I am the champion of palace intrigue, and even the proud prince bows his head in submission.

Chapter 96 She must see it with her own eyes.



Chapter 96 She must see it with her own eyes.

"Mother, where are you going?"

Xie Jue tilted her fair face up, blinked her big eyes at her, and looked at her with a hint of water in her gaze.

He was so panicked that he almost cried.

His eyes were fixed on Qin Jiuwei without blinking.

His mother was angry; his mother was going to leave home; his mother didn't want him anymore...

Xie Jue tightened his grip on Qin Jiuwei's arms, looking at her pitifully.

He was trying to awaken Qin Jiuwei's maternal love for him and to prevent her from abandoning him.

Qin Jiuwei was unaware of what had happened, and seeing Xie Jue like this, she was both amused and exasperated.

"Mother is going to have tea with the Princess." She also wants to catch her husband cheating on her.

"The Eldest Princess?" Xie Jue tilted his head slightly.

"It was that autumn banquet that day..." Qin Jiuwei paused after saying that. Xie Jue did not attend that autumn banquet.

She reached out and pinched Xie Jue's little face. "She's the Emperor's own sister, and your mother's new good friend."

It turns out she was going out to play with her best friend.

Xie Jue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He peeked out and looked behind Qin Jiuwei, only to find that she had only brought Song Mama and Xiao He with her.

No large or small bags of luggage...

Well, then the mother probably didn't run away from home.

Xie Jue felt relieved, loosened her grip on Qin Jiuwei, and moved her small body to the side.

Release.

Then he looked up at his face, revealing a sweet smile, "Then Mother, you must come back soon~"

Qin Jiuwei loved seeing Xie Jue smile; he looked like a little lucky charm.

She patted Xie Jue's little head and nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Mother will be back soon."

Wait until she finishes dealing with that heartless man!

Qin Jiuwei left with Granny Song and Xiao He.

Watching her departing figure, Xie Jue's smiling face instantly turned cold.

He stomped his foot angrily. It was all his father's fault! He had almost been scared to death just now!

At this moment, Xie Yanli, who was far away in Wenyuan Pavilion, felt a chill run down his spine.

Why does he feel like someone is insulting him lately?

Xie Yanli narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Could it be the King of Qi?

He turned his gaze and coldly ordered, "Double the number of people monitoring the King of Qi."

Qin Jiuwei boarded the carriage to the teahouse.

As the carriage slowly swayed along, she recalled Xie Jue's appearance from earlier.

She looked so pitiful, as if she was about to abandon everything and leave.

And there was Xie Yanli's question last night...

Qin Jiuwei's gaze sharpened.

Xie Jue has been acting strangely lately, no, it's not just Xie Jue.

The eldest and second eldest are also acting a bit strange.

She reached out and gently pressed her temples.

Lately, she's been preoccupied with Yunzhi's affairs and has indeed neglected the children somewhat.

After I finish dealing with things today, I'll ask him about it properly when I get back tonight.

Teahouse.

Qin Jiuwei was led by a servant to a private room.

"Jiuwei! You're here!"

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Gao Yunzhi smiling brightly at her.

When Gao Yunzhi smiles, she has two shallow dimples on her cheeks, which are cute and charming.

Qin Jiuwei couldn't help but be influenced by her, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.

She sat down opposite Gao Yunzhi.

Gao Yunzhi reached out and poured Qin Jiuwei a cup of tea.

There were no rules or restrictions on their social status when the two interacted privately.

They hadn't discussed it beforehand; it just happened naturally after they met.

It was as if they were born to play together.

Qin Jiuwei accepted the tea offered by Gao Yunzhi and softly thanked her.

After saying that, he picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"Jiuwei, is raising a child very troublesome?" Gao Yunzhi suddenly asked.

She's never had a child before, and the one in her belly is being very well-behaved, not causing her much trouble. She wonders what will happen next.

Qin Jiu chuckled softly, "It was indeed not easy, but fortunately the children are all sensible and good kids, and they all got along well with me from the start."

Gao Yunzhi stroked her belly and smiled, saying, "I hope my child will be as sensible as your children."

At the autumn banquet that day, she met Xie Jing, who was truly a good boy.

Not only was she refined and polite, but she was also very intelligent and knew how to protect her mother.

I wish her child could be like Xie Jing.

Or, like Huaizhi, that would be good too.

Huai Zhi was handsome and treated her very well.

After the two finished a pot of flower tea, Granny Song came in.

She nodded to Qin Jiuwei without changing her expression; the prince consort had already arrived.

Qin Jiuwei understood what she meant, and she turned to look at Gao Yunzhi.

"We've been sitting here for a while now, why don't we go for a walk and clear our heads?"

She said softly, "I heard Physician Lin say yesterday that it's not good for pregnant women to sit for long periods of time. Going out for a walk will make the delivery smoother."

Gao Yunzhi readily agreed, her voice light and cheerful as she said, "Great! Let's go out for a stroll. We're getting so bored staying cooped up at home every day."

Looking at her bright and cheerful face, Qin Jiuwei couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She didn't want Yunzhi to experience these dirty things.

But she has to see it with her own eyes before she'll believe it...

Small courtyard.

Liu Niang was very surprised to see Chen Huaizhi. "Why are you here now?"

“That woman went out, so she’s no longer home watching over me. I can finally have some free time.”

As he spoke, Chen Huaizhi stepped forward and put his arm around Liu Niang's slender waist, then began to loosen the sash around her waist.

Liu Niang blushed and reached out to punch his chest.

"Why are you in such a hurry as soon as you arrive!"

Chen Huaizhi teased, "I'm not Liu Xiahui, how can I resist when a beauty is in my arms?"

"Besides, you know exactly what kind of life I lead every day."

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "I have absolutely no feelings for that stupid woman. Every time she gets close to me, I feel like throwing up."

"If it weren't for her status as the eldest princess, I wouldn't even give her a second glance!"

What Liu Niang loved to hear most was Chen Huaizhi speaking ill of the Eldest Princess.

The harsher Chen Huaizhi's insults were, the happier she became.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around Chen Huaizhi's neck, and Chen Huaizhi smiled slightly upon seeing this.

The two soon rolled onto the bed.

street corner.

"Young Master Jing, was that the young mistress just now?" Shu Rong couldn't help but ask.

Today, Wutong Academy was closed, so Young Master Jing took him out to buy some books. Unexpectedly, they ran into Young Madam.

Xie Jing turned his gaze and said, "It's Mother."

He also recognized that the person standing next to his mother was the eldest princess.

During the autumn banquet, he noticed that the two got along very well, presumably they had been strolling around together.

He handed the letter to Shurong, saying, "This is Mother's matter; let's go back to the manor."

But as soon as he stepped onto the carriage, he couldn't help but pause.

He recalled what Xie Jue had recently told them.

Could it be that Mother took the Princess to arrest Father's mistress?

Xie Jing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"We're not going back to the manor; we'll follow behind their carriage."

He wanted to find out who his father's mistress was.

the other side.

Qin Jiuwei and Gao Yunzhi's carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley.

The maid helped the two down, and Gao Yunzhi looked up at the low courtyard walls around her.

He couldn't help but ask, "Jiuwei, where is this? Why is this place so remote?"

This was her first time visiting such a narrow alley.

But it's really remote; I haven't seen many people even after walking for so long.

"I'm here to help you find someone," Qin Jiuwei said softly, but her voice carried an undercurrent of coldness.
