The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade

In Chen Guogong's mansion, Chen Zhuoxin sat in the study indifferently.

After the servant who reported the matter finished speaking, he quickly and quietly retreated.

The entire Chen Guogong's mansion was very dull, but the Duke's study room was like an ice cellar.

Outside the study, the servants were waiting at a distance, not daring to get close or far away.

Before, it was because people were not allowed to approach many places. As a result, it was not until the ground collapsed that we found out that someone had dug a tunnel underneath!
And this tunnel was actually dug from outside the house.

However, because the people who dug the tunnel didn't know much about the situation in Chen Guogong's mansion, they might have dug in the wrong direction.

Because the collapsed area was originally a well. Later, it was said that the well was short of water all year round, so it was filled with soil and abandoned.

Perhaps because of this, the soil here is loose, and for some reason, the people who dug the tunnel did not continue digging after digging here.

Then, after many days of heavy rain, there was a collapse!
There is a forest there, and the Duke does not allow people to go there on weekdays.

If people often pass by, abnormalities may be detected early.

Yin Hong stayed by Chen Zhuoxin's side every step of the way.

This was the first time I sent people out to contact Concubine Jiao Xian and that "nobleman" with no results.

Chen Zhuo and Xin Zexin had actually guessed that he might never be able to contact the two of them again.

But Chen Zhuoxin still had a little bit of hope and a little bit of luck in his heart. Looking forward to all this, it is just a temporary accident, after a while. Just like more than ten years ago, the cooperation is harmonious.

Concubine Jiao Xian's side was fine, even if Concubine Jiao Xian was deposed and there were thirteen princes and Shilang Jiao's family, she would definitely not dare to tell anyone about the conspiracy with her.

It would be troublesome to find help from the palace again, but it would not be extremely difficult.

Chen Zhuoxin remembered that when he cooperated with that "noble person" in the early days, there was one time when the "noble person" did not contact him for about a year.

But at that time, Chen Zhuoxin didn't know why, and he wasn't worried at all. He always seemed to be very confident and very sure in his heart, knowing that the noble man was just letting him do it, to complete what they had discussed. The important thing is not to leave things alone.

Because, many times, Chen Zhuoxin made mistakes when doing something, and it was the "noble man" who dealt with the consequences for Chen Zhuoxin.

But this time, Chen Zhuoxin was really panicked. He felt that the "noble man" had completely abandoned him.

Yin Hong was very worried when he saw Chen Zhuoxin looking a little lost. Is this the same Duke of Guo who was strategizing and strategizing, even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, without changing his expression?
He wanted to persuade, but he couldn't.

Yin Hong thought for a while and said hesitantly,

"Master Guo, let's make plans early. I sent someone to inquire, but they just said that the Concubine Xian was seriously ill and would not be cured for a long time. Then the Holy Emperor issued an order for the Concubine to leave the palace to rest."

Chen Zhuoxin frowned slightly, his eyes dark and unclear.

Previously, Concubine Jiao Xian was "sick" every day, so this time, when it was first reported that Concubine Jiao Xian was "sick", he didn't pay attention.

Chen Zhuoxin felt that it seemed that a long time ago, there was a net spread out against him and Concubine Jiao Xian, but unfortunately he was not aware of it.

It’s because I’ve had everything going smoothly for so many years, I’m too careless!

Seeing Chen Zhuoxin's expressionless expression, Yin Hong said again,
"My subordinates sent several groups of people to inquire, but after a lot of effort, they were unable to find out exactly when Concubine Xian's Luan Jia set off from Fuyuan Palace, and even less sure where he went. But now The Thirteenth Prince is no longer in Fuyuan Palace. There is only one Yan Chongrong who is temporarily living there. I heard that she is the emperor’s newly consecrated concubine. In total, she is a girl from the father-in-law’s family of the Prince of Jiangxia County.”

Chen Zhuoxin nodded to express his understanding. He knew in his heart that this "Yan Chongrong" was the emperor's "eyesore".

