"Did you rest well last night? "Seeing that your face is a lot redder, it seems that you've recovered quite well." Zhao Qingfeng had just changed his medicine when Xiao Qing walked in with her big belly puffed out.

When he saw her come in, he got up from the bed and went to the table. "You're here?"

"Are you used to living here?" Xiao Qing then casually sat in front of him. By the way, she gave Riko a look and the latter nodded and left.

Zhao Qingfeng wanted to pour her a cup of tea, but he suddenly remembered that she was pregnant and couldn't drink tea, so he gave up. "If there's anything you want to ask, just say it. I will definitely ask."

Xiao Qingran smirked as she poured a cup of tea from the teapot and pushed it over. "How did you manage to cross the border and arrive here?"

Zhao Qingfeng's body stiffened. His fingers, which were holding the teacup, involuntarily trembled. He forced a smile and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

"You don't understand?" Xiao Qing Ran frowned, her gaze purposefully sweeping through his clothes: "Although your clothes are the clothes of a summoner, this is too deliberate, my side can already be considered outside of the defense line, before I came here, most of the people here were unable to eat and wear comfortably, not to mention outwards, they wouldn't dress like you, they don't need you to dress like this, the most important thing is that your accessories are a little out of place. I believe that you have already tried your best to imitate the Grand Summoner, but unfortunately, there are some things within your bones that you cannot imitate. "

Zhao Qingfeng tightly pursed his lips into a line and held the teacup in his hand without saying a word.

"Actually, no matter how good your disguise is, the people chasing after you won't care about these details. Yesterday, when I saw you all, I always felt that there was something very familiar about it, and now that I think about it, that day, the Jin Nation came to use this kind of disguise. Are you from the Jin Nation?"

However, after a while, he suddenly laughed and shook his head. He did not hide anything as he admitted, "You are very smart. You actually guessed it with just this."

Forget it, it's her territory now. Even if I deny it, it would be useless, not to mention … He didn't think that the person in front of him wanted to do anything to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be wasting his breath on him right now.

"Of course not." Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows, "Actually, I was only suspecting it from the beginning. However, since this morning, Ri-er came to tell me about the situation of the Jin Nation, I am even more certain of this."

"Since you sent someone to investigate, you must already know my true identity, right?" Zhao Qingfeng was slightly seated, in the posture of an official conversation with someone.

Xiao Qingyi knew that he was wary of her, and this was unavoidable. "The empress will be the first, and Third Prince Zhao Qingfeng will be the first. A few months ago, Zhao Jin was still in the middle of the summoning ceremony, and news was sent to the old emperor of the Jin Kingdom that someone was sick. Two months after he returned, trouble broke out in the palace, and I told Li'er to go investigate, but she did not receive much information.

Zhao Qingfeng nodded, "That's right. The person they're looking for is me."

He sneered with bitterness in his eyes, "I don't think you've heard the details in such a short period of time. Since you've saved me, I naturally have to repay your kindness. I can tell you whatever you want to know."

Xiao Qing Qing nodded.

"Esteemed Empress Rong has been pampering the harem ever since she infiltrated the palace. Although mufei is the empress, she has a weak personality and doesn't want to get into conflict with others, my health has never been as good as Zhao Jin's ever since I was a child. My relationship with his mufei has always been very bad, and for the past two years, my father's health hasn't been very good.

A few months ago, Zhao Jin sent out an envoy to seek a better marriage with you two. Due to my bad health over the past few years, I did not participate in the affairs of the imperial court, until two years ago when I suddenly realized that I had been poisoned by a slow poison. Following the vines, I found out that it was indeed the two of them.

A hint of coldness flashed through Xiao Qing Ran's eyes.

Su Qianxing and her son were in the midst of a ruckus, while Lan Rong was in the midst of a fox-like calamity in the Jin nation. Even her methods were extremely similar, and it was not as if they were from a different family.

"Later on, when I came across royal father's body, I also called in Concubine Rong into the palace before sending people to investigate in private. As expected, I found out that she did it on my royal father, but I don't have any position in his heart, so even if I told him about it, he would definitely not believe me, and at that time, he might even beat me up."

"Thus, I began to accumulate evidence. Some of the ministers in the court who had good relations with me had been helping me secretly until three months ago, when I found out that the mother and son had colluded with you to summon the crown prince, so …"

"So that woman attacked your father so heavily?" Xiao Qing suddenly raised her eyebrows and answered.

Zhao Qingfeng nodded, "After Zhao Jin returned, she blocked off the news and casually charged me with a crime. I escaped in the middle of the night, but who knew that I would be chased down the cliff and fall into the water. When I woke up again, I was already in the state of summoning."

