The world of film and television begins from childhood

"He dares? If he dares to come, I will let him know how powerful I am."

"Okay, hurry up and go, it will be too late if you are late."

In the end, Mu Qing was still concerned about his sister's marriage, so he hurriedly took a car to the palace.

Zhou Chen originally thought about taking the opportunity to leave Prince Mu's Mansion, but when he thought that Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu must have gone to the palace by now, it would not be good for him to go to Xie Mansion with his injured body.

As for Miaoyinfang, he wanted to go, but he was afraid that Gong Yu would be very sad when she saw him injured. Women's tears were more powerful than swords to him.

After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that Mu Nihuang had not been able to find her from last night to today, so he decided to wait for a few days until his injuries got better before going to look for Gong Yu. By that time, Gong Yu should have bought a house.

In the evening, Mu Qing and Mu Nihuang returned to the palace. As soon as Mu Qing came back, he ran to Zhou Chen. Also accompanying him were Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin and Mei Changsu.

Yan Yujin and Mu Qing were the most lively, and you told him what happened in the palace today.

Because Zhou Chen was injured and did not go, without his involvement, what happened in the palace today was similar to a TV drama.

First, Xiao Jingrui challenged Baili Qi, and then with the intentional cooperation of Mu Nihuang, Mei Changsu successfully rescued Xiao Tingsheng from Yeyouting.

Zhou Chen was relieved to know that everything went well.

If the system's main mission was not exactly the same as Mei Changsu's plan, which was to overturn the case during Emperor Liang's reign, to be honest, he really wanted to pick up the sword and assassinate Emperor Liang directly. Thinking of how he had just traveled through time and the pain he had suffered afterwards, it would not be an exaggeration to even torture Emperor Liang to death.

Mei Changsu and the others did not stay in Prince Mu's Mansion for long. After learning that Zhou Chen was safe, they left with peace of mind.

However, after dinner, Mu Nihuang came to the room where Zhou Chen was recuperating.

"The county lord."

Princess Nihuang stood not far from Zhou Chen's bed, looking directly at him, and suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with Mr. Su?"

Zhou Chen asked in surprise: "Why do you ask that?"

Mu Nihuang snorted coldly, "Do you really think I'm a fool? In order to find you in the past two years, I have investigated you a lot. If I'm not mistaken, even if you are not from the Jiangzuo League, you must have a very good relationship with Mr. Su."

"Why do you guess so?" Zhou Chen was not that surprised.

"Before you came to the southern border, you were in Jiangzuo. Later, when I investigated your information, I found that although you traveled to various countries, the place you appeared most often was still Jiangzuo. When you first came to the capital, you also acted as if you were very familiar with Mr. Su."

"That's all?"

"Of course not. I didn't understand it at first, but what happened at the palace banquet today suddenly made me understand a lot of things. Your injury this time was too strange. Just before His Majesty was about to let you replace one of the top ten candidates in the son-in-law selection meeting, you were assassinated. This is a bit too coincidental. "

"Considering what happened in the palace today, Mr. Su's behavior is also very strange. Although I don't know what you are planning, I can be sure that your relationship with him is definitely not ordinary. You must have other purposes for coming to the capital."

Mu Nihuang slowly expressed her suspicions. In fact, when she saw Zhou Chen's wound yesterday, she knew something was definitely wrong.

Two years ago, Zhou Chen's martial arts were much better than his, and it would be even stronger two years later. Zhou Chen has been in the martial arts world for many years and is extremely experienced. Who in the capital can assassinate him at such a close distance?

Anyway, she is also someone who has been on the list of Langya masters, and her knowledge of martial arts is much better than others.

Zhou Chen remained silent. Mu Nihuang's reaction was really beyond his expectations. She was worthy of being the peerless female commander who could lead 100,000 cavalry and defend the southern border for ten years.

"Why, you still don't want to admit it? Or do you think I'll betray you?"

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and knew that even if he denied it, he would probably not be able to dispel Mu Nihuang's doubts.

"Of course I know you won't betray me. You're right. Brother Su and I are indeed good friends. Strictly speaking, I am also a member of the Jiangzuo League. We did come to Beijing for other purposes, but I am just an assistant. Brother Su is the planner. I won't betray him. If you want to know more, go find him and find out."

Mu Nihuang stared at Zhou Chen for a long time before finally saying, "You didn't lie to me, which makes me very satisfied. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affairs, but I want to tell you that no matter what you want to do, the water in the capital is deep, and saving your life is more important than anything else."

"I value my life even more than you say, but..."

Zhou Chen shook his head and didn't say anything else. Some things had to be done. If he didn't plan it, Mei Changsu would have to do it.

After this conversation, Mu Nihuang did not come to see Zhou Chen again for the next few days.

The Hong Xiu Zhao assassination case is still under investigation, but Prince Yu’s behind-the-scenes intervention has made the investigation much quieter.

