After noon, the only sound heard in the palace was Su Ruqian's heart-wrenching screams.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!! It's unfair—"

"Your Majesty, Aqing didn't kill anyone!!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!!!"

She kept shouting, until her throat was sore, and then hoarse and bleeding, but she didn't dare stop.

If she wants to save her brother's life, she must meet the prince!

"My Lady Concubine, the prince said he doesn't want to see you, so you better... go!"

Lin Xian, who was sent by Xiahou Chongyuan to get rid of her, felt very troubled.

The prince made the decision to let Su Qing be the scapegoat after careful consideration, and he would not change his mind even if the concubine cried to death here.

"No! Guard Lin, I want to see the prince! I want to see the prince!"

"Please let me in, please let me in!"

Lin Xian was very helpless, but he could not disobey the prince's order, so he could only ask his guards to drag Su Ruqian back to her yard, and then arranged for several guards to guard the door.

Here, Su Ruqian was still tirelessly banging on the gate and shouting outside, but Song Qingxue in the main courtyard was staring at Xiahou Chongyuan and laughing.

"Is this the prince's refusal to protect you?"

Xiahou Chongyuan was speechless for a moment.

"Very good! Very good!" Song Qingxue was indeed angry.

Or maybe she was just too naive.

Xiahou Chongyuan is a villain!

There is a reason why the villain is a villain.

The Regent is good in every way except that he is a cover-up person. Even when the truth is right before his eyes, he always likes to lie with his eyes open.

He was like this the last time Su Ruqian hurt her.

This time, too.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems there is nothing to be angry about.

She and Xiahou Chongyuan were just partners. No matter what the truth was, Xiahou Chongyuan had proved her innocence, hadn't he?

Now that her innocence has been proven, why should she be angry?

Her life was saved and the rumors that had a negative impact on her stopped. She should be happy.

But I still feel very sad.

Why was she sad? She didn't know.

Maybe they feel that the real murderer is still at large and feel sad for the scapegoats.

Although those scapegoats are not good things, if the culprit is not eliminated, there will only be more scapegoats in the future.

"Your Majesty, you are really disappointing."

Song Qingxue took two deep breaths, slowed down, and said, "I will move back to Chunhuiyuan today."

Xiahou Chongyuan didn't know why, but he was aroused a little anger by him.

His face was calm, and his tone was full of dominance and coercion, "The king will not allow it!"

"Why don't you allow me to do that?" Song Qingxue glared at him. "Your Majesty, please don't forget that you and I are only partners now! You have no right to force me to live anywhere!"

After hearing this, Xiahou Chongyuan immediately stopped his actions.

She was indeed right. The relationship between them was a partnership, and just a partnership.

For a moment, he didn't understand why he cared so much about where Song Qingxue lived. His emotion was really inexplicable.

Xiahou Chongyuan said nothing, so she took it as his agreement and did not stay any longer. She turned around and walked out.

"Liu Huan, pack up and move back to Chun Hui Garden today!"

"Ah? Princess, why do you suddenly want to move back?" Liu Huan was extremely worried, fearing that the prince had driven the princess away.

She followed behind Song Qingxue with a very ugly expression.

Song Qingxue felt something was wrong and turned to look at her, only to see that she looked like she was about to cry. She was a little speechless: "Why do you look like you're about to cry? Go back and clean up quickly, or it will be dark soon."

It would have been better if she hadn't said it, but as soon as she said it, Liu Huan's tears immediately fell.

"My Lady Princess, did the Prince chase you away?"

When the prince said that he wanted the princess to move to the main courtyard, she was happy for a long time.

It was thought that the princess had finally gained the favor of the prince, but unexpectedly, after such a short period of time, they had not even been able to consummate their marriage, and the princess had to move back to the remote and small Chunhui Garden.

"I want to move back on my own initiative." Song Qingxue did not explain much, but just kept urging her to hurry up.

In fact, there was nothing much to pack, just some jewelry and clothes that she often wore.

After a simple tidying up, Song Qingxue went to Chunhui Garden without staying a moment longer.

Walking into the yard, it still feels familiar.

She actually quite liked this courtyard. Although it looked much shabby than other courtyards in the palace and its area was not large enough, it was far from the main courtyard.

The most important thing is that she has lived here since she came to this world, and she has become accustomed to everything here.

Moreover, when she came, she felt that the layout was too desolate, so she personally changed the furnishings.

It’s still more comfortable to live here.

Song Qingxue had just arrived at Chunhui Garden when she saw Liu Yue leading four maids over.

"Princess, these four are sent by the prince to serve you. They will stay in Chunhui Garden in the future and be at your disposal."

"Oh!"

Song Qingxue found it funny, "What does your Highness mean by this? Is this princess missing an arm or a leg? Do I need so many people to serve me?"

Liu Yue just lowered his head and said nothing.

"Take these people back and tell the prince that I don't need them."

That's ridiculous.

Do you think that sending a few more servants to support her can make up for it?

"Take him back now! Don't let him get in my way here!"

Song Qingxue's face turned cold and she started to chase people away.

What she wants is for the truth to come out to the world, but she doesn't need to pretend afterwards.

Since he chose to protect Mo Weixin, he can forget about getting a good look from her!

"It is my fault. Why does the princess despise these servants so much?"

Song Qingxue didn't expect that Xiahou Chongyuan would come over at this time.

She looked up at him, then immediately turned her face away and said, "Oh, Your Majesty knows that he is wrong, and he must also know that I hate you now. I hope you will not be ungrateful and leave my yard immediately."

Song Qingxue was really so angry that she didn't care whether she would commit a capital crime or not, and she started to yell angrily.

Xiahou Chongyuan smiled at this time, "Does the princess mean that you really don't like these four girls? If so, then I can only kill them to vent my anger for you."

"You are so shameless!"

Song Qingxue never expected that Xiahou Chongyuan would use the lives of these four maids to force her to submit. Song Qingxue, who was already very angry, was even more angry at this time.

"The princess has wronged me. I did this just to make her laugh. Their lives and deaths are all in the princess' hands."

"You!" Song Qingxue pointed at him, wanting to curse but unable to.

Yes, the lives of these maids mean nothing in Xiahou Chongyuan's eyes.

They are just ants whose life and death can be controlled at will, just like her.

Xiahou Chongyuan's face darkened when he heard what she was thinking, and his tone became colder: "Princess, have you made up your mind? Should we let them stay or let them die?"

Song Qingxue paused and immediately became deflated.

"Stay." She lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiahou Chongyuan looked at the top of her head and suddenly had the urge to touch her head. However, as soon as he raised his hand to touch the top of her head, she stepped back.

Then he heard her say, "My Lord, I am a little tired. I will go back to my room to rest."

After saying that, without waiting for his response, she turned around and walked quickly into the house.

She finally understood that now that she was in the backyard of the palace, there would be many things that she could not control.

She couldn't anger Xiahou Chongyuan now, otherwise she would be in a more passive position in the future.

After closing the door, Song Qingxue sat in the room in silence for a long time.

She must stay calm next time and not confront Xiahou Chongyuan head-on. She cannot beat him yet!

Song Qingxue tightly squeezed her left hand with her right hand, trying to use the pain in her hand to calm herself down.

Xiahou Chongyuan, who was outside, also left because she entered the house.

Xiahou Chongyuan actually didn't understand his behavior just now. Why did he feel uncomfortable when he saw her sad?

The feeling was not very strong, but it slowly seeped into his heart, little by little, leaving him at a loss as to whether to sit or stand.
