Chapter 950: Chang Lian is a by-product

Zhou Shuren called Shenxing over, "You go and take a look too."

After Shen Xing left, Yang Zhumu was in a state of anxiety. "Wu Chun said that the most abundant thing in the capital is the rich and powerful. Although Shu Ren holds power, the Zhou family is the only one in the capital. The Zhou family must be extra careful and cautious. Shu Ren, Chang Lian will be fine, right?"

Zhulan has always known that her eldest nephew is the smartest one in the Yang family. She never expected that even though he is far away in Lizhou, he can see the capital so clearly. With Wuchun around, the Yang family has nothing to worry about.

Zhou Shuren knows that the Zhou family is envied, but he will not attack Chang Lian. It is not worth attacking the Zhou family at the moment, and he often goes to the palace. The emperor trusts him now, and the princes will not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. If they really want to attack him, they will have to wait until the critical moment. Now the princes are being polite to him because they are supporting him!

Zhou Shuren looked at his brother-in-law's worried expression and realized that he couldn't have dinner. "Maybe he was delayed by something."

Yang Zhumu's heart was pounding. Although the Zhou family seemed to be flourishing, he felt empty inside. The younger generation had not risen up and the Zhou family was just a facade. Everything was supported by his brother-in-law. If his brother-in-law fell, the Zhou family would be finished. Chang Lian was very important, and then came Chang Zhi. As for his brother-in-law's grandchildren, they were all too young.

Mingyun is the oldest. Even if he passes the imperial examination in one go, it will take five or six years. If he does not study enough and has bad luck, it may take more than ten years. It is not known whether his brother-in-law will still be around by then. Even if he is, it will take many years for Mingyun to make a living. As for Mingteng and Mingrui, it goes without saying.

So Changlian is very important, very important to the Zhou family.

Zhulan wanted to persuade her elder brother, but he looked so anxious. So she thought, he wouldn't listen even if she said anything. She could only wait for news.

Shen Xing rode back with news, "Prince Rongchuan and the Third Master were traveling together. Someone attacked their carriage. I don't know what happened to Prince Rongchuan and the Third Master. They are both in the palace now. Zhenyan is guarding outside the palace."

Zhulan knocked over the teacup with her hand, and it fell to the ground. "What did you just say?"

Shen Xing was sweating profusely. He had not expected such a serious incident to happen. With sweat dripping down his forehead, he repeated his words again and continued, "The servant brought by the Third Master is quite skilled in martial arts. The servant of Prince Rongchuan is also an expert. I heard that the fight was very intense. I don't know the details."

Zhou Shuren clenched his fists. Assassination attempt in the capital, good, very good. One is his son-in-law and the other is his own son. It's such a big deal, but no one was sent from the palace to inform him. It shows that the emperor is very angry now.

Zhou Shuren stood up. He was very calm, as if he had been slapped in the face. Just now he thought that no one would attack Chang Lian. He sat down again with a sullen face and motioned Shen Xing to guard the palace gate as well.

Zhulan was worried about her son and Rongchuan, and looked at Zhou Shuren. The more she got to know Zhou Shuren, the clearer it became that Zhou Shuren was furious. He was a person who always protected his faults, and this time he openly attacked, so one could imagine how angry Zhou Shuren was.

The two brothers Yang Zhumu were worried in their hearts, but they dared not breathe. They had forgotten the image of their brother-in-law in the past. At this moment, they dared not look at his face. His brother-in-law had been an official for many years and had built up his authority. The pressure from his aura was so great that they dared not breathe.

Zhou Shuren took a deep breath and calmed down. Today's assassination was aimed at Rongchuan, and Chang Lian was just a by-product. Rongchuan returned to the Zhou family regularly, and today was the day Rongchuan returned to the Zhou family. If Rongchuan got into trouble, the Zhou family and the Ning family would no longer have a relationship. With Chang Lian involved, the Zhou family would also be hit hard. Chang Lian would be able to be sent as an official in another year and a half. The Zhou family would have enough time to wait for Chang Zhi after waiting for another year and a half.

If something happens to Chang Lian, the Zhou family will lose its foundation, and it will take many years to cultivate Chang Zhi. The Zhou family will still be in name only.

These ideas are from the Zhou family's perspective.

Naturally, people think differently from different perspectives, but it is certain that if something happens to Rongchuan, it will be a blow to the prince, especially the series of reactions after Rongchuan's accident.

The most important thing now is that Zhou Shuren wants to know whether Rongchuan and Changlian are injured!

Zhou Shuren said quietly, "The storm has come, and I can't stand it anymore."

Regardless of the princes or various forces, the calm before the storm has passed. I just didn't expect that Rong Chuan would be attacked. However, he was indeed quick and accurate, and moved Rong Chuan into the Ning family. The Ning family's low profile can no longer be Protective color.

Zhulan remained silent after hearing what her husband said. She and Zhou Shuren tried their best to steer the Zhou family's boat, but there were strong winds and waves and they couldn't avoid it.

The two brothers Yang Zhumu sat opposite each other. They felt uneasy when they heard what he did not understand his brother-in-law.

Inside the palace, in the Zheng Hall, the emperor was fiddling with his bracelet very quickly, revealing his inner unrest. There were broken porcelains all over the floor.

The prince stood there motionless, and if you looked closely you could see the gloom in his eyes.

Eunuch Liu walked in with cat-like steps, fearing to make a big noise. He felt bitter, he really didn't want to face the current emperor. "Your Majesty, the Prince of Qi, the Prince of Chu, the Prince of Liang, and the Fifth Prince have arrived at the palace gate."

The emperor swept the teapot beside him to the ground and said, "No, let them go back. I won't see anyone."

He doesn't want to see anyone now, and he is suspicious of everyone except the crown prince. He doesn't care who it is, no one should lay a hand on Rongchuan, and be so cruel to him. His son, who was lost and found again, had already been lost once, and yet someone still dared to lay a hand on him!

Eunuch Liu quickly retreated to the entrance of the government hall when the emperor's voice came out, "If the assassin we capture dies, I will hold you accountable."

Eunuch Liu swallowed his saliva, his eyes were fierce, he would not let anyone die, "Yes."

The emperor continued to fiddle with his bracelet, and suddenly raised his head to look at the prince, "Who do you think it is?"

The prince thought of his troublesome brothers, but he suppressed his anger and said calmly, "My son can't tell who it is."

The emperor looked straight at his eldest son. Was there any anger in his heart? Yes, he was, he had raised him, he understood him, and now he could speak out calmly and selflessly, he should be happy, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he could be a qualified king, but not a good brother. The emperor mocked himself, he was really old, some useless feelings were increasing.

The prince didn't wait for his father's reply. He looked at him calmly. He also wanted to bite Zhang Jingyang, but he couldn't. Now is not the time for selfishness. "My son thinks that someone wants to muddy the water by attacking Rong Chuan. It may not be the case." Thanks to the efforts of Jingyang and others, it is easy to fish in troubled waters. Of course, it may be that your kindness to Rong Chuan has made your brothers jealous, and you have just thrown the Ning family into trouble."

The emperor changed the subject, "The servants in Zhou Shuren's house are good at martial arts, and the one Ningxu assigned to Rongchuan is also good. The people I arranged didn't even have to make a move, and half of the people were already dealt with."

The sound of fighting attracted patrolling soldiers again, and the talents he had arranged were not exposed.

Prince, "Zhou Changlian has done a great job today."

The emperor nodded. Today Zhou Changlian was just a bonus, targeting Rongchuan. In fact, this bonus helped Rongchuan a lot.