It was not until five days later that Mei Changsu used the three children to defeat Baili Qi of Beiyan and became famous.

When Mu Nihuang returned to the palace, she learned from her brother Mu Qing that Zhou Chen had left a letter and disappeared.

Thinking about how Zhou Chen also left without saying goodbye two years ago, Mu Nihuang was so angry that she tore up Zhou Chen's letter.

After Zhou Chen left the Mu Mansion, he came to Miaoyinfang.

"Sir, are you healed?"

As soon as Gong Yu saw Zhou Chen, her eyes turned red. She wanted to hug Zhou Chen excitedly, but she was afraid of touching Zhou Chen's wound.

As early as a few days ago, she had learned from Mr. Thirteen that it was Zhou Chen who was assassinated in Hongxiuzhao a few days ago and was injured.

Although Mr. Thirteen said that Zhou Chen was not seriously injured, she was still nervous for several days. She had been in low spirits for several days and wanted to sneak into Prince Mu's Mansion to find Zhou Chen several times, but she was afraid of ruining Zhou Chen's plan. In the end, she could only suppress her worry and longing and wait silently.

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand and held Gong Yu in his arms. He didn't come here at the beginning because he was afraid that Gong Yu would worry. Thinking of Gong Yu worrying about him these days, he felt distressed.

"Don't be sad. I'm back safe and sound. I was busy these days so I didn't come to let you know I'm safe. Don't blame me."

Gong Yu shook his head: "As long as you are okay, it's fine with me."

"Silly girl."

Zhou Chen hugged Gong Yu tighter. This woman was so stupid that it made people feel sorry for her.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 832: Settling down in the capital, where is General Jifeng?

"This is a two-story courtyard. Although it's not very big, the procedures are simple and there are no complicated issues. The price is also very fair, so I bought it. You can come in and take a look. If it's okay, we will live here in the future."

Gong Yu took Zhou Chen into a two-story courtyard. Last time, Zhou Chen told her that he wanted to buy a house, so she was very interested in it and had been asking about it these days.

We finally found this house because although it is not big, it is located in the inner city, close to the palace, and not far from Miaoyinfang.

In fact, it’s not that she couldn’t buy a better and bigger house, but those big mansions were either far away or had various problems. She knew that Zhou Chen was afraid of trouble, so she didn’t consider it and finally chose this two-story mansion.

The house is very new and can be moved in right after it is purchased. Gong Yu is even thoughtful enough to have bought two maids, a housekeeper and a cook.

These servants are not from the Jiangzuo League; Zhou Chen specifically assigned them this task.

After a few days, Zhou Chen's injuries had almost healed, but he still pretended to be in poor health during this period and basically did not show up in public.

"Thank you for your hard work, Gong Yu."

Speaking of which, this is his first property after coming to this world for more than ten years. Before, he either stayed in Langya Mountain, went to Jiangzuo League, or traveled around the world, but he had never bought a house of his own in this world.

I didn't expect that my first property in this world would be in Jinling City.

Gong Yu smiled and said, "As long as you are satisfied, that's all."

As soon as they entered the yard, the servants gathered around them.

"Sir, madam."

Led by the butler, several people bowed respectfully to Zhou Chen.

The housekeeper and the cook were in an employment relationship, while the two maids were bought. Their indentures were on Gong Yu. It could be said that Zhou Chen and Gong Yu could decide their life and death with a single word. Even if they were beaten to death, the government would not intervene.

When Gong Yu heard the servant's name, a bright smile appeared on her face. Although she had never thought of becoming Zhou Chen's legal wife, she still liked this name.

Zhou Chen asked them to stand up, and then looked at the four people. He had lived for hundreds of years, and his eyes had seen all the prosperity in the world. With just a pair of eyes, he could see the differences between most people.

The two maids were timid, which was perfectly normal. The cook was a woman in her thirties who still had some charm, so there was nothing unusual about her either.

But when he saw the butler, his eyes narrowed immediately. With his many years of experience, he immediately noticed that this butler was extraordinary.

He has kung fu skills and his eyes are different from those of ordinary people. This butler is definitely not just an ordinary butler as he said.

"Interesting. He approached me in this way, and even Gong Yu didn't notice. What kind of faction is he from? What is his purpose in approaching me?"

Although he discovered the difference in this person, he did not intend to expose him immediately. He wanted to see what purpose this person had in approaching him. It would be even better if he could find out the power behind the scenes.

"If you work for me, you will be paid a normal salary every month. You don't need to be too reserved. As long as you do your job well, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, sir."

"Go do something."

Zhou Chen waved his hand to let them leave, and followed Gong Yu into the room.

"That housekeeper should be more careful next time."

When Gong Yu heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "Is there something wrong with him?"

"It's a bit of a problem, but don't be too nervous. Just be careful and don't draw his attention. Leave the rest to me."

"Oh, sir, I'm sorry. I was careless."

