"Uncle Zhong, the emperor is testing me, can't you hear it?" Zhong Liyu said helplessly.
"Probing? Probing what?" Uncle Zhong was confused. "How come I didn't notice anything?"
"The Emperor must have discovered something about the recent events that are related to our Southern Yan royal family, so he specially summoned Eunuch Zhou here today."
Zhong Liyu had no choice but to explain, "If I really asked to return to Southern Yan, then he would have ample reason to suspect that I helped the little princess twice for a purpose, and then suspect that this series of events might have been specially designed by me, with the purpose of using the little princess to ask the emperor to agree to send me back to Southern Yan.
"But the problem is, I haven't done anything. If I really make such a request, won't I be in trouble?"
After he said this, Uncle Zhong thought about it carefully and understood.
"But, young master, you are already eight years old. If you don't go back, you may never have a chance to compete for the throne!" Uncle Zhong said in an unwilling tone, "Young master is obviously the most outstanding among the princes.
"Just because the emperor favors that Bai, he sent the young master to the royal family of Dongqi!"
As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Zhongli Yu sighed helplessly again.
"Uncle Zhong, don't be sad. Let's use this 12,000 taels of gold to recruit some people, and we will train them ourselves," he said.
"Young Master?"
When Uncle Zhong heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "You, you are finally willing to develop your own power?"
Zhongli Yu smiled faintly and did not deny it.
Now, Uncle Zhong is more motivated.
"Excellent! Young Master, I've long told you to cultivate your own power early on. With your subordinates' abilities, what kind of assassins can't you train? But you refused to do so. You always said you didn't want to fight for anything, you didn't want anything, but how can this be possible?
"Even if you don't want to fight, the princes of the Southern Yan royal family and the concubines in the harem will not let you go!"
Uncle Zhong's tone was filled with resentment.
Zhongli Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"Uncle Zhong, you're right. I was wrong before. I thought that if I treated others kindly, everything would be fine. But later, I realized how wrong I was."
"Sir, are you okay?"
Uncle Zhong felt anxious when he heard his tone, which sounded as if he had experienced countless things in life. "Why do you say that? It seems..."
"Alright, Uncle Zhong, in short, let's do as you say. Build up our own power first. Also, starting tomorrow, I'll train with you. It's always better to be able to protect yourself than to ask others to protect you. That way, at least you won't cause others to die for you..."
Zhongli Yu said in a slightly heavy tone.
"Sir, don't scare me! Why do you talk like that as if you have already experienced a life-and-death situation?" Uncle Zhong was worried.
"I didn't mean to scare you. I just had a dream that was too real. Now, go and do this. Ten thousand taels of gold is enough for us to accomplish this."
Zhong Liyu gave Uncle Zhong a reassuring smile.
Although Uncle Zhong was still a little worried, the current matter was the most important.
As long as they build up their own power, their young master will not be so passive in the future, whether he is in Dongqi or returns to Nanyan.
Uncle Zhong gave a few more instructions and then left the palace with the silver.
With his skills, it was very easy for him to move freely inside and outside the palace.
When Zhongli Yu saw him leave, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thinking of the miserable scenes of his previous life, he closed his eyes in pain.
In his previous life, he lived a peaceful life, but was eventually killed by someone.
But what he could not have imagined was that after his death, Su Chushuang would actually take such crazy revenge on the royal family of Dongqi for him...
So much so that in the end, she died even more tragically than herself.
What made it even harder for him to accept was that Su Chushuang was secretly pregnant with his child.
Their daughter was hidden in the cold palace since she was a child, living a life of hunger. The little girl never enjoyed a good day, and died tragically at the hands of his and Su Chushuang's enemies when she was less than five years old.
Thinking of this, Zhongli Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
He didn't expect that he would be reborn.
The reunion with Su Chushuang made him certain that such a bizarre thing had actually happened.
This life is very different from the previous one.
For example, Su Chushuang entered the palace early and is now the three-and-a-half-year-old innocent and kind-hearted little Shuangbao, who has not yet become the girl she was in her previous life.
At this moment, Zhongli Yu looked straight ahead with a determined look in his eyes.
"Chu Shuang... Shuangbao, in this life, I will definitely protect you and prevent you from any danger. Also, when you grow up, our daughter will be born with great dignity and become the happiest little princess in the world!"
He clenched his fists.
In this life, he will never let himself, his beloved woman, and their child be slaughtered by others!
…
…
The Hall of Mental Cultivation was burned down by Concubine Zhao and was no longer habitable, so it needed to be renovated.
Emperor Chengxuan simply took Shuangbao and moved to the Qianqing Palace.
Shuangbao returned to his previous life, eating well every day and living a carefree life.
A brief period of peace suddenly returned to the palace.
The Queen took over the Phoenix Seal again. She was now completely recovered and full of energy. She quickly managed the harem, which had been in a mess due to Concubine Wang, back in order.
Concubine Wang was as quiet as a chicken. She stayed in Changle Palace all day and didn't dare to come out.
