prosperous power pet

Chapter 338
The luxuriant foliage in the oleander forest is a good place for Tibetans.

However, they were dressed in nocturnal clothes, so they could hide from people's eyes and ears at night, but now, with the light of day, they were particularly eye-catching.

Out of the corner of his eye, the armored guards on patrol saw a shadow flickering, turned their heads suspiciously, and looked at the oleander forest.

Although I didn't see anything unusual, I was still a little worried.

The emperor specifically told them to strengthen the guards around the Lenggong recently, not to let any suspicious person go, it's better not to take it lightly.

Thinking about it this way, he stepped out quickly, walked to the front, and said something to the armored guard who led the team.

Hearing this, the leader of the Iron Armored Guard also looked at the oleander forest, his eyes were deep and thoughtful.

"Understood, I'll go over and have a look, you continue to patrol." After thinking for a moment, the team leader said heavily.

"Yes." The armored guard who reported returned to the team in response, and continued to patrol along with the others, while the leader of the armored guard strode towards the oleander forest.

At this moment, Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan were hiding behind a few oleander trees, their eyes fixed on the entrance of the forest.

Soon, they saw the figure of an armored guard appearing in sight.

Because the flowers and trees were luxuriant, I couldn't see the man's face very clearly, but I could only vaguely see the armored bodyguard he was wearing.

Song Qinghuan tightened her grip on Shen Chuhan's arm.

Although only one person came to check on the situation, if there was going to be a commotion, the armored guards around would definitely hear the movement, and their whereabouts would be impossible to hide.

It seemed that they could only escape if they dealt with this person quietly.

He looked up at Shen Chuhan.

Shen Chuhan nodded knowingly, signaling her not to worry.

Song Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, held her breath, and stared at the figure that was getting closer and closer, with her fingers caressing the soft silkworm whip around her waist.

The trunk of the oleander tree is not thick, and they hide behind the tree, and it is inevitable that they will show their clues.

The Iron Armored Guard seemed to have sensed something unusual here, so he turned around and strode towards this side.

Seeing that there were only a few steps away, Song Qinghuan felt a gust of wind blowing around him, and when he took a closer look, Shen Chuhan had already spun out and was behind the armored guard in an instant.Seeing his brows and eyes were stern, he slashed at the back of the armored guard's neck with the knife in his hand, obviously wanting to subdue him with one blow.

In the blink of an eye, the Iron Armored Guard felt the murderous aura behind him, subconsciously tilted his head, and Song Qinghuan's handsome face clearly came into view.

She was startled, and hurriedly lowered her voice, "Ashu, wait a minute!"

Hearing Song Qinghuan's sudden sound, Shen Chuhan frowned, and subconsciously stopped his hand. At this time, the knife in his hand was only a finger away from the back of the armored guard's neck.

He didn't know why Song Qinghuan suddenly asked him to wait a while, but in order not to lose the opportunity, he changed his gesture and pointed two slender fingers towards the acupuncture points on the armored guard's back.

But the armored guard suddenly turned around, his surprised eyes fell on Shen Chuhan's face, and he said in surprise, "Your Highness, is it really you?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Shen Chuhan's eyes flickered, and a look of surprise surfaced in his pupils, and he could barely hold back his fingers.

"Xiao Zhuo? Why are you here?"

Yes, the Iron Armored Guard leader who came was actually Xiao Zhuo.

Song Qinghuan also came out from behind the tree, her astonished eyes fell on Xiao Zhuo's face.

She knew that Xiao Zhuo had recently been "promoted" and was promoted by Emperor Zhao to the position of Iron Armored Guard Left Guard Zhong Lang. It is not surprising that he would appear in the palace.

The armored guards are divided into left and right guards, and are responsible for guarding the imperial city and patrolling the palace city at the same time.As far as she knew, during the days when she and Shen Chuhan left Lindu, Jun Che took advantage of his position to secretly replace the Iron Armored Guards, Left and Right Guards, Zhong Lang, with his own.

Iron armored guards have the right to freely enter and leave the palace, how can Emperor Zhao rest assured that both the left and right guards are Junche's people?
Originally, Emperor Zhao wanted to replace one of them with his own person, but on the one hand, he already had Jin Yiwei directly under him, and on the other hand, because of Emperor Zhao's indifferent temperament, it would be better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight than to send his own people to fight in person. It was a good time to come, so I decided to bring Xiao Zhuo up on the spur of the moment.

