"This is too outrageous! How could I be the descendant of the Witch Queen?" Sheng Zhiyao shook her head, this rumor was really outrageous.

Sheng Hanmo smiled: "I know you cannot be the descendant of the Witch Queen. If you are, then I must be too."

"Yes! This kind of rumor is really nonsense, it's just like nonsense."

"Yes! But have you ever thought about how this rumor spread?"

Sheng Zhiyao was stunned. She really had never thought about this problem.

"You have been targeted, and it is obviously targeted." Sheng Hanmo's face also turned gloomy.

Sheng Zhiyao's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and a sense of vigilance rose in her heart. What on earth is going on?

"Zhiyao, does that Zi Chu have a crush on Feng Yuanchen?" Mr. Sheng looked at her with worry in his eyes.

"Grandpa, how do you know?" Sheng Zhiyao was surprised.

"It seems that what I guessed is true." Old Marquis Sheng sighed: "This Zi Chu is the most favored princess of Emperor Xi Chu. Xi Chu can let her come and get married if she doesn't want to. No one can force her."

"Grandpa, I feel like this Zi Chu is very familiar with Concubine Qi. Isn't this a bit strange?" Sheng Zhiyao asked in confusion.

"It's really strange. Could it be that they have reached some kind of agreement on their marriage."

"Is it possible that they want brother Yuan Chen to marry Zi Chu, so that he will lose the qualification to ascend the throne?"

"We cannot rule out this possibility. After all, the Qi family is already very powerful in the palace. In addition, she also has a second prince and Feng Yuanqing. These people are probably discussing how to get rid of Yuan Chen together, right?"

Lord Sheng said.

"If that's the case, what should we do now? Should we help brother Yuan Chen?"

"How to help? You are not yet old enough to have hairpins, and Zi Chu and Yuan Chen are both of marriageable age. If you intervene now, you will attract other people's attention." Mr. Sheng shook his head.

After hearing what Mr. Sheng said, Sheng Zhiyao had no choice but to give up her plan this time.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Sheng Hanmo stood up and walked to the door, opening the door to the room.

After seeing the person coming, his eyes lit up: "Why are you back?"

"What, can't you go home?" The person came, dressed in black and wearing a mask, looking a little strange.

"How could it be possible? Come in quickly." Sheng Hanmo quickly reached out and held him.

The man in black stepped in, closed the door of the room and knelt down to the old marquis. Mr. Sheng watched the man in black take off his mask.

"Hancheng? Why are you back?" Mr. Sheng quickly helped him up.

"Grandpa, it was Yuan Chen who asked me to come back first."

When Sheng Hanmo heard this, he immediately reacted and asked quickly: "Did you encounter danger?"

"No, brother, don't be nervous, Yuan Chen is just afraid of his sister..." Sheng Hancheng said and glanced at Sheng Zhiyao.

"What are you afraid of me for? Are you afraid that I will be angry? Are you jealous?" Sheng Zhiyao raised her eyebrows.

When Sheng Hancheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Yes, he was afraid that Zi Chu would come to Beijing and tell you nonsense, and he was also afraid that you wouldn't believe what he said, so he asked me to come back and give you the message personally."

"So that's it." Sheng Zhiyao's tone was full of sarcasm: "Is this a guilty conscience?"

Sheng Hancheng smiled bitterly, this girl is really not easy to mess with, and quickly explained: "Zhiyao, you don't have to think too much, Yuan Chen is afraid that you will be wronged."

"I don't need him to worry." Sheng Zhiyao snorted coldly.

"Zhiyao, what's wrong with you? You don't really believe what Zi Chu said, do you?" Sheng Hanmo said with some worry. At this time, he really didn't want his sister to be taken advantage of by others.

"Of course not, there is no need. A man who can be snatched away by anyone is not what I, Sheng Zhiyao, need." Sheng Zhiyao snorted coldly and turned away.

When Sheng Hancheng saw his sister's appearance, he didn't dare to speak. He couldn't guarantee whether his words would offend this girl, so now he could only remain silent.

"Hancheng, where is Yuan Chen now?" Lord Sheng asked.

"The emperor issued an urgent decree to summon him back to the capital. I believe he will be able to enter the capital soon!"

When Mr. Sheng heard this, he nodded slightly: "Well, that's good."

Sheng Hancheng smiled and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine, and I came back with great merit this time."

Old Marquis Sheng nodded: "Silly boy, you can come back safely this time. Grandpa is already very happy. Grandpa doesn't care whether you have merit or not. Let grandpa have a good time."

"Okay!" Sheng Hancheng smiled and turned around, but he did not dare to let his grandfather know that he almost lost his life on the battlefield. That would be a very embarrassing thing.

"Are you injured?"

"No, just a little skin injury."

"That won't work. I'll ask Zhiyao to take a look at it when I get up tomorrow."

"Yes, Grandpa obeys."

"That's pretty much it. Will you gain anything from going to the battlefield this time?"

Sheng Hancheng chuckled: "I went to the battlefield and found that the soldiers of our Shangzhou Dynasty are really powerful in combat, especially the cavalry. General Fu is very powerful in both combat and tactics."

"Then have you learned anything?" Mr. Sheng asked with a smile.

"Yes, I have kept in mind what General Fu taught me. Now I am just waiting for the opportunity. I am ready to apply what I have learned to my battlefield." Sheng Hancheng said with firm eyes.

"Well, that's good. It's great to have you after Shang Zhou Dynasty!" Mr. Sheng patted him and Sheng Hanmo on the shoulders with satisfaction.

Sheng Hancheng's face suddenly turned red and he lowered his head in embarrassment. Sheng Hanmo was much calmer.

"Okay, Hancheng, take a good rest tonight and see your parents again tomorrow."

"Yes, grandpa." Sheng Hancheng agreed, and then withdrew.

After he left, Mr. Sheng turned to Sheng Zhiyao and said, "Zhiyao, you should rest early. Since Yuan Chen is back, we will meet and discuss it."

"I understand, Grandpa, then I'm going to have a rest. You should rest early." Sheng Zhiyao nodded and then left.

Sheng Hancheng returned to his courtyard, took off his coat and lay down on the bed. He had been rushing back in the past few days because he was afraid that his sister would be wronged. However, today it seemed that his sister was very calm and did not care about Zi Chu.

He felt that either Sheng Zhiyao hadn't figured it out yet, or she really didn't care, or Feng Yuanchen was too nervous.

The next day, early in the morning, a carriage drove from a distance. There was a man sitting in the carriage. He was wearing a brocade robe and fine clothes and looked cold and aloof.

In the carriage, he seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, and the whole carriage was quiet.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from the window and lifted the curtain.

The man's strange pupils opened instantly, and he glanced out the window.

A group of guards galloped towards us on horseback.

The carriage stopped three feet away from them. The guards dismounted and surrounded the carriage in the center, blocking the way.
