When Meng Di married Zhao Xi, of course, she also had the power to win over the Zhao royal family led by Zhao Xi and ensured that her nephew Zhao Yong ascended the throne. How could she protect Zhao Xi because of her children's affair?

However, Meng Di frowned, thought about it and then she almost racked her brains, and did not feel that Zhao Xi was suspected of colluding with the Lin Hu people. She later shook her head and replied: "I can tell you clearly that Zhao Xi is definitely trustworthy in protecting the interests of Zhao State. Although he sometimes stands up and speaks bluntly about opposing some of the monarch's policies, he is still for the sake of Zhao State."

Meng Di thought about it carefully, and found it strange, and asked back, "I'm very curious, why did you doubt Zhao Xi's head? Did he do something inappropriate that makes you suspicious?"

Su Qin looked solemn and replied, "I know Dr. Zhao Xi very well, so I specially invited you to verify his loyalty. It's said that I'm a rush to seek medical treatment."

"Doctor Zhao Xi and Zong Zheng Zhao Rong both wrote letters to the king against the Hezong Alliance, and the most intense one was Doctor Zhao Xi. Therefore, we suspect that some ministers in the country were dissatisfied, so we colluded with the Lin Hu people to make trouble, deliberately creating border wars at this time, interfering with the Zhao State's governance focus, making Zhao State no time to hold the Huanshui Conference, and thus destroying the Hezong Alliance."

When Meng Di heard this, her face became very anxious. She said, "I just know that Zhao Xi has always opposed Zhao's focus on diplomatic alliances, and also knows that he has opinions on this Huanshui Alliance, but he doesn't know that he has such a clear attitude to put forward his objections."

Meng Di sighed and said, "Zhao Xi is a fool. Even if he opposes the alliance, he cannot serve as a tool for others. The king has already determined the date of the Huanshui Conference and is committed to preparing for the conference. He should put the overall situation first, rather than stubbornly stick to his own opinions."

It can be seen that Meng Di felt regret and anxious for Zhao Xi, and her heart was towards her husband Zhao Xi. Su Qin felt very puzzled and began to wonder: "On the one hand, Meng Di defended Zhao Xi, saying that he was devoted to Zhao State; on the other hand, she said that he was confused. So is it possible that Zhao Xi will take the path of deviating from the interests of Zhao State?

Su Qin looked at Meng Di with confusion, and Meng Di lowered her head to think, her face became heavy.

After a long time, Meng Di finally raised her head and said, "This matter must be hidden secrets behind it. I'm afraid it's not as simple as making trouble and causing trouble for the Hezong Conference."

Su Qin said "Oh", looked at Meng Di in surprise, and immediately asked: "Why do you see this?"

Meng Di said: "Zong Zheng Zhao Rong and Zhao Yun, the imprisoned Fengyang Jun, were originally brothers. Their relationship was very close. Now they are urging Zhao Xi to come forward to advise. Does he have any secret pictures?"

Meng Di pointed out this clue, and Su Qin himself felt a little uneasy. Then he turned his thinking to another aspect: that is, the old forces of Zhao State were still unwilling to lose in the battle for the crown prince, and through the Huanshui Conference, they created trouble and thus won a game back.

Thinking about this idea, Su Qin was shocked. If this idea was correct, wouldn’t it mean that Zhao State is facing internal and external troubles now? Not to mention that the Huanshui Conference cannot be held again, even the domestic political situation will be turbulent.

So, what method does the Zong Zheng Zhao Rong, whom Meng Di suspected, want to use to create trouble? If he colludes with the Lin Hu people and the Lin Hu people invade the border of Zhao State, what is the relationship with the battle for the position of crown prince?

Although Su Qin was frightened, he still did not dare to believe that Meng Di’s guess was completely credible. He could not help but wonder: “Is this a clue deliberately fabricated by Meng Di for her husband Zhao Xi’s consideration?”

At this moment, it was Su Qin's turn to ponder. He really wanted to catch the two Lin Hu people and ask which person they colluded with was Zhao State. However, by such a coincidence, the two Lin Hu people actually left the Peach Garden, and as they said, they walked completely.

Su Qin invited Meng Di to Taohua Garden to eliminate Zhao Xi's suspicion, but unexpectedly he fell into something even more confusing. He bit his lips tightly, frowned, and couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing Su Qin's nervous and uncomfortable expression, Meng Di knew that he might not believe what she said. Meng Di was determined to persuade Su Qin again.

She said: "Zhao Xi is just stubborn and can't tell the right and wrong for a while. However, what benefits can he get from colluding with the Linhu tribe to make trouble? He is still just a senior doctor. However, if he does this, the risks he takes are extremely great. Once clues appear, it will be a serious crime to destroy the nine clans!"