This is also the reason why Emperor Zhao named Xiao Zhuo to participate in the reception banquet last time, in order to create momentum for Xiao Zhuo and to sound a wake-up call for Jun Che.Sure enough, within a few days, he announced the news in the morning.

However, this place is near the Lenggong, and there are not many armored guards patrolling here at all, so why is Zuowei Zhonglang personally leading the team today?
Xiao Zhuochao and Song Qinghuan also saw the ceremony, put away the surprise in their eyes, looked around vigilantly, and then said in a low voice, "Recently, Emperor Zhao ordered us to strengthen the patrol of the Lenggong, and my subordinates just heard that there is something abnormal here. , thinking that His Highness is investigating this peach grove recently, and he was afraid that it might be one of his own, so he wanted to come and have a look by himself first, but he didn't expect to meet His Highness and the princess."

When investigating this oleander grove earlier, because Xiao Zhuo was in charge of patrolling the palace recently, Shen Chuhan specially sent someone to say hello to him, but he did not expect to meet him today.

Shen Chuhan nodded, "It's fortunate that it's you this time, otherwise, I don't know if I can get away with it."

Xiao Zhuo glanced out of the forest, "Your Highness, it's almost dawn now, and there are more patrols in the palace, you and the princess should hurry out of the palace."

"Okay." Shen Chuhan nodded, "When you are free, come to Prince Han's Mansion, I have something to tell you."

Seeing his solemn expression, and personally taking Song Qinghuan to explore this peach forest at night, Xiao Zhuo knew that what Shen Chuhan was going to say might be related to this.It's just that now is not a good time to talk, so I nodded my head in response.

Shen Chuhan resigned from him and took Song Qinghuan out of the forest.

Xiao Zhuo looked around vigilantly, seeing that there was nothing unusual, he followed the route Shen Chuhan had just walked out.

Running fast all the way, avoiding the patrolling armored guards, and finally left the palace before the sun came out.

Outside the palace, not far away, there was a carriage parked in the alley.

Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan got into the carriage, Shen Chuhan ordered in a low voice, and the carriage drove quickly to King Han's Mansion.

After returning to the mansion and entering the room, neither of them spoke.

Too many things happened in one night, and Song Qinghuan still couldn't recover. Thinking of the weird underground palace and Concubine Xiao Gui who had lived underground for more than ten years, she felt chills all over her body.

In her previous life, she felt that Emperor Zhao's character was a bit extreme, but she never expected that it would be so perverted.What he did was not because he really liked Concubine Xiao Gui, but because he regarded her as a plaything that was bound to be won.

If Concubine Xiao Gui had chosen him instead of Jun Wuyin from the very beginning, Emperor Zhao might have lost interest in her long ago.Or, if Concubine Xiao Gui could subdue him, maybe Emperor Zhao would not be so paranoid anymore.

If you can't get it, you will always be in turmoil.

A person like him, just like Su Rao, will always love him the most. No wonder the two of them got together in the previous life and worked hand in hand.

With a long sigh, she regained her senses a little, and looked up at Shen Chuhan.

Shen Chuhan has been sitting behind the desk since entering the room, without saying a word, his whole body exudes a cold and stern look.

Song Qinghuan knew that he was still blaming himself and annoyed.

If it was the previous life, he might have brought out Concubine Xiao regardless, and lived a new life. After all, he would no longer be as impulsive as in the previous life.

This is a good thing.

It's just that right now, he's clearly on the edge of a dead end.

Pursing her lips, Song Qinghuan got up and walked over, leaning slightly beside him, covering the back of his hand with her frail and boneless little hand.

"Ashu..." she said lightly.

Shen Chuhan looked up, his eyes were still foggy.

"Ashu, I know you must be blaming yourself right now. It's just that none of us could have expected what happened to the concubine mother. No matter what, the concubine mother can still live in this world, and God has treated us well. "

Song Qinghuan lightly stroked the back of his hand, her voice was lingering, her eyes were gentle, like a gentle breeze, blowing away some of Shen Chuhan's dryness.

