Chen Xi returned home somewhat dazed.
Chen Zhen went to meet her, to see what was wrong with her.
The maids and wives didn't know much about it, especially since it was not appropriate to talk about things in the Eastern Palace outside.
Chen Xi thought about it and decided to go see her grandfather. Men's matters are unpredictable, but her grandfather was usually more accurate.
As for avoiding the character "准" (zhǔn), you can use "确" (què) instead, that's the idea.
In the study. Chen Zuo observed, thinking, "Empress Huan is truly formidable."
Chen Yin was very curious: "What did the Empress say to you?"
Chen Xi's expression was complicated: "It's nothing. Actually, men aren't always reliable; you still have to rely on yourself. If Mother hadn't acted that way back then, she should have..."
Chen Xi couldn't explain it either; it was very complicated.
Chen Yin didn't think she had broken any taboos, after all, the You family had caused them harm.
The You family seems powerful, keeping Chen Zhun under tight control; however, she also relies on the Chen family and causes them harm.
Chen Zhen was very curious.
A servant then came to report: "Zuo Hao has been captured."
Chen Zuo was bewildered. What was Zuo Hao?
The servant explained, "Zhou You, the eunuch supervisor, is said to be from the Zuo family of Huanting. This Zuo Hao is also from the Zuo family and is related to Zhuang Jiong. He has been in Sheng'an for quite some time and previously wanted to exterminate the entire Zuo family, so many people were arrested in Shengping Ward, and they should still be surrounding the area now."
Chen Zuo understood.
The Zuo family of Huanting has been exterminated, yet they still dare to come to Sheng'an, using the Zhuang family's name.
A group hiding in Shengpingfang were caught red-handed.
Chen Xi broke out in a cold sweat. If she got involved with Zuo Hao, wouldn't the Chen family be finished?
It's not about whether Chen Xi and he have any real feelings for each other, but does he have any real feelings for Chen Xi? I'm so angry!
Chen Ke didn't understand: "What is Zuo Hao thinking?"
Chen Zhen had an idea: "Our family and Consort Huan aren't exactly on good terms, so..."
Chen Ke thought about it.
Does this mean Chen Xi will definitely anger Empress Huan? If the Chen family gets angry again, they'll collapse and fall into the water?
Chen Zhen blushed slightly. Could it be that the Chen family's daughter and Lady Huan were really that incompatible?
Chen Zuo didn't bother to think about it: "Be more careful in the future. These people have too many crooked ways."
Chen Yin was displeased: "If Zuo Hao had known this outcome, would he have done this?"
Chen Ke said, "They underestimated Grandfather, they underestimated Lady Huan, and they underestimated Third Sister. Are the daughters of the Chen family really that brainless?"
Chen Xi blushed.
Chen Zhen comforted her, "You'll see when you compare it to the Pei family. Lady Huan didn't seem to care, did she?"
Chen Xi looked at her, wondering if comparing her to the Pei family was really meant to comfort her.
Chen Zhen said, "Look at Taihua Zhenren, wasn't she clever before? Why isn't she any smarter now?"
Chen Xi nodded.
Taihua Zhenren is truly not very clever. What a wonderful life for this concubine's daughter, living the most comfortable life ever!
So why is she arguing with King Zheng? Doesn't King Zheng know how to manage his own life?
Why is she competing with the Crown Prince? The Qing'e Palace will become the Empress's Palace in the future, so it's not worth it for Master Taihua to compete with her.
Chen Zhen also heard about it: "Changhe County had a bumper harvest this year, and Madam Jing is living a very comfortable life there."
Of course, this is on the premise that he is the future brother-in-law of the emperor, and that the Chang family is not large and doesn't have that many troublesome matters.
Even if I marry into the Bai or Fu family, will I be comfortable from now on?
Chen Zuo nodded: "Baishi Village is the easiest to get through. But without Consort Huan in the palace, Baishi Village would be gone too."
Chen Zuo felt a little regretful that Chang Zihe didn't have many brothers, nor did Chang Shuigen, and their other relationships were distant.