Xiao Qing Ran frowned slightly, believing his words after pondering for a moment.

There were indeed many mountain peaks blocking the border between the two countries. Those places were mostly cliffs with odd shapes and strange rocks, which were very difficult to traverse. Even the soldiers guarding the border rarely stopped there, so it was not impossible for him to escape the sight of the soldiers at the border.

"The person sent to assassinate you hasn't returned for a long time. I think that man will find out very soon that you're not dead. What are you going to do then?" Xiao Qing Ran's eyes flashed, "It will take a long distance to get from the Jin Nation to here. I believe half a month should be enough for you to recuperate from your injuries. Do you want to stay here for a while?"

Zhao Qingfeng swept a glance over his shoulder. "With my current state, I definitely won't be able to hold off the pursuers. If wangfei is willing to lend me a helping hand, I'll naturally be forever grateful."

"Then it's a deal, you can rest in peace in my house to recuperate. We'll discuss this further." After Xiao Qing Qing finished speaking, she stood up: "Alright, I've asked all the questions I need to ask. Have a good rest, I'll come again another day to disturb you. "In the near future, Liu Suifeng will come to take care of your injuries. As for the rest, if you have any other needs, you can tell them to your servant."

Her tone was flat and gentle, as if she was greeting an old friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhao Qingfeng politely stood up as well. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

Xiao Qing Ran nodded her head and turned around to leave. After watching her leave, the latter's gaze gradually turned dark. She reached out to her chest and tightly grabbed onto the hem of her clothes, as if she was holding something extremely important.

Xiao Qing Qing walked out of the room and headed back. Li Er followed beside her: "Miss, do you really believe him? Riko had heard it clearly at the door just now. That man was clearly hiding something. "

Yesterday, she could tell that this man wasn't very skilled. He wouldn't be able to escape from here if Zhao Jin sent people to kill him, not to mention how the city was sealed off from outside. How did he escape from the palace?

"He is not lying. Why should I not believe him?" Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows and turned around to head to the direction of the garden.

Riko curled her lips in contemplation. "But I keep having the feeling that something isn't right."

"Ho … He's not a fool. If he doesn't tell the truth, he won't be able to. Since he wants to save his life, naturally, he won't tell us the truth." Xiao Qing cast a meaningful glance at Li Er, "Taking ten thousand steps back, if he has no power or influence, then why did Zhao Jin kill him so quickly?"

"Miss, are you saying that he has something in his hand that forced Zhao Jin to kill him?"

"I think that's the only possibility. And I think it has something to do with the throne. Otherwise, if Zhao Jin took over the palace now, she could easily become king." Xiao Qing frowned as she tried to guess what that thing was.

Riko was also lost in thought as well. "Should we inform Your Highness of this matter?"

Xiao Qing Ran was deep in her thoughts, but when she suddenly heard the man's name, she immediately scolded: "Does he even need me to tell him such a small thing? "I don't care!"

That son of a b * tch Su Qianhan, he actually didn't go back to his room to sleep after chasing him out last night. Fine then, since he had the guts, he wouldn't need to sleep on his own bed anymore!

Seeing that her master's anger had not yet subsided, Riko could only change the topic, "Miss must have been tired from walking for such a long time. Miss's hammock had a new set up in the garden. It's not far from here. "

Xiao Qing thought that since she had nothing to do at home anyway, she nodded in agreement. The two of them went around the flower bed and found a lot of things to relieve her boredom. Other than the hammock and the swing, there was also a stone table and a simple small pavilion, facing the direction of the ornamental lake.

"Alright, the wind is getting better and better at handling matters." He didn't say anything about this, but he did it meticulously.

Riko swallowed her breath and whispered, "How could a gust of wind have so many thoughts? Didn't the prince give the order to do so?"

Xiao Qing then sat on the swing with her hands supporting her stomach. She swung her legs up and raised her eyebrows. "What did you say?"

"Nothing." Riko walked around her and stood beside her. She reached out her hand to grab the rope on the swing. "That's right, Miss. Housekeeper Zhou came over this morning to say when Miss would like to invite you over there."

Xiao Qing raised her brows, "What are you doing?"

"It seems to be because of those maidservants." Riko helped push the swing, "Miss, if you are lazy and don't want to meddle in the affairs of the family, those people will think you're easy to bully. I can't tolerate that any longer and directly cursed them back."

Xiao Qinglan let out a cold laugh, and let go of the swing to hold it up to her stomach: "That's right, if they have something to report, instead of coming over, they would let their master pass. They really have a bad hand."
