Chapter 196

Song Guogong Mansion.

Zhao Xuan and Chu Qingbo looked at each other in the study, and they both focused on the letter on the table.

This secret letter sent by the eyeliner in the palace only has a few lines of words, but the content is extremely astonishing.I believe that today, many people in the capital have received the news, and more officials gathered in the court to wait for the further development of the situation.

The queen and the princess had a conflict over raising the eldest prince. The princess actually executed more than 100 palace guards around the queen in public, and summoned people from the six palaces to watch.Not only did the emperor not punish the princess, but he directly ordered the cabinet to abolish the queen!

"What do you think?"

Zhao Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qingbo.

"Ah……"

Chu Qingbo shook his head with a smile, and tapped his fingers on the table casually, thoughtfully.

After a long time, Chu Qingbo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the princess has made up her mind, it depends on whether the other party has the courage to fight directly."

Who is the "opponent" referring to? Naturally, they are the officials of the Beishang Group who intend to manipulate the government and even control the next emperor.

"However, who on earth came up with this stupid trick to let the empress go snatch the eldest prince at such a time?"

Chu Qingbo pointed out the key point.

Although their "Princess Party" and the "Northern Merchants Gang" have been wrestling secretly for a long time, and you have done a lot of things in various aspects, but it is a bit silly to tear your face to snatch the emperor's heir...however you look at it?

With the sophistication of those cabinet bosses, wouldn't they be so dizzy?For no reason, what to provoke the princess?
Even if you want to take over the eldest prince, you can use many gentler methods, why did you choose the most puzzling one?
"There is an explanation."

Zhao Xuan's face sank like water, and he said in a low voice, "There is something wrong with them."

"You mean..."

How clever Chu Qingbo was, he figured out the key in an instant, and took a deep breath.

A third-party force has infiltrated!

"Brother Xuan."

Without warning, Ye Shenyan's voice sounded outside the door.

Chu Qingbo looked at the closed study door in surprise, and then looked back at Zhao Xuan.

For the convenience of their conversation, they usually clear the courtyard where the study is located without the need for servants to attend.But if someone came to visit, the servants would be the first to report, so Ye Shenyan came in by himself?

However, Zhao Xuan's expression did not change at all. It seemed that Ye Shenyan's silent appearance in Duke Song's residence was already normal.

"Brother Xuan, a letter from the princess."

Ye Shenyan handed Zhao Xuan a thin confidential letter.

After Zhao Xuan finished reading quickly, his brows were frowned, and he gave the letter to Chu Qingbo.

In the letter, Yun Ruochen didn't explain her behavior, but just told her allies - please do your best to control the emotions of young officials and imperial students, and don't let them be incited to force the palace.

This is exactly what Zhao Xuan and Chu Qingbo have already started to do.

In recent years, Chu Qingbo has gradually weaved a huge network of contacts.Although the foundation is still immature, with Chu Qingbo's intelligence, coupled with the continuous supply of funds from the wealthy clan in the southeast, the power of this emerging group is also expanding.

Sufficient funds are very important for a political group.The development of Beishang's official group to this day is inseparable from the huge wealth held by Beishang. In turn, officials escort Beishang's industrial interests.

They are getting fatter, but the country is getting thinner, and the royal family's control over the localities is getting weaker and weaker. The emperor is already a puppet that has been emptied.

If Yun Ruochen wants to break this situation, he must cooperate with another power group.Although in the end, she wasn't sure whether she would be the one who rejected the tiger at the front door and entered the wolf at the back door... The rich people in the southeast are not vegetarians either.

But at present, the wealthy clan in the southeast represented by Zhao Xuanchu Qingbo is still the most suitable partner for her to cooperate with.

So when she was fighting those old officials in the palace, she hoped that Zhao Xuan and Chu Qingbo would help her control the situation in the court and not make the situation more chaotic.

On this day, the officials waited in the court from morning to night, but they didn't wait for the elders to leave the palace.

Due to Zhao Xuan and Chu Qingbo's efforts in secret, finally there was no situation where all the officials forced the palace.In the middle of the night, the pavilion elders were sent out of the corner gate by several small sedan chairs.No one can see their expressions.

When Yun Ruochen returned to Chonghua Palace, it was not Ji Jianing but Nie Shen who was waiting for her in the inner hall.

"Nie Shen?"

Yun Ruochen's slightly tired face suddenly glowed faintly, and he took two steps towards Nie Shen a little excitedly, but stopped his movements and smiled shyly.

Nie Shen, who came with anger, was stunned by her rare and delicate attitude, and forgot to ask questions for a moment.

"Princess, you are too reckless. You have fallen into someone else's trick!"

Nie Shen has always rarely asked about Yun Ruochen's actions, and he would always help her if she wanted to do anything.

But this time, he was really angry.

He would rather she was like before, always hiding in the dark to make plans, set traps, and make cold shots, but he didn't want to see her step into the cusp of the storm by herself.

