Chapter 51: Real Dragon and Fake Dragon

"The royal concubine said she has something important to see you."

The eunuch said in a low and frightened voice.

The emperor and Concubine Shu looked at each other, and finally stood up to find Concubine Wang.

After he came back, he laughed angrily for a while, and finally said that the royal concubine wanted him to make the fourth prince a prince, and also wanted his majesty to depose the current queen and make her his queen.

In exchange, the Wang family's power within the Cui family will support the emperor, and the Wang family will fully support His Majesty and supply a large amount of food and grass to the border.

"Can Concubine Wang have the power within the Cui family?" Concubine Shu asked in surprise.

"What? It's just that the Gurang Cui family chose Wang Guifei. This idiot really thought that part of the Cui family listened to her."

The emperor chuckled.

Only then did Concubine Shu know that the Chen family had infiltrated the Cui family a long time ago, and it was the current emperor who selected Wang family as the candidate to collude with the Cui family.

In this way, the power within the Cui family that is loyal to the Chen family can be easily exerted.

"Now I know that I will comply with her wishes first and wait until your brother's side wins. I will take care of these traitors!"

The emperor said, and Concubine Shu trembled in her heart and couldn't help but ask: "What if it's me? My brother lost?"

"No, I have already made arrangements for this matter. Your brother just needs to use his skills well. Things here will not affect him," the emperor said with a mysterious smile.

Seeing the emperor's confident look, Concubine Shu hugged him gently and said, "That's good, I was really scared to death."

"So you are scared too?" The emperor chuckled and said.

Concubine Shu rarely cried in front of the emperor, and everyone quietly got out of the way.

Although life in the palace is difficult now, their master's relationship is getting better and better, which makes people's hearts slowly grow stronger.

"Boom."

At night, fireworks began to set off again in the palace.

It is said that the Cui family was celebrating their emperor's first day in court, and even set up a table to burn incense to comfort their ancestors.

"It's really ridiculous."

When the palace people saw this scene, they always felt that Mrs. Cui was going crazy.

The people in the imperial city outside were still so sad, but he was actually celebrating here.

"I heard that the Cui family's children have caused a lot of trouble in the imperial city these days. When I went to arrest them, they said that they were members of the royal family and wanted to teach people a lesson."

People in the palace responded to the Cui family's various behaviors. They all kept discussing it, and even Chen Xiaozhuo felt embarrassed and embarrassed after hearing it.

Liu Shiwen couldn't tell whether this was a group intelligence effect under the influence of the plot. He could only explain to Chen Xiaozhuo that there were always some fools in every group.

Chen Xiaozhuo shook his head and said, "How can this be done? The prince and father work so hard, but they do this."

"Is Emperor Wen Ji here?"

While he was talking, the third princess came over with her mother, Concubine Yun.

"Yes."

Liu Shiwen had nothing to do with Concubine Yun. In other words, Concubine Yun was just a quiet wooden person in the harem.

Why did you suddenly come to your door now?

"Brother Wen Ji," the third princess called with a smile when she saw Chen Xiaozhuo after entering.

"Sister Sanhuang." Chen Xiaozhuo was also a little confused, but still called out.

"It was cold, and the child couldn't stay in the house, so he came out for a walk. After much deliberation, he came to your place." Concubine Yun glanced around as she spoke.

Nowadays, everyone is living a crowded life, except Li Concubine, who is not a concubine yet, so she lives alone.

Although Liu Shiwen is now falsely called Libi, everyone knows his true identity, and also knows about his dealings with King Yikang.

Now that King Yikang has moved into the palace, everyone has seen King Yikang's style. If we really want to talk about the situation, it only looks like 50-50 right now.

But for these people below, it is better to pave the way as early as possible.

Especially recently, King Yikang has started to take action against court officials, and His Majesty can't stop him. Concubine Yun's family was also a servant of the Cui family.

Now come here and say a few words in advance, maybe you can get some benefits, but if not, you can avoid some disasters.

Liu Shiwen listened to Concubine Yun praising him inside and out, and he laughed awkwardly along with her. He naturally knew Concubine Yun's plan.

But only he knew that it was not cost-effective to please him now. If His Majesty the Emperor knew about this, Concubine Yun would be penalized.

When Liu Shiwen was chatting with Concubine Yun, he thought about Concubine Yun's fate.

He remembered that Concubine Yun was treated coldly and never came out again, but there was still some drama about the third princess.

Liu Shiwen glanced at the third princess. The third princess was nine years old this year and was doing well.

Later, she almost got engaged...

"Oh, how could I forget such an important plot!" Liu Shiwen suddenly screamed in his heart. He almost forgot that just after Cui entered the palace, the New Year's Eve From time to time, foreign envoys would come to pay their respects.

Now there are two emperors sitting on the throne, and other countries don't know what to say, maybe they worship the wrong true god.

Of course, there are also those who come to spy on the truth. If the Chen Dynasty is really in chaos, they might be able to invade one or two.

The most dangerous among them is the Hengran Kingdom near the Chen Dynasty.

Liu Shiwen remembered that Hengran Kingdom came here under the pretense of a marriage alliance, and he brought three princes from Hengran Kingdom with him.

The third princess almost fell in love with Prince Hengran.

But because it was Concubine Shu who knew that Prince Hengran was not a good person, she tried to find a way to hide it from the third princess.

