"Silly child, why are you crying?" Zhou Qingrou reluctantly hugged her into her arms, but could not stop her tears.
Patting Hu Ling'er's back, Zhou Qingrou sighed and said, "Ling'er, so many things have happened recently, have you been wronged?"
Although Zhou Qingrou seldom went out in her mansion, she still heard the rumors outside.
When listening to the rumors that insulted Hu Ling'er, she and Mu Qihua wanted to rush to Prince Han's Mansion, but Hu Ling'er sent a message to them, telling them not to worry, she would find a way to solve it.
Sure enough, the matter was resolved that day, and the Queen Mother even personally issued an edict to clarify it for her.
I don’t know how Hu Ling’er gained the Queen Mother’s trust, but even after so many days, Zhou Qingrou still felt aggrieved for her.
"Mom, I'm fine." Hu Ling'er raised her head and showed a bright smile to Zhou Qingrou: "I came here today just to worry about you and dad. I also want to tell you that no matter what happens, I will be fine.
It will be handled properly, so you don’t have to worry anymore in the future.”
"Silly boy, you can't say that." After hearing what Hu Ling'er said, Zhou Qingrou nodded her forehead in disapproval, "You are my father and mother's baby. No matter what happens, you just have to remember that there is still something behind you.
There is a Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Although your father wants to keep a low profile, he will never interfere with his daughter's affairs."
"Mother..." Hu Ling'er frowned dissatisfied and wanted to say something.
But Zhou Qingrou pressed her hand and interrupted: "Okay, we will talk about these things later. Now I want to ask you something."
Seeing her say this, Hu Ling'er couldn't say anything else, so she could only nod her head and said: "Well, mother, you can tell me."
Caressing the back of Hu Ling'er's hand, Zhou Qingrou's face was full of pity, and then she cast her gaze on Hu Ling'er's belly: "This child is already two months old. In another month, he will show signs of showing signs of illness."
You're dead, haven't you told Prince Han the truth yet?"
Hu Ling'er was slightly startled, then stared and said, "Mom, you...how do you know the child is Xia Yihan's?"
Hu Ling'er had never told Zhou Qingrou that she had recognized Xia Yihan, but she had never mentioned the fact that the child was Xia Yihan.
"Haha..." Zhou Qingrou just smiled softly, "Although I am just a woman, you can still see through some things. There is obviously a story between you and Prince Na Han. Just when you received the gift
The moment the wedding decree passed out, my mother had already seen some clues."
Hu Ling'er had to admire Zhou Qingrou's eyesight. She had hidden this matter so deeply, but she had seen through it so easily.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
Since she had already guessed it, Hu Ling'er did not hide anything and said honestly: "Mom, Xia Yihan already knows that the child is his. And we know each other precisely because that time Xia Yihan was chased to Yin Qishan to save Qi Hongqing...
…”
Hu Ling'er briefly described the process of how the two met, and Zhou Qingrou sighed with emotion: "It's fate, this is the real fate."
Recalling that time again, Hu Ling'er's heart was full of mixed feelings, and it was only after what happened between the two last night...
Zhou Qingrou was very sensitive. Seeing the difference in Hu Ling'er's expression, she knew something might have happened between the two.
But she didn't ask directly, she just said as if it suddenly occurred to her: "By the way, why didn't Prince Han come with you today?"
Hu Ling'er's expression froze, and then she said as if unintentionally: "He has been very busy these days, so I didn't ask him to accompany me."
Although it is very likely that the news about the concubine will soon reach their ears, she can hide it for a while now. She really doesn't want them to worry too much.
Hu Ling'er's cold attitude confirmed Zhou Qingrou's suspicion, but she knew that Hu Ling'er had a strong personality. She didn't say anything because she didn't want them to worry, so she didn't say anything anymore.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Qingrou patted the back of Hu Ling'er's hand and said sincerely: "Ling'er, don't blame me for talking too much. It's not a bad thing for a woman to have a strong personality. But you must also remember that he is a man and a prince, and he has the characteristics of a man.
Pride also has the arrogance of a prince, so if you can endure some things, just endure them."
Zhou Qingrou's words were extremely euphemistic, but they reminded Hu Ling'er just right.
After hearing this, Hu Ling'er raised a slight smile on her lips, nodded and said, "Mom, I understand."
Zhou Qingrou understood this truth even if she didn't say it.
