After three rounds of drinking, someone suggested that Zhao An tell another story about the lost history.
At this moment, the ship's hull suddenly shook violently, and Zhao An almost hit his head on the table.
"What happened?"
Everyone exclaimed and heard shouting, "There seems to be something in the lake."
The water in the nearby lake was churning like a boiling pot, and the rapids were shaking the hull, causing the whole ship to sway.
Zhao An held the side of the boat and took a closer look. This was not like a movement that a fish could make. Besides, such a big movement must at least be a whale, right? , so there is a high probability that there was a collapse under the lake, forming a huge vortex.
"Quickly row to the shore!"
There was some confusion on the boat, but soon the boat left the restless current and rowed towards the shore.
The Jinghu Lake in the capital covers a large area. The boats of the ordinary Jiaofangsi and the flower boats of ladies and gentlemen like to wander on the lake. Nothing has happened. What happened tonight?
"Is it a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss?"
Someone murmured something in a low voice, and suddenly the air on the ship fell into dead silence.
Zhao An's pupils suddenly shrank, thinking of the charges the late emperor had given to the champion Hou An.
Qian Long came out of the abyss. He had a disobedient heart. In order to prevent the rebels from harming the country, he ordered the King of Chu to send a large army to eliminate them.
Zhao An looked at the other people present from the corner of his eyes. Sure enough, everyone seemed to have thought about it together, but no one dared to mention such a taboo topic.
"Report to the prince! King Chu has returned to Beijing——"
As soon as the flower boat docked, a piece of bombshell news was received.
Not to mention a bunch of talented men and beauties, Prince Ning's expression also completely changed.
Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at the churning vortex of the lake.
The hidden dragon emerges from the abyss, the King of Chu...
Is there really reincarnation in this world?
The King of Chu used the name of Qian Long Chu Yuan to exterminate the Champion Hou family. Now that he has returned to Beijing, a strange phenomenon appears in Jinghu Lake that is suspected of Qian Long Chu Yuan?
Prince Ning frowned and walked away in a hurry.
The other distinguished disciples also had a premonition that something big was going to happen, so they all left in droves. In the end, only Zhao An and others were left on the ship.
Luo Xiaoxiao came to Zhao An, looked at the churning lake, and joked: "Sir, do you think there are really dragons in this world?"
Zhao An was in a very complicated mood at the moment. He shook his head and said, "Probably not."
"Since there is no such thing, then why did you make up that outrageous thing?" Luo Xiaoxiao's eyes were very serious.
Zhao An was asked.
If it weren't for these gimmicks, how could there be an unjust, false or wrongful conviction?
However, what happened tonight was too strange, as if it was hinting at something...
It's getting late.
When leaving, Qian Yuwei turned around frequently, as if she had something to say.
Zhao An was in no mood to care about her and returned to Tianshui Courtyard irritably.
As soon as he entered the house, he received an imperial decree. The empress gave him the Chen family's mansion, which was later renamed Zhao's mansion, and ordered him to return to the palace immediately.
Zhao An received the imperial edict and was shocked to death.
Is the Empress afraid that he is not ostentatious enough?
Xu Ruqing and Monk Zhang Er were confused. Logically speaking, even if this was to be done, it should be given privately rather than in such a big way.
Now that Zhao An has been favored by the emperor and has become the factory supervisor of a black factory, he is unparalleled in the limelight and gradually begins to be feared by others.
Prince Ning invited him to play tonight, and his words had the intention of wooing him. It was because of this divine favor.
But the empress gave the old Duke's mansion to a new eunuch, and there will definitely be trouble in the court tomorrow.
Jiuyin said: "I just sent someone to see it. The plaque on the Duke's Mansion was changed to Zhao, and it was guarded by the imperial guards. The female family members are all under guard, waiting for you to receive them."
"Yin'er, do you think His Majesty is going to burn the bridge across the river and kill me?"
Zhao An used a silver needle to stir the wick and asked dully.
Jiuyin stood by the wall holding a long sword and said calmly: "Since ancient times, cunning rabbits have died and been cooked by lackeys. This is true for champions, and so is you."
"Do you still know about Champion Hou?" Zhao An asked in surprise, grasping the key point.
Jiuyin said calmly: "These are no secrets. Champion Hou resigned and returned to Donghai County just to gain peace for half his life. Unfortunately, the emperor refused and killed him anyway. Your current situation is very similar to Champion Hou. Your fake identity is The people are highly respected and are about to become the new saints, and you keep telling the emperor to curb the factions, but you are one of the big factions yourself.”
Jiuyin's words were heartbreaking, and Zhao An felt a little dazed, holding his chin in a daze.
He didn't believe that the empress was so heartless, and he had already told her that she could drop everything and leave the capital in the future. If she was worried about it, she didn't have to. There was no need to be so rigid.
Jiuyin said: "Is it possible that she is not stable and still needs your help?"
"Stop talking and go back to the palace."
Zhao An got on the carriage irritably.
Seeing this, Jiuyin sighed, shook his head and left the room.
The harem is brightly lit.
Ningkun Palace.
Chen Yuru walked around stroking her belly, and then asked Chang Ming beside her, "You said that Chu Wangkui suddenly returned to Beijing?"
"Yes, the King of Chu has 200,000 troops in the north. The late emperor ordered him not to return to the court, but today he violated the late emperor's order and suddenly went south to return to the capital..."
Chang Ming didn't understand what the princes were thinking, but Chen Yuru sensed the danger.
She felt that King Chu was coming back to snatch the throne from the child in her belly.
Fortunately, she didn't hear that King Chu led his troops back to the court. After thinking about it, she went to the Yangxin Hall with a full belly.
The empress was anxiously waiting for Zhao An to come back. When she saw Chen Yuru, her eyes suddenly lit up with a cold light, and she said indifferently: "The empress is still not sleeping at this late hour?"
"Your Majesty, I have cooked a bowl of ginseng soup for you. You must take good care of the dragon body."
Chen Yuru came prepared and asked He Ye to open the food box and take out a bowl of hot soup.
The empress had no intention of drinking and continued walking around with her hands behind her back.
Chen Yuru coughed and asked, "I heard that King Chu has returned to Beijing? It's so late, is His Majesty waiting for him?"
"The queen is very well-informed. King Chu has just returned to Beijing. I asked him to have a good rest and we will see him tomorrow. By the way, I haven't seen the emperor's uncle for a long time, and I don't know how he has been doing these years."
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that the late emperor did not allow him to return to the capital?"
"Maybe there is something urgent."
The empress glanced indifferently, and Chen Yuru shrank her neck, angrily not daring to ask any more questions. Seeing that the emperor did not take the initiative to talk to him and was looking for trouble, she turned around and went out.
When she left the palace with her front legs, she bumped into Zhao An who was hurried back with her back legs. She almost sat down on the ground with a whooping sound.
Zhao An, with quick eyes and quick hands, hugged her waist and looked at each other. Zhao An said jokingly: "Hey, why are you so busy?"
"Slave, you are so bold, you still don't let me go!"
Chen Yuru raised her brows and stared at the big paw holding her. Zhao An grinned with white teeth. The moment he retracted his hand, he took a big handful on her butt!
Chen Yuru suddenly shivered, and this scene was seen by the empress.
Looking at Zhao An's unscrupulous smile, he was suddenly filled with jealousy. He wanted to go over and kick him, and said angrily: "Get over here!"
