Qing He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said lightly, "I have to ask the Fourth Prince about this. Qing He doesn't know that the Fourth Prince has come to visit."

"What did you do?"

Qing He looked at Prime Minister Su, "Appreciating music and playing chess, does father not believe you?"

"Father naturally believes that the Prince will plead on your behalf, so you don't have to go into confinement anymore."

Qing He sneered, "I wasn't wrong to begin with. I didn't push her."

"There's no need to mention the past. If you get too close to the Fourth Prince, there will be no good ending for you. You should understand that if you keep a low profile, you won't …" "Sigh!"

Qing He saw worry in Prime Minister Su's eyes. She naturally understood this logic. "Qing He understands."

"Alright, you can all go now."

Prime Minister Su paused before continuing, "Ru Yun, why don't you accompany me tonight? Old Wang, send the Third Miss back. "

When Qing He returned to the house, he thought about what Prime Minister Su had said. His words seemed to know the reason why he was kidnapped by the robbers.

She had been too flamboyant and had been hated by others. Then, someone had disliked her and ruined her reputation? If he knew, why didn't he say so? Was it because the other party was too powerful? Stronger than the Prime Minister?

Qing He asked Little Bamboo, "Is there anyone who has a very bad relationship with me?"

Xiao Zhu thought for a moment, "There is a particularly bad person, Princess Liuyue, the most beloved princess of the emperor. She always fights with you and scoffs at you. Why does Miss ask these questions?"

"I've lost my memory. I have to be careful of people who don't have a good relationship with me before."

"That's good too. What did the prime minister tell you?" Miss will be very worried as soon as she returns. "

"It's just a warning. Little Zhu, what kind of people do I have that are particularly powerful and have a bad relationship with?"

"Mm …" "No more."

"Little Zhu, tell me about my relationship with Princess Liuyue."

"Okay, miss, you two will quarrel as soon as we meet. She always says that your identity …" She said that other than having a face, there's nothing else. Those men all blind by then asked for your hand in marriage, and you guys even fought with each other a few times. Anyways, you guys don't like each other, and by the way, she likes Second Young Master. "

"Su Qingyuan?"

"Yes."

"How old is Princess Liuyue?"

"Fourteen."

Qing He wondered, could it be Flowing Moon? Mother had told her before that the empress had no children, only two princesses, Liuya and Liuyue.

If it really was Liuyue, even if Prime Minister Su found out about it, he would not say it out loud. Even the Imperial Palace did not manage to find out about that matter.

"Ai!"

Qing He sighed and let nature take its course. He would talk about what happened in the future.

In the palace, Xuanyuan Liumu was walking in the direction of the Kunning Palace. The empress should already know about what had happened at the Prime Minister's Palace.

As soon as he returned to the palace, there were people from the empress's side who asked him to pay a visit to Ning Xuemo. She probably was very disappointed that he didn't do as she asked.

He knew what had happened to her, and the rumors said that she was in a terrible condition, but he had never cared about her. Today, she had shocked him, perhaps because he was full of admiration for her, and her zither and chess skills had made him look at her in a new light.

The thing that left the deepest impression on him was that dance. It wasn't the best dance that he had ever seen, but the one that left the deepest impression on him.

She danced very diligently, and every movement was almost perfect. She had a smile on her face, and enjoyed the feeling of dancing very much. The falling flowers surrounded her, and she was as beautiful as a fairy.

Perhaps Xuanyuan Liumu did not notice this, but whenever he thought of the harmony between the two, the corners of his mouth would always curl upwards.

Soon enough, they arrived at their destination. Xuanyuan Liumu took a look at the three words "Kun Ning Palace" on the signboard before walking in.

He looked at the empress lying on the imperial concubine's bed and bowed, "Your son is honored to attend the empress and the empress's blessings."

The empress closed her eyes and smiled, "No more."

The voice was pleasant, yet dignified.

"All of you can leave now."

All of the palace maids and eunuchs had left the room.

The empress opened her eyes with a smile on her elegant face. She was dressed in a yellow palace dress, looking graceful and graceful, as if she was a mother to the world.

The empress's red lips parted slightly. "Sit."

Xuanyuan Liumu sat on a chair by her side and gave a gentle smile, "What is the empress looking for me for?"

The empress chuckled. "Why didn't you do as I asked?"

"Your son originally wanted to propose to little sister Qingyao, but …"

"But, leave Qingyao and run to Su Qing's courtyard to play the flute and play chess. You can do whatever you want with me! How joyful!"

The empress's words were loud and clear as she stared at him with her beautiful phoenix eyes.

Xuanyuan Liumu smiled bitterly, she had indeed sent someone to spy on him.

"Empress, you worry too much. Your son and little sister Qing Yao have been very close since childhood, but I wish to spend some more time with little sister Qing Yao. As for what happened at the Residence of Prime Minister today, I truly appreciate it."

The empress sneered, "Appreciate it?"

"Your Highness also knows that I love pleasure so much that I've become addicted to it. Qing Qing and my sister's music skills are exquisite. Your son is only seeking advice, nothing more."

"It's good that you don't have that intention. What is her identity? The daughter of a fireworks woman is not completely innocent. I'm just afraid that you would be enchanted by her seductive appearance. Be careful not to get too close to her in the future. "

"This son will remember."

I'll find someone to teach you martial arts, and I'll teach you zither, calligraphy, poetry, poetry, poetry. I'll also look for a master to teach you the music that you like. I can make you lose your reputation for the rest of your life, and Mu Er, you better not disappoint me.

Xuanyuan Liumu's heart froze for a moment before he quickly said, "Empress, don't worry. Liumu will definitely not disappoint you."

The empress smiled. "Alright, you should go see your mufei."

Xuanyuan Liumu was neither humble nor arrogant, he said, "Your son shall take his leave."

After Xuanyuan Liumu left, the empress clapped her hands and a man dressed in black clothes flew down from the roof.

"Tell the Fourth Prince's words to my little sister in detail, don't worry about her."

"Yes."

The man quietly left the palace.

Xuanyuan Liumu, the person whom she had personally trained, was becoming more and more out of her control. However, as long as he had the desire, he would not be able to escape her grasp. Also … The empress looked into the distance. The Yufei was one of Xuanyuan Liumu's weak points.

Xuanyuan Liumu walked within the palace. He could not say a single word to the empress.

He was very grateful for what she had taught him, but the feeling of being controlled was very uncomfortable. Furthermore, she was holding on to his weak spot.

There was no helping it, the empress had too much power. Her father was the current general, and he held the most military power. Her sister was the prime minister's wife, and in the entire imperial court, the empress had no rival.

Soon, he arrived at the storage palace, where his mother's concubine lived.
