Chapter 5: Something that has changed in the dark
There was a jug of wine on the stone table beside him. A wine cup was placed on top of it. The other wine was knocked onto the ground, scattering the wine everywhere.
When he had just met Xiao Xiyu, Xiao Qingyi could naturally guess what that woman had put in Su Qianhan's wine. When she thought about it, she truly felt that she had been too nosy before.
Although Su Qianhan was no longer the crown prince, he still had a lot of women with these thoughts in his mind.
Wasn't it just that they wanted to use another clever method?
Using such a stupid method to clearly harm oneself and others.
Su Qianhan already knew that she was at the corridor. He should be saying that he was just putting on an act to test her. As for the results of the test, she had never thought about it.
The Frigid King had always been an activist, so he did as he was told.
"Wang... "Prince …" Zhou Xiao was half-kneeling on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes.
In reality, she didn't do anything. Just as she came over to pour the wine, the man before her threw a glass of wine at her before she could say anything. Perhaps... Had the Prince anticipated that he would mess with the wine and purposely come out with him?
Zhou Xiao could not help but think this way.
Su Qian Han stretched out his hand and formed a palm. His hand seemed to be gathering Qi.
Xiao Qing initially didn't want to make a move, but seeing his actions, her eyes flashed as she used one hand to press down on the pillar and stepped over it.
"Your Highness, show mercy!"
Su Qian Han's wrist was blocked by her, and a cold light glimmered in his eyes. He had expected her to come out, but his tone was filled with anger. "It's you again?"
Xiao Qingran felt helpless in her heart, indicating that she did not want to 'do' this again. With a normal look on her face, she said: "What is Your Highness trying to do? To a woman? "
He sure is capable. He clearly sent his men down in his previous life, but now he's actually going to do it himself?
Not everyone was as rough and thick as her. Even a woman might not be able to withstand a palm from this man.
Su Qian Han didn't tell her that he really didn't want to kill her, and of course, he never explained anything. Instead, he shifted the topic to Xiao Qing Ran, "You are the first one who dared to obstruct This King."
It had to be said that this woman was quite bold.
Whatever her real purpose was, what she had done now was beyond his imagination.
Xiao Qingyi knitted her eyebrows, not wanting to say that she didn't really want to bother with him if it was possible: "My prince, I should have already said that right? You will make your own... "
"What does it have to do with you?" Su Qianhan obviously didn't want to hear about her book bag, and her words were cut off in a domineering manner.
The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched as all the advice that was' for your own good 'vanished into nothingness at this moment.
Very good, this question was very powerful.
As things stood, it was true that whatever he did was none of his business.
Su Qianhan said in a cold voice, "Scram."
Xiao Qing Qing was actually not a patient person. This could be seen from how she was afraid of trouble. She had had enough after a few rounds with this man. She could not help but be a bit angry.
Su Qian Han, is this enough? Why don't you know how to speak nonsense? Who said it had nothing to do with me! " Xiao Qingran gritted her teeth as her tone rose, "This is the crown prince's residence. I am Su Qianxing's fiancee, and I have the right to protect his dignity. It is no good if you start a massacre at his banquet!"
Su Qianhan was stunned and frowned at her.
Xiao Qingran glared at the man opposite her, gritting her teeth: "Didn't you ask me to give you an explanation? That should be enough explanation! "
This was the crown prince's residence, and now was the crown prince's banquet. She was the crown prince's fiancee, and everything she did was to protect his reputation.
Enough, this explanation was enough.
Su Qian Han looked at her and suddenly laughed coldly, throwing out two words, "Very good."
Xiao Qing couldn't figure out the temperament of the man, and frowned as she quickly turned to look at the woman behind her: "What are you waiting for? Are you still not leaving?! "
Zhou Xiao had been scared stiff, but hearing her words, he quickly got up and ran towards the hallway.
Xiao Qing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she had left safely.
"How are you going to repay me for disturbing This King's business?!" Su Qianhan's voice was as cold as ever.
Xiao Qing Ran glanced at him but didn't rush to escape like the previous two times. Instead, she turned around and sat on the stone bench under the tree: "I won't return to the main hall for a quarter of an hour."
Su Qian Han's gaze darkened. He had been fighting with her for so many years, but he already knew that she was smart. He just didn't know why he had a strange feeling. It was as though this woman could predict his future.
Actually, Xiao Qing Qing was not a prophet, she had just experienced it once.
At this banquet, Su Qianxing would experience an assassination attempt and the mastermind would be the man in front of him. However, his goal was not Su Qianxing but the hidden book in his study.
This book contained the background experiences of all the civil and military ministers in the court, as well as their private transactions or some unspeakable secrets.
In her previous life, she did not leave the banquet earlier than this one. Instead, she foolishly blocked a sword attack for Su Qianxing at that banquet and fell for this man's trap.
