After Song Qingxue's explicit suggestion, Xiahou Chongyuan asked the secret guards to thoroughly investigate the interactions between Mo Weixin and Zhao Wanqiu.
The result was not much different from what Song Qingxue had imagined.
Although there has been no direct evidence of any transactions between the two, they have been in frequent contact recently.
Moreover, he also found out that on the day Mo Weixin returned to the Marquis' Mansion a few years ago, she left the city before returning, and Zhao Wanqiu also left the city at about the same time on the same day.
Listening to the secret guard's truthful report, Xiahou Chongyuan now felt only disappointment towards Mo Weixin.
Before Song Qingxue brought it up, he had never doubted Mo Weixin, but she always did things that disappointed him.
The strong-willed Princess Changle in my childhood memory has completely changed.
It turns out that people cannot live in memories, and he cannot always look at a person based on the impression in his memory.
After sending away the secret guards, Xiahou Chongyuan sat alone in the study room in silence for a long time.
As soon as Song Qingxue entered the room, she saw Xiahou Chongyuan sitting at the table in a daze.
"Oh, today is really strange. The Regent Prince is sitting in the study without even reading the memorials!" Song Qingxue came up to him with a smile, "Prince, what are you thinking about?"
Xiahou Chongyuan calmed down and said, "What do you want to see me for?"
"Of course!"
Song Qingxue walked to the wall, pulled a chair over, sat down and said to him: "I went to see Chen Jing today."
"Oh? Why did you think of going to see him today?" Xiahou Chongyuan raised his eyebrows. Ever since he was assassinated, he just asked people to keep a good eye on Chen Jing, but he never thought of going to see him.
“I’ve been there many times.”
Xiahou Chongyuan couldn't help but frown, and displeasure suddenly rose on his face: "You didn't tell me before."
Song Qingxue wondered why he suddenly got angry, but she still explained: "He was not in good condition before, and neither were you. Wouldn't it be annoying for you if I told you this?"
"Then why did you tell me today? Is he better?"
"Yes! Wasn't he poisoned and mute before? Fortunately, I have excellent medical skills, otherwise he would have been mute for the rest of his life!"
Xiahou Chongyuan's expression lightened up when he heard this, and his tone became a little gentler. "From what you said, does that mean he has been cured?"
"Yes, yes!" Song Qingxue nodded. "Think about it. His master wanted to poison him to avoid exposing himself. Now we not only saved his life, but also saved him from the pain of being a mute. Shouldn't he be grateful to us?"
"Well, the princess has always been good at winning people over with virtue."
"That's right." After all, this girl grew up in a country of etiquette and was influenced by good morals since childhood.
Thinking of this, Song Qingxue suddenly became sad.
The real world is still better, where there isn’t so much fighting and killing. Even if there are some intrigues in the workplace, it won’t endanger your life.
It’s not like this damn place, where you have to keep your head on the line all the time and you can easily lose your life if you’re not careful.
I miss home.
Song Qingxue's depressed mood reached Xiahou Chongyuan's ears. He looked at her eyes and felt something was wrong.
After all, she is just a little girl from a foreign land, but she has to bear so much because of her current identity.
And from what she said in her heart, her hometown seemed to be very peaceful, close to being a paradise on earth, an ideal country of peace.
This is indeed too difficult for her.
Xiahou Chongyuan suddenly raised his hand and touched her head. Her hair was soft and he couldn't help but rub it.
Song Qingxue:!
She looked at him with wide eyes, "You, you, you! What are you doing?!"
Xiahou Chongyuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. Seeing her big reaction, he just smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Ah...it's not that hard. You don't have to be so polite."
Song Qingxue pinched the fingertips of her left hand with her right hand and lowered her head with an extremely awkward expression.
What a guy!
Does he know that you can’t touch a girl’s head casually?
In her life, she has never been touched on the head by any other man except her father.
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. Song Qingxue couldn't stand staying with him any longer, so she jumped up, found a random excuse and ran out.
Xiahou Chongyuan did not stop her. Looking at her anxious and unsteady steps, he smiled silently for a long time.
It's getting cuter and cuter.
Song Qingxue ran all the way until she reached the pond in the backyard, where she stopped.
With a red face, she leaned on the railing of the wooden bridge, then covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.
"What are you doing! I didn't say anything, why are you blushing? You are such a loser!"
"ah……"
"What the hell!"
Song Qingxue complained to the water for a long time.
She didn't know whether there was something wrong with her or with Xiahou Chongyuan. She always felt that Xiahou Chongyuan was flirting with her intentionally or unintentionally?
But he didn't seem to do anything?
Most of the time, she probably just imagines too many problems in her own mind!
I should have known not to read so many novels before. It’s really not a good thing to be too imaginative.
It's really embarrassing to be thrown into another world...
Damn!
Too raw!
When Zhu Pin'er returned to the yard from Lin Xian's place, she happened to see Song Qingxue lying on the bridge.
She was a little confused, looked at her where she was, and then walked over.
"Princess, what are you doing lying here? It's still cold, you can't just sit on the ground like this."
Hearing her voice, Song Qingxue turned around immediately.
"Pin'er." She called out weakly, then turned her head back and continued to stare at the pool of clear water.
The sun was shining brightly today, with white clouds forming patches, reflecting the sparkling water in the pond. However, her mood was in a mess, not at all as bright and cheerful as the day.
"My queen, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something unhappy?" Seeing that she had no intention of getting up, Zhu Pin'er sat down beside her.
"It's not an unhappy thing." Song Qingxue sighed and said, "Pin'er, I seem to like someone."
"Ah?!" Zhu Pin'er opened her mouth in shock, and then quickly covered her mouth with both hands.
Her eyes were filled with shock and she was speechless for a long time.
"What's that expression on your face?" Song Qingxue was puzzled. "Do I look like a person without emotions?"
"No, no." Zhu Pin'er took her hand away from her mouth and said with a stammer: "But, you are the princess? How can you like someone else!"
Song Qingxue blinked and finally understood why Zhu Pin'er reacted so strongly.
Does Zhu Pin'er think that she has fallen in love with someone else?
Please, she has been in this world for so long, and has hardly come into contact with any other men except Xiahou Chongyuan, so how could she like anyone else!
However, she is the princess. If she said now that she seemed to have fallen in love with her nominal husband, it would indeed seem strange to someone who doesn't know the truth, right?
Song Qingxue leaned on the railing dejectedly. She was silent for a long time before she spoke again: "Maybe it's just an illusion."
It was obvious that her purpose in helping Xiahou Chongyuan all along was to divorce him, so how could she possibly like him?
Illusion! It must be an illusion!
I might like him, which is one of the biggest illusions in women's perception!
"Yes, it's an illusion!"
Zhu Pin'er was completely confused by what she said.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?" Who does Your Highness like? Why did you suddenly say it was an illusion? What if Your Highness really likes someone else, what should the prince do?
Zhu Pin'er was thinking a lot in her mind, but suddenly she heard Song Qingxue say, "Pin'er, how do you think the prince treats me?"
