Chapter 242 A Change of Taste

At this moment, Queen Qin's usually cold face showed a little bit of emotion.

But she quickly regained her composure.

She carefully looked at the prince in front of her, but could not see any clues on his face.

Was he just disguising himself too well? Or did she really wrong him?

Queen Qin has lived in the harem for too long, and countless lessons have completely wiped out her innocence. Now she has become accustomed to thinking the worst of everyone.

She thought the prince was pretending.

But she had no evidence.

The most important thing is that she cannot break up with the prince for the time being.

Ever since the prince went south to pray for rain and succeeded, his popularity among the people has skyrocketed, and the people have already determined that he will be the next emperor.

In addition, when he served in the court, he demonstrated his talents and won the admiration of some officials.

The current Luo Qinghan is no longer the little prince who relied entirely on the Qin family to gain a foothold.

If Queen Qin broke off relations with him at this time, it would be tantamount to pushing him to the emperor's camp, and all her hard work and planning over the years would be in vain.

She was silent for a long time before she spoke slowly.

"I trust you, so please get up."

"Thank you, mother." Luo Qinghan stood up obediently.

Queen Qin stared at him and said, "Although you are not my biological child, I raised you by myself. I hope you can figure out your position and not do anything irreversible because of a momentary impulse."

Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes and replied, "Your son will follow your mother's instructions."

"I originally planned to have you marry the Crown Princess and give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible, so as to stop the criticism from those outside. Now that this has happened, the plan to select a Crown Princess can only be postponed, but offspring is still the top priority, you must pay attention to it. Later, I will help you and select a few new people to send to the East Palace to help you have children and expand your family."

Luo Qinghan suppressed his disgust and said respectfully, "Thank you, mother, for worrying about me."

Queen Qin left.

Soon Dong Mingchun came in again, and with him came Nie Changping.

They both bowed to the prince.

Luo Qinghan's expression remained indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He said to Dong Mingchun.

"Take these files back. I have already written my comments on them. You and your men should consider them."

"Yes."

Dong Mingchun picked up the wooden box containing the files and retreated respectfully.

Luo Qinghan asked someone to bring a chessboard and placed it between him and Nie Changping.

Nie Changping got a headache whenever he saw the chessboard.

"Your Highness, I don't want to play chess!"

Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I don't even think your chess skills are too bad, what else do you have to complain about?"

Nie Changping muttered quietly: "I actually hope you can complain, so that I don't have to play chess with you."

"What did you say?"

“No, nothing.”

Nie Changping looked at the chessboard in front of him, a little surprised: "Why is it chess? Didn't Your Highness play Go before?"

"I'm tired of playing Go. I want to change the taste."

Nie Changping sighed, resigned himself to his fate, picked up the pawn and took a step forward. He said, "I have completed what you asked me to do."

Luo Qinghan made a move and said calmly, "I know."

Seeing that he looked calm and composed, Nie Changping couldn't help but ask.

"What we do is not foolproof. If the emperor is determined to investigate thoroughly, he will still be able to find some clues. Aren't you worried at all?"
