Dayan Imperial City, Linhua Hall where the third prince’s biological mother, Concubine Shu, lives.

The chill is getting stronger in late autumn.

The flowers in the palace are blooming in full bloom, and fine smokeless charcoal fires are burning in the earth dragons, transmitting heat to the entire hall through the thick wool carpet on the ground.

Even if you are only wearing summer gauze, you will not feel the slightest chill when walking barefoot on the ground.

The details include pearls and jade ornaments and a dazzling array of Kit Kat toys, which is really rich and charming.

Although the owner of this imperial city, Zhou Wenrui, has been leading by example and advocating frugality for more than ten years.

It's a pity that he will most likely not set foot in the harem for several months, and naturally he won't be able to see these things when he comes.

In the specially enclosed warm pavilion in Linhua Hall, slightly frivolous pink gauze curtains fluttered.

A stunningly beautiful woman with a slightly plump body, almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, was covered in a bright red light silk dress, and she was reclining on a low couch covered with white deerskin.

The jade-white orchid finger put a peeled grape into his mouth.

There is no doubt that this person is the owner of Linhua Palace and the biological mother of the third prince, Concubine Shu Yuru.

She is obviously in her early thirties, and she could call herself an "old woman" if she were placed in a farmhouse.

But this well-maintained imperial concubine only has a mature and charming look.

Such a stunning beauty, even those castrated eunuchs cannot resist.

The two little eunuchs on the bed who were doing their best to serve her probably had the most say.

After a long time.

The blushing Concubine Shu sighed quietly:

"Sometimes, a man might as well have two courgettes!"

Bright eyes turned to the outside of the hall through the gauze curtain, and his words were filled with anger:

"That old dog Lu Jingde went out on business for many days, and he said he wanted to give me a big surprise when he came back.

You haven’t come back for so long, what a dishonest old dog you are!”

It was obvious that he was scolding, but his expression was like that of a young girl coquettishly treating her lover.

Obviously, the official Lu, who was willing to take risks in order to make her "happy", also held an extraordinary position in her heart.

Looking back at the two little eunuchs who had nothing good except for their pretty features, I suddenly felt that they were an eyesore, so I kicked them off the bed with my foot.

The little eunuch who didn't know how he had served him so poorly quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like he was pounding garlic:

"Your Majesty, please spare your life! My Majesty, please spare your life!"

Concubine Shu waved her hands impatiently:

"Go away quickly and go to Shang Baojian to see if Lu Neiguan is back!"

However, when the two young eunuchs who were amnesty just ran out of Nuan Pavilion holding their clothes, their bodies suddenly froze again.

Concubine Shu frowned and was about to open her mouth to curse, but her pupils suddenly shrank.

Phew! Phew!

Following two muffled sounds, two sharp sword points emerged from the backs of the two young eunuchs.

Immediately, there were screams of misery, sounds of running, and the sound of gold and iron clashing outside the palace.

"Ah! Don't kill me!"

"Spare my life!"

"."

Concubine Shu couldn't believe what she saw and heard. Before she could recover from her shock, she saw the gauze curtain in front of her being opened.

The two female [Tao soldiers] walked into the Nuan Pavilion unhurriedly. Not only did they not salute, but they glanced up and down her plump body like knives.

Noticing that her thin gauze clothes were more attractive than wearing nothing at all, Concubine Shu quickly grabbed the luxurious clothes beside the couch and draped them around her body haphazardly.

Seeing the blood dripping from their swords and the corpses of the two young eunuchs on the ground, Concubine Shu's heart welled up with anger, and her eyebrows stood up:

"Xuanhe Guards, how dare you kill people randomly in my palace?! You are so brave!"

The thirty-sixth battalion, [Xuanhe Camp], is all staffed by female guards, specifically responsible for protecting the harem.

They usually treated the imperial concubine respectfully, but Concubine Shu never expected that these guards would dare to kill people randomly in the Linhua Palace.

My chest, which was too full with anger, kept rising and falling.

However.

These guards ignored the imperial concubine's cries.

