Yun Zheng forced himself to remain calm in front of Ye Zi.

Back in the room, his heart kept pounding "thump, thump" without stopping.

He is now filled with thoughts of the enchanting scenes from before.

I didn't see that coming!

Ye Zi usually keeps a low profile, but in reality, she is quite impressive.

Just as Yun Zheng was gesturing with his hand, Xin Sheng pushed the door open and entered.

"Your Highness, what is this...?"

Xin Sheng looked at Yun Zheng, who was gesturing with his five fingers, in confusion.

"Cough cough..."

Yun Zheng came back to his senses, "My hand is cramping a bit, let me move my fingers."

Xin Sheng stepped forward, "Let me help you with a massage!"

"There's no need, no need."

Yun Zheng waved his hand, "You go get a pot of wine, and have someone prepare a few small dishes to bring over. Later... later go call Ye Zi over here, I have something to instruct her."

Fortunately, it was stopped in time.

I almost mentioned that Ye Zi would be coming over later.

"I will prepare it right away!"

Xin Sheng said, bowing as he exited the room.

Once Xin Sheng left, Yun Zheng finally let out a long sigh of relief and quickly tucked away his sinful claws.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Xin Sheng attended to his daily needs, yet he had no thoughts about Xin Sheng at all, did he?

Why is it that upon seeing Ye Zi's spring light, my mind is filled with wicked thoughts?

"Sigh, it seems this prince is still into older women!"

Yun Zheng silently spoke to himself.

Who the hell said that lolis have three good qualities?

Sisters are the true path!

Yun Zheng, lost in a flurry of chaotic thoughts, quickly shook his head, trying hard to cast aside the wicked notions in his mind.

At the same time, Xin Sheng also prepared the late-night snack and then went to call Ye Zi.

She arrived at Ye Zi's room, where Ye Zi had already dressed and was sitting there in a daze, the blush on her face still lingering.

"Madam, His Highness asks you to come over, saying there is something to discuss."

Xin Sheng said to Ye Zi.

Ye Zi nodded gently, "Mm, I... I understand, I'll be there right away."

For some reason, when Xin Sheng called her "madam" again, she felt a bit shy.

But this title is clearly very normal.

She is Shen Luoyan's second sister-in-law and also a consort personally bestowed by the Emperor.

According to etiquette, these servants in the residence were supposed to address her as Madam.

Seeing that Ye Zi's expression was a bit off, Xin Sheng couldn't help but ask with concern, "Madam, are you feeling unwell too?"

"Nothing, just thinking about things."

Ye Zi gently shook her head, and suddenly recalling Xin Sheng's words, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness, are you not feeling well too?"

She remembered that Xin Sheng had just said the word "also."

"Mm!"

Xin Sheng gently nodded, "Your Highness's hand seems to be cramping a bit."

"Cramp... cramp?"

Ye Ziwei frowned slightly, "Your Highness, how could your hand cramp for no reason?"

"I am not sure either."

Xin Sheng gently shook her head, then opened her five fingers to gesture, "I just saw His Highness moving his hands like this. I wanted to help His Highness with a massage, but His Highness said it was nothing..."

Seeing Xin Sheng's outstretched hand, Ye Zi's forehead suddenly bulged with veins, and her face flushed in waves of heat.

Shameless!

This shameless scoundrel!

Ye Zi cursed inwardly, rising in anger as she made her way to Yun Zheng's room.

Xin Sheng, not understanding why, quickly jogged to catch up.

Soon, Ye Zi arrived at Yun Zheng's room.

As Ye Zi stepped through the door, Yun Zheng felt a wave of murderous intent wash over him.

"Sit down quickly!"

Yun Zheng felt a bit guilty and forced a smile as he invited Ye Zi to sit down. He then instructed Xin Sheng, "Let's discuss a few things; you don't need to attend to us anymore. You can go rest for now!"

"The servant takes her leave."

Xin Sheng politely left, thoughtfully closing the door for them.

Ye Zi did not sit, but glared at Yun Zheng with fiery eyes.