Su Qin listened quietly and said without saying anything. Meng Di continued: "However, for those who urged him behind his back, it is not a single point of interest. In the smallest, it creates chaos in Zhao State, destroys the Union General Assembly, and drives away your Ji Zi. In the bigest, it can cooperate with the Linhu people inside and outside, and plan to usurp the rebellion and change the world."

After hearing this, Su Qin asked suspiciously: "Is it that serious? I think Zhao Hou's rule is still quite stable. Even if his brothers have always been thinking about the throne, they are not so confused that they overthrew their elder brother's throne. This risk is too great and they can't afford it."

Seeing that Su Qin refused to believe it, Meng Di could only helplessly. She sighed and said, "In this political arena, there will be peace, and she will not live for a long time. There will be more right and wrong. Who can get a good ending in her whole body? I, a woman, didn't want to be involved in political affairs, but you were dragged in again. Who is this to provoke whom."

Su Qin replied: "I'm not not believing in you, but this matter is extraordinary. Without evidence, we cannot suspicion and kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Meng Di said again: "That's all I can explain to Prime Minister Su. Since I married into Zhao Xi's mansion, I have been determined to be a wife who cared for housework and no longer care about the right and wrong outside. I will say goodbye and go back to the mansion. Prime Minister Su, please check it carefully."

When Su Qin heard Meng Di call him "Prime Minister" again, she realized that she had become apart because she didn't believe her words. Su Qin was upset, but this matter was so important that he did not dare to make Meng Di happy, so he decided to draw a conclusion.

After Meng Di finished saying goodbye, she stood up, bowed her body and bowed her head, and then walked out of the house with a small step. Su Qin followed the general and ordered Chen Dan to help Meng Di onto the carriage and send it back to Zhao Xi's mansion.

After seeing Meng Di off, Su Qin immediately arranged two teams of people, one team led by Zhou Shao, observed around Zhao Xi's mansion to see if there were any suspicious figures. The other team led by young general Qu Xin, went to the vicinity of Zong Zheng Zhao Rong's mansion to monitor and ordered them to report to themselves immediately if there were any doubts worth noting.

Since the young general Qu Xin escaped from Chen Zhen's prison car last time, he has never returned to Chu. Not long after the battle in Mianchi, he found out that the political arena in Chu had changed. Old Wang Xiong Shang let go, and the prince Mi Huai ascended the throne, inherited the king's surname "Xiong", and changed his name to Xiong Huai. Moreover, his father Qu Jian was at the sight of that joint, and was attacked by a hidden arrow on the way to court, and died of serious injuries.

Qu Xin certainly suspected that the instructor who secretly casted the cold arrow was Prince Mi Huai, but there was no clear evidence. He originally said goodbye to Su Qin and wanted to go back to Chu to investigate the real cause of his father's death, but Su Qin tried his best to persuade him. Because if Qu Xin returned to his country rashly, he was discovered by the new Chu King Xiong Huai, he would not be imprisoned for defection.

Out of sympathy with the experience of Qu Jian and Qu Xin and his son, Su Qin could not bear to see their father and son die tragically in Chu State at the same time, so he tried his best to stop Qu Xin, allowing him to escape the limelight and find another suitable opportunity to return home.

In this way, Qu Xin followed Su Qin and stayed in the Hezong Army. Su Qin often brought him by his side. Although the two were more than teenagers apart, Su Qin still treated Qu Xin with his younger brother's affection.

Zhou Shao and Qu Xin received the order, and each of them brought more than 200 soldiers, wearing plain clothes, and laid off posts around Zhao Xi and Zhao Rong's mansions, monitoring them day and night.

In the next three days, Zhao Xi and Zhao Rong's mansion were silent at the same time, without any abnormal behavior. Even the guests who came to visit were only a handful of people. Two relatives and friends, where were there any suspicious visitors?

Su Qin was puzzled and felt that this situation was very abnormal. At this time, there were less than ten days left before the Double Ninth Festival of the alliance. Envoys from the Eastern vassal states had arrived in Handan and came here to discuss the details of the alliance. Su Qin could not help but receive them and socialize with them.

While he was busy with the alliance, he was concerned about the possible wars on the border of Zhao State. He kept thinking in his heart: "Don't wait until the emergency situation two days before the alliance, if Zhao State is exhausted, the alliance will be completely ruined."

However, Su Qin could not hold a war to fight against the Linhu people in advance. If Wuming was found, he would in vain to cause trouble for Zhao State. How could Zhao Hou agree?

Even if it is to arrange heavy troops to defend the border between the Linhu tribe and Zhao State in advance, it is difficult to do so, because the Linhu tribe is located on the grassland and has a long border with Zhao State. Where can Zhao State have so many troops to garrison?

Just when Su Qin was uneasy, his old friend, Chen Xu, the prime minister of Wei, took the lead in reaching Handan City. Su Qin was particularly moved when he heard the news of Chen Xu's arrival. He was the first ruling minister of the princes to arrive in Zhao State and participate in the alliance of the Union and brought a good start to other countries.
