Chapter 41 "Intrigue" The family

"chirped"

and the sparrows by the window quickly flew out of Concubine Shu's window.

Along Feihuangcheng Street, a group of sparrows flew up and scattered in all directions.

When he heard this, Chen Xiaozhuo hurriedly called his father.

When Liu Shiwen heard the emperor's words, he was heartbroken, even though he knew that the emperor would not let them go easily.

But after hearing this, he still looked a little ugly.

"Don't be afraid. We, father and son, are extremely capable. Even if we beat them to death, we would never have imagined that the two of us who are regarded as pawns have actually taken control of the overall situation."

Liu Shiwen said with a smile in the space.

Although Chen Xiaozhuo was nervous, he finally laughed when he looked at Liu Shiwen's encouraging and confident eyes. The sparrows outside turned into flying eagles in the sky and made bright calls.

"Yes, as long as I am with my father , I am not afraid!" Chen Xiaozhuo said with bright eyes.

When Liu Shiwen saw Chen Xiaozhuo like this, he was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed and he led Chen Xiaozhuo out of the space.

"Yes..."

Chen Xiaozhuo knew who it was instantly, but Liu Shiwen stopped his voice.

"Xiao Zhuo."

King Yikang's low, slightly hoarse voice came from outside.

Chen Xiaozhuo stared and looked at Liu Shiwen in panic.

After King Yikang went out, Liu Shiwen was afraid that King Yikang would cause trouble for Concubine Shu, so he asked Chen Xiaozhuo to send sparrows to follow him.

Now that there is a result, King Yikang is back.

"My lord, why are you back?" Liu Shiwen pretended not to understand and walked out with Chen Xiaozhuo.

It was already dark outside. King Yikang came back at this time, obviously not taking the right path.

King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "I went to see Concubine Shu. If they dare to touch my people like this, they must know how powerful it is."

"The prince went to see Concubine Shu?" Liu Shiwen I asked in surprise.

But King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen with unusual enthusiasm.

Liu Shiwen instantly felt something was wrong and said, "Did Concubine Shu say something?"

"No, he didn't say anything." King Yikang shook his head firmly and stared at Liu Shiwen with a clear look. : "I have warned him not to let him disturb your lives. If anyone comes to you again in the future, just say I don't allow it."

"Yes, I understand." Liu Shiwen felt that King Eikang His mood wasn't quite right, so he didn't dare to provoke him and just nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Zhuo, can you go aside and play for a while?" King Yikang looked at Chen Xiaozhuo nervously and said.

Chen Xiaozhuo shook his head quickly.

Liu Shiwen's fingers held Chen Xiaozhuo's hand slightly. The tacit understanding between the two father and son was quite remarkable.

"Dad, it's getting dark. If you have nothing to do, go out first. It would be bad if someone discovers you." Chen Xiaozhuo added.

King Yi Kang looked at the two father and son. They were very affectionate with him during the day, but now they started to play tricks on him.

They think they can't see their little moves.

King Yikang knew that the father and son had strange abilities, but looking at it like this, they had no intention of sharing it with him.

Just like when he went out this time, he vaguely felt like he was being stared at.

Waiting for him to come over unexpectedly, and sure enough, Chen Xiaozhuo already knew that he was coming.

"Could this matter still happen to Xiao Zhuo?" King Yikang became more and more curious, but the two father and son had already begun to dodge his eyes.

The family stood there looking at each other in inexplicable embarrassment.

"Master."

The person outside the door called in a low voice.

"Dad, please leave quickly, it's not safe here." Chen Xiaozhuo urged with a smile.

King Yikang nodded and said to Liu Shiwen before leaving: "I will remember what you said to Concubine Shu. Don't forget it, either."

"Ah? I said..." Liu Shiwen hadn't said it yet. After saying this, King Yikang walked away.

"Father , don't go out, there are people outside." Chen Xiaozhuo grabbed Liu Shiwen. He could now tell which people were from the emperor and which were from King Yikang.

When Liu Shiwen heard this, his heart tightened. He waited for Chen Xiaozhuo to say that King Yikang had left, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, have you guessed what we are capable of?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked worriedly.

"I don't know, but if my father don't let you say it, you just won't admit it, you know?" Liu Shiwen warned.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded.

He yawned. Today was a busy day.

Liu Shiwen saw that he was sleepy, so he took him to the space to cook some food, and the two of them started eating.

"Oops, I forgot to ask your father-in-law to bring some ketchup back this time." Liu Shiwen said regretfully.

"Yes, he gave us so many things, but we didn't give him any gifts in return." Chen Xiaozhuo thought for a moment and felt that King Yikang was quite pitiful.

"That's all, let's talk about it next time we come." Liu Shiwen was also sleepy.

After he packed up his things, he controlled the shadows of workers in his shop to start working in the space.

After waiting and seeing that it was almost done, Liu Shiwen turned around and entered the house.

When I woke up the next day, Youmingyuan was completely quiet.

It was already the hottest time, so Liu Shiwen told the guards outside the door that there was no need to come over to teach Chen Xiaozhuo how to practice martial arts in the next two days.

The other party also agreed. After all, Chen Xiaozhuo has progressed quickly enough, and teachers who are particularly outstanding students will always be a little more relaxed.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Shiwen now has a good relationship with these guards because of Chen Xiaozhuo's affection for Tao Zi.

Sometimes these guards would even tell Liu Shiwen and the two of them to be careful.

Liu Shiwen would often prepare some fruits and other things for the guards.

It's very hot today.

Chen Xiaozhuo hid directly in the space and started swimming in his swimming pool.

"Xiao Zhuo, come here."

Liu Shiwen called out, and a wooden statue of an old man came out from the house.

"Eh? Isn't this what the gentleman dad took me to see before?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked after looking at it.

"You're right, I figured out a way so that my husband can teach you how to read here and watch you write." Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and said with a smile.

"Ah?" Chen Xiaozhuo was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face was obviously gone.

"Xiaozhuo, study."

Liu Shiwen said, and Chen Xiaozhuo had to walk over obediently, saluted the gentleman, and then started to follow him to class.

Although the teacher is made of wood, he is very serious in teaching and the lessons are well arranged.

Although Chen Xiaozhuo had already learned a lot in the palace, because he was a brother and greedy and lazy, he just learned a little bit.

But this gentleman is different. He teaches everyone's children, and the rules are strict enough.

Chen Xiaozhuo worked for half a day, which was even harder than practicing martial arts.

But Liu Shiwen was sincere enough. He cooked a table of meals for lunch and brought a bowl of coconut smoothie.

Chen Xiaozhuo's eyes gleamed as he looked at it.

"If you study carefully today, my father will reward you." Liu Shiwen said.

Chen Xiaozhuo is a smart child, and he naturally knows what this means. In order to have a bite to eat, Chen Xiaozhuo can only study hard.

I rarely go out all summer.

The drought is so severe this year that the entire imperial city can no longer stand the heat.

There was also trouble on the other side of the border.

The palace was even more restless, with several princes and princesses having bad relations.

Everyone said that Concubine Shu was causing trouble, after all, he was the only one who was a medical concubine.

Fortunately, Concubine Shu and the emperor finally worked together to find out the person and prove her innocence. The matter was traced to a concubine who was recuperating with the Queen Mother in the palace.

The implications are huge.

The concubine bluntly said that it was her child who should have taken the throne, but in the end it was the emperor's turn. She had always been a lowly child and stayed with the queen mother just to take revenge!

The queen mother was so angry that she fainted and fell ill, and the concubine also took poison and died.

As soon as this incident came out, the court was shocked. They all bluntly said that His Majesty was raised as a reserve by the late Emperor. Why did the Dowager bring up this matter now? !

"In any case, the matter of the concubine is enough to alert His Majesty. The matter of the throne cannot be delayed any longer."

Soon the matter of establishing the throne came to the forefront.

At this time, Xia Yanliang was falsely accused. It was spread from the border that Xia Yanliang was plotting rebellion, and she had been holding back until now just for revenge!

"No, Master, General Xia has been arrested. The guards at our door have been replaced!"

Qing Cai Dawei ran over in panic.

When Liu Shiwen heard this, he looked at Chen Xiaozhuo who was writing inside.

Although he already knew that nothing would happen to Xia Yanliang, he naturally became anxious when he heard such a situation.

Concubine Shu must not expose her identity now, otherwise the queen will definitely investigate her.

The only solution now is to help Xia Yanliang exonerate himself.

The emperor actually knew Xia Yanliang's identity, and he also fully recognized Xia Yanliang's loyalty and talent.

Naturally, he wouldn't want anything to happen to Xia Yanliang.

However, the court was obsessed with this matter, and the emperor could not open his mouth to excuse Xia Yanliang. After all, it was his own father who took action against the Shu family in the first place.

When he opened his mouth to forgive Xia Yanliang, didn't he mean to slap his own father in the face? !

Liu Shiwen remembered that it was Concubine Shu who asked the minister to help Xia Yanliang speak, and Xia Yanliang on the other side also left evidence to retract his confession.

"That's all, let's let the Liu family join in the fun." After Liu Shiwen learned the emperor's thoughts, he naturally thought of adding more credit.

At least if he ran away, he wouldn't implicate the Liu family.

He quickly became a servant and went to Liu's house. Now that Liu Shixing was able to turn over, he quite trusted Liu Shiwen's words.

When he heard that he was asked to help Xia Yanliang, Shu Ning'an, the son of the Shu family, he felt doubtful again.

After all, I am speaking for the Shu family now, but I am openly confronting the queen's family and most of the dignitaries in the imperial city!

Especially since it was the late emperor who convicted the Shu family.

No matter what the emperor says, he will not overturn the previous emperor's conviction, right?

"I'm not asking you to come forward, but I'm asking you to shout a few times so that the emperor will remember it." Liu Shiwen, who looked like a young boy, said with a smile.

When Liu Shixing heard this, he inexplicably thought of his regret in giving the medicine to Concubine Shu.

If he had not hesitated at the beginning, he might have cured Concubine Shu's illness earlier, and he would not have been solely responsible for his reinstatement.

Liu Shiwen helped the Liu family so much, but he didn't get much benefit from it.

Now he comes here to remind himself, how could he not repay his brother?

Liu Shixing sent Liu Shiwen away and made a memorial that night, preparing to speak for Xia Yanliang, that is, Shu Ning'an.

As soon as this incident came out, the emperor was stunned, and King Yikang, who was about to take the opportunity to publicize the Chen Dynasty's love of slandering heroes, was also stunned.

Liu Shiwen heard that the courtyard door was kicked open early in the morning, saying that the Queen had asked him to take Chen Xiaozhuo there!

Chapter 42 Chaos:

"The Queen, please invite us over?"

Liu Shiwen couldn't help but trembled when he heard this.

In the plot of the original book, it was around this time that the queen began to vigorously win over her.

I didn't expect that it would still develop like this until now.

Liu Shiwen once again lamented the horror of the plot.

"I'm sorry we can't go through this. Are we staying in Youmingyuan under the order, or King Yikang and His Majesty ordered it at the same time? If we want to go out, I'm afraid we need the consent of these two people."

Liu Shiwen told the visitor.

The queen heard Liu Shiwen's words and was unwilling to come over. She sent people directly to Liu's house to find Liu Shiwen's parents and brought a bunch of good things. She said she wanted her nephew to make a baby with Chen Xiaozhuo. relative.

The Liu family's father and mother are typical people in the article who have no brains when flirting with someone, and they actually agree to it in a daze.

Fortunately, Liu Shixing kept someone at home, and when he heard this, he ran home without caring about anything.

He was risking his life and death to confront the Queen's family, and his own family actually wanted to join forces with the Queen.

If the emperor found out about this, wouldn't he be scolded for being duplicitous?

After Liu Shixing returned home, he gritted his teeth and politely refused the visitors from the Queen's house, and then lost his temper at Liu's house.

Liu Shiwen's parents were most afraid of their eldest son.

She was crying and panicking at the same time. Firstly, she felt that her eldest son was not filial to her. Secondly, she was afraid that this would anger the queen and delay her eldest son's future.

"Just calm down. You dare to jump into this kind of situation. Chen Xiaozhuo's parents are here, and you all dare to kiss him on his behalf."

Liu Shixing hadn't finished speaking yet. King Yikang over there The men came to the door.

