Xiao Qing raised her brows, "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to remind Miss that a man's love won't last his whole life. Moreover, you don't know how sincere he is towards you, and sooner or later feelings will be worn down. At Miss's age, I can understand that." Zhao Jin assumed a 'For You' pose, "But there are some things I still want you to know."

"Such as?"

"Miss is a smart person, you should know that the affairs of the court are complicated, some are not as simple as you think, Ling'er's identity is there, if the Duke of Han's marriage were to help you, would you know it?"

"Heh, I'm not sure, and I don't want to be clear about it." "I don't know what you guys are thinking, but I have nothing to do with any of this. It's still as you said, if there's any problem with Fourth Prince, you can bring it up with that man yourself. I don't care about your matters."

"But …" She paused for a moment, and her eyes revealed a hint of playfulness: "Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for the Fourth Prince to tell me this in front of His Highness? "It seems like you know a lot about the Fourth Prince's situation, like he knows everything about the Frigid King. He knows that the Fourth Prince has been plotting against you for a long time, just for the sake of the friendship between the two countries."

Zhao Jin's expression changed and she subconsciously asked, "What do you mean by that? Miss, please be careful when you speak! "

"Does Fourth Prince know to be cautious when speaking to outsiders? Didn't the fourth prince feel that what he just told me was a bit too much? I'm not familiar with the fourth prince, but my thoughts and thoughts don't seem to follow the fourth prince's thoughts, do they? But if the Fourth Prince wants me to go and do something, then can you at least put on a 'begging for help' attitude? "

Did this man think this was his hometown? He wasn't the servant girl in his residence, so why would he listen to her?

Zhao Jin frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'm doing this for your own good!"

"I don't need the fourth prince to do me any favors, not to mention …" Xiao Qing Ran paused for a moment as she toyed with the teacup in her hands, "I believe that the Princess and the Fourth Prince did not completely explain what happened back then. The real reason why Duke Han chased her out of the mansion was because she was trying to sow discord behind his back. It must be said that the Fourth Prince is related to the princess by blood, and this is exactly the same thing. "

"Xiao Qing Ran!" Zhao Jin couldn't help but say in a mocking tone, "Is this how you speak to this prince?"

Xiao Qing Ran smiled calmly. "What if not? What kind of attitude does Fourth Prince think I should take? "

Not only was this man trying to poach her, he was even trying to coerce her into doing so. It was already giving him face to be able to sit here peacefully. If the man were to hear what he said just now, it wouldn't be as simple as mocking him.

"You …"

"Don't be angry, Fourth Prince. Qingyi has this kind of personality. She doesn't have any ill intentions." Su Qian Xing interrupted him with a calm tone and a smile, "Fourth Prince is out for a good time today. Please don't let such a small matter ruin your mood."

Xiao Qingyan looked at her with interest but did not say anything.

Zhao Jin snorted coldly, "You are right, it is just that Ling'er has the best relationship with me since we were young. After all, she is my little sister, and I can't bear to see her being bullied. If Duke Han goes too far, I can only tell you this matter."

A mocking sneer flashed past Xiao Qing's eyes.

Was he using the emperor to suppress him?

"I don't think Lady Qing Ran wants to blow this matter up, right?" Zhao Jin suddenly changed the topic back to her, thinking she would be scared if she talked too much about it.

However, Xiao Qing Qing was not the kind of person who would be scared by a word or two from someone else: "If Fourth Prince feels that it's appropriate like this, he can directly do it. You don't have to tell me."

Zhao Jin choked and suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was not going to give up. His face changed a few times, then he sneered, "It seems that Fourth Miss is very confident in herself?"

Xiao Qingran swept a glance at him and asked knowingly: "Where did the Fourth Prince get this from?"

"You dare to speak to me like that, is it not because of Su Qianhan? Do you think you don't need to be afraid of anything with that man supporting you?"

Xiao Qingran's expression was indifferent as she did not reply.

Sometimes, she really did feel weird. Why did these people always put their actions on that man? It was as if she couldn't do anything without Su Qianhan by her side.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhao Jin thought she guessed right, and continued, "Still, it's better if Miss doesn't think too highly of herself. You have to know that Su Qianhan is not an omnipotent being, does he know that the young mistress is so arrogant outside? "

"This King obviously knows." Before Xiao Qing Ran could reply, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. The man stepped into the room, his bright eyes swept around the room and he said coldly: "However, what this duke does not know is what Qing Qing can do that even This King cannot help her out."