In fact, putting aside the matter of Sang Rong, Xia Yihan was indeed very kind to her after knowing that she was Hu Ling'er.
It was so good that any ancient woman would definitely be moved. She even thought about accepting him like this.
However, things happened one after another with Sang Rong, which made her more and more anxious and uneasy about him, which led to the current situation.
At this moment, Min Mo's voice sounded outside: "Miss, Mr. Jian is here."
Hu Ling'er calmed down and said, "Mom, I have to go out for something. I'll come back later. You have to prepare a delicious lunch for me."
Although she didn't know what she was going to do, Zhou Qingrou still said: "Okay, go and do your work, be careful."
Zhou Qingrou could also see Jian Xinan's feelings for Hu Ling'er, but...
Alas, she still won't get involved in the children's affairs. She believes that with Hu Ling'er's ability, she can handle it well.
Hu Ling'er left Zhou Qingrou's room and went straight to her former boudoir, where Jian Xinan was waiting.
After a while, the two of them changed their attire, quietly left through the back door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and went straight to the streets of Lingdu.
After turning a few corners and walking through a few empty alleys, Hu Ling'er and Jian Xinan stopped in front of an ordinary house.
Standing at the door, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, then each took something out of their arms and covered their faces.
Hu Ling'er is wearing a black gauze, while Jian Xinan is wearing a mask.
Raising her eyebrows, Hu Ling'er joked: "You are addicted to pretending to be a saint thief."
Jian Xinan smiled, but didn't say anything. She just opened the door and walked in.
After passing through a secluded courtyard, the two came to a closed door. This time it was Hu Ling'er who opened the door.
In the house, there are only simple items, a bed, a cabinet, and tables and chairs.
But there was a person lying on the bed at the moment. That person was none other than Qi Muqing who they brought out from the beggar's den.
Qi Muqing was clearly awake on the bed, but could not move. Only his eyes were moving rapidly. In fact, he knew who was coming without even looking.
Hu Ling'er and Jian Xinan walked to his bedside and found it funny seeing how he couldn't move or speak.
Qi Muqing's face had been washed clean, revealing a fairly handsome face. His clothes had also been changed into new ones, and he looked much more pleasing to the eye.
"Ahem..." Hu Ling'er cleared her throat, and then said: "Who told you not to cooperate with our treatment? We can only treat you like this."
Qi Muqing is really an extremely uncooperative patient.
According to Hu Ling'er's thinking, since he wanted revenge so eagerly, he should really hope that he could survive.
But this man was very strange. He kept resisting them to heal his wounds, as if he wanted to die. So in desperation, Jian Xinan could only seal his acupoints, and by the way, also sealed his mute acupoints.
Another point is that Xia Yihan once said that Qi Muqing can perform hypnosis. Although he may not be able to perform it now that he is seriously injured, Hu Linger feels that it is better to be careful. After all, this kind of thing is impossible to prevent.
Hu Ling'er winked at Jian Xinan, and Jian Xinan immediately understood, and then tapped Qi Muqing's neck.
As soon as he untied the mute point, Qi Muqing said in a weak and hoarse voice: "Who are you?"
That day, he received a slap and a whip from Xia Yihan and jumped into the river to escape. However, he could only hide in a beggar's den because of his serious injuries.
He had been injured by Xia Yihan before, but this time he was injured more seriously. He could only blame himself for the failure because he was not prepared for Xia Yihan's sudden appearance.
Just when he was covered in ice and thought he might not be able to hold on any longer, these two people appeared.
Snow fox and holy thief?
He had never heard of Snow Fox, but that holy thief...
He refused to let them save him, just because he was afraid that they would be harmful to him. But now it seems that they really want to save him. After all, his injuries have improved a lot and his life is no longer in danger.
Hu Ling'er didn't know what Qi Muqing was thinking. She just raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you hear that that day? My name is Xue Fox, and he is a holy thief."
"Holy thief?" Qi Muqing smiled coldly, and then cast his eyes on Jian Xinan, who was wearing a mask. After looking up and down for a while, he smiled and said: "It does feel a little similar, but you are definitely not a holy thief.
steal."
The thin lips under the mask curled up slightly, and Jian Xinan said interestingly: "How do you say this?"
The smile on Qi Muqing's face turned bitter, and then filled with hatred. He gritted his teeth and said, "Because he was the one who injured me."
