After arguing with the little guy for a long time, the little child was finally carried away by the wet nurse before he could eat.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou also calmly ate dinner.

After dinner, shadow guard sent a message from Zhou Huan saying that Zhou Yuer had come from her hometown and had contacted Zhou Huan. However, shadow guard did not let the two of them meet for the time being.

"Zhou Yuer?" Shi Qingzhou was surprised.

"Yes." Long Xiaoyuan nodded. "Hmm, we really have forgotten about this woman."

"When she was in the Heaven Concealment Castle, she had almost always locked herself in her room … Furthermore, the matter of the Zhou Family has nothing to do with her, it would be normal for her to forget about it. "

Zhou Yuer's father was Zhou Hengliang's cousin, and Zhou Yuer was Zhou Huan's niece.

Heaven Concealment Castle Fang Qiuhua's case didn't find her, so she didn't do anything.

However, why did this woman come here now?

Long Xiaoyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Since she wants to see Zhou Huan, then let's see what she wants to do."

Shi Qingzhou nodded. But no matter what she wanted to do... Zhou Huan has to send someone to follow close range. "

"Yeah, I think so too." Long Xiaoyuan called over shadow guard and instructed him to do something.

After shadow guard left, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou walked for a while before returning to their bedroom.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou went to bed after showering for the whole afternoon. The two of them didn't feel sleepy anymore, but it was better for them to rest while lying on the bed.

Holding the hand of the person beside him, Long Xiaoyuan then lifted Shi Qingzhou's hand and placed it on his chest.

Shi Qingzhou heard the heat and powerful heartbeat coming from the center of his palm and felt calmer in his heart.

Shi Qingzhou, who felt calm, held Long Xiaoyuan's hand in front of his chest.

After a long while, Long Xiaoyuan said softly, "Qingzhou, tell me, now …"

"Hmm?" Seeing Long Xiaoyuan stop as he said that, Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "Now what?"

Long Xiaoyuan thought about it and said, "I just feel that the current situation is a bit complicated."

"What do you mean?"

Long Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly. In general, I have the feeling that more than one group of people are doing the same thing behind us. "

Shi Qingzhou paused. "What do you suspect?"

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head, "I can't explain it clearly, I just feel that something is not right."

Shi Qingzhou didn't say anything immediately. In the blink of an eye, he fixed his gaze on Long Xiaoyuan. Finally, Long Xiaoyuan sighed softly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. No matter how many groups of people there are, there will always be one."

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Right."

After talking for a while, Long Xiaoyuan turned his body to the side, hugged Shi Qingzhou and went to sleep …

The next day, when Long Xiaoyuan woke up, the person beside him was still asleep. Long Xiaoyuan looked over and saw the person's beautiful sleeping face.

Gently getting up, Long Xiaoyuan took his clothes to the outer room to change his clothes.

These days, in order to not disturb Shi Qingzhou's sleep in the morning, he chose to dress outside most of the time.

After Long Xiaoyuan went to the outer room to dress under the eunuch Liu Xiangyang, he looked at the sky and then left to attend the morning court.

What he didn't know was that Shi Qingzhou woke up right after the other person left. He quickly got up, changed his clothes and went straight down to the basement.

There, two men in green were already waiting.

"Greetings, Master." When Shi Qingzhou arrived, the two men knelt down and greeted him.

Shi Qingzhou waved his hand. "Alright, get up."

The two azure-robed men rose to their feet.

"Go!" Shi Qingzhou ordered indifferently. Follow behind Fang Shuoyang and Xu You and monitor them from the shadows. If Fang Shuoyang is not a threat, just watch him. If there is... "Kill them all."

"Yes." The two azure-robed men obeyed the order in unison.

Shi Qingzhou didn't say anything else, turned around and left the dark room.

As for the two azure-dressed men, they went along the dark room and found another secret passage. They disappeared without a trace.

After Shi Qingzhou went upstairs, he sat in the room for a while and then went to the study room.

When they arrived at the study room, Shi Qingzhou casually made a picture.

At the last stroke, Long Xiaoyuan returned.

