Chen Palace.

Zong Zhengchen came back very late today. Qin Ye tidied up his clothes, changed him out of his court clothes, took out his casual clothes that he wore at home, and put them on him.

"Out?" he asked.

Qin Ye lowered his head to fasten his belt, "Well, Princess Ding came to play with me."

She is pregnant now and can't do anything. Every day, she only eats, drinks, sleeps and plays.

She doesn't have to worry about the clinic or the home, so it's very worry-free.

"Why are you back so late today?"

Logically speaking, King Li had already left the court, and since he was strolling on the street with Qin Jiaojiao, he should have left the court long ago.

Speaking of this, Zong Zhengchen felt a little depressed:

"The emperor kept him."

"What does the emperor want you to do?"

Keep him...

Thinking back to the chatter in the imperial study that sounded like chanting for the salvation of souls, he felt a headache.

Let’s not talk about this!

He held his brows and changed the subject, "You don't have anything to tell me?"

"Hmm?" Qin Ye looked up in confusion. His question made her feel a little strange.

say what?

"Think about it carefully, is it really not true?" He looked at her and asked again.

Several black question marks appeared above Qin Ye's head. "What did you say? You said I missed you?"

“…”

Zong Zhengchen pinched the ticklish spot on her waist as punishment and said viciously, "You were almost hit by a horse on the street today. You don't plan to tell me about such a big thing?"

If he hadn't met Princess Ding on the way back and she hadn't told him what happened on the street, he would have been completely unaware of it.

Qin Ye rolled his eyes at him:

"What's the big deal? I wasn't hit, was I?"

Isn’t this a big deal?

Does it count as an accident only if someone gets hit and gets injured?

"Oh," he responded with an unclear tone, and after glancing at her, he spoke in an unclear tone, "I heard that Prince Li pushed down Princess Li in order to save you?"

Qin Ye paused slightly.

This matter...

If it is said that Prince Li has a good relationship with her, it is understandable that he saved her.

But Princess Li was also present, and Prince Li saved her and even pushed Princess Li away. This seemed to be a problematic matter.

She lowered her eyes and nodded slightly, not wanting to continue this topic.

She sensed something was wrong and would refuse to speak to King Li.

Zong Zhengchen continued, "It was also him who saved you when the pillar of the house collapsed last time."

Qin Ye lowered his eyes, walked to the table, and poured a glass of water, "Yeah."

"Last year, when Yun Ying was captured and taken to the Crown Prince's residence and was severely injured, it was Prince Li who intervened."

Qin Ye paused slightly when drinking water.

Zong Zhengchen seemed unwilling to let go of the topic she didn't want to continue; Zong Zhengchen seemed to want to delve deeper into the person she didn't want to mention.

She pursed her lips, threw the cup back on the table, and looked up at the man:

"What do you want to say?"

She asked directly.

Zong Zhengchen sensed the impetus in her words and frowned slightly.

He was just asking, why was she still unhappy?

What he meant was that Prince Li had done a great favor to Prince Chen's Mansion, and now that Princess Li was pregnant again, she could choose some time to visit Prince Li's Mansion and thank him at the same time.

But Qin Ye's reaction made Zong Zhengchen have other thoughts.

"You're unhappy," he looked into her eyes, "Why?"

Why would he be unhappy when King Li was mentioned?

Qin Ye frowned.

Is he questioning her?

I wanted to end the topic, but when the words came to my lips, I felt a slight prick in my brain, and the words I opened suddenly became sharp:

"I'm happy? What should I be happy about? Since I married you, I haven't had a peaceful day. Should I happily thank you for making me unable to sleep peacefully?"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room became dead silent and eerie.
