Although Shi Qingzhou promised that he wouldn't be too tired, he didn't go back to his room that night.

Long Xiaoyuan waited in the dragon bed for an entire night and finally could only sigh.

That night, Long Xiaoyuan naturally didn't sleep well either.

The next morning, Long Xiaoyuan woke up early.

It wasn't the time for the court to rise yet, so Long Xiaoyuan walked to the outer hall.

The eunuch who was waiting outside, palace maid, jumped in fright and hurried to greet him.

Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand and dismissed the rest of them. He then called over one of Shi Qingzhou's trusted aides, Young Eunuch.

Young Eunuch quickly followed behind her. "Your majesty."

Long Xiaoyuan said faintly, "The Queen is still in the secret chamber?"

"Yes." Young Eunuch immediately replied.

Long Xiaoyuan frowned and was speechless for a long time.

Young Eunuch knelt in silence. After a long while, Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand. "Alright, you can go now."

Young Eunuch hesitated for a moment and then retreated.

After Young Eunuch left, Long Xiaoyuan looked at the sky outside and let out a long sigh.

It was almost time for the morning assembly. Long Xiaoyuan slowly walked out of the Kunning Palace...

At this moment, in the underground chamber.

Shi Qingzhou drank the tea in his hand slowly.

There was a person hanging in front of him. It was Fang Hui without a doubt.

However, the other side wasn't in a good state.

There was a scar on his body, like a whip wound, but it also seemed like something else.

In addition to that, the most important thing was that, compared to the resolute gaze he had at the Kunning Palace when he had just arrived in the Imperial Palace, the current him had a little dejected and dejected look in his eyes, as well as an indescribable sense of loss.

It could be seen that during this night, the damage he suffered was not small.

"What time is it?" Shi Qingzhou said plainly.

A shadow guard immediately answered, "Reporting to the queen, it's time for the morning assembly."

"Oh …" Shi Qingzhou nodded and glanced at Fang Hui indifferently. Have you decided what to say? "

Fang Hui's eyes were a little unfocused. He looked at Shi Qingzhou with an unspeakable sense of fear.

Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly. Or didn't want to? It's alright, I have plenty of time to accompany you here. "

Demon... All of a sudden, Fang Hui only had this feeling in his heart.

At this moment, Shi Qingzhou stood up happily and flicked away the non-existent dust on his body, "Let me go eat breakfast first before coming to find you."

"Fang Hui's lips trembled and he finally said one word." "Yes," I said.

Long Xiaoyuan wasn't in a good mood last year, so he didn't mind showing off directly.

The court officials and officials all knew that an assassin broke into the palace during the day. It was said that he was related to Young Master Xu, who was brought in by the Emperor.

Therefore, all the officials were trembling with fear.

There were no important matters, so the officials did not mention it.

Therefore, the time spent in the morning assembly was much shorter than it had ever been.

After the assembly, Long Xiaoyuan couldn't help but think that maybe, he should pretend that he wasn't in a good mood every day, so that those people wouldn't squabble non-stop and disturb him with trivial matters.

Thinking about this, Long Xiaoyuan headed towards the Kunning Palace.

When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Long Xiaoyuan saw Shi Qingzhou drinking tea.

Suddenly, Long Xiaoyuan quickened his pace and quickly walked up to the opposite party, hugging him tightly in his arms.

Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly. "What's wrong?"

Long Xiaoyuan stared at him, " Why are you still asking? You didn't come back last night! "

Shi Qingzhou blinked his eyes. You know where I am. "

"I also know that someone said he won't be too tired!"

Shi Qingzhou: "Mmm …" He didn't say it to show that he wasn't doing it on purpose.

Long Xiaoyuan kissed Shi Qingzhou on the cheek, "I love you."

Shi Qingzhou's heart softened as he closed his eyes. "I know, I was planning to rest after breakfast."

"Yes, hurry up and rest." Long Xiaoyuan touched Shi Qingzhou's eyes.

Shi Qingzhou smiled.

Long Xiaoyuan immediately ordered some people to pass the food to him.

Very quickly, the breakfast arrived. Long Xiaoyuan said, "We're going to have a rest soon. It's not good if we eat too much."

"Yeah, I know." Shi Qingzhou nodded, looking extremely gentle.