He sighed, grabbed Song Qinghuan's wrist, pulled her onto his lap and sat down.Holding her slender waist with one hand, he buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath.

It wasn't until the end of his nose was filled with the familiar fragrance of Song Qinghuan that he felt the feeling of bursting in his body gradually subside.

"Ah Wan, when I think about the suffering my mother and concubine have suffered all these years, I feel so uncomfortable that I go crazy." Shen Chuhan said sullenly, his whole body felt a little cold.

"I know." Song Qinghuan's voice became softer, and she reached out to caress his back, "I know everything, Ashu."

Sensing Shen Chuhan's ups and downs of emotions gradually calming down, Song Qinghuan slowly said, "Ashu, I know that you are feeling uncomfortable now, and I know that you are extremely guilty. But you should blame what happened to the concubine, not yourself , but it should be Emperor Zhao. If Emperor Zhao hadn’t hid Concubine Mother for so many years, how could we have discovered Concubine Mother’s whereabouts until now?”

Shen Chuhan let out a muffled "hmm", and tightened the hand hanging by his side.

If it wasn't for the fear of hurting Awan and Youyou, according to his usual temperament, he would have entered the palace and killed Emperor Zhao long ago.

Song Qinghuan continued, "The top priority is to quickly come up with a plan to rescue the mother and concubine from the underground palace as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Shen Chuhan raised his head to look at her, and heaved a sigh of relief, "You are right, after the concubine mother is rescued, I will slowly settle the account with Emperor Zhao."

Song Qinghuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Shen Chuhan would be extremely angry for a while, and even though he might still win in the end, even though he might win in the end, she didn't want him to do this kind of thing again.

Song Qinghuan stood up from Shen Chuhan, took a chair and sat beside him, her eyes were cold, "Then... let's analyze this matter carefully now."

Shen Chuhan took a sip from the teacup on the desk, suppressed the anger in his heart, nodded heavily, "Okay."

Song Qinghuan cleared her throat and spoke first, "The concubine mother said that she died of poisoning that day, and you also personally watched her die in the grave?"

Shen Chuhan nodded, "Yes."

He personally checked the situation of the mother and concubine, and she was indeed out of breath.

Song Qinghuan showed a thoughtful look, and a thought flashed in his mind, "When I was looking up the information on the four major elixir, I saw that Huoyanghua not only has the effect of curing all kinds of poisons, but also has the effect of curing the dead. But the premise is that the person died of poisoning, and the death did not exceed half a month."

Shen Chuhan frowned, "Ah Wan, what do you mean, back then, Emperor Zhao used Huoyanghua to save his mother and concubine?"

"This is just my guess. Whether it is true or not, I can only ask her after the concubine mother is rescued."

Shen Chuhan nodded thoughtfully.

Although the fire sun flower is extremely precious, the one in Yu Kingdom's palace has already been taken by Yin Zhan, but Bao Buqi has other fire sun flowers in this world, they just don't know about it.

With Emperor Zhao's ability, it is not too difficult to send people to search for another Huoyang flower.

He straightened out his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Now it seems that the tunnel in Emperor Zhao's bedroom must be the way to the underground palace." At this point, his eyes were burning with anger, and the back of his fist was clenched. Veins burst out.

For more than ten years, Emperor Zhao has imprisoned Concubine Xiao in the ground for more than ten years. He can go and leave whenever he wants, saying that he loves her, but in fact he regards Concubine Xiao as a plaything in a cage.

As Shen Chuhan is a son of man, the more he thought about it, the more he felt humiliated.

Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself.

"If you want to rescue the mother and concubine, the biggest obstacle is to beware of the sudden appearance of Emperor Zhao." Since Emperor Zhao directly built a road to the underground palace in the palace, he can come and go freely without anyone knowing.

"Yes." Song Qinghuan nodded in agreement, "Perhaps, we can use tricks to hold him back."

"Yes."

With the cover of darkness at night and no one guarding outside the oleander forest, it is the best time to rescue Concubine Xiao Gui. As long as he finds a way to hold Emperor Zhao back, this matter will surely come true.

Shen Chuhan let out a long breath, "I will have someone arrange this matter as soon as possible." Can't wait any longer!He must rescue his mother and concubine from that devil's den as soon as possible.

