In fact, Song Chiyou was not angry that Xu Qiudong had beaten Song Lanyu without permission, but that she had done it without telling him about such a big thing.

What if she gets discovered and can’t fight back?

Song Chiyou was worried about Xu Qiudong.

If something happens to Xu Qiudong, how will he survive if he is the only one left?

Song Chiyou was confused by his concern, but he forced himself to calm down and said, "Yan Xinxuan said today that he would thoroughly investigate the palace and find the murderer."

"Think carefully, does anyone else know about this?"

Song Chiyou was so angry that he couldn't stand, but Xu Qiudong was still eating slowly.

"I told you, I didn't do it."

This matter was originally done by Xu Qiudong in an dishonest way. She didn't want Song Chiyou to know that it was her who did it, for fear that it would affect her image in his mind.

Song Chiyou's emotions, which had just calmed down, were stirred again: "It's already this time, are you still going to hide it from me?"

Xu Qiudong slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand and wiped his lips gracefully.

Looking directly at Song Chiyou with clear eyes, he spoke seriously, "I didn't hide it from you. It really wasn't me who did it?"

Now it was Song Chiyou's turn to be confused.

She is so determined, could it really not be her?

Song Chiyou relaxed and sat on the stool in front of Xu Qiudong. He said jokingly, "This guy really did a good thing. Song Lanyu has been too arrogant recently. It would be a good idea to suppress her arrogance."

As he spoke, Song Chiyou glanced sideways at the expression on Xu Qiudong's face.

However, Xu Qiudong has always been calm, and Song Chiyou didn't notice anything unusual, so he could only give up.

"I sent someone to deliver a letter to Min Xueming."

When Song Chiyou heard the name, his eyelids twitched and he asked, "Why are you sending him a letter?"

Min Xueming is a king of a different surname and has no blood relationship with the royal family. He is the adopted son of the previous emperor. He holds a large army and is greedy. Once a person has power, he will want more.

At that time, the late emperor was seriously ill and bedridden. In order to allow Song Chiyou to ascend the throne smoothly, the late emperor took great pains to drive Min Xueming to the border, and sent the Yan family, who also had a large number of troops, to check and balance him.

This ensured the stability of the capital.

Xu Qiudong said, "Of course, I'll tell him about what Yan Xinxuan did in the capital. They've been sworn enemies for many years, and Min Xueming will never let Yan Xinxuan act so arrogantly in the capital."

Because once Yan Xinxuan gains a foothold in the capital, he will be at a disadvantage.

How could Min Xueming be willing?

Song Chiyou was still a little worried: "Will it lead to a wolf entering the house?"

Song Chiyou quietly disrupted the original deployment, began to reshuffle the forces in the capital, and arranged the deployment plan again.

Xu Qiudong remained calm and confident as he said, "No, believe me, I said I would make the decision for you."

Song Chiyou recalled the scene in the restaurant that day. She had said the same words, and then Yan Xinxuan fell flat on his face.

Song Chiyou laughed when he thought of this.

Then, she spoke softly to Xu Qiudong, "They all bullied me. My beloved, remember to always protect me and make decisions for me."

"Yeah." Xu Qiudong seemed to enjoy it and gently stroked Song Chiyou's handsome face.

Song Chiyou rubbed her hand cooperatively and asked casually, "Will you like me?"

Xu Qiudong said without hesitation, "I like it."

It is obvious that the liking that Xu Qiudong talked about is not the same as the liking that Song Chiyou mentioned.
