Song Qingxue's wild thoughts actually gave Xiahou Chongyuan a big shock.

His princess thinks a lot all day long.

However, it did make him somewhat happy.

Neither of them spoke again. They each closed their eyes with their own thoughts on their own. No one knew how long they had slept.

Xiahou Chongyuan got up a little late today. Seeing that he was about to miss the court session, he quickly sent someone to the palace to ask for a day off.

Of course, even after taking a leave, Xiahou Chongyuan was not idle.

After he finished washing up, he went out without saying how to deal with Mr. Chen whom he brought back yesterday.

Song Qingxue was very confused about this.

Now that the person has been brought back, why don’t you ask this guy named Chen to identify him first?

The sooner the culprit is found, the sooner they can get rid of those damn rumors!

But then again, what is the name of this Chen guy?

He is a charlatan, and she won't tolerate him being called sir all the time!

Thinking of this, Song Qingxue stood up and walked towards the guards' bedroom.

When he came back last night, Xiahou Chongyuan left the man surnamed Chen here. He must have slept in Lin Xian's room last night.

After all, Xiahou Chongyuan specifically instructed Lin Xian to keep an eye on him.

It was so late, there was no other way except to let him stay in my room for the night.

When he walked into the guards' bedroom, he saw the charlatan doing stretching exercises right under Lin Xian's eyelids.

You know what, this charlatan actually pays a lot of attention to his health.

Even when he was in the palace, he still did not forget to exercise in the morning.

She really admired this man's mentality. If it were anyone else who encountered this situation, they would probably be so scared that their hearts would be trembling, but he was different. The guards in the yard were staring at him, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, sir, you look so comfortable." Song Qingxue stepped over the threshold and walked up to him slowly.

"No, no, the princess is joking."

Song Qingxue smiled and said, "What this princess said is the truth. I have never seen many people like you who remain calm even when faced with a huge collapse."

"You are too kind, Princess."

"I'm not praising you." Song Qingxue put away her playful attitude and said, "You are so shameless. You don't have any skills, but you are so content to let me call you sir."

She said this bluntly, so the other party naturally understood.

"Princess, did you come here specially today just to make fun of me?"

"What else do you think?" Song Qingxue said, "You are acting mysteriously, but now you have been exposed. Why don't you tell me your name? Do you still expect me and the prince to continue to call you sir?"

"I dare not." He lowered his head, and understood in his heart, so he quickly said: "My full name is Chen Jing, which means "Jing" in "good time and beautiful scenery."

"Chen Jing?" When Song Qingxue heard him say her name, she immediately stretched her neck, her face full of surprise.

"Oh, Chen Jing, why is the princess so shocked?" He really didn't understand.

Of course, like him, others did not understand where Song Qingxue's shock came from.

Chen Jing is just an ordinary name. Why would the queen do this?

Indeed, in the eyes of others, Chen Jing is indeed just an ordinary name, but for her who knows the subsequent plot, it is indeed shocking.

She had never expected that the future imperial master of the Dongyue Dynasty would actually be a charlatan in the early days...

However, when Chen Jing became the national teacher, it was already after Xiahou Chun ascended the throne, and his title of national teacher was conferred by Xiahou Chun himself.

In other words, Chen Jing was on Xiahou Jun's side before he became the imperial teacher.

Thinking of this, Song Qingxue couldn't help but look him up and down.

No wonder he has such a strong mentality, it turns out he is quite a character.

I just don't know when Xiahou Jun got to know him, because when Chen Jing was mentioned in the original text, he and Xiahou Chun were already friends for life and death.

By the way, when Xiahou Chun put pressure on Xiahou Chongyuan in the later part of the original text, Chen Jing also contributed a lot.

Chen Jing felt goosebumps all over his body as she stared at him like this.

There was clearly no murderous intent in her eyes, but he just felt that the way this woman looked at him was inexplicably cold.

It felt like he was a fish on a chopping board, as if he was wondering where to start.

Since Song Qingxue didn't say anything, the others didn't dare to speak either, especially Chen Jing.

Just when the whole yard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, Xiahou Chongyuan's voice was heard outside the door.

"What is the princess doing in this courtyard?"

Although he was asking, he could hear clearly what Song Qingxue was thinking just now from outside the door.

Is this Chen Jing actually Xiahou Chun's man?

If this is true, then the driving force behind this rumor is almost certainly Xiahou Chun.

So, half of what this person said yesterday were lies?

Realizing this, Xiahou Chongyuan first looked at Chen Jing calmly, and then turned his gaze to Song Qingxue.

If his guess is true, he must not alert the enemy now.

Song Qingxue didn't expect him to come back at this time. His brain stopped working for a moment before he replied, "I just think that he is a charlatan and doesn't deserve the title of Mr., so I wanted to ask his name."

"It's just a small matter, you can just ask Lin Xian to help you ask, why bother making this trip in person."

Song Qingxue said indifferently: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I can just take these few steps as exercise."

"Yes." Xiahou Chongyuan did not continue to dwell on this question, but shifted his gaze to Chen Jing and said, "The palace will hold a banquet in three days, and you and Lin Xian will accompany them."

"Ah?" Chen Jing was a little surprised, "You want to bring me into the palace?"

Xiahou Chongyuan did not answer his unnecessary question, but said indifferently: "At that time, you should listen carefully to the sound at the banquet."

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Jing responded repeatedly, with an expression of happiness and nervousness on his face.

After saying this, Xiahou Chongyuan called Song Qingxue and left the courtyard together.

Song Qingxue walked behind Xiahou Chongyuan, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think there's something wrong with Chen Jing. We have to be careful."

Although he had heard everything outside the courtyard just now, he could only pretend that he knew nothing and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is right!" Song Qingxue responded with this kind of words. If she was asked to tell what was wrong with Chen Jing right away, she really couldn't say it.

After all, she knew Chen Jing's background because she had read this book.

She couldn't tell Xiahou Chongyuan directly that this was actually a world in a book, and she was the one who held the script and could know the future.

Oh, what a hassle!

Song Qingxue recalled the original plot for a long time before saying, "I always feel that he must have some purpose for coming back with us so easily!"

"What do you mean?"

Song Qingxue said: "He never asked about our identities, and when he found out who we were, he wasn't surprised at all."

"Yeah." Xiahou Chongyuan nodded, motioning her to continue.

"His behavior shows that he must have met the nobles in the imperial city a long time ago, and they had expected us to go there." Song Qingxue said, her face became serious, and her voice unconsciously lowered a little: "So I think he must have been waiting for us there on purpose. Now it seems that he has been caught by us, but in fact, it is possible that we have fallen into the trap of the person behind the scenes!"

"What the princess said makes sense."

In fact, he had suspected this a long time ago and had already thought of a countermeasure.

Since the other party is trying to trick him, he will just take advantage of the situation!

Having been in power for so many years, what he feared least were these conspiracies and plots.
