Xiao Wang closed his eyes, wiped his face carefully, and returned the veil to Xia Zhi, then looked at Chu Xingchen and suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the glass and mirrors on Dachu's side, but Qi and Wu need to pay more attention. I think synchronization may be better."
"It just so happens that I haven't been to Qi State and Wu State, so I want to take the opportunity to go and have a look."
Xiao Wang was a little disheartened, and the depression in his chest that he knew about Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan's consummation still couldn't be released.
He was afraid that he would really go crazy, so he decided to find an excuse to leave the palace for a while to calm down and find another way to find an antidote.
He has been waiting for the antidote, but to this day, he still has not received it.
There are more and more missed opportunities, and he can't wait any longer.
He felt suffocated when he thought of Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan's consummation, but with this certainty, he still couldn't give up.
If that's the case, then try to be her second husband.
But she still doesn't want to, and what's even more ridiculous is that there is still no antidote.
He was trapped in the palace. Although he was close to Chu Xingchen, it proved to be useless. He felt that changes needed to be made.
No matter what changes are made, only by making changes can we get out of this cycle of death and have a new beginning with His Majesty.
Maybe jumping out and taking a closer look could help him find a solution to the current predicament.
It happened that the balance of the harem was broken, and it was foreseeable that the storm was coming, so he avoided it for a while to avoid letting her get further away from him.
He went out to take a look, and happened to be looking for an antidote.
Chu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, "Are you going to Wu State and Qi State?"
"Well, it may take some time. Your Majesty will just wait for the money to come."
Chu Xingchen responded, "Okay, you go."
In the original novel, Xiao Wang has business all over the Three Kingdoms, even in Beidi and Xirong. His leaving the palace this time may start his legendary life...
Just as Chu Xingchen thought of this, he heard Xiao Wang say, "Then, Your Majesty, wait for me to come back in the palace, but don't think that I won't come back after I leave the palace this time."
"I will be back before your birthday. Your Majesty, you can think of any birthday gifts you want and I will bring them back to you."
Xiao Wang guessed what Chu Xingchen was thinking just by looking at Chu Xingchen's expression, and couldn't help but tap her forehead with his index finger, "I worked hard to fill your majesty's treasury, and I will reward you when you come back. Your majesty can't do it then."
reject."
"What reward do you want?" Chu Xingchen touched his forehead and took two steps back silently, "You can reveal a little bit so that I can prepare."
Xiao Wang saw her retreating, "No need to prepare."
What he wanted had always been her, he just needed her not to back down.
Chu Xingchen felt that something was wrong with Xiao Wang's eyes. Just when he was about to take a closer look, Xiao Wang suddenly took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms.
"I'll be leaving tomorrow, so Your Majesty doesn't have to send me off. I'll just say goodbye tonight."
Chu Xingchen was suddenly hugged, and when he was about to break free, his hands stopped after hearing this.
"Leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes." Xiao Wang held back the madness in his heart and let go of Chu Xingchen, "Do you have anything to give your Majesty?"
Chu Xingchen looked at Xiao Wang's face and said, "Pay attention to safety and protect yourself. Don't show your face if you can."
With such a face outside, you really need to protect yourself.
"Okay, so is your Majesty."
Xiao Wang wanted to say something, but didn't say it in the end.
He just hoped that Your Majesty wouldn't get pregnant so soon.
After Xiao Wang left, as he expected, the balance of the harem was broken.
The news that Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan had consummated their marriage had been kept secret for a while, but eventually it got out.
Hearing that Chu Xingchen hadn't come to Shen Cangzhu, Xiao Wang, Lingzhou and the others, one by one, the real and fake mother-in-law and Lingzhou's sister-in-law that Chu Xingchen had faced all handed over signs wanting to meet them.
Xiao Wang hid first, but Shen's mother and the Ling family's sister-in-law couldn't refuse.
Chu Xingchen had met them before and made some promises to put their minds at ease.
Although I didn't say that we must be in love with each other, it still gives me a headache thinking about it now.
When they entered the palace, Chu Xingchen was still a little guilty and did not see them on the excuse that he was busy with business.
But soon she had no time to think about this, because she soon learned a piece of news.
"Your Majesty, something happened in Yancun. When I went down, all the people in Yancun were dead and there was not a single living person left."
Chu Xingchen received a letter and gift from Mao Dan two days ago. Mao Dan sent another wooden hairpin, which was much more exquisite than the last time. He said that he would carve better in the future and he would practice it during his breaks.
Mao Dan's handwriting gets better and neater each time.
The books Chu Xingchen sent back set off a reading trend in Yancun, and even adults would study them if they had the chance.
Mao Dan's desire to win the first prize in the exam and become her husband has not changed. She said that she has grown taller again, this time she has really grown up.
Mao Dan also mentioned one thing, saying that several people have disappeared in Yancun in recent days. They disappeared inexplicably. When they were found, there were only corpses.
They were changed beyond recognition and were all killed by wild beasts.
People in the village arranged patrols, and people from the town and county also came, but there was no progress.
Mao Dan looked at the corpse and felt a little strange. It seemed that it was not caused by wild animals, but it was just his intuition.
After hearing what Mao Dan said, Chu Xingchen asked Zhou Buyan to contact the shadows over there and ask them to pay attention to Yan Village and deal with them if there were wild beasts or bad guys nearby.
The worst outcome Chu Xingchen thought was that bad guys appeared, but he didn't expect that the village would be destroyed.
"What's going on! What do you mean there's no one left alive?" Is this ridiculous?
Shadow knelt on the ground, "The specific situation is still being investigated, but my subordinates found that some villagers had signs of being interrogated."
"trial?"
When he heard the word interrogation, Chu Xingchen immediately thought of salt, because the only clue that could be interrogated among the people of Yancun was this one clue.
Chu Xingchen's hands tightened for a moment. If it were really salt...
"Check, find out, and be sure to catch the person who killed them."
Chu Xingchen hoped that everything was fake. She still remembered the scene when they went to stay overnight. Their simple faces were still something she had never forgotten.
They had a hard life before, but it finally improved, so why...
For a moment, Chu Xingchen even thought, if she had not gone to their village, they would not have to suffer such a bad luck, and they would be poorer, but they could live a safe life.
"Your Majesty." Zhou Buyan's voice woke Chu Xingchen up. She came back to her senses, forced herself out of her self-blaming mood, and looked at Zhou Buyan, "Huh?"
"I will go there myself, Your Majesty."
He knew that His Majesty valued the lives of the people, not to mention that the people were known to His Majesty. He would go faster and catch the murderer as soon as possible, which would make His Majesty feel better.
Zhou Buyan and his men set off as quickly as possible, traveling all night, and arrived at Yancun early the next day.
Many changes have taken place in Yancun, but it is also familiar and brings back many memories when I see it.
Just entering Yancun, everything changed.
The once peaceful village has become a hell on earth.
