A good pregnancy hosted her multiple births and she reached the pinnacle of life

Qi Xinyuan agreed immediately,

"Don't worry, I understand the truth behind the death of lips and teeth. I will ask my father what he thinks. Your Majesty is foolish and ignorant, and I don't want to work under such a foolish king."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Qu Chengan was about to leave with Sultan Ruo.

Sultan Ruo worriedly told Qi Xinyuan that he must pay attention to safety and not confront the Marquis.

Qi Xinyuan gave Sudan Ruo a comforting look dotingly.

Sultan Ruo then followed Qu Chengan and left the Hou Mansion.

Sultan Ruo walked very fast along the way, without waiting for Qu Chengan at all.

Qu Chengan quickly followed Sudan Ruo. When they arrived at the door of Su Mansion, Qu Chengan grabbed Sudan Ruo.

Sudan Ruo looked at Qu Chengan coldly.

Qu Chengan couldn't stand Sudan Ruo's cold eyes, so he frowned and asked:

"Why are you so cold to me? Am I wrong to reduce the risk for you?"

Sudan Ruo sneered, "Ha, I didn't know that your acting skills were so good. You are obviously very skilled in martial arts, but you still pretend to be a mermaid."

Qu Chengan was speechless for a moment.

He had forgotten about it.

He originally thought that Sultan would be angry because he went to find Qi Xinyuan without permission, but he didn't expect that it was because he had lied to her.

Sultanruo shook off Qu Chengan's hand and entered the house.

Nanny Zhang happened to get up at night and saw these two people entering the house one after another, looking like they were having a quarrel.

The next day, the empress learned about the conflict between the two last night.

She summoned Qu Chengan to the palace and asked:

"I heard that you and Su Qing had a fight last night?"

Qu Chengan smiled bitterly when he thought about what happened last night, and then said:

"I made her angry."

The empress looked at Qu Chengan and knew that he didn't know how to please girls.

The empress spoke earnestly to Qu Chengan. If Sultan Ruo didn't like Qu Chengan, then she wouldn't be able to place another such person next to Sultan Ruo.

Qu Chengan silently memorized some of the methods and techniques the empress taught him.

Seeing that Qu Chengan was listening seriously, the empress couldn't help gossiping:

"His Royal Highness Proton doesn't really have any evil thoughts about Su Qing, does he?"

Qu Chengan was worried that the empress would think too much, so he quickly denied it, but in the eyes of the empress, this was just a cover-up.

The empress had an "I understand" expression on her face, waved her hand and said to Qu Chengan:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I am not an unreasonable person. Now that General Su is dead, Su Qing's threat to me is no longer great.

If you really fall in love with Su Qing, as long as you help me seize the military power from her, I can betroth Su Qing to you and let you take her back to Jingyong Kingdom. "

Qu Chengan knew that any further explanation would only arouse the Empress's suspicion, so he had no choice but to acquiesce.

Hou House.

While eating, Qi Xinyuan began to test the Marquis's attitude by making insinuations.

"Dad, I went to General Su's house to express my condolences a few days ago. You said that General Su was about the same age as you and in good health. How could he suddenly die of serious illness?

Could it be that someone couldn't stand the old General Su and killed him, right? "

Mr. Hou's movement of picking up the vegetables stagnated.

Even someone like his son, who only studies and ignores government affairs, has thought of this. How could he not think of it!

Seeing that the Marquis did not speak, Qi Xinyuan continued to ask:

"Dad, we didn't offend anyone in court, right?"

The Marquis glared at Qi Xinyuan,

"Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep, where have you learned all the rules?!"

Qi Xinyuan quickly shut up and stopped talking, but kept secretly observing the expression of the Marquis.

But after all, the Marquis has been in the court for so many years, how could it be so easy for others to see what he was thinking.

Qi Xinyuan had no choice but to eat first. Since the Marquis was unwilling to tell him, he asked his mother to ask.

After dinner, Qi Xinyuan called out to Mrs. Qi.

"Mom, the scientific examination is approaching, and my son would like to discuss with his mother what he should bring with him to the examination room."

Mrs. Qi has always been partial to her son, and she will basically satisfy her son's requirements.

As soon as he heard Qi Xinyuan talk about going to the examination room, he immediately followed Qi Xinyuan to his study.

Qi Xinyuan first chatted with Mrs. Qi about household matters and some preparations for the exam, and then began to change the topic.

"Mom, I asked my father about General Su during dinner today. Why do I feel that my father is so worried?"

Mrs. Qi sighed unconsciously when she thought of what the Marquis had said to her that day.

"Your father may have his own considerations. Things in the court are changing rapidly, and everyone works under His Majesty. If you become an official in the court in the future, you must be careful at all times.

It doesn't matter if you offend others. What's important is not to go against His Majesty. Do you understand? "

Upon hearing this, Qi Xinyuan knew that the Marquis must have guessed that the real murderer who wanted to kill General Su was His Majesty.

But the Qi family is His Majesty's maternal family after all, so His Majesty will not take action against the Qi family easily.

As long as the Qi family does not stand against His Majesty, they can protect themselves wisely.

Qi Xinyuan knew that it would be impossible for his father and Sultan to unite as a front.

But let him stand by and maybe give it a try.

Although Your Majesty is his aunt, in his impression since childhood, this aunt was not close to the family.

Therefore, the relationship between the family and His Majesty is not as good as everyone imagined.

It's just that they are tied together by interests.

Qi Xinyuan smiled and comforted Mrs. Qi:

"Don't worry, mother, no matter what happens, my son will definitely protect our family!"

Mrs. Qi looked at her son with relief,

"My son has grown up and knows how to share the worries of his father and mother.

It's just that the scientific examination is about to take place in half a month. You don't have to worry about things at home, just study hard. "

Qi Xinyuan nodded and sent Mrs. Qi out.

Then he asked his servant Aji to send a message to the Su Mansion, inviting General Su and His Highness Proton to come to Zuixian Tower to get together.

Zuixianlou is the most famous restaurant in the capital.

There are extremely private rooms upstairs, which are reserved for some noble people to discuss some private matters in the house.

Although the three of them could book the most luxurious private room, they wanted to keep a low profile so as not to attract the attention of others.

A few people still booked the room on the top floor closest to the inside.

Although this room is a bit smaller, there is a very inconspicuous small staircase that leads directly to the interior of the room, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by others.

After arriving here, Sultan Ruo remembered that this was the place where the original owner and Qi Xinyuan often sneaked out to meet each other.

It's a pity that the original owner is no longer here. If Qi Xinyuan knew this fact, he would definitely not be able to accept it, right?

Sultan Ruo was staring at the stairs in a daze at the bottom of the stairs. Qu Chengan stepped forward to remind Sultan Ruo:

"Hurry up! Be careful of being seen by acquaintances."

Sudan Ruo then came back to her senses and smiled to herself. When did she become so sentimental?
