"Hmm." Chu Mohan responded, glanced at Chu Wanxiang, and added, "But those assassins are all working for others."

Chu Wanxiang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are lucky, you actually escaped and solved an unsolved case. But then again, who planned this case to find someone to assassinate you? Do you have many enemies in the capital?"

Chu Mohan glanced at Chu Wanxiang lightly: "Are you caring about me?"

"Don't guess, I just care about this case, and I don't mean anything else." Chu Wanxiang denied it, "You have to believe me."

"I didn't say you had bad intentions." Chu Mohan stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "This matter is handed over to the Criminal Department, we don't need to interfere."

Chu Wanxiang remembered something and asked, "Yesterday I heard those black-clothed people say 'Three Princes' and 'Queen Mother', are they palace guards?"

Chu Mohan didn't speak.

Chu Wanxiang knew it in her heart, so she didn't get to the bottom of it.

Chu Mohan prepared a sumptuous dinner, a total of eight dishes and two soups, all of which Chu Wanxiang liked. After Chu Mohan brought out the food, he sat at the table and watched her eat quietly, occasionally serving her vegetables.

"Lord, don't you want to eat?" Chu Wanxiang asked suspiciously.

Chu Mohan said, "I've already eaten it, you can eat it."

Chu Wanxiang nodded, lowered her head and ate silently.

Halfway through the meal, Chu Mohan said, "I'm going to the barracks, you wait for me to come back."

"Hmm." Chu Wanxiang raised her head and smiled slightly, "Go quickly, come back early."

Chu Mohan nodded, got up and left.

Chu Wanxiang finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and walked to the yard with her son in her arms. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he bumped into the oncoming maid, and the little baby in his arms was almost jolted out. Fortunately, Chu Wanxiang reacted quickly, hugged it tightly, and looked at the daredevil.

The maidservant hurriedly saluted and confessed: "The slave and maid see the princess, and the slave and maid are negligent for a while, please forgive the princess."

Chu Wanxiang saw her appearance clearly, and was stunned for a moment.

The person kneeling on the ground in front of her was her personal maid Qiu Ju, but she was wearing maid clothes and combing a woman's bun.

Her identity seems to have changed.

"Get up, don't be polite." Chu Wanxiang said, looked at Qiu Ju carefully, and made sure that she was not wearing a mask, so she was a little relieved.

Qiu Ju stood up, still a little cramped and uneasy, lowered her head and apologized, "It's all the slaves and maids who were careless and almost collided with the princess. The slave and maid are willing to be punished."

"No need." Chu Wanxiang said, her gaze moving to Qiu Ju's arm.

Her arm was bandaged and wrapped in a thick bandage.

Chu Wanxiang frowned and asked, "Are you injured?" Where did the injury come from?"

Qiu Ju's face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "Yes...... It was the slave who accidentally hit the threshold and broke the skin on her elbow."

Chu Wanxiang stopped asking her and changed the subject: "I've been so busy in the past two days that I forgot to ask you, have my father's bones been found?"

"Found it." Qiu Ju replied, "The old man was killed on the mountain, and all the corpses were buried in the back mountain."

Chu Wanxiang sighed lightly and asked, "How did he fall off the cliff?"

"The old man accidentally fell off the cliff after getting drunk, and the slave and maid were standing beside the old man at that time. The slave tried her best to hold the master, but in the end she couldn't save the master. Later, the slave maid found out that the master had a token on him, so she used it to make a coffin for the master, hoping to protect him from sleeping here." Qiu Ju was so grief-stricken that tears flowed down her eyes.

"Does my dad have a token on him?"

"Yes."

"How did my father's token end up under the cliff?" Chu Wanxiang muttered to herself, and a strange thought vaguely appeared in her heart.

Qiu Ju shook her head: "The slave maid doesn't know, but I just heard from the villagers that the token on the master's body is closely related to the tomb in his hometown."

Chu Wanxiang groaned, "Perhaps...... My father built that tomb?"

"Huh?" Qiu Ju was stunned, "But the old man obviously fell off the cliff and died!"

Chu Wanxiang

He smiled casually and said, "Maybe God couldn't bear to see him lying alone on that tombstone, so he gave him a new life, and he was afraid that people would know about my existence, so he protected me in another way."

Qiu Ju opened her mouth, as if she wanted to explain something, and finally turned into a sentence: "Is that so......

"Okay, I'm sleepy, you can step down." Chu Wanxiang waved her hand and motioned for Qiu Ju to retreat.

Qiu Ju hesitated for a moment, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.

As soon as she walked away, Chu Wanxiang immediately called the housekeeper and ordered, "Send someone to check Qiu Ju's background immediately. If there's anything special, let me know."

"Slaves obey."

Chu Wanxiang returned to the house and lay on the couch tossing and turning. Although she hated her father Chu Zhengyuan very much, after all, her father had raised her for many years, and she always had feelings, and she was still quite shocked when she heard the bad news of her father's tragic disaster.

"Alas, maybe he really had God's mercy and gave him another chance. I must make good use of it to avenge my mother!" Chu Wanxiang clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind.

She closed her eyes, thinking of Chu Mohan's indifference and disgust to herself, and a touch of sourness rose in her heart. new

"The prince doesn't love concubines."

When Chu Wanxiang thought of this, a slight ripple appeared in her heart, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

She suddenly missed Chu Mohan very much, and she really wanted to hug Chu Mohan's warm and broad chest and snuggle up.

But she didn't dare.

They're over. She was no longer entitled to his favor.

He is willing to keep her with him now, just because he is pregnant. Her child is his only child, and he will give the child a complete family, so he reluctantly tolerates her staying in the house.

Chu Wanxiang didn't dare to hope any more.

She only hoped that this child could bring him a little comfort and solace, otherwise...... She would rather he never come.

"Sister, sister?"

A familiar voice came to my ears. Chu Wanxiang opened her eyes and saw Qiushuang coming over with a basin of water.

"Sister awake?" Autumn Frost happily came over.

She is much more beautiful than before, and her eyebrows reveal a bit of lively and delicate temperament. She reached out and touched her head and asked, "Qiushuang, how are you doing?"

"It's good, the prince is very good to me." Qiushuang smiled sweetly.

"He's been nice to you?" Chu Wanxiang was surprised.

"yes. Every day, the prince will take the time to talk to me and buy me snacks." Speaking of snacks, Qiushuang licked her lips, her eyes flashing with longing, "And the prince taught me how to learn calligraphy. Sister, the prince's handwriting is very good, he said that after the child is born, let me teach the baby to write and read, and give him enlightenment to read, teach him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors."

Chu Wanxiang smiled: "This is a happy event, when the child is born, you can take good care of him and train him to become a talent."

Qiushuang said happily, "Well, I'm looking forward to that day soon!"
