Chapter 1544: Establishing the Country

Zhou family, Zhulan has been feeling uneasy since Jianyan came back with the letter. Shuren actually entered the palace, and he entered the palace alone at this time. The eyes of the entire capital will be focused on Shuren. It’s scary to think about it!

Zhou was so anxious that he was spinning around, "Mom, Dad has been in the palace for an hour and a half, how come there is no news from the palace?"

Zhulan had all sorts of guesses in her mind, but she remained calm on the surface, "Boss, please sit down."

Boss Zhou couldn't sit still because he couldn't hear the news from the palace. As soon as he sat down, he felt as if he was pricked by a needle. But when he met his mother's eyes, he held his breath and sat obediently.

Zhulan looked down at her hands. Now she understood why some people liked to grab beads. She also wanted to grab some. With something in her hands, she could calm her mind.

Apart from the eldest brother Zhou, all other adults in the Zhou family who can do work either go to the government office or to the academy. There are no brothers for the eldest brother to discuss things with.

After a cup of tea, Zhou Lao Da couldn't help but ask, "Mom, do you want to ask my second and fourth brothers to come back?"

Zhu Lan glared, "The capital has been eyeing our mansion, and you still went to great lengths to send them back. Who knows what rumors will spread."

Boss Zhou shut up, but why was he so uneasy in his heart?

Zhulan closed her eyes and didn't want to look at her eldest son, as his emotions would affect her.

Chang Yi from the Ministry of Rites was also confused. They had already sent away several waves of people who came to inquire about the news, so how would he know?

Lord Liu also seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Chang Yi looked upset, "I really don't know."

Lord Liu believed it. He also knew a little about his future in-law's temperament, but he still wanted to know more. "Didn't the Marquis reveal it?"

Chang Yi shook his head, "No, my brother-in-law came to the capital yesterday, and I didn't see my father last night. We didn't leave together this morning, and we didn't talk."

Lord Liu felt a little regretful, and said, "It should be a good thing to invite you to the palace at this time. The emperor really values ​​you!"

Chang Yi curled his lips. His father certainly didn't want this kind of attention. Hey, he was very worried about his father. Without any news from the palace, he felt uneasy.

There were all kinds of speculations outside the palace, but inside the palace, Zhou Shuren had already gone to the toilet, eaten some pastries, and watched the emperor fall asleep with a wooden face.

The empress dowager also went to rest, and there were only him and the emperor in the bedroom. The emperor was taking a nap and really wanted to curse. Not only could he not leave the palace, he was also tied up in the bedroom.

Zhou Shuren glanced at Eunuch Zhang who was guarding the door. He wanted to go out, but alas, the retired emperor's condition was getting worse due to nightmares, so he had to keep him to feel safe.

However, Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes. He believed that what the retired emperor dreamed was true. Without him, the court would indeed go like a dream. What the retired emperor said was not the most serious. The temperature was abnormal, and food would always be in short supply. There was no good plan, and there was a global food shortage. People would have no chance to survive, so they would naturally fight. What would follow was war and chaos.

Zhou Shuren breathed a sigh of relief. By then, the entire dynasty might end, with corpses strewn all over the ground. Just thinking about it was depressing, not to mention the emperor in the dream. The emperor cared so much about the country. If it was a real dream, it would be strange if the emperor was not seriously ill.

The emperor did not seem to fall asleep. He moved his ears and opened his eyes. He saw that Marquis Zhou had a heavy face. "Why is Marquis Zhou sighing?"

Zhou Shuren, "I can enter the palace tomorrow. I don't know what the whole capital is talking about me now."

The emperor glanced at his sleeping father. Not to mention that his father was exhausted both physically and mentally, he was also frightened after hearing his father's nightmare. He thought carefully that if it weren't for Marquis Zhou, his father's dream might have become a reality. He was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Not to mention that his father didn't let Marquis Zhou leave for peace of mind, he also wanted to find peace of mind.

