On the wedding night, I beg Your Majesty to give me a soup

That night, Feng Jia checked into Lushan Posthouse, and Xing Zhao led his men to tightly guard the posthouse inside and out.

The soldiers who followed them camped nearby.

Lin Youyi lived in the backyard, and Huo Yuyin and Luo Ran were arranged to live in the front yard. They arrived in the afternoon, but have not seen Lin Youyi until now. Luo Ran wanted to ask her senior sister why she didn't see them.

But he saw the master playing with a dagger, looking lost in thought. Luo Ran didn't want to disturb him, but wondered, "What's wrong with the master lately? He's always in a daze."

Huo Yuyin, dressed in white, stood in front of the window, her fingers gently stroking the varying depths of the lines on the dagger. Her movements were so gentle, as if she was afraid of bumping the dagger, but her eyes were so intense, as if she was staring at it closely, worried that it would disappear in the next second.

This dagger appeared out of nowhere in her room. Although there was no word, she knew it was a warning from the Queen Mother. If she dared to tell the truth about the Queen's infertility, then the incident many years ago would no longer be a secret.

Huo Yuyin was distressed. Over the years, the only thing she had done against her will had made her feel guilty all these years. She didn't expect that she would be threatened now.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Luo Ran ran over excitedly, "It must be Senior Sister."

With a creak, it turned out that the person outside the door was not Lin Youyi.

Luo Ran's crystal eyes flashed with disappointment, but then she looked at Aunt Xu outside the door expectantly and asked, "Did Senior Sister summon us?"

Nanny Xu shook her head and bowed, "I would like to see Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess."

Luo Ran was confused, "There's no..." What Grand Princess?

"Come in." Huo Yuyin's low voice came from the room. Luo Ran turned back in confusion and shock. It took him a while to come to his senses and let Aunt Xu come in.

Huo Yuyin solemnly placed the dagger into the brocade box, then said, "Luo'er, you go out first."

Luo Ran understood that her master wanted to get her away. Before leaving, she looked back at the closed door in confusion.

"How did Aunt Xu recognize me?" Huo Yuyin was the elder sister of the late emperor, but she got married and moved out of the palace very early. After her husband passed away, she had never left the princess's residence. After so many years, she thought that few people in the palace would know her identity. Aunt Xu could recognize her, "What about your majesty and the queen?" Did Li Duanjin and Lin Youyi also know her identity? Huo Yuyin's face changed.

"Your Highness has his own reasons for not revealing his identity. Your Majesty respects Your Highness, and the Queen is unaware of this."

Huo Yuyin's expression was calm. Exposing her identity would undoubtedly cause more trouble, but it was good like this now.

"Madam Xu, please tell me what you want us to do," Huo Yuyin gestured.

"I dare not. I am following the orders of His Majesty to ask the Grand Princess to keep the secret. The Queen does not know about the rumors in the capital, and His Majesty is worried that it will affect the Queen's treatment." said Nanny Xu.

A hint of deep meaning flashed across Huo Yuyin's eyes. It turned out that this was the reason why the Queen hadn't summoned her all afternoon. It seemed that the Queen didn't know about their arrival yet.

Huo Yuyin said, "Don't worry, Madam Xu, I won't mention it in front of the Queen."

Madam Xu nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "His Majesty asked me to tell Your Highness that the palace will always be your home."

Looking at Nanny Xu's back, Huo Yuyin felt even more difficult to decide.

Not long after Nanny Xu left, Lin Youyi came to Huo Yuyin's place.

Luo Ran and others were sent away, leaving only Huo Yuyin and Lin Youyi.

Seeing Huo Yuyin's serious expression, Lin Youyi hesitated and asked, "Master?"

"Leave the palace now." Huo Yuyin said. (End of this chapter)
