Chapter 187 Dowry
"You haven't eaten yet." Zhao Changyu's slightly childish voice came from beside her.
She looked up and saw Zhao Changyu pushing the bowl and chopsticks towards her.
"I'm not hungry yet." Jiang Yunxi replied with a smile.
Zhao Changyu imitated Jiang Yunxi, scooped up a mouthful of porridge, blew it to his lips, and then handed it to Jiang Yunxi's mouth.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him, his eyes fell on the spoon in front of him, and he took a bite.
Zhao Changyu looked at her lips and his face turned red, as if he was shy.
"I can't eat anymore." Jiang Yunxi took the bowl and put it aside.
Zhao Changyu suddenly got off the bed barefoot, stepped on the ground, and pulled Jiang Yunxi behind the couch.
"You haven't put on your shoes yet." Jiang Yunxi reminded.
Zhao Changyu touched somewhere on the wall, and the wall suddenly opened, revealing a secret passage inside.
Jiang Yunxi was very surprised. She didn't expect that there was such a place in the palace.
What she didn't expect was that Zhao Changyu would bring her to see it.
She picked up the candlestick on the table and followed Zhao Changyu in.
There is a house at the end of the secret passage, and there are many boxes piled in the house.
Zhao Changyu opened several of them, and found that they were filled with a wide variety of gold and jewels.
Jiang Yunxi saw a letter in it and opened it.
She folded it up and looked at Zhao Changyu with a serious expression, "Are you and Jiang Changbai doing business together?"
"This is a dowry." Zhao Changyu did not respond to her.
Jiang Yunxi had no choice but to follow his lead and asked, "Whose dowry is this?"
"Mine." Zhao Changyu patted his chest, "Marry me, okay?"
Jiang Yunxi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that he took her around in circles for so long just to say this to her.
"Let's go out." Jiang Yunxi turned and was about to leave.
Zhao Changyu held her back and wouldn't let her leave. "You haven't promised me yet!"
"Why are you afraid of anyone except me?" Jiang Yunxi turned around, looked into his eyes and asked him.
"They want to kill me." There was cautious fear in Zhao Changyu's eyes.
Jiang Yunxi took two steps towards him, "What if I tell you that I'm here to kill you, too? What will you do?"
"No, you won't." Zhao Changyu's eyes were full of clarity and trust. He took two steps towards her and hugged her tightly. "It would be great if I could die in your hands. At least you won't forget me. Can you promise me that you will be with me in the next life?"
He asked the last sentence carefully.
Jiang Yunxi suddenly remembered the words she made up in her dream to deceive Zhao Changyu.
She looked him in the eyes and asked him very seriously, "Your Majesty, Uncle Emperor, Zhao Changyu, are you well now?"
Zhao Changyu blinked his innocent eyes, without a trace of hesitation on his face, and said nothing.
"Let's go." Jiang Yunxi pulled him out the door.

Zhen Zhen carefully put away the message sent by Nan Nan. She looked at Jiang Yunxi's uncertain expression and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, isn't it a good thing that you have found the formula for the antidote? Why are you still frowning? Don't you want to save His Majesty?"
"Although I have sealed the news of Princess Nanli's imprisonment, there is no guarantee that she will not collude with the Nanli royal family in advance. Even if Nannan found out the news herself, there is no guarantee that she will not be used by others." Jiang Yunxi expressed his concerns, "Forget it, this prescription seems to be fine, just boil the medicine according to the prescription. I will bear all the consequences."
