"When I was away, did you eat well? Did you exercise well? Did you cry because you missed me? Hmm?"

The man asked with a hoarse smile.

The slightly teasing tone made Qin Ye blush immediately.

My thoughts were pierced directly...

Never admit it!

"You're so narcissistic." She pushed open the man's chest and moved into the bed with a look of disgust. "I wish you would leave quickly. You don't know how comfortable it is for me to sleep alone in such a big bed and roll around."

Zong Zhengchen looked at her: "You say one thing and mean another."

"No."

"What you say is what you mean."

“…”

"Since you don't want me, I'm leaving."

“…”

Knowing that he was there, Qin Ye felt at ease, "Then go, I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, she lay down, covered herself with the quilt, and looked at him leisurely with her bright big eyes.

He was waiting for her to stay, hoping to hear some pleasant words from her.

But her eyes seemed to say:

Go ahead, go ahead. Why are you still standing there? Are you reluctant to leave? Go ahead.

Stood for a moment.

Zong Zhengchen finally gave in, gritted his teeth, and went to bed.

"You know I won't leave, you did this on purpose!"

Qin Ye blinked, looking innocent: "How could that be?"

"Little scoundrel!"

How could he not know about the tricks in her mind?

He hooked his long arms around her plump waist, bit her nose as punishment, and said:

"You haven't fallen asleep yet so late, and you still say you're not thinking about me?"

"It's almost time to go to bed. I have to leave before dawn. I can't be discovered by others, especially Zong Zhengli's people."

Qin Ye's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked:

"What did you find out?"

"Yes." He said, "I have been investigating all day today. It turns out that the person who swapped the secret letter from King Feng was Zong Zhengli."

It was Prince Li who planned to send Zong Zhengchen to the northern border.

"He transferred you to such a far place, is there any conspiracy?" Qin Ye guessed.

Today, as soon as he left, Li Wang approached her, obviously with a purpose.

What is his purpose?

"He hates me," Zong Zhengchen said, "He always believed that I was the one who killed Madam Wei. Everything he did was probably to avenge Madam Wei."

It is no exaggeration to say that Zong Zhengli definitely wants to kill him.

"During the past few months when Prince Jue was away on a campaign, I could use his identity, hide in the dark, and investigate Prince Li. As long as I can find evidence against him, I can capture him and eliminate the trouble forever!"

Qin Ye pondered for a moment:

"He approached me deliberately, probably because he wanted to use me and get something."

"Yer might as well pretend to be friendly with him to let his guard down. I will always be hiding in the dark and keeping a close eye on him."

"good!"

The two of them talked in low voices.

At this moment, Zong Zhengli didn't know that Prince Chen, who was supposed to be fighting in the northern border, had actually been hiding in the imperial capital and had not left even a step.

I had a very good sleep that night.

When it was almost dawn, Zong Zhengchen left quietly without attracting anyone's attention.

Daybreak.

Qin Ye got up.

Concubine Tong was the first to come over. She was worried that Qin Ye would not be used to it on the first day since Prince Chen was gone, and that she would not be able to sleep well. But when she came over to take a look, she found that Qin Ye was not only sleeping soundly, but also very energetic.

"Huh?"

She was a little suspicious.

How come Qin Ye didn’t seem to miss Prince Chen at all after he left?

Could it be that...

Thinking back to yesterday, when Prince Li sent Qin Ye back home and they were chatting and laughing, a terrible idea suddenly popped up in his mind:

"Xiao Ye, you are not in love with someone else, are you?"

"???"
