"But from now on, there will probably be no peaceful days in the DPRK..."
Shen Moran sighed. From today on, there will be big changes in the North Korean and Chinese armies. It is their time, but at the same time, their escape route is blocked. Once you step in, you must move forward bravely and not retreat. .
"Don't worry about others. Just live your life well with His Highness King Zhan. As long as you don't interfere with the government affairs, the wind and rain outside will not rain on you."
Shen Moran said worriedly: "Mom, I'm worried about you. Shen Panxing is a heartless person. There was something wrong with grandpa's family back then, and it has nothing to do with you. He made you drink poison for so many years. If something happens again, ...Mom, even if it’s for me, you will never compromise!”
At that time, the powerful people invaded the fertile land of the common people. The Du family was one of the many powerful people. They stayed in the dye vat for a long time and were not clean themselves. However, the Du family's fate was definitely the worst.
Shen Panxing stepped on the Du family and became prime minister.
Just thinking about these things makes Du's chest feel tight. She would have exchanged her Du family for Shen Panxing's current glory. If it weren't for her daughter, she might have broken up with Shen Panxing long ago.
"Mom is fine, don't worry. The one thing my mother can't let go of is you. Don't get involved and live well!"
As a beloved daughter, Mrs. Du knew that Shen Moran was arrogant and would definitely not be the Princess of Zhan. "With Sir Si's protection, as long as you don't get involved in the battle for the rightful son, you and Prince Zhan will be safe."
But King Lu's lesson is right in front of us. No matter whether we struggle or not, we must make a choice.
Shen Moran opened the curtain and looked outside. Among the people walking by, everyone's fate was different.
"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."
The most indispensable thing in the capital was the people watching the excitement. Someone had already spread the news that the palace was in trouble. Within half a day, rumors spread that the emperor was immoral and God sent fire as a warning.
Emperor Yao had not yet recovered from the fear of being assassinated, and became furious after hearing the rumors.
"Arrest all those untouchables who spread rumors!"
Si Yiluo was not around, so Wei Heyan just kept silent, then received the envoy and handed it over to the people below.
Shen Moran helped Zhou Zhan get out of the carriage and get on the carriage. Several figures ran past him and hid at the end of the alley. They were caught and dragged out by the Dongchang eunuchs who were chasing after them.
"The villain also listens to what others say. Please do a good job and spare the villain! There are seniors and juniors below, so nothing can happen to the villain..."
"Please, sir, give me a way to survive!"
"The villain didn't say anything, please forgive me!"
There was a lot of excitement in the streets. From the time they entered the city until now, they had seen about ten people being taken away. The couple looked at each other.
"Go home."
Zhou Zhan whispered to Yinyue: "Go and ask Mr. Su to come over."
Su Mu has filled the gap. Now he is staying in Beijing to supervise the censor. The Supervisory Yuan also has its own way of understanding the situation. Too many things have happened from last night to now, and everyone needs to sit together and analyze.
"Your Highness is tired, you all should go down."
Shen Moran asked Changying and Jiuer to send Du family back home. No one knew that the two of them slipped away halfway and went to Wuliu Lane to take away Liang's daughter Ma Juan.
When Bao Fan returned to his house, cleared his mind, and sent people to kill Ma Juan, the small courtyard had long been deserted. The hawkers setting up stalls on the street had been disrupted by the officers and soldiers arresting people all over the street. I closed my stall and hid at home, for fear of suffering an unexpected disaster.
There was no one on the street, and no one knew where Ma Juan had gone.
"Trash, it's all trash!"
Bao Fan was so angry that he threw everything in the room and sat down on the ground.
He was really finished. He could still find a way to fool Lin Qiu's confession. As long as Jin Yiwei couldn't find evidence, he could use his own power to accuse Jin Yiwei of making up random accusations.
With all his experience over the years, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat a yellow-haired girl!