"Not to that extent."

Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly, "I didn't mean to do this! Look, I even had someone prepare food and drinks specifically to apologize to you."

"Apology?"

Ye Zi let out a light snort and gritted her teeth, asking, "Is your hand still cramping?"

"Cramp?" Yun Zheng was taken aback and instinctively said, "My hand doesn't..."

As the conversation reached its midpoint, Yun Zheng suddenly stopped.

Damn!

Could it be that this girl Xin Sheng told Ye Zi about her skills and was showing off?

Damn it!

Do you really want to die this socially?

This girl, really, she just says whatever comes to her mind!

"Cough cough..."

Yun Zheng's old face flushed, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Good... much better, no more cramps!"

Ye Zi glared at Yun Zheng's hand with an unfriendly expression, "Let me help you massage it!"

Rub it?

I still want to rub it!

Yun Zheng secretly complained in his heart, but he repeatedly waved his hand, sitting up straight and said, "No need for that. If someone sees you doing this, it might lead to unnecessary misunderstandings."

Ye Zi shot him an annoyed glare before huffily sitting down.

Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly and quickly picked up the wine jug to pour wine for Ye Zi.

Seeing Yun Zheng's eager demeanor, Ye Zi felt both amused and exasperated.

This bastard doesn't look like a prince at all!

After drinking two glasses of wine with Ye Zi, seeing her expression soften considerably, Yun Zheng finally brought up the serious matter with Ye Zi.

After hearing Yun Zheng's words, Ye Zi couldn't help but snort, "Are you happy now?"

"Definitely!"

Yun Zheng laughed heartily, "I can't wait to head to the North the day after I get married! I don't want to stay in this broken place of the imperial city for even one more day!"

Ye Zibai glanced at him and asked, "You called me over just to tell me this?"

"Of course not just that."

Yun Zheng gently shook his head, "I definitely can't leave the imperial city for the time being. During this period, I need to go to the Divine Martial Army to study battle formations and military tactics. There are many things I can't handle personally, so I can only rely on you to help me with them."

"Speak!"

Ye Zi rubbed her head.

The day of Yun Zheng's wedding is approaching, and she has been quite busy these days.

After this, it seems I will be even busier.

Yun Zheng didn't waste any time and quickly explained what he wanted Ye Zi to do.

Ye Zi temporarily forgot the awkwardness between the two of them and mentally noted down everything Yun Zheng had said.

From the moment she boarded the Yunzheng, there was no turning back for her.

Even if Yun Zheng were to become a devil, she could only follow in the footsteps of the devil, doing her utmost to fulfill the tasks entrusted to her by Yun Zheng.

After finishing the important matters, Yun Zheng asked Ye Zi again, "Do you think I have a chance to take all the people from the Shen family to Shobei?"

"This might be a bit difficult."

Ye Zi frowned and said, "If you want to take Luo Yan away, that's definitely not a problem! But if you want to take the entire Shen family with you, it might raise some suspicions."

"Is that so?"

Yun Zheng pondered for a moment, "Then let's find a way to get them to meet us somewhere! Anyway, no one from the Shen family can stay in the imperial city! Including you and your sister-in-law's family, it's best if they also go to Shuo Bei. At the very least, they can't remain in the imperial city!"

As soon as he goes to the North, he's definitely up to something.

These people staying in the imperial city are likely to be implicated by him.

"It's rare that you still think of me and my sister-in-law's family."

Ye Zi slightly raised her eyes, "I have no family on my mother's side, so you don't need to worry about me!"

"You... you have no family?"

Yun Zheng was taken aback.

He really doesn't know about this!

"I am an orphan." Ye Zi sighed softly, "I was adopted by the Shen family when I was about thirteen..."

Yun Zheng was taken aback and 苦笑道: "So, you and Luoyan's second brother can be considered childhood sweethearts?"

"Almost!"

Ye Zi gently nodded.

Damn!

Yun Zheng suddenly had a headache.

This wall corner seems a bit hard to pry open!
