"The princess doesn't have anything to ask?" Xiao Yi asked, untethering Qingchen's acupoint.

"If the prince wants to tell me, he will naturally say, if the prince doesn't want to say, then it's useless for me to ask. Qingchen suppressed the shock in his heart, calmed down, and then spoke, "This night, it makes people think that the prince and I are in love." ”

"The princess is really unusual, sitting here all night, but she can endure what ordinary people can't bear, this king admires. Xiao Yi said.

"If the prince is fine, can you let my two girls go? It's dawn, and I should go back to Luluo. Qingchen seemed to ignore Xiao Yi's words and said directly.

But under the table that Xiao Yi couldn't see, Mu Qingchen's hands were clenched into fists, trying to restrain the irrepressible emotions in her heart, the calm on the surface was just a cover-up, she was eager to escape from here, because the smell of rotting corpses came from Xiao Yi's body from time to time to tell her that her Ye family was full of tragic deaths.

Xiao Yi gave Zhao Xu a look, and Zhao Xu unlocked the sleeping hole of Huai Jin and Ji Yu, and the two got up, pretending not to know what was going on, and looked at Mu Qingchen blankly.

"Princess, we ......"

"You're just asleep. Qingchen said, as if he was making a promise to Xiao Yi, "Okay, let's go back to Lulu." ”

Huai Jin and Zhan Yu lowered their heads, and quietly followed Mu Qingchen out of Tingyuxuan, and walked towards Lu Luoju, but the next moment they left, Zhao Xu suddenly spoke:

"Master, there is something suspicious. ”

"Where is it suspicious?" Xiao Yi's eyes flashed slightly, looked at Zhao Xu, and asked.

"The two maids had a normal body temperature, and their limbs showed no signs of stiffness, and it was not at all like they had slept on the ground all night. Zhao Xu said.

"Look at the ground. Xiao Yi didn't make a sound, but said so.

Zhao Xu followed Xiao Yi's gaze, but saw a series of footprints with soil and water vapor, judging from the position where Mu Qingchen and the three of them walked out, the footprints were Mu Qingchen's.

"Master, this ......" Zhao Xu couldn't help but be frightened, looked up at Xiao Yi, and stopped talking.

"Don't worry, she can't hinder the king's affairs, if possible, she will become the king's help. Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Dispose of this footprint." ”

But when Xiao Yi already knew that Mu Qingchen had actually gone out last night, Qingchen had already returned to Luluoju.

She didn't say a word, but her eyes were misty, and she didn't know where her mind went, Huai Jin and Zhan Yu saw it in their eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in their hearts.

"Princess, I wonder what happened last night?" asked Hold Yu as she couldn't bear it.

"It's okay, I've been tossing all night, I'm tired and want to rest, you go down, just tell people that I'm not feeling well today, and no one should disturb me. Qingchen entered the house and did not answer what Ji Yu said, but just said so.

"The subordinates retired. Huai Jin and Ji Yu served Qingchen and lay on the bed, and then they retreated and left Qingchen's bedroom.

Mu Qingchen kept thinking about the scene she saw in Night Crying Mountain last night, the corpse of the Ye family, such a shocking scene, it was also a past that she didn't dare to face and didn't want to face, but because she was following Xiao Yi, she was moved to her alive, so that she couldn't escape.

There is also Xiao Yi's attitude towards the Ye family, the "he" in Xiao Yi's mouth, and Xiao Yi's respect for her father, she feels that there seems to be a cloud of fog flashing through her mind, which makes her puzzled.

Since returning to Ningyue, she has had a clear goal and has done everything she can to get justice for her Ye family for the purpose of ruining the Xiao family, but there is a Xiao Yi, a Xiao Yi who makes her unpredictable.

Thinking...... Slightly messy.

Qingchen slept until almost noon before getting up, Aunt Qiu and Jinyan only thought that she was tired because she was with Xiao Yi, so they didn't disturb her rest, and when it was time for lunch, they saw Qingchen come out with a faint expression.

"Princess, these shoes were fine yesterday, why is there so much dirt on them today?" Jin Yan waited for Qingchen to get up and cleaned up the bed, but when he saw Qingchen's shoes, he asked.

Qingchen was shocked, looked towards her shoes, and found that there was really a lot of soil, probably from her when she cried at night, so she said:

"When I went to listen to Yuxuan last night, I accidentally kicked over a flower pot, probably because it was stained at that time, and since it was dirty, I threw it away. ”

Qingchen's tone was flat without a trace of emotion, and Jin Yan didn't find anything, so he took his shoes and walked out, just walking to the door, but Jin Yan said in surprise: "Isn't this Concubine Shen?

"I ......" Shen Bining was speechless for a while, turned her head to look at Mu Qingchen, and then spoke, "The concubine has something important to discuss with the princess, can the princess talk to the concubine alone?"

"Why not?" Qingchen looked at Shen Bining for a long time, and said lightly, "Aunt Qiu, you go down first." ”

After that, Aunt Qiu and Jin Yan withdrew, and Aunt Qiu also helped Qingchen and Shen Bining close the door.

