Xia Tong glanced at the other person with a strange look, subconsciously took a step back, and said with a smile: "The princess seems to be particularly sentimental today."
He suddenly said so much to her, either he has seen through the world or he has other intentions.
Princess Changyang smiled slightly, then slowly raised her hand. Seeing the alert look in the eyes of the woman opposite her, she lowered her hand to her black hair and adjusted her pearl hairpin. She said in a light voice, "I just want to get it off my chest. It's rare that the princess doesn't think I'm being long-winded."
Xia Tong frowned and was silent for a moment, then suddenly said calmly, "It's late at night, Princess, please return to the palace early. I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the carriage. However, Princess Changyang was still walking alone in the snow, her back looking particularly desolate.
After getting on the carriage, Xia Tong couldn't help but ask Xi Feng outside: "Why aren't you afraid that she will harm me?"
Although she didn't think the other party would be so foolish as to treat her like this under Xifeng's nose, it was indeed a bit strange that she was blocking him.
"Don't worry, Princess. I have the confidence to do this."
Xifeng's voice was firm. Even if the person on the other side was a martial artist, he was confident that he could kill him with one blow before the other party could make a move. Otherwise, he would not have stayed with the prince for so many years.
Thinking of the other party's miraculous sword that killed someone, Xia Tong seemed to recall some memories. She couldn't help but sigh, "Why do you think she told me this?"
She originally thought that the other party was still planning to fight to the death against her, but she also felt that this was not the other party's style. But it was indeed strange that she suddenly said these things to herself.
The wheels left an arc-shaped mark on the snow. Perhaps because of the princess's pregnancy, Xifeng did not dare to speed up. Hearing this, he just said in a serious tone: "Princess Changyang is a smart person."
Hearing this, Xia Tong was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She suddenly felt that the other party was not saying this to her, but to Gu Qin, because she knew that Xifeng behind her would definitely hear her words. Was this to show her determination?
"But Princess, you'd better be more cautious." Xifeng knew too many secrets, so he naturally understood the character of this princess. She liked to use someone else's strength to kill someone else. There were so many princesses in the royal family, but only this seventh princess had a title, which showed that she was not an ordinary woman.
Xia Tong didn't say anything in the carriage, as if she was thinking about something. When they returned home, Fangyu and the others prepared pregnancy-preserving medicine for her with lingering fear on their faces, as if they thought she must have been frightened today.
After eating something, Xia Tong was indeed a little tired. Until midnight, she seemed to feel that Gu Qin had returned, but when she woke up the next day, there was no one around her.
After washing up and before having breakfast, I heard Qing'er talking about the news outside.
"My Lord, you may not know this. I heard that the fifth prince escaped, but the other princes were not spared. The Dali Temple is currently sorting out their crimes and then dealing with them."
At this point, Qing'er suddenly said in a low voice with a secretive look on her face, "And Princess Changyang actually colluded with the fifth prince and stole the map of the capital. However, the emperor, considering the relationship between brother and sister, only placed her under house arrest in Changle Palace and she is not allowed to go out forever."
Hearing this, Xia Tong, who was biting into a pastry, was startled. She felt as if she had heard something incredible. Was Princess Changyang crazy? She didn't seem to be such an irrational person to collude with Xiao Ming for no reason. No wonder she told me those things last night. She must have known that the matter would be exposed, so she used Xifeng's mouth to express her feelings to Gu Qin.
"Is the prince back?" she said as she picked up a piece of osmanthus cake.
"The prince returned home last night, but went to the study early in the morning to handle official business. It's very chaotic outside right now. I heard that the blood at the city gate hasn't been washed away yet." Qing'er looked frightened.
No wonder she felt warm in the quilt last night. It turned out that Gu Qin really came back.
Fang Yu, who was serving her porridge, smelled something and suddenly picked up a piece of red bean cake and sniffed it, her expression gradually becoming solemn.
"What's wrong?" Xia Tong didn't even dare to eat the piece of osmanthus cake in her hand.
After a moment of silence and confirmation, Fang Yu looked at her solemnly and said, "My Lord, there is nothing wrong with this red bean cake. It just contains sugar from Dongyue. However, this substance comes from a cold peak in Dongyue. It is not suitable for pregnant women. However, few people in the capital know this story."
At this point, Fang Yu frowned again, "There is indeed such a thing in the mansion. After you became pregnant, I didn't dare to ask the kitchen staff to use it. I don't know why it happened today."
Hearing this, Xia Tong couldn't help but put down her chopsticks. She was the only one in the mansion. The women from the Western Regions had all been sent away by Gu Qin. Who would want to harm her child? ?
She only has one rival in love, but is his hand so long that he can even control the people in the palace?
She had no appetite. After she drank the cold pregnancy-preserving medicine, she went to the study with candied fruit in her mouth. A few generals happened to come out of the study. When they saw her, they greeted her politely, unlike before when they chose to ignore her existence.
She quietly pushed the door open. The study was still exceptionally warm. A strange man in black was kneeling in front of the desk. However, judging from his clothes, he should be a secret guard hidden in the mansion. Xia Tong seldom saw these people.
"Go down and end it yourself."
The cold voice chilled him to the bone. The man in black stood up and walked out without saying a word. Xia Tong was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong with him?"
Seeing that her mouth was bulging as if she was holding something, Gu Qin casually put down the letter in his hand, and his tone was still cold, "It's useless to let someone sneak into the palace and get discovered. "
Xia Tong: “…”
She has always known that Gu Qin is very strict, especially to his subordinates, but she knows that he did this to make her feel guilty and learn a lesson. If there is a next time, more people will die because of her.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, but I can't just watch my mother get into trouble." She pulled the other person's sleeve and shook it gently, "Let's think of it as accumulating blessings for the children and give them another chance, right?"
Gu Qin didn't say anything, just looked at her coldly, his expression was as cold as ice, "You always only think about others, have you ever thought about me?"
Their eyes met, Xia Tong slowly lowered her head, and the secret guard also left the study, naturally understanding that the prince had let them off this time.
The study was silent. She clutched his sleeve tightly and said softly, "I will listen to you in everything from now on."
She wanted to be nice to Gu Qin, but she always felt she had no idea where to start, because he never made her worry about him, nor did he require her to do anything for him. Xia Tong suddenly began to question herself, what had she ever given for him?
Noticing that she was in a low mood, Gu Qin frowned slightly, and took the opportunity to pull her into his arms and sit down. He rubbed her soft black hair, and his eyes were burning. "This king doesn't need you to do anything, but just want you to understand that before you do anything, can you consider the feelings of people other than your parents?"
Her eyes were filled with tears and Xia Tong lowered her head without saying a word. She had never doubted her attitude towards life, but until this moment, she felt that she had made many mistakes.
Wiping away the bean-sized tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, the man sighed inwardly, his eyes gradually softened, "What did you eat?"
Xia Tong was still immersed in self-blame and didn't hear anything until her chin was suddenly lifted up and a warm touch suddenly blocked her lips. For a moment, she could only open her eyes wide and was stunned for a moment. Then she gradually and gently put her arms around the other person's neck and began to respond actively for the first time.
Her initiative made the man's eyes even hotter. His big hand gradually slid into the beautiful clothes, and the warmth in the room instantly increased a lot.
It had been a long time since they had been close to each other, and Xia Tong could not bear the other party's eagerness. In a few seconds, all her breath was taken away, and she felt a big hand reaching into her clothes.
Thinking that she was still pregnant, Gu Qin finally resisted the urge to let her go. He glanced at her pretty face with a dark look in his eyes, "What kind of candied fruit is so sweet?"