Song Qinghuan said "um", and said, "One more thing."

"What's the matter?" Shen Chuhan looked up.After all, when Concubine Xiao was involved, he was unavoidably a little uneasy. It was better for Song Qinghuan to be thorough in thinking about the problem this time.

"After saving the concubine mother, where will we place her?"

Shen Chuhan frowned.

After rescuing his mother and concubine, Emperor Zhao will surely hear the news soon, so he must be the first to doubt him.

In case Emperor Zhao broke his face in a frenzy and sent people to Han Wang's mansion to search, not only would the people in the mansion be in danger, but it would also implicate the mother and concubine again.

Therefore, Concubine Xiao Gui cannot return to Prince Han's Mansion for a short time.

However, the situation was urgent, and it was difficult for him to find a safe and trustworthy place for a while, so he couldn't help frowning, and his expression became more and more anxious.

At this time, Song Qinghuan was calm, and Qingyue said, "Ashu, what do you think...how is Junxi's place?"

Shen Chuhan's eyes moved, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

He bought all the mansions near the Song Mansion, and installed many hidden guards to guard them closely, which is both secretive and safe.Besides, Jun Xi and Concubine Xiao have known each other for a long time, she has a straightforward temperament, and the concubine mother lives with her, so she will definitely be able to gradually come out of the haze.What's more, there is Song Nian in the mansion, with a child to accompany her, her mood will get better after all.

He looked up at Song Qinghuan, got up and bent over, held her face in his arms, and kissed her loudly on the cheek, only to reveal the first smile of the day, "Ah Wan, thanks to having you by my side."

Song Qinghuan glanced at her, and was about to speak, but saw a person standing at the door, it was Liuyue.

She seemed to have just seen the scene where Shen Chuhan kissed herself just now. The sun was gradually rising and hit her face, making her face even more crimson.

Song Qinghuan smiled, pushed Shen Chuhan away and stood up, walked a few steps to look at her and said, "What's wrong with Liuyue?"

Liu Yue blinked her eyes, and then suddenly came back to her senses, cleared her throat embarrassingly, "Your Highness, Mr. Xiao is here, and we are already waiting in the front hall for this meeting."

Xiao Zhuo is Shen Chuhan's confidant, he doesn't need to notify him when he enters the mansion, and besides, in order not to attract attention, he usually goes in and out directly through the side door.

Song Qinghuan raised an eyebrow.

I didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to come so soon, he should have rushed over immediately after handing over.

She nodded, "Got it, you go there first, just say we'll be right there."

Liuyue retreated in response.

Song Qinghuan turned to look at Shen Chuhan, "Ashu, Xiao Zhuo is here."

Shen Chuhan nodded, and walked over to hold her hand, "I heard that, let's go, go and have a look, I don't know if there is any new news from him."

When the two arrived at the front hall, they saw Xiao Zhuo standing in the hall, and Liu Yue was talking to him at the side. Hearing footsteps, Liu Yue raised her eyes and saw the two coming, she smiled at Xiao Zhuo, " Mr. Xiao, when His Highness and the prince are here, the servants will go down first."

Xiao Zhuo nodded, "Thank you." He strode forward to welcome Shen Chuhan and Song Qing.

Liu Yue bowed to the two of them and retreated.

Didn't go far, but ran into Xuanying.

She was startled, stopped in her tracks, her eyes moved slightly, "Xuan Ying?"

Since Xuanying sent them back that day, they haven't seen each other for several days.It was because Xuanying was too busy, and she was also busy taking care of the little princess, the two of them couldn't get together at all.

Didn't expect to see him here.

Thinking of the words he said without thinking that day, Liu Yue couldn't help feeling a little shy, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, and she looked away from his face.

"Liuyue, why are you here? Are the young master and young lady back?" Xuanying's deep voice came from beside his ear.

Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan visited the palace at night, so Xuanying naturally knew about it.

Liu Yue nodded, "Young Master Xiao is here, His Highness and the prince are talking to him in the front hall."

Xuanying let out an "oh" and didn't speak any more.

The atmosphere was a little silent for a while.

"you……"

"you……"

At this time, the two suddenly opened their mouths at the same time.
