Imperial capital.
"Auntie Huang, how about this strength?"
"Auntie Huang, are you feeling well?"
In the imperial garden, basking in the autumn sun, Chu Aotian fawned over Chu Li and massaged her shoulders.
Chu Li bit the apple in his hand: "It's okay."
"If you're busy, don't bother me."
How can that be?
Ever since his ninth sister came back, he had become more confident and confident. Every day when he went to court, the ministers no longer dared to be rude to him.
How would he survive without his ninth sister?
"My uncle is not here, so I must take good care of you. He will definitely reward me when he comes back!"
whee.
Chu Li glanced at him and couldn't help thinking: I have given you the most honorable throne in the world, what other reward can be greater than the throne?
"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
Chu Aotian massaged her shoulders and said:
"I listened to you and sent the Royal Guards to investigate. It was Princess Minghua who was using the name of Concubine Xin to instigate merchants outside, disrupt the people's hearts, and cause trouble for me."
"It's her indeed."
"What do you mean by that? Have you suspected her for a long time?"
Chu Li said: "This time, after I left the capital, I encountered a group of assassins, who were sent by Princess Minghua."
How outrageous!
Chu Aotian straightened his back, "What does she want to do? Is she going to rebel? Her father, King Xiaoyao, has been low-key and simple for many years, and has never had any rebellious intentions. How could he raise her..."
As he spoke, his voice gradually became quieter.
Is King Xiaoyao really as indifferent to fame and fortune and non-competitive as he appears to be?
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked.
His expression gradually became serious: "Ninth sister, what you mean is..."
"I'm just guessing, I have no evidence. Let's send someone to keep an eye on it."
"good!"
Understood.
He will have people keep an eye on Chu Minghua and King Xiaoyao!
Not far away.
Master Jiang and Biejiu stood under the long corridor, looking at the two masters who were chatting and laughing in the imperial garden, with more scrutiny focused on Chu Li.
hiss--
Since the first time he saw "Miss Xie", Master Jiang had always had a guess in his mind...
picture.
They are so similar.
But he didn't dare ask.
Is Miss Xie the Ninth Prince?
Every time I see her, the seeds of curiosity take root in my heart, grow vigorously, and slowly become unstoppable.
The ninth prince is naughty, lively, clever, not studious and loves to play.
But this Miss Xie is a steady, quick-witted, intelligent, and skilled martial artist, which makes her very different from the Ninth Prince.
But how could there be two people in the world who are so similar?
Just as he was thinking, he saw the emperor and Miss Xie coming over. Master Jiang immediately lowered his head and stood aside to serve. When he saw the hems of their clothes passing by, he couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted out a few words:
"The King of Heaven and the Tiger of Earth!"
"Master, you're only 1.5 meters tall!"
Chu Li turned around.
Master Jiang's eyes widened: "You!"
It’s the Ninth Prince!
It’s the Ninth Prince!
Chu Li touched the tip of his nose, chuckled, and without saying much, went to the harem with Chu Aotian, leaving Master Jiang standing there in shock for a full half a minute.
Besides being shocked, I was more relieved.
Just be alive.
Just be safe.
harem.
Ever since Chu Aotian ascended the throne, there have been constant wars, so the coronation ceremony has been postponed. The concubines of the Emperor of Chu have been placed in the original palace intact, waiting for the war to end and the dust to settle before slowly dealing with them.
The Emperor of Chu was paralyzed, and the new emperor had not yet taken a concubine, so the concubines no longer had to compete for favor. For a time, the harem enjoyed unprecedented harmony.
play cards.
Sunbathing.
Chat about gossip.
Draw a circle with Concubine Xin as the center and Concubine Wen as the radius, and the concubines will perform a dance around the two of them.
When Chu Li and Chu Aotian arrived, the Hehuan Palace was bustling with activity. Eight or nine palace concubines and palace maids, a large group of people in red and green, were playing cards. Next to them was a wheelchair with the paralyzed Emperor Chu sitting on it.
His health has not improved. Except for his eyeballs, he can't move anything else.
He sat there motionless, watching his young, beautiful and lively concubines talking, laughing, dancing, chasing and playing, but he could not touch them and could only stare.
When he saw Chu Li, he was so excited that his mouth was drooling:
“Uh…uh…”
"Hey." Concubine Wen turned around quickly, "Your Majesty, are you thirsty? What are you two standing there for? Why don't you give His Majesty some water?"
"yes."
Two palace maids came forward.
"Well!!"
The King of Chu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he stared at Chu Li. His whole body was tense and he couldn't move even if he tried his best.
It's her!
It was she who drugged him and made him what he is now.
This brat!
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Concubine Xin was worried, "Are you going to the bathroom?"
Concubine Wen sighed, "It's so pitiful that he can't speak or move. We can't guess what your majesty is thinking. Yesterday, the imperial study made spicy fish slices, and your majesty's mouth really turned red from the spiciness, but he didn't say a word."
Concubine Xin pinched her handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty has always been strong."
"Who said it wasn't?"
"Never mind. It's good enough that we can push him out to bask in the sun. Let's continue playing cards."
"Come on, come on, give me the silver from the previous one."
No one cared about the Emperor Chu anymore. The Emperor Chu was so angry that he kept twisting his mouth: "Ugh! Ugh!"
Bold!
He wants to kill Chu Li!
He wants to divorce these women!
Help him up, he's going to blow up the entire palace!

Southern Xinjiang.
After taking care of the child for two days, Qin Muyu was overwhelmed, and the original military plan to launch a surprise attack to retake southern Xinjiang had to be postponed.
No matter whether it is a man or a woman, whoever takes care of a child will be confused.
"Brother, what shall we have for breakfast?"
"Brother, your horse is so beautiful!"
"Brother, why are you ignoring me?"
"elder brother……"
Cluck, cluck, are you going to lay eggs all day long?
Qin Muyu looked at the chattering Tuoba Mo with a serious look, wondering if King Yin was not like this, so how could he have given birth to such a chatterbox.
Nie Sang actually liked him very much and played with him.
Qin Muxue was thinking in a deep voice:
"Why hasn't King Yin come to pick up his son yet? Could this be a trick?"
For example, they took advantage of this seemingly harmless child, letting him lurk in their military camp and spy on important military affairs.
Although a war was ongoing, they could not possibly massacre a child of four or five years old.
Lu Yunchu concentrated his voice:
"King Yin doesn't care about this child, could it be that... he is not his biological son?"
Qin Muxue looked at Qin Muyu: "Brother, is this your biological child?"
Qin Muyu really found it funny:
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
funny.
Actually asked him.
He didn't have the patience to raise a son for King Yin.
"I have sent five groups of people to deliver the message. If you don't come to pick me up before tonight, I will kill you."
"Brother, who are you going to kill?"
Just as he finished speaking, the corner of his clothes dropped, and he saw the little fellow pinching the corner of his clothes, raising his delicate little face, looking at him curiously.
He said in silence: "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking."
"oh!"
