In Concubine Rong's palace.
"What did you say?"
Concubine Rong, who was originally pretty, now looked very ferocious, her almond-shaped eyes full of bloodshot eyes: "Your Majesty wants to put my father under house arrest?"
"And we also sent Xiao Chen and Zhang Dongyang to investigate the matter thoroughly!"
The female officer was so frightened that she could only grit her teeth and say, "Concubine Rong, it is indeed true!"
"This is what happened this morning. Your Majesty did say so!"
Concubine Rong's vision went dark, her figure swayed, and she almost fell to the ground.
The little palace maid next to her had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly supported Concubine Rong: "Concubine Rong! Be patient and don't be impatient!"
"There must be a solution to the problem..."
Concubine Rong slowly sat on the chair and rubbed her temples, her eyes looking tired and angry.
She didn't expect that things would develop like this!
It is really ever-changing and unpredictable.
The little palace maid also said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has said before that you will not blame the uncle, but what is the situation now...why was the uncle also arrested..."
When Concubine Rong heard this, she suddenly realized something.
The emperor seemed to be conceited and conciliatory before!
It is not a sincere promise to her at all!
Anger also appeared in Concubine Rong's eyes, and she waved away the ordinary maids beside her, leaving only a few confidants.
At this moment, she yelled:
"What a great Chu Yanwu!"
"I really don't miss the relationship between you and your husband these years!"
"You believe in that eunuch so much that you even deceived me!"
The female official next to her sighed and said: "Ms. Concubine Rong, it's not that Your Majesty doesn't care about your relationship as husband and wife... It's just that now, the Zhou family may really threaten him!"
Concubine Rong can actually understand this matter.
His father and brother had too much power and energy, and in some aspects, they even had more say than Chu Yanwu, the Great Chu Emperor.
It is normal for Chu Yanwu to hold a grudge against the two of them...
But the most critical issue is that in the past, Chu Yanwu would not do anything excessive due to Zhou Taifu's energy.
And now!
Thinking of this, Concubine Rong became furious:
"Xiao Chen's castrated dog is really capable! He actually bewitched Chu Yanwu! Let Chu Yanwu attack my Zhou family!"
The extremely angry Concubine Rong couldn't even control her emotions. She raised her hand and smashed a vase to the ground.
Bang!
The exquisite pastel flower-and-bird amphora was smashed to pieces, with porcelain fragments flying everywhere.
The maids and officials present also held their breaths, wishing they could turn into wooden figures.
Concubine Rong noticed it for a long time and suddenly remembered something.
She slapped the table and raised a cold arc at the corner of her mouth:
"Since that Xiao Chen dares to go against my Zhou family!"
"Then don't blame me for attacking the person next to him..."
Concubine Rong's tone was full of viciousness, like a poisonous snake that chooses people to eat.
The scalps of the maids and officials next to her were numb.
Only one of Concubine Rong's personal female officers asked tentatively: "Concubine Rong, do you want to..."
Concubine Rong smiled coldly, her eyes full of murderous intent: "Xiao Chen was thinking about saving Concubine Shu before! I think he must be thinking about his old relationship!"
"In that case, I will take Concubine Shu's head as a sacrifice to the flag first!"
…
At the same time, Xiao Chen's house.
The autumn wind blows, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus floats in the air, and the chirping of insects and birds is endless.
Xiao Chen was sitting under the eaves, sipping tea and admiring the autumn colors in the garden. Standing behind him was Ji Hongluan in red.
It's like a beautiful picture.
At this moment, a gray homing pigeon flew from afar, crossed the tall osmanthus tree, and landed next to Xiao Chen's hand.
Xiao Chen untied the wooden barrel tied to the pigeon's leg, took out the contents and looked at it, and the corner of his mouth curled up:
"She did take action."
Ji Hongluan, who was accompanying Xiao Chen, spoke: "Then should we attack to pick up Madam?"
Xiao Chen's eyes were calm and calm: "I have sent people to wait in the palace."
"You don't have to go there."
Ji Hongluan sighed.
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly again: "Are you jealous?"
Ji Hongluan glared at Xiao Chen: "Of course, she is your real wife."
Xiao Chen laughed and pulled Ji Hongluan into his arms: "But you are also my little baby."
A quarter of an hour later, in the cold palace.
Four men in black sneaked into the cold palace.
There are no obvious signs on their bodies, but their martial arts are indeed extremely high, and each of them has an example of level six or above.
And they were the assassins sent by Concubine Rong, preparing to assassinate Concubine Shu.
But when these people pushed open the door of Leng Palace, they found that there was no one in the palace.
They searched everywhere, including a large area nearby, but did not find Concubine Shu.
The expressions of those people changed at that time.
At this moment, a "whooshing" sound of breaking wind suddenly came from behind.
The expressions of those people changed drastically. At that time, they pulled out the scimitars from their waists and struck back.
A slight collision sound was heard, and four iron balls were knocked open.
However, those four iron balls actually exploded into a puff of purple mist in an instant.
The eyes of the four sixth-grade masters changed. Although they quickly left, they also inhaled some poisonous gas.
Then, more than a dozen guards emerged from the side.
Although they are all women, they are heroic and powerful, and the worst ones have fourth-level strength.
And those sixth-grade killers inhaled the poisonous gas, and their strength dropped a lot, and they were no match for these female guards.
Within a few dozen breaths, they were all taken down.
The female guards stepped forward quickly and with a few punches, the killers were knocked unconscious to the ground.
The female guards moved quickly and brought these killers directly to Zhao Jieyu's palace.
Zhao Jieyu was already waiting, obviously expecting it.
When she saw the unconscious killers, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and her tone was full of playfulness:
"Xiao Chen is really good at predicting things!"
"Concubine Rong really wants to attack Concubine Shu!"
"But it's a pity that the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind!"
In fact, it is not difficult to see that Xiao Chen was angry with Zhao Jieyu beforehand.
After all, as the governor of Dongchang, Xiao Chen rescued Concubine Shu from the cold palace, which was already very risky.
If his men caught these killers and sent them out as evidence, it would be even more unreasonable... Therefore, Zhao Jieyu had to help.
The female official next to Zhao Jieyu smiled and asked, "My dear, what should we do now?"
Zhao Jieyu's eyes were full of smiles:
"Of course I want to send my people to see His Majesty!"
"Concubine Rong is always good at complaining. If she doesn't try the same thing today! Then my efforts will be in vain..."
After saying this, she led her people to the imperial study room, preparing to file a complaint!