King Yikang's men were not unreasonable and spoke sarcastically and threateningly.

Liu Shixing's face turned white and red after hearing this. He was angry but did not dare to say anything.

Neither the Queen nor Your Majesty is as dangerous as King Yi Kang.

If they offend Her Majesty the Queen, they are also following the literary path. If they offend King Yikang, I am afraid that not all of my family will survive tonight.

"Ouch, ouch!"

Liu Shiwen's mother was so frightened that she fainted.

King Yikang's people then got up and left.

After waiting for King Yikang's people to leave, the Liu family seemed to have been blown away by a strong wind. It was a mess and no one dared to say anything.

"If you want to live, just calm down. Our family's heads are still being held in other people's hands!" Liu Shiwen called the whole family over. After talking to each other, the whole family was trembling with fear, but they behaved a lot.

Liu Shiwen also quickly learned about this.

In his heart, he scolded the queen for being cruel, and he was glad that he did the right thing to keep Liu Shixing.

If this was without Liu Shixing, I am afraid that the Liu family would have jumped on the ship of death and started to travel.

"Aren't you annoying?"

Chen Xiaozhuo also heard talking about his own affairs.

He was worried about the article left by his husband, but he didn't expect that these people were still interested in him.

Chen Xiaozhuo was anxious and sent a small sparrow to attack the queen with feces when she went out.

"What bad luck!"

The queen who had just gone out had to turn back, while the servants below hurriedly went to chase away the birds.

"Be honest and don't provoke them."

Liu Shiwen taught Chen Xiaozhuo a lesson. The people present now are all important people. If they are involved, they may cause trouble.

"I know."

Chen Xiaozhuo had to sit up straight and start writing obediently.

Liu Shiwen waited for Chen Xiaozhuo to finish writing, then picked the two best ones and put them in an envelope and sent them to Yongchang Company.

Naturally, it will soon be in the hands of King Yikang.

The letter from King Yikang was also very quick.

"Your father's letter."

Liu Shiwen took the letter and gave it to Chen Xiaozhuo. It was a thick letter with Chen Xiaozhuo's handwriting inside.

Prince Yikang evaluated Chen Xiaozhuo carefully and attached three pieces of paper to write down his suggestions for Chen Xiaozhuo.

"Your father's calligraphy is so beautiful." Liu Shiwen admired as he looked at it.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded, arguing that he would also write a letter to King Yikang.

"If you are too diligent and can't keep up with each other, you will be targeted." Liu Shiwen advised, and asked Chen Xiaozhuo to make great progress before writing to King Yikang.

Chen Xiaozhuo thought about it. He posted the letter written by King Yikang on the space desk, so that it would be more interesting to study.

Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo like that and felt inexplicably lucky that he was a good student.

"Master."

Qing Cai came over again.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Shiwen asked. It turned out that the eldest prince had been punished for disobedience in front of the palace.

"Oh, there's so much noise in the palace. Even the queen went to look for your majesty. It seemed like there was a big quarrel."

Qingcai was on an idle job now, so he fell in love with gossip.

When Liu Shiwen heard this, he knew that the emperor had probably obtained something and was ready to deal with the eldest prince and the queen's family.

He remembered that the storm lasted for a long time, and many people were killed or injured in the process.

The throne will always be so bloody and cruel.

"I don't know how many things King Yikang has intervened in here?" Liu Shiwen thought of King Yikang, and his heart tightened. After all, the Xingnian Rebellion started after the Prince Conflict.

"Master?"

Qing Cai looked at Liu Shiwen's frown and asked in a low voice.

"Nothing, where is General Xia? Is there any news?" Liu Shiwen asked.

"They are still arguing, but the results are probably about to come out. I heard that General Xia also took off his armor and came to the imperial city in order to prove his innocence." Qingcai said.

"Okay, I understand. Don't ask about these things recently. People will die." Liu Shiwen said.

Qing Cai's expression changed. Liu Shiwen was never inaccurate in what he said.

Earlier, he would have envied others for having errands, but now he can only say that living is enough.

And he followed this man, and he had much in his hands.

"Go."

Liu Shiwen dismissed Qingcai and left, then turned and returned to the house.

In the room, Chen Xiaozhuo had already written today's words. When he saw Liu Shiwen coming in, he said, "Master is coming to the capital."

"Did you send the little sparrow to find him?" Liu Shiwen asked in surprise.

"A little bit, I just saw him secretly on the way. My little sparrow can't fly that far." Chen Xiaozhuo knew that his father would not let him use the little sparrow too often.

After all, in the eyes of some experts, the little sparrow will also be remembered.

Liu Shiwen touched his head and asked him to study.

"I have to practice boxing, otherwise the master will come and say I'm lazy." Chen Xiaozhuo said and went out.

Without Xia Yanliang's bodyguard watching from the side, Chen Xiaozhuo didn't know whether it was good or not after beating him for a while. He scratched his head and took out the little trap person and started practicing again.

After waiting for almost half a month, Xia Yanliang arrived at the Imperial City.

He came to plead guilty and to clear his name. He also wanted to redress His Majesty's injustice and vindicate the wronged souls of the Shu family. He was suing the powerful people headed by the Queen's family.

Xia Yanliang has also collected certain evidence over the years.

As soon as this incident came out, the entire court was shocked.

Liu Shiwen warned Liu Shixing in advance not to interfere in this matter.

Liu Shixing is not having a good time now either. Because of his opposition to the Queen's family, he has been greatly squeezed and suppressed in his actions in the court and in the government.

Not many people in the Liu family dared to receive them when they went out.

He was complained by his parents again.

Now that he heard that Xia Yanliang had brought up the Shu family's unjust case, he knew that only the emperor could handle this matter, so he naturally did not dare to say anything more.

But from his point of view, this matter for the Shu family is very difficult to handle.

Not to mention that there are many involved, and there is also a former emperor involved, who dares to take action?

After Xia Yanliang entered the capital, he was imprisoned according to the law.

Most of the people in the court wanted to execute Xia Yanliang. After all, concealing one's identity was a serious crime no matter what, and the case of the Shu family was also a crime convicted by the late emperor.

Liu Shixing and others changed directions. It can only be said that Xia Yanliang has worked hard for the country and the people over the years, and he cannot directly kill people because of these.

"Master, what should I do?"

Chen Xiaozhuo also became worried.

"Don't worry, he will come out soon." Liu Shiwen knew that Xia Yanliang was going to suffer a lot, but fortunately, Concubine Shu and the emperor were taking care of her, so it wouldn't be too painful.

Although Chen Xiaozhuo listened, he was still anxious.

Xia Yanliang was imprisoned for almost a month, and there were several dangers in the process. Fortunately, Concubine Shu took action and saved the day.

The court had been quarreling for more than a month. As doubts about the Shu family's case gradually emerged, everyone became less forceful in their speech.

At this time, the emperor released Xia Yanliang first, dismissed his military position, and confiscated all his family property. However, he recognized Xia Yanliang's identity and changed him from Xia Yanliang to Shu Ning'an!

As for the Shu family's case, the emperor wanted to discuss it later.

But Shu Ning'an was a little reluctant.

Concubine Shu also wanted to find some more evidence against the queen and others, but she didn't expect that at this time, the Cui family issued an edict, declaring that the Shu family was an unjust case caused by the Chen Dynasty, and the Cui family sentenced the queen and her family to death. , and many dignitaries in the DPRK and China were sentenced.

Moreover, the standard of punishment is still the Cui family's code of that year.

What's even more terrible is that Ms. Cui also pointed out that although the Shu family case was handled by the queen family, it was considered that it was done at the request of the emperor Xianchao.

Cui also named the late Emperor Chen.

This caused the entire court to explode.

Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo's Youmingyuan was also directly sealed.

"Don't be afraid. The more times like this, the less likely they will do anything to us. If it doesn't work, my father will take you and run away."

Liu Shiwen has been building roads carefully these days, and now the gate of space has been opened. The scope of the imperial city.

Even if they disappear by then, people here will probably be looking for them in the palace first, and then in the imperial city.

I'm afraid if it weren't for Liu Shiwen and his son, they would have disappeared long ago.

"Dad, why don't we run away now?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked doubtfully.

Chapter 43 The main plot of King Yikang

"Because the father  are waiting for an end. After these things are over, the father  will get a chance to change their fate."

Liu Shiwen said with excitement in his eyes . .

When Chen Xiaozhuo heard this, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, then Xiaozhuo will stay here with his father. Anyway, it's good for us to be here."

"Does Xiaozhuo feel that these people are too much lately? " Are you making a fuss? "Liu Shiwen asked Chen Xiaozhuo to put away most of the sparrows.

Receiving so much information every day is really too much for a child who is almost six years old.

Chen Xiaozhuo originally said no, but after he heard Liu Shiwen tell him to put away most of the sparrows, he himself felt a lot more relaxed.

Liu Shiwen pinched his ears and regretted that he didn't think of this matter earlier. Chen Xiaozhuo must have had a very hard time during this period.

"Summer has passed." Chen Xiaozhuo looked outside the window, and the autumn wind began to blow.

"Xiao Zhuo's birthday is coming too."

Liu Shiwen said with a smile.

When Chen Xiaozhuo heard this, he raised his head, looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "Dad, do you know it's my birthday?"

"You should know." Liu Shiwen thought about King Yikang's doting on Chen Xiaozhuo, These things should have been figured out long ago.

But what worried Liu Shiwen was that under this situation, could King Yikang come over in person?

Liu Shiwen didn't want King Yikang to come.

After all, the Cui family has now officially begun to embark on the road to seize the throne. Although this road is not so clever because of the plot arrangement, the danger level of King Yikang coming to the imperial city and palace is too high anyway. .

"Xiao Zhuo, come with your father."

Liu Shiwen thought of something and took Chen Xiaozhuo back to the space.

In the space, the father and son walked to the medicine field.

These days, the medicine field has been specially maintained by Liu Shiwen. Now it seems that the medicine field is only slightly larger than before.

However, all kinds of medicinal herbs are growing very vigorously, which is pleasing to look at.

"Sprinkle some goodwill here." Liu Shiwen said.

Chen Xiaozhuo spread his good impression a hundred times.

The medicinal materials slowly grew in a circle, and the few strange fruits that were visible turned into mature colors.

"Not bad." Liu Shiwen used Chen Xiaozhuo's ability to spread peaches as an accelerator, and would only choose to accelerate at specific times.

For example, now that he saw that the situation had become dangerous, it was time to put away the medicinal materials he had carefully prepared.

He carefully picked the medicinal materials and took them to the medicine shop.

The pharmacy has now become much more upscale and refined.

Liu Shiwen only had to follow the prescription.

It didn't take long for the finished medicine to be produced, and Liu Shiwen carefully put it away.

This is the high-level elixir for raising people that he finally cultivated in half a year.

"I don't know if it will be effective." Liu Shiwen remembered that King Cui Zhesu of Yikang's condition took a turn for the worse this winter.

It was also at this time that another branch of the Cui family continued to grow and finally joined forces with His Majesty the Emperor to destroy King Yikang's cause of becoming emperor.

This was a chess game that Chen had laid out a long time ago, and King Yikang himself could vaguely feel it.

If it weren't for his health, he probably wouldn't have acted so impatiently and desperately.

"Okay, I'll go to Yongchang."

Liu Shiwen came out of the space late at night. He walked to Yongchang and handed over the elixir to the person whom King Yikang named.

"Bring these to your master and tell him to take care of himself." After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, he turned and left.

This was the best medicine he could think of, but he didn't know if it would work.

"Father."

When Liu Shiwen returned, Chen Xiaozhuo had already woken up in the room in the space.

"Okay, let's go to bed." Liu Shiwen patted Chen Xiaozhuo. Because of the lessons learned from the previous sparrow incident, Liu Shiwen planned not to tell Chen Xiaozhuo everything in the future.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded sleepily and fell asleep close to Liu Shiwen.

The next morning, there was a loud knock on the courtyard door.

Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo sat up hurriedly.

"Search!"

The guard who came in unreasonably searched everything in the house.

"That's..."

Chen Xiaozhuo couldn't help but screamed when he saw that all the things given to him by King Yikang were collected.

The guard looked over with cold eyes.

Liu Shiwen grabbed Chen Xiaozhuo and looked at these people without saying a word.

