"Lord Palmprint."

Liu Quan bowed and walked in. When he found that the two of them were doing nothing in the study, he straightened his waist slightly.

"Send the princess to her bedchamber."

Song Qingan's eyes opened even wider: "Pei Palmprint...tonight..."

Pei Qing held up a candle, and the light and shadow swayed back and forth on his face, making him look like a ghost.

"Since the princess and our family couldn't sleep well last time, let's take a break this time." Pei Qing exhaled softly, blowing out the candles, and the room became a little darker. "There is also a small room in the study.

Our family also stays here occasionally."

Song Qing'an wanted to say something else, but Liu Quan had already responded and stepped forward to respectfully lead the way. She always knew the current affairs, so she followed Liu Quan out of the study after thanking him.

Pei Qing behind him blew out another candle, and the light in the study continued to dim. There seemed to be a burning gaze behind him, penetrating the darkness and falling on his back. Song Qingan had an unreasonable feeling of being seen through.

How could it be possible... She took a deep breath calmly and suppressed her uneasiness.

——

The day before the spring hunt, Prime Minister Liu entered the palace.

On this day, Weiyang Palace was closed to all guests and no one was allowed to visit.

Dong Ruo pinched Jiang Zhi's leg carefully and said nothing, for fear that any words she said might offend her.

"How long?"

Jiang Zhi leaned on the beauty's bed, held her head in one hand, closed her eyes and asked.

Dongruo's mind changed and she replied: "Go back to your Majesty, it should be half an hour later."

"You haven't left yet." Jiang Zhi snorted coldly, "Your Majesty is really merciful."

Dong Ruo kept silent and stopped answering.

Jiang Zhi slowly opened her eyes and stared at the gold bricks on the ground in trance.

In fact, to be honest, she wasn't a little angry. To her, Liu Qiyun's demonstration was more like a desperate bluff.

But acting too indifferently can easily arouse some suspicion...

Jiang Zhi curled up her legs, and Dong Ruo put away her hands in time and stood up, standing by her side.

"What orders do you have, Madam?"

Jiang Zhi opened her mouth to speak, but a maid came in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoding would like to see you."

Jiang Zhi raised her eyebrows as if she was puzzled. Her intention to thank her guest was clear. Song Qing'an was not such a ignorant person, so how could he come here rashly?

"Or not..." Jiang Zhi thought about it at first, but then he changed his mind and said, "Let's announce it."

"Greetings to your Majesty."

Song Qing'an bowed politely, but Jiang Zhi rarely came forward to greet him.

Song Qing'an showed no emotion and sat down on a chair nearby with a calm expression.

"The queen doesn't look happy."

"Princess, isn't this asking questions knowingly?"

Jiang Zhi glanced sideways, with an unclear meaning in her eyes: "I will not see anyone today, but I only saw her for the sake of the princess."

"Qing'an certainly understands your Majesty's wishes."

Sensing Jiang Zhi's cold attitude, Song Qing'an also suppressed a bit of his smile: "Not only is the queen not happy, I am not happy either."

The cold armor gently rubbed his chin, Jiang Zhi looked at Song Qing'an, her eyes flickering slightly.

She almost forgot that the princess and Concubine Liu's holiday was much bigger than hers.

"So... I came to relieve my boredom with you."

Song Qing'an raised the corners of his lips slightly and leaned forward slightly: "The empress can see her people these days...?"

"Never."

Thinking of the news given by Song Qingan before, Jiang Zhi looked slightly cold. Liu Qiyun had indeed been inactive for several days, which actually made her a little uneasy.

It would be fine if Changle Palace still sent people, which means they didn't find what they were looking for. They disappeared within a few days. I don't know whether it was due to caution or because they had already obtained something.

Although Jiang Zhi had first gained power, the power in the palace was not as deep-rooted as Liu Qiyun's, so it was still somewhat difficult to find out anything from Changle Palace.

"Could it be that the pregnant woman that the empress mentioned earlier...was discovered?"

"That's strange. She retreated from the front and then met Master Liu on the back. Don't you think...?"

Song Qing'an's voice gradually became lower, and Jiang Zhi lowered her hand, her eyelids slightly drooping, looking thoughtful.

"Why don't you just follow the plan?"

Feeling Jiang Zhi's glance, Song Qing'an's eyes deepened: "For example... push some things onto her."

The hall was quiet for a moment, and then Jiang Zhi chuckled.

"Anyway, the queen must be careful and take good care of her body. It's time to set off tomorrow, but it's not worth hurting her body."

Song Qing'an straightened up, his face as graceful as water, except for his eyes, which were as dark as an unfathomable cold pool. Jiang Zhi thought carefully for a moment and saw whether her mood was getting better.

"Same goes for the princess."

Jiang Zhi summoned Dong Ruo, gave a few instructions in a low voice, and then said to Song Qing'an: "The princess's injury is not completely healed, right? I have some tonics here, and I will send them to the princess later."

"Thank you very much for your love."

Song Qingan stood up, thanked him, and excused himself.

As long as it can add some trouble to Liu Qiyun, she doesn't mind helping Jiang Zhi more.

"Your Highness, you should leave tomorrow. Do you really want to see Mr. He today?"

Song Qinghuai got on his horse as if he hadn't heard anything. Linyuan stopped in time and followed him dutifully.

"Why is Zikuang here?"

He Xiu was obviously surprised. Song Qinghuai came suddenly and was not informed in advance.

"Mr. He is a talented man. I want to give Mr. He a chance."

Song Qinghuai said, holding He Xiu's hand as if excited: "I have also been in contact with court officials these days. If they recommend me, Mr. He's full talent will not be wasted."

He Xiu frowned uncomfortably and wanted to take his hand out, but found that Song Qinghuai's strength was not weak and he was holding him firmly.

"Thank you Zikuang for your kindness, but I have no intention of pursuing an official career."

He Xiu declined politely. Song Qinghuai seemed to have expected this and continued: "Mr. He, there is no need to refuse in a hurry."

"Mr. He hiding here is not a long-term solution after all. Besides, no one has come to look for Mr. He for so many days..."

"This is my family matter and has nothing to do with you."

He Xiu's lips were straight and his face was cold, showing deep displeasure. Song Qinghuai chuckled lightly, still warm in the spring breeze, as if to melt the ice on He Xiu's face.

"Mr. He misunderstood. I have no intention of inquiring into his family affairs. I am just worried about him."

There was sadness on his brow, as if he was really worried about his friend: "I don't know who Mr. He has offended, and I don't know if I can protect Mr. He during my absence."

"After all, my abilities are limited. If there is help from the forces in the DPRK and China, Mr. He will not have to hide like this..."

"Zi Kuang," He Xiu's attitude softened, "I don't mean to accuse you, but...this matter is not a child's play after all. Let me think about it for a few days."

"Mr. He, don't worry, those adults are all loyal people."

As if thinking about what He Xiu was worried about, Song Qinghuai hurriedly answered: "If Mr. He agrees, I will arrange for him to meet with the adults after the spring hunting. As for the identity issue... Don't worry, sir, these can be solved."

He Xiu lowered his eyes and said, "Zi Kuang has taken the trouble. I will definitely give Zi Kuang a reply after some time."

The Habayashi Wei in front of him has been very respectful to him since the day they met. He has always called him "sir". Not to mention giving him protection, he is now promoting him to become an official...

He Xiu really couldn't figure out why he could treat someone he had never met so sincerely.