Shi Qingzhou drank a bowl of porridge and ate a scallion cake. The scallion cake made by the imperial chef tasted very good. Not greasy at all, this was Shi Qingzhou's favorite breakfast.

Long Xiaoyuan, on the other hand, liked the egg cake.

After Shi Qingzhou finished eating, Long Xiaoyuan walked in a circle around Shi Qingzhou's bedroom before letting him go to bed.

Shi Qingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to say that it was enough to execute a set of punches, but Long Xiaoyuan obviously didn't expect that.

Forget it, let's just take a walk.

Only after Shi Qingzhou laid on the bed did Long Xiaoyuan leave.

Shi Qingzhou slept very well and didn't wake up until lunch time.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyuan had already dealt with all the memorials.

right phase and Xu Yang had already gone to Quanzhou, shadow guard would send a report over to them every day.

Right now, those people were still on their way, and the report they received was only a trip. Nothing important.

He would probably be in Quanzhou for another three days.

When Shi Qingzhou woke up, Long Xiaoyuan walked in and saw the other wake up. His eyes lit up. You're awake? "

"Yes." Shi Qingzhou nodded and yawned. "What time is it now?"

"Good for lunch." Long Xiaoyuan smiled.

"Hmm?" Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. " Is it time for lunch? "I've slept for so long …"

"It hasn't even been six hours." Long Xiaoyuan twitched his mouth.

Shi Qingzhou laughed. "Actually, I've already slept for a long time. That's enough."

Long Xiaoyuan pulled him up, "Is that enough?" "Then, he took a careful look." Fortunately, there are no dark circles under your eyes. "

Shi Qingzhou laughed. "Hmm …" "No."

Long Xiaoyuan personally served Shi Qingzhou while he was changing clothes. Although Shi Qingzhou felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't say anything.

Long Xiaoyuan finished dressing Shi Qingzhou and looked at his "workmanship" with satisfaction.

"Hm!" That's right! "That's right!"

Shi Qingzhou said with a faint smile. I never thought that the Emperor would have another hand in being Attendant. Looks like there's no need to worry about it in the future. "

Long Xiaoyuan blinked his eyes. What Qingzhou meant was that even if I don't become the emperor, I would still be able to have a set of culinary arts, right? Enough to support both of us? "

"Yes." Shi Qingzhou nodded calmly.

"Mm, this is good as well …" Long Xiaoyuan rubbed his chin. "The heavens and earth are as free as they please. This feeling should be pretty good …"

Shi Qingzhou was too lazy to argue with him. He said seriously, "Fang Hui has already asked. Have you seen it?"

During the interrogation, dark guard naturally recorded everything that the person said.

Those things should have been handed over to Long Xiaoyuan by now.

Long Xiaoyuan nodded, "I saw it already. The internal affairs of Heaven Concealment Castle is very complicated."

According to Fang Hui, five years ago, under the rule of Castle Owner of Heaven Concealment Castle, there was a business selling horses.

However, the people doing business with the Heaven Concealment Castle were extremely mysterious.

he would come to Heaven Concealment Castle three times a year.

However, no one else besides Castle Owner had ever seen him.

In addition, Castle Owner and his wife, for some reason, used to have intimate relationships before, but gradually, they would occasionally quarrel in the study room.

Castle Owner, on the other hand, would often stay in the study room instead of staying in his grandpa's room.

Afterwards, the young master of the castle fell in love with a man. The old master and his wife objected at the same time, which actually made the relationship between Castle Owner and his wife feel better. However, it was only a few.

Castle Owner and his wife wanted their young master to marry his wife's elder brother's daughter, his wife's niece.

But the Madam didn't know that her brother was working with Castle Owner to sell horses!

Fang Hui also said that he was actually here on Castle Owner's orders.

The young master had been locked up by Castle Owner in secret, but the Madam didn't know.

The Madam thought that the Young Master went missing when he was facing a strong enemy, but she didn't know that the Young Master went missing because of Master.

The reason Castle Owner sent him was because he wanted to lure Xu You back.

Castle Owner already knew that Xu You was in the palace. Although Xu You did not know about the Heaven Concealment Castle, but after all, Xu You came from there.

Fang Qiuhua was afraid that Xu You would attract the attention of the imperial court to Heaven Concealment Castle, so he wanted to use Fang Shuoyang's relationship to lure him back.

If necessary, he could kill them. This was Castle Owner's order.

