C29 Making use of the situation!

"By the way, why did you come here today? Is there something you need?"

The two of them chatted for a while before Zhao Mohan suddenly asked Sun Yingyi. Although he had given the waist tag to Sun Yingyi, Zhao Mohan did not expect her to come here so quickly.

Sun Yingyi was not as polite as him. She picked up a pot and poured herself a cup of tea.

She took a leisurely sip of the tea and then said slowly, "There is no class today, so I asked for leave from the principal and came here to see if something happened to you. I was afraid that you would not come out of the palace."

Zhao Mohan sneered and said, "What can happen to me? It's fine. I just can't come out of the palace. Don't worry."

"Last time, you said that it would be difficult for you to come out in the future, so I guessed that something had happened. But if that wasn't the case, why did you stay here all day?"

Sun Yingyi was still very curious about this. She guessed that Zhao Mohan had the ability to predict the future.

"What are you thinking about? You don't want people to be good to you." Zhao Mohan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this. "You don't know the rules of the palace, and you have never been curious about why there are very few princes in the capital."

Sun Yingyi shook her head and thought about it carefully. It seemed to be as Zhao Mohan said. However, she had never cared about this matter. After all, it had nothing to do with her.

"The prince is not allowed to leave the palace before he is crowned. Unless he is approved by the emperor, he will be punished." Zhao Mohan explained patiently to her, "This is also to prevent the prince from interacting with too many people outside. Since the founding of the country, this rule has been in effect."

"This time, I have completed my mission outside, so I can only stay in the palace."

Only then did Sun Yingyi understand. She nodded in understanding. At the same time, she also understood why Zhao Mohan liked to climb over the wall and enter the palace. However, there were too many things that one could not control in the world. Therefore, she did not expose this matter, and it was also considered to save face for Zhao Mohan.

"Since that's the case, I will come to visit you often when I'm free. After all, you like people who go out of the palace every two or three days. How could you be willing to stay in the palace? When the time comes, I will also tell you what I saw and heard outside."

Knowing that she was kind, Zhao Mohan could not help but tease her, "What? Aren't you afraid that someone in the palace will recognize you?"

Sun Yingyi rolled her eyes at him, feeling that her good intentions were wasted. Her good intentions were good, but in the end, she was still laughed at by him.

However, she did not bother to argue with him. Sun Yingyi turned around and asked, "Oh right, I wonder if she has been released from her confinement?"

"Not yet. She did not do anything as simple as shattering a bottle. After all, it involves the crime of sending away the criminal of the imperial court. Whether it is to show it to outsiders or to release the anger in my heart, the time limit is not short."

Hearing that, Zhao Mohan said.

Hearing that, Sun Yingyi felt even more guilty towards Qiao Yu. She felt that even if she had to pay with her life, she still felt that such a sacrifice was a bit too heavy.

Seeing Sun Yingyi's self-blame, Zhao Mohan comforted her, "It's just being confined. It is nothing to Imperial Consort Yan. I think that in a few days, her confinement will be lifted. At that time, you can go and see her. As for Royal Father, he will still love her as much as before. She won't suffer any loss."

Hearing Zhao Mohan's words, she felt a bit more comfortable in her heart.

"Then I have something to ask Third Prince for help. After all, Third Prince is in the palace, so it will be more convenient for him to do things." Sun Yingyi said solemnly.

She rarely called Zhao Mohan Third Prince, so Zhao Mohan thought that it was probably something important.

"Just say it." When Zhao Mohan agreed to Sun Yingyi's request, he seemed to be exceptionally straightforward.

This often made Sun Yingyi suspect who the two of them had grabbed onto and who they were working for.

"Last time, we didn't get along well. I want Third Prince to help me tell her my current situation so that she won't worry about me." Sun Yingyi was worried that he was unwilling, so she added, "In the future, no matter what Third Prince wants me to do, I will do my best. I only ask Third Prince to help me this time."

Seeing her fearful appearance, Zhao Mohan was a little puzzled.

First, he did not expect her to still remember such a small matter. Second, he was surprised that she could actually make such a guarantee for the Imperial Consort Yan.

After all, Imperial Consort Yan was just an outsider, and her brother was even suspected of framing Sun Xiangzhong.

"You always think for others, but have you ever thought about yourself?" Although he knew that he was being nosy, Zhao Mohan still asked, "Selling your own energy to me for her is worth it?"

However, Sun Yingyi felt that this was only natural.

"From the time I ate the Contracted Pill, I have been the Third Prince's servant. This promise is only a guarantee, and it is not a big deal. Besides, she saved my life once, so I should remember it in my heart. If I want her to worry about me again, I'm afraid that I will be ashamed of her even until death."

Although Zhao Mohan did not understand her loyalty, he still agreed to her request.

"Alright. I will take a trip for you. But then again, I still want to remind you that you must be careful of the benevolence. She is not a simple person. Otherwise, why would she help you time and time again?"

"Maybe it's just for the sake of friendship."

Zhao Mohan had always scoffed at Sun Yingyi's innocence. A young lady in the deep house naturally did not understand the human heart. She even thought that everyone in the world was a kindhearted Bodhisattva, but that was not good.

The person that he, Zhao Mohan, was using had to be a bit more hard-hearted.

"You can think of it that way, but you can't be too careful. It's better to be careful. There are very few true feelings in the palace."

Zhao Mohan said this. If someone was sincere, they would remember it. If they were not, it would be useless even if he gritted his teeth.

"Thank you for your teachings, Third Prince. However, I still have to trouble you with this matter."

As the two of them spoke, the sky had gradually darkened. It was not until the palace servants came to deliver the food that Sun Yingyi realized that it was already late.

She slapped her thigh and said emotionally, "Not good. I only took half a day off today. If I don't go back now, I'm afraid someone in the courtyard will be suspicious. I have disturbed you today, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, before Zhao Mohan could reply, Sun Yingyi ran out in a hurry.

Looking at her leaving figure, Zhao Mohan was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry at Sun Yingyi's reckless personality. He shook his head and told the palace servants, "Go to the Imperial Consort Yan's palace and send away the guards outside. I have something to talk to her about."

After returning to the Imperial Hospital, Sun Yingyi carefully thought back to what Zhao Mohan had said.

However, she was still unwilling to believe that Qiao Yu, who had helped her, had ulterior motives. Besides, she was just a daughter of a sinner. Even if she helped her, there would be no benefits.

Sun Yingyi thought that it was probably because Zhao Mohan was too careless that he said such words. However, it was no wonder. It was normal for people who grew up in the palace to have more thoughts. If they were heartless, they probably wouldn't have lived to this age.

From then on, Sun Yingyi did as she promised. In a few days, she would come to the palace to visit Zhao Mohan. At first, Zhao Mohan even helped her to send a message to Qiao Yu. Later on, perhaps because he was annoyed, Sun Yingyi was able to frequently visit Qiao Yu, who had been imprisoned.
