Chapter 166 The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Xiao Lingche didn't understand, but he was very panicked. Why did Qingge get so excited when Princess Xining was mentioned?
He held her hand and said
"Qingge, I only found out about this after the fact. It was too late for me to stop it. What happened to you? Why are you so excited?"
Shen Qingqing, who was standing by, watched all of Ye Qingge's actions. She was thoughtful and wondered if Ye Qingge had any relationship with Princess Xining?
At this moment, Ye Qingge realized that Shen Qingqing was staring at her with a frown. Oh no, she was too excited just now and forgot her existence.
She adjusted her mood, calmed down, and forced a smile.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry. I was a little excited just now. As you know, I grew up in Xining. The Princess of Xining was our little lucky star. I have always liked her and regarded her as a role model. Now that I know she is in trouble, I am a little excited."
"I see. Don't do this again next time. I'm very worried."
"Um"
Xiao Lingche held Ye Qingge in his arms to comfort her. Ye Qingge leaned on his chest, but her heart was still blocked.
When Shen Qingqing saw this scene, she twisted the handkerchief under the table again and again.
She continued
"But why did I hear that Princess Xining was ill?"
"It must be a cover put up by the King of Xining."
Xiao Lingche let go of Ye Qingge and said, the two countries have signed a treaty. If Xining refuses to marry, it will violate the treaty, but it will have to pay a heavy price. The King of Xining can only say that the princess is sick to delay time.
Shen Qingqing nodded in agreement. Ye Qingge didn't want to talk anymore, so she stood up and left.
"Qingge, I will take you back."
Xiao Lingche took her hand and they walked away together.
Shen Qingqing looked at the two people disappearing from the back, her heart full of jealousy
Manluo poured her a cup of tea
"Princess, do you think Miss Ye's reaction just now was strange?"
Shen Qingqing glanced at her
"Even you noticed that?"
"Well, Miss Ye is so easily jealous. Logically speaking, Princess Xining is dead and poses no threat to her. She should be happy, but she looked so strange just now."
Shen Qingqing gazed slightly, Ye Qingge must have some relationship with Princess Xining, otherwise she would not have been so excited just now
"Manluo, tell our people to go to Xining and investigate Ye Qingge's background. This county lord wants to know where she comes from."
"Okay, Princess."
……
Ye Qingge was restless after returning home. Although Xiao Lingche explained, she still felt uncomfortable.
She had originally planned to tell him her identity, but now she felt it was a bit ridiculous. His attitude just now, and the fact that Prince Rui couldn't marry Princess Xining and even seemed to be gloating over it, made her more and more entangled.
And what about Shen Qingqing? She keeps pestering Xiao Lingche. Doesn’t she know that Xiao Lingche is getting married soon?
She is really tired. She likes someone and has to help him cut off his peach blossoms. Maybe there will be countless peach blossoms waiting for him in the future.
In the end, it was because Xiao Lingche's attitude was unclear. She had told him about this matter, but he said that Shen Qingqing was helping him to get information, so it was of some use for the time being.
She has nothing to say!
-
two days later
Manluo trotted along, holding a scroll in her hand.
"Princess"
Shen Qingqing looked up at Manluo
"Any news?"
"Uh-huh"
Manluo nodded excitedly
Shen Qingqing was carelessly repairing the potted plants with scissors. After that day, Brother Che seemed to be hiding from her. She couldn't find him at all. Every time she went to the palace, he was nowhere to be seen.
She had no choice but to stay at home and tend to the flowers and plants, feeling extremely depressed.
"Have you found out her identity?"
"no"
Manluo shook her head
Shen Qingqing continued to prune the branches, looking angry.
"We haven't found anything yet. Why are you so excited?"
Manluo quickly comforted her
"Miss, although we didn't find anything, our people got a portrait of Princess Xining. Please take a look."
Manluo opened the scroll, Shen Qingqing looked up inadvertently, her pupils dilated
"This is?"
"That's right, Princess, the person in this portrait looks exactly like Miss Ye."
Shen Qingqing put down the scissors, picked up the portrait, and looked at it carefully. This figure and these eyebrows are exactly Ye Qingge herself.
So she is really Princess Xining?
Although Shen Qingqing had guessed a little, she didn't dare to conclude it completely. Now that she knew the truth, she was still a little shocked.
Since she is the Princess of Xining, why did Brother Tian Che look completely unaware of her identity? Why didn't Ye Qingge tell him her identity?
Shen Qingqing thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Ye Qingge meant.
Just as she was lost in thought, a servant came in to announce
"Princess, a guest is visiting."
"Who is it?"
She had just arrived in the capital and didn't have many friends here. Who would come to visit her?
"That person claimed to be from the Rui Palace."
Prince Rui's Mansion? Could it be that her cousin wanted to see her?
She put down the scroll and asked Manluo to put it away. This secret must not be known to others.
"Let her in"
When that person came in, Shen Qingqing frowned.
"It's you"
Lin Ruoyue looked at Shen Qingqing and found it a little funny
"Why, the princess is not welcome?"
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here."
Shen Qingqing heard about Lin Ruoyue's glorious deeds. This person is really not simple. Her whole family is gone, and she escaped because she married her cousin.
He was entangled with Brother Che before, and his methods were sinister and vicious. This kind of person should not be closely associated with.
Lin Ruoyue no longer cares about Shen Qingqing's attitude. Anyway, her family is broken and she is living like an ant. She doesn't care what others think of her.
But she was unwilling to accept it. She was unwilling to become like this, while Ye Qingge was going to marry Xiao Lingche without any harm.
She learned a secret by chance.
Prince Rui spoke the truth after drinking. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also liked Ye Qingge. Her Lin family fell overnight, maybe it was the Crown Prince's handiwork. I heard that the Crown Prince's legs were getting better recently, and the Queen also began to rule the six palaces again.
King Rui began to be anxious to marry Xining, but what he didn't know was that Princess Xining had already died in her hands. Humph
What drives her crazy is why even the prince likes her. Although she and the prince had broken off their engagement long ago, she still feels resentful in her heart. Maybe the prince had broken off the engagement because of Ye Qingge!
Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still. Why did everyone like her? Even King Rui was drooling over her. No, she would not allow it. She must destroy Ye Qingge!
She sat down and sneered
"Princess, are you willing to let your brother Che marry Ye Qingge? You are a high and mighty princess, how can you be inferior to her?"
"What do you mean?"
Shen Qingqing didn't understand why she said that.
"My meaning is very simple. Let's work together to destroy Ye Qingge, and then you can marry King Xuan."
"Ruined her?"
"That's right. If she loses her innocence, do you think Prince Xuan will still marry her?"
Lin Ruoyue clenched her fists. It was that bitch Ye Qingge who had caused her to be in such a situation. She must let her also taste what it felt like to fall from the clouds and be trampled into the mud.
In order to ensure that everything is safe, she found Shen Qingqing. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Besides, Ye Qingge should not be wary of Shen Qingqing yet.
So, she is the most suitable
