Of course, everything was peaceful in the palace, but the atmosphere next door was not very good.
"Master, I have inquired and found out that the prince went to the lake with Young Master Shang again."
Xiao Yuzi walked into the study room angrily, with his mouth pouting so hard that he could hang a teapot.
Ye Lihan, who was sitting at the table reading a book, threw the book in his hand onto the table and asked, "Who asked you to inquire?"
"But… "
Xiao Yuzi saw that his master was in a bad mood these past two days, so he went to the palace to inquire about it.
Ye Lihan looked out the window with a cold look in his eyes: "She can do whatever she wants, it has nothing to do with me."
"No, Master, isn't she going too far? Since she has signed a contract with you, she shouldn't be involved with other men. What does she want to do? Could it be that she wants to enjoy the happiness of having two men at the same time?"
Ye Lihan's face suddenly darkened and became extremely ugly.
"What nonsense! This prince and she are just doing business. Stop talking nonsense and stop asking questions to avoid causing trouble for me."
"I just feel that it's unfair to you. I just signed a contract with you, and then..."
Xiao Yuzi lowered his head and muttered softly.
Ye Lihan rubbed his forehead, becoming impatient.
"Okay, shut up, do what you need to do, and don't bother me here."
"oh."
Xiao Yuzi quickly stopped talking and quietly left the study.
Ye Lihan sat in the chair for a while, then slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked across the garden in the direction of the palace with a dark gaze.
"What do you want to do?"
Her excuse of shielding her from gossip was not very tenable to begin with, and now...
Since you can use other men, why come to me
The more Ye Lihan thought about it, the more confused he became.
"Someone come."
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in the room.
"master."
"Go and keep an eye on Prince Rui and find out what she has been doing recently and who she has been meeting with."
He must know her ultimate goal.
He didn't want to continue getting along in such a muddled way, and he didn't want to always be here struggling, hesitating, and guessing alone.
"She is very good at martial arts. Be careful and don't get too close."
"yes."
The secret guard received the order and left the study in a flash.
Ye Lihan looked in the direction of the palace and narrowed his eyes: "This prince wants to see what you are up to!"
In fact, besides him, Li Sang in the palace was also very confused about Su Qiao's recent behavior.
When he thought that Su Qiao had fallen in love with someone else and had fallen in love with Ye Lihan, she started going out with Shang Shuheng frequently.
In the court, officials continued to fall one after another.
And every time, he could produce solid evidence, which made the ministers dare not say a word, and made Huang Ling, who had just taken power, more angry day by day.
She was not a cunning person to begin with, and her hostility towards Su Qiao had been growing stronger over the past few days.
However, Su Qiao still sat in her chair as calmly as before, not saying a word, but listening and watching leisurely.
Although she didn't say a word, almost no minister in the court dared to ignore her. Every time the little emperor asked a question or made a decision, they would first look at Su Qiao's face before deciding whether to agree or politely refuse.
When it was time to leave the court, Su Qiao stood up, patted his sleeves, and leisurely left the palace and returned home.
The little emperor was filled with rage and rushed to Fengxiang Palace.
"Father, what does she mean?"
"The ministers have to act according to her mood. What do they think of me? Just a decoration?"
