Chapter 3
"Tang Mi, you also grew up in the palace and have experienced a lot. You should weigh what you should and shouldn't say. Don't start nagging like a loudspeaker just because some random people are making promises to you. Do you understand what I mean by a miscellaneous person?"
Tang Mitang was shocked when she heard this. She remembered that Tang Mi had met Prince Lan Zhou Erlan and was attracted to him, so she met with him twice secretly. She did not say anything to Zhou Erlan. After all, this little girl would be loyal to the empress after she thought it through.
But Chang Xi knew all this, so he wouldn't suspect her of being a spy, right?
"What do you mean, father-in-law?" Tang Mitang asked Chang Xi with a puzzled look on his face.
"Haha~ I think you understand. Be more careful when doing things in the future and know who is the master, otherwise..." Chang Xi didn't finish his words. He sneered and looked at the little palace maid who was being dragged out of the secret prison in the corridor.
Tang Mitang followed his gaze. The bloody mess looked extremely terrifying under the orange candlelight. Tang Mitang shuddered and nodded to Chang Xi, realizing her own situation.
"Okay, smart boy, go back and have a rest. Come to Daming Palace to serve you tomorrow." After Chang Xi finished speaking, he flicked his whisk and walked out.
Tang Mitang, with his mind full of desire to survive, walked towards the Imperial Hospital step by step.
Oh my god, why did she have to insert herself into the royal dispute!
He was loyal to Empress Zhou Xuanqing all his life, but in the end he would be torn to pieces by Zhou Erlan.
If she rebelled, she would never know when she would become like that palace maid and be killed by Zhou Xuanqing.
She just wants to be a quiet idler, why give her a choice question that only leads to death!
Why did she come to Cheng Zixuan's story!
Wait, it seems there is a third option!
Cheng Zixuan used himself as the prototype to create a character named Cheng Zhixuan, also known as Zhixuan, who is Zhou Erlan's doorman. He is a think tank who helps Zhou Erlan overthrow the Demon Empress and has a brotherly relationship with Zhou Erlan.
Bah! Just because Cheng Zixuan is a bit of a lunatic, he's also a bit of a moron. How can he be a think tank? But he's the author, so he definitely has some advantages. I should trust him!
She can hug his thighs. In her previous life, she could become besties with Cheng Zixuan. Can't she become friends with Cheng Zixuan in this life? Then she can hug his thighs and enjoy the coolness, eat and drink for free, and reach the new peak of Xianyu!
Tang Mitang became happier the more she thought about it. She walked briskly back to her room, glanced at the door that Xuan Er had kicked in, and shut it with force. She climbed onto the bed and fell asleep peacefully.
There is a solution, and all problems are not problems.
The candlelight in the main hall of Taiming Palace flickered. Zhou Xuanqing looked at the urgent secret document in his hand and chuckled.
Are the Quanrong troops gathering and training to attack the Great Zhou?
Don't overestimate your abilities.
"Master." A black shadow knelt in front of Zhou Xuanqing, his cold-blooded face full of respect.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xuanqing glanced at him indifferently and put the confidential document in his hand aside.
"I followed him all the way to Prince Lan's Mansion, and he went to see Prince Lan."
After listening to this, Zhou Xuan's eyes darkened, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed across his gloomy face.
Zhou Xuanqing waved his hand and asked him to go out.
"We will not pursue this matter further." We will not pursue it, but we cannot pretend that we don't know.
Zhou Xuanqing's cold voice was heard, the candles beside the table went out, and the main hall became dim.
Chang Xi stood at the door and grabbed Xuan Jiu who had just come out.
"Xuan Jiu, even though the Emperor won't pursue the matter, you still need to keep an eye on that place to prevent any further trouble."
Seeing the confusion in Chang Xi's eyes, Xuan Jiu nodded and said, "I know. Take good care of the master."
Chang Xi watched him leave in a leisurely manner and sighed. This Prince Lan could never tell the difference between relatives and strangers.
In Prince Lan's Mansion, Zhou Erlan looked at the person in front of him with some excitement.
"Zhixuan, was the imperial sister really shot by an arrow?" It has been nearly half an hour, why is there still no news?
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We'll know tomorrow morning at the court." Cheng Zhixuan reassured Zhou Erlan. He had personally witnessed the emperor being shot and unconscious. With no further news, it seemed the imperialist faction within the palace was truly formidable.
Zhou Erlan touched his chin and nodded with satisfaction when he saw Cheng Zhixuan's confident look.
"I believe in Zhixuan. Tomorrow I will go to the palace with the imperial edict left by my father. My sister has been on the throne for me for six years. It's time for her to be a princess again and have a good rest." Zhou Erlan said with excitement in her eyes.
Six years ago, when he was eleven, his father had handed the throne to his sister, who was two years older than him. The imperial edict stated that the throne would be passed from the eldest princess, Zhou Xuanqing, to the eldest prince, Zhou Erlan.
I didn't expect that the imperial sister was addicted to being the emperor and had been doing it for so many years without saying a word. She allowed him to learn so many miscellaneous things every day and didn't quickly return the throne to me.
Zhixuan was right. The emperor's sister just didn't want to hand over the throne to him. Now the emperor's sister has two concubines in the palace. If she gets pregnant and gives birth to a baby boy, the Zhou family will change their surname! What does it have to do with him, Zhou Erlan?
"Your Highness may rest assured. With the imperial edict, all civil and military officials will support you." Cheng Zhixuan said with a bow, his respect clearly revealed.
Zhou Erlan was pleased by his respect and returned to her yard to rest with satisfaction.
Cheng Zhixuan watched him leave, bowed respectfully, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Erlan returned to his room, took off his coat, and was about to jump into his beautiful bed. Suddenly, he saw the woman on the bed and took two steps back.
"Wood! Get in here!"
Zhou Erlan shouted to the door, "Asshole, this woman actually covered himself with his quilt! Sleeping in his bed!"
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Mu Tou pushed the door open and came in. Seeing the woman on the bed, he glanced at her calmly and said, "Oh~ The Concubine Dowager arranged it."
"What?" Zhou Erlan shouted in surprise.
"The concubine said that you are old enough to get married, so she lets you practice first." Mu Tou said calmly.
Zhou Erlan scratched her hair angrily. Why did this concubine meddle in other people's affairs every day? The imperial sister didn't care, so why should she?
"Marriage is a matter for which you have to make the decision yourself. Tomorrow you go and tell the Concubine Dowager not to interfere in my affairs! I'll sleep in your room today, so you have to deal with this woman for me!" Zhou Erlan said, and left angrily.
Mu Tou scratched his head, wrapped the woman on the bed in a quilt, carried her out of the room, and threw her into the doghouse in another yard.
"Marriage is a matter that only you can decide for yourself. Didn't the emperor say so?" Mu Tou muttered to himself, then returned to his room, looked at the prince who occupied his bed, sighed, flew onto the beam, and went to sleep.
