However, Lan Ruojing didn't let go and then said, "You have been in contact with Shuo Ling the most before, and it is impossible to know nothing about it."

"You... Let me go..." Qiao Shu grasped Lan Ruojing's hand and pushed hard.

Then, Lan Ruojing let her go and stood up, "Miss Qiao, you are a smart person, and I don't like someone who is clever but pretends to be a fool. I hope you can think clearly."

At this moment, Qiao Shu touched her neck, which was painful by Lan Ruojing just now.

After a while, Qiao Shu said, "Although I have been in and out of the mansion of Marquis Shuo frequently in the past few days, the people in the mansion have also taken precautions against me after the Woman Flower caught fire. I'm afraid..."

"It is your business. Five days later, I need to get the evidence. Otherwise, you will wait for being utterly discredited!" Before Qiao Shu finished speaking, Lan Ruojing interrupted her.

Hearing Lan Ruojing's words, Qiao Shu frowned slightly. And then, she got up from the bed and said, "Master Lan, five days... Will it be too short? How can I find the evidence in five days?"

"You are so smart. I believe you will have a way." Lan Ruojing showed a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth and said as he looked at Qiao Shu.

With that said, Lan Ruojing walked to the window. He opened the window and disappeared in the cold night.

Qiao Shu was left alone on the bed.

At this moment, a cold wind blew in along the window.

Qiao Shu just sat there just as if she didn't feel the cold.

What should she do? What should she do next?

If she told Lan Ruojing about Shuo Ling's affairs, it would be tantamount to her that she had harmed Shuo Ling. When Shuo Ling knew the fact, he wouldn't be with her.

But if she didn't tell Lan Ruojing, Lan Ruojing would make her story public. If the Emperor knew this, not only she but her father would be implicated.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shu couldn't help tears falling from her cheeks.

Now, she hated Yang Zijin even more. If it weren't for her appearance, there wouldn't be so many things. She wouldn't be threatened by Lan Ruojing and be caught in a dilemma!

Then, Qiao Shu grasped the corner of the bed tightly. Her eyes were filled with hatred.

At this time, Chushi Weiming was reading memorials of these days in the study.

Liu Yiyi would give birth in spring, and Imperial Concubine Xiao almost collaborated with all the officials.

As soon as the child was born, they would take the opportunity to pull Chushi Lanfu from the position of the Crown Prince.

After he finished reading the last page, Chushi Weiming stretched himself and stood up.

Seeing Chushi Weiming stand up, Li He arched his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to your room?"

"Go to see the Imperial Concubine." Chushi Weiming said, and he walked outside.

After Chushi Weiming walked to the place where Liu Yiyi lived, he slowed down.

Zi, Liu Yiyi's servant girl, was standing at the door. When she saw Chushi Weiming, she was about to salute.

At this time, Chushi Weiming put his hand to his mouth and signaled her not to speak.

Then, Zi nodded.

At this time, Chushi Weiming walked to Zi, "Is the Imperial Concubine sleeping?"

"Your Majesty, the little prince has been making noises in the belly of the Imperial Concubine. And now, the little prince is probably tired, and the Imperial Concubine then lies down on the bed to rest." Zi bowed and said softly.

Chushi Weiming nodded, then walked to the door, and looked inside through the crack of the door.

Upon seeing this, Zi walked over and whispered, "Your Majesty, should I wake up the Imperial Concubine?"

"No, I just come to take a look. Don't disturb her to rest." After Chushi Weiming heard this, he waved his hand.

After speaking, he cautiously pushed the door open and then walked gently into the room.

When he walked to the bed, he saw Liu Yiyi who was already asleep. He raised his brows slightly.

For some reason, when he saw Liu Yiyi, he would think of Yang Zijin. He admitted that he wanted to take advantage of Yang Zijin at first.

He didn't know when he began to fall in love with Yang Zijin.

It was just that she didn't want to marry him.

Unexpectedly, she later married Shuo Ling, who was his most hated person.

If it hadn't been for the accident at the banquet, it would have been Yang Zijin who was lying on the bed now.

But it didn't matter, when he was on the throne, he must get Yang Zijin.

When he was thinking about this, Liu Yiyi turned over slightly at this time, and the quilt on her body was slipped.

Upon seeing this, Chushi Weiming bent down, pulled the quilt up, and covered for Liu Yiyi.

Then, Chushi Weiming looked at Liu Yiyi's bulging belly under the quilt. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After the child was born, it would be the beginning of his great cause!

Unconsciously, Chushi Weiming stretched out his hand and stroked it lightly.

After a while, he turned and left.

After the door was closed, Liu Yiyi opened her eyes and looked at Chushi Weiming's back with a smile on her face.

When Chushi Weiming was talking to Zi at the door, she woke up and heard their conversation. Now, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but smile.