Gong Yu felt extremely guilty. She herself was a spy, and when she was selecting people, she actually allowed someone with ulterior motives to sneak in. This was definitely a huge mistake.

She also realized it too late. She was too happy at the time and didn't think about these things, so she was taken advantage of.

"It's okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Just be careful next time."

Although this was a big problem, he did not overly criticize it.

Gong Yu nodded silently, but remembered this mistake in his heart. No matter what he did in the future, he must be cautious.

However, she was also confused. She knew that there was something wrong with the housekeeper, so why did the young master ask her to pretend that he didn't notice anything? But since the young master said so, she had to listen.

At Princess Pingyang's mansion, Jin Yu hurriedly found Princess Pingyang.

"Princess, the old shopkeeper has successfully become Master Yu's steward. He passed on the news to me that Master Yu looks very healthy."

Princess Pingyang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine."

During such a long time, the people she arranged had already found out a lot of information about Zhou Chen. It was as if Gongzi Yu appeared out of thin air, and no one could find out his background.

But because of this, she became more certain of Gongzi Yu's identity, and he was most likely her biological son Zhou Chen.

Although she didn't know what had happened in the meantime, she did not take any action and did not go to see Zhou Chen. Instead, she sent the old shopkeeper, the leader of her most trusted death squad, to Zhou Chen's side.

Investigation is one aspect, protection is another.

She had already lost her son once, and even though there was no final confirmation yet, she no longer wanted to see anything happen to Gongzi Yu again.

The assassination attempt not long ago also scared her a lot, but fortunately Zhou Chen was fine.

"Princess, Gong Ziyu has a very close relationship with Miss Gong Yu from Miaoyinfang. If Gong Ziyu is really Xiaochen, then..."

Princess Pingyang suddenly smiled. She had rarely smiled like this in all these years.

"If Gong Ziyu is really Xiaochen, then does everything else matter?"

Jin Yu also laughed and said, "Yes, if it is really Xiaochen, then nothing is more important than him being alive."

"If Gongzi Yu is Xiaochen, then that Mei Changsu must be Xiaoshu. They returned to the capital for revenge. Although the Zhou Mansion is gone, it does not mean that the flag of the Zhou Mansion has fallen. We must do our best to help them."

After all, the Zhou Mansion is a hereditary first-rank marquisate. Even if it has fallen into decline, it does not mean that it has no power at all. The power of aristocratic families is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

…………

The meeting to select a husband for Princess Nihuang had ended a while ago, and the final result was that Princess Nihuang was not selected by anyone. Although Emperor Liang was angry, he had no other choice.

Because on the day when the three children defeated Baili Qi, Queen Yan and Concubine Yue successively hosted Princess Nihuang for a banquet. However, Princess Nihuang had been reminded by Mei Changsu, so she did not drink tea either at Queen Yan's or Concubine Yue's place.

Especially with Concubine Yue, she used a sleight of hand to deceive her. Concubine Yue and others, who did not understand the situation, wanted to force her, but were beaten by the angry Princess Nihuang.

Meng Zhi and Mu Qing, who had been prepared, also arrived quickly, confronted the people arranged by Concubine Yue on the spot, and successfully captured Sima Lei.

The Queen even brought the Grand Empress Dowager to Concubine Yue and caught them in the act.

Although the evidence was right in front of us, and with the instigation of Prince Yu and the Queen, Emperor Liang's final punishment was intriguing.

The rank of Concubine Yue was lowered, Sima Lei and the Sima family were severely punished, but the Crown Prince was treated leniently, and Mu Nihuang was told not to hold on to him.

Of course Mu Nihuang was unwilling because of her bad temper, which made Emperor Liang very angry, but this time it was indeed the Crown Prince and Concubine Yue who had gone too far. He wanted to relieve Mu Nihuang's resentment. Even though he was the emperor, he could not be too strong when facing Mu Nihuang who held a large army.

Finally, he took a step back and allowed Mu Nihuang to not make a choice if she didn't meet someone she liked at this son-in-law selection meeting.

At night, Zhou Chen sneaked into the Xuelu in Xie Mansion and met Mei Changsu.

"I heard that you have already bought a yard near Changzhifang. You are quite quick."

Mei Changsu poured Zhou Chen a cup of hot tea and said lightly.

Zhou Chen picked up the teacup and said, "It's always more comfortable to live in my own place. You can't let me live in Miaoyinfang forever, right?"

"Yes, choosing Changzhifang will make it easier for us to contact each other in the future."

Not long ago, he had confronted Prince Jing and officially joined Prince Jing's army. As for the house, he had already decided on a location, which was in Changzhifang.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you. Yesterday I met Princess Nihuang. She seemed to be suspicious of my identity, so she took me around the Lin Mansion today."

Zhou Chen said, "Isn't this expected? Ever since he found out that you and I were in cahoots, he has been investigating our affairs. She doesn't know the old me, but she knows the old Lin Shu very well. It's normal for her to suspect you."
