Zhang Qi is straightforward and always says what she thinks. She doesn't treat Su Jin like an outsider at all, and she is full of grievances and urgently needs to confide in her.
"This court is no place for a human being. It's much more enjoyable to fight on the battlefield! It's one thing for those old ministers to deal with us openly and secretly, but His Majesty doesn't value us either. It's truly humiliating."
"I'm just a rough guy, I don't understand the intrigue and backstabbing in the court anyway, but you know Han Qing, he's full of talent and burdens, he works tirelessly every night to come up with countless reform policies that benefit the people, but what's the use? Even the smallest change attracts countless people to fight against him, I feel tired just watching him!"
"Some people even said that since he's a general, he should refrain from interfering in court affairs. Isn't that infuriating!"
Zhang Qi became increasingly angry as he spoke.
Su Jinxia chuckled at his complaint, "Don't be angry, I'm back now, aren't I? I won't stand for anyone who dares to bully you again!"
"Hmph!" Suddenly, a cold snort came from outside the door. Zhou Chen pushed the door open and walked in. He stared at Zhang Qi, his anger flaring. "General Zhang Qi, you've come here to my sister to slander me!"
When Zhang Qi was caught speaking ill of others, his face flushed red, but he stood up and vehemently denied it, saying, "No, Your Majesty is overthinking it."
Zhou Chen snorted coldly, clearly not believing it.
Su Jin gave Zhang Qi a wink, and Zhang Qi quickly made an excuse that he had something to do and left.
Su Jin rubbed her stomach, feeling a bit hungry, so she got up and went out to order food.
Zhou Chen was ignored...
When the food was served, Su Jinxia started eating on her own. Zhou Chen shamelessly sat down and tugged at Su Jinxia's clothes.
Su Jin pretended not to see it.
Zhou Chen tugged again, and then tugged a little more...
Su Jin put down her chopsticks. "You've already pulled your clothes off!"
Zhou Chen, shameless and unconcerned about Su Jin's anger, said, "Sister, I've figured out the methods the Prime Minister used to amass wealth and the people involved, but it's too complicated, and I don't know what to do. Can you help me?"
Su Jin snatched the clothes from Zhou Chen's hands and coldly replied, "I don't know either, don't ask me."
"Sister..." Zhou Chen said coquettishly, her eyes wide open.
"Can I have some food?"
"You eat."
Su Jin picked up her chopsticks and started eating, continuing to ignore Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen felt extremely sad. "Can't my sister really leave Shen Qianxue?"
"No." Su Jin replied without hesitation.
"What's so great about him? There are plenty of good men in the world, why don't you take a look at more?" Zhou Chen tried to persuade her.
Su Jinxia's expression remained unchanged as she said, "Even if a god descended to earth, I would only love him."
Zhou Chen...
"Hmph!" Zhou Chen snorted coldly, got up and left with a sullen face.
Su Jinxia got angry, threw down her chopsticks, and lost all appetite.
At night, a group of people suddenly broke into Zhang Qi's mansion.
Zhang Qi quickly became alert and went outside, only to find a long sword pressed against his neck.
Zhang Qi turned his head and saw the newcomer's face, and asked in surprise, "Phoenix Lord?"
Shen Qianxue's eyes were indifferent, tinged with coldness. He didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "I want to enter the palace."
Zhang Qi already understood, "For Su Jin's sake?"
Shen Qianxue tacitly agreed.
Zhang Qi's face showed some worry. "Han Qing is in His Majesty's hands now. His Majesty seems to be using this to blackmail Su Jinxia. If I let you into the palace, it may implicate Han Qing's life."
Under the moonlight, a dark light flickered in Shen Qianxue's eyes, concealing danger. "Don't worry, if he doesn't know what's good for him, I don't mind letting the world change hands again!"
Zhang Qi gasped.
The "he" in Shen Qianxue's words was undoubtedly Zhou Chen.
This guy is really daring!
"Alright! I can let you into the palace, but you must promise me that you will ensure Han Qing's safety."
As for Su Jinxia, Zhang Qi won't mention her, since if something were to happen to Su Jinxia, this guy would probably go crazy right now.
"hurry up!"
Shen Qianxue only felt that Zhang Qi was being indecisive.
Zhang Qi's lips twitched. He took out a token from his pocket and tossed it to Shen Qianxue. "This token allows you to enter the palace, but let me warn you, the palace is heavily guarded. Even with the token, you unfamiliar faces will be questioned. And then..."
Before Zhang Qi could finish speaking, Shen Qianxue had already disappeared.
At the palace gate, Shen Qianxue and the others showed their tokens.
"Who are you? We've never seen you before."
Shen Qianxue stared intently at the guard with a serious expression. "This is not your concern! It concerns the Prime Minister's embezzlement case. I need to see the Emperor immediately. Please allow me to pass through at once."
The guard's heart skipped a beat under Shen Qianxue's righteous and urgent gaze.
"Alright, I'll have someone take you to see His Majesty!" The guard was still cautious and sent a team to lead Shen Qianxue to the emperor's palace.
As the palace gates receded into the distance, the guards entered a deep, secluded path.
Shen Qianxue gently raised his hand, and the people behind him acted quickly, one by one, coming behind the guards and taking them down in no time.
Afterwards, they quickly dragged the guards into the shadows and stripped them of their clothes to put on them.
Shen Qianxue didn't move, but waited in the shadows. After a while, Qu Yi, dressed as a guard, came up to her. "All done."
"Proceed according to the original plan," Shen Qianxue instructed.
Qu Yi nodded and led his disciples, who were dressed as guards, swaggering through the palace.
Before long, they encountered two palace maids.
"Hey, where is Prince Zhuang's palace? By order of His Majesty, please invite Prince Zhuang to the Qiankun Palace." Qu Yi stopped the palace maid and asked.
The palace maid was not very vigilant. Although she found it strange that these palace guards did not even know the Prince Zhuang's bedroom, she still told Qu Yi, thinking that they might be newcomers.
After the palace maid left, Qu Yi immediately reported the location to Shen Qianxue, and the group quickly approached Su Jinxia.
They quickly arrived outside the hall, but Qu Yi, as the captain of the secret guards, immediately noticed the presence of the secret guards.
They didn't act rashly; they first determined the number and location of the guards, and then wiped them all out in one fell swoop.
Because Su Jinxia was very obedient and never had any intention of running away, the guards were not very vigilant and she was dealt with quietly!
Because it was late at night, everyone in the palace had gone to rest, except for two young maids who were dozing off and keeping watch.
Shen Qianxue quietly approached the two from behind and effortlessly knocked them down.
He pushed open the door and entered, his gaze falling on the bed in the bedroom.
There was a slight bulge on the bed, as if the person on the bed was sleeping peacefully, but Shen Qianxue keenly noticed that something was wrong.
He walked straight over, yanked back the covers, and found only a pillow underneath.
"Zhou Chen!"
Shen Qianxue gritted her teeth and shouted out this name!
Clearly, Zhou Chen already knew of Shen Qianxue's arrival.
Shen Qianxue turned and left, exuding a chill. Qu Yi stepped forward and asked, "What do we do now?"
Shen Qianxue narrowed her eyes, "Go directly to Zhou Chen!"
So, everyone rushed to Zhou Chen's bedroom.
