Xiahou Chongyuan was very puzzled.

Is there any deep hatred between Song Qingxue and him?

It would be fine if you just thought bad things about him, but you actually thought that others would turn him into a human pig?

He narrowed his eyes and stared at Song Qingxue, his eyes full of aggrieved and resentful feeling.

Song Qingxue was also puzzled.

She didn't understand why Xiahou Chongyuan suddenly looked at her with such a strange look?

It was as if she had done something terribly bad and caused him to suffer so much injustice!

But now there are outsiders in the car, and it is obviously not appropriate for the cold and noble Regent to keep such a terrible expression.

She scratched her cheek lightly and grinned awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, do you... have anything to say to me?"

"No."

Xiahou Chongyuan withdrew his gaze and regulated his expression.

"Oh, that's good, that's good."

Song Qingxue gently stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was actually quite afraid that Xiahou Chongyuan would say something to her, because he always said something very subtle.

Their relationship now is a pure partnership, which wasn't supposed to be like this.

Xiahou Chongyuan had already calmed down after listening to her true feelings.

He had heard it before, and although he had never said it out loud, he was still angry in his heart.

But now that he knew Song Qingxue's concerns, he would no longer get angry for no reason.

Instead of being angry, you might as well do something practical to win her back.

The two men lowered their heads, each with their own thoughts.

When Xiahou Jun, who was riding with them, saw this, he understood a little more.

Humph! Xiahou Chongyuan, you have come to this day!

The look of love in one's eyes cannot be hidden. Even the regent who is good at disguise cannot hide his love when facing his beloved.

Xiahou Chun glanced at the two of them casually, but his mind was already calculating.

For the cold-blooded regent, having someone he loves is like having a soft spot.

Since he insists on going against him, don't blame him for attacking the woman he loves.

To kill someone, one must first destroy his heart. If Xiahou Chongyuan cannot be touched for the time being, then strike at his weak spot.

Song Qingxue did indeed arouse his interest and was worthy of being the woman who could make Xiahou Chongyuan fall in love.

…

After Xiahou Chun entered the palace, he went straight to Chonghua Palace.

Zhao Wanqiu was sitting in the yard chatting with the concubine. As soon as he entered the room, he sent all the palace maids out of the yard.

"Your Highness."

Zhao Wanqiu looked at his movements and already had an idea in her mind, but she still called out softly.

Xiahou Chun walked to the table with a gloomy face and sat down. He stared at her unhappily and said, "Mother, Wanwan, do you know that if you sit like this today, how will the princes of Yuchi Kingdom see us, Dongyue?"

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter what the Prince of Yuchi thinks. Anyway, he..."

"Shut up!"

Zhao Wanqiu was so frightened by his loud shout that her whole body trembled, and her expression suddenly became extremely aggrieved.

She stretched out her hands to hug his arms, and said pitifully, "I did that today for the safety of my mother, Your Highness! Everyone knows who Song Qingxue belongs to, so how can I be assured of letting her treat my mother?"

"Besides, I grew up with her, and I know how vicious she is! If I don't stop her today, and she really helps mother with her eyes, then mother might really become blind!"

Every word she spoke was so sincere that it was hard not to believe it.

But Xiahou Chun knew very well who the real culprit was behind many things.

Except for not being from his faction, Song Qingxue is good in all aspects.

The only mistake she made was to associate with Xiahou Chongyuan.

Hearing the two people's quarrel, the concubine couldn't help but speak up: "Chun'er, Song Qingxue is indeed not a good person. Wanqiu lost her composure today because she was worried about me. Don't quarrel with her."

Concubine Zheng actually knew everything in her heart, but because Song Qingxue always followed the Queen Mother in making sarcastic remarks to her, she had always had a great prejudice against Song Qingxue.

She already had prejudice in her heart, and after hearing what Zhao Wanqiu said, she naturally only believed Zhao Wanqiu.

Having lived in the deep palace for twenty or thirty years, and having survived the traps and schemes of so many women in the three palaces and six courtyards to get to where she is today, she doesn't believe that there are such good people in the world.

Therefore, she would rather agree with Zhao Wanqiu's words that confuse right and wrong than believe that Song Qingxue could really be so kind.

Seeing that the concubine had spoken up to defend Zhao Wanqiu, Xiahou Chun followed her words and said, "Wanwan, I don't mean to blame you, but it's really not nice for you to make such a fuss in front of outsiders."

Although he knew the truth of what Zhao Wanqiu said, he was not stupid enough to anger Zhao Wanqiu at this time.

After all, she still has to negotiate with the prince of Yuchi Kingdom and discuss the details of the cooperation.

Although he was somewhat interested in Song Qingxue, he was not so interested that he could not distinguish the importance of the matter.

Seeing that he had admitted his mistake, Zhao Wanqiu stopped arguing with him.

"I understand. I will pay more attention to it in the future."

"Um."

…

May 17th.

The envoys from various countries finally arrived. After Xiahou Chongyuan received the last batch of foreign envoys, he returned to Zhaohua Palace early.

When he came back, Song Qingxue was sparring with Song Qingfeng with a spear.

Seeing him come in, the brother and sister stopped their moves in tacit understanding.

Song Qingxue looked at him and said, "You finished your work so early today. You came back before it even got dark."

"All the envoys are here. We have nothing to do after we have arranged their affairs."

"Then you can rest early tonight."

Xiahou Chongyuan nodded and called her into the house.

Song Qingfeng, who had been completely ignored since Xiahou Chongyuan came back, looked at the closed door and felt disheveled in the wind.

He always felt that if the situation continued to develop in this way, Song Qingxue would sooner or later get back together with Xiahou Chongyuan!

However, this is a matter between the two of them, and as long as Song Qingxue is willing, he will not care too much.

Anyway, the General's Mansion will always be her safe haven, and he and his father can always support her.

Song Qingfeng spread his hands, said hello to the palace maid beside him, and left on his own.

After entering the house, he saw the maid closing the door, so he quickly stood up from the wheelchair and walked to the bedroom in two or three steps.

"Qingxue, my legs hurt."

When Song Qingxue heard this, she immediately frowned.

"It hasn't rained or been windy these days, so why do your legs hurt?"

"I don't know, it just hurts."

"Then lie down and I'll show you."

Xiahou Chongyuan lay down obediently, then watched her pinching his legs seriously with a smile on her face.

"What kind of pain is it exactly?"

"cramp."

"You must be calcium deficient."

Song Qingxue loosened his hand and said, "Your leg has recovered well. You won't need acupuncture anymore. I'll ask someone to make you some bone soup to replenish your calcium."

"good."

"By the way, you asked the secret guards to keep an eye on those people recently. Have they made any moves?"

"Except that Zhao Wanqiu accompanied the prince of Yuchi country for a stroll every day, there was nothing else unusual."

"Accompany them every day?" Song Qingxue thought seriously and said, "There must be something wrong with them."

Zhao Wanqiu is now a princess, not the concubine of the Shangshu Mansion.

A married woman accompanies another man every day, and her husband Xiahou Chun doesn't even say a word. She won't believe that they have no collusion!
