At that time, Meng Yuan's cold poison was at its worst. Every night, the poison broke out, and the pain was unbearable. However, in the huge Xuanwang Mansion, he didn't even have a relative to rely on. It was under such circumstances that he taught himself how to close the pain, and also close his feelings.

Zhao Ling looked at his cold and thin handsome face, and felt distressed for a while. In the past seven years, he had supported the family business of the Xuanwang Mansion with a sick and weak body.

She held his cold hand and said softly, "A-Yuan, from now on, you will no longer be alone."

"Ling'er." Meng Yuan held her hand back, a warm feeling spread in his heart. Looking at the woman beside him in a daze, he was at a loss for words.

Zhao Ling gave him a gentle smile and said, "If you don't eat it, the food will be cold. These are the dishes you told me you wanted to eat on the boat."

This guy had been pestering her to cook for him the dishes she made for Old Man Duan ever since he knew that she had cooked for Old Man Duan in Hundred Herbs Hall. It was just that the conditions on the ship were limited. Where and how could she do delicious food on the ship? So she took advantage of today's opportunity to cook a few dishes for him to bring to the other courtyard.

"How's it going, how does it taste?" Seeing Meng Yuan grinning and picking up a chopstick to eat, Zhao Ling asked amusingly.

"As long as it's made by Ling'er, it's delicious." Meng Yuan smiled contentedly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that, Meng Yuan, you would actually coax women!" A mocking voice came from outside the pavilion.

Zhao Ling took a look, the white clothes were elegant and handsome, and it turned out to be Yun Yi, the owner of Woyun Villa.

With a wave of his folding fan, Yun Yi stepped into the pavilion in a dashing manner. Seeing a table full of delicious dishes, a table full of color and aroma, he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and said to Zhao Ling, "Ling, let me tell you something you don't know. After this prince got cold poisoned, he lost his sense of taste. So he must be coaxing you when he said it was delicious."

Meng Yuan lost his sense of taste?

Hearing this, Zhao Ling glanced at him in surprise. It seemed that this fellow was good at acting, and he still ate with such relish without a sense of taste.

"Ling'er!" After Meng Yuan was exposed by Yun Yi, his face was a little unnatural for a while. He called her nervously, for fear that she would be mad at him for coaxing her.

Zhao Ling didn't care about Meng Yuan's harmless lies, she just felt more distressed for him. Putting a chopstick of vegetables in his bowl, she said softly, "It doesn't matter, whether you have a sense of taste or not, I will always make delicious food for you."

His Ling'er was so generous and considerate. Meng Yuan felt relieved when he heard those words. He picked up a piece of vegetables and then threw it at Yun Yi, who was laughing at the side with a cunning face. Lest the world would not be in chaos, a cold look in his eyes, and his words also carried a strong threat. "Master Yunzhuang better control his own mouth, be careful this king cuts off his tongue."

Yun Yi was already used to his vicious tongue, and didn't take it seriously, he just said to Zhao Ling softly. "Dear Ling, Meng Yuan, a guy who doesn't appreciate so much food, eats it alone. Would you like us to try it together?"

Zhao Ling naturally had no objection, but Meng Yuan's face was very ugly at this time. He was even more angry when he heard Yun Yi call her "Dear Ling". Dear Ling was only to be called by him. At the moment, he gritted his teeth and voiced. "Yun Yi!"

Yun Yi had been with him for many years, and naturally understood his temper. Seeing him calling him by name and surname, knowing that he was really angry, he didn't dare to joke anymore. So he said with a straight face, "A-Yuan, don't be angry yet, I'm here to tell you some important news."

Seriously, this guy was just not kidding. He just thought it was fun to watch him deflate, so he made fun of it. Was it worth making such a big fire of jokes?

"You'd better have some great news." Meng Yuan was still black-faced.

"The emperor is critically ill, and the fourth prince is being held in the Sky Prison as the culprit. Do you think this is great news?" Yun Yi took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

As soon as Yun Yi's words came out, Meng Yuan and Zhao Ling were both shocked. How could such a big thing happen in the capital in less than three months.

"What's going on with the other princes?" Meng Yuan asked in a deep voice.

Yun Yi touched his chin, "There's no movement for the time being. But the emperor has already issued an edict that he urgently summons you to the capital. I believe there will be someone in the palace to announce the edict in the past few days."

Yun Yi's news was really accurate. 

Three days later, the eunuch who passed the decree from the palace rushed to the other courtyard in Suzhou. After arriving, he could not even take a sip of tea, so he conveyed the imperial order to Meng Yuan. ~Urgently summon Xuan Wang Meng Yuan to Beijing and set off immediately~

The conveyor eunuch was Eunuch Li, the eunuch who accompanied Emperor Ming. After he passed the emperor's decree, he bowed to Meng Yuan and said, "Please, Lord Xuan, set off with our family immediately."

Zhao Ling understood it from the side. This eunuch did not come just to declare the emperor's decree, but to detain people also. It seemed that Emperor Mingde was indeed in critical condition, otherwise he would not have called Meng Yuan into the capital so anxiously.

Just why did Emperor Ming have to call Meng Yuan, a prince who was already a waste in the eyes of the world, into the capital?

Meng Yuan pondered for a while, then instructed Chang Dong, "Pack up your luggage and leave immediately."

After Zhao Ling said goodbye to everyone in the Xie family, she also rushed back to the capital with Meng Yuan.

Ever since she heard from Yun Yi, she had been preparing.
