After sending Hu Ling'er into her bedroom, Xia Yihan did not leave immediately, but sat down at the table.

Hu Ling'er saw that he obviously had something to say, so she said to Xiao Miao: "Xiao Miao, go and make some tea."

Xiaomiao went out, Min Mo was still guarding the door, and the only two of them were left in the room.

Hu Ling'er sat down opposite Xia Yihan, "Prince, do you have something to say to me?"

He looked at her with a little hesitation, and Xia Yihan said: "Yes, I want to ask about your next plan."

When Hu Ling'er heard this, she couldn't help but tease her, "Didn't the prince say he doesn't care about the passage, he only cares about the result? I think you don't want to know."

Xia Yihan paused, remembering that he had said this, but now there are more things about Sang Rong, so he must deal with it carefully, otherwise no matter whether it is Qi Hongqing or Sang Jinde, there will be no matter how it is.

Less trouble.

There is even the right prime minister. Even if Mu Wanru doesn't care, she is the nominal Princess Han after all, and Mu Qihua can't let her daughter be wronged.

Thinking of this, Xia Yihan said: "I just hope that the plan will go smoother, so I feel that it is necessary to communicate in cooperation."

"Well, that's right." Hu Ling'er supported her chin with one hand and leaned towards Xia Yihan, suddenly asked: "You have known that the emperor likes Sang Rong for a long time, right?"

Xia Yihan didn't expect Hu Ling'er to ask Sang Rong about it as soon as he came up. He was a little guilty and was slightly shocked, but his face was calm and calm: "Yes, Qi Hong was right before he became the prince in the morning.

Sang Rong is interesting.”

"So that's it." Hu Ling'er nodded thoughtfully, narrowed her eyes slightly, and then said, "Then you shouldn't deny the things that Sang Rong is interested in you, right?"

This time, Xia Yihan's heart thumped twice, but when he saw Hu Ling'er say this indifferently, he felt a little disappointed.

She really didn't care about the relationship between herself and Sang Rong at all.

Nodded, Xia Yihan did not speak.

Hu Ling'er knew it in her heart, pondered for another moment, touched her chin with her right hand habitually, and said, "Qi Hongqing obviously knows Sang Rong's thoughts. Judging from what happened yesterday, he is actually a very cunning person.

So I was wondering, would he have come up with a way to get Sang Rong and make Sang Rong give up on you, so he came up with a way to give me a marriage to you?"

Xia Yihan's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied in fact: "Actually, I have thought about this. Maybe this may be one of the reasons, but I think this matter will not be so simple."

"What do you mean is he that there are other reasons?" In fact, Hu Ling'er thought so in her heart, and she had guessed another reason.

Xia Yihan looked at her slightly narrowed eyes and the corners of the lips curled up by evil spirits. He knew that she must have guessed something, so he cooperated and said, "So I want to hear your thoughts."

"My thought is..." Hu Ling'er raised her eyebrows, deliberately dragged Changyin and kept it in hiding, and then continued: "There is also the reason behind the Empress Dowager."

"Empress Dowager?" Xia Yihan's black eyes sank slightly, "Is this matter related to the Empress Dowager?"

"It's not related to the Empress Dowager." Hu Ling'er shook her finger and corrected: "It's because of the Empress Dowager."

This was extremely confusing. Fortunately, Xia Yihan was also a smart person, so he naturally understood the meaning. However, before he could answer, Hu Ling'er continued: "The Queen Mother has told me all the story of your mother."

In fact, Xia Yihan was not surprised at all. He had already made mental preparations before taking her to see the Queen Mother. Later, after he left for so long, the Queen Mother must have told her what she should say and what she should not say.

It's right.

"So what?" Xia Yihan still had a little difficulty in understanding what Hu Linger said.

Hu Ling'er no longer kept it a secret and said seriously: "So you are special to the Queen Mother. If Qi Hongqing openly did the right thing to you, the Queen Mother would definitely object, so he could only operate in secret. And this first step,

It is to stabilize the Empress Dowager's heart. He wants the Empress Dowager to feel that everything he does is for you and will never do anything that is unfavorable to you. In this way, even if you have any doubts about him, the news will also reach the Empress Dowager.

In my ears, as long as there is no evidence, the Empress Dowager will definitely not believe that this is true. Because how could a good man who considers the emperor's brother everywhere, takes the emperor as a pride and as an example hurt the emperor's brother.

