Chapter 76: Fake Master, Real Schemer



As soon as Xiahou Chongyuan entered the room, he saw Song Qingxue who had wrapped herself up like a cicada pupa.

Hearing the footsteps, Song Qingxue did not move, but spoke first.

"I think we should either suppress the rumors or send Princess Changle away as soon as possible. Otherwise, the rift between you and the emperor will only get deeper and deeper as time goes on."

"Um."

Xiahou Chongyuan naturally knew this, but the situation had already developed to the point where it was now. It was impossible to suppress the rumors, so he could only start with Mo Weixin.

But what reason should I use to send her back requires careful consideration.

After hearing him respond with this and then saying nothing more, Song Qingxue felt a little strange, so she rolled around in the quilt and faced Xiahou Chongyuan.

"Well, then what? What are you going to do?"

"Let's do what we have to do." Xiahou Chongyuan immediately blew out the candle and lay down in bed.

Song Qingxue almost got angry with him for his indifferent attitude.

After calming down for a long time, she finally controlled her tone and said in a nagging voice, "You really are not in a hurry at all."

She was right, Xiahou Chongyuan was indeed not in a hurry.

Although he cannot control the rumors outside now, he has a plan for this matter.

He has been going out early and coming back late these days, and he is actually investigating this matter.

He had already found out the life and address of the legendary fortune teller, and was planning to visit the master's home after court tomorrow.

Thinking about it, Xiahou Chongyuan said, "Tomorrow at noon, you go to the city gate and wait for me."

"Ah?" Song Qingxue was stunned for a moment.

She was talking to him seriously about important matters, why did he suddenly change the subject?

Does this villain really not have any sense of crisis at all? !

The little emperor has sent people to monitor him. Does he really not intend to do anything?

In the silent night, Song Qingxue's voice seemed especially loud.

Xiahou Chongyuan couldn't help but curl his lips, and there was inevitably a hint of smile in his words: "I have already found the person who predicted that the princess has the fate of a phoenix. Tomorrow, the princess and I will go to see him together."

"What? Is there really such a person?"

Song Qingxue found it incredible.

She had thought that the matter of Feng Ming was just something made up by someone who spread rumors, but she hadn't expected that such a person really existed?

The person who spread the rumors is really bold to leave such a big handle behind!

"It was found that there was such a person, but it is unknown whether he was actually involved."

Naturally, he had also thought about what Song Qingxue had thought about.

Unless the person behind the scenes is really stupid, how could he leave such a big handle?

Presumably, the existence of this person was deliberately arranged to induce him to do something beneficial to the person behind the scenes.

Just as he thought of this, he heard Song Qingxue speak again.

"I think that someone who could use rumors to sow discord between you and the emperor wouldn't be stupid enough to leave such a big handle for himself. There must be something fishy going on here!"

"That's why the princess wants to go with me tomorrow to find out the truth." Xiahou Chongyuan paused and added half-jokingly, "After all, I'm timid and I'd be scared to go alone."

Song Qingxue: “…”

To be honest, even when she was in school, the coercive pressure from her teachers couldn't make her as silent as she is now.

Would a dignified regent be afraid of a charlatan?

Even if Xiahou Chongyuan is beaten to death, she won’t believe it!

Xiahou Chongyuan was also silent for a while.

Sometimes being able to hear other people's inner thoughts is really not a good thing.

My mood every day is like riding a horse, bumpy and up and down, which is too much of a test for my heart's endurance.

I was touched but not completely touched, and I was angry but not completely angry.

This feeling is like there is something stuck in my heart that can't be moved up or down, which is extremely uncomfortable.

It must be said that the only person in this world who could make him feel so complicated is Song Qingxue.

The two of them were silent and closed their eyes tacitly.

They all have things to do tomorrow.

Since the person behind the scenes left such a big loophole, no matter whether the other party is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, they have to find out the truth.

However, even though she knew she had something to do the next day, Song Qingxue still couldn't sleep.

She lay quietly, with the sound of Xiahou Chongyuan's breathing in her ears.

They were clearly not close to each other, but she had a feeling that she could fall into his arms as long as she turned over.

It's so weird.

Maybe this is the pain of being single since birth!

Song Qingxue couldn't help but sigh, turned over, and sighed again.

After sighing several times, Xiahou Chongyuan could not help but speak: "Princess, if you don't sleep now, it will be dawn."

"How can it be so exaggerated!" Song Qingxue said: "It's not even three o'clock yet."

She wants to sleep too!

But I really can’t sleep!

Having a man in her room really affects her sleep duration and quality!

Xiahou Chongyuan listened to her inner words, pursed his lips silently, and then said: "Princess, you have to get used to it."

“……”What a habit.

Instead of trying to resolve the issue quickly, you ask me to get used to it?

I'm afraid he's addicted to sleeping on the floor.

Xiahou Chongyuan actually wanted to say that he didn't mind sleeping on the bed.

But Song Qingxue didn't say those words out loud. His thick skin was really useless at this moment.

Song Qingxue was silent for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Get used to it. Once I get used to it, I won't sleep without you under my bed!"

Xiahou Chongyuan laughed twice and said nothing.

However, Song Qingxue became a little uneasy when she heard the laughter.

Oh my! His laughter...

So teasing.

It turns out that in the dark, people's senses really become more sensitive.

It’s not like she had never heard Xiahou Chongyuan’s laughter before, because it was pleasant to hear with the help of his voice, but it had never gone straight into her heart like it did now.

Song Qingxue only felt that her heartbeat at this moment was like a drum, "thump thump". It was not only very loud, but also seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat!

She pressed her heart with her hand out of fear, silently repeating, “Stop beating, stop beating, or someone will hear it if it continues!”

If I were heard...

Just thinking about it made her feel socially dead.

How can someone's heart beat so fast just because of a laugh? !

Naturally, Xiahou Chongyuan, who had a keen hearing, could hear her heartbeat clearly, and her inner thoughts were also heard clearly.

Xiahou Chongyuan was amused by her and wanted to laugh, but in order to save face for his silly and irritating princess, he chose to hold it in.

While Song Qingxue calmed her restless heart, she carefully observed Xiahou Chongyuan.

No reaction at all, maybe he fell asleep?

Thinking of this, Song Qingxue still supported herself and stared at him for several minutes before she finally felt relieved.

Thanks to Xiahou Chongyuan for his good sleeping quality. Anyone who falls asleep as soon as he touches the pillow is a god forever!

Song Qingxue showed her row of snow-white teeth in the dark and smiled silently for a long time before she lay down carefully, closed her eyes and quietly fell asleep.

Xiahou Chongyuan, who had been trying hard to pretend to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes just when she relaxed her vigilance.

He didn't say anything, but just turned over quietly and looked up at the ** person.
