The old demon ancestor is really fertile!
This, this, this... There are five more cubs at once. When will it be his turn?
Chao Li pouted, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.
However, Zhao Ying's family was overjoyed. Seeing Shangguan Qingwan resurrected, Zhao Ying hugged her and cried with joy. Then she spotted Chao Li and asked, "Who is this little brother..."
Shangguan Qingyue said, "He is my subordinate! Mother, you can just call him Chao Li."
Chao Li crossed his arms and raised his chin proudly.
The next second, "He is also Daddy's subordinate! Hehe," the little guy thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Mom, I know, he should be considered our family's slave!"
Household slave Chao Li: ...it's all up to you to see if I laugh or not...
Zhao Ying probably understood Chao Li's status. She smiled softly and greeted him warmly, "Brother Chao Li, come and have dinner with us."
This sentence was a critical blow to Chao Li. His eyes suddenly lit up, and at the same time he had a very good impression of Zhao Ying. His rapidly working brain came up with another good idea: could he recognize this beautiful woman as his adoptive mother?
So, he is the sixth heir to the magic path?
The old Duke, Shangguan Zhu, and Shangguan Dan were all there, and Shangguan Qingwan had returned. It was a proper reunion dinner, everyone was very happy, and the food was plentiful. The others were used to it, drinking and chatting while eating. Then, everyone's eyes turned to Chao Li.
Chao Li swept away the remaining clouds like a whirlwind... and hugged the mat.
Zhao Yingmei's heart skipped a beat, thinking that her Yue'er had really suffered in the past, and it seemed that Modao was really poor.
Zhao Ying looked at Chao Li lovingly and asked someone to serve some more dishes.
Chao Li looked at the endless supply of delicious food, his eyes felt a little sore, and after a while, tears actually flowed.
Shangguan Chengjing was a sincere man and asked directly, "Little brother, why are you crying?"
"I'm crying... I'm still not as smart as the old demon ancestor. I should have found a beautiful and wealthy wife like a princess in the human world to support. How comfortable it would have been. No wonder the old demon ancestor raised her so plump and white..."
The little fellow was sitting in the baby chair, eating his meal with his chopsticks in hand. Hearing this, he said, "Then Daddy is worse than me, Chong Ming. If Daddy and Mommy die, all the money will be mine!"
Zhao Ying: ...
After the family finished their meal, they went back to their respective courtyards, and Zhao Ying took Shangguan Qingyue to sleep.
As night fell, Chao Li sat on the doorstep, looking at the moon with a melancholy look on his face.
Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin came over and sat on his left and right respectively.
Shangguan Bailin followed Chao Li's gaze and asked, "Do you miss home?"
Chao Li shook his head.
Shangguan Qingwan said softly, "You look very sad..."
She responded with a loud and crisp burp.
Shangguan Qingwan and Bai Lin: ...
"I...hiccup...just don't understand...hiccup...why...hiccup it's so difficult for me to get a higher position..."
Shangguan Bailin: "What position do you want to hold?"
Chao Li said disdainfully, "Hiccup... Of course it's the position of Demon Ancestor! Hiccup..."
He sobbed, "Originally, after the old Demon Ancestor perished, it should have been my turn. But then, a little Demon Ancestor appeared. It doesn't matter. I can hold the Emperor hostage and command the other princes. But now you've appeared! Five of you!"
Chao Li said this with gritted teeth and gestured with his hand.
Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin understood. At the same time, Shangguan Qingwan felt a little embarrassed. "Well, can you say this to my face?"
Chao Li snorted coldly, "I'm drunk, I'm talking nonsense!"
Shangguan Bailin was surprised, "Didn't you drink?"
Shangguan Qingwan had a better understanding of Chao Li. She explained, "I got drunk while eating."
"oh."
Shangguan Qingwan asked, "You are already below one demon and above all others, why do you still care so much about power and status?"
"What do you care about me!" Chao Li roared at her fiercely, "I'm willing. Do you know how boring the life of a demon is? If I don't find something to do, I'll be useless!"
"I want to be my own master!"
Shangguan Qingwan smiled dryly, "Okay, okay, you're awesome."
"Well, I was going to tell you that your bedroom is ready, but after listening to what you said, I think living too comfortably will make you lose your purpose in life. So, how about this, you stay in the yard..."
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant..."
"Second brother, go back to sleep..." Shangguan Qingwan yawned and waved to Shangguan Bailin. Shangguan Bailin walked over and the brother and sister left.
Only Chao Li and a yard full of hungry mosquitoes were left.
…
"Ah? Damn, Yue'er is so powerful?"
"you do not say!"
Zhao Ying patted the little guy's butt lovingly and listened to the little guy's day schedule. Although the little guy didn't listen to her, he apologized very obediently.
Zhao Ying's heart softened, and she couldn't help but lower her head and kiss Shangguan Qingyue on the forehead. After the kiss, she asked, "Didn't you see your father?"
"No, mother..."
Zhao Ying was puzzled. "Since your father has returned to his throne, why don't you go home?"
"I don't know either..."
Zhao Ying was a little disappointed with Shangguan Shu. She missed him, wanted to see him, and wanted to talk to him. Didn't he know?
Why don't you come back?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come back. She can just focus on seizing the throne!
Prince Ding's Mansion.
Qian Chengluo said, "Princess Chengqian will hold a funeral for Shangguan Shu tomorrow, so the fact that Your Highness killed Shangguan Shu cannot be concealed anymore."
Hengbi also had a serious expression on his face, "We fell into a trap. We didn't expect Shangguan Shu to set up a trap with his own death to bring down the prince."
Qian Chengluo: "That's right, Your Highness didn't kill Shangguan Shu personally, it was Shangguan Zhu! That despicable villain! Your Highness, I suggest you strike first and have the Ministry of Justice arrest Shangguan Zhu and bring him to justice, forcing the princess to compromise!"
Hengbi nodded, "That's a good idea, Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
Zhao Xi suddenly came back to his senses, but still looked thoughtful. Hengbi and Qianchengluo exchanged glances when they saw this. Hengbi said, "Your Highness has worked hard recently. It is my humble servant's fault for not doing his job well."
Zhao Xi waved his hands. "It's not your fault. Shangguan Shu was just too cruel."
Qian Chengluo echoed, "Yes, who would have thought that he would risk his life..."
A hint of darkness flashed in Hengbi's eyes. Sixth brother, sixth brother, your move of killing two birds with one stone is really amazing!
I don’t know if you succeeded...
"As for what you just said about arresting Shangguan Zhu, there's no need. At this point, with Zhao Ying's feelings for Shangguan Shu, Shangguan Zhu's safety isn't enough to make her give up her revenge."
"Instead of holding on to this little evidence, why not..." Zhao Xi's brows tightened, "A Luo, has General Long returned to the capital?"
General Long was once a general under Wei Fu. After Wei Fu's downfall, 200,000 of his 300,000 troops were transferred to Zhao Xi. Those generals had all defected to Zhao Xi.
Hengbi said, "Your Highness wants to..."
Zhao Xi said indifferently, "Everything is fake, only military power is real."
"I have already petitioned my father to send people to take away the wives of the four generals of the Southern Territory and put them under house arrest. If Zhao Ying wants to play this card, I'm afraid..." Zhao Xi didn't finish his words, but a trace of sadness flashed across his brows.
