We are a couple, sleeping in separate rooms might not be appropriate.
Fu Xuechen came over to greet Su Qingli. Another long three days passed, and he seemed to be counting every minute and every second.
Although the dispute in the court became increasingly tense, he never stopped thinking about Su Qingli, who was in danger without knowing it.
Su Qingli recovered from her shock and said, "I encountered an assassin on the road. Fortunately, your driver helped me and I was spared."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuechen already had a suspicion in his mind. The image of Qi Jinqian appeared in his mind. Could it be that the assassin was sent by Qi Jinqian to test his coachman's martial arts skills?
"I will definitely not let Miss Su get into trouble because of me. I've already had this guqin repaired. Please take a seat and give it a try."
Fu Xuechen suppressed his fickle emotions of urgency and worry. He was forcing Qi Jinqian to reveal himself. Qi Jinqian could pretend for a while, but not forever!
Su Qingli's piano music that soothed her heartache came to an end after two hours, and Fu Xuechen asked someone to send her back to the Qi Mansion.
The driver reported the assassination attempt to Qian Jue in advance, "Master Prime Minister, Ajun said that Miss Su was followed on her way here. He managed to shake that person off, so the person couldn't follow. From now on, your meetings with Miss Su will only become more dangerous."
Ajun is the nickname of the coachman, and he is also the person carefully selected by Fu Xuechen. On the surface, he is a coachman, but in fact, his martial arts skills are not inferior to Qian Jue, and he manages an intelligence network.
Because he was smart, sensible and able to seize opportunities, Fu Xuechen felt at ease to let him contact Su Qingli and escort her along the way.
"Next time, let's ask Miss Su to meet somewhere else. It wouldn't hurt to let this stalker see us. He's covering his face, and so are we. I know who he is, but he probably doesn't know who we are."
Fu Xuechen was holding back on a lot of bad intentions but hadn't yet directed them at Qi Jinqian. If he didn't do it now, when would he?
Qian Jue was like a monk at a loss, scratching his head, "What does the Prime Minister mean by this?"
"I just wanted to test how tolerant the Sixth Young Master Qi is. His wife went to see another man without his knowledge. Do you think he would regard it as a great humiliation and become furious?"
Fu Xuechen saw through Qi Jinqian's character. He had tricked Su Qingli into his heart, and he might not tolerate Su Qingli, who was no longer the daughter of a marquis, betraying him.
Qian Jue seemed to understand but not quite. Qi Jinqian was good at endurance and was a smiling tiger. Everyone thought he was humble, polite and approachable.
The next three-day deadline has arrived. Yinhan failed last time. If he doesn’t find some useful clues this time, Qi Jinqian will not let him off easily.
This time, the driver did not remind Su Qingli that someone was following them, but instead went to catch Yinhan who had been following them all the way. Instead, he acted according to Fu Xuechen's plan and let Yinhan follow.
Yinhan didn't dare to act rashly. He couldn't even beat a coachman, and there was a servant wearing a veil next to him. He was afraid that he would be captured by the other party.
"Sixth Master, it seems they are two men, a master and a servant. They are acting mysteriously, wearing veils on their heads, and their accents are very strange."
It was not until Su Qingli was safely sent back to the Qi Mansion that Yin Han went to report to Qi Jinqian about the general situation of the people he had met.
"It's actually a man?" Qi Jinqian's eyes flashed with a sharp knife light, frowned and snorted coldly, "She must look down on me because I'm disabled. I can coax her into marrying into the Qi Mansion, but other men can also coax her into falling in love with other men and disregard the reputation of our Qi Mansion."
Yin Han stole a glance at Qi Jinqian, and his voice became unusually weak. "Sixth Master, Sixth Madam isn't infatuated with someone else, is she? You clearly told her it was just a deal, and you never revealed your feelings to her."
"Even if I confessed to her, do you think she would like me?"
Qi Jinqian was a little excited. If he could win Su Qingli's heart, why would he have to rely on deception? He tried to get close to Su Qingli, but Su Qingli did not have the slightest affection for him.
"Sixth Master, few women in this world can decide their own marriages. Look at the Empress. She and His Majesty had no feelings for each other before they married. Their love was cultivated after they got married."
Yinhan persuaded them with emotion and reason, using Queen Qi as an example.
"A-Li and I have been married for a month or two, but instead of developing any feelings for each other, she even ran off with another man."
Qi Jinqian took a sip of wine in frustration, feeling bad.
"Sixth Master, don't worry. I have a method that works every time. If you and Madam Six have a child, she might just be determined to be you, and she won't be able to escape your clutches anymore."
Yin Han smiled sinisterly and said, "That's a bad idea."
Qi Jinqian thought of Concubine Xie. With Qi Yueqiao as his weak point, Concubine Xie would have no choice but to obey him. Su Qingli would be no exception. "I have the same idea. If I want to keep her by my side, the only way is to let her give birth to our child."
That night, Qi Jinqian entered Su Qingli's room openly. He never stayed overnight in the bridal chamber before.
"Jinqian, why are you here?"
Su Qingli was so frightened that she sat up from the couch, staring at Qi Jinqian in surprise and asked.
Qi Jinqian gave his reason, "We are husband and wife, and it's probably not appropriate for us to sleep in separate rooms. Father and the Queen have been urging us to have a baby soon these past few days. To be on the safe side, I'd better come and accompany you."
"Jinqian, I'm sorry for that."
When Su Qingli thought of the story of Qi Jinqian and Concubine Xie, she felt a surge of sympathy in her heart. The lovers could not finally get married and were forced to marry someone they did not love.
"Ari, I'm fine. I'm sorry I've wronged you. I think we can live happily together."
Qi Jinqian sat on the edge of the bed and said tentatively.
Su Qingli didn't care about his words. She was thinking about his past with Concubine Xie. "Jinqian, have you ever had a favorite woman in the past?"
"There was one. She used to be so high up in the sky, like the brightest star in the sky that I could never pluck from my hands."
Qi Jinqian recalled the stunning glimpse he had a few years ago. He was still studying hard when he saw Su Qingli's gorgeous face from afar in a gorgeous sedan chair on the ten-mile-long street. The curtains were blown up by the strong wind.
He would never forget that scene, and he never expected that Su Qingli would become connected with him after so many twists and turns.
Su Qingli thought that the person in Qi Jinqian's heart must be Concubine Xie in the palace. Concubine Xie was infatuated with Qi Jinqian, so her relationship with the emperor was cold. "So, do you still have feelings for her now?"
Qi Jinqian nodded affirmatively, gazing into Su Qingli's sparkling eyes with burning eyes, "Of course I do. She is the only one in my heart. There is no way I can let go of another woman."
After hearing this, Su Qingli didn't know how to persuade Qi Jinqian.
The Imperial Concubine Xie in the palace is your Majesty's concubine. What else can you do if you can't let her go, unless you fight for the throne.
