Su Qianhan pursed his lips. He seemed to be threatening but in reality, his tone carried a hint of anger. "Also, you can't say 'This King has no stance'."

Xiao Qingran sighed and rubbed her temples helplessly. She kept feeling like she was coaxing a child: "Didn't I already say I know? "You're not done yet."

"No, This King needs to confirm that these two lines are of a different nature."

Su Qian Han was serious.

Xiao Qing suddenly felt that it was funny, "What's different about that?"

"The nature is different."

Su Qianhan was still as serious as before. "The latter is even worse."

Xiao Qinggran: "…"

Are you kidding me?

This proved that there was indeed a problem with their conversation. Xiao Qing Qing didn't understand the subtle differences in his words, but she was too lazy to beat around the bush and naturally jumped to the main topic: "How are you going to settle this matter?"

"There's no need to deal with it."

Su Qianhan had regained the cold arrogance that a cold king should have as he spoke, causing Xiao Qing Qing to suddenly have the attitude of having two personalities. "This duke's affairs are not for others to speak of. If anyone has any objections, let him speak in front of this duke."

Xiao Qing Ran sighed to herself as she shook her head helplessly.

Even if he didn't say so, he would have guessed it. This man never cared about such things, where would he really be able to think of a solution?

However, it didn't matter. This matter would be resolved sooner or later. Along with his previous bad reputation, she would eventually find a good opportunity to deal with it.

"One more thing, I met Han Bing when I went to Han Siming's wedding ceremony today."

Xiao Qingran spoke very slowly. Looking at the man's reaction, she saw the light in his eyes before she said in a deep voice: "You knew about it from the beginning, didn't you?"

He was the one who took off Zhao Chen's clothes that day, and he was the one who understood the palm strike on his chest the best. No wonder he reminded himself to be careful of Su Qianxing several times.

Su Qian Han knew that he couldn't hide it from her, but he didn't expect her to know so quickly, "That kind of palm power isn't something that can be concealed for a long time. It seems like he's plotting something, and after you know it, he wants to go deeper into the enemy camp … If we were to truly guess, that man's martial arts and inner force is not inferior to mine, then you will definitely suffer a loss if you face him head on. "

"So you chose to hide it?"

Xiao Qing Ran sighed, "Su Qian Han, I am not an idiot. You should have told me about such a huge matter earlier, but have you not thought that if I were to face him head on without knowing it, wouldn't that be even more troublesome? Just tell me in advance that I have something to prepare. "

Su Qian Han was stunned, that was something he did not expect.

"Let's not talk about this earlier. It's all in the past now. We need to think about what's coming next."

Xiao Qinglan lowered her eyes: "You and His Majesty had an argument just now, so you don't have to do anything during this period. Leave the rest to me."

After defending for such a long time, it was time for her to counterattack.

Su Qian Han looked at that pair of clear eyes and suddenly felt his heart being filled with something. He smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

There had been some bad news in the capital recently, saying that Zhao Chen's death was an inside story and that someone had purposely framed the Duke of Han. As for the culprit, it wasn't Su Qianhan who had been the one to suffer the most?

This news spread like wildfire and even spread to the palace. Lan Ying became very angry and even took care of a few chatterboxes at the palace. The others naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

However, even though the people from the palace could manage it, she couldn't stop these idle mouths of people in the capital, could she?

After everything that had happened, her rash actions had caused others to fall back on her words.

And the thing that brought these things to a climax was a court meeting.

Because that day Xiao Qing Qing had told Su Qian Han to hand over the rest of the matters to her, he really let go of everything without a care.

Han Bing Han was a meticulous person, and the case that fell into his hands was never vague. Naturally, it was the same this time, but why was it that although Su Qianhan was acquitted, the culprit was still unable to catch him.

For this case, he had taken the risk. Not only had he reported the recent gossip in the capital to Sang He, but he had also caused Su Qian Xing's anger by saying something unpleasant on the streets. Thus, he had taken this opportunity to openly attack Su Qian Xing.

When people encountered danger, they would have a subconscious reaction. That day at the king's official banquet, Su Qianxing purposely kept his reputation intact, which was why he pretended to be injured. This time, it was his instinct that had harmed him.

The fact that the Crown Prince knew martial arts was spread out in less than half a day. Although this was not enough evidence, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell what was going on.

However, due to the face of the royal family, Sesame Xie forcefully suppressed this matter.