The arrival of Su Qianhan caused everyone in the room to be stunned.

Xiao Qinglan blinked: "Have you settled your matters?"

"Right." Su Qianhan nodded as his gaze swept across Su Qian Xing and landed on the Fourth Prince. "I don't know what Qing Qing did to make the Fourth Prince so angry, but no matter what she did, I will shoulder the burden for her. This king's woman can do whatever she wants."

His words were obviously a slap to Zhao Jin's face. His expression turned uglier, and he was at a loss as to what to say to ease the atmosphere. He unconsciously turned his gaze towards Su Qian Xing.

They had now broken off all relations with Su Qianxing, and even the peace they maintained on the surface was a sham.

Regardless of whether it was Xiao Qing Ran or the emperor, Su Qian Xing had already become the target of Su Qian Han's competition. Thus, the moment Su Qian Han entered the door, he targeted the past. Of course, with Su Qian Xing's personality, he naturally wouldn't say such childish words.

"Why is second royal brother here? Is he here to look for a lady?" He smiled and stood up, his tone seemingly casual as he started the battle: "I heard that royal father called second royal brother into the palace today to discuss the marriage alliance with the Jin Nation? I heard that the fourth prince also said that the princess was interested in the second imperial brother, so it seems that this marriage can definitely be arranged, and thus my royal brother is here to congratulate you in advance. "

Su Qianhan frowned. His attitude towards Su Qianxing was different from other people's. If he was more vigilant towards Zhao Jin, then he would have ten points towards this man, not for any other reason but because Xiao Qingran had once had a relationship with him. Even if it was impossible for the two of them to be together, but the things that happened between them were real and could not be erased by anyone.

"This King thanks you for worrying about me. However, you should still care more about yourself when you have time." Su Qian Han's face was extremely cold and dark. He turned his gaze to Xiao Qing Ran as he explained, "Father told me many things today, which is why I came here late. Have you eaten?"

Xiao Qing Ran smiled faintly. Her tone was calm, but her bad mood could not be seen. "I just ate a little. I was waiting for you to come over."

The way he treated the three of them displeased Zhao Jin, but it also made Su Qian Xing stare coldly at him. Previously, he had thought that Su Qian Han was just playing around, but later on he thought that he was wrong. This man might have really fallen in love with Xiao Qing Qing.

He had been fighting with Su Qianhan for such a long time, yet he had not been able to catch Su Qianhan's mistake. Even if he had been pulled off the throne, it had taken a lot of effort. Now, not only did Xiao Qingqing stand on his side, but even the Prime Minister's Estate had become the shield of this man.

Perhaps having a weakness and being a reverse scale was the key to his failure, but at times, this key point would make people strong, especially someone as passionate as Su Qianhan.

"The food here isn't as good as the food in the mansion. Let's go back today. If you like it, I'll have Sufeng bring you a few more dishes." Su Qian Han stretched out his hand towards her and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Qingran's gaze landed on the palm of his hand. The look in her eyes became much gentler. She nodded and stood up: "Okay."

Su Qian Xing looked at her as she walked around the table to hold the hand of the man. His eyes trembled, and he spoke without thinking, "Second royal brother knows that there are some things that you can't take on, and some things can't be taken away just because you said so. Sometimes, even if second brother can bear it, can you guarantee that the people around you will be the same? Do you know that time and tribulation can change a person? There is a term for it. "

Su Qianhan pulled her hand and was about to step out of the door when she heard Su Qianxing's words and her body froze. He frowned and subconsciously tightened his grip on her.

With his back facing Su Qian Xing, his domineering voice was tinged with an undetectable panic. "So what? This King only needs to eliminate all those who can prevent This King from achieving his goal."

"But what if the person in your heart is among those you want to exterminate?" Su Qian Xing's tone was cold as he said, "Not everything in this world can be cleared up."

Xiao Qing frowned as she felt that his body was giving off an extremely low pressure that negated him.

This man was truly …

When did he become so unsteady that Su Qian could make him take it seriously with just a few words? Was it because of him?

She narrowed her eyes and suddenly thought of how the two of them had been together for quite some time. It was as if she had never said anything to him seriously. Perhaps this was the reason why he was so worried about his future?

"Heh ~" Xiao Qingran suddenly laughed softly and said in a deep voice: "Is King Xing also affected by the Fourth Prince? Don't tell me that you don't know each other? "
