The next day.
There was no peace in Iris Courtyard early in the morning.
Last night, Xiao Chenyan and Qing Wu 'accidentally' seized the power of Shentu Yulei to protect the people on earth.
This wave of events was quite a big deal, and both of them were a little excited.
I couldn't sleep after going to bed, so I did something to let off some steam.
Although they still didn't get to the point, there were many reasons. Qing Wu had never eaten pork, but she had seen many pigs run. Plus, she was used to being strong, and felt that her performance at the hands of Xiao Chenyan was too cowardly, so she had to compete with him to see who was better.
After tossing and turning for half the night, both of them were exhausted. In the end, they were just scratching the surface and the more they played, the more bored they became.
When it was time to take a shower and go to bed, Qing Wu became angrier and angrier, and kicked Xiao Chenyan off the bed.
The man stood beside the bed with a grim face, thinking that this little female ghost was really cruel and ruthless.
This was not her attitude when he was 'serving her diligently' in front of her.
Qing Wu glared at him: "You are useless! If you have the guts, you should fight for real!"
Xiao Chenyan: Who is the reason why he doesn't dare to take real action?
Qing Wu didn't know that her bigamy had been exposed, and she angrily scolded the man for his incompetence.
It’s all because the stinky inkstone is too weak now!
He was not allowed to go up even if he was struck by lightning, because he might be killed by a few thunderbolts.
"Haven't you eaten ginseng for a long time? Hurry up and eat it to replenish your body. You are weak now. If you really encounter something serious, I will have to support you."
Qing Wu shook her head and sighed, then fell back to sleep: "Useless man."
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
So angry.
It's impossible not to be angry.
The three words "useless" are a man's Achilles' heel.
In every aspect!
Because of the fight at the head of the bed last night, the two were unable to make peace at the foot of the bed at dawn.
Xiao Chenyan woke up early, and seeing Jiaojiao sleeping soundly in his arms, he could only suppress his desire, thinking that he still had to do the "bed end and bed" thing before she woke up.
Arguments cannot last overnight.
But before he had a chance, some blind creature came to disrupt the situation.
Qing Wu woke up cursing, and when she opened her eyes and saw Xiao Chenyan's handsome face, her anger not only did not subside, but it even increased.
"It just brings me trouble every day!"
She pushed the man off the bed, covered her head and continued to sleep, her voice roaring from under the quilt: "You brought this trouble, you have to solve it yourself!"
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
A moment later, all the servants in the Iris Courtyard saw their prince walk out of the room with a sullen face.
At the gate of the courtyard, Prince Hui, who was stopped, kept looking around.
After looking at Xiao Chenyan, he finally stopped "crowing like a fat chicken" and looked at his beloved nephew eagerly.
Xiao Chenyan stared at the trouble he had brought upon himself, and his icy tone when he spoke was colder than the chilly wind blowing in the early winter morning.
"Prince Hui came to my princess's courtyard early in the morning and made a scene. Does that mean he has no attachment to this world?"
When Prince Hui heard these cruel words, he felt aggrieved.
How come even Fourth Uncle doesn’t care anymore?
"Yan, why don't you drink some hot water? What you said is too chilling. It makes my heart go cold just by listening to it."
Xiao Chenyan looked at him coldly, and the words that came out of his mouth became more and more insensitive: "The heart will indeed become colder and colder when it is dug out of the chest."
The flesh on Prince Hui’s body trembled.
Good man, this is a threat! He actually wants Black Tiger to take out his heart!
Prince Hui didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and said aggrievedly: "Why don't you go to work? Now the whole capital knows that you are here, so you can't stay at home to accompany your niece-in-law anymore, right?"
"The injustice of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion has spread all over the world. Now that you are in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, you should have a lot of things to do there."
Prince Hui's words were not groundless.
First, according to the rules, the properties that were confiscated from the Marquis Zhenguo’s Mansion must be returned to Qing Wu.
But now that the impostor is here, Xiao Chenyan naturally won't let her take advantage of this.
This matter really needs his personal handling.
Next is the matter of compensation for those soldiers who died in the battle.
In the past ten years, the court has not allocated a single cent to those families, but instead, the little kids in their families have taken all the private money.
The imperial court of Dayong was in a state of chaos. With the old emperor, the biggest cancer, the administration of officials was as chaotic as a child's play.
In the eyes of the witch clan, human life is worthless.
In front of the powerful gods, ghosts and witches, the human race seems so insignificant, and life and death seem to be unimportant.
