A few more days passed.

Lin'an City

Liu Shan went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion alone.

As soon as he entered Zhou Nan's courtyard, he was stopped by the secret guard waiting beside him. The man was holding a sword and dressed in black. His eyes were as cold as ever, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if his throat had been stabbed.

"Master Liu."

Liu Shan's expression remained the same as before: "I have something important to report, please be accommodating."

The secret guard's temper was as weird as ever, but the boy standing next to him stepped forward with a smile and said: "Your Majesty is busy, Mr. Liu, please wait for a moment."

The sun was scorching, wishing it could roast people. Liu Shan stood in one place, reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead from time to time.

Is Zhou Nan busy?

Obviously, it's mostly an excuse.

Zhou Nan did this on purpose, specifically to give him a slap in the face. This was a warning to him not to have other ideas.

The marriage between the two governments was rejected, and Zhou Nan is still unhappy.

Liu Shan calmed down his emotions and remained motionless.

I don't know how long it took, but he felt drowsy, his lips turned white, and when he was standing shaky, Zhou Nan finally let him in.

Compared with the outside of the courtyard, the Prince of Qin's Mansion was always extravagant and wasteful. There were several basins of ice in the study, which was extremely cool. He was sweating all over, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Zhou Nan put down her pen and looked at him, then straightened her clothes and stood up to greet him in person, giving him a slap in the face and a date in the air.

"It's my fault that I forget the time when I get busy."

Liu Shan bowed respectfully: "My lord, it is a blessing for the heaven to do this."

Zhou Nan was relieved to hear this, and he was willing to give Liu Shan face, so he reprimanded the boy: "Master Liu is not an outsider, how dare he stop me? If there is a next time, I will never forgive him lightly!"

The boy was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a bang: "Damn it, little one."

"Go down and receive your punishment."

"yes."

Liu Shan witnessed this with his own eyes, but his heart was bursting with sadness. For more than ten years ago, he was willing to assist Zhou Nan, but now he betrayed Zhou Nan, and no one forced him.

He just protects his own life and chooses a wise king. The ups and downs of the court are not up to him.

After the study became quiet, Zhou Nan looked at Liu Shan. He returned to the main seat and sat down. Holding a cup of tea in his hand, he flipped the lid and said, "Tell me, why are you here this time?

"

Liu Shan had a cold look on his face. At Zhou Nan's urging, he acted like he was sinking the boat. He bowed his hand again: "I went to the temple to pray for my deceased wife a few days ago, but I accidentally learned about a royal scandal. I specifically informed the prince."

Upon hearing that it was a scandal, Zhou Nan seemed to be amused and looked at Liu Shan with a much more sincere smile.

Although he is a member of the royal family, what does Zhou Yi's scandal have to do with him? The worse Zhou Yi is, the happier he will be.

"tell me the story."

Liu Shan pondered for a moment: "The incident at Fanshan Temple a few months ago, where a trap was set up in the woman's room and was defiled, caused an uproar. It is no longer a secret."

"The Queen has gone to Fanshan Temple many times. The prince..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zhou Nan with a cold voice: "In the past, I valued your clever calculations very much, but now you say such things in front of me?"

"How old is the prince? How many years ago did the request for a son in Fanshan Temple appear? What is the connection between the two? Do you think the world is stupid? What you say is really a fallacy!"

He even impatiently issued an order to expel the guests: "If you continue to fool me with your nonsense, then go back!"

Liu Shan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

He spoke clearly: "I just suspect that Queen Chi has colluded with Chi Zhang's brother and sister and has had an affair for a long time."

He said this very softly, but it was like a thunder in Zhou Nan's ears.

Not allowing him to think deeply, Liu Shan said in a determined tone: "I have no doubts about the prince. I have followed him for more than ten years and have gone through many ghosts. The prince should not doubt me because of those young people."

loyalty."

Zhou Nan glanced at him up and down. He believed in Liu Shan in his heart, but he just wanted to punish him. Liu Shan respected him and had suffered a lot over the years. He was demoted from Lin'an in order to protect him.

Thinking of this, his expression softened.

Liu Shan added: "In the past few days, I am on special duty. Whenever Queen Chi is out of the palace, most of the days are when Chi Zhang is free to work in the palace."

"Chi Zhang is famous for his love for his sister. But when the queen left the palace, he never saw her off in person. Although there were imperial guards on the way to protect her safety, but thinking about it this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that what Chi Zhang mentioned is weird.

It’s a bit far-fetched to stick to red tape.”

"There is indeed no evidence for what I said. It is mostly my guess. But as long as it comes from the prince's mouth, it is true. Whether it is true or false is never important."

It was an important matter. With this incident, the palace was turned upside down and the princelings were caught off guard.

Regarding the Fanshan Temple incident, what if the queen was ruined? Emperor Hui did not dare to depose the queen, but if the prince was not of royal blood, no matter how capable Chi Zhang was, Zhou Huan would not be qualified to claim the throne.

Unless he plots rebellion, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole stalks the cicada, and this is what Zhou Nan hopes for.

Instead of waiting for the Chi family's power to grow stronger and become an uncontrollable trend, it is better to give the opponent a hard blow beforehand.

Liu Shan said warmly: "The man in the palace does not have much time left. Everything will be decided by the prince."

As soon as Liu Shan left the Qin Palace, the news reached the Duke's Palace.

A snow-white homing pigeon flew in from the window. It flapped its wings and landed on the desk.

Its mung bean-sized eyes stared straight at the man who was taking a nap with his eyes closed.

"Gugu" made a sound in his mouth, trying to attract Gu Huaizhi's attention.

The man frowned slightly.

The pigeon took a few steps forward without fear of death and stepped on the back of the man's hand.

As soon as it raised its paws triumphantly, with a heavy seed on its head, it was pushed down onto the desk by a book.

Gu Huaizhi was very impatient! His temper had gotten worse and worse in the past few days, and he had returned to the state before getting married.

"Cuckoo."

Changfeng stood aside in fear, and quickly stepped forward to take the note from the pigeon's leg, brought it to Gu Huaizhi, and saved the pigeon.

Gu Huaizhi took it over and took a casual look.

There are only four words on it.

"The arrow is on the string."

He stood up and calmly took the note and burned it.

But I couldn't help but think of a sentence I heard a few days ago.

——An Qi, you have to call me. If I write a letter, I have to hope that he will find a way to get it to you.

fraud.

So, is she too happy to miss Shu?

Or is it that my hands are too heavy to hold the pen?

This is very different from the fact that Gu Huaizhi expected Ruan Zhen to be clingy and write at least one letter a day!

Chang Su entered the room: "Master, Taizhen Taoist Priest will set out from the palace early tomorrow morning."

Gu Huaizhi: "It's just an ugly thing that is an eyesore."

Chang Su: "Taizhen Taoist priest goes to the General's Mansion to practice. There is an order from the palace and you need to accompany him."

Gu Huaizhi sneered: "How dare I disobey the emperor's order?"

Changfeng: That’s it! The scariest thing!
