Boss Xue still had a calm expression on his face, and he said slowly, "Crown Princess, I have already made it clear before that I am here on the orders of the Emperor to pray for the Emperor's grandson."

"This is my duty, I am just following orders."

However, facing Boss Xue's words, Xue Jinhua's anger grew even more intense.

I saw her eyebrows raised, her eyes wide open, and she stood up suddenly, "Master Imperial Master! Even now, you still don't tell the truth, what exactly do you want to do?"

After saying that, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She waved her arm, and the objects originally placed on the table flew out in an instant.

There was a loud "clang" sound, and the objects thrown by Xue Jinhua drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground, with debris scattering everywhere and the scene was a mess.

Qingyi, who was standing by, was frightened by this sudden scene and her heart instantly rose to her throat.

At that moment just now, she watched the Crown Princess throw the things out fiercely, and thought that these things would really hit the Imperial Master directly.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Crown Princess still maintained a bit of rationality and calmness, and did not let the object in her hand directly hit the Chinese teacher.

Otherwise, the consequences may be disastrous.

At this moment, Boss Xue seemed quite calm. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Crown Princess, everything I said is true. I was just following orders."

"If you have any doubts or dissatisfaction about this, you can go to see the emperor and ask him in person."

After hearing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but snort coldly, because she knew what would happen even if she went to ask?

In the end, it all comes to nothing, a waste of effort!

Although Xue Jinhua was furious, she was unwilling to say another word at this moment.

I saw her sitting aside angrily, with a stubborn look on her face that said "I just won't cooperate".

She thought to herself: A person with such a strong sense of self-esteem like my eldest brother will definitely not be able to endure such treatment if he stays here for too long, and will leave on his own sooner or later.

However, what she had not expected was that this time he was determined to come every day, and every time he came, he would ask her about the child with great patience.

"Does your princess feel unwell today? Have you gradually sensed the movements of the fetus in your belly? If you feel any discomfort in your body, I hope your princess will tell you the truth."

Boss Xue asked in a soft voice, with a concerned look on his face as if he really regarded Xue Jinhua as a treasure.

But no matter how coldly Xue Jinhua treated him or how badly he spoke to him, Boss Xue remained unmoved and still maintained his extraordinary patience.

If Xue Jinhua had not experienced all kinds of hardships in her previous life and knew many of the hidden secrets, she would probably have mistakenly believed that Mr. Xue had suddenly become kind and had a guilty conscience, and only wanted to repair the brother-sister relationship between them that had long been broken.

However, Xue Jinhua's mind was as clear as a mirror. She knew that her brother's real intention in coming here was not as simple as it seemed.

Although he seemed to be quite concerned, what he really cared about was the condition of the fetus in his belly.

"If the Crown Princess doesn't want to speak, then there's no need to force her." Boss Xue's tone was still gentle and soft, "But if you feel any discomfort, please let me know as soon as possible."

Facing Boss Xue's questions, Xue Jinhua remained silent.

Boss Xue seemed to be accustomed to this and did not show any surprise or dissatisfaction.

He just glanced at Xue Jinhua as if it was a routine matter, and then carefully reminded Qingyi beside him of some things that needed attention before leaving.

The moment Boss Xue stepped out of the door, Xue Jinhua's face suddenly turned gloomy and stiff.

She lowered her voice and ordered, "Qingyi, quickly send someone to guard outside the door. Don't let anyone get close to this place and disturb the peace."

"As you command, Princess."

Qingyi agreed and quickly closed the door. After carefully confirming that no one was peeping around, she walked up to Xue Jinhua with a solemn face and reported in a low voice: "Crown Princess, Li San is here."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but feel delighted, and immediately said without hesitation: "Please come in!"

Not long after, Li San hurried in, came closer, knelt on one knee and saluted, saying: "Greetings to the Crown Princess!"

Xue Jinhua, who was sitting on the chair, raised her hand slightly to signal him to stand up, and said with a serious face: "Stand up, no need to be so polite. I called you here today because I have something to entrust to you."

Li San was shocked when he heard this, but he remained respectful as he replied, "Crown Princess, you are too kind. I am your servant. It is my honor to serve you. Please tell me what you want."

After receiving Li San's response, Xue Jinhua nodded and continued, "I have recently suspected that the Imperial Master is secretly planning something, but so far I have not been able to find out any information, so... I would like to trouble you to go and investigate carefully."

Hearing this, Li San couldn't help but look embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, "Does the Crown Princess want me to go to the Star Picking Platform to find out what's going on?"

Seeing that Li San had guessed her intention at once, Xue Jinhua's eyes flashed with admiration, and she nodded and said, "That's right."

"I know that the Imperial Master has always been cautious, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get any useful information from him. I think the only way to get something is to go to the Star Picking Platform."

In fact, Xue Jinhua's mind was as clear as a mirror. You know, her elder brother has been in the Star Picking Platform for many years. Even if he is very cautious and careful in his daily life, there will always be some clues left over time.

Only as long as Li San can successfully enter the Star Picking Platform can he find relevant evidence.

However, Li San obviously still had some concerns about this matter. He frowned and said worriedly, "My dear Crown Princess, the guards at the Star Picking Platform are very strict. And as far as I know, the Imperial Master has hardly ever stepped out of the Star Picking Platform in recent years."