Now that he thought about it, he felt that he had really been ridiculous back then.
"Your Highness, how about we make a deal?" She raised her head and looked at that person with sparkling eyes as clear as her own: "I know you don't trust me right now, but this deal will not harm you. I hope you can listen to me seriously."
Su Qian Han's back was to the light, and the bottom of his eyes were dark, he could not see what was going on in his mind. After a while, he muttered to himself, "Speak."
"No matter what Your Highness wants to do, I will not interfere, and I will not intentionally disrupt the situation. But relative to that, what I want to do is my own right. I hope that Your Highness will not interfere, and even more so, do not inquire."
In two days, a major event would occur in the general's manor. By then, both sides would be in a great mess, and he definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.
At the very least, this man would ask him a few less questions, making it a bit easier for him.
When Xiao Qingran thought of this, she felt even more troubled. She even spoke with a bitter tone: "Prince, you were just worried that I would disrupt your plans. Now that I have already made clear that I won't interfere, you should let your guard down a little, right?"
She pursed her lips and spread her hands, somewhat helpless. "Even if you are expressing my sincerity this time, even if Your Highness cannot completely trust me, at the very least, please don't continue to make things difficult for me."
Su Qian Han frowned as he stared at her.
The dim light shone on their faces, and the atmosphere around them seemed to have changed.
There seemed to be voices shouting and quarreling over at the party.
Both of them knew what was happening over there, but they tacitly ignored it.
Just as Xiao Qing Ran thought that this man would happily give her an answer, he suddenly turned around and left.
Gone? Just like that, there wasn't even a twist?
"…"
Xiao Qingran blinked and stood still. The corner of her eyes twitched as she looked at the man's back. She clenched her teeth and said: "Bastard Su Qianhan, I really do owe you in my previous life!"
Although he didn't get a response from someone, the show had to go on.
When Xiao Qing Ran returned to the main hall, the other side was already in chaos. However, she had seen such a scene before, and her heart was at ease.
"Qingyi, where did you go?" The moment she entered, Su Qian Xing hurried over nervously, "Did you know that it was dangerous here just now? Are you trying to scare me to death by running around like this?"
I'm afraid it will be more dangerous if I stay here.
Xiao Qingran did not say anything in her heart. Her gaze casually swept over Su Qianhan, who had unknowingly calmed down and returned to his seat. She sighed to herself and pursed her lips, "Previously, I felt a little bored and went out for a walk. Didn't I already get my underling to tell you?"
She looked around, as if she had only just noticed what was going on in the hall. "What's going on?"
Su Qian Xing's face was ugly to behold, "Just now, someone tried to assassinate him and messed up this banquet."
"Did you catch the assassin?"
Su Qian Xing shook his head as his gaze swept across the seated man, "But I can roughly guess who it is."
Xiao Qing Ran calculated the time and felt that they had almost completed their task. She then reminded him: "That's strange, Su Qian Han always has a purpose in doing things, why would he suddenly find someone to assassinate at your banquet? Even if he hated you to the extreme, he wouldn't retreat without harming you. Isn't that a loss?"
Su Qian Xing was stunned for a moment before his expression changed rapidly, "Crap!"
After exclaiming in shock, he did not even have the time to greet Xiao Qing Ran before he hurriedly rushed towards the study room.
Xiao Qing looked at the ruins of the hall as a cold light quickly flashed across her eyes.
Su Qian Xing, from now on, our game will officially begin.
The farce at the banquet seemed to have passed just like that. In order to prevent Su Qian Xing from suspecting her, Xiao Qing Qing had helped a lot after the incident. However, her participation was insignificant compared to her previous life.
He busied himself with planning for Su Qianxing's morning banquet.
In everyone's eyes, Xiao Qing was still the same woman who loved the crown prince. Just as in the past five years, no one knew that some things were slowly changing in the dark.
"Miss, the crown prince has been sick these past two days, aren't you going to take a look?" Rie stood beside the bed and handed a plate of dried fruits to the person on the bed.
Xiao Qing lay on the bed with a book in her hands as she flipped through it. "I'm not a doctor, and I'm not one of the imperial physicians. There's no use in going to see it right?"
"But …"
But when the crown prince was sick, didn't you worry about him more than anyone else?
Riko did not finish her sentence.
Xiao Qing knew what she was thinking about. She put a piece of dried fruit into her mouth and said, "He has a heart attack. I don't have any of his heart medicine here."
He had been slapped in the face during the morning banquet, and had even lost his black booklet. How could he not be in a hurry to get angry?
After a few days, he would be able to accept the title of Crown Prince. Once he was happy, there would be no problems.
Furthermore, it would be even better if the man was ill. She did not have to go through so much to deal with him.