But just because human beings are insignificant, do they not count as lives?
Xiao Chenyan does not have Cangming's memory, nor does he recognize the witch bloodline in himself. In this life, he is reborn as a human. He is the late crown prince Xiao Ji and the son of the late crown princess Xie Yu.
He should think about Cang Bei.
Support the mountains and seas when they are about to collapse, and hold up the millet when it is hanging upside down.
This is what he should do as a human being, and it is also his responsibility as a king.
"Let's go into the palace."
Xiao Chenyan walked out, and Prince Hui quickly followed him, feeling relieved.
He doesn't dare to go into the palace alone to do his work now. He only feels safe when he is with his nephew.
"Your Majesty actually asked you, my fourth uncle, to assist in the affairs. I, your fourth uncle, should also think about how to collect the pensions owed by the court."
Prince Hui exclaimed: "Of course it came from the national treasury."
Xiao Chenyan sneered, "National treasury?"
Looking at the treasury of Dayong, even mice would shake their heads.
"I'm sorry that I can't help you with this money matter. As you know, your aunt is in charge of the Huiwang Mansion..."
"If Fourth Uncle can't think of anything, then go and entertain the Hu envoys."
"Okay, eating, drinking and having fun, I am your fourth uncle and I am the best at it."
Xiao Chenyan paused and glared at him coldly.
King Hui slapped his lips and said righteously: "Bah! The Hu people bullied the people of Dayong and killed so many dying people. They still want me to entertain them. I entertain them and they are ashamed!"
Xiao Chenyan's lips curled up into a smile, but the smile was not reflected in his eyes: "Fourth Uncle, have you ever thought about how the Hu people and Dayong have been enemies for so long? Why did they suddenly ask for peace?"
"Just after the news of the peace proposal was delivered to the palace, the envoys arrived in the capital within a few days."
"Ten years ago, in a war, the Marquis of Zhenguo died, and 100,000 soldiers died. In the end, this matter was simply concluded with a statement that the deposed crown prince was trying to seize power and colluding with the Hu people."
Prince Hui's lips began to tremble.
"Fourth Uncle, have you visited the deposed crown prince?"
Prince Hui felt a chill on his back and looked at Xiao Chenyan in horror.
He knew that his evil father had been possessed by a demon and had become a lackey of the witch clan.
The information revealed by Xiao Chenyan was another side of the story that Prince Hui had never thought about deeply.
That is...the war between Dayong and the Hu people ten years ago was also a game!
It's a 'game' played by the witch clan using human lives as pawns!
The so-called Hu people asked for peace, and even the "Witch Clan" had already existed in the Hu royal court.
Did King Hui think that entertaining the Hu envoys was a safe task?
In fact, for everyone involved in this game, is there any place in this world that is absolutely safe?
There is danger everywhere.
Prince Hui wanted to cry. This guy, why is it so difficult to be a human being!
What does the intrigue and power struggle in the court mean? These inhuman things can easily cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
Can't we just let these mortals grow old and die normally?
"etc."
Prince Hui realized it later, and the hair on his back stood up. He pointed behind him, swallowed his saliva and said:
"Then, then your little childhood sweetheart..."
Xiao Chenyan looked at Prince Hui, and after careful consideration, he still didn't want to test his fourth uncle's brain and courage.
“She’s a normal person.”
I don’t have any ghost power, witchcraft power, or magic power, so how can I not be considered an ordinary person?
Prince Hui breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest vigorously.
"That's good, that's good. Then I won't be afraid anymore..."
As Prince Hui was speaking, he caught a glimpse of the two images of gods posted at the entrance of the palace, and couldn't help but smile:
"When were these two images of gods posted? What gods are they?"
"Hey, the guy next to me wearing colorful armor is as majestic and domineering as me. I'll get a set of this armor and try it on. I'm sure I'll be as majestic as the guy in the picture."
Xiao Chenyan paused for a moment before he got on the horse. After he got on the horse, he looked at the silly and happy Prince Hui and said meaningfully:
"This is the door god Shentu, who can protect the house and kill evil spirits."
"Some things are better to just think about."
Prince Hui blinked and watched Xiao Chenyan riding away with the black-armored guards. He quickly climbed onto the carriage, still wondering in his fat head: What's going on?
Prince Hui didn't want to think about it anymore, so he simply gave up. However, he did not forget to give orders and asked the craftsmen in the palace to make this set of armor for him.
Oh, no! His armor must be more majestic than the door god Shen Tu's. Only in this way can he match his noble status.