"Take away!"

Soon many things in the house were taken away.

"Father.."

Chen Xiaozhuo also knew that his father, King Yikang, was making moves outside. Although Chen Xiaozhuo was not very clear about these things, he also knew that his father, King Yikang, was confronting His Majesty the Emperor!

"It's okay, it's okay."

Liu Shiwen looked at the empty room, and his expression became solemn.

But fortunately, most of the things that were taken away were returned three days later.

Liu Shiwen and his son were told that King Yikang was now heading down the wrong path, and His Majesty the Emperor wanted Liu Shiwen to write a letter to dissuade King Yikang.

When Liu Shiwen heard this, he knew that the emperor was planning to kill him.

But now he had no room to bargain, so he could only nod.

"Your Majesty, did you tell me what to write? We father and son don't know anything in this courtyard, and we don't know what to write." Liu Shiwen asked with his pen, and he was given a sample essay.

When Liu Shiwen saw it, he raised his head and wrote husband...

"This... the prince and I don't call each other that way. We don't have that kind of relationship." Liu Shiwen said with some embarrassment and speechlessness.

But others didn't believe what he said, and they just told him to write it down.

Liu Shiwen read it, and he knew that the letter had been sent. King Yikang knew that someone else had asked him to write it. King Yikang must have imagined the current situation of Liu Shiwen and his son.

"Take some of his hair."

At this moment, someone wanted to pull Chen Xiaozhuo over.

"Stop!"

Liu Shiwen shouted, glared at the guard and said, "Is this also what His Majesty told you?"

"Of course, do you still want to resist the order?!" The guard said and was about to drag Chen Xiaozhuo.

"I see, isn't it just hair? Let's just do it ourselves!" After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, he took a small scissor and cut some off the ends of Chen Xiaozhuo's hair.

Chen Xiaozhuo often had his hair cut by Liu Shiwen here, and he didn't have such an exaggerated sense of resistance to this.

It was just the current scene that made him a little scared.

"It's okay, it looks better this way." Liu Shiwen said and cut off some of his own hair, and said, "Do you want mine?"

The guard had never seen someone who didn't pay such attention to his hair, and he even had it upside down. of.

"Take it away and ask His Majesty before you speak." After the leader of the guards said this, he took away the letter and the hair.

After waiting for the guards to leave, Chen Xiaozhuo had a layer of anger in his eyes. He clenched his fists and said, "His Majesty the Emperor is so bullying!"

"Now is not the time to be angry, Xiaozhuo, your fish can't deliver messages. " What? You and I wrote a letter to your father."

Liu Shiwen knew that King Yikang would not ignore the situation between himself and Chen Xiaozhuo and confront the emperor directly.

Cui's internal problems were not written in detail in the book.

Now that he was in it, Liu Shiwen could feel that even King Yikang did not completely control Cui's fierce beast.

In other words, King Yikang's situation may be more dangerous.

Liu Shiwen knew that the collapse of the Choi family and the demise of King Uikang were the main plot points. It should be impossible for him to change these things.

But he wanted to slightly reverse the process that led to these results, at least to make King Yikang's life a little less difficult, and not to affect himself and Chen Xiaozhuo like this.

After Liu Shiwen picked up the pen, he thought about it for a while, and finally wrote a few simple sentences. First, he told King Yikang that he and Chen Xiaozhuo were safe and ready to leave at any time.

The second is to ask King Yikang to take good care of himself and work hard to survive the remaining two and a half years.

At the last moment, Liu Shiwencai vaguely told King Yikang that someone in the Cui family might have defected to the emperor.

After finishing writing these letters, Liu Shiwen's letters were all buzzing.

This was the first time he tried to influence and change the main plot, and he didn't know what kind of danger it would bring to himself.

Especially when these things also involve the protagonist group.

"Father ?"

Chen Xiaozhuo called softly when he saw Liu Shiwen sitting there motionless.

"Xiao Zhuo, let your fish carry the letter."

Liu Shiwen closed the envelope, put it into the belly of the strange fish, and let it swim away with the letter.

"Boss, it's bad, Yongchang has been sealed off."

When he and Chen Xiaozhuo returned to the shop, they heard people in the shop discussing quietly.

Liu Shiwen knew that this was the emperor's move to clean up King Yikang's influence in the capital.

As the protagonist, once the plot reaches this point, all kinds of coincidences and strategies will naturally come to light.

Looking at Liu Shiwen, he could only be glad that he had not chosen to have business dealings with Yongchang, otherwise he might have been traced today.

"It has nothing to do with us. We just need to do business properly." Liu Shiwen said, and he took the account book next to him.

After these days of hard work, his business has begun to develop. No one could have imagined that he, who lives in Youmingyuan, has now become a wealthy businessman.

Liu Shiwen looked at the money, and he felt a little comforted. Finally, he took away a clear map that he bought with a lot of money.

After he left the store, he returned to the space.

In the space, Chen Xiaozhuo is playing with the big orange cat.

Chen Xiaozhuo now eats food raised in Lingquan all day long, and has learned some boxing skills. Now his whole body is much more agile.

Because the big orange cat couldn't really fight with Chen Xiaozhuo, he was chased around.

"I caught you!"

When Chen Xiaozhuo rushed over, he suddenly heard a low roar.

Then he saw that the big orange cat turned into a tiger with yellow stripes in an instant, stretched out a big fleshy paw and knocked Chen Xiaozhuo down.

Chapter 44 Chen Xiaozhuo's CP debut

Liu Shiwen saw it and ran over in a hurry.

Chen Xiaozhuo was also startled. He jumped up and looked at the big tiger in shock.

The tiger is only half-grown, but it already looks quite impressive. When it opens its mouth, it is so fierce and scary.

"Father, look!"

Chen Xiaozhuo shouted quickly.

Liu Shiwen grabbed Chen Xiaozhuo and asked Chen Xiaozhuo if he could control the tiger.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded and let the tiger lie down.

The tiger lay down with its two paws intertwined. Chen Xiaozhuo walked over and touched the tiger's big head. He turned to look at Liu Shiwen with a smile and said, "I didn't expect cats to become so powerful."

Liu Shiwen also said He nodded and said: "No one dares to bully you casually now."

Chen Xiaozhuo said with a smile: "But I can't call it out suddenly, others will regard me as a monster."

"You are right. , Unless there is a life or death crisis, you must not call it out casually." Liu Shiwen looked at the tiger's appearance, but he still felt a little confused.

Chen Xiaozhuo encouraged Liu Shiwen to come over and touch the tiger. Liu Shiwen was surprised to find that there was a wooden sign hanging under the tiger's neck.

"What is this?"

Liu Shiwen reached out in confusion to see, but was pressed down by the tiger's claws.

Chen Xiaozhuo was also a little surprised. When he went over to look, the tiger opened his mouth and roared.

Chen Xiaozhuo was startled, and said with a confused look on his face: "Disobedient!"

The tiger looked at Chen Xiaozhuo, slowly ran over, and rubbed his head against Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo waved his hand, and the tiger turned into the big orange cat.

After the big orange cat changed back, he was confused for a while, then turned around and ran away when he saw Chen Xiaozhuo.

"What happened?"

Chen Xiaozhuo didn't understand either.

Liu Shiwen was also a little confused about this. He asked Chen Xiaozhuo to call Feiying over, but he didn't find any traces of humans on Feiying.

"Since you don't understand it, don't call it out yet. You are still too young. I'm afraid of an accident." Liu Shiwen said with a serious face.

Although the thing came out of Chen Xiaozhuo's golden finger and would never harm Chen Xiaozhuo, things involving people are much more complicated.

Liu Shiwen could only ask Chen Xiaozhuo not to call the tiger out.

"I know, it's not obedient anyway, and I don't like it." Chen Xiaozhuo agreed.

"Be good."

While Liu Shiwen was talking, there was a splash of water from the pond next to him.

"Is this a letter from dad?"

Chen Xiaozhuo hurried over there and saw the strange fish opening its mouth and slowly spitting out a letter.

Liu Shiwen picked it up and removed the waterproof skin on the outside. He could see that there was only a thin piece of paper inside.

What is written above is also simple.

"I have known about the Cui family for a long time. You must be careful not to make a choice that will harm yourself because of me."

Liu Shiwen looked down and found that King Yikang's handwriting was a bit sloppy. He was obviously writing in an emergency. Down.

Liu Shiwen now thought about how someone as resourceful as King Yi Kang could not know that there was something wrong with the people in the Cui family.

In this way, it does not give any effective information.

He continued to look down slightly embarrassed, and saw King Yikang saying: "The medicine was delivered, it was timely and very effective. I will work hard to survive, but why are you just letting me survive these two years?" Half?"

Liu Shiwen could only smile bitterly and shake his head when he looked at that question. This was a secret that must not be revealed.

"This fish looks a bit ugly. Did Xiao Zhuo find it?"

Although King Yi Kang had been hinted by Liu Shiwen earlier that in an emergency, they might use fish to send letters to contact Yi Kang. King Kang, let him build a connecting river in his home.

King Yi Kang specially drew a map of Cui for them, fearing that their fish would get lost.

I didn't expect that they actually did it.

King Yikang knew earlier that the two father and son were somewhat mysterious, but when he thought about these animal things, he always felt that they came from Xiao Zhuo, such as those sparrows...

He had been in the cold palace since the beginning. I thought there was something strange about that sparrow, but now that I think about it, it's quite obvious.

But he himself didn't catch any evidence that Chen Xiaozhuo controlled these sparrows.

Anyway, these abilities belong to his son, which he thinks is quite good. Even if his son said that he was transformed by the sun, King Yikang would accept it with a smile and nod.

"What did dad say?"

Chen Xiaozhuo asked anxiously.

"It's nothing. Your father said he knew everything and asked if you had conjured that fish." Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and said.

"Ah? Dad... guessed it? How did he guess it?"

This was Chen Xiaozhuo's biggest secret. He didn't expect that King Yikang would guess it so easily.

"There are many smart people in the world, and your father is one of the most powerful ones. He can guess some things naturally. But no matter how good they are, they still can't guess the reasons." Liu Shiwen comforted Chen Xiaozhuo first, Then he used this to let Chen Xiaozhuo know that he should not think that he is invincible just because of these abilities.

"I know, I will be more careful in the future." Chen Xiaozhuo looked really shocked.

Liu Shiwen also secretly reminded himself that he should try his best to let Chen Xiaozhuo use these things as little as possible in the future, otherwise it would be a big trouble if someone remembered it.

"Let's go back to the house." Liu Shiwen said and took Chen Xiaozhuo to the house.

After entering, Chen Xiaozhuo asked if he wanted to write a reply to King Yikang. Liu Shiwen thought about it for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "Your father is very busy now. We can't distract him anymore."

"Okay." Chen Xiaozhuo paused. After a pause, he followed Liu Shiwen and walked out of the space.

Now that there are guards standing in the courtyard of Youmingyuan, Chen Xiaozhuo rarely goes out to wander around.

He could only lie down by the window, looking outside and said: "I didn't expect that I would have to celebrate my birthday like this. My father can't come, and my master can't come either."

"But there are still father, right? You want to eat What? My father will do it for you." Liu Shiwen tried his best to divert Chen Xiaozhuo's attention.

Chen Xiaozhuo became energetic when he talked about eating. He took Liu Shiwen back to the space and took out a list he had written long ago.

Liu Shiwen saw that the itinerary from morning to evening had been arranged. Of course, the most important thing was food.

"Okay, you're really good."

Liu Shiwen didn't expect that Chen Xiaozhuo would make such a thing behind his back. Looking at his beautiful handwriting, Liu Shiwen laughed.

"Is it too hard for my father?" Chen Xiaozhuo came over and asked.

"No, it's once a year, whatever the father  are willing to do." Liu Shiwen knew that Chen Xiaozhuo was actually very lonely here, even though the relationship between father and son was very good.

But Chen Xiaozhuo still needs some peers to play with him.

There were some children over there in the shop, but Chen Xiaozhuo didn't play with them in his true self, and it wasn't easy either.

Liu Shiwen could only make up for Chen Xiaozhuo in other ways.

"Just wait, wait two more years, and we can go out and live freely. You will definitely have a lot of friends by then." Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo holding the pony statue given to him by King Yikang. Looking back at the game, I sighed more and more in my heart.

