However, the secret guard was reluctant to draw his sword, and Song Qingxue couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in her heart.

It seemed that she had to keep her life and wait for her master to come and make the decision, but if nothing unexpected happened, she would probably only live a little longer.

Just as she thought of this, Zhao Wanqiu turned around the corner.

Song Qingxue was lying on the ground and watching from afar. At this moment, Zhao Wanqiu was just as described in the book, with a graceful figure in white and a unique smile. She looked like a fairy from the heavens who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world.

Song Qingxue looked at her steadily, and suddenly a sentence popped up in her mind.

——Her face is like Guanyin, but her heart is like a snake.

She felt that this sentence was very suitable for the woman Zhao Wanqiu.

"Isn't this the Regent Princess?" Zhao Wanqiu walked over slowly, looking at her as if she were a dead person. "Your Highness, why don't you stay at home and eavesdrop on people's conversations?"

Song Qingxue wanted to move, but the sword across her neck prevented her from moving. She could only look at Zhao Wanqiu with an angry look on her face.

"Zhao Wanqiu, do you really think you can get away with it? If you do too many bad things, you will be punished!"

"Indeed, so, you see, your retribution has come." Zhao Wanqiu stood in front of her, then squatted down.

When their eyes met, Zhao Wanqiu suddenly pinched her chin and forced her face away.

"Song Qingxue, I feel sick just by looking at you!"

Song Qingxue didn't care whether she looked at her disgustingly or not, she just felt her chin hurt.

I didn't expect that Zhao Wanqiu, who looked so weak, had such strong hands!

She felt like her jaw was about to be dislocated by this woman.

"Oh! Bitch! Didn't you say that I can only be stepped on by you? Why aren't you so proud now?"

After Zhao Wanqiu said this, she slapped her in the face.

With a "pop" sound, she suddenly felt a buzzing in her ears.

I really underestimated her strength!

Song Qingxue took a break, then raised her sleeve to wipe the place where she had hit her, and said in a cold voice: "Idiot! If you can't kill me today, I will trample you into the mud in the future, and you will never be able to turn over in this life, the next life, or the rest of your life!"

"Originally, I didn't want you to die so easily, but since you want to die so much, then this princess will grant your wish." Zhao Wanqiu said as she pulled out the sword from the secret guard's hand and stabbed it towards her heart.

Song Qingxue closed her eyes and waited for death to come, but the expected sword did not fall on her.

She only heard a "clang" sound, and then the sword fell to the ground.

Song Qingxue opened her eyes, but only saw Zhao Wanqiu leaning against the wall with her right arm covered, while Zhao Wanqiu's secret guard was actually fighting with a handsome young man.

Song Qingxue recognized one of them. Although she had never seen that person's face before, she could recognize him at a glance from his skills and figure.

That was Xiahou Chongyuan’s secret guard leader, named... Lin Shu!

Before Song Qingxue could say anything, Lin Shu suddenly made a fake move to trick the secret guard over, then grabbed her and ran away without any desire to fight.

No need to die.

When Song Qingxue came to this realization, she fainted immediately.

Seeing that man disappear with Song Qingxue in a flash, Zhao Wanqiu was almost mad with rage!

"Waste!" She cursed with gritted teeth, and said, "She even got away with this! Go back and accept your punishment!"

After she drove away the secret guards, Mo Weixin, who had been hiding behind the wall, walked quickly towards her.

"That bitch must have heard us talking. What should we do?"

Mo Weixin twisted the handkerchief tightly in her hands, her expression no longer able to remain calm.

Song Qingxue heard the conversation between her and Zhao Wanqiu with her own ears. If she told Chongyuan when she returned...

She didn't even dare to think about the consequences of this.

"What should we do?" Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Mo Weixin could no longer hold his temper, so he grabbed her with both hands and shook her vigorously.

"Zhao Wanqiu! Tell me what to do!"

"Say something!"

Zhao Wanqiu was already in a very bad mood, and now she was annoyed by her like this, so she glared at her and shouted, "Shut up!"

"You!" Mo Weixin had been pampered since she was a child, and no one had ever dared to disobey her. Now, when she heard Zhao Wanqiu yelling at her like this, she naturally felt dissatisfied and her temper exploded.

"Zhao Wanqiu! Do you really think that by marrying Prince Heqin you will be able to rise to the top and become a phoenix? Let me tell you! If you don't find a way to solve this problem, you'll die!"

Song Qingxue was beaten by her people. If Xiahou Chongyuan wanted to avenge that woman, the first person he would look for would be Zhao Wanqiu!

Zhao Wanqiu naturally understood this truth, and Mo Weixin was still useful to her, so she couldn't break up with her now.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wanqiu secretly calmed herself down, pursed her lips, and then smiled at Mo Weixin again.

"Princess, I have a way, don't worry." As she said this, she reached out and held Mo Weixin's arm, "Come, let's go back to the inn first, I will talk to you slowly later."

Mo Weixin is angry now, so naturally she is not so easy to coax.

She shook off Zhao Wanqiu's hand and said coldly, "What can you do? That bitch has already run away! I don't know where she hooked up with this wild man!"

Zhao Wanqiu had just seen the man fighting with the secret guards and felt that this man was indeed not simple, but she had no clue at all.

As far as she could remember, Song Qingxue had never mentioned such a person to her.

However, now is not the time for them to worry about this man's background.

They need to discuss carefully how to make Song Qingxue shut up forever.

Zhao Wanqiu suppressed her anger and spoke again: "Princess, our lives are hanging by a thread, so let's not quarrel among ourselves. Otherwise, if the Queen Regent investigates, I'm afraid neither of us will survive. After all, she also heard that it was you who revealed the news that Chen Jing was still alive."

After hearing what she said, Mo Weixin could only suppress her anger for the time being.

Zhao Wanqiu was right. Now was not the time for the two of them to have an internal conflict.

The two of them reconciled temporarily, went back to the inn together, and sat down to discuss their plan to deal with Song Qingxue.

"Princess, have you ever heard of living towards death?"

"Just tell me what plans you have in mind." Although they had reconciled, she was not in the mood to listen to her keeping in suspense.

"The phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes of fire and can soar into the sky." Zhao Wanqiu raised her eyes, gently placed her right hand on the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "Princess, have you ever thought about becoming this phoenix and soaring into the sky?"

"You are really joking with the princess." Mo Weixin said sarcastically, "Hasn't it always been your dream to become the Nine Heavens Golden Phoenix? Now you are using this to deceive me, do you really think I am a fool?!"

"My princess, you are wrong." Zhao Wanqiu folded her five fingers together and continued, "My princess, I think you also know that since ancient times, talented people can firmly hold the top position. Although my prince has that idea, it depends on whether he has the ability to do so."

"What do you mean by that?" Mo Weixin narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she didn't understand her.

Zhao Wanqiu said, "I mean, as long as Song Qingxue is eliminated, in the end, who will be the queen depends entirely on the abilities of the two princes."
