Shen Qingzhou threw the wine bottle in his hand and raised his head. "How?"
"Prime Minister, my lady's return to Beijing is for you." He Gu looked at Shen Qingzhou nervously, his voice low.
"At today's banquet, keep an eye on the dancer from the Western Regions." Shen Qingzhou changed the subject, obviously not wanting to mention it.
Chaoyang came back for him, how could he not know.
If Chaoyang can knock him down, it means Chaoyang has enough ability to protect himself...
He can also feel at ease.
"Yes!" He Gu nodded.
He will keep an eye on that woman and protect her.
"He Gu..." Shen Qingzhou leaned weakly on the tree trunk, his voice hoarse. "Don't let her know his life experience."
"Yes..." He Gu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He is just a shadow guard, only responsible for following orders.
"Let your people keep an eye on Xifeng. Has he been acting strange recently?"
After suppressing the laziness in his eyes, Shen Qingzhou's air pressure began to condense.
"Master went to the Western Regions not long ago." Under the guise of a border mission, he actually went to the Western Regions.
Shen Qingzhou moved his fingers slightly and went to the Western Region...
Xifeng's heart was no longer on the same line as him long ago.
"Please step back."
After He Gu left, Shen Qingzhou stood up and looked at the place under the pear tree, his eyes getting deeper and deeper.
"Come here! Dig this place up..."
Shen Qingzhou finally suspected something.
…
Fengtian, Imperial Palace.
Chaoyang residence. "Princess, you are back."
When the maid saw Chaoyang coming back, she lowered her head nervously.
Chaoyang pretended to be panicked and held on to the door frame, breathing rapidly. "You go down first and don't let anyone disturb you..."
The maid glanced nervously at Chaoyang, her face flushed, and she knew something was wrong. "Yes..."
Lowering her head and leaving quickly, the maid made a gesture to the eunuch in the corner.
The eunuch smiled triumphantly, turned around and went out to meet the commander of the imperial army. "Master Jing, the queen was attacked and there was an assassin in the palace!"
Jing Li was stunned for a moment, and sure enough he saw a dark shadow flashing past Yikun Palace.
There are so many forbidden troops in the palace, but assassins can actually be allowed into the palace?
Without any time to think, Jing Li quickly took action and chased the black figure towards the other side of the garden.
The eunuch sneered, turned and left.
"Go and tell your Majesty that everything is going according to plan."
After luring Jing Li to Chaoyang's residence, the queen used the excuse of catching an assassin...
The news that Princess Chaoyang had an affair with the commander of the imperial army in the palace spread widely.
When the time comes, let’s see how Princess Chaoyang still has the nerve to stay in the palace.
The emperor of Dayu would even depose his queen because of his face and reputation...
…
Prince Yu's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, you have just applied medicine to your injury, where are you going?" Suzaku followed nervously out, not knowing where Xiao Chengen was going at such a late hour.
"No need to follow." Xiao Chengen held the wound and walked to the forbidden area in the backyard.
Once upon a time, Wan'er was the mistress of the palace and kept the palace in good order. Now... without the mistress, the palace seems a bit depressed and desolate.
"Your Majesty, the young master is asleep." The little guy is raised in the backyard of the palace and is taken care of by a special nanny and wet nurse.
"You guys go out first." Sitting beside the bed, Xiao Chengen glanced at the sleeping little guy.
It's the size of a palm, so small, but it's actually strong enough to survive.
Without saying anything, Xiao Chengen lay half-lying on the couch tiredly.
Just because of this little guy, Qingluan almost died.
"Little thing, you are really lucky." Xiao Chengen's mood was a little complicated when his fingers gently touched his son's face.
He never thought that one day he would become a father...
After all, his father's identity did not have a good impression on him.
When he first married Wan'er, he was not only afraid of the Su family, but he was also not prepared to be a father.
He asked someone to secretly add anti-child medication to Wan'er's decoction because he didn't want to have a child too early.
But Xiao Chengen has always known that only Wan'er is qualified to give birth to his child...
He smiled bitterly, fate is playing tricks on people.
He failed to keep Wan'er, and he also failed to keep Qingluan.
He loves Wan'er as a childhood sweetheart, but his love for Wan'er is not pure.
Not only did he take advantage of Wan'er...
After losing his memory, he also fell in love with Qingluan...
But he couldn't respond to Qingluan, let alone accept that there was someone else in his heart besides Wan'er.
"Your Majesty..."
Outside the door, there were secret guards looking for him.
His eyes darkened, and Xiao Chengen stood up.
Before leaving, I took one more look at the little guy.
Can he...be a qualified father?
Shaking his head, Xiao Chengen didn't have much confidence in himself.
He didn't know what a qualified father should do.
"How is she?" Xiao Chengen asked in a low voice after carefully closing the door.
"Miss Qingluan is recovering well and is now being fostered by Princess Chaoyang in the Mu family. Everything is going well."
Xiao Chengen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she could live well.
From now on, even if people are separated from each other at the end of the world, they can never see each other and forget about each other.
In this way, it will be the best result for Qingluan and him.
"She...should hate me." Xiao Chengen asked a little bitterly.
The secret guard lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.
"That's fine..."
Xiao Chengen smiled.
"Your Majesty, someone assassinated the Sixth Prince again last night. If we hadn't discovered it in time..." the secret guard changed the subject.
"Neither Xiao Junze's people nor Shen Qingzhou's people will let Lao Liu live, because the late emperor's edict... is true." At first, Xiao Chengen also doubted the authenticity of the late emperor's edict.
But Shen Qingzhou and Xiao Junze were so impatient to take action against the Sixth Prince, which made Xiao Chengen even more convinced that the imperial edict was true.
As long as he holds the imperial edict and elects Lao Liu as emperor, his goal can be considered achieved.
As long as it's not Xiao Junze, he has no problem with whoever becomes emperor.
"There is a secret message from the palace, it is from His Majesty." Outside the backyard, another secret guard quickly approached and spoke in a low voice.
Xiao Chengen was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.
Xiao Junze’s secret letter?
What is he doing with me?
Reaching out to take the secret letter, Xiao Chengen had already guessed half of it.
But Xiao Chengen didn't expect that Xiao Junze would condescend to him and plan to cooperate with him to deal with Shen Qingzhou?
Xiao Junze, who had always looked down on him and disdained his peers, actually wanted to cooperate with him one day.
His fingers slowly tightened, and the secret letter in his hand was crushed.
Xiao Junze, Xiao Junze, he also has today...
Obviously, Shen Qingzhou's power is too difficult to shake, otherwise how could Xiao Junze think of him.
"In that case, it doesn't matter if we cooperate first." Cooperate with Xiao Junze to get rid of Shen Qingzhou first.
At least, it can guarantee that the Xiao family will not change its owner or change its surname.
"Reply to Xiao Junze. If you want to cooperate, you can ask Lao Liu to return to the palace. If anything goes wrong with Minyan, I will not let him go." The most dangerous place is the safest.
Letting Xiao Minyan enter the palace is the best way to check and balance Xiao Junze and Shen Yunrou.
In the palace, countless pairs of eyes of the courtiers were staring at him. Shen Qingzhou would never be so unscrupulous.
"yes!"
…
Imperial Palace, Changchun Villa.
Jing Li was introduced into the inner courtyard and watched the man in black disappear before his eyes.
Looking around with cold eyes, Jing Li opened the door and entered the room.
There are very few people living in this villa on weekdays. Unless there are important guests from outside the palace, this villa will be vacated.
The light in the room was a little dim, and the temperature was a little higher than outside.