"Fortunately, my father asked me to bring some things in, otherwise they would have been taken away by those people."

Chen Xiaozhuo said happily.

Liu Shiwen nodded. He didn't dare to think how sad Chen Xiaozhuo would be if even this pony was taken away.

"Speaking of ponies, you don't seem to be riding that short pony much these days?" Liu Shiwen asked doubtfully.

Chen Xiaozhuo smiled to himself and said, "Don't I have so much free time?!"

Liu Shiwen thought about it and thought that Chen Xiaozhuo had to study, write and practice martial arts recently, and he had to endure the shocks outside. He really didn't have time to ride a horse.

"How about father also bring a horse over? Let's wait for your birthday and run to the hills with food to play." Liu Shiwen still wanted to make Chen Xiaozhuo's birthday more interesting.

"Okay, okay!" Chen Xiaozhuo was indeed interested.

Liu Shiwen thought about it for a while, and then combined it with Chen Xiaozhuo's list and made some changes.

These days, he and Chen Xiaozhuo didn't come out much in the house, just to prepare for Chen Xiaozhuo's birthday.

Especially Liu Shiwen carefully made a cake behind Chen Xiaozhuo's back.

"Tomorrow is my birthday, I'm really looking forward to it."

Chen Xiaozhuo was still mumbling before going to bed.

Liu Shiwen smiled and coaxed Chen Xiaozhuo to sleep.

While waiting for the next morning, the two father and son had just woken up when they heard footsteps outside.

It was Concubine Shu who sent someone to give Chen Xiaozhuo a birthday gift.

Chen Xiaozhuo was a little confused after hearing this, but Liu Shiwen next to him thought that it was probably Xia Yanliang who asked Concubine Shu to give it to her.

"It should be a gift from your master."

Liu Shiwen asked Chen Xiaozhuo to stand further away, and he opened the box lightly. There was a beautiful glazed pony inside, and next to it were four small gold ingots with the meaning of blessing.

"Your master doesn't have much money now, yet he gave you such a valuable thing." Liu Shiwen sighed softly.

"Then... why don't we let them go back?" Chen Xiaozhuo couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought that the yard where his master lived and the food he ate were so far behind him.

"That's not necessary. Your master is an adult after all, and he didn't return the gift just because of this." Liu Shiwen carefully put away the box.

Next to it were gifts from Concubine Shu, which were given according to Chen Xiaozhuo's zodiac sign. They were mainly about blessing piglets.

Liu Shiwen frowned as he looked at it, but he didn't know what kind of gift he should give in return.

"In this case, you can draw a picture and give it to your master." Liu Shiwen thought for a moment and said.

"Ah? But I have never learned to draw." Chen Xiaozhuo said with a bitter face.

"It's just that you haven't learned it so people won't notice it. Think about what you want to say to your master, and just use a painting to say it." Liu Shiwen thought about it himself, and finally boiled some eggs and gave them to Shu. The noble concubine should return the favor.

After all, this way is in line with his current living conditions, but Liu Shiwen also carefully drew something on the egg to make it appear more sincere.

Chapter 45 Birthday:

Liu Shiwen's painting skills are well-known among ladies and ladies in Beijing, so he is not worried about not being able to get his hands on his eggs.

On the other side, Chen Xiaozhuo yawned, and he drew a lot with a pen there.

Liu Shiwen couldn't stand it anymore and gave some pointers, and finally reluctantly drew a picture.

It's a picture of Xia Yanliang standing under a tree and instructing Chen Xiaozhuo in martial arts, but the lines are a little too simple.

"It's not bad." Liu Shiwen made a few final touches with the brush, and finally asked Chen Xiaozhuo to take it to dry out when it finally looked like a painting.

After Chen Xiaozhuo put the painting away, he started painting again with great interest.

"I'll draw one for Dad and let the fish bring it to him." Chen Xiaozhuo said.

Liu Shiwen nodded, leaving Chen Xiaozhuo painting there while he went into the space to prepare his morning meal.

In the morning, naturally I have to eat a bowl of noodles.

Liu Shiwen used fresh eggs and carefully seasoned them with green vegetables before making them. Six kinds of side dishes were put on small plates and placed there, and he also carved as many small animals as possible to put on the plate.

"We're almost ready."

Liu Shiwen sat there and called Chen Xiaozhuo to come in.

Chen Xiaozhuo also brought his paintings into the space. Liu Shiwen took him there first to wash and change into the brocade clothes he bought. With gold and jade all over his body, Chen Xiaozhuo seemed like a noble young master.

Especially Chen Xiaozhuo's natural fair skin, which is not so obvious in summer, will become more obvious when he gets into autumn skin.

His facial features are gradually revealed, his eyebrows are slightly deeper, the bridge of his nose is straighter, and his lips are red, like a miniature version of a noble prince.

Of course, I also want a smaller version of King Yi Kang.

Liu Shiwen reluctantly found something on Chen Xiaozhuo's face that looked like his own.

"Doesn't look good?" Chen Xiaozhuo said, feeling a little embarrassed.

"How could it be?! Xiaozhuo is very good-looking." Liu Shiwen said with a smile, picking up Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo blushed when he was praised. He twisted a few times, and finally hugged Liu Shiwen, kissed him and said, "I'm so happy that Xiaozhuo can celebrate his birthday with his father ."

"So does my father." Liu Shiwen With that said, he took Chen Xiaozhuo over to have breakfast.

"Long life."

Liu Shiwen clapped his hands and said.

Chen Xiaozhuo also imitated what he said, and the two father and son looked at each other and laughed.

"Meow."

The big cat outside the door ran in at this time.

"Oh, why are you wearing clothes?" Chen Xiaozhuo saw the big orange cat coming over wearing clothes similar to his own, looking particularly majestic.

"Father... I'm not a cat." Chen Xiaozhuo protested, but still happily hugged the orange cat and rubbed it.

The orange cat meowed and struggled to run away.

Chen Xiaozhuo stopped chasing the cat because of his new clothes. He ran to the side of the house and saw that the table was full of things his father  had bought for him.

Everything was packed in a box, and Chen Xiaozhuo opened it happily. Some of them were from the space, and some were bought from outside, but there were many styles.

Mainly it's the sense of mystery of not knowing what's inside.

"Is it fun?" Liu Shiwen finished cleaning the house and walked over and asked with a smile.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded, took a piece of fruit and handed it to Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen took a bite and led Chen Xiaozhuo towards him.

Outside, a big horse neighed and came over with a small pony.

Chen Xiaozhuo was even more excited and happy when he saw the big horse. He cheered and ran over. After a few glances, the big horse lowered his head slightly and let Chen Xiaozhuo touch it.

Chen Xiaozhuo is very good at capturing the favor of animals.

However, the animal with the highest number of favorability peaches is only three.

"Is this my father's concubine's?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked, looking at the big horse.

"Well, my father and I will take you for a run?" Liu Shiwen still knew how to ride a horse. After he finished speaking, he hugged Chen Xiaozhuo and got on the horse.

Chen Xiaozhuo's eyes were bright and exciting, and he said nervously: "Father, run slowly first."

"Okay."

Liu Shiwen was able to ride a horse himself, and he also practiced hard for a while in order to be able to ride a horse in the future.

Riding a horse is very easy now.

"Drive."

The tall white horse started running slowly, running past the orchard and pond, all the way towards the hillside path, circling towards the top of the mountain.

The blue sky was getting lower and lower. Liu Shiwen controlled the horse to run slowly. After waiting to get up, he stood there with Chen Xiaozhuo. Looking down, he could see that his own space was already quite beautiful. Looks like it.

An eagle's call came from the sky, and Chen Xiaozhuo cheered as the eagle circled above them.

After seeing the orange cat below, it ran along the path for a while, and finally turned into a big tiger and ran over.

Chen Xiaozhuo shouted happily when he saw the tiger running towards him.

The white horse Liu Shiwen was riding neighed in fear.

Liu Shiwen hurriedly asked Chen Xiaozhuo to change the tiger back.

Chen Xiaozhuo waved his hand, and the excited tiger turned into an orange cat again when he saw Chen Xiaozhuo.

After Chen Xiaozhuo went down, he hugged the orange cat over.

Liu Shiwen rode down again, put the two baskets away, and headed up the hillside with the food he prepared.

There is a small wooden house prepared by Liu Shiwen on the hillside.

The two of them ran and played on the hillside for a while, and when it was almost noon, they took out the novelty food Liu Shiwen had prepared and started eating it.

Chen Xiaozhuo was very curious and happy when he looked at everything he had never seen before.

Liu Shiwen was very happy when he saw him being so supportive.

We played for a while while eating.

Liu Shiwen felt very happy after seeing Chen Xiaozhuo return to his former childlike appearance. Speaking of which, he might not have run around here for a long time.

"Huh...huh...I can't do it anymore, take a rest."

Liu Shiwen was the first to be unable to hold on.

Chen Xiaozhuo watched Liu Shiwen surrender with bright eyes, and he ate with Liu Shiwen for a while.

"Take the kite and fly it here for fun."

Liu Shiwen said and took the kite out of the wooden house.

Chen Xiaozhuo wanted a kite when he was in the palace but had no chance to get it.

Now I see smiles on my face.

Liu Shiwen didn't fly the kite well at first. The tired Chen Xiaozhuo was funny and angry, but he didn't expect that his father couldn't fly the kite.

"Okay, okay."

Liu Shiwen also blushed and finally flew the kite.

A kite was flying in the sky in the distance. Liu Shiwen sat there and watched Chen Xiaozhuo chase the kite for a while.

The flying eagle in the sky was very excited after seeing the kite, and flew after the kite.

Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo looked at it in a strange way. The two of them looked at it for a long time, and Chen Xiaozhuo yawned while waiting.

Liu Shiwen put away the kite and took Chen Xiaozhuo into the wooden house.

In the wooden house, furniture and a small bed were prepared according to Chen Xiaozhuo's size.

Chen Xiaozhuo's eyes were very bright when he looked at it. Compared with other houses, Chen Xiaozhuo was happier.

Liu Shiwen gave a key to Chen Xiaozhuo and said that this house would belong to Chen Xiaozhuo from now on.

Chen Xiaozhuo held the key and walked around the house, especially when going upstairs was a smooth wooden slide. Since there was nothing upstairs, it was better to say that this slide was just for added fun.

Liu Shiwen asked Chen Xiaozhuo to take off his shoes and play with them. Chen Xiaozhuo screamed and made noise for almost an entire afternoon.

"Okay, why do you look like a cat?" Liu Shiwen said and hugged Chen Xiaozhuo over.

Chen Xiaozhuo was sweating.

Liu Shiwen wiped it for him, while Chen Xiaozhuo still looked at the slide with bright eyes.

"Let's rest for a while and show up in the house, otherwise others will think what happened to us." Liu Shiwen didn't dare to be too relaxed now.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded, the two of them cleaned up and retreated from the space.

Chen Xiaozhuo didn't expect that Liu Shiwen would be so well prepared and interesting for his birthday. He was sitting here, his eyes still bright, looking at Liu Shiwen, obviously still thinking about the slide.

Liu Shiwen gave him a look and was about to say something when the window suddenly opened slightly and a note floated in.

Liu Shiwen looked around in surprise.

Chen Xiaozhuo whispered that a patrolling guard threw it in.

Liu Shiwen grabbed the note and looked at it, only to see that it said: "Look at the sky tonight."

"What do you mean?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked in confusion.

Liu Shiwen thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Maybe it's a birthday surprise prepared by your father-in-law for your birthday."

Chen Xiaozhuo opened his eyes wide in surprise after hearing this.

Liu Shiwen hissed.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded obediently, and the two of them pretended that nothing happened until the evening.

"I wonder what dad has prepared for me."

Chen Xiaozhuo couldn't help but look outside in anticipation. The sky outside gradually darkened.

But nothing different happened.

"Dad, someone is coming."

At this moment, Chen Xiaozhuo nervously grabbed Liu Shiwen's hand.

The courtyard door opened, and two rows of people came in. The eunuch came over to say that His Majesty said that today was Chen Xiaozhuo's birthday, and a banquet was specially set up for you two to come over.

"You don't need to celebrate a child's birthday like this." Liu Shiwen grabbed Chen Xiaozhuo's hand and said with a smile on his face as his heart sank.