Bystanders are clear, especially a professional spy like Nie Shen, who is best at analyzing various conspiracies and tricks.This incident, backwards from the current situation, is clearly a trap.

Deliberately instigating the stupid queen to choose Guo Zheng not in the palace and Yun Ruochen to go to the Chonghua Palace during lunch break to rob people openly, in order to provoke Yun Ruochen and the queen to confront each other head-on.

And Yun Ruochen was also furious as expected, and launched a crazy revenge, shaking the capital.Next, the protecting emperor not only did not punish her, but also abolished the empress, which made Yun Ruochen's situation even more passive.

"Princess, with your wisdom, you can't fail to see that there is a problem here. Why don't you discuss it with me?"

After speaking, Nie Shen's tone became uncontrollably excited.This performance is completely different from his usual.

Yun Ruochen didn't refute, nor was he angry, but just looked at Nie Shen quietly.Her eyes, as clear as ice, reflected the light of the palace lantern, presenting an amber transparent texture.

Nie Shen fell silent and stared at her in the same silence.

"Pa", I don't know which lantern made a light sound.

The quiet inner hall is covered with veils, and the evening wind blows in through the exquisite transom, stirring the room ambiguously.

Yun Ruochen likes to rest with the transom open, and doesn't like to keep the windows tightly closed. Anyway, she has set up security formations all over the palace. If anyone approaches, she will be alert immediately, and she doesn't worry about being eavesdropped by someone lurking nearby. to see something.

"Nie Shen, are you worried about me?"

"...Yes, princess, you..."

"Shh."

Yun Ruochen's white fingers suddenly pressed against Nie Shen's lips.

Nie Shen's cultivation level was not lower than Yun Ruochen's, but he watched Yun Ruochen's fingers approaching until he pressed them down, and he didn't even think about avoiding it.

He was already stunned.

"do not speak."

Immediately afterwards, a weak and fragrant body fell into his arms like spring rain falling into the lake.Silently, but it caused circles of ripples...

Nie Shen froze.

It's not that he hasn't had "intimate contact" with Yun Ruochen.Not to mention their childhood, but on the way to escape, when they were on the island, there were also various moments of healing and practicing. They had too many opportunities to come into contact.

but……

This time is different.Why is it different, why is it different, there is no need to think rationally... Anyway, it is different.

The slender arms were raised slightly, and the movements seemed a little stiff.But soon, the arms found a suitable position for them, and they were lightly wrapped around his waist.

He lowered his head, only to see her cloud-like raven hair tied on the top of her head, and then spread over her shoulders, just outlining a delicate chin.

On top of this is her slightly parted soft pink lips.The color of her lips was a bit pale, she didn't wear rouge, and she wasn't as ruddy as usual, perhaps because she was too tired... But, it was even more attractive.

A voice in Nie Shen's heart was crying weakly, the princess has grown up, they shouldn't hold him like this... She must rely on him as a father, but this is inappropriate, he should push her away, and then Let's talk about business.

But he didn't move.

Yun Ruochen didn't move either.Oh no, she tightened her arms tightly, and Zhenshou got closer to his chest, so close that she could hear the heartbeat clearly with her ear against his chest.

Plop, plop, unhurried, it seems that there is no special change.

She was a little disappointed, but she didn't know that Nie Shen had been exerting all his cultivation to control her heartbeat.

A few gusts of evening wind blew by, and the veil danced wildly. A piece of white veil was just blown up by the wind, and rolled over the bodies next to him and her, flirting with each other.

"Nie Shen, I'm very tired."

Yun Ruochen's voice was rustling and tired.

"A lot of things... Even if it's a trap, I know it's a trap, but I have to step on it."

"I have no way out..."

"They all want me to die. Oh, of course, everyone wouldn't say that, they just want me to 'disappear', don't worry about it, just watch them manipulate Father and Xing'er obediently..."

"I can't let them do what they want."

She was chattering nonsense, sounding disorganized, not as shrewd as usual.

But Nie Shen could tell that she...was complaining.

Ruochen was complaining, complaining to him, this kind of thing...

He didn't know how to deal with it. Should he act like an elder and teach her how to deal with the enemy?Or comfort her?

"it's okay!"

She suddenly chuckled, and said in a low voice: "Today, a lot of problems have finally been solved. Those people, do they think I'm so easy to bully? They can't even think of what I'm holding in my hand. They are all stupid today." I'll tell you later how I dealt with them, it's really fun, hahaha..."

is it?She has dealt with it?

Nie Shen felt relieved, and was about to say something when she said, "But I really have no way out."

"I pushed myself into the most troublesome situation... I didn't want to be like this..."

"So, anyway, I already have a lot of troubles, and I don't care if there are more."

"Huh?" Nie Shen frowned, what trouble did she say?
The next moment, she suddenly raised her face and kissed his lips without warning.
