After the shadow guard was disheartened

Chapter 21

Chu Mingge paused.

"Then what uncle means—"

"What I said is for the sake of the great cause of Dasheng and the regent. Now the officials are in the hands of His Highness, and one day they will come to their senses, and His Highness's prestige will definitely be greatly reduced by then."

"For civil and military officials, Dasheng has always been the Shen family's world, and His Highness's surname is Chu. If you want them to willingly admit your identity, I'm afraid it will take a lot of twists and turns."

The corners of Chu Mingge's lips parted: "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, just based on a letter from my uncle, I can't be sure that it is Shen Zhuoyu who communicated with the outside of the palace."

Murong Zhao smiled and said, "That's natural. If I don't have other clues, I wouldn't dare to disturb the regent."

Chu Mingge's expression was calm, and the hands in his sleeves slowly clenched into fists.

While talking, the two had already entered the inner room, Murong Zhao took out a wooden box and handed it to the singer Chu Ming.

Chu Mingge opened the box, his eyes moved inch by inch over the objects in the box, and his eyes gradually became cold.

"Is uncle doing this to force his nephew into the path of rebellious officials and thieves?"

Murong Zhao burst into a smile, elegant eyebrows and eyes shining brightly, like pearls and jade: "Now that things are up to now, what's the difference between your Highness doing it and not doing it?"

Chu Mingge remained silent, with a terrifying murderous aura exuding from his whole body.

Murong Zhao patted him on the shoulder lightly: "You are still young, and it is reasonable to be kind and soft. There are some things you cannot do, so uncle will help you."

"Don't forget, this matter was planned by the two of us together. When it fails, no one can escape."

Murong Zhao earnestly said: "Don't lose your family's wealth and life because of the benevolence of a woman for a while, it's not worth it."

There was a naked threat in the words, Chu Mingge's muscles tensed up, and he let out a foul breath: "Okay, my nephew knows."

He grabbed the wooden box and walked away, Murong Zhao looked at his murderous back, smiled and shook his head.

A bright apricot red floated in the shadows, and a young girl came out gracefully: "Father, aren't you afraid that he will become angry from embarrassment?"

"Before a smart person becomes angry, he has to weigh his own weight. Chu Mingge is very clear about his weakness. At present, he will not, and dare not, turn against me."

Murong Xiu softly smiled and said: "Father is far-sighted, and my daughter admires it."

Having said this, Murong Xiu's face was filled with sadness.

"By the way, the daughter didn't complete what the father told her last time, which disappointed her father."

"It's okay, the hidden guard is not that important, it's fine if Chu Mingge doesn't want to give it to you, the most urgent thing is to find out the whereabouts of Shen Zhuoyu, and we can rest assured that he is in our hands."

Murong Xiu nodded: "Yes, my daughter understands."

She raised her head and glanced at Murong Zhao: "In two months, Da Zhou is coming."

Murong Zhao's expression changed, and he turned to look at Murong Xiu: "So what?"

"The Emperor of Great Zhou is Chu Mingge's biological father, and the Prince of Great Zhou is his younger brother. My daughter thinks..."

Murong Zhao: "Are you worried that Chu Mingge will hook up with Da Zhou?"

Murong Xiu hesitated and nodded.

"No, it's impossible. Chu Mingge is arrogant and obsessed with his mother's affairs. Just look at his attitude towards me these years, and you should understand that he will never bow to... him."

Murong Xiu stomped her feet: "What does the matter of your aunt have to do with you? Back then, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty had his eyes on you, and it was her own choice to marry her aunt on her behalf. Chu Mingge has no reason to blame you!"

Murong Zhao paused the hand holding the teacup, hot tea splashed out and sprinkled on the back of his hand.

"Father--"

Murong Xiu was startled, Murong Zhao's chest heaved violently, and his voice was distorted: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Murong Xiu hurriedly knelt down: "Daughter knows it's wrong, she shouldn't bring up the past to make father unhappy, but my daughter really can't understand Chu Mingge's disrespect to you, you saved his life, but now you have forced our family to have no place to stand ..."

Murong Zhao stared fixedly at Murong Xiu, the high temperature burned his fingertips through the thin cup, his hand trembled, and the tea cup fell to the ground, splitting into pieces.

Murong Xiu's eyes were full of tears: "Father, you are not in good health, so don't get angry because of your daughter's words."

Murong Zhao tried his best to calm down his chaotic mood, swallowed mouthful after mouthful of sweet fishy taste, and after a while, his face calmed down.

"Get up."

Murong Xiu stood up, seeing Murong Zhao's expression softened a bit, he boldly said: "You and that person..."

Murong Zhao waved his hands irritably: "Don't bring up the past, but you have to remember it. You must never bring up this matter in front of Chu Mingge."

Murong Xiu hurriedly said, "Daughter knows."

Murong Zhao walked into the inner room with his hands behind his back, his pale and thin back added a bit of gloom.

……

Having been tortured by Chu Mingge for a whole night last night, Yunfei slept until dawn, and when he woke up from the dream, it was already high in the sun.

He sat up straight, the pain and discomfort all over his body made his movements stagnant, he was stiff, leaning on the wall, and carefully lowered to the ground.

Leng Shuang pushed the door open and entered, and was shocked when he saw him holding himself up on the ground: "What are you doing?"

Yun Fei was forcefully stuffed back into bed by Leng Shuang and lay down, he couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Actually, I'm not that delicate..."

Leng Shuang pulled her face down when she heard this: "Who is the person who had a fever after a little rain yesterday? Look at how many pounds of flesh you have on your body? You are as thin as a bamboo pole, and you are still the lord of Jinyiying, you How can this crooked appearance convince the public!"

Yun Fei didn't dare to say any more, and shrank back under the blanket resentfully.

Lengshuang brought white porridge to his mouth: "Open your mouth."

Thinking of Chu Mingge's Yan Luowang's face, Yun Fei was shocked, and quickly reached out to take it: "I will do it myself."

Lengshuang looked at the ambiguous red marks all over his body with mixed feelings, he was not a blank slate without knowledge of human affairs, besides, the wheezing and panting last night were really heard in his ears.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Yunfei lowered her eyes, stirring the porridge.

The most messy side, he actually didn't want others, especially Leng Shuang, to see it.

Leng Shuang sighed: "What are you... planning to do in the future?"

Yun Fei wondered: "What plan?"

Leng Shuang gritted her teeth: "Your Highness, Your Highness is even colder. He likes you now, but he may like you in the future. Raising his eyebrows is the best example."

Yun Fei said softly: "Your Highness is our master. I have to do whatever he wants me to do. If he wants me to serve the bed, I will obey unconditionally. If he doesn't want it, I can't disobey it."

Leng Shuang blurted out: "Then you are just letting people play for nothing?!"

As soon as the voice fell, the two of them fell into silence in unison.
