The sky turned completely dark, Zhao Chen had dinner, and Liu Nianchu personally escorted him out of the villa.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw a resentful Yun Simian lying outside the villa.

Liu Nianchu looked at Zhao Chen, he had a thousand words to say, but when it was time to say goodbye, they all seemed to be stuck in his throat.

More than ten years ago, Zhou Xu's departure was caught off guard. After learning the news, she only chased him in vain without saying a word of farewell. But now, she has the honor to stand here, personally seeing him off and waiting for his return.

It is true that while Liu Nianchu was worried, he was also indescribably satisfied.

"Everything, be careful."

"Yes."

Zhao Chen leaned over and pressed his lips against Liu Nianchu's forehead: "It's very humid at night in the mountains, so please go back."

The two of them were saying goodbye reluctantly, but Yun Simian's face became darker and darker.

Dog man and woman!

He opened his mouth to curse, but he didn't want to meet Zhao Chen's warning gaze in the next moment.

With a coldness and indifference that is not found under his usually gentle face.

For a moment, he thought he saw Zhou Xu! Every time Zhou Xu punished him, he always behaved this way!

Yun Simian was inexplicably frightened.

But just such a look made Yun Simian narrow his eyes.

He suddenly felt sad.

He held his head with difficulty and tried to hide in one place to lick his wounds.

This Zhao Chen is incredible, he was able to imitate Zhou Xu's demeanor to an eighth of a degree.

While he was thinking wildly, he heard approaching footsteps: "Do you know you are wrong?"

Yun Simian pretended to be dead.

Zhao Chen did not force him: "You are able to make trouble in Lin'an because outsiders rely on your father's identity. You have Gu Huaizhi behind you, so you don't dare to do anything to you. But if something happens, who can protect you?"

"Even if you ignore the situation in the court, you should know that the Zhenguo Palace has been repeatedly defeated over the years, and the loyal ministers who followed the late emperor have gradually lost their power."

As he said that, he put a scroll in his hand next to Yun Simian: "I will test you personally when I come back next time."

With that said, he overturned his horse, tightened the reins, and drove off.

As soon as he left, a secret guard came forward and coldly carried Yun Simian inside.

Yun Simian felt strange in his heart.

He always felt that he had overlooked something, and that something happened to flash through his mind and he couldn't catch it.

Yun Simian: What the hell!

He reached out and tore the book directly without thinking.

Secret Guard:...You're done!

The next day, Gu Huaizhi followed him and left the villa quietly. When Ruan Zhen woke up, her whole body was sore and swollen, but the pillow beside her had lost its temperature early.

After Gu Huaizhi returned to Lin'an, he first entered the palace.

Emperor Hui cheered up and summoned him into the palace.

The man's steps were slow and slow, and his scarlet robe flickered as he walked. His face was pale, but every move he made was dignified and dignified.

He decided to bow.

The weather was hot, but Emperor Hui's fear of cold became more and more serious. There was a fire burning in the house, but he was still covered with foreign fir trees. There was not enough ventilation in the palace, and there was an indescribable smell in the house.

The prince is disgusting!

Emperor Hui finally finished coughing, and was served by Eunuch Zhao to rinse his mouth. Then he became anxious and said, "Huaizhi, can you get a hundred babies together? I'm just waiting for the medicine."

Gu Huaizhi said respectfully: "I went out to Lin'an this time and brought back five people. Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Now there are only eleven people missing."

When Emperor Hui heard this, he immediately laughed.

Sure enough, Gu Huaizhi was very fast.

However, he did not forget to urge: "Don't slack off, Taizhen has already made preparations and is waiting for you."

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I accept your order."

Emperor Hui said a few words, suppressed his sleepiness, but did not forget to frown and said: "You also brought the son of the Chi family over?"

When he asked the question, it was with a hint of disapproval.

In the past few days, when Chi Zhang entered the palace, he lost all the respect he had in the past. To be precise, Chi Zhang was too lazy to pretend to be respectful anymore.

How could Emperor Hui not be afraid?

He even complained that Gu Huaizhi acted on his own initiative!

After all, he was worried that the prescription would not work, so he forced Chi Zhang to think ahead.

Emperor Hui pondered for a moment, and said the words that were most against his will: "I know that I have worked hard for you these days, but no matter what, the Chi family has assisted me for these years, and there is no credit but hard work. In my opinion, it would be better to treat that child

Send it back?"

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyes lazily. His expression did not change, and he subconsciously tried to turn the finger on his fingertips, but failed. His expression froze for a moment, but quickly returned to its original state.

"The matter of the young child is in compliance with God's will. However, there are countless people who disobey, conceal the truth, get lucky, and disobey. In just a few days, Lin'an City was full of curses, let alone those outside Lin'an City who were far away from the emperor's feet."

When Emperor Hui heard this, he immediately became angry: "A bunch of unruly people!"

Gu Huaizhi did not answer his words, but continued: "I don't want to touch the Chi family. However, with so many eyes in the world watching, if the Queen's natal Chi family is removed from the list, I'm afraid it will cause injustice to the people."

The people were wronged? Is Emperor Hui still afraid of this?

This injustice has persisted since he ascended the throne.

However, his cloudy eyes must be.

Wait, list?

Those lists are based on voluntary reports from the people. In fact, most newborns have never come to the government office to register their household registration.

But in whose family a child has been born, the people around them know clearly.

Because of this, the imperial court released the news that anyone who told the news would be awarded a quota of ten taels. There were many people who were devastated. Therefore, the number of lists quickly appeared one after another.

After repeated verification by Dali Temple, it was handed over to Gu Huaizhi.

And who told the Chi family? Even if the people dare to act like this, Dali Temple will be afraid of it. It will not be recorded.

Looking at the government and the public, there is only the Palace of the Prince of Qin.

Emperor Hui stopped talking.

After a long time, he finally said: "I didn't think about it. Please step back."

Gu Huaizhi arched his hands before walking out.

He quickly left the palace, got on the carriage, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief in disgust.

He returned to the Duke's Mansion and was about to go to the study, but he turned around and went to the inner room. He bypassed the screen and headed towards the eight treasure cabinet.

Exquisite glass bottles filled that column of cabinets.

His eyes narrowed, but they fell on the letter paper separated under the glass vase.

He paused with his fingertips and quickly took it out. The letter had the words "Her husband's signature" written on it.

Without thinking too much, he opened the envelope and took out the letter paper.

The young lady's handwriting was excellent. Gu Huaizhi could imagine her concentrating on writing.

——You should wear the peace charm I gave you last time. Someone once told me that he never believed in this, but I had to believe it. Even though my husband didn’t say it, I knew it was dangerous..."

There was a lot more to say, but Gu Huaizhi couldn't read a word anymore. He stared at one spot.

My ears seem to recall the words he said in the second life.

——I don’t usually believe this, but some people swear that if you wear it, you will be fine.”

——Even so, I can only believe it.