If that didn't work, he could still blame Bo'an. The Ministry of War was under his jurisdiction. There was such a big commotion last night. Emperor Yao was the first to suspect him!
But he felt guilty, and the more pigtails he was caught with, the more guilty he felt.
"Someone, go and invite His Royal Highness Prince Yu!"
Su Mu came to the palace from the back door, and Yin Yue took him to the backyard, bypassing the spies lurking everywhere in the palace. The further he walked, the more wrong the expression on his face became.
"Your Highness, won't you meet me in the study?"
Yinyue pushed open the door of the master bedroom and stretched out her hand to guide.
Su Mu lifted up his robe and stepped across the threshold. Zhou Zhan was sitting behind the screen drinking tea. Shen Moran poured a cup for him and sat down next to him.
Su Mu considered it carefully and said: "Your Highness, the princess..."
Shen Moran looked at Zhou Zhan with a smile. Zhou Zhan coughed slightly and said, "It doesn't matter, we don't need to avoid the princess too much in our matters."
What he said was that there was no need to be too avoidant. Shen Moran raised her eyebrows lightly. It seemed that there were some things that she still had to avoid...but it didn't matter. She had things she wanted to avoid him anyway.
Su Mu secretly took a look at the beautiful Shen Moran, and wanted to advise him not to be blinded by her beauty. Due to Shen Moran's presence, he could not instigate the relationship between husband and wife in person, so he put aside some of his opinions for the time being. Don't mention it.
He only said: "The palace was on fire, and rumors spread in the capital, saying that the emperor was unkind and angered God, who sent down fire as a warning. The first time was at Lingyin Pavilion, the second time was next to Huguo Temple, and the third time was at the hunting ground in the western suburbs. They also said that if the warning is not raised this time, the next fire will be in the imperial city."
"Now the officials have just returned to the capital, and before I have time to write a memorial, the emperor has asked Dongchang to arrest people everywhere. Without investigating the cause and effect of the matter, he just arrests people at will. Is there any hidden secret in it?"
Su Mu couldn't understand. Whether these fires were natural disasters or man-made, there were no solutions. Why did they have to choose such an extreme way to solve them?
Zhou Zhan said in a deep voice: "Because my father was attacked by the Shenji Battalion on his way back to Beijing. The fire in the palace was also set by the rebels to create chaos."
"Rebels?" Su Mu was stunned, "King Min's remnant party? Aren't all King Min's faction dead at that time? If their remnants don't keep their tail between their legs and be good people, what are they going to do to cause trouble?"
Only a few people knew about Gong Xiyun's life experience, and because of the relationship between Shen Moran and Si Yiluo, Zhou Zhan happened to know it.
"King Min still has an heir living outside..."
"This matter has nothing to do with Bao Fan..."
Su Mu was shocked speechless by these two pieces of news. He needed to think about it.
…
"Father-in-law."
As soon as Zhou Yu returned to his house, Bao Fan sent someone to call him, thinking that something big had happened.
The study had been tidied up again. Bao Fan lit some incense and asked, "Are you familiar with this smell?"
This smell... Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat.
"It's ambergris, the spice that is always burned in the royal study. The spice in the father-in-law's house, is it a reward from the emperor?"
Ambergris comes from the southeastern coast. It was precious and scarce in the past few dynasties. Now, the imperial court has lifted the sea ban. Although this spice is expensive, it is not difficult to find, but most people dare not use it for fear of being feared by the royal family.
Bao Fan stroked his beard and chuckled: "The palace has given many valuable and hard-to-find spices, but it has never given ambergris. This spice was given by King Min when he was the crown prince..."
Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat again.
It is said that the rebels last night were the remnants of King Min. It is not a good choice to get involved with King Min at this time.
"King Min behaves badly. My father followed the way of heaven and ascended the throne to uphold orthodoxy. My father-in-law is a minister of my father. Even if ambergris is precious, my father-in-law should not keep it secretly..."
