Su Shixia felt that there must be something wrong with Su Jingrao and Princess Xiangning.

At the door of Princess Lejia's dormitory before, she had obviously quarreled with them once, but the two people still refused to give up and followed her persistently.

Wherever she went, the two of them followed her, as if they were afraid that she would leave their sight.

Their strange behavior, not to mention Qian Duoduo, who had been following Su Shixia silently, even Xiao Qin Zhan, who had been holding hands with her all the way, also noticed something was wrong.

"Mom, give me a hug!"

When he reached an archway in the Royal Garden, the little guy stopped and stretched out his hand towards Su Shixia for a hug.

"We have been walking for a long time. I am exhausted and my legs hurt."

Su Shixia was very aware of Xiao Qin Zhan's physical strength. He basically never failed to complete the training tasks assigned to him by Mr. Mo. In addition, when he was at Fahua Temple, Su Shixia thought of ways to do it for him.

The delicious food replenishes the body, and the little guy's body is now as strong as a calf.

Let alone a stroll around the palace, even if he were asked to run around the palace a few times, he would definitely be able to endure it.

At this moment, he took the initiative to complain that he was tired, which must have other meanings.

Su Shixia calmly glanced at the two princesses of Xiangning who were not far behind them, and naturally leaned over to hug little Qin Zhan into her arms.

"Mom, those two people behind have been following us!"

Xiao Qin Zhan lay on Su Shixia's shoulder and said in a voice that only Su Shixia could hear: "Don't you still want to find a way to find the magic circle that the Imperial Master has arranged in the palace? Do you need me?

Help you cover up?"

The little guy said confidently: "I can find a way to lure the two of them away."

Su Shixia raised her eyebrows, "How are you going to seduce me?"

"Didn't Princess Su, who called you sister, always say that she was wrong and wanted to compensate you?"

Xiao Qin Zhan said: "I can go to her and ask her to take me to play around in the palace. Isn't that Princess Xiangning with her? Then let her bring Princess Xiangning with her."

"Wherever you want to go, I will lead them in the opposite direction, so that you can investigate quietly."

Using him as bait to lure the tiger away from the mountain is a good starting point.

But after hearing this, Su Shixia just smiled and patted his back.

"Mother knows that you want to help me, and I appreciate your kindness. However... your method cannot be used."

Xiao Qin Zhan became a little anxious when he heard this. He straightened his little body and asked urgently: "Why not?"

"The two of them behaved so abnormally today. It seems like they have an agenda."

Su Shixia's tone was calm and firm.

"I don't feel comfortable letting you leave my sight with them."

"You can let Sister Duoduo come with me..."

Xiao Qin Zhan tried hard to persuade Su Shixia again.

But Su Shixia's attitude was very firm.

"Zhan'er, you are still young."

Su Shixia said: "In my opinion, your life is more important than anyone else's, including of course your master."

"Don't tell me that I decided to take action today mainly to help your master. Even if it is for myself, I will never risk your life. Do you understand?"

Su Shixia made her attitude so clear that Xiao Qin Zhan obediently nodded and lay back on her shoulder.

"It would be nice if I could grow up quickly."

He muttered in a low voice, "When I grow up and become as powerful as my master, I will be able to protect my mother, and I don't have to worry about me anymore."

Su Shixia's eyes couldn't help but soften at her innocent words.

"In my mother's eyes, no matter how old you get, you are still my child. If my son lives to be a hundred, my mother will worry about ninety-nine. Do you understand?"

"Then I will live to be one hundred and one years old!"

The little guy got angry and insisted on persisting to the end. Su Shixia couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Okay, mother knows you want to help."

Su Shixia said: "Don't worry, I have my own plan. Now I'm not sure where Li was in the palace that night. In the morning, we walked around the palace, and I took my time to feel it.

, and see where exactly there is a problem.”

"The two of them will follow them if they like, and their reactions won't affect anything. I won't touch anything in the palace, but I'm just walking around and taking a look. Even if they doubt me again, they can't do anything to me."

"But I do have to do something on my own this afternoon."

Su Shixia lowered her voice and said: "After the palace banquet, if the imperial concubine has other arrangements, just take the initiative to say that you are not feeling well, and I will take you back to Zhaoyun Palace to rest."

"It would be best if they stop following me this afternoon. If they still want to follow me, I will change my identity with your sister Duoduo and let your sister Duoduo accompany you in the palace while I go out alone."

When Xiao Qin Zhan heard that he could still help, he immediately became energetic.

I heard Su Shixia follow up: "But I still don't feel at ease with only your sister Duoduo guarding you. If I meet your master later, let him arrange some manpower in Zhaoyun Palace. In his palace

There should be someone there."

When Su Shixia said this, she couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "It's too late to wake up. All the hard work in the past few years has been wasted. If I had known that the situation in the palace was so complicated, we, mother and son, would have been

If he is involved, I should have made arrangements earlier."

She really has no interest in fighting in the court or in the harem.

In the past, she only thought that as long as she left the Qin family, cleared up her relationship with Qin Yi, and could live a good life with little Qin Zhan, she would have completed her phased tasks.

Who could have imagined that in just a few months, the situation would become as complicated as it is today.

She told Mr. Mo before that they were like fish on the chopping board now that they were in the palace. This was really not an exaggeration.

The current situation was too passive, which made her feel a strong sense of crisis.

Thinking again of Xiao Qin Zhan's reaction when she used her ability to use Xiao Qin Zhan's eyes to peek into her future... Could it be that that disaster will come true today?

Su Shixia pursed her lips, subconsciously hugged little Qin Zhan tighter in her arms, quickened her pace, and secretly released her sensory power, trying to find any clues Ye Li might have left.

Su Shixia really walked around every place in the palace that she could go to.

She also went to the mysterious courtyard that Princess Lejia mentioned, but the road leading to the courtyard was guarded by guards, and she was not allowed to approach.

After avoiding the sight of the imperial guards, Su Shixia took advantage of the surrounding flowers and trees and walked to the base of the courtyard wall to feel it carefully, her eyes changing slightly.

Princess Lejia really helped her a lot this time.

There is indeed a problem in this yard!