What's going on?"

"So, if I want to make sure that Qi Hongqing has a different intention towards me, the Empress Dowager will become disgusted with me, thinking that I am proud of my contributions, and even more serious is that I have taken advantage of the throne." Xia Yihan seemed to understand something.

"That's right, that's it." Hu Ling'er snapped her fingers with satisfaction, "The Queen Mother loves you now, and it's right to value you. That's because she feels guilty towards you and your mother. But Qi Hongqing is her biological son after all, after all,

, We must not underestimate a mother's instinct for protecting her baby. Once she feels that someone will threaten her child, she will definitely regard it as an enemy without hesitation and remove it decisively. And prince, since you have it,

The ability to make the emperor depose the crown prince and help Qi Hongqing ascend the throne. Then she would take it for granted that you must have the ability to pull him off the throne and replace him."

Hu Ling'er's words made Xia Yihan suddenly realize that he had been thinking about Qi Hongqing's aspects before, but never considered the Empress Dowager's side.

Because the Queen Mother was really good to him like her biological mother. Although he was always indifferent to him, he remembered all of this in his heart.

Judging from yesterday's situation, Qi Hongqing had already put his ideas on the empress dowager.

"So is Qi Hongqing doing this now so that the Empress Dowager doubts me?" A faint chill gathered on Xia Yihan's body.

In order to get rid of him, Qi Hongqing even wanted to use his mother.

"That's right, and he almost succeeded, right?" Hu Ling'er's lips curled up with a sarcasm.

Xia Yihan held her forehead a little weakly.

Yes, if he had really helped Sang Rong resist the order yesterday, the Empress Dowager would definitely have an objection to him.

Just now...

Although yesterday's incident was resolved by her wit, Sang Rong is now in his Prince Han's Mansion, and according to her emotions last night, she will never go back to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion if she dies.

Last night, he asked someone to apply medicine to Sang Rong and originally planned to leave.

But she never woke up, and kept holding his hand and calling his name, making it impossible for him to leave.

Until dawn was almost dawn, Sang Rong finally woke up. After waking up, she kept holding him and crying, saying that she would never want to go back to that house again. If he insisted on her going back, she would rather die.

Xia Yihan was helpless, but he knew that Sang Rong would not listen to anything at this time, so he could only comfort her, promised her to stay in Prince Han's mansion, and then found an excuse to come out.

If Sang Rong had lived here forever, this matter would have been exposed sooner or later, and he would have been surrounded by enemies.

Although he didn't care about the position of this prince, he didn't want Sang Rong to fall into this struggle that had nothing to do with her.

After all, he was the only person Qi Hongqing wanted to deal with.

Seeing Xia Yihan pondering and silent, Hu Ling'er stopped talking and just looked at him silently.

The quiet air flowed slowly indoors, and Hu Ling'er didn't want to guess what Xia Yihan was thinking at the moment.

At this moment, the knock on the door sounded, and Xiaomiao was bringing tea in.

Xiao Miao came in and went out, but in a blink of an eye, it made some adjustments to the slightly slight atmosphere.

Hu Ling'er poured water for Xia Yihan and asked, "How did you get the poison on your body at that time?"

After just asking this, Xia Yihan understood what Hu Ling'er meant and asked without answering, "Do you also suspect that this matter is related to Qi Hongqing?"

Outsiders say that the poison was given by the deposed prince Qi Muqing, but only Xia Yihan knew that there was something strange about it, but she didn't expect that she would have any doubts?

"Actually, the thing I doubt is not just this." Xia Yihan's expression was a little solemn, as if he had thought of something sad.

After saying a word, he lowered his eyes slightly, and then continued: "I am even suspicious that the person who chased me to Yin Qi Mountain was also sent by Qi Hongqing. Because at that time, I was clearly from Qi Muqing's hands

He got the Blood Lotus Heart, and he was seriously injured by this king and ran away. However, a group of men in black with extraordinary strength appeared behind him. They seemed to know this king very well, so I was careless about them for a moment.

Poison. Of course, I did not doubt Qi Hongqing's head at all at that time, so that after his confidant appeared, I made that irreversible mistake..."

Having said this, Xia Yihan didn't say anything more, but Hu Ling'er's heart twitched slightly.

Because intuition told her that this should be related to her.

Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but ask: "Is it... something about Hu Ling'er?"

After the words came, Xia Yihan suddenly looked up and looked at her with disbelief.
