Pan Xiang’s death frightened Su Ruqian so much that she remained quiet for a long time.

Until the end of the house arrest, she did not cause any more trouble.

The maid who was almost beaten to death by her was kept by Song Qingxue and became a sweeping maid in the yard.

After all, she came from Su Ruqian's courtyard. Even if she was rescued under such circumstances, she could not be kept as a personal maid.

After the matter was resolved, Xiahou Chongyuan did not mention the divorce, and Song Qingxue could not bring it up herself, so she had to think of another way.

But she didn't come up with any effective solution.

Song Qingxue was very distressed, so in order to reduce the frequency of seeing Xiahou Chongyuan, she went to check on the man who almost cost her life.

His identity was indeed consistent with what Xiahou Chongyuan said. As for why he hooked up with Su Ruqian, it was a complete bloody accident.

But this matter has nothing to do with the General's Mansion.

He did apply for a job as a long-term worker in the general's mansion, but he did work there for two years before looking for another job.

Ever since he left the general's mansion, he has been living a hard life. Not only is he still unable to marry when he is old enough, but he also has a sick old mother who is waiting for him to make money for her medical treatment and food.

The reason I met Su Ruqian was because of a thief.

All his money was stolen that day, and he sat on the street in a daze. Su Ruqian mistook him for a beggar and gave him ten taels of silver.

Perhaps for someone like him, ten taels of silver are enough to buy his life.

What's more, Su Ruqian appeared when he was in such a desperate situation, so it was understandable that he regarded her as his white moonlight.

It’s funny to think about it. She really thought Su Ruqian was smart enough to find someone who was related to her to frame her.

I didn't expect all this to be just a coincidence.

…

After Su Ruqian was released from house arrest, although she did not do anything strange, she kept an eye on Song Qingxue from time to time.

She found that since the time she was confined, the relationship between Song Qingxue and Xiahou Chongyuan had become different.

We can't let these two people continue like this!

Absolutely not!

The position of princess belongs to her, and she must get rid of Song Qingxue!

Su Ruqian thought about it and decided to call back Princess Changle Mo Weixin who was praying in Dafoshan.

Mo Weixin has always liked the prince. I'm sure she'll come back soon after hearing the news about Song Qingxue and the prince.

Just as Su Ruqian expected, as soon as the news reached Princess Changle's ears, she set off overnight and rushed back to Shangjing City.

As soon as Mo Weixin came back, she went straight to the Regent's Palace. When she arrived, Xiahou Chongyuan had just returned from the palace.

Xiahou Chongyuan was surprised to see Mo Weixin.

He hadn't seen her for half a year.

After changing out of his court robes, Xiahou Chongyuan asked his servants to quickly prepare food and entertain her alone.

Princess Changle came to visit, and Song Qingxue, as the queen of the royal palace, naturally had to go and join in the formalities.

However, seeing that Xiahou Chongyuan and Mo Weixin seemed to have a very good relationship, she consciously acted as a background board and accompanied the two of them to stroll around the garden and drink tea.

Mo Weixin came back because of Song Qingxue, but when she saw her today, she felt that it was not as serious as Su Ruqian said.

She is just a woman who has a high position but is not favored. She can't be compared with her at all.

But since Su Ruqian said so, she must be on guard. Not only against this woman, but also against Su Ruqian.

Su Ruqian, this stupid woman! I thought she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Even though Xiahou Chongyuan has always loved Mo Weixin the most, his love for her may not be able to withstand the daily interactions.

She couldn't let these two women snatch Xiahou Chongyuan away from her!

Xiahou Chongyuan can only be hers.

Mo Weixin talked with Xiahou Chongyuan for a long time. When night fell and Xiahou Chongyuan sent someone to send her back, she immediately asked to stay in the palace for a while.

Xiahou Chongyuan had always respected and admired her very much, so he readily agreed and quickly arranged a guest room for her to stay.

Song Qingxue was determined to divorce Xiahou Chongyuan, so she certainly wouldn't mind another woman living in the palace. Moreover, the other party was Princess Changle, and Xiahou Chongyuan himself agreed, so it was useless for her to disagree.

After Mo Weixin moved into the palace, Su Ruqian ran to the guest room very diligently.

If you want to get rid of Song Qingxue first, you have to establish a good relationship with Mo Weixin.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Mo Weixin could see what she was thinking and was happy to accept her compliment, so the two of them temporarily united their forces.

But after living there for a few days, she felt that Su Ruqian was stupid and useless.

As for Song Qingxue, she was even more disdainful of caring about her.

Although she lived in the main courtyard, Xiahou Chongyuan stayed with her these days and never mentioned Song Qingxue.

After so many days, she and Song Qingxue hadn't even seen each other a few times.

Song Qingxue didn't even bother to pay attention to Mo Weixin and Su Ruqian because Zhao Wanqiu sent someone to deliver a note a few days ago saying that she hadn't seen her for a long time and would come to chat with her in a couple of days.

To be honest, she admired Zhao Wanqiu very much.

As expected of the heroine, her face is as thick as a city wall.

She would use any means to achieve her goal. Even though what she said at the banquet was so obvious, Zhao Wanqiu was able to adjust herself and continue to approach her as if nothing had happened.

But thinking from her perspective, she felt that what Zhao Wanqiu did was nothing. If she were in Zhao Wanqiu's position, she would definitely do the same as Zhao Wanqiu.

After all, Song Qingxue used to really listen to Zhao Wanqiu, and if Zhao Wanqiu wanted to help Xiahou Jun seize the throne, she had to start with the regent.

But the Regent is a suspicious person by nature, and it is not easy to approach her directly. The best way is to win over Song Qingxue, the Regent Princess.

Song Qingxue held her cheek with one hand and held the note handed to her by Zhao Wanqiu in the other, feeling extremely melancholy.

She didn't want to see Zhao Wanqiu at all, but she had to.

It's so annoying. Being trapped behind the high walls in the backyard, I really have no control over anything.

Liu Huan actually couldn't understand why the princess and Miss Zhao, who originally had a good relationship, had become like this.

Obviously, she was happiest when Miss Zhao said she wanted to come and see her.

Seeing Liu Huan's hesitant look, Song Qingxue couldn't help but blink and asked, "Liu Huan, what do you want to say when you look at me like that?"

"Ah?" Liu Huan was startled for a moment, then said, "I am a little curious, why would the princess be worried when looking at the note handed over by Miss Zhao? Weren't you the happiest when Miss Zhao came to see you before?"

Song Qingxue smiled and also avoided the question: "Liu Huan, you have to know that people can't be stupid all their lives. And in my current position, I can't do that."

"Ah?" Liu Huan was confused.

"In short, Zhao Wanqiu is not a person worthy of my close friendship."

Liu Huan said "Oh", obviously still didn't understand why she and Zhao Wanqiu suddenly had such a big conflict.

Song Qingxue did not explain much, she just said lightly: "It's normal that you don't understand now. Just remember that if she asks you anything, don't tell the truth."

"yes."

"Um."

After saying this, Song Qingxue sighed deeply and told Liu Huan to get ready and wait to welcome Zhao Wanqiu.

Although I don't like Zhao Wanqiu, I still have to meet her.