His daughter from the Chen family can marry into the Chang family, but it can't be a haphazard marriage that makes people laugh.
**
Xie Zhou returned to Qing'e Palace.
Huan Yue was looking at the dishes.
Xie Zhou held his wife's hand. Was she planning to run away with the baby?
Huan Yue glanced at him and suddenly asked, "If Your Highness were to encounter a woman like that, with a child, would you take her back?"
Xie Zhou stared intently at his wife; it was extremely dangerous!
The wind is blowing! And there are dark clouds!
Is Xie Zhou in danger, or is he simply lacking in status?
Huan Yue didn't find it strange; many people do this. Moreover, "With Your Highness involved, the runaway slaves are no problem."
Xie Zhou bit her cheek.
The palace maids lowered their heads, feeling that it was quite dangerous for His Highness to have survived until now, and that the Empress was forced to run away while pregnant.
Of course, Gui Nu's escape was illegal.
No matter how good or pitiful she was, being a runaway slave is still a crime. If someone uses another person to obtain a household registration, is that fair to the person being used? If it's discovered, there will definitely be consequences.
Perhaps from Gui Nu's perspective, she did her best, but the method of her efforts must be correct.
Otherwise, what's the difference between them and those Confucian scholars?
Huan Yue didn't beat the scoundrel, but said, "Remarriage should be more free, and women's household registration should be properly managed, otherwise there will always be problems."
Xie Zhou nodded.
In the future, household registration will not only include men, but also women.
Even if that maid was living a miserable life, she could only get things done through proper channels. Wasn't she clever? Couldn't she think of a way?
The palace maid thought, "I don't want the child anymore, so I'll send myself to the estate."
Another person said, "Wouldn't disfiguring him solve the problem?"
A woman's face is important, but not that important.
The maid said, "She can use Yinshuang to get in touch with the old lady. Wouldn't the old lady use this opportunity to suppress the madam?"
The palace maid smiled and said, "Although we may have offended the madam, we may still be able to please the old lady."
One person asked, "Are you two-faced?"
Huan Yue smiled and said, "Not necessarily, it mainly depends on how it is done. If it's really just to survive, then it won't hurt anyone."
Sometimes, there's no other way to survive in the cracks.
But people must always have a bottom line.
Xie Zhou pulled his wife into the house.
The discovery by Zuo Hao and some others was quite unexpected.
They're very cunning; they'll give themselves away if they make any move.
Huan Yue asked, "Should we dig three feet into the ground in Shengping Ward?"
Xie Zhou said, "One side of Shengpingfang is relatively high, so there should be quite a few caves there. It will take longer to investigate."
Huan Yue simply ignored it.
Xie Zhou is now more worried: "If you run, remember to take me with you."
Huan Yue asked, "How long has it been since your father beat you?"
Xie Zhou blinked and said, "Think about it carefully."
父皇揍他是蛮少，这储君、以后皇帝还是必须做的，爱美人不要江山不是他的事儿。
Huan Yue didn't think much of it. Neither the male lead nor his white moonlight had given up the empire; having the empire is what makes a powerful CEO.
This is his responsibility; if he abandons it now, who knows how chaotic things will become.
Did you think that Xie Yu would replace him and that would be the end of it?
The trust between the emperor and Xie Zhen may not be able to be established. If no one trusts him, will it be possible to force Xie Zhen into this situation?
Just my wild imagination.
It's cloudy today; it might rain tomorrow.
What is Xie Zhou worried about when he looks at his wife?
Huan Yue had nothing to worry about; his days in the palace were incredibly comfortable.
Xie Zhou was happy as long as she was satisfied; he could get her anything she wanted to eat or play with.
Huan Yue didn't have such a strong interest. Besides, there were already plenty of tributes.
Xie Zhou knew she wanted to go out and play, and that there would be other opportunities in the future.
The eunuch came to report: "More than twenty of those Confucian scholars have died."
Huan Yue asked, "Will you threaten to kill yourself, or will you be murdered?"
Xie Zhou guessed: "It was most likely murder."
