Shen Qingzhou walked straight in, his tall body exuding a strong sense of oppression, making the people inside shudder.
"You don't want to eat again?" Shen Qingzhou asked lightly, as if he was scolding him.
But it was indeed a strong threat in the other party's ears.
The woman whose neck was chained was trembling all over. When she saw Shen Qingzhou, she felt like she was seeing the devil from hell.
"Ali, do you want to die?" Shen Qingzhou sat aside and trapped the frightened woman with nowhere to hide. "Your daughter is back, don't you want to see her? Or... don't want her to
Will you survive?"
Chaoyang, Chaoyang, is the meaning of hope.
His Ah Li was really considerate of this illegitimate daughter of unknown origin.
"Shen Qingzhou, kill me!" The woman's voice was hoarse, and she looked at Shen Qingzhou weakly and horrified.
She was once the number one killer in the Western Region, she was never afraid, she even had no soul...
She had killed people without blinking an eye, and her hands were stained with countless blood, but who would have thought that now her eyes would be full of panic and fear.
Shen Qingzhou is a madman, but he was also a very powerful person.
"Kill you?" Shen Qingzhou grabbed the woman's chin forcefully and threatened with a smile. "How could I be willing to let you die?"
"Shen Qingzhou, you are so pathetic..." The woman smiled, but her smile was weak. "In the future, you will definitely regret it. You will regret everything you did now..."
Shen Qingzhou's anger became more and more intense. He pressed the woman down hard and spoke word by word. "Even if I regret it, you must stay with me, laugh with me, cry with me..."
The woman didn't speak, her body was shaking to the point of losing all strength.
She raised Chaoyang, she knew her daughter too well, for her, for her to survive...
Chaoyang will do whatever it takes.
If she lives, she will become a burden to Chaoyang.
Only if she dies can her daughter be free and leave here.
Chaoyang does not belong to Fengtian or anyone else.
She should leave here, leave this hell completely.
…
The main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xiao Junze sat with a somewhat depressed tone. Is Shen Qingzhou trying to intimidate him?
"Your Majesty, Princess, our adults are not feeling well..." The housekeeper kept wiping his sweat nervously.
Xiao Junze didn't get angry and raised his eyebrows. "It doesn't matter."
Shen Qingzhou was once a legendary figure in Fengtian. There was only one woman in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's wife. Later, the Prime Minister's wife passed away and no other woman was born, leaving only Shen Yunrou, a legitimate daughter, who was doted on by Shen Qingzhou and became the apple of his eye.
Chaoyang and her poor, unworthy mother are the blemishes on Shen Qingzhou's image of being incorruptible and infatuated. She is a low-class maiko who doesn't even deserve her status.
"The princess is thirsty, this tea..." Xiao Junze glanced sideways at Chaoyang, obviously deliberately bullying Chaoyang.
Chaoyang picked up the teacup and took a sip, confirming that it was not poisonous. "Your Highness, is he willing to drink the tea Chaoyang drank? What if the outer edge of this teacup is also poisonous..."
Chaoyang looked at Xiao Junze deeply, and the two of them whispered in their ears, competing with each other.
See who is disgusting and who is disgusting.
Xiao Junze's eyes darkened, and he reached out to take the cup in Chaoyang's hand and took a sip, deliberately teasing him. "Why not? I even know the several cinnabar moles and birthmarks on the princess's body clearly. I need to know them one by one."
Tell me?"
"Pa!" Chaoyang stood up suddenly, his whole body and fingers trembling.
On their wedding night, everything Xiao Junze did to Chaoyang was a nightmare that Chaoyang would never get rid of.
Xiao Junze knew that Chaoyang was afraid, and a smile appeared on his face again. This woman still wanted to fight him, she was a little too young.
"Prince, Princess, I have kept you waiting for a long time." When Shen Qingzhou came, his face was pale and he coughed softly, as if he was really ill and couldn't see anyone.
The housekeeper supported Shen Qingzhou, and both of them performed well.
Chaoyang clenched her hands nervously, knowing that Shen Qingzhou definitely had a purpose in calling her back today.
"Father is not feeling well and we are disturbing you." Chaoyang lowered his voice and spoke.
"Have you had a meal?" Shen Qingzhou asked lightly and motioned to the people around him to serve the food. "Since we are going back today, let's have a meal together at home."
Xiao Junze glanced at Shen Qingzhou coldly. The old fox acted casually, as if he really regarded him as a family member.
There is no difference between the king and his ministers at all.
"Father, we have all eaten." Chaoyang subconsciously said, he could not stay to eat.
The more Shen Qingzhou behaved like this, the more chilled she felt.
Shen Qingzhou raised his eyes to look at Chaoyang and said lightly, "Are you afraid?"
Chaoyang took a breath of cold air, Shen Qingzhou actually didn't hide it?
Looking sideways at Xiao Junze, the two of them were at war with each other.
Compared with Shen Qingzhou, Xiao Junze still looks a little immature and impatient now.
Chaoyang had also heard about it for a long time. He heard that Shen Qingzhou helped His Majesty get rid of the eldest grandson's family and completely became enemies with Xiao Junze. It was because of this... that Shen Qingzhou tried his best to bring down Xiao Junze.
"Afraid?" Xiao Junze laughed disdainfully, lowered his head and gently drank the hot tea in the tea cup.
"The prince and your majesty are the most alike. It's no wonder that your majesty prefers the prince." Shen Qingzhou said meaningfully and spoke again. "It's a pity that the prince doesn't know your father."
Xiao Junze clenched the tea cup in his hand hard, and the air pressure condensed.
"Stay here for dinner, don't you miss your mother?" Shen Qingzhou didn't even bother to act with a young boy like Xiao Junze. Since Emperor Long already knew Chaoyang's identity, Xiao Junze naturally knew it too.
This morning, Emperor Long deliberately kept him here, and the meaning behind his words was already very clear.
Their long-standing relationship as king and minister was so shattered because of an eldest grandson's family.
Emperor Long is an old fox. He also had selfish motives when he deposed Xiao Junze as the crown prince.
The Changsun family cannot be revived, as deposing the crown prince will completely break the hearts of the fugitives of the Changsun family.
Chaoyang's breathing was shaky and she stared at Shen Qingzhou nervously. Since he didn't want to act anymore, she had no need to pretend. "Prime Minister, return my mother to Chaoyang."
"Prime Minister, you are as good as ever...I admire you. You are Junze's good teacher. A teacher for a day...a teacher for life." Xiao Junze smiled. Shen Qingzhou dared to be so unabashed, just to tell Xiao Junze
, Shen Qingzhou is not afraid of imperial power. Even Emperor Long can't do anything to him, so what can Xiao Junze do?
No matter who sits on that throne in the future, Shen Qingzhou's status under Fengtian cannot be shaken.
It's just that Xiao Junze's ascension to the throne will be more troublesome.
"Your Majesty has always been brooding over the death of Queen Changsun, but have you ever thought about who the real murderer is?" Shen Qingzhou knocked on the table and looked at Chaoyang with a deep look. "Before Queen Changsun died, she met Chaoyang's mother.
"
Chaoyang took a step back, trembling all over, and looked at Xiao Junze nervously. "My lord... don't believe his words."
Looking at Shen Qingzhou in panic, Chaoyang was a little confused. She didn't know what Shen Qingzhou meant. Why did he act like this suddenly? Did he want to separate her and Xiao Junze? Or did he hear some rumors?
Could it be that Prince Li's Mansion has Shen Qingzhou's spy?
"And Chaoyang's mother is from your father." Shen Qingzhou ignored Chaoyang's panic and said calmly.
