Xiao Chen's eyes showed a hint of gratitude, and he quickly said: "I thank the Queen!"
The queen snorted softly and said: "But you must not place your hopes on me. Zhou Tianfu is the prime minister of the dynasty, and it is taboo for the harem to interfere in politics. I can only take action secretly."
"There is no guarantee as to how effective it will be."
Naturally, Xiao Chen would not sneer and kept a grateful look: "It's good that the Queen is willing to help me. Even if the Queen only expresses her stance, I will be ecstatic!"
"But I also have to tell you something."
The queen's tone became much colder: "I know that you have climbed to the position of governor of Dongchang and are very capable, so His Majesty favors you. But I also want to tell you that you have to deal with Zhou's family. It’s not that simple!”
Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he asked again: "What's the explanation for this statement?"
There was a hint of mockery in the queen's eyes: "Do you think you can fool Zhou Tianfu by letting Jiang Rongfeng fake death and escape?"
"Do you think he can't think of it? Do you think he won't send someone to investigate thoroughly? Do you think he has no spies in the prison?"
Xiao Chen's heart moved slightly.
In fact, his plan is not as simple as it seems.
But as the saying goes, an arrogant army will be defeated, and a full army will suffer a loss.
It is also necessary to adjust your mentality, and you should not be too proud and complacent.
What's more, he shouldn't behave too badly in front of the queen... He has to find a key point in his arrangement to convince the queen.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen also made a big salute and said in a sincere tone:
"Xiao Chen thanked the Queen for her advice!"
"I will remember every word the Queen says, and I will never be disrespectful or careless in the future!"
Seeing this, the queen's eyes relaxed a little and nodded: "Since you have this idea, that's the best!"
"There are not a few smart people in this world...but there are even more people who are mistaken for being smart!"
By doing this, the queen was also trying to knock Xiao Chen, and she was also trying to make him understand one thing: There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
If he wants to follow him, he has to rely on his own breath.
Xiao Chen smiled and said nothing, with a calm posture.
Suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the door.
I saw a female official with a capable and neat temperament walking over quickly.
When she saw the queen, she knelt down on one knee and said:
"Queen, something bad has happened!"
Xiao Chen and the Queen were moved in their hearts.
The queen's eyes were displeased and she said, "How unbecoming is it to be in such a panic? Get up and talk. What happened?"
The female officer's tone was solemn: "Empress, just now, there was a fire in the prison!"
When the queen heard this, her eyes changed immediately.
Xiao Chen, however, looked calm and indifferent, and didn't take it seriously.
The queen's fingers tapped on the table nonchalantly, making a slight tapping sound, and her face dropped.
Xiao Chen observed the queen from the corner of his eyes, but the corners of his mouth curved.
He knew that the Queen was trying to figure out the meaning behind the fire in Tianlao!
However, this fire was caused by Dongchang.
After a while, the queen raised her face.
There was a smile on her dignified and graceful face, making her look even more luxurious and gorgeous, with a beautiful and fragrant country.
Xiao Chen's heart moved slightly when he saw it.
The queen's windy eyes swept over him and her gaze was fixed on his face: "Master Xiao, you really surprised me!"
At this juncture, it goes without saying what the fire in the prison symbolizes!
The evidence was destroyed, and Zhou Tianfu couldn't find anything even if he tried to investigate.
She did admire Xiao Chen a little and felt that this boy was really decisive and vicious.
Xiao Chen saluted with neither humility nor arrogance: "Empress, you just said that I am a smart man, and I will naturally not let you down."
The queen smiled and raised her hands to applaud, with a little sigh in her tone: "Master Xiao, I take back what I said before. You are not only a smart person, but also cautious enough!"
The subtext of the Queen's words is very clear.
Xiao Chen gained her approval.
Where is that place? It is an important place for imprisoning important criminals!
Xiao Chen chose to burn down the prison at this critical moment, which not only showed his decisiveness, but also showed his ability.
Xiao Chen smiled and said nothing, his eyes were clear, but he gave people a feeling of being unable to understand.
For some reason, the queen felt like she couldn't see through him.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment, and she forcefully drove it away.
No matter what, Xiao Chen is just a eunuch, and he is only worthy of being the knife in her hand.
After calming down, the queen continued: "So, I have made up my mind!"
"As long as you can bring down the Zhou family, as long as you can make Concubine Rong lose power, you will be my confidant, and I will never treat you badly!"
What she said has made it very clear, it is a naked attraction and a blatant temptation.
But it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Chen to refuse such solicitation and temptation.
He needs someone to cling to, and even more support.
So Xiao Chen smiled slightly and saluted: "Queen, you have already said so. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
"The Zhou family will fall, and Concubine Rong will never be a threat to you again!"
The corners of the queen's mouth were slightly raised, her elegant face remained the same, but when the two of them made eye contact, there was an unspoken meaning.
Now that an agreement has been reached.
The queen was not in the mood to let Xiao Chen stay any longer, and waved her hand: "I am exhausted, Governor Xiao, you can leave now."
Xiao Chen slowly retreated.
After going out, he set his sights on the distant sky.
That was the direction of Tianlao. Even outside Kunning Palace, he could see the billowing smoke sweeping up.
Xiao Chen was surprised in his heart, but he was also safe in his heart.
Xiang Yichun and others are very strong, and he has also made arrangements, so they are sure of success.
So he went directly to the cold palace where Concubine Shu was.
Xiao Chen knocked on the door gently and it didn't take long.
Concubine Shu came and opened the door.
Seeing it was Xiao Chen, her eyes were full of surprise: "Xiao Chen, why are you here?"
Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he gently pulled her into his arms: "You are my wife, shouldn't it be right for me to come and see you?"
Concubine Shu felt shy and said, "Let's talk about it after we go in."
Xiao Chen carried Concubine Shu into the cold palace.
Because of his management, the furnishings in the cold winter were much better than before.
At least the windows are repaired and there will be no more drafts.
In addition, all kinds of daily necessities have been purchased. They may not be as luxurious and exquisite as before, but Concubine Shu is already very satisfied.
Concubine Shu pressed her face against Xiao Chen's heart, feeling his heartbeat, and her heart felt extremely peaceful: "I'm really happy that you're here!"
Xiao Chen stroked her hair and said softly: "Don't worry, I will start to deal with your affairs when the recent events come to an end."
Concubine Shu suddenly raised her face again and asked with worry in her eyes: "By the way, Zhou Tianfu, is there anything difficult for you?"