"Then we can't take care of it. Please invite me." As soon as the eunuch raised his hand, the guards came over.

Liu Shiwen had no choice but to block and said, "Let's just leave."

"Father ..." Chen Xiaozhuo called out in a low voice. He looked around, still expecting that his father-in-law might come over and give him a surprise. What if the place suddenly changes?

Liu Shiwen sneered and walked outside with Chen Xiaozhuo.

When they went out, they vaguely saw two figures, one large and one small, standing at the door.

"Let's go!"

The guard pushed.

Liu Shiwen glanced at the two figures again, and his heart started to beat wildly.

Although in his opinion this kind of stand-in trap was too childish, he was afraid that if he chose today, it would greatly irritate King Yikang.

If he couldn't find himself and Chen Xiaozhuo...

Liu Shiwen squeezed Chen Xiaozhuo's fingers. In the dark place, the sparrow flapped its wings twice and flew quietly outside the palace.

Chapter 46 Returning to Lihua Palace

"Father, where are we going?"

On the way there, the palace lanterns became brighter and brighter until they reached an intersection. Liu Shiwen paused in his steps.

This is actually the Lihua Palace where he lived when he was Concubine Liu.

Liu Shiwen looked at the entrance of the palace and laughed silently.

On the way here, he thought about many dark and terrifying things, but when he got here, he suddenly remembered that no matter what, His Majesty the Emperor and Concubine Shu were the protagonists of the book.

Although they jumped out of the plot first, their standards as protagonists are still there, and as protagonists they should not do anything too tragic.

They can do some evil things on the surface, but the essence will always be good.

With this in mind, some of the crazy thoughts in Liu Shiwen's mind temporarily calmed down.

Of course Liu Shiwen did not relax completely, because he knew that what he was experiencing now was not the plot in the book.

But according to the emperor's plan, this move will definitely not be simple.

"As long as it doesn't hurt me and Xiaozhuo, let your majesty fight with King Yikang. After all, it's all hatred accumulated over generations, and it will be uncomfortable if we don't express it."

Liu Shiwen stood at the door of Lihua Palace, feeling filled with worry. Thousands of sighs.

Chen Xiaozhuo also stood there as if in a dream.

At first, he just brought the snacks given to him by his father  to show off, but he didn't want to be robbed of a few pieces because he failed to show off, and the second emperor brother wanted to eat more.

He was caught and thrown into the cold palace while he was running.

Now standing at the door again, Chen Xiaozhuo felt a little dizzy.

"Come in, empress."

The palace door opened, and all the palace attendants inside were new. They looked at Liu Shiwen and called out softly.

"What did you call me? I am no longer a queen." Liu Shiwen said mockingly.

The palace maid lowered her head and stopped talking.

Liu Shiwen became more and more confused as he walked inside.

After waiting for him to enter, the eunuch came in with the imperial edict and calmly announced the imperial edict for the concubine's promotion.

Liu Shiwen sounded like he was praising others, but when he was waiting to receive the imperial edict, the eunuch looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "Empress Li, will you receive the edict from the fifth prince?!"

Liu Shiwen looked at the eunuch , a little defensive and a little confused, said: "Eunuch, I don't know how to accept this imperial edict. I am the Liu family who was deported to the cold palace, not the Liu family of Xunnan, and my child's name is Xiaozhuo, and I am not some Wen family. Prince Ji."

"No, Leng Palace Liu and his children are still staying in Leng Palace. You are the newly promoted Empress Li. Congratulations to the Empress and the Prince."

The eunuch waved his hand, and the maids and eunuchs gathered around him. Come here to congratulate Liu Shiwen and his son.

"What does this mean? I am still Li's concubine? What will happen to the Liu family and his son?" Liu Shiwen couldn't help but asked with a sneer.

"This has nothing to do with you." After the eunuch finished speaking, he looked at Liu Shiwen, and finally said in a low voice to comfort: "It was Concubine Shu who begged for your mercy and fished you two out. Now there is chaos outside. You should keep your child here."

"Concubine Shu?" Liu Shiwen smiled silently, and then looked at the eunuch and said, "Then we can walk around the palace as we please?

" "Concubine Li likes to be quiet. She worships the Buddha and doesn't see any guests. Prince Wenji can walk."

"That's all, then Wenji should also follow me to worship the Buddha." Liu Shiwen said.

"It's up to you. As long as you don't cause trouble, we can all talk." After saying this, the eunuch looked at the two people. The palace maid and eunuch came over and helped Liu Shiwen up with a smile.

Liu Shiwen's eyes flickered. He knew that he and Xiao Zhuo had been replaced by others, and he was afraid that the emperor would make a fuss about his and Xiao Zhuo's names in the future.

Now what Liu Shiwen thinks about is that the Cui family lineage of Chen Xiaozhuo must not be continued.

No matter how far the emperor and King Yikang fought, as long as King Yikang had no heirs, the Cui family would have no legitimate direct lineage, and naturally they would have no qualifications to compete for the throne.

If Mrs. Cui talks about other things, Mrs. Chen will also have excuses.

"I didn't expect that Xiaozhuo would be so important." Liu Shiwen discovered that Chen Xiaozhuo was actually involved in the ownership of the throne. It was really... it made people feel inexplicably strange and complicated.

Being a concubine here, although you don't have to be so frightened by the name of the Liu family, it is even more difficult for Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo to behave here because of the many eyes and miscellaneous people here.

With so many people here, there are too many places to attack, and it sounds like it is even more dangerous than before.

"Fortunately, Chen Xiaozhuo still has a good impression of Tao Zi. All we have to do is let him use his strength." Liu Shiwen chuckled.

Speaking of which, Chen Xiaozhuo's golden finger is suitable for use in this kind of environment, especially since it involves so many concubines, queens, princes and princesses.

A sinister smile appeared on Liu Shiwen's face, and he thought to himself: "It's better to be a villain for real."

"Father "

Chen Xiaozhuo heard that he would no longer be called Chen Xiaozhuo, but instead would be called Wen Ji. I don't like being awkward very much, which is really hard to understand for a six-year-old child.

"It's okay, you're just like being called Master Dou Bao outside. You just act like Prince Wen Ji here."

Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo to the bedroom, kicked everyone out, and then walked in the space Said inside.

Chen Xiaozhuo was still frowning. Today was his birthday but these things happened, which made him very unhappy.

"I don't know if Father Wang will come to see me? He doesn't know that I moved here, so he might not be able to find me." Chen Xiaozhuo said sadly.

"No, your father is so smart that he must have known that we have been moved, and I think the surprise he mentioned was not coming here to see you."

While Liu Shiwen was talking, there was another movement outside.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo walked out of the space. At that moment, they heard a rumbling sound from outside.

"It's nothing, it seems that someone is setting off fireworks in the imperial city."

The palace maid who came in said with a cold face.

"Fireworks?" Liu Shiwen said as he went to the window and opened it, and saw fireworks starting to be set off everywhere in the imperial city.

"Wen Ji, come and take a look."

Liu Shiwen smiled and waved Chen Xiaozhuo over.

"Wow, it's a little pig!"

Chen Xiaozhuo couldn't help but laugh in surprise when he saw that the fireworks turned out to be like little pigs.

"Your Majesty, the wind is strong at night, and it won't be good if it blows." The palace maid said and came over to close the window.

"Although it's a lie, I'm still your master after all. You'd better not go too far." Liu Shiwen stretched out his hand to press the window, looked at the palace maid with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Why don't you ask His Majesty again?" Come?"

The palace maid looked at Liu Shiwen, her face sank and she actually went out.

Chen Xiaozhuo grabbed Liu Shiwen's hand, but Liu Shiwen pointed to the sky and said, "Look, this all belongs to you."

Chen Xiaozhuo was picked up by Liu Shiwen and looked at the fireworks all over the imperial city. They all popped up, but unfortunately there was no movement soon after the sound.

"You are so petty."

Liu Shiwen knew that it must be the emperor who went out to ask people to catch the person who set off the fireworks.

Everyone knew at a glance that the fireworks were to celebrate Chen Xiaozhuo's birthday.

"It's going off again!"

Chen Xiaozhuo originally gave up hope, but soon the fireworks started going off again, and they continued intermittently all night long.

"That's enough."

Liu Shi couldn't stand it until the end.

Fortunately, the commotion lasted until midnight, probably thinking that it was time for Chen Xiaozhuo to go to bed, so the fireworks finally disappeared.

"Go to sleep." Liu Shiwen said and patted Chen Xiaozhuo. He first took Chen Xiaozhuo back to the space to sleep, while he actually slept outside.

Outside, there were two palace maids taking turns waiting to serve them, or in other words, to monitor them.

"Empress, Prince, wake up."

Liu Shiwen and his son were woken up at dawn the next day.

"What time is it?"

Liu Shiwen always slept until he woke up naturally in Leng Palace and Youmingyuan. Now he was woken up suddenly and he felt dizzy.

"Your Majesty, it's time for us to get up. If we don't pack up, it will be too late to go to the Queen's Palace." The maid said anxiously.

"Ah? What did you say? I don't worship Buddha, so I don't see guests?" Liu Shiwen said confusedly.

"Although we say we won't see guests, we still have to abide by the rules." The palace maid added, "You are still the concubine who was promoted yesterday. Why don't you go out and meet the ladies?"

Liu Shiwen felt irritable after hearing this. It didn't work, so he had to get up and tidy up.

Chen Xiaozhuo almost cried because he didn't get enough sleep.

The palace maid looked at the aggrieved look of these two people. They looked as if they had come from the cold palace, as if they had crawled out of the lazy lair of the country landlord.

Who in this palace sleeps so late?

"Master, are you up?"

Qingcai walked in with a smile.

"Why are you here too?" Liu Shiwen asked.

"Hehe, the servants have also been transferred to serve you, Concubine Li." Qing Cai said and helped clean up.

"What is this?"

When waiting for the end, the palace maid came over with powder.

Liu Shiwen hurriedly blocked his hand and said: "I don't need this. I rely on my moral character to get to the position. I don't need to cover up like this. Forget it."

The palace maid looked at Liu's look like that. Everything else was good, but that The scar looks like it has been scratched by a ghost, and it makes people feel inexplicably scared and painful just looking at it.

"Let's go, let's go, it's going to be too late if we do any more ink."

Liu Shiwen said and took Chen Xiaozhuo as he got up and walked towards the queen's palace.

Nowadays, the queen and the emperor are on the same level, and it is a time when she is in an extremely bad mood. If she is late, she may be caught and punished.

"Father, isn't that the third prince brother?"

Chen Xiaozhuo was walking away when he saw the third prince standing not far away with his head tilted. A nun next to him was pointing at the third prince and saying something.

"Ahem."

Liu Shiwen coughed. The grandma and the third prince glanced here, and the grandma hurriedly pulled the third prince away.

Liu Shiwen smiled. Without saying anything, he took Chen Xiaozhuo directly towards the Queen's Sifeng Palace. He hadn't come back for a long time. He planned to take Chen Xiaozhuo to harvest a wave of favor peaches first, and by the way, bring the emperor's The murky waters in the harem were even more chaotic.

It was also to let the emperor know that he and Chen Xiaozhuo could not be manipulated at will.

Chapter 47 First Visit

"Come, come!"

When Liu Shiwen and his son came over, a lot of people had already gathered in the Queen's Palace.

Before Liu Shiwen and his son were canonized, these people in the palace already knew about His Majesty's will.

Although I don't know why Mrs. Liu has committed such a capital crime, why His Majesty treats her so leniently, and I don't know why you want to call Mrs. Liu back from the cold palace and canonize her as a concubine.

"Could it be that His Majesty wants to favor him again?"

Some people also raised such doubts, but they thought of Liu Shiwen's face and a person like Chen Xiaozhuo.

If their Majesty is not stupid, he will definitely touch the Liu family again.

"These have His Majesty's profound meaning. Just think of them as the newly arrived Concubine Li and Prince Wen Ji. Don't ask any other questions."

The Queen spoke, and everyone agreed.

Recently, the Queen has punished and reprimanded her concubines more and more often. Some concubines will even be pointed out and reprimanded if they make mistakes.

Everyone understood the Queen's emotional changes.

After all, everyone already knows that the Queen's family has been targeted by His Majesty recently.

