"Mother, what did Prince Yu mean by what he just said?"

After talking to Su Shixia on the carriage, Prince Yu left.

Su Shixia didn't stay on the street, and took Xiao Qin Zhan and the others directly back to the small courtyard.

Xiao Qin Zhan had always been concerned about her safety before, but now he was still worried about it. He clung to Su Shixia at night and made sure to sleep with her.

Su Shixia naturally followed him.

After washing up, mother and son both lay down in the warm quilt. Xiao Qin Zhan held Su Shixia's arm tightly and couldn't hide his curiosity and asked about what happened before.

"King Pingxi is not really seriously injured and dying, he is just pretending. Shouldn't we be the only ones who know about this?"

As if he was afraid of being heard by bad guys, the little guy's voice was very soft, and his tone could not hide his doubts.

"Why would Prince Keyu specifically ask you about the 'real situation' of Prince Pingxi? Has he already sensed something and asked that deliberately to test you?"

In the carriage at that time, when Prince Yu asked those words, Su Shixia was really startled. However, she was still calm and did not show any expression on her face. She only pretended not to care.

Looks like:

"Prince Yu, you should also know what is going on between Qin Yi and me."

"I severely injured him with my own hands before and almost killed him. This is not a rumor, it is all true."

Su Shixia deliberately did not respond directly to Prince Yu's question, focusing instead on her relationship with Qin Yi.

"I wholeheartedly wanted to make peace with him. The reason I took Zhan'er out to live before was because I wanted to clear up the relationship with him."

"After he was injured, except for yesterday, I didn't go back to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to see him again. I don't even care about his life or death, so how do I know his 'real situation'?"

She shook her head and looked helpless, "I don't know what you mean by asking this, but if you ask me, you are really asking the wrong person."

Prince Yu looked at her quietly for a long time. In the end, he did not explain the purpose of his question. He only said seriously, "I don't know whether what you said is the truth or a lie. I also don't know."

I’m not in the mood to look it up.”

"The current situation in the DPRK and China is complicated, and the national counselor Ye Li has unclear intentions... There are many things that I cannot tell you clearly."

"From my standpoint, I cannot go to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion to see Qin Yi in person. In comparison, you are the closest person to Qin Yi."

Su Shixia opened her mouth and was about to refute, but before she could say anything, the prince raised his hand and interrupted her.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to see Qin Yi in person. The commander of Qin Yi's guards seems to be named Shi Jun, right? Can't you contact him at will?"

"Ask him to tell Qin Yi that the current His Majesty is different from the one he knew and thought about. Tell him to be careful and protect himself first."

Prince Yu left after leaving these words.

Although Su Shixia didn't understand what he meant, but thinking that there might be some profound meaning in his words, she didn't dare to hide it, so she called Shi Jun over directly and conveyed the words to him word for word.

Although Shi Jun's expression was a little weird after hearing that, he didn't say much. He didn't even rush to go back to Qin Yi. He escorted them back to the small courtyard in person. Then he led the guards of Prince Pingxi's Mansion.

The army turned back.

We were on the road before, so Su Shixia didn't think much about it.

When Xiao Qin Zhan mentioned it, she carefully went through the details before and after the incident, even every word Prince Yu said and every expression on his face, trying to find some clues.

But after thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure it out.

"I still don't know what he meant by that."

Su Shixia hugged Xiao Qin Zhan's body and whispered: "However, no matter how you analyze it, King Yu should not have any hostility towards Qin Yi. He should not want to harm him. He deliberately inquired about Qin Yi's true situation.

Maybe... I really care about him."

"Judging from what he conveyed to Qin Yi, what he wanted to remind Qin Yi might be something in the court."

Su Shixia smiled and said: "We are not involved in the court, we just open a shop and live our own small life. No matter what their plans are, they have nothing to do with us."

"Don't be afraid."

She patted Xiao Qin Zhan's back lightly and said, "No matter what happens, my mother is still here, and she will definitely protect you."

"I don't want my mother to protect me! I just want my mother to be well!"

Xiao Qin Zhan raised his voice slightly and emphasized, "Mom, don't do those dangerous things again in the future, I'm afraid!"

"Okay, okay, listen to our Zhan'er."

Su Shixia smiled and took him into her arms, "Go to sleep quickly. I haven't slept well for most of the night. I'm afraid you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning. If you miss the morning practice time, your master should

I’ll beat you up.”

When Xiao Qin Zhan heard Su Shixia mention Mr. Mo, he immediately curled up his neck and snuggled into her arms and closed his eyes hard, "I fell asleep!"

He said in a low voice, "I will fall asleep immediately when I close my eyes, and I will definitely be able to get up early tomorrow!"

Su Shixia looked at his cute little self-deception and couldn't help but chuckle. She leaned over and kissed his forehead, then raised her hand and extinguished the candle.

The next day, Xiao Qin Zhan got up early, but Su Shixia got up late.

The injury she suffered last night was not serious. Although she took some medicine, she still needed to take good care of herself for a period of time if she wanted to return to her best condition.

She also knew her situation, so she didn't feel guilty at all about getting up late and sleeping until close to noon.

After unhurriedly changing her clothes and freshening up, she opened the bedroom door and walked out, and was surprised to find that there was no one in the courtyard.

Not to mention Xiao Qin Zhan and the others, even Su Qiu didn't know where they had gone.

She searched around the yard and saw no one. She couldn't help but wonder, so she opened the secret door and went to the shop facing the street.

As soon as I entered the store, I saw everyone crowded at the door, looking towards the street, as if they were watching something lively.

The customers in the store just wanted to watch the fun. Even Xiao Qin Zhan, Mr. Mo, Su Donglin and the Qian brothers and sisters were crowding at the door.

Xiao Qin Zhan was too short to see clearly, so Mr. Mo directly lifted him up and let Xiao Qin Zhan sit on his shoulders.

The corners of Su Shixia's eyes twitched, and she always felt that the scene in front of her looked weird.

People in the store were talking a lot, and there was also a commotion on the street. Su Shixia listened for a while, but couldn't get any clue, so she simply walked up to Mr. Mo and raised her hand to pat him on the back.

Mr. Mo turned around cautiously and relaxed after seeing clearly that the person coming was her.

"Have a night's rest. Will you feel better?"

Mr. Mo's eyes carefully scanned her body up and down, as if he wanted to confirm if there was anything strange about her.

Su Shixia nodded, "I'm fine, I'm just a little weak. I'll be fine in a few days."

"What are you doing?"

While she was asking this question, she couldn't help but curiously stood up on her tiptoes and glanced at the street.

"What happened?"

As soon as she asked this question, before Mr. Mo had time to respond, she heard the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly coming from far away, and someone shouted loudly.

"Urgent report! There was an earthquake in Tong'an City last night, and the mountains collapsed and the ground collapsed! Most of the houses in Tong'an City collapsed, and there were countless casualties among the people! Please come to the capital for help urgently!"