"If we want to send someone in to investigate, we have to be absolutely sure. Otherwise, if we alert the enemy, not only will all our efforts be wasted, but it may even bring us unexpected trouble."

Xue Jinhua thought for a moment and said, "The Imperial Master comes to my place every day. I will try to postpone the matter until the evening tomorrow."

"At that time, I will try to delay the time as much as possible, and you will take the opportunity to go to the Star Picking Platform to look for relevant evidence. Remember, this matter is of vital importance and you must not be negligent in the slightest!"

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, Li San looked serious and nodded heavily.

After everything was arranged, Qingyi respectfully escorted Li San out of the palace.

However, what was unexpected was that just as they were about to step out of the palace, they ran into Qiu Shuang.

Qiu Shuang was shocked when she saw this.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to report what she had seen to the Queen.

So she hurried to the queen's bedroom.

When she saw the queen, Qiu Shuang quickly knelt down to pay her respects and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I just saw Qing Yi escorting a strange man out of the East Palace."

Hearing this, the Queen was immediately shocked and asked in astonishment, "Are you serious? Did Qing Yi really lead a strange man into the East Palace?"

Qiu Shuang quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I don't know whether it was Qingyi who brought the man, but the man was indeed sent out of the East Palace by Qingyi herself. This is absolutely true. I dare not say a single word of falsehood!"

At this moment, Qiu Shuang knew that she had finally seized a great opportunity to redeem herself, so she looked refreshed and energetic.

Her eyes were sparkling as she continued to advise the Queen, "Your Majesty, think about it. The Crown Princess is already pregnant, but she is bringing a strange man in and out of the East Palace during such a sensitive period. Isn't this incredible? There must be something fishy going on!"

Moreover, the prince is not in the palace now, which is really unexpected.

And what about the Crown Princess...isn't such behavior too unscrupulous?

As an experienced person, the queen naturally knows all about these matters between men and women.

You know, the women in this world...

When a woman's man is not around, she may occasionally get into trouble due to loneliness, which is not uncommon.

However, the situation of the Crown Princess is different now.

After all, she is pregnant now, so she should be more cautious. How could she do such a thing? Therefore, the queen was quite surprised and puzzled.

"You must quickly arrange personnel to continue the close surveillance. If you can obtain solid evidence, come and report to me immediately." The Queen ordered with a sharp look.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qiu Shuang quickly agreed.

However, every move of the Queen was soon noticed by Qingyi.

Qingyi hurried to the Crown Princess, with an anxious look on her face: "Crown Princess, this is bad. The Queen has sent someone to secretly monitor us. The plan we made before... is still to be carried out as usual?"

Having said that, Qingyi couldn't help but look worried, thinking secretly in her heart, the Queen Mother has always loved to make trouble for the Crown Princess, if she really discovered the Crown Princess's affairs this time, the consequences would be unimaginable!

However, at this moment, Xue Jinhua's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile: "Since the Queen is so keen on doing this, why not let her do it to her heart's content."

"Oh, by the way, you don't need to reveal the specific time when the National Master will come tomorrow. Just tell everyone that the National Master will come as usual."

Qing Yi was a smart person. After hearing this, he immediately understood the deep meaning behind it. He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: "After all, the Crown Princess is very wise."

Qing Yi also immediately responded, "I will follow the Crown Princess' orders. I will do as you wish."

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was the next morning.

Just as planned, the Imperial Master arrived on time as usual.

But what was unexpected was that the Crown Princess chose to avoid him.

Seeing this scene, the Imperial Master couldn't help but frown. He wanted to walk straight into the inner room, but was stopped in time by the man in blue who was waiting there.

Qingyi bowed respectfully and said softly, "Master Imperial Master, I am so sorry. The Crown Princess was too tired yesterday and has not gotten up yet."

Hearing this, Boss Xue was naturally a little displeased, and was about to ask to wait for a while before going in to visit.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Qingyi added, "Reporting to the Imperial Master, the Crown Princess has specifically instructed that she only wants to sleep and rest this morning, and no one is allowed to disturb her. As for your visit this time, the Crown Princess has instructed you to come back in the evening."

Hearing this, Boss Xue's face became even gloomier.

He was really reluctant to leave. After all, as a state teacher, how could he have been treated so coldly? But after careful consideration, he finally decided to endure it for the time being.

Because he knew that if he insisted on breaking in or showing dissatisfaction at this time, he would not only fail to achieve his goal, but might also backfire and end up losing more than he gained.

So, even though he was very unhappy, Boss Xue could only nod helplessly and slowly leave.

Anyway, it was just a little late, so there was no need to say anything else.

After he walked further and further away and his figure disappeared, Qingyi walked in slowly with light lotus steps.

At this moment, how could Xue Jinhua look like she was sleeping? She was sitting at one side, enjoying the food in her hand with great relish. She looked so happy.

"Crown Princess, everything you instructed has been properly completed. Even Li San's side has been properly arranged." Qingyi reported to Xue Jinhua respectfully.

At this point, everything is ready, except for that final crucial gust of east wind.

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua raised her red lips slightly, and a sly smile quietly emerged on her beautiful face: "Humph, this time, I want to see how they can escape my plan! I don't believe they won't be fooled."