Shen Bining cautiously looked around, and saw that there was indeed no one, so he spoke to Mu Qingchen: "The dirt on the princess's shoes is not caused by kicking over the flower pot, right?"

"Why did Concubine Shen say this?If she hadn't kicked over the flower pot, then how did she come here?" Qingchen paused slightly with his hand holding the teacup, and then took a sip lightly before he said.

Nuan Dong said that she once saw the princess coming back from outside in the middle of the night, and although the concubine scolded her for talking nonsense, she quietly paid attention. Shen Bihuan said with a smile, "The princess came back from the prince before dawn this morning, her clothes are neatly dressed, her makeup is not messy, why doesn't it look like she has been with the prince all night, I don't know if what the concubine said is right?"

Qingchen looked at Shen Bining with a smile, as if she wanted to see something from her face, she was sure that Shen Bining definitely didn't come to her for no reason today, but found that she was not in Yiwangfu last night, and came here on purpose.

"Does Concubine Shen think that she has pinched my handle?" Mu Qingchen didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it, he just asked, his voice was still shallow.

The concubine didn't dare, but the concubine felt that if the emperor and the queen mother knew about it, the princess's life in the Yi Wangfu would probably not be so easy. Shen Bining lowered his head and said such a sentence respectfully and meekly.

Mu Qingchen smiled, sure enough, she was the daughter of a wealthy family like Xiangfu, none of them were innocent, even a person like Shen Bining, who seemed to be timid and afraid of things in Su Ri, actually had the courage to threaten her. Regardless of whether she left the Yi Palace's mansion in the middle of the night, if Xiao Ling and the Queen Mother knew about it, then there would be more eyeliner and spies around her, and her actions would be more inconvenient.

"So...... What do you want?" Mu Qingchen said lightly.

"I want to have a baby. Shen Bining looked at Qingchen's face and said categorically.

"Huh...... Didn't Concubine Shen find the wrong person? If you want a child, shouldn't you come to the palace, you should find the prince. Mu Qingchen chuckled and said, "What's more, this palace is not the one who sent Guanyin, how could it be possible to give Concubine Shen a child?"

"The princess misunderstood the meaning of the concubine, the concubine said that the concubine has her own way to let the princess come to the warm pavilion to spend the night, I just hope that the princess will not get in the way, if the concubine is lucky enough to be pregnant, the princess will help protect the child. Shen Bining said, "And the concubine also believes that the princess must have the ability to do it." ”

"Why does this palace believe you? Now the Queen Mother is your aunt, and Concubine De is your own sister, wouldn't it be better to find them to take refuge? Why would you choose an outsider in this palace?" Mu Qingchen's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and he asked.

"The princess is very smart, it shouldn't be that she didn't see the current situation of the concubine, right? Even the right-hand girl next to me is Concubine De's mother, and the Queen Mother's mind has always been on Concubine De, the Queen Mother sent me to King Yi's Mansion, undoubtedly treating me as an abandoned son of the Shen family, used to contain the prince's sight, if the concubine can't find a way out for herself, then who can she count on?" Shen Bining said, her eyes firm.

"You go back, this palace can only promise you, it will not hinder your thoughts, as for whether you can have children, it depends on your creation. Mu Qingchen lowered his eyes and said.

Then the concubine will be the princess agreed, please rest assured that the concubine will keep her mouth shut about the princess's secrets, and please keep the princess's word. Shen Bining said, turning to leave.

Mu Qingchen looked at the back of Shen Bining leaving, and his eyes crossed. Xiao Yi is now Prince Yi of Ningyue Kingdom, this title must be inherited by someone, she Mu Qingchen is the concubine of King Yi, and the child she gave birth to should be the prince of King Yi, but the bad thing is that she is the princess of Tianxing Kingdom.

Tianxing Ningyue has always been only peaceful on the surface, and the Xiao royal family will not let a child of a foreign woman inherit the title of Prince Yi no matter what. And Shen Bining is different, although she is a concubine, she is the daughter of the prime minister, and she is the lady of Ningyue Country, and her child is named the prince, it is not indispensable.

As long as there is this child, no matter what kind of result Xiao Yi and Xiao Ling fight against, it will not endanger her and the child's status. If Xiao Yi has the upper hand, then Shen Bining and the child are the bargaining chips that Xiao Yi can gain a foothold in the Ningyue Kingdom; if Xiao Ling has the upper hand, in order to show that he is magnanimous and will not be able to cause trouble to his wife and children, Xiao Ling will not be too embarrassed Shen Bining.

really made a good calculation, Qingchen admired, in fact, Shen Bining was not as stupid as she seemed on the surface, probably all the grievances were just to endure humiliation, and all the ignorance was just an illusion she made to confuse Shen Bihuan.

But for some reason, Mu Qingchen thought that Xiao Yi and Shen Bining were about to have a child, so he crossed a trace of chaotic emotions in his heart for no reason, frowned slightly, suppressed this strange emotion, and instead thought about how to make Shen Bining really keep his mouth shut.