As for the inside information about the other Heaven Concealment Castle, Fang Hui knew a little, but not about the rest.

Most importantly, he only knew that Castle Owner and Madam's elder brother, Zhou Hengliang, were involved together.

But regarding this point, the people of the estate all hid it very well.

"It is indeed very complicated." Shi Qingzhou nodded. What do you think? "

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. I don't know what to say for now, but let's talk about it after we've eaten. "Don't worry."

Shi Qingzhou was speechless. "Alright, let's eat first."

Long Xiaoyuan held his hand and walked towards the dining table.

Shi Qingzhou wasn't really hungry when he woke up, but since Long Xiaoyuan was hungry, Shi Qingzhou accompanied him for a meal.

When he was halfway done, Xu You ran over and added another pair of chopsticks.

"Big brother." Xu You asked while eating, "Did Fang Hui ask about anything?"

"Yes, I'll tell you later." Long Xiaoyuan didn't want to hide it from him.

When Xu You heard this, he quickly ate, as if there was someone that would fight with him for the food.

Shi Qingzhou couldn't help but say, "Take your time to eat, no need to rush."

How could he not be anxious, what he cared about the most now was the matters of the Heaven Concealment Castle!

Wu Tie continued to eat in silence, while Long Xiaoyuan's mouth twitched. However, he was too lazy to bother with the other party.

After a meal, Xu You was like the wind sweeping the clouds, while Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were slow and unhurried.

After eating, Xu You looked at Long Xiaoyuan eagerly.

Long Xiaoyuan twitched his lips and told the other party about the situation in Heaven Concealment Castle.

Xu You's expression was dark. Horses … It started five years ago? I stayed in the Heaven Concealment Castle for more than five years, why haven't I seen so many horses there? " Most importantly, he did not know anything!

"I already let you know, that person is not a Heaven Concealment Castle."

"Xu You was a little sad." I always thought Old Castle Owner was a nice guy, but I didn't expect him to want my life. "

"Long Xiaoyuan shot a sympathetic glance at the other party." And Fang Shuoyang was also locked up by him. "

Xu You clenched his fist. to save him. "

"That's for sure. Even if you didn't say anything now, I would have done the same thing." Long Xiaoyuan said.

Now that the Heaven Concealment Castle was involved in the rebellion, the imperial government naturally had to take care of it!

"Really?" Xu You's eyes lit up and he relaxed a bit.

"Yes." Wu Tie nodded. "Mhmm …" Then, he looked at Shi Qingzhou.

"Qingzhou, looks like we need to send someone to Heaven Concealment Castle's side."

"Yes." Shi Qingzhou nodded. Who should I send? "

Long Xiaoyuan blinked his eyes and smiled. "Does the light boat want to go?"

Shi Qingzhou also blinked his eyes and looked at Long Xiaoyuan hesitantly.

Long Xiaoyuan laughed. This is different from going to war, you can rest assured, Qingzhou. Furthermore, I feel that with the light boat, I can be more at ease over there. "

Shi Qingzhou was silent for a moment.

Long Xiaoyuan held the other person's hand. "You and Xu You can go together, only you can cure him. If he disobeys you, just teach him a lesson."

Xu You was speechless. Brother, I am not that stupid, and I have always been very obedient! "

Long Xiaoyuan acted like he didn't hear anything.

Xu You was even more speechless now.

"After the decision was made, Xu You left and Shi Qingzhou asked Long Xiaoyuan. It's not necessary for me to go. What are you thinking? "

Long Xiaoyuan grinned, " The light boat will go first and wait for me there. "

Shi Qingzhou was surprised for a moment and said in disbelief, "You want to go too?"

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. Not now. "

Shi Qingzhou was confused. "What do you mean?"

"Qingzhou, how many officials do you think have been bribed?"

Shi Qingzhou paused for a moment and said conservatively, "There will be a few, but not many."

"Yeah." Long Xiaoyuan smiled. Not much. "So, what do you think those people would do if we were all gone?"

Shi Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said, "We won't be able to control the situation."

Long Xiaoyuan sighed. "Yeah, but isn't there a saying that wealth comes from danger?"

Shi Qingzhou shook his head. "It's too risky."

Long Xiaoyuan chuckled. There's a way to be a little safer. "

"Hmm?" Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan.

"Tell your father to come back."

