Chapter 115 Is it just a coincidence to return to the house?
Qin Rushuang left.
Qingzhi hurriedly followed.
Only Xie Xun, Qin Fanghao, and a few servants were left in the side courtyard.
Qin Fanghao had narrowly escaped death and was trembling with fear. She gently pulled Xie Xun's sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, listen to me..."
Xie Xun shifted his body without leaving any trace, "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after the princess has rested."
"Your Majesty..."
Qin Fanghao still wanted to pester her, but Qiu Ning signaled her not to be impulsive.
With reluctance in his eyes, Qin Fanghao let go of his hand holding Xie Xun's sleeve, but added: "Your Majesty, you must believe me."
Xie Xun could not deny it, so he asked people to surround the side courtyard again and left.
After Xie Xun left.
Qin Fang seemed to be frustrated and sat on the chair, breathing heavily.
"Miss Qiuning, have we passed this level today?"
"Was it? This is just the beginning."
"But hasn't the prince stopped pursuing it? And he didn't blame me." Qin Fanghao said quickly.
Qiu Ning showed a look of disgust at a place where Qin Fang couldn't see her.
This woman is really crazy. Even she, an outsider, can see that Xie Xun is focused on Qin Rushuang now and doesn't really care about Qin Fang.
Who gave her such confidence that Xie Xun would still like her?
But this is also something Qiu Ning feels confused about.
Father, like son.
She could see clearly from the sidelines that Xie Xun was clearly more in love with Qin Rushuang and didn't care much about Qin Fang's kindness. This was very different from everything Xie Xun had shown before.
Qiu Ning was not on duty in the inner courtyard and had no knowledge of Xie Xun's daily behavior or the way she got along with Qin Fanghao before. She always thought that Xie Xun doted on Qin Fanghao very much, but it seemed that was not the case now.
But then another doubt broke into Qiu Ning's mind.
If Xie Xun doesn't like Qin Fanghao, why does he tolerate everything?
Even if he knew that the woman today might have lied to him and was not pregnant at all, Xie Xun was too indulgent.
If this kind of indulgence were not due to love...
Qiu Ning looked at Qin Fanghao with a more searching look.
What else could be the reason?
Is there anything else she doesn't know?
"Miss Qiuning, what should we do next?"
"The prince will definitely investigate this matter later. No matter what, you just need to say that you are really pregnant. Don't say any more words, understand?"
Afraid that Qin Fanghao would make another mistake, Qiu Ning looked stern in his last words.
Qin Fanghao flinched: "I, I understand."
In the main courtyard.
After Qin Rushuang walked this section, her emotions gradually calmed down, but her face was still a little pale after being excited.
Qingzhi said worriedly: "Princess, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Qin Rushuang tried her best to smile, but it was uglier than crying.
"You go down first and leave me alone."
Although Qingzhi was worried about the princess, she still nodded and left.
She knew that the princess had always been proud, and now she might need to calm down alone.
After Qingzhi left, Qin Rushuang calmed down over a cup of tea and finally regained all her sanity.
Putting aside why Xie Xun came back suddenly, it is better to deal with Qin Fang now, and we can no longer use the method of pouring medicine.
No matter how much the emperor and the concubine loved her, they would never let her mess around with the emperor's heir. They would definitely use the first gentle method and wait for Qin Fang to show her pregnancy in May.
In this matter, anyway, she has lost the opportunity.
The first priority is to find out who is helping Qin Fanghao, and to find Xie Xun from the military camp.
Second, if the first method is to be used to verify Qin Fanghao's innocence, then in the next four to five months, Qin Fanghao must not be given the opportunity to get close to Xie Xun.
Qin Rushuang felt a little ridiculous. This matter went round and round, and in the end the choice returned to Xie Xun.
Yes, whether Qin Fanghao can survive in the end depends on whether Xie Xun gives her this chance.
If Xie Xun pities Qin Fanghao and sleeps with Qin Fanghao in the following days, then Qin Fanghao can escape unscathed.
If Xie Xun is willing to stand on his side...
How can it be.
Qin Rushuang shook her head mockingly.
What she has to do now is to prevent Xie Xun from favoring Qin Fanghao even if she risks her life.
"Bletilla striata."
"My subordinate is here."
"Go and find out for me why the prince suddenly returned home today."
"Also, go check Qiu Ning and see if he has met anyone in the past few days."
She still felt that Qiu Ning's identity was very suspicious.
It was impossible for her to help Qin Fang like this for no reason, and if it was just the two of them, they would definitely not have the power to suddenly invite Xie Xun back to the mansion from the busy military camp.
And until now, Qin Rushuang finally discovered something belatedly.
When I went to the remote hospital today, no one, including Qiu Ning, had left the remote hospital.
But Xie Xun came quickly. If no one tipped him off, there was only one possibility.
They had long expected that Xie Xun would return home suddenly.
So Qiuning must have known for a long time that the pharmacy where she got the medicine was Du's.
Qin Rushuang learned that Qiu Ning went to grab medicine by mistake. Even if she didn't go to the drug store that day, someone hiding in the dark would definitely find an excuse to discover this flaw.
Qin Rushuang gritted her teeth, she actually fell into someone else's trap!
But she underestimated her opponent!
If this speculation is reasonable, then Qiuning's identity is definitely not simple.
In the evening, Baiji brought back the news.
"How's it going? Why did the prince suddenly return to the house?"
Bai Ji's usually expressionless face showed some faint doubts.
"Princess, according to the investigation by my subordinates, the prince's return to the palace... seems to be an accident."
"How to say?"
"Today the prince is training his troops and horses, and he also has to assess the centurions, so Mr. Yu, the Minister of War, made an appointment with the prince in the afternoon to see the recent drills of the Imperial City Army."
"Master Yu's mansion, if you walk towards the military camp, you have to pass by our house. I heard that when Master Yu passed by the door of our house, he saw an old woman selling sour plum soup."
"On a whim, he thought about the hard work of the soldiers in training, so he bought a large vat of sour plum juice and brought it to the military camp, promising those who performed well would be rewarded."
Qin Rushuang nodded. There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing. Although a bowl of sour plum soup is not valuable, it represents the appreciation of the superiors and can indeed arouse the motivation of many soldiers to strive to get the first place. This method is very common and not uncommon.
"Then what?"
"Then the prince also drank a bowl, but I heard that one of the lieutenants said after finishing the drink, the sour plum soup is very good, sweet and sour, and some hawthorns are added in it, which makes the taste more unique."
"After hearing this, the prince left the soldiers and returned to the palace."
hawthorn……
Qin Rushuang whispered: "Hawthorn promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, appetizers and relieves heat, but pregnant women should not eat it."
A ridiculous idea suddenly came to Qin Rushuang's mind. She was very acidophilic a few days ago, and Xie Xun once advised her to eat less sour food.
Could it be that Xie Xun was worried that the servant accidentally bought this sour plum soup for her to drink because it contained hawthorn, and was he worried about her health?
Qin Rushuang immediately shook his head.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Not to mention that the probability of such a thing is very small. Even if she wanted to drink sour plum soup, how could she go to the gate of the palace to buy it.
This probability is really too small.
And even if Xie Xun is really worried that the sour plum soup with hawthorn will be bought into the house, he should not be worried about her, but worried about Qin Fang, right?
Qin Rushuang didn't want to believe that Xie Xun would care about her, so she asked, "What about others? Are there any other abnormalities?"