The emperor said, "I will send someone to inform Zhou Houfu. If you are tired, you can rest here."

Zhou Shuren, "......"

He didn't want to waste any more time talking. This showed that he was determined not to let him leave.

The emperor added, "After the master of the Huguo Temple has read your fortune tomorrow, you can go back."

Zhou Shuren, "......"

He can't escape, it's really annoying.

In the bedroom, Zhou Shuren couldn't help shrinking while sitting on the small kang. Finally, he couldn't sit still anymore and simply let himself go. He pulled the pillow beside him and lay down with his head tilted. Whatever happens, he won't stay up any longer and will fall asleep.

emperor,"......"

The corner of Eunuch Zhang's mouth twitched and he quickly lowered his head. Marquis Zhou's position in his heart was raised again, and he now submitted to Marquis Zhou.

The prince didn't know what was going on inside the bedroom, so he had to guard outside. Several uncles had already left, and the prince didn't understand why the emperor invited Marquis Zhou into the palace.

It was getting dark, and all the Zhou family members who had gone to the government office had returned and were staying in the main courtyard. Changyi and the others were in a daze as they listened to their mother finish her words.

Chang Yi couldn't help but confirm again, "Mom, you said my dad stayed in the palace tonight?"

Zhulan, "Yeah."

Changzhi swallowed his saliva, "Mom, the emperor?"

Zhu Lan's face was wooden. "The emperor has woken up. The imperial physician said he needs to be taken good care of."

Changzhi understood. It meant that the retired emperor was fine and had not left any will or instructions. Then why didn't he let his father leave the palace?

Mingyun asked, "Grandma, has my uncle left the palace?"

Zhu Lan shook her head, "No, I'm still in the palace. Okay, all of you don't have to stay here anymore. Go back and do what you need to do."

Boss Zhou refused to leave, "Mom, Li and I will accompany you."

Zhulan waved her hand, "No need, you guys go back."

She asked Eunuch Zhang why Shuren stayed in the palace. Eunuch Zhang just smiled and told her not to worry. Finally, he left politely.

Zhulan racked her brains but couldn't think of any good thing. Promotion was impossible, and the emperor was fine, so what good thing could come of it? Could it be that she became the prince's master? Would that be a good thing? She just felt bad, and the royal family didn't keep their word.

Many people couldn't sleep that night, and several princes in the palace were even more confused. Zhou Shuren was guarding his father in the bedroom, and even the crown prince didn't have this treatment!

Don't talk about relatives, bah, I don't know how distant relatives are.

Rong Chuan faced his brothers' questions with a frozen expression, "Brothers, please don't make things difficult for me. I really don't know."

He was also confused. When his father woke up, he didn't see any of his sons except the emperor. He only saw his father-in-law and kept his father-in-law to accompany him. It was really strange.

Zhou Shuren had already changed into his casual clothes brought from home. He had never thought that he would be able to share a bedroom with the retired emperor in this life. However, the small kang was not very comfortable to sleep on.

The next day, the master of Huguo Temple entered the palace in a low profile. The prince entered the bedroom this time. Master Huixin of Huguo Temple was surprised when he heard the request, "Your Majesty, you asked the poor monk to calculate Zhou Hou, why do you want to calculate it again?"

Zhou Shuren had been feeling anxious ever since he saw the old monk, but now he felt relieved. The emperor had even secretly calculated for him!

The Emperor had a good rest yesterday, and his face looked much less gloomy. "I have been having nightmares recently, and Lord Zhou was not in my dreams. Please, Master, do a fortune telling for Lord Zhou."

After listening to the dream of the retired emperor, Master Huixin turned around to look at Marquis Zhou. Last time, he only calculated his birth chart, but this time he saw his face. After a moment of silence, he said, "What the poor monk calculated is correct. Marquis Zhou will stabilize the country and bring peace to the nation."

Zhou Shuren, "......"