It was only because of Cui's side that His Majesty was reluctant to take action directly.

Let's talk about the battle for the prince. Ever since the eldest prince collided with His Majesty, everyone has secretly excluded the eldest prince from the outside.

Unless the queen's lineage has astonishing achievements, it will be too difficult for the eldest prince to ascend the throne.

If the eldest prince and the third prince were gone, then there would only be two or three remaining princes, and the ones that could be counted were even inferior to the three-year-old sixth prince.

Nowadays, Concubine Shu is the only one favored by Concubine Shu. His Majesty is no longer talking about the number of times he has favored her. Instead, he lives with Concubine Shu like a family.

Who wouldn't be jealous of such a favor?

However, Concubine Shu accidentally made a great contribution to life and death, and later the Queen Mother was soft-spoken to her when she was ill. Now that His Majesty is like this, no one dares to say anything.

Some people also tried to find fault with Concubine Shu, but this person rarely came out. If anyone tried to test him, he would punish her in strange ways.

Everyone knew that he was a medical concubine with superb medical skills. If you provoke him, you might accidentally bring disaster upon yourself.

In the past, Concubine Shu didn't want to be discovered that she had medical skills.

But after that illness, he became much bolder and more powerful, making it difficult for people to "get along" with him.

"Well, it's just because His Majesty favors him now."

While everyone was talking, they heard an announcement from outside that Li Concubine and her son had arrived.

All the people looked over at once.

Those familiar yet unfamiliar eyes made Liu Shiwen pause for a moment. Every time he entered this environment after passing through the book, he felt that it was a dreamlike beauty.

Wearing skirts, hairpins, and robes, intertwined with silver flowers and gold hairpins, everyone has his or her own beauty. The entire Queen's Palace is also gorgeously and neatly decorated, making people gasp in admiration as soon as they enter.

"Concubine Li pays homage to the Queen." Liu Shiwen said and took Chen Xiaozhuo to salute.

Chen Xiaozhuo also said that Wen Ji had met the Queen Mother.

"Get up." The queen said, and when Liu Shiwen looked up, everyone saw several twisted and terrifying scars on his once handsome and beautiful face, scratched from under his eyebrows, and everyone who looked at them couldn't help but frown.

The queen also saw him like this, and her anger at him for refusing her summons was reduced a lot. Looking at Chen Xiaozhuo, the child had grown a lot, and his little face was becoming more and more handsome.

Everyone is glad that this child is a brother even though he has a bad background. Otherwise, if he were the flesh and blood prince of the real emperor, he would probably be able to compete for the crown prince position just like this.

Chen Xiaozhuo was told by Liu Shiwen to win the favor of these concubines and queens. He put on a business smile, a little timid and a little sweet smile was enough.

Everyone who looked at Chen Xiaozhuo felt inexplicably empty in their hearts.

Chen Xiaozhuo's abilities have also improved. Now, as long as he wants to make people like him, the chance of success is relatively high.

Sure enough, everyone soon started to praise Chen Xiaozhuo.

I asked Chen Xiaozhuo back and forth how his food and accommodation were.

Chen Xiaozhuo followed Liu Shiwen's instructions and said everything simply, but he couldn't be more pitiful.

"This kid is really good at talking."

Everyone asked a few questions, and Chen Xiaozhuo answered them one by one. Although his voice was not loud, it was clear enough, and there was no fault in his words.

"It's Empress Li Bi who knows how to raise children." Someone said in a lukewarm tone, which made people feel embarrassed. Although they didn't say clearly whose child Li Bi was, everyone knew in their hearts.

You can't just be someone who belongs to His Majesty the Emperor and praise other people's children.

In this way, everyone shut up and stopped talking.

"Today is a good day for Concubine Li to be conferred, but Concubine Shu doesn't even come?"

After a while, someone said something unsettling.

The person next to him sighed, reminding the person not to talk too much.

"She, she is now a more valuable person than this queen. I can't even call her..."

While the queen was talking, there was a sound of Concubine Shu arriving outside.

The queen was stunned, sneered, and saw Concubine Shu slowly walking in at the door.

He bowed politely, but the queen didn't ask him to get up.

Upon seeing this, Liu Shi smelled the smell of a villain in a palace fight about to appear.

He remembered that in the original book, this was when Liu Bi jumped out to sarcastically question Concubine Shu.

But today it was someone else.

The other party is also an old acquaintance, similar in temperament to Liu Bin, but looks a little worse than Liu Bin.

"You are so arrogant. Today is the day when Concubine Li is ennobled and will meet with the palace. The Empress has already sent a message asking people to come earlier. How dare you put on such airs? You will not give Concubine Li any face, but you will also get hurt. Queen's heart." The man shouted for a while.

The people nearby had long been unhappy to see Concubine Shu dominating His Majesty the Emperor, and they all spoke in unison.

Liu Shiwen stood aside, feeling more and more that this scene was too familiar.

"That's enough!" the queen shouted, and everyone saluted and said to the queen, please calm down.

"Shu Guifei, you have not taken me seriously for a day or two. I originally thought of you for your merits and never treated you lightly. Today you are really too presumptuous!"

The queen's voice gradually became louder, and everyone's attention was focused on Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu did not change her expression in the face of the queen's anger, and then said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't mean to be late, I really have something to hide."

"How dare you! You dare to talk back!" A concubine on the other side jumped out and shouted. There was a sound.

Liu Shiwen had already covered his cheek. He remembered that the emperor would come over at about this time.

"Concubine Shu came late. It's entirely Gu's fault. If the queen wants to punish her, let it be on Gu's head."

Sure enough, a deep voice came.

All the concubines were shocked. When they turned around, they saw His Majesty the Emperor coming with someone.

"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

Everyone in the palace knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty... Could it be that you are not even willing to give this bit of face to me? What do you mean it is your Majesty's fault, and what will your Majesty do to your concubines?" When the queen saw the emperor coming over, she began to cry, and everyone's expression changed.

"The Queen." The nanny next to her hurriedly whispered and pulled the Queen.

"Queen, that's not what I mean. Don't think about it too much." His Majesty the Emperor said in a deep voice.

The queen's teeth chattered, and she pointed at Concubine Shu and said, "I have taken over the position of queen and have the right to regulate the affairs of the harem. If your majesty stops me today, it will be the death of my concubines!"

"The queen is serious! "The emperor frowned. He glanced at Concubine Shu, and then said irritably: "It wasn't necessarily news at first, but now I have to say that Concubine Shu may be pregnant."

"Ah . ? "

As soon as His Majesty the Emperor said this, the whole audience was shocked and speechless.

"If that's the case, that's a great thing. Why didn't the imperial concubine speak earlier, but instead made everyone misunderstand you?" Wang Guifei said with a smile.

"It's true that this matter is not certain yet. I dare not say anything in advance. Instead, I will make everyone happy in vain." Concubine Shu said with a somewhat embarrassed voice.

"Moreover, after Concubine Shu came in, no one gave him any chance to speak. Concubine Shu wanted to defend herself. Is it time for you two to speak to others?"

Concubine Shu was not without help.

"The Queen!"

Just as he was saying this, someone suddenly exclaimed and saw the Queen falling down the steps.

"Oh, Queen!"

Suddenly there was a chaos in the palace, and many people rushed over.

His Majesty the Emperor reacted quickly and rushed over to hug the Queen, but he saw that the Queen actually vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Concubine Shu!" the emperor shouted in a low voice.

Concubine Shu hurriedly walked over, stretched out her hand and took out her golden needle.

"No... don't...!" The queen slowly opened her eyes and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Who dares to kill my queen! I will fight with you!"

the eldest prince's voice came from behind.

"Oh, my little ancestor wants to save your mother!" The people over there hurriedly stopped him.

"Everyone, stand down, Doctor Xuan!" The emperor stood up and shouted angrily. Everyone hurriedly stopped. Those who needed to leave left, and those who needed to come in came in.

Liu Shiwen grabbed Chen Xiaozhuo's hand and followed the others out of the room.

No one dared to say a word while on the road.

Chen Xiaozhuo was also frightened.

Neither of them expected to encounter such a scene.

"Why are you back so soon? Your Majesty." Qingcai didn't know what happened yet. When he saw Liu Shiwen suddenly coming over with Chen Xiaozhuo with a heavy look on his face, he asked hurriedly.

The maids in the palace also frowned and gathered around, thinking that Liu Shiwen had caused some trouble.

Liu Shiwen sat there, calmed his breathing and said, "Don't ask, you will know later, just be honest."

"This..."

After Qingcai heard this, he treated him with his words . Liu Shiwen understood that it must be very serious to say something like this, so he hurriedly shut up and stepped back without asking.

"What's going on? Could it be that the master has caused some trouble?" the leading maid asked anxiously.

Liu Shiwen looked at her, sneered, and said, "Do you really want to know? Or do you dare to know?"

Chapter 48:

When the maid of the immortal figure King Yikang saw Liu Shiwen like this, she was not a fool. She withdrew with a sullen face and sent someone to inquire.

After asking, I found out about the quarrel in the Queen's palace today. The Queen actually fell down the steps.

The eldest prince also spoke rudely to His Majesty the Emperor.

Now the queen's mother clan has gone to the palace to plead guilty, but the emperor did not punish her. Instead, he called the queen's mother clan to come and look at the queen.

Concubine Shu used the needle first, and the empress had been rescued.

The rest will naturally be taken care of by the royal physician in the palace.

The queen finally woke up probably two days later.

She first asked the eldest prince to kneel in front of His Majesty, while she gave way to Feng Yin.

As soon as this move came out, the court could not sit still.

The queen is the mother of the country, and for a queen to come to this point, it would be too much for her majesty to show any signs of it.

Everyone's intention is to let His Majesty relent and train the eldest prince as a heir apparent first, and then forget it if it really doesn't work out later.

"Jiangshan Sheji is child's play!" Without thinking of His Majesty, he firmly rejected it.

The queen has been ill since then, and the queen's mother clan has united all its forces in the court to resist His Majesty's orders.

At the same time, the Cui family also got angry, saying that the Chen family's emperor was immoral and the harem was unstable. This was the retribution for Chen's untrustworthiness.

"Ms. Cui intends to help the people of the country!"

Ms. Cui also started agitating outside, and the entire Chen Dynasty seemed to be in a state of turmoil for a while.

Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo could only stay quietly in the palace, not daring to make any unnecessary movements, and were always ready to run away.

In this way, the storm continued until the end of winter.

The Xingnian Rebellion finally broke out.

The crisis of war that started at the border quickly spread.

As the general elected by the queen's mother clan, he was quickly exposed for his incompetence, but Yueyu City was destroyed.

Corruption incidents involving the Queen's family were exposed one after another.

Xia Yanliang, also known as Shu Ning'an, was quickly activated by His Majesty.

"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Shu Ning'an saluted in his battle armor and looked at his pregnant brother.

They knew that this time was not only a crisis, but also the best opportunity for the Shu family's injustice to be vindicated. As long as Shu Ning'an could calm down the border, other things would naturally be easy to talk about.

But they also know that this is not an easy task.

Concubine Shu spent a month carefully researching poisons and various medicines for this purpose and gave them to her brother.

As support, various people from all walks of life who had been supported by the Shu family also gathered together and became a master assassination team.

Among them, the second male character in this book is the leader of a larger organization in the world, and naturally he wants to help Shu Ning'an with all his strength.

"The most difficult thing now is the Cui family. If the Cui family takes action at this time, we may not be able to defeat it."

There is no longer a debate in the court about the position of the prince. Survival is the most important thing.

"Master Shengci has already gone to the Cui family. Master Shengci has a life-saving grace for the Cui family, and he may be able to save it for a while."

After the emperor said this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said to Concubine Shu "What's more, don't we still have the Liu family and his son in our hands?"

"Your Majesty wants to exchange the Liu family and his son?" Concubine Shu asked with a slight frown.

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu like that, and he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to use such means, but the current situation is really too critical." "

Your Majesty, our people have received a letter from Mrs. Cui."

Soon a letter from Cui was sent, saying that she was going to Beijing to assist the country, so that His Majesty the Emperor could concentrate on dealing with the border chaos.

"What?"

Concubine Shu also didn't expect Cui to be so bold and take action so quickly.

They took action before the court took action, but they interrupted the emperor's arrangement.

