Hearing his wife's words, Ning Zhengzhong's expression changed.

regret?

He must have regretted it.

When Chen Mo became the son-in-law of Zhenxihou, he regretted it.

Now, Zhenxihou is the King of Zhenxi. He has added nine xi, his swords and shoes to the palace, and he does not go to the court, and he controls most of the entire Chu State's army. He is a regent. I can see that Zhenxihou will go further sooner or later.

As the son-in-law of Zhenxihou, Chen Mo was also Mo Beihou. He controlled the remaining army of Chu and the power of the entire Chu State was in the hands of the two.

If he hadn't said such a terrible thing at the beginning, as Yuelan and Yuelu's father, he would definitely be indispensable for high-ranking officials and generous salaries to go to the capital.

However, in front of his wife, Ning Zhengzhong would definitely not show regret. Instead, he said: "I was also for Yuelan's good. At that time, Chen Mo was a poor boy, and even a servant of our Ning family. He had no place to live. Can I agree to be with Yuelan?"

Liu gave Ning Zhengzhong a blank look and said, "When you were demoted to the capital, Mr. Chen Mo had already gained a firm foothold in the capital and was trusted by His Majesty. Why didn't you know how to ease the relationship at that time?"

"It was because of him that I was demoted. I asked me to bow my head to him. How could this be possible?" Ning Zhengzhong became a little anxious as he said that.

Liu and Ning Zhengzhong have been together for decades. Why didn’t they know what kind of person their husband was? They stopped irritating him, but said, “What about now, I have been hiding in this small mountain village and will not go back?”

Ning Zhengzhong was speechless. He knew that once he went back, wouldn’t it be like bowing his head and slapping himself in the face?

But it was a bit too frustrating to not go back and hide here all the time.

Seeing Ning Zhengzhong's appearance, Liu smiled and said, "Fortunately, when Yuelan got married, I went to attend and did not completely disconnect from the contact. Then I came forward. For the sake of Yuelan and Yuelu, you admit your mistake. I think he is also a generous person. Maybe this matter will be over..."

"Let me recognize him..." Ning Zhengzhong originally wanted to be stubborn, but in the end he didn't say it, saying, "You... aren't you still in contact with Yuelan and the others? Write... and write a letter to them and say you miss them."

Liu: “…”

...

Capital, Yong'an Palace.

It was noon, and the eyes were bright and the hall was bright. Sometimes the cold wind of winter came into the hall from the window. The tassels on the curtains moved with the wind, and charcoal fires were generated in the hall, suppressing the cold air of winter.

Empress Dowager Zhang wore a purple long dress, her beautiful black hair was tied up with a phoenix hairpin. Her charming face was shining with white light, and her red lips were round and cherry-like luster and sweet smell. She hugged Emperor Yuan of Jin, who was less than four years old, and her whole body was full of mature style and maternal aura.

As the biological mother of Emperor Yuan of Jin, Concubine Zhang was Zunfeng as the queen mother. She naturally moved to the Yong'an Palace where the queen mother lived, and since then, she has never seen Chu Yannan again.

She is more realistic than the concubines in the harem. Although she gave birth to a son for Chu Yannan, her feelings for Chu Yannan are not as deep as Xiao Yunxi.

In her heart, Chu Rongnan was just a support.

Now that this reliance is useless, there is no need for her to please her again.

Her eyes drooped down at the woman kneeling down and said, "Shi Xin is the younger brother of the Ai family. If he can save him, even if you don't tell me, the Ai family will save him. But now Shi Xin has been designated as a treacherous minister by the court and will be beheaded on a date, and the Ai family has no choice."

Zhang Shixin's wife Zhao said, "Isn't there any more of Your Majesty? Queen Mother, please let Your Majesty issue an order. Could it be that the King of Zhenxi and others would not even give him this face?"

Emperor Yuan of Jin was wearing a loose dragon robe and looked at Zhang with a childish look on his face. There was a hint of curiosity in his innocent little eyes, wondering that she was so big and still cried.

He stopped crying when he was three years old.

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, raised her hand, and waited for the palace maids beside him to come and take Emperor Yuan of Jin. Then she said, "It's all a family, so the Ai family will tell you the truth. The decree issued by the court recently has never asked the Ai family and Your Majesty. Even the jade seal of the country is not in the hands of Your Majesty. The Ai family and Your Majesty cannot even leave the inner city of the palace. For the King of Zhenxi, Your Majesty is just a decoration and cannot issue any orders. The court did not implicate the entire Zhang family, just for the sake of Your Majesty..."

Zhao's face changed: "Empress Dowager, is there no way to do it? If Shi Xin is gone, what should I do with my children..."

Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head.

A brief silence fell into the palace.

After a while, Zhao said, "Empress Dowager, can you ask the Marquis of Mo Bei?"

"Mr. Mo Beihou." Empress Dowager Zhang's beautiful eyes narrowed: "The Ai family has never had contact with him, and why do they want us? What can we give him?"

"The money, the Ai family can give him all the money hidden by Shixin." Zhao said.

Zhao followed Zhao Shixin early on, and it can be said that the relationship between the two is very deep.

"Shi Xin hid the silver?" Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes frowned.

Zhao nodded: "Shi Xin told me that this is to hide a million in the plum garden of Heqingguan just in case. Once he has something to do, he says that this money can give me a good life with the children."

"Shixin trusts Ji, but with this little money, I'm afraid he can't even buy him."

Empress Dowager Zhang thought for a while and said, "The Ai family cannot leave the palace. This is how you go out of the palace to find out what he likes, and we will give it to his preferences."

...

Princess's Mansion.

Chen Mo has been very busy these days, so busy that he has no time to push and pick lotus seeds.

As the commander of the Tianshi Army, he has to decide on all matters in the army.

Especially when he was in the North, he promised to divide the fields of the Tianshi Army. Now it is time to fulfill it.

In addition to military affairs, there are also court affairs.

For example, the appointment and removal of officials, tax issues, and rewards from heroes.

The King of Zhenxi wants to discuss with him.

The next is the imperial examination.

When Chu Jinnan was still in power, due to rebellion in various places and the emptiness of the treasury, the imperial examination was temporarily suspended in the first year of Xiangxing. Now that the new emperor ascended the throne, he naturally recovered.

And rebellion...

That's right, shortly after the new emperor ascended the throne, some places killed officials and rebelled under the banner of injustice for Chu Yannan.

Because in order to resist Zhenxihou, Chu Yannan transferred all the soldiers from all over the country to the capital, which made the local defense extremely weak. Some people with ulterior motives took the opportunity to commit crimes and countless thieves.

These things are piled up together, and Chen Mo is too busy to do anything. How could he have time to do other things?

This also made Chen Mo determined not to be the emperor.

He couldn't stand it now.

If you become the emperor, you will be very busy.

He is just a enjoyment pie, and isn't this going to take his life?