Shi Qingzhou was slightly shocked when he heard this. Then, he muttered to himself. This plan is feasible. "

Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows. Really? I thought you were going to object directly. "

Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly. Although the envoys of the Northern Kingdom have been killed at our place, they have not said anything and have already sent their envoys over. Right now, they are already on their way, which means that the Northern Kingdom no longer need to worry about them. However, we need to create the illusion that my father is still at the border and tell him of our plan to bring him back! "

If Long Xiaoyuan's plan was just the beginning, then Shi Qingzhou had already planned everything out.

He really was a virtuous internal helper! Long Xiaoyuan laughed.

"Yes, the light boat's plan is very good. We will do just that." On Heaven Concealment Castle's side, you guys wait for your father to leave from the border trial first. "

"Alright." Shi Qingzhou nodded. If that's the case, when my father comes to the Imperial City, we should have already gone to the Heaven Concealment Castle.

"That's right." Long Xiaoyuan said. He could find out as much as he could. It had already been five years, so it was impossible for him to find no clues at all. He had never thought of this before, as he could not find anything now. If we do it, there will always be traces. "

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "I'll have someone chase them down."

"Sure, I won't worry about what you do." Long Xiaoyuan laughed.

After eight hundred miles, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou sent shadow guard to the border.

Four days later, Shi Qingshan arranged all the matters at the border. After giving some instructions to the two trusted generals, he rushed back with three hundred elite soldiers in the middle of the night.

On the second day, there were fifty thousand soldiers and horses at the border. They were divided into four groups and secretly moved towards the direction of the Central Imperial City.

Everything went on in silence.

On the day that Shi Qingshan returned overnight, Shi Qingzhou and Xu You left the palace with thirty shadow guard.

Long Xiaoyuan still went to Kunning Palace every day after he left for court, and he also stayed there every day.

It was just that Shi Qingzhou did not show himself. However, other than palace maid who was in Kunning Palace Palace, no one else in the palace knew that Shi Qingzhou was no longer in the palace.

In these three days, there were some movements within the Kunning Palace.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou exchanged for the three palace maid of Kunning Palace Palace. There were two palace maid and a eunuch.

The three of them had been transferred to other places, and there were also people monitoring them.

After Shi Qingzhou and Xu You left, Long Xiaoyuan waited until the night of the fourth day for Shi Qingshan, who had secretly entered the palace.

The two of them chatted in Kunning Palace's dorm room for an entire night.

One night later, the next day, the emperor Long Xiaoyuan was assassinated in the palace!

And the person who tried to assassinate him was actually the assassin who appeared in broad daylight, the day he was caught!

This fact shocked everyone in the imperial court!

Furthermore, Long Xiaoyuan was injured! His arm was injured! Fortunately, dark guard had helped to block the attack at the last moment. Otherwise, the injury would have been even more severe!

Although Long Xiaoyuan had been wounded in the arm and executed the assassin, his temper became very strange. Not only was it weird, it was also very irritable!

Since he was injured, Long Xiaoyuan could not go to court anymore. He got his officials to write down everything he needed to do on the imperial reports.

After that, the emperor would look at the paper, but his arm was injured and Young Eunuch was the one reading the paper. Because his arm was injured!

Two of his officials had come to look for Long Xiaoyuan, but Long Xiaoyuan's expression didn't look good. One of the ministers had said something wrong and ended up getting beaten up!

In the end, the minister was carried back.

imperial physician and Zhang Yuan said that the injury on his arm was very serious.

Ever since that day when the official was beaten, the officials had avoided Long Xiaoyuan … No one wanted their buttocks to blossom for no reason, right?

Late one night, Long Xiaoyuan left the palace under the lead of shadow guard... He went after his wife!

In the palace, Shi Qingshan stayed in the Kunning Palace. Beside him was some of the shadow guard that Long Xiaoyuan had left behind.

Other than being in charge of the government, Shi Qingshan also secretly kept in close contact with the army that came from the border.

Since the net had been opened, this time, no matter how many Ox-Head and Horse-Face he had, he had to get them all in one fell swoop!

A sharp look flashed across Shi Qingshan's eyes. Then, he sat behind the table in the study room and started to deal with the matters of the imperial government in an orderly manner …

shadow guard stood guard on the rooftop, taking in the entirety of the land around Kunning Palace, and carried out his duties.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyuan … Unable to bear the pain, he decided to rest first.