The emperor was not an ordinary person. He said with a serious face: "Okay, Cui, very good!", and finally summoned the ministers directly to actually let Cui come to the capital.

"Isn't he going to help the country? I just want to see if he has this ability!" The emperor's words shocked the entire court and even the imperial city.

The people of the imperial city spontaneously protested against Cui's entry into the imperial city.

After all, the Cui family's ancestors also produced several crazy emperors, but they were not as normal as the Chen family's.

Now that Cui is taking advantage of the chaos on the border to go to Beijing to collect debts, it makes people feel even more inferior.

Faced with these resistances, Cui didn't take them seriously.

A huge procession of dragons spread out, and the dragon chair of the Cui Dynasty was carried into the imperial city.

On the city wall, the flying eagle chirped once and slowly disappeared.

King Yikang looked up at the flying eagle that was gradually disappearing, with a sickly red color on his pale cheeks.

"Cough cough cough!"

King Yikang coughed a few times, and a little bit of blood fell on the handkerchief.

"Open the curtain and let me see what this imperial city looks like." King Yikang's voice sounded in a low voice.

"Master, the snow is falling outside."

The servants of the Cui family naturally did not want King Yikang to see the people who resisted them.

"Open!" King Yikang shouted, then coughed again. He picked up the medicine bag and smelled it a few times, and finally felt better.

A little bit of cold wind blew over and the car curtain opened.

Everyone has only heard of the reputation of King Yikang of the Cui family, but they have never seen his appearance.

When the car curtain opened, even if they resisted, they were still very curious about King Yikang. After all, he was the one who should be their emperor.

Cui's reputation in the north had long been ruined by the Chen family. When he arrived at King Yikang's house, it was rumored that he had a mad disease since he was a child and needed to drink blood to cure his illness.

When he grew up, he came to the capital several times, but no matter how much commotion King Yi Kang made, he just ended up hanging around in the circle of the powerful.

As long as there is a little mistake, it will be spread a hundred times and a thousand times.

In the eyes of the people in the imperial city, he was also a ferocious man, and he might be very ugly...

"Hiss..."

After King Yikang showed his face, the people who were still shouting stopped their voices.

In that book, the author spent a lot of writing and words to describe this scene.

It was also here that Yoo Se-wen truly became a die-hard fan of King Uikang.

Now the time has almost reached this point.

When Liu Shiwen heard that King Yikang was coming to Beijing, he took Chen Xiaozhuo out of the space at the risk and squeezed into the crowd.

The snow in the sky is falling continuously, and the cold wind is blowing the long robe of King Yikang. On such a day, he is not very prosperous in wearing gold and silver.

On the contrary, he was wearing a simple robe, and his black hair was blown down by the wind. The lines of facial features drawn by pen and ink combined with his slightly opened eyes due to the wind and snow instantly made people stop breathing.

Cui's team was very luxurious and domineering, but now that they thought that there was a person who looked like a god sitting in the car, everyone seemed to understand.

It was even more distressing to see King Yikang coughing slightly when the wind blew him.

When the person next to him whispered to him to get in the car and not come out, he suddenly laughed in a certain direction.

At that moment, many people exclaimed.

But before everyone had time to appreciate that unusually warm smile, the heavy car curtain had already fallen.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

The people watched quietly as Cui's team entered the imperial palace.

"It turns out that King Yikang is such a divine figure."

When the crowd dispersed, more than one person said this.

"Dad."

Liu Shiwen, who was stunned there, was pulled by Chen Xiaozhuo. He reacted and hurriedly took Chen Xiaozhuo back to the palace.

Now the entire palace is constantly moving people because Cui is coming in.

His Majesty the Emperor even dismissed many people in the palace because of this, and a sad atmosphere spread in the palace for a while.

The lower-ranking concubines kept gathering together, and no one was talking about competing for favor at this time.

If the Cui family really became their way of survival, where would they be?

The queen is ill and does not see anyone.

Concubine Shu, with her big belly, cooperated with the Queen Mother to arrange the affairs of the harem.

It was also here that everyone felt that Concubine Shu was more kind and considerate than others, and with him around, everyone could get answers to any questions they had.

"I heard that Ms. Cui will be coming in in the next two days." Qingcai also came over to talk, his eyes filled with excitement and expectation.

If Mrs. Cui comes in, then Chen Xiaozhuo will be the crown prince, and Mrs. Liu will be at least a noble concubine, right?

Then he might be able to become a general manager if he asks for money.

It's a pity that there has been no movement here. Liu Shiwen looked very strange after entering the imperial city from the Cui family.

Waiting to move later, Liu Shiwen took the initiative to find Concubine Shu and expressed his willingness to give up Lihua Palace.

Although Concubine Shu was a little surprised when she heard this, she quickly agreed.

Liu Shiwen and his son were allowed to live in Qingsong Villa. Although the house there was smaller, they still lived there by themselves. Compared with Lihua Palace, there were many fewer people staring at them.

It was winter, and the entire palace was frighteningly cold.

Concubine Shu allocated a batch of her own silver carbon for the palace people to use for the winter, but everyone knew that he was the one who was going to give birth, so how could they want it from him.

But Concubine Shu said that in the face of a great crisis, she naturally wanted to tide over the difficulties together with everyone.

Because of these, the palace people became more and more united.

Compared with the hardships here, after Cui entered the palace, all kinds of luxurious pomp and circumstance were as if half of the palace was burning red with charcoal fire.

"I heard that King Yikang also donated some to the Queen Mother, but she was thrown out of the door."

Everyone in the palace was whispering about the various evil deeds of King Yikang after entering the palace, but among the rumors of all kinds of evil deeds , will always be mixed with the admiration of the palace people for King Yikang's appearance and bearing, saying that he simply did not come to be an emperor, but instead seemed to be a winter fairy who came to the world.

"You're not such a bad-looking immortal, right?"

Chen Xiaozhuo used his little sparrow to see from a distance that his father, King Yikang, was affectionately pulling the fake version of himself while enjoying the snow and eating barbecue!

Chapter 49 Illness

"Close the windows. It's cold this year. Don't freeze you."

Liu Shiwen moved here and couldn't stay in the space all the time. This palace garden is really cold.

Chen Xiaozhuo turned his head and looked at Liu Shiwen. His father  seemed to have no feelings for Prince Yikang. They took him out to see the prince even on a snowy day.

"Yes."

After the window was closed, a cheering sound was heard in the distance.

Chen Xiaozhuo couldn't help but become curious again.

Qingcai came in at this time and said that Cui had gotten a white deer from somewhere and was wandering around the palace. Many people gathered around to watch.

"It's such a cold weather now. People are freezing to death outside, but they are having fun here!" After hearing this, the palace maid said with disdain and anger.

"Let them go, it has nothing to do with us." Liu Shiwen said, and he asked Chen Xiaozhuo to come over and write.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked outside and leaned over with some reluctance.

"Write."

Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo. There was enough charcoal fire in his room.

The wind and snow outside were blowing, but it was still warm inside the house.

Chen Xiaozhuo can now write and read well, and people around him don't dare to disturb him.

"Master, it's time to eat. I'm going to get it."

After waiting to finish writing, Qing Cai gathered his energy and prepared to go get the meal.

When they came back, they also said that Mrs. Cui had started a quarrel with the imperial kitchen here again, and the people in the palace would not let them. Later, Mrs. Cui left in despair.

"I really thought we were easy to bully. His Majesty just let these people in. It's really unruly." The eldest maid next to Liu Shiwen said in annoyance.

"When they have had enough trouble and feel that the palace is boring, those who should leave will leave." Liu Shiwen remembered that in the original plot, many people from the Cui family came in and made the palace unsightly and ugly.

Later, I felt it was boring and caused public outrage, so I slowly moved out.

But regarding this farce, I don't know what King Yikang is like.

Liu Shiwen thought of King Yikang. He calculated the time and knew that King Yikang was probably in the second half of the disease.

At this time, in addition to dealing with various matters after entering Beijing, he must also endure various illnesses and tortures.

"I don't know if the medicine prepared for him before has any effect?" Liu Shiwen was still a little worried.

"Father, it's time for us to eat." Chen Xiaozhuo reminded Liu in a low voice when he saw Liu Shiwen was in a daze again.

Liu Shiwen looked at the food and found it to be very simple.

But he didn't say much, he just gave some to Qin Cai and the palace maid, and asked the two of them to eat outside.

They had to give in to these requests for money several times with the palace maids, but Liu Shiwen persisted and they accepted it.

After all, this year is different from the past, and it is true that we can survive in this palace.

I saw Qing Cai and the palace maid retreating.

Liu Shiwencai took Chen Xiaozhuo to the space for dinner.

There was also a light snowfall on the horizon, covering the hillside with a layer of snow, but further down there was green grass.

The cattle and sheep were still eating green grass slowly.

Now the space has expanded a lot, and there are as many as 300 sheep alone.

Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo for a simple hot pot meal.

Because there were people like Qing Cai outside, I didn't dare to linger any longer inside, so I left after eating.

When Chen Xiaozhuo came out, he was stunned for a moment. He frowned and looked at Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen knew that there was probably something going on outside, so he told Qingcai to tell the palace maid that he was taking Prince Wen Ji for a lunch break and would not let them disturb him until he woke up.

"You can still sleep at this time?" The palace maid was speechless and admired.

"There's nothing you can do anyway, but you're looking out for your own good. You've been more and more rude to the master recently." Qing Cai glared at the palace maid after he finished speaking.

The palace maid knew that things were different now, and no one in the palace could care about her anymore. It was better to behave now, so she had to lower her head and say nothing.

Qing Cai snorted and followed him out.

Wait until these two people are gone.

Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo into the space.

"What's wrong?" Liu Shiwen asked.

"I saw that Mr. Wang seemed to be vomiting blood." Chen Xiaozhuo looked at Liu Shiwen nervously and asked.

Liu Shiwen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Although he also knew that later in the plot, King Yi Kang was indeed getting worse and worse, but why did he start vomiting blood now?

"Father, please think of a way." Chen Xiaozhuo was really anxious.

"Okay, I get it." Liu Shiwen said and took Chen Xiaozhuo to the medicine field, and he let Chen Xiaozhuo spread his favor in large quantities.

A batch of cherished medicinal materials grew again.

Liu Shiwen asked Chen Xiaozhuo to wait outside, while he went into the medicine shop to tinker.

After waiting for lunch break, Liu Shiwen finally got a bottle of medicine in his hand.

He held the medicine, still feeling weak.

Because in the book, King Yi Kang's condition has long been determined to be incurable, and the author did not mention any disease, only that he was born with a weak body and was given poison from a very early age. It's a very unexpected thing.

Therefore, Liu Shiwen really didn't know how to save him, so he could only do some things to strengthen his foundation and improve his strength from the ground up.

"This time is already the best."

Liu Shiwen clearly knew that if the previous ones were useless, then the possibility of these working would not be too great.

It's just that Xiao Zhuo is so worried. Although he has other plans in his heart, he is still thinking about what to do.

"Did you get it out? Can this save Father Wang?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked excitedly.

Liu Shiwen nodded and said, "How many people are there? Let your little sparrow fly over and have a look."

"It's not much. Dad even put food for my little sparrow in the past two days, because I I didn't fly over when I was angry with him." Chen Xiaozhuo said hastily, and then let the little sparrow fly over.

Even though the room was warm in the middle of winter, King Yikang still looked at the window.

Some millet was placed by the window, saying it was to help the birds that had no time to fly to the south.

People around King Yikang said that King Yikang was really bodhisattva-hearted, and even the people in the imperial city who resisted the Cui family would provide relief. Unfortunately, those people were not grateful and slandered the Cui family everywhere.

"Let them go. It is not easy for our Cui family to seize the country. It will naturally be more difficult at the beginning." King Yikang said, but everyone actually didn't care that much about what the common people thought.

They wanted to keep an eye on the Chen royal family and their court.

As long as the throne belonging to the Cui family can be taken back from the Chen family, everything else is easy to talk about.

"Master, please rest. You have been busy dealing with things these past two days and have not slept." The attendant next to King Yikang advised.

King Yikang looked at the gray sky outside the window and muttered: "Are you still angry?"

"Chirp."

Finally a crisp cry came over.

A little sparrow landed on the windowsill.

