"Huh?" The hidden guard thought he heard wrong and looked at Wei Qing in puzzlement.
"If I tell you to go, then go." Wei Qing scolded in annoyance.
"Yes." The guard accepted the order and hurriedly followed the horse carriage.
These secret guards were nothing more than scum. Talking to them properly, they all seemed to have hearing problems. If you scolded them loudly, you would be able to understand what they were saying.
Wei Qing gasped for breath and looked at Zhu Er, "Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Zhu Er nodded.

The Dark Guard followed Jin Qiao’er all the way to the Tai Fu Mansion. Before the carriage even stopped, Jin Qiao’er was about to alight.
He quickly went to his mother's room in Liu's, and the moment he entered, he dismissed everyone.
Because Jin Qiao’er was pregnant, the days of the Liu's in the Tai Fu Mansion had become extremely popular.
"Qiao Er, what's wrong with you? Which blind person is angering you again? " Liu's asked with concern.
Jin Qiao’er's mouth opened, and suddenly grabbed Liu's's hand.
The ice-cold feeling in his hand caused Liu's to be stunned for a moment. "Qiao Er, is the crown prince not attaching importance to you?"
If not for Jin Qiao’er's identity as a concubine, she would not have only had a single Crown Prince's Consort!
Liu's was unwilling at times, but what could he do about it? He could only wait and see.
"Mom, I'm not pregnant at all!"
After saying this, not only was Liu's's face filled with shock, even the hidden guards eavesdropping on the rooftop had an expression of disbelief.
Jin Qiao’er was not actually pregnant, how was that possible?
Liu's anxiously removed her clenched hands and rushed to the door. She quickly opened the door and looked outside to confirm that there was indeed no one around, then she quickly said: "The imperial doctors said that you are pregnant, why are you … …"
"Slow down."
Jin Qiao’er's face was burnt, "Mother, what do we do? If we were to be discovered, will I get poisoned and given the poison wine?"
Liu's looked at Jin Qiao’er, who was completely frightened by her, with a face full of tender affection. She carried her in her arms, patted Jin Qiao’er's back, and slowly comforted her emotions.
"Qiao Er, no matter what, you are pregnant!"
Jin Qiao’er was confused, she raised her eyes and looked at Liu's.
Liu's's face was solemn, "It is true that you are pregnant, and it is also true that you are a small child!"
That was the only way!
"But mother, those imperial doctors are also not just people who have nothing to eat. If the crown prince were to find out, I'm afraid that I would never be able to turn the tables in the future!" As Jin Qiao’er spoke, her tears rolled down, looking really pitiful.
"Qiao Er, listen to me, I'm your mother, I definitely won't harm you!"
Right now, he had to find a suitable opportunity to find a suitable scapegoat, and this matter could be covered up. As long as the heavens knew and the earth knew, this matter would definitely not be exposed.
Liu's lowered her voice and whispered a few words to Jin Qiao’er, letting her see if she could find a suitable scapegoat.
Jin Qiao’er suddenly thought of Wei Qing and An Jing, her eyes revealing a ruthless light.
When the guard heard this, he was enraged. However, he did not want to alert the enemy, so he quickly flew away.
Wei Qing was playing chess with Prime Minister Wei, and he did not think much of the matter of the Old Emperor telling the Tutor to accompany him to investigate the assassin.
Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Old Emperor was simply suppressing this matter.
Seeing that the secret guard appeared, Prime Minister Wei frowned, "Do you need me to retreat?"
Wei Qing pursed her lips, "Father, what are you saying?"
There were some things that could be avoided by his father, but there were some things that were not necessary at all.
"What did you find out?" Wei Qing lifted her teacup and took a bite.
After hearing the secret guard say that Jin Qiao’er was not pregnant at all, the Prime Minister Wei choked on his tea and coughed for a while, before asking, "What did you say just now? Are you kidding me? "
Wei Qing raised her eyebrow, "Last time when I checked her pulse, I already knew that she was faking it, but I didn't expect her to expose it so quickly."
Wei Qing nodded, "Could it be that my master is just a decoration?"
Mentioning Chen Yang, Prime Minister Wei's face showed some displeasure, but at the same time, he returned to normal.
"What else did you hear? Do they have any plans? " Wei Qing asked again.
The secret guard told Wei Qing everything he heard, and upon hearing that, Prime Minister Wei's face became cold, "Hmph, this Old Man Jin, I won't lower myself to him, it seems like I'm afraid of him! You actually want to scheme against my darling! "
Wei Qing had a face full of thought. Last time, she and Jin Qiao’er could be considered to be at loggerheads, and on top of that, Xiao Hanqi's conflict with her had already reached its boiling point. Since Jin Qiao’er wanted to pull her down as her scapegoat, then, she would naturally go all out.
"Father, you don't have to worry about this matter. I already have a plan."
Hearing this, the Prime Minister Wei's face was full of worry. "Qing`er, if we poke the empress dowager with this, she'll definitely be unable to refute us."
"What's the point?" A tinge of chilliness flashed past Wei Qing's eyes, and a sly smile surfaced on the corner of her mouth.
The guard was silent for a moment. "Princess, should we tell the prince about this?"
"No need."
"But …"
"Don't tell me my orders are too numerous to count?" Wei Qing's face immediately darkened.
The dark guard said no more.

After being comforted by Liu's, Jin Qiao’er's emotions had completely stabilized.
The sky was getting darker. It was time for her to return to the Crown Prince's Palace.
Liu's reluctantly sent her on the carriage, then patted her hand meaningfully.
"Mom, don't worry. I definitely won't make any mistakes."
The Liu's nodded and indicated for the carriage to leave.
Inside the horse carriage, Jin Qiao’er tightly clenched her fists.
Wei Qing had made her feel bad over and over again, the Prince Chu had suppressed the crown prince time and time again, she wanted to use this opportunity to get everything she had!
Halfway to the carriage, he heard three to five women gathered together and gossiping.
"Do you know? "The concubine of Boss Liu pretended to be pregnant in order to win the favor of his wife, and upon being discovered by her, she was on the verge of tearing her skin out!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for Jin Qiao’er to hear her clearly.
She couldn't help but shiver, and her expression turned ugly.
"This is nothing. And Boss Wang's two sons stole the family's property. They did all they could. They only need a bag of arsenic to send Boss Wang and his wife directly to heaven!"
… ….
He didn't know whether it was due to her guilt or not, but Jin Qiao’er kept having the feeling that they were all talking about her. When the horse carriage left, she lifted the carriage's curtain and peeked her head out.