For a long time, she thought that if it weren't for the accident that happened at the banquet, she wouldn't meet Chushi Weiming. And now, if it weren't for her pregnancy, she wouldn't become the Imperial Concubine today.

Although Chushi Weiming also had been concerned about her, she had always thought it was because she was carrying his child that he was acting this way.

Since he just covered her with a quilt, she knew that Chushi Weiming cared about her.

At this moment, here came the voice of Chushi Weiming outside the door.

"Now the weather is cold. Remember to cover the Imperial Concubine with a quilt at night, and don't let her catch a cold."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi touched her stomach with her hand.

Then, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

At this time, in Zhou Ji's room

In the middle of the night, he heard a movement in the yard.

Then, Zhou Ji immediately became alert.

At this time, he saw two people walking out of the yard.

The two were wearing dark clothes. After coming out, they looked around and walked aside.

Zhou Ji raised his brows slightly at this time and then followed them far behind.

After leaving the market, he saw that they were walking straight towards the Blossoming Peach.

Seeing this, Zhou Ji couldn't help frowning slightly. What were they going to do?

Then, Zhou Ji followed him closely.

When the two arrived at the Blossoming Peach, they didn't go in but walked straight to the peach forest in front of the door.

Seeing this, Zhou Ji couldn't help being confused.

What were they going to do?

It was winter. There was nothing else except the bare peach trees. Why were they going here?

Zhou Ji couldn't figure it out. Since there was no shelter in the peach forest, Zhou Ji watched them from a distance to avoid being discovered.

After walking for a while, they stopped and took out something from the bag they carried. It was too dark for Zhou Ji to see it clearly.

At this moment, Zhou Ji suddenly thought that the location where they stood was the grave.

Previously, in order to restore the identity of the madam, they pretended that the madam was dead and buried her in the peach forest.

But he didn’t expect that Princess An Qin would find here!

It couldn't be known by Princess An Qin. If she knew, there must be a big mess. At this time, Zhou Ji was about to stop them. But on second thought, if he came forward, it would alert the enemy. And Princess An Qin would doubt the identity of the person in this tomb even more.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ji couldn't help frowning tightly. And then he glanced at the Blossoming Peach on the side. Right, he could find people in the Blossoming Peach to help.

Then, Zhou Ji hurried to the Blossoming Peach.

He walked to the side of the courtyard wall and jumped into the courtyard.

Then, he walked straight to the backyard of the Blossoming Peach.

Ever since Marquis went to find madam, Princess An Qin often came to the Blossoming Peach. He had observed it secretly, so he could still remember the road here.

He vaguely remembered that the name of the person that madam trusted the most was Xian. He was the one whose feet were injured in the fire of the Woman Flower.

When Zhou Ji arrived in the backyard, he looked at the many rooms and couldn't help but frown slightly. Which room did Xian live in?

The situation was urgent, so he decided to go into a room and ask.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ji walked straight to the room closest to him.

It was the room of Zixia.

As soon as he pushed the door open, a fragrance came to his face, Zhou Ji raised his brow slightly and walked in.

At this time, he saw Zixia was sleeping, and she didn't notice any sound.

Zixia fell into a deep sleep. Among the sisters, she was the one who had the best sleep quality.

At this time, Zhou Ji walked straight to the bed and saw the woman who was asleep on the bed. The woman suddenly turned over. Zhou Ji thought she was about to wake up.

So, he said quickly, "Miss, I want..."

Before Zhou Ji could finish speaking, he heard Zixia's snoring. He couldn't help but look dazed at this moment.

She slept so deeply that she probably didn't even know it even if she had been carried away.

Then, Zhou Ji leaned down and shook Zixia gently, "Miss, Miss, wake up."

Zixia turned around at this time and then muttered, "Don't grab my buns. Don't..."

With that, she fell asleep again.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ji couldn't help being stunned. And then, he exclaimed, "Miss..."

"Ah... Where's my bun?" Zixia, who was awakened at this time, sat up in a daze. She was still muttering in her mouth and had not fully woken up yet.

After Zhou Ji heard it, he felt speechless. But finally, she woke up. Then, Zhou Ji hurriedly asked, "Miss, which room does Xian live in?"

"Xian lives..." Zixia was about to say. Suddenly, she widened her eyes and looked at Zhou Ji who was standing in front of her bed.

Zixia immediately asked with a trembling, "Who are you... Who are you? Why are you in my room? And why are you looking for Xian?"

Seeing Zhou Ji dressed up in dark clothes and holding a sword in his hand, Zixia couldn't help but feel frightened.

"Miss, I am from the mansion of Marquis Shuo. I have something urgent to talk to Xian about. I didn't know which room Xian lived in, so I just came in and asked." In order to ask where Xian lived as soon as possible, Zhou Ji explained to Zixia at this moment.