This incident had caused such a ruckus that even Su Qianhan had not expected it. He was worried that Su Qianxing would be desperate to kill him, so he came over to the general's estate to warn Xiao Qingran to be careful.

"That's the message you sent from Han Bing, right?"

Although he did not send anyone to investigate this matter, he could guess based on his guess.

"Sir Han never thought about this case at all. He told me during the wedding ceremony that if there were any clues, I would inform him in time. As a servant girl, I naturally have the responsibility to help the court officials solve this case."

Xiao Qing Ran half lowered her head as she sat on the chair and drank tea, intentionally trying to sound official.

Su Qianhan frowned and took the teacup from her hand and put it on the table, "Do you know the consequences?"

"With Su Qian Xing's intelligence, he should have guessed that she was the one who did it, so she wasn't afraid..." "Of course."

She folded her hands on her knees and half-closed her eyes as she said: "There are some things that are destined from the start, what should be yours is yours. What should be yours will be yours, you can return it no matter where you run off to."

Su Qian Han frowned, not really understanding the meaning behind her words.

"I already knew about this a long time ago. Since I have already chosen this path, I will not regret it."

She laughed and shook her head, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Su Qianhan's eyes flashed. She always felt that she was hiding something from him, but because she didn't say it, it wasn't convenient for him to ask.

Before leaving, he had also instructed her to send some men to guard the general's manor in case something happened to her.

However, just as Xiao Qing Ran had said, there were some things that had to be returned sooner or later.

Every time a new rumor spread in the capital, it would be treated as a long discussion. This time, it was especially long. In just three days, Xiao Qing Qing had heard no less than eight versions of it from Li Er.

"This time, it's even more outrageous. There's actually someone who said that the current crown prince is not real, but is instead being impersonated."

Riko had always been serious about gossiping, and Xiao Qing Qing's imagination was boosted by it as well.

At this moment, she was sitting on the swing as she listened to Riko's recent inquiries. Her gaze gently landed on the surface of the lake, where a few yellowish leaves were floating. Unknowingly, summer was about to pass.

"Miss, Miss, are you listening to me?"

From the side, Riko's somewhat unhappy and spoiled voice could be heard.

Xiao Qing heaved a sigh. She loosened her arms around the rope swing. "I heard it. Didn't you say that you always feel like there's someone watching you when you're doing something recently?"

"That's right, I didn't have such an intense feeling before, especially in the past few days. The feeling's gotten stronger and stronger."

As Riko spoke, she shivered as she touched her other arm, guessing, "Could it be the Prince's men?"

"Right."

Xiao Qing Ran casually glanced at a certain darkness. "Su Qian Han previously said that he would release some people around the Duke's Mansion, just in case."

"That's great."

Riko let out a sigh of relief and lowered her hands, "Our people have all gone on missions recently, and the Flower Hall seems to be holding some big event. I'm still worried that there won't be anyone else to protect Miss. Now that Your Highness's people are watching me closely, I can rest at ease."

Xiao Qingran's eyes flashed but she did not reply. She only stood up and walked towards the small path: "I suddenly remember that I have something to do. Li Er, you wait for me at the manor, so I don't run around."

Riko did not notice the peculiar glint that flashed past her eyes. She nodded her head indifferently and said, "Alright, I understand. Then, miss, please eat tonight …"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tonight. You can settle this yourself."

When Xiao Qing Ran said that, she had already left the garden and disappeared.

Riko stood in her spot and rubbed her head in puzzlement, "You won't be able to come back? Could it be that Miss is going to the Flower Pavilion? "

Xiao Qing Qing didn't go to the Flower Pavilion. It should be said that she didn't know where she would be taken to in the end. After leaving the General's Estate, she felt that those people had followed her.

After walking around seven or eight alleys, she finally managed to get rid of them all. When she arrived at a dead end, she stopped and turned around to face the person who had suddenly appeared behind her. She said in a deep voice, "You should be tired after guarding here for so long, right? This is really hard for you guys. "

The two men in black glanced at each other, both seeing the astonishment in the other's eyes.

Although they had been outside the general's manor for the past two days, they had not made any substantial movements. Even the subordinate had not realized how the third miss had sensed them.

Xiao Qing knew that they were puzzled, but did not intend to give them an answer.

They would not have believed her if she had said that she had guessed it half a month ago.

"Third Miss, let's cut the crap. Our master has something he wants to ask you to come over. You'd better be sensible, we don't want to hurt you."

One of them threatened, reaching for the weapon at his waist.
