Chu Xingchen nodded: "That's okay, otherwise you will be too tired. A balance between work and rest is the best."
"Especially if you think about it in the long term."
Xiao Wang couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Your Majesty, have you considered the long term?"
On the first day I came back to work, I heard that the work arrangement was a bit sinister, but it was impossible to hide it, so Chu Xingchen nodded.
"It's a long-term consideration."
Fortunately, Xiao Wang is not annoyed: "The long term is the long term, but it's the same as what I just said, up to fifty years."
His Majesty's use of him in this way is not inseparable from him, but it's not bad either.
"That's enough, that's enough." Chu Xingchen said in his heart, I don't even plan to work for fifty years.
It would be too tiring to work for another fifty years before retiring. She only planned to work until the legal retirement age, and when it was almost time to meditate, she would meditate, and when it was time to leave it to Xiao Bing Dian, she would leave it to Xiao Bing Dang.
She doesn't want to work herself to death.
Xiao Wang looked at Chu Xingchen's expression and saw something strange: "Is your Majesty's expression different from my plan?"
Chu Xingchen laughed and looked at Xiao Bing Dang: "My conditions don't allow it. If I work for another fifty years, Xiao Bing Dang will be over fifty years old."
"Should we let her be an old lady then? Or will I never delegate power?"
"It's not appropriate. In order to prevent the relationship between our mother and daughter from breaking up, I think it will be almost twenty years before she can take over."
Xiao Wang: "...Then I will only struggle for twenty years."
"You're fine. You're assisting His Highness, which is different from me."
Xiao Wang sneered when he heard this: "No, then you will be wandering around idle, and I will be the only one to work hard? Impossible."
Xiao Wang didn't think there was anything wrong with working for another fifty years, but when he heard that Chu Xingchen only planned to work for another twenty years, he suddenly felt that he had gone to an extreme again.
Even if I'm feeling down now, I can't work so hard.
If he works for another fifty years, won't he be more diligent than a donkey pulling a mill?
So he said: "The fifty years I mentioned are just a metaphor."
Chu Xingchen smiled and did not refute: "It's just a metaphor. When the time comes, you can retire and become a reclusive boss."
With Xiao Wang’s ability and his fame and achievements now, he will definitely be even more powerful twenty years from now.
Retired, he is also the most handsome and charming hidden boss.
A handsome old man who can tease young people.
Zhou Buyan was listening and couldn't help but imagine that it would indeed be the case, so he interrupted.
"What about me?"
Xiao Wang saw that Zhou Buyan was jealous, and of course Chu Xingchen could also see it.
"You? Of course you are the same. Don't worry, we can all become hidden bosses. Even if our faces are full of wrinkles, we will definitely be the most charming grandparents."
Xiao Wang and Zhou Buyan both laughed when they heard this.
The people who were far away from them did not know that what they said were such narcissistic and speechless words, and they thought they were saying something serious.
After chatting for a while, Chu Xingchen turned to talk about the canonization.
She asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare the imperial edict for the conferment of a noble husband, and the auspicious timing was also promising.
Xiao Wang was named a noble husband. Although it was not comparable to that of an imperial husband, there was still a canonization ceremony.
Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang started chatting.
"Let Zhou Buyan arrange your husband's canonization ceremony for you." You can't arrange your own canonization ceremony by yourself.
Zhou Buyan nodded beside him, but Xiao Wang didn't care: "Okay, sorry for the trouble."
Zhou Buyan shook his head: "No trouble, let's go back to the palace first."
As he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a bird call, which was somewhat similar to the code of their shadows.
Zhou Buyan was still wondering which newcomer, Shadow, had blown the wrong call, or if there was really a bird chirping, when something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, he saw arrows shooting towards Chu Xingchen and Xiaobing in front of him. Zhou Buyan reacted quickly and immediately repelled the arrows.
Xia Zhi quickly hid behind Zhou Buyan while holding the small ice cube, while Qiu Lai also hurriedly blocked Chu Xingchen.
Xiao Wang also blocked Chu Xingchen in time.
Just as Chu Xingchen was about to speak, Qiu Lai, who had stood in front of her to protect her, suddenly turned around.
The scene was so chaotic that Chu Xingchen didn't notice anything unusual about Qiu Lai, but Qiu Lai suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and struck it fiercely at Chu Xingchen's chest.
Chu Xingchen noticed something unusual and hurriedly stepped back.
But Qiulai was too close to her, and it was too late at the moment.
Zhou Buyan turned around when he heard the noise, his eyes were about to burst. He heard Xiao Wang's shouts, and he desperately rushed to block them, but he couldn't hit them in time.
The knife in Zhou Buyan's hand flew away as quickly as possible towards Qiu Lai.
Zhou Buyan took action in time, using almost the fastest speed and strength in his life.
In the end, he didn't succeed. At the last moment, the knife cut off Qiu Lai's wrists.
He also cut off a strand of Chu Xingchen's flying hair.
Qiu Lai's hand was still stretched out, but before he could react, the dagger and wrist that were about to be inserted into Chu Xingchen's chest fell down.
Chu Xingchen didn't dare to breathe. It was just a little bit close, really just a little bit close. In just one second, the dagger would be inserted directly into her heart.
Let her be killed with one blow.
Chu Xingchen thought that he was going to fall into the hands of the person closest to him this time.
Qiu Lai also thought that he was going to succeed, with a strange and proud smile on his face.
But this smile finally froze.
She watched helplessly as her hand suddenly fell.
It took her a moment to realize that her hand was broken.
Only then did she react and feel the pain. The next second, Zhou Buyan's attack came again.
This time the target is the neck.
Zhou Buyan drew out the soft sword from his waist and struck out without hesitation.
The force is precise and without hesitation.
In just an instant, Qiu Lai died.
With his big, unfamiliar eyes open, the proud and shocked expression from before still remained on his face, he just fell down.
In the end, she didn't know why she died.
She didn't know why Zhou Buyan acted so quickly and decisively.
Facing the familiar palace maid who had served Chu Xingchen for several years, she didn't even hesitate at all.
Qiu Lai suddenly fell to the ground, and the blood splattered on her neck fell on Chu Xingchen's face.
If it were in the past, Zhou Buyan would never let His Majesty face such a scene, let alone do something like this and splash blood on Chu Xingchen.
But this time, he was so frightened that he couldn't care about it.
It took Chu Xingchen a moment before he gasped and reacted.
At this time, she had been pulled into Zhou Buyan's arms.
Zhou Buyan was extremely frightened.
But he only lost his composure for a moment, and he quickly let go of Chu Xingchen.
He stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood splashed on her face: "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty."
Chu Xingchen nodded.
After Zhou Wuyan blocked an arrow again without saying a word, he turned around and blocked it again before he could say more.
Xiao Wang held his hands tightly and blocked Chu Xingchen.
He was so desperate and helpless just now, thinking that he would just watch His Majesty die in front of him.
Fortunately, there is still Zhou Buyan.
Xiao Wang once again felt his own incompetence and was glad that Zhou Buyan was still there.
The only thing he could do was to stand in front of His Majesty.