Shi Qingzhou looked towards the door.

Long Xiaoyuan walked over. Was the light boat drawing? Let me see. "

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "Right."

Long Xiaoyuan carefully picked up the painting in Shi Qingzhou's hand, "Oh? It's actually an animal? "

Shi Qingzhou was drawing a cat. The ink painting of the black cat looked like it was trying to pounce and eat. It looked quite interesting.

"En, how is it?" Shi Qingzhou asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Long Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "I like all the paintings of the light boats!"

Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly. "Oh?"

"Of course not." Long Xiaoyuan put away Shi Qingzhou's painting before hugging his waist from the other party's back.

Shi Qingzhou looked at his waist and smiled.

Long Xiaoyuan hugged him for a while, then pulled his hand to get ready for breakfast.

The people below brought the breakfast up. Long Xiaoyuan pulled Shi Qingzhou and sat down at the table.

"Reporting to your majesty, Imperial Consort Shan requests an audience."

"Hmm?" Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows. " Ask her why. "

"Yes." Liu Xiangyang excused himself.

Shi Qingzhou frowned slightly, "What is she doing here?"

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "I don't know."

Shi Qingzhou bit his lips. "One Soft Imperial Consort came over and poisoned you, and now there's another Imperial Consort Shan."

Hearing Shi Qingzhou's slightly cold words, Long Xiaoyuan instinctively felt guilty.

"A light boat …"

Shi Qingzhou put down his bowl and chopsticks. At this moment, Liu Xiangyang, the vice director, walked in again.

"Reporting to the emperor, the empress, Imperial Consort Shandao came for concubine's matter. He wants to speak to the emperor in detail."

"concubine?" Long Xiaoyuan was slightly surprised.

He knew about concubine. After his mother passed away, there weren't many Grand Concubines left in the previous generation of the previous emperors. concubine was one of them.

When concubine was still alive, Long Xiaoyuan had gone to see her twice before.

Not only that, concubine had a good relationship with him as well.

When they were alive, concubine had interacted quite a bit with the other person, and she had taken care of concubine as well as Imperial Concubine Rong at that time.

However, after Long Xiaoyuan ascended to the throne, although this concubine also lived in the palace, she no longer carried on with the affairs of the world.

Now Imperial Consort Shan said it was because of concubine … No matter how he thought about it, it was very strange!

Narrowing his eyes, Shi Qingzhou said, "No matter why Imperial Consort Shan came, Soft Imperial Consort's incident might happen again. I'll meet her."

Seeing Shi Qingzhou in such a bad mood, Long Xiaoyuan didn't want to argue with him.

Thus, Long Xiaoyuan nodded his head with both his hands wide open. "Alright, then I'll take my leave for a while."

Shi Qingzhou nodded and didn't immediately call anyone in. Instead, he slowly finished the remaining two mouthfuls of breakfast. Then, he ordered someone to pull the breakfast down and called Imperial Consort Shan in.

When Imperial Consort Shan came in and saw that there was only Shi Qingzhou waiting for her, she knew that things would not go smoothly for the day.

However … There was no other way now!

After Imperial Consort Shan entered, she paid her respects to Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou wasn't in a hurry to get people up. He held a cup of tea in his hand and leisurely drank it.

Imperial Consort Shan's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Shi Qingzhou ignored the cold sweat on Imperial Consort Shan's face. In fact, his gaze seemed to be focused on the teacup in his hand.

After a long while, when Imperial Consort Shan was almost unable to kneel down, Shi Qingzhou finally opened his mouth.

"Get up, Imperial Consort Shan."

Imperial Consort Shan staggered when she stood up.

Shi Qingzhou saw the reaction of Imperial Consort Shan and helped her up.

Shi Qingzhou said again, "Take a seat."

"Thank you, empress." Imperial Consort Shan immediately said.

Shi Qingzhou watched as Imperial Consort Shan sat down on a chair with the support of a servant.

Then, Shi Qingzhou said lightly. From what the servant said, Imperial Consort Shan came here because of concubine? "I wonder what is Imperial Consort Shan doing for concubine."

