How could Luo Pianhong, as the empress, not know about this kind of thing?
But she deliberately didn't stand up. As long as Li Minshuang had this leverage, she could always stand on the side of the Heavenly Dynasty.
This also reflects the tacit understanding between Li Minshuang and Luo Pianhong.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
"Um."
After Linghu Mo left, Luo Pianhong continued to look towards the east.
"It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Great Zhou. If I can obtain the Thousand-Leaf Lingzhi Grass, Shen Zhao will definitely look at me in a new light, right?"
...
Southern Region, Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock.
"Kid, this round doesn't count, let's start over, haha."
"Old man, it's getting late. Let's take a rest first and come back tomorrow."
Shen Zhao and Yu Guopu played chess all day, but Yu Guopu couldn't beat his former son-in-law even half a game, and couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Seeing this, Gu Ningye on the side also hurriedly advised: "Okay, you are really something, you are such a grown-up, and you are always fighting with the younger generation.
Your health is very important; let me help you back to your room to rest first.
Yu Guopu then abandoned his pawn and said, "That's enough, we'll fight again tomorrow. Don't get cocky, kid."
He stood up and returned to his room with the help of Gu Ningye.
Before leaving, Gu Ningye gave Shen Zhao a mournful look before reluctantly departing.
After everyone left, Su Yunying brought a pile of ingredients to Shen Zhao's side and whispered, "Shen Lang, I don't know if there's something I should tell you?"
Shen Zhao: "What's wrong, Yun Ying?"
Su Yunying looked in the direction where the Yu couple disappeared and whispered, "I always feel that the way Queen Mother Gu looks at you seems a little different."
"Um?"
“Chen Lang, that kind of look in your eyes isn’t something only a mother would have. You need to be careful.”
"Um."
Shen Zhao responded with a sound of agreement, then let out a long sigh.
Since the aphrodisiac incident, although Gu Ningye was cured of the poison with the Ice Heart Technique she gave herself, her mentality changed. Shen Zhao naturally knew that it was because she had suppressed her emotions for too long and had regarded herself as a kind of emotional crutch.
He's not stupid; he understands this perfectly well.
Su Yunying suddenly said, "Shen Lang, I can accept that you have other women."
But you must never do such a thing; Empress Dowager Gu is a married woman.
Shen Zhao smiled slightly: "How could that be? I was just thinking about how to help Empress Dowager Gu return to normal."
Su Yunying heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Then how do you plan to solve this problem? I saw the look in Queen Mother Gu's eyes when she looked at you, and she was full of resentment."
Shen Zhao: "The problem still needs to be solved by the Emperor Emeritus."
"Hmm? You have a plan?"
"I heard from Ji Bingyan that the Xu family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has obtained a Thousand-Leaf Lingzhi herb that can cure heart failure."
I must find a way to cure the Emperor Emeritus's illness; then the problem can be perfectly solved.
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying smiled faintly: "Since you have a plan, Mr. Shen, then I can rest assured."
Alright, it's time to eat. I specially made your favorite barbecue, come and eat!
Really?
Shen Zhao was greatly surprised to hear this.
Because Su Yunying rarely cooks, now that she made barbecue for herself, her appetite was aroused.
But when Shen Zhao saw the food that was served, he couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his kidneys.
