Quick, I don't want to be in love anymore

Chapter 266: Love in the Sadistic Story (13)

"It's good as long as the emperor has a plan in mind."

The Queen Mother patted his hand gently as she did when they were little.

After giving the instructions, Zhou Chengyun turned around and walked towards the Queen's Palace.

"emperor."

Yan Qingxin had received the news early and had sent the palace maids away in advance. When she saw Zhou Chengyun, she hurried to greet him.

"Qingqing, I'll let my mother take care of you this time. I've also assigned secret guards to you and our child."

"Well, Yunlang, you have to be careful too."

Yan Qingxin looked up at him, her eyes full of dependence.

"Don't worry, Concubine De will be unable to sit still this time. I wonder if she can find out who is behind this. I'm sorry for wronging you over the years."

"As long as Yunlang and our child are safe and sound, I'm happy with it."

On the seventh day of the seventh month, unlike the usual decorations and lights, the capital city was silent.

Everyone in the village outside the city chose to gather together without any prior arrangement. They waited for a long time, and the cool breeze made everyone drowsy.

In the middle of the night, the earth seemed to be torn apart and shook violently, as if nature had lost control in an instant. Houses collapsed and dust flew everywhere.

The child was startled awake by the noise and began to cry. Officials and citizens all looked towards the capital, their crystal tears falling to the ground.

There was sadness in their tears. The home where they had lived for decades collapsed.

There was also relief in her tears, relief that the emperor had issued an order in advance for them to move out of the capital.

Otherwise, they would not be able to sit here safely now and would have turned into a pile of yellow earth long ago.

"God bless David! Long live the emperor!"

Suddenly, someone knelt on the ground and started shouting. Seeing this, others knelt down and responded, and the sound was earth-shaking.

Zhou Chengyun looked towards the direction of the imperial palace, wondering what he was thinking about.

Hearing the sound from afar, he was even more thankful that he hadn't ignored Shen Heng's words and laughed them off. The tremors didn't subside until noon the next day. After confirming that the earthquake had completely ended, Zhou Chengyun sent a team to the capital to investigate the situation.

After they came back and reported the situation, he summoned his ministers to discuss the next steps.

After everything was arranged, Zhou Chengyun rubbed his swollen temples.

"Your Majesty, Consort De has personally brought the soup over."

Li Zhu looked at the person sitting on the throne with concern. The emperor had not slept well since he knew that the earthquake was going to happen.

"Let her in."

A sharp gleam flashed in Zhou Chengyun's eyes. He picked up the teacup and fiddled with it, his fingers moving slightly.

"See the Emperor."

A melodious voice like a yellow oriole sounded.

"My beloved concubine is flat."

"Your Majesty, this is the soup I made myself. Please try my cooking."

As she spoke, Concubine De walked over. As she approached, her hands under the wooden desk trembled slightly, and her wide cuffs moved slightly.

"From now on, let the palace maids handle this kind of thing. I can't bear to see my beloved concubine hurt her hand for me."

Zhou Chengyun seemed not to notice her actions and spoke as usual.

Defei nodded casually, and suddenly the wooden table and the soup fell to the ground with a harsh sound.

At the same time, the sharp dagger stabbed straight at him.

Seeing Zhou Chengyun motionless, Concubine De thought he was scared silly, and the smile on her lips grew bigger and bigger.

The next moment, she was pinned to the ground by someone who dropped from the sky, unable to move. To prevent her from committing suicide by taking poison, the secret guards directly removed her jaw...