In her piercing scream, she killed all the maids and eunuchs in the Linhua Palace, even the two thrushes used for viewing.

After cleaning the palace as quickly as possible, he directly locked the Linhua Palace and locked the dull-looking Concubine Shu inside alone.

It also locked her wailing "I want to see Your Majesty! I want to see my son Jingliang!"

at the same time.

The sky above the entire Yunjing City seemed to be filled with a thick layer of dark clouds, making people almost breathless.

The emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is the center of the "Dragon Qi Law Ban" of the entire empire.

The weather above Yunjing City not only represents God's mood, but sometimes it may also be a barometer of the emperor's mood.

Just like now, Zhou Wenrui's mood is gloomier than the sky above Yunjing.

The eldest cousin Zhou Jinghuan is also one of the only three princes in this dynasty.

After several twists and turns, his memorial finally managed to bypass Xue Xiang and was delivered to Zhou Wenrui.

The first memorial written above made Emperor Jianming turn pale and almost want to vomit blood.

"Lu Jingde, you perverted and cowardly old dog, I will kill your entire family!

And Su Yuru, you are such a shameless woman, you are not a woman and you have insulted the royal family. If you had not given birth to the third emperor, I would have given you three feet of white silk and asked you to die to apologize!"

Zhou Wenrui is really not lewd.

But as a self-centered emperor, how can I bear this?

I don't have to pay the public food, but you can't steal food, even if you are a eunuch!

However, as long as no lives are involved, no matter how dirty the harem is, it will not shake the foundation of the dynasty's rule.

Zhou Wenrui was just ashamed of the scandal and put it aside after sending people to kill all the palace residents to prevent the scandal from spreading.

But the secret message that followed made him furious, and at the same time he felt deeply frightened.

Someone is spying on Dabao!

His reverse scale has been touched!

After reading the contents of the memorial over and over again, Zhou Wenrui's face gradually became clouded, and the cold wind squeezed out from between his teeth:

"Shui De Jiao Long! Xue Donglou is not only Shui De Jiao Dragon, but also the [Xiao Ming King] launched by the rebel thief Wu Sheng Dao!"

Xue Jiexi, Xue Jiexi, I really underestimated you.

You have been by my side for nearly thirty years, and you have hidden yourself so well!"

If Zhou Jinghuan had just talked nonsense in the memorial and simply poured dirty water on Xue Xiang, Zhou Wenrui would not have believed this son whom he did not like very much.

Even if there are countless evidences of corruption and bending the law, they may not take it to heart.

But the dialogue and shadow drawings between Monk Xing and Xue Donglou are also attached at the back.

Comparing these things with the memories buried deep in his heart, there were no flaws.

Zhou Wenrui's heart suddenly became cold.

"The reason why I ascended to the throne is actually because of the path of inanimate existence?!"

Slowly he raised his head and looked at the pair of carpentry axes and chisels hanging on the wall of the study. These pair of axes and chisels had been hanging on the wall since he ascended the throne, and they had been hanging there for fifteen years.

Ordinary palace people only thought that the emperor was sympathetic to the suffering of the people and wanted to understand the carpenter's work. No one paid attention to the ax and chisel that was completely inconsistent with the other furnishings.

Little did they know that this was the biggest reason why "Salesman Dragon" could successfully steal Mu Delong's scale coat!

In fact, at the beginning, there was no "Huang Zhuan Master" or even a "Red Seal Warlock" on the surface of the "Innocent Way".

He just keeps making suggestions behind Xue Jiexi's back.

The core of the theft plan was this pair of axes and chisels who had cut down countless trees.

Just like the butcher's body has evil spirits, and the general's body has murderous aura.

Dryads are also naturally afraid of carpenters and woodcutters who have killed countless others of their kind.

Once combined with the invincible [Art of Weary of Victory], even a blue dragon will be restrained.

[The Art of Weary of Victory] has been widely circulated among carpenters. Common folk fighting techniques such as fighting with each other, making bricks with filial piety, and burning dragon bones can be performed by ordinary people who have no knowledge of magic.

Just because this spell is one of the very few curse spells in the world that can harm noble people.