It's a pity that I didn't see it clearly at that time, and still tried my best to support Concubine Jiao Xian in suppressing "Yan Chongrong"!
As a result, not long after, "Yan Chongrong" was unscathed, and Concubine Jiao Xian returned home defeated.

But here, I am facing another big problem.

The emperor wanted to send someone to help "repair" the Duke's mansion. It was obvious that he was suspicious of himself.

If he hadn't still got what the emperor needed, I'm afraid that at this moment, Chen Guogong's mansion would have been turned upside down, and the chickens and dogs would be restless!

Back then, as a concubine, I cautiously suppressed my ambitions and kept myself humble in front of my father, my aunt, and my aunt's brother every day.

I originally thought that this would be it for the rest of my life. From now on, I would get a small official position based on the name of the second son of the Duke's Mansion. If I was lucky, I would be promoted step by step and one day I would be able to be successful.

However, no matter how lucky he is, Chen Zhuoxin knows that with his ability, unless it is the kind of credit that turns the tide, otherwise, he will not be able to reach the height of the Duke of the Kingdom in this life!
Let alone the Duke, it is almost impossible to reach the fourth rank and reach the status of being able to go to court.

But, suddenly, one day, this opportunity came!

Could it be that he, Chen Zhuoxin, could not be caught?
What's more, Chen Zhuoxin has always firmly believed in his heart that he is no worse than his eldest brother. Just because of his status as a concubine, just because his mother is different, he has to cut off his talents and ambitions!

Therefore, Chen Zhuoxin agreed to the "noble man".

Then, he learned that the "noble man" helped Concubine Jiao Xian enter the palace again.

With these words, the two people echoed internally and externally, supported each other, and climbed to the pinnacle of power step by step!

But, suddenly, everything was like the sand in the hand, pulling away bit by bit!
When did it start?
By the way, it's time to confront the Ji sisters overtly and covertly!
He underestimated the enemy!
Because, Chen Zhuoxin did not expect that the Ji sisters would delay the poison like "Pu Lian" bit by bit to the point where they were no longer threatened by it.

Not only that, the blood Chen Zhuoxin used to nourish "Pu Lian" actually brought backlash to himself.

Then, it wasn't until something happened to the emperor's body that Chen Zhuoxin felt that something was wrong!

After leaving the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, although Chen Zhuoxin's mood did not go from the peak to the bottom all at once, it was like a high-rise building reaching the bottom. The mentality that was used to being praised could not accept the sudden neglect of the family.

Chen Zhuoxin stayed in the house all day long, maybe this was so that he had time to think about the whole situation.

At this moment, someone outside the door reported,
"Lord Qiqing County, please see me!"

Although the Lord of Qiqing County was married to Chen Zhuoxin, Chen Zhuoxin ordered the whole government to still call him "the Lord of the County."

When Yin Hong heard this, there was undisguised surprise on his face.

The Lord of Qiqing County rarely asked to see the Duke, let alone set foot in the study room where the Duke discussed matters!

A bitter smile appeared on Chen Zhuoxin's lips, but his eyes softened obviously. He waved his hand and Yin Hong took the order and retreated.

The study door was opened, and Yin Hong hurriedly lowered his head and stood on one side of the door, waiting for the Lord Qiqing to come in.

Qiqing County Lord is wearing a green dress, her face is as pearly as jade, her eyebrows are as picturesque, her eyes are as bright as the stars and the bright moon, and her beaded green steps are swaying gently with people, making Qiqing County Lord as straight as the ancients said "The essence flows in the sky, and the jade face is smooth and smooth."

Yin Hong didn't dare to raise his head, but the moment Lord Qiqing passed by him, Yin Hong only saw the hem of his skirt fluttering slightly, his pendants humming softly, and he suddenly felt that the flowers were pale.

Yin Hong sighed inwardly, no wonder the Duke of Guo did not hesitate to put himself in danger for the sake of the Lord Qiqing...
