanny Zhang saluted, turned around and walked out the door.

Chu Wanxiang looked at her retreating back, a hint of worry appeared in his eyebrows.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Chu Mochen noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked.

Chu Wanxiang shook his head: "It's okay."

"I'll take you back to the palace."

"No need." Chu Wanxiang pulled his sleeve and shook it gently: "I will walk outside with you to relax."

Chu Mochen stroked her head lovingly: "Okay."

The two of them walked hand in hand in the garden. Chu Mochen looked at Chu Wanxiang's exquisite profile and felt happy: "Wanxiang, you are so beautiful."

Chu Wanxiang lowered his eyes shyly and his ears turned red.

"Wan Xiang." Chu Mochen suddenly said: "I like you very much."

Chu Wanxiang was stunned: "Huh?"

"I have liked you for a long time." Chu Mochen said frankly: "I don't deny that I have had other women, but it is you who I love. I know you will be angry and difficult.

Yes, I will change it, are you willing?"

"Of course I am willing!" Chu Wanxiang said happily: "But we must respect each other and tolerate each other. We are not allowed to be sour and jealous, let alone bully me, ignore me,... we are not allowed to marry a concubine." She pulled the trigger.

After counting all the no-nos on his fingers, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Did you hear that?"

Chu Mochen said dotingly: "I obey, madam."

Chu Wanxiang stood on tiptoes and pressed a kiss like a dragonfly on his lips...

The sweet and affectionate look between the two fell into a pair of eyes in the dark, and they suddenly became angry, clenched their fists, and turned around to leave.

"Princess..." Chu Mochen felt something strange about her and called her worriedly.

"Huh?" Chu Wanxiang came back to his senses and looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Chu Mochen rubbed her soft hair, "Let's continue walking."

Chu Wanxiang nodded and held his arm: "Well, let's go."

The two of them walked side by side, the setting sun elongating their figures.

After walking for a long time, Chu Wanxiang suddenly stopped: "I want to drink osmanthus syrup. Let's buy some and drink it back."

"good."

The two selected the sweet-scented osmanthus syrup and walked back along the stone road.

While Chu Wanxiang drank the sweet soup, he said vaguely: "I want to drink almond tofu soup."

Chu Mochen smiled: "I want to eat it too."

"I'll get the kitchen ready and we can eat in a moment."

"No need." Chu Mochen said, "I'll go to the imperial kitchen to get it."

Chu Wanxiang nodded: "Okay."

"Let's go pick fruits." Chu Wanxiang suggested.

"You're tired. Let's rest today and go shopping tomorrow." Chu Mochen put his arms around her waist and coaxed her gently: "Be good."

Chu Wanxiang said coquettishly, "But I've had enough sleep today."

"I'll carry you."

"Where are you taking me?"

"You can go anywhere you want."

Chu Wanxiang pursed his lips and smiled.

The two of them were walking forward hand in hand. Chu Wanxiang suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Mochen: "Fourth brother, do you know, I encountered a very strange thing today."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Chu Mochen asked with interest.

"Last night I dreamed about the scene when I woke up in Fengluan Palace more than three years ago. I saw myself lying in a cave, surrounded by pitch black, with nothing but a skeleton. I was scared.

I was so frightened that I tried my best to crawl out of the cave, only to find myself by a river. I didn't dare to go back to Fengluan Palace, so I found an inn nearby to stay."

As Chu Wanxiang spoke, his face turned pale and his eyes were red: "But in this inn, I unexpectedly met the princess who died three years ago, your mother. When she saw me, she excitedly rushed towards me to kill her.

I. I was no match for her, and she broke my neck."

"What happened next?" Chu Mochen asked.

Chu Wanxiang sniffed: "Later..."

Chu Mochen raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes: "I shouldn't ask, you continue to talk."

Chu Wanxiang choked up for a moment: "Later, I was rescued and came ashore. When I woke up, I found that there was a man beside me. I thought he was His Highness the Crown Prince because he looked exactly the same as the Crown Prince. But when I took a closer look, I realized that there was something wrong.