After King Yikang saw it, he sat up with a happy face, but soon the little sparrow flew away.

"You ungrateful little thing!" The servant never thought that even the sparrows here would not give King Yikang face, so he opened his mouth and cursed.

"Get out!" King Yikang shouted angrily, and the attendant hurriedly confessed.

"Chirp"

Fortunately, the little sparrow suddenly flew back and brought two or three other little sparrows over. They lowered their heads and started eating on the windowsill.

After seeing this, King Yikang's face softened a little, and he waved his hand and asked people to go down.

King Yikang stretched out his hand, but the little sparrows continued to eat millet without paying attention.

"What's wrong?" King Yikang asked helplessly, but the little sparrows ignored King Yikang and just ate for a while before flying away.

After the sparrow flew away, the ninth young master of the Cui family came over.

"You're here."

King Yikang reluctantly sat up after seeing the other party.

"I've met the prince." Cui Jiu saluted.

King Yikang waved his hand and said, "No need to worry about it here. How is the situation outside?"

"I walked around a few houses, and there are signs of loosening of the conversation, but most of them are still waiting and watching." Cui Jiudao said the voice.

After King Yikang heard this, he took out the book from one side and began to think for himself while listening to what Cui Jiu said.

Waiting for Cui Jiu to say the last word, King Yikang coughed just as he was about to speak.

"Your Majesty."

Cui Jiu looked at King Yikang's frighteningly pale face and hurriedly brought tea over with concern.

King Yikang waved his hand, and he exerted his strength, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Didn't Master Shengci also read it? Why is it still like this?" Cui Jiu asked worriedly.

"There is no need to say more about this matter. Now we have come here through the situation caused by the border chaos and the dispute over the prince. There is no time to talk about this anymore." King Yikang opened the booklet and lit it. Some dignitaries in the imperial city spoke in detail.

Cui Jiu listened to the scene and was shocked to find that King Yikang had clearly calculated the reactions of these people.

After he listened to King Yikang's explanation, he actually felt that the Cui family actually had a good chance.

"If we really do this, I'm afraid there is no chance. If there is another defeat on the border, it will be safer." Cui Jiu thought that the emperor's main bargaining chip was now pushed to Shu Ning'an at the border.

If Shu Ning'an were defeated again, the public's and officials' support for the Chen Dynasty would be greatly shaken. If the Cui family had another attack, the Chen family might have to give up the throne.

"But if Shu Ning'an loses, I don't know how many people will be in trouble." King Yikang said softly.

"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Then why didn't Mr. Chen have such kindness when dealing with us?!" Cui Jiu's eyes were full of hatred.

"Yes, in order to wipe out our Cui family, the Chen family used all possible means." King Yikang thought of what he had experienced in the Cui family, and his eyes became cold.

Over the years, the Cui family has become worse with each generation. Isn't it Chen's handiwork?

Now it is only three generations, and the people of this country no longer recognize their Cui family!

"Then what do you want to do?" King Yikang said and looked at Cui Jiu.

Chapter 50 No Solution

Cui Jiu didn't expect that King Yi Kang, who always made his own decisions, would ask himself.

His eyes flickered several times, and finally he rubbed his hands and said, "This... I haven't thought about it yet. It's up to you, the prince, to make your own decision."

King Yikang nodded slightly and said, "You have always been so steady."

"I am stupid. I have followed you for a long time, and I just want to listen to you in everything." Cui Jiu said.

King Yikang laughed. He glanced out the window, his eyes becoming a little far-reaching.

Cui Jiu also took a look and could see the former Cui Family Tower in the palace standing in the distance.

In order to reduce the traces of the Cui family, the Chen family was constantly constructing and modifying the entire palace. Until now, there are not many things left with the traces of the Cui family.

They had gone through so many difficulties and finally saw the tower of their home again.

That feeling seemed to come from the smell of blood from when Old Cui passed away a long time ago.

Cui Jiu and King Uikang both watched their family members die one by one when they were very young.

Now when they stand here, I am afraid that only they themselves know the complicated emotions in their hearts.

"Go ahead, I will tell you my decision in the evening." King Yikang said, Cui Jiu nodded and quietly retreated.

After Cui Jiu withdrew, the personal attendant of King Yi Kang came in.

"Uncle Dumb, has the investigation of Cui Jiu's situation been confirmed?" King Yikang said in a calm voice.

The attendant nodded, and then took out a secret letter from his arms.

King Yikang looked at it for a while, then with a sarcastic smile on his lips, he said, "Although I knew there was a mole in the Cui family, I didn't expect it to be Cui Jiu."

The mute servant gestured, as if he wanted to ask if Cui Jiu should be killed. eradicated.

"No need, they have been dormant for so long, even if they kill one Cui Jiu, it will not affect the overall situation." King Yikang said and coughed twice more.

The mute servant hurriedly walked in, showed concern for King Yikang and asked him to take medicine.

"Where is my medicine bag?" After King Yikang said this, he touched it and took out a medicine bag from the box on the side. The mute servant also took some medicinal wine to King Yikang.

King Yikang drank a little and then smelled the medicine bag, and his whole look became better.

He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked the mute servant to get a pen and paper. He wrote carefully for a while, and finally folded it and handed it to the mute servant. He said, "Take this secret letter back to Cui's house. Don't do it again." Back."

When the mute servant heard this, he gestured hurriedly and shook his head.

"Go, I will be fine, because there are experts helping me secretly." King Yikang said with a confident smile on his lips.

The mute servant looked at King Yikang.

"Go ahead, it's up to you whether our family can survive well." King Yikang raised his hand and said.

The mute servant finally gritted his teeth, saluted King Yikang, and then left.

After waiting for the dumb waiter to leave, a shadow jumped onto the window sill.

King Yikang turned his head and saw a large and scary orange cat, whose fur was wet by the wind and snow, squatting there and looking at him.

"Meow."

The orange cat meowed, and King Yikang's attendants hurried over to drive the orange cat away.

"Bring it here."

King Yikang waved.

"Master, this is because the wild cats in the palace are unclean. Are you weak or..." the attendant said, and King Yikang's eyes turned cold.

King Yikang has been very fond of animals since early on, and now everyone is not very surprised to see such a scene.

I had to grab the orange cat and wash it. After it was clean and its nails were cut, I gave it to King Yikang.

"Meow."

The orange cat looked fierce, but he behaved well when being held. He only made a fuss a little while taking a bath.

This way everyone feels a little more at ease.

"Come here."

King Yikang looked at the big cat with a smile on his face.

The orange cat looked at King Yikang and refused to go over at all.

"Get it some food." King Yikang said, and his attendants went over.

When the door opened, the orange cat jumped up and tried to escape, but was hurriedly stopped by the attendant.

After finally catching it, I naturally wouldn't let him get away.

"Eat."

The attendant brought some delicious food to the orange cat. The orange cat ate it unceremoniously, and then quickly fell asleep there.

Late at night, King Yikang felt something fluffy coming towards him.

He opened his eyes in surprise and saw the big face of the orange cat right in front of him.

Queen Yikang retreated and then touched the orange cat.

The orange cat yawned, jumped on the windowsill, and pushed the window with his paws.

King Yikang saw a shadow passing by the window and then disappeared.

He looked around and opened the window gently. A little wind blew over, and a beautiful medicine bottle was placed on the window sill at some point.

King Yikang reached out and grabbed it, then closed the window.

When the orange cat saw King Yi Kang like this, he jumped over and curled up there and fell asleep.

King Yikang opened the medicine bottle, and a faint fragrance came over, and a note was placed inside.

King Yikang took it out and looked at it through the shadow of the palace light. It was Chen Xiaozhuo's handwriting.

"Take the medicine well, be good."

King Yikang raised the corner of his mouth as he looked at it. He poured the medicine inside and took one, and felt the warm power spreading continuously in his body.

That feeling...well...is another excellent body-replenishing medicine.

King Yikang once gave the medicine Liu Shiwen gave him to his most trusted doctor. The doctor said that it was made by an expert who used a wasteful method to condense many excellent medicinal materials. Ordinary people might not be able to eat it again. With other drugs, any disease can be cured.

But King Yi Kang's foundation has been poisoned, and there is still no accurate explanation of King Yi Kang's illness.

These medicines can be taken, but taking them only makes King Yikang feel better temporarily and has no effect on relieving his condition.

"Ahem."

King Yikang coughed again after his mood changed.

The attendants outside hurried over and brought warm water to King Yikang.

King Yikang couldn't stop coughing, so he still used the medicine pack to stop it.

"Master."

The attendant looked at King Yikang's pale cheeks, called out in a low voice, and said, "Why don't you call the doctor over?"

"No need, I won't die yet." King Yikang said with his eyes closed.

"But..." The attendant thought that this was not the solution.

"Go, don't make me angry, I still want to live a little longer." After King Yikang said this, he glanced at the big orange cat and reached out to fish it out.

The orange cat woke up and angrily slapped King Yikang twice with his paws.

"Bold!"

King Yikang shouted in a low voice, looked at the orange cat for the last time, and gently put the orange cat aside, letting it sleep peacefully.

Wait until you wake up the next morning.

Cui's people have already come in and are waiting to salute King Yikang.

Because today is the first day that King Yikang went to court. Although he was going as a auxiliary to the country, this was the first time that the Cui family had officially visited the court after three generations. Everyone was still extremely excited.

And everyone knew that the Chen family's court would not let them assist the country easily, so they naturally had to be prepared to be in trouble.

They looked at King Yikang expectantly, wanting him to also demonstrate Cui's abilities.

"Okay, let's do it." King Yikang refused the overly ornate dragon robe that Cui had prepared for him. He chose a dark brocade robe with dragon patterns. His complexion was as white as jade, but wearing this dark dragon robe But there is an unusually powerful momentum.

It is said that Cui Zhezuo of the Cui family was born with the appearance of an emperor, not because he was born handsome and strategic, but because he had such a imposing presence.

"Salute!"

When the old man of Cui family saw King Yikang like this, he excitedly led others to salute.

Everyone in the room knelt and shouted long live.

"No courtesy."

King Yikang knew that not many people had been sincere to him over the years, and everyone in the Cui family just wanted to achieve their goals through him.

But now that he is standing here, seeing such a strange scene, it is understandable in his heart.

He raised his chin slightly and walked out of the palace.

People out there are ready.

Cui's people took it to court.

The news quickly spread throughout the palace.

Chen's side is full of anger mixed with a little fear. Everyone knows that the court and harem are in a precarious stage. Maybe today they are royal nobles, but tomorrow they will become Cui's prisoners.

"Not to mention anything else, Prince Yikang of the Cui family is really too handsome. When he led people on the Dragon Crossing Bridge, his majestic appearance was really fascinating."

The palace servants below started to discuss it . Others, but they were warned quickly.

"Dad is really awesome!"

Chen Xiaozhuo also told Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen laughed. He remembered that this part was the villain scene of King Yikang. Unfortunately, the author was scolded a lot because he described King Yikang too well.

After all, readers who read this have completely followed the protagonist's emotions. How can King Yi Kang do this if he is so good?

Of course, as a fan of villains, Liu Shiwen quietly gave a lot of thunder to King Yi Kang in these chapters.

"What a pity."

Liu Shiwen knew that the entire court now regarded Cui as a person who took advantage of the situation. How could he be respected when he stepped in when the country was in such danger?

But Cui also had something to say. If there hadn't been such an opportunity, Cui would have been tortured to death slowly by Chen, how would we be where we are today.

Everyone is just fighting among themselves.

"It's time to go to court. I heard that this hall is also extremely dangerous."

After waiting for the next court, all kinds of news spread.

I heard that King Yikang punished several ministers who were disrespectful to him, and there was another commotion because of this.

But King Yikang was very powerful. He quoted scriptures and even made people half-dead. In the end, he finally dealt with two of the emperor's close ministers.

"Nonsense! You're just here to make people sick on purpose!"

The protagonist was also about to be pissed off by Mrs. Cui, and Concubine Shu comforted His Majesty the Emperor again for this.

His Majesty the Emperor is now much more stable than before. After he was angry with Concubine Shu, he asked someone to compensate the two close ministers.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wang wants to see you." When the emperor heard this, he said with a sneer: "Hasn't her family already been mixed up with the Cui family? Why are you looking for an orphan now?!"