Imperial Consort Shan immediately lowered her eyebrows and replied, "Reporting to the empress, concubine has been ill for more than half a month. When chenqie went to visit the day before yesterday, she seemed to be on her last breath. However, he couldn't call any of imperial physician! When chenqie saw that she was truly unwilling, she came here to seek a favor from the Emperor. "

"Hmm?" Shi Qingzhou's eyes immediately turned cold when he heard that. concubine was so ill that she couldn't even summon imperial physician? Is this for real? "

"Absolutely." Imperial Consort Shan immediately said.

Shi Qingzhou said lightly, "Liu Tie already knows about this matter. If what Imperial Consort Shan said is true, Liu Tie will definitely teach these people from the Wu Steel Academy a lesson!"

Imperial Consort Shan immediately said, "Thank you, Empress."

"Alright. "Imperial Consort Shan, you go back first."

Imperial Consort Shan didn't linger any further and directly left on her knees.

Shi Qingzhou's eyes darkened after seeing the other party leave. He called shadow guard to ask the other party to investigate this matter.

Recently, Long Xiaoyuan and he had a lot of things on their hands, but he had neglected the harem. Although concubine's residence was remote, it was still a harem and he didn't even know about the other party's serious illness.

From Imperial Consort Shan's words, it seemed that she had been suffering from severe illness for over half a month. This was not short!

The reason why shadow guard was recruited was to investigate the situation and not the eunuchs below. It was because shadow guard was the fastest person to find out what was going on in the dark …

Not long later, Long Xiaoyuan came out of the study. He left? What is it for? "

Shi Qingzhou saw Long Xiaoyuan come out and immediately said, "concubine has been very ill in the palace for more than half a month, but she couldn't summon imperial physician … Of course, this is Imperial Consort Shan's excuse. Whether or not it is true, it still needs to be investigated. "

"concubine has been seriously ill for half a month?" Long Xiaoyuan was also surprised when he heard that. "You really need to investigate carefully. However, concubine isn't a Consort, so why can't you summon imperial physician and pass him down to her?"

"For the time being." Shi Qingzhou said.

"Call Zhang Yuan and ask him." Long Xiaoyuan said.

Shi Qingzhou nodded. Although he had called shadow guard to go investigate, he might be able to get some information faster if he called Zhang Yuan over.

Zhang Yuan had a job at the palace today, so he came quickly.

After greeting them, Long Xiaoyuan directly asked, "Zhang Yuan, I'm asking you, has concubine sent anyone to the Wu steel courtyard recently to treat the patients?"

"concubine?" "This …" Zhang Yuan froze upon hearing this. None... "At least, this subject does not know that I have to visit imperial physician Yuan for a sniff of the others."

Long Xiaoyuan slightly pursed his lips, "Oh? "So you don't know?"

"Yes, this subject doesn't know."

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou looked at each other. Shi Qingzhou said, "Has there been anything abnormal with the Liu Steel Academy recently?"

Zhang Yuan thought about it and shook his head. This subject did not notice anything amiss. "

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou.

Doubt flashed across Shi Qingzhou's eyes. A moment later, Long Xiaoyuan said lightly, "Alright, Imperial Physician Zhang, you may leave."

"Yes, this humble official will take his leave."

After Zhang Yuan left, Long Xiaoyuan stood up from his chair.

"Qingzhou, why do I feel that this is a little strange?" Long Xiaoyuan frowned in confusion.

"Yes." Wu Tie nodded. It was indeed a bit strange. Logically speaking … It couldn't be that Young Eunuch couldn't go to the Liu Steel Academy, right? However, it seems like no one has been there before. This is truly strange. "

"Unless concubine's side is under control …" However, if that's the case, how could Imperial Consort Shan enter? How could she bring out the news? "

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou and said, "Say... Is there something fishy about this? "

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "I'm sure there are. I just don't know what's going on. shadow guard will be back soon. It won't be too late to take action after knowing what's going on."

"Yes." Long Xiaoyuan nodded his head in agreement.
