Mo Weixin had just died. If he showed up so soon, it would only ruin the entire reputation of the Anding Marquis Mansion.

Marquis Anding had already proposed such an absurd thing to Xiahou Chongyuan. If the matter of Mo Weixin's fake death were to be exposed now, people outside would not know how to view Marquis Anding.

And what Xiahou Chun said in front of the mourning hall yesterday was obviously an attempt to help Marquis Anding retain people.

If his guess was correct, Xiahou Jun would definitely go to Anding Hou to discuss cooperation in detail recently.

Mo Weixin had just died in the Regent's Mansion, and after what happened yesterday, Marquis Anding would definitely hold a grudge against him. At this time, if Xiahou Chun wanted to join forces with him, he only needed to bring up these things and exaggerate them, and he would most likely be able to successfully persuade Marquis Anding.

If he wanted to clear Song Qingxue's name, he had to keep a close eye on everyone in the palace and the Marquis of Anding's mansion.

"But how can we lure her out?" Song Qingxue asked.

She obviously shared the same idea as Xiahou Chongyuan.

"In half a month, it will be the day for foreign countries to pay tribute. That will be a good opportunity."

"The foreign countries are paying tribute..."

Song Qingxue nodded, that was indeed a good opportunity.

She remembered that in the original text, Xiahou Jun's edge began to show when foreign countries paid tribute.

Because a small country called Yuchi wanted to start a war, their prince repeatedly attacked the Xiahou royal family at the tribute banquet. Xiahou Chun seized this opportunity and together with Zhao Wanqiu, he silenced the prince of Yuchi and made him willing to submit.

However, the submission was all fake. Not long after the prince of Yuchi Kingdom returned, news came from the border of Dongyue that the Yuchi Kingdom had strong soldiers and horses and was unstoppable in its attack. They actually captured three border cities in a row.

At this time, Xiahou Chun, as the male protagonist, would of course volunteer to go to the battlefield.

Although Song Qingxue didn't like Xiahou Chun and thought he was hypocritical, she had to admit that he was indeed capable.

The Yuchi Kingdom had been gathering strength for so many years, and was indeed much better at fighting than those soldiers and generals in Dongyue who had enjoyed a good life for too long. But even though Dongyue was already at a disadvantage, Xiahou Chun still relied on strategies to recapture the city and put the border on alert again.

Song Qingxue thought for a long time and suddenly remembered something important.

"Then before I bring out Mo Weixin, won't I be able to move freely?"

Not to mention free movement, it would be best if she didn't even appear in public.

Otherwise she was really afraid that those people would spit at her!

"You should stay by the Queen Mother's side today. It will be safer."

After a pause, Xiahou Chongyuan continued, "What's wrong with foreign countries paying tribute? I saw you were in a daze for a long time."

"It's good for foreign countries to pay tribute! But we are a big country, so we must not do anything to look down on others. We must be well prepared in all aspects, otherwise others will think that we are a small country!"

Of course, Song Qingxue couldn't directly say that Yuchi Kingdom might attack the border of Dongyue in the near future, but it was still necessary to give a reminder.

Although the great country of Dongyue does not need to fear a small country on the border, if a war really breaks out, there will be many casualties.

When I was reading the book, I felt that these wars were just words on a piece of paper, but now this world has become a complete world. The people here are alive. They are flesh and blood, with warmth and family.

Since she knew that something like this might happen in the future, she had to find ways to avoid it as much as possible.

But could Xiahou Chongyuan understand what she said?

Should be possible, right?

When she first arrived, she discovered that Xiahou Chongyuan's ability to understand was truly excellent. Usually, if there was something, she only needed to give a little hint and Xiahou Chongyuan would immediately fully understand it.

She just liked talking to such smart people, it didn't take any effort at all.

Xiahou Chongyuan, who was able to hear all her thoughts, naturally did not let her down this time. He hummed softly and replied, "I understand. Foreign envoys come to pay tribute for peace, and the Dongyue royal family will certainly entertain them warmly."

Well, the child is teachable.

Song Qingxue nodded, feeling quite relieved.

…

At noon, Xiahou Le went straight to Zhaohua Palace after the court session, but except for a wheelchair, there was no trace of Xiahou Chongyuan in the palace.

After asking the palace maid, I found out that he was in Chang'an Palace at that time.

After instructing the palace servant to take the wheelchair, Xiahou Le turned back to Chang'an Palace.

The Chang'an Palace was bustling at this moment. Not only were Song Qingxue and Xiahou Chongyuan there, but even Xiahou Minghao, who had been staying in the mansion recuperating for many years, was there.

"Mother, uncle."

Xiahou Le walked quickly, "It's so lively today, why didn't anyone come to call me?"

When the Queen Mother saw him coming, a kind smile appeared on her face.

"Isn't the emperor here?"

"If I hadn't heard that the Imperial Uncle was here, I really wouldn't have known that even my eldest brother was in the palace today."

Xiahou Le looked at Xiahou Minghao and said with a smile: "Brother, you look much better recently."

Xiahou Minghao nodded, "It's all thanks to Miss Huang...Song."

"Oh?" Xiahou Le's eyes lit up. "Brother, do you mean that Auntie can cure your disease?"

"Um."

“That’s great!”

Xiahou Le's life was saved by Song Qingxue, and he had complete faith in her medical skills.

However, it would have been fine if this matter had not been mentioned. Once it was mentioned, it caused Xiahou Minghao and the Queen Mother to investigate it in detail.

"The Song family has been a military family for generations, and I have never heard of any miraculous doctor known to the Song family. Qingxue, your medical skills..."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Xiahou Minghao followed up with a sentence: "Come to think of it, Miss Song's technique is more skilled than many imperial doctors, which also surprised me."

Song Qingxue lowered her head slightly, clenched the handkerchief in her hands under the table, and felt extremely nervous.

Although I have been fooled many times before, no one investigated it deeply because the situation was urgent, so I just laughed it off.

Today is different. Today no one has anything to do. They are just sitting here chatting. No one has anything on their mind, and now that we are talking about this, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to fool people.

"Qingxue learned this medical skill after entering the palace. She is indeed a rare genius. She can master medical knowledge almost instantly. She has made great achievements in just two years, which is also very surprising to me. But when she cured Le'er, she said that she had learned medicine since she was a child. It was also to save face for the imperial doctors. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for them to find that a group of people who have studied for decades are not as good as one who has only studied for two years."

Hearing this, Song Qingxue suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Xiahou Chongyuan.

He would actually help her?

Xiahou Chongyuan didn't notice her action, and just helped her talk nonsense with a serious face.

But then again, the year the original owner married into the palace, she was wholeheartedly thinking about how to please Xiahou Chongyuan, and had no energy to make friends outside. Not many people knew what she did in the palace that year.

Xiahou Chongyuan's tone at this time was very pertinent, and coupled with his expression, it sounded very real.

But...didn't the Queen Mother say that he never lies to people close to him?

How come he is so good at facial expression management on his first offense?

It seems that he has a great talent for acting.

I really want to bring him back to the modern era to debut. With his looks and acting skills, he must be a top-notch star at the best actor level!

Although Xiahou Chongyuan didn't look at her, just by listening to her inner voice, he could imagine her mischievous look.

What can I do?

I can't refute it, so I can only let it go.
