Su Qingcheng said nothing.

She still couldn't forgive herself. Now that she thought about it, she was afraid. If something happened to Lu Xuerou's child just now, she would probably collapse even more than Lu Xuerou.

"Have you told Si Yan about this?" Lu Xuerou said calmly.

Su Qingcheng didn't react at first, and was about to ask. When Chao realized that she was referring to the Buddhist beads, she shook her head and said, "No, I thought I would tell him when you wake up."

"That's good, it's better not to tell him." Lu Xuerou turned her head and looked above her head, unable to see the emotions in her eyes clearly.

"why?"

"He will feel guilty if he knows. Besides, he can't do anything if he knows. Now Prince Duan and Princess Huaining are the two most favored people in front of the emperor's grandfather. Si Yan can't compete with them."

Su Qingcheng always thought that Lu Xuerou couldn't understand these things, but how could a daughter who was raised in a big family not understand the royal family's scheme?

"Actually, Si Yan and I grew up together. I know better than anyone else that he is not the material to be the emperor. I also know that the title of the emperor's grandson was only given to the emperor because he did not want to give up the throne so soon. Si Yan's head," Lu Xuerou said slowly, knowing that Su Qingcheng was listening, "I just hope that one day, our family of three can live in peace and find a mountain forest to live in seclusion."

Su Qingcheng didn't know what to say for a moment, and the two of them were silent for a long time.

Lu Xuerou spoke first: "I'm a little tired."

"Then I'll go out and take care of things in the front office first, and you can have a good rest."

"Ah."

Su Qingcheng changed out of her blood-stained clothes, tidied herself up and went out.

Ye Tantai has been waiting for her in the yard.

"Is it done?" He said gently.

"Well, let's go to the banquet now. Your Majesty, please accompany me." Su Qingcheng couldn't tell how she felt when she saw Ye Tantai. She only felt that having him there made her feel extremely at ease.

"Okay, take these things. I'll send someone to Yipin Xianming to buy the tea."

Su Qingcheng was shocked. She didn't expect Ye Tantai to be so careful, but she couldn't help laughing when she heard the word "buy": "The teahouse belongs to the prince, just take it."

"No, the teahouse belongs to the princess."

She didn't want to argue with Ye Tantai, so they came to the banquet one after another.

After Su Qingcheng bowed, she said: "I'm sorry to bother you all today. The Emperor's concubine and the princess are all safe. These tea leaves are the characteristics of my first-grade immortal tea. Let's take them back to the house and try them."

Everyone was pleasantly surprised. Although being detained in the Su Mansion inevitably made people a little resentful, they all breathed a sigh of relief now that the Emperor's grandson gave birth safely. They just felt that they were unlucky. They didn't expect Su Qingcheng to encounter such a thing. She is so considerate, and as a princess, she can be so considerate of everyone.

"Princess, I dare to ask, why did the Emperor's grandson suddenly get into trouble today?"

Everyone asked curiously.

"I don't know who it was, but the fragrance on his body irritated the imperial concubine, which caused her to give birth a few days prematurely."

"I see. Does the princess know who this person is? I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence."

Su Qingcheng raised the corners of her mouth invisibly, and looked straight across the crowd, stopping at Princess Huaining in the corner.

"I don't know about that. The safety of the little princess is the most important," Su Qingcheng said lightly, "It's getting late, and the Su Mansion has specially prepared a carriage for you."

Just when everyone was about to leave, Xie Dai suddenly stood up and stopped him: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, the competition is not over yet."

He had been thinking about the secret book handed down by King Wu Mu for many years, and he was about to get it, but he couldn't just let it go.

Only then did everyone remember the wonderful competition just now, and they all became interested: "Yes, who won the game just now and who lost?"

"I remember that Young Master Xie is about to win."

"Nonsense, Young Master Zhou is still standing on the competition stage."

Su Qingcang came out to seek justice. He thought for a while and said, "The incident involving the Emperor's grandson happened suddenly, which caused the competition to be interrupted. Let's let the two young masters choose whether to continue the competition now or another day."

Zhou Rushuang bit her lower lip tightly, and the handkerchief on her hand had already been balled up. She looked at her scarred brother and felt extremely distressed.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Songjin and Zhou Yuanshan.

Xie Songjin glanced at Zhou Yuanshan casually and said, "Let's compete some other time. It's too late today."

Zhou Yuanshan also stood up and said: "There is no need to compete anymore, I lost."

He knew that Xie Songjin thought that he was too seriously injured and could no longer compete, so he decided to change the date.

But he knew that no matter how many times he competed, he could not beat Xie Songjin.

"In this case, it means Young Master Xie has won. I will personally come to your door one day to deliver King Wu Mu's secret book."

As Su Qingcang finished speaking, Xie Dai laughed, and everyone around him came forward to congratulate him.

However, the Zhou family members gathered around Zhou Yuanshan and cared about his injury.

"Brother, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't..." Zhou Rushuang looked at Zhou Yuanshan worriedly and said guiltily.

"It doesn't matter what happened to you, this is what my brother wanted to do. Don't think too much about it." He comforted Zhou Rushuang by touching his head.

Even so, there was still frustration that could not be concealed in his eyes, unable to seek shelter for his sister who had been doted on and loved by him since childhood.

The second young master of the Zhou family clenched his fists and said angrily: "If I had known that I was going to practice martial arts, how about I train hard for a few months and then go to the Xie family for a duel?"

Zhou Rushuang shook her head with tears in her eyes. She did not expect that her two brothers could do so much for her: "No need for second brother. Rushuang will not be jealous when she gets married, and will take care of the backyard."

At this time, Xie Songjin came over.

He was not far from the Zhou family just now, and he could overhear the conversation between the brothers and sisters.

"Since I have married Miss Zhou, I, Xie Songjin, will definitely respect and care for my wife," Xie Songjin looked at Zhou Yuanshan and said with a serious face, "Furthermore, my Xie family has rules. Men can only take concubines when they are forty years old and have no children. Brother Zhou, please Don’t worry, my sister won’t be wronged when she gets married.”

The Xie family does have such a rule, but few people know about it.

Xie Songjin said this in front of Zhou's family, which undoubtedly gave Zhou Rushuang a promise in public.

Only then did Zhou Rushuang take a serious look at the man in front of her. Although he was slender, he looked strong and safe due to his martial arts practice.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she lowered her head shyly and tried her best to get behind her brother.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief: "With Brother Xie's promise, I feel relieved. Let's leave first. We will meet again in a few days when the Holy Emperor's decree comes down."

After the Zhou family left, Xie Songjin looked in the direction of Su Qingcheng.

She was talking and laughing with Ye Tantai.

Xie Songjin suddenly felt that a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and he wanted to look forward.

The guests had all left, and Liu Rumei and Su Ruoxi also returned to the room early.

Su Qingcang pulled Su Qingcheng and Ye Tantai to a peach blossom tree in the backyard of Su Mansion with a mysterious look on his face.

He squatted down, rolled up his sleeves, and started digging with his bare hands.

Su Qingcheng asked in confusion: "Dad, what are you doing?"
