Ruqing had almost understood the reason behind Prince Yan’s rebellion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was such a proud and outstanding person back then, almost becoming the Crown Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his leg was broken, and he had to live the rest of his life paralyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone would find it hard to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These can’t be blamed on anyone else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who made him harbor malicious intentions, even scheming cruelly against his own brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the former emperor didn’t resist back then, it would have been the former emperor who ended up paralyzed later!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thing would be unbearable for anyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the former Emperor decided to act decisively!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arranged things perfectly for his younger brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While making him swallow his own bitter fruit, the former Emperor seized the Crown Prince’s throne, leaping to become the Crown Prince, taking over the empire of Great Chu Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing couldn’t help but raise her thumb and praise: Well done!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s to be another word of admiration, it would be: Truly ruthless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After recounting these old stories, the two fell silent again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fishing boat drifted aimlessly on the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing felt bored, suddenly stood up and walked toward the bow, standing at the front railing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the vast and endless blue sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she felt inspired, imitating the movie \"Titanic\" where Rose stood at the bow, she opened her arms and closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Embracing the coolest sea breeze, embracing the most beautiful sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her blue gauze dress fully spread in the wind, her dark hair fluttering up and down with the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like seaweed beautifully stretching in the water, fluttering freely, an indescribable beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin, smooth as jade, reflecting in the sunlight, like a peeled egg, radiant and smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her rosy neck, like an elegant swan, slender and fair, graceful and long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her arms, her forearms, her fingertips, every inch of her body was beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked like a fairy descending to the mortal world, about to ascend to immortality, beautifully ethereal, beautifully graceful, beautifully taking one’s breath away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao involuntarily walked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walked to her from behind and embraced her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing felt sweetness in her heart, just leaned into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t move, let me lean for a while, this pose is classic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao: \"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t understand, he still tightened his arms, holding her in his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small fishing boat drifted on the sea for over half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two played at the bow for half a day, sat by the side for a while, ate some snacks at the stern, chatted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the sun set and it was about to get dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other side showed no sign of movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both felt puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be, coming to raid at night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the courtyard so heavily guarded, can they even get here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly are they up to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking through this, Xia Ruqing couldn’t help but sulkily ask Zhao Junyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, how come you can’t even find a person?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao’s mosaic-colored eyes darkened suddenly, speaking coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finding him is no big problem, but figuring out how many people he has under his command is not easy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they’ve been operating in their old base in Guangnan for so long, hidden so deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we really want to investigate, it would take a major operation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to make known those matters of the past!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want such a scandal of fratricidal royal family to become widely known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing nodded thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Emperor is indeed considerate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A complex look flashed in Zhao Junyao’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s there to consider? It’s just wanting to solve this trouble quietly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing said nothing further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night fell, and the group, still waiting for something, finally returned to the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing bathed and changed into fresh clothes, comfortably lying on the bed, sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been outside all day, my face is all dried up from the sun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zi Su quickly apply some lamb fat cream for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su responded, bringing over a jar of lamb fat cream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately I thought it might be needed beforehand, otherwise where would we get it now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sea breeze blows, makes my face so dry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su laughed as she carefully applied the cream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, the Empress is thoughtful. I didn’t even think of it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing smiled with eyes closed, enjoying the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t come often, of course, you wouldn’t think of it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I’ve also asked Imperial Doctor Zhang for some aloe powder from the Imperial Medical Bureau, later you can make it into a paste and apply it more!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su responded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the mistress and servant chatted idly, suddenly a commotion started outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the chickens in the backyard began squawking wildly, followed by some screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then someone yelled outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good! The other side brought people here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect the Emperor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect the Empress!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell, someone rushed in to take Xia Ruqing and her companions away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening? Who even dares to intrude here? Are they tired of living?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Empress, the Emperor ordered us to escort you away; it’s dangerous here, please follow us quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing found the voice of the Little Eunuch in front somewhat unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to take a closer look at his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the Little Eunuch suddenly screamed, spitting a mouthful of blood, then collapsed before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingqing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao strode in with a bow and arrow, pulling her along to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing was scared into weak knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, what’s going on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao reassured her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine, they didn’t come during the day, so they came at night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be afraid, I will stay by your side, listen to me, close your eyes, don’t look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he picked her up and walked out quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing obediently curled up in his arms, closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After roughly the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Zhao Junyao brought her to a cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingqing, wait here, I’ll go out and check!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the pitch-black surroundings, Xia Ruqing clung to his arm, frightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m scared!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just me and Zi Su here, what if someone comes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay, I’ll be right outside the cave door!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took a letter from his robe and stuffed it into her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t read it tonight, open it tomorrow morning, listen to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing didn’t care about the letter in her hand, just grabbed his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure you’ll be nearby?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve already prepared everything thoroughly. No matter how many people come, they’re walking into a trap, rest assured!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing finally felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come back soon, I’ll wait here for you, won’t go anywhere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao smiled, pushed her hand away, and left in quick strides!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cave is the safe place he found earlier, with a concealed path leading straight out of the mountain, so Qingqing will be safe here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hillside is also entirely surrounded by his forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junqi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, it’s either you or me, there’s bound to be an end!\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-05-30T07:41:36.139Z","2026-06-01T04:30:40.316Z",1,"novelbin.me","f69d0d141910fee60bae53ad47dac2fabcc17e6e354efcd7275ac618bb26c2c2","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1200","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1198",1204,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-cover.jpg"]