"Trouble, I don't know if I have to clean up Xiao Zhuo when the time comes." Liu Shiwen thought about himself now, maybe the emperor pushed Xiao Zhuo out with evil intentions?

"Your Majesty, it's snowing outside again, we should go back."

At about the same time, Concubine Yun's maid said something, and Concubine Yun stood up with a smile.

The third princess got up and left reluctantly.

Chen Xiaozhuo and Liu Shiwen sent the mother and daughter away for a while.

"It's snowing again. This year's life is too sad." Chen Xiaozhuo sighed like a master as he looked at the snow slowly falling from the sky.

"It won't rain soon."

Liu Shiwen looked at the sky. He remembered that everyone was worried that if it continued like this, there would be a big disaster. Some even thought that this was retribution for Chen's refusal to return the throne.

This statement soon spread to the palace.

The emperor was so angry that he could hardly speak.

At this time, Cui also persuaded many dignitaries in the capital to side with her.

For a time, the emperor's power seemed to be reduced to a historical low.

Even when the new year was approaching, Chen Guangheng, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, temporarily stopped going to court in order to support Concubine Shu's birth.

Such behavior makes people panic and go crazy.

Seeing that the New Year is coming to an end, His Majesty the Emperor is no longer in court.

The Cui family celebrated this move even more vigorously, and it was even reported that Cui's clan members had already thought about their future rewards.

"Tsk, tsk, is this the villain's carnival?"

Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo to the shop in the capital, and once again released a batch of food for people to transport out of the city to help more remote victims.

In order to transport this batch of grain, Liu Shiwen was severely raped by the Cui family.

After conversion, it is more expensive than buying this batch of grain myself.

Chen Xiaozhuo was very angry when he found out. He was tired of Cui's people.

"Let's go, we should go back."

Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo back to the palace.

Concubine Shu gave birth to a little prince at the end of the year.

After the little prince was born, the sky cleared up immediately.

It was freezing cold yesterday, but it's getting warmer today.

At first, some people thought it was a coincidence, but as the day progressed, it actually stopped snowing.

Everyone said that if this was the case, this year's snow would be considered a good one.

Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and the seventh prince born to Concubine Shu is named Chen Wenzhao.

His Majesty the Emperor was overjoyed and sent someone to open a granary to stock the grain.

Cui's manpower deployed in the capital was quickly replaced, and there were several fights in the process.

But after all, Cui has left the imperial city for three generations, and she still has no foundation when she comes here now.

The imperial city soon returned to the hands of Emperor Chen Chao.

"Your Majesty, the envoys outside are about to arrive."

Finally, Emperor Chen Chao came to court again, with even greater momentum than before.

On the contrary, King Yikang fell ill in the court and had to retire early.

After all this, it was said that the fake dragon was no match for the real dragon.

Chen Xiaozhuo also quickly learned about King Yikang's illness. The big orange cat was taken out of King Yikang's room.

"It'll be okay." Although Liu Shiwen said this, his expression became ugly.

He clearly knew that the plot was in danger and the medicine was useless.

Sure enough, after today, King Yikang's complexion became better.

Overnight, Cui's limelight was completely suppressed.

After the envoys began to come in, Cui's people also sent people to pick them up. Most of the things the envoys sent were in double portions.

But in comparison, Emperor Chen's collection was better.

King Yikang also tidied up and received the envoys. Everyone who had seen King Yikang said that he was an extraordinary person, but he looked not in good health, which made people a little worried.

"It seems that if it continues like this, it may not work."

The people of the Cui family really couldn't sit still when they saw King Yikang like this, and they wanted to break the situation in front of them no matter what.

Since writing is not good, it is natural to use force.

Cui has been dormant for so many years, and has also raised a group of troops in the south, and has also sent people to do sabotage on the border.

As long as something goes wrong on Shu Ning'an's side, Emperor Chen's control here will be in vain.

As soon as Cui's army arrived, Chen was naturally asked to kneel down to greet them.

After King Yikang heard these thoughts of the Cui people, he sat there with calm eyes and even a slight smile, and said, "Okay, if you want to do this, then go ahead and do it."

Cui After hearing this sentence, the people of the clan were very excited. After discussion, they planned to take action after the new year.

Chapter 52: Banquet Guard:

"Master."

After Cui's people left, Mr. Wang, King Yikang's adviser, stood over there, looking at King Yikang with a worried expression.

Yi Ankang closed his eyes slightly and asked, "Sir, do you believe in fate?"

Mr. Wang looked at King Yikang blankly when he heard this.

According to his understanding, King Yi Kang has been a rebellious person since he was a child. He is also very talented and a great talent descended from heaven.

Now that I heard such words from his mouth, I felt an inexplicable sadness.

Thinking of the sudden onset of illness when King Yi Kang was talking in the court, and the roar of laughter that lingered in his ears.

Mr. Wang looked at King Yikang, fearing that he would just give up everything, and said, "I don't believe it."

King Yikang looked at Mr. Wang and said slowly: "I didn't believe it like Mr. Wang before, but someone once told me , I will never succeed in this battle between Cui and Chen."

"Who is so bold and presumptuous!" Mr. Wang became angry when he heard this.

When King Yikang heard Mr. Wang ask this question, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Now I think I believe in fate, but that man once told me that he believed in fate, but he will not believe in fate." Under the premise of working hard to change his situation."

Mr. Wang looked at King Yikang and said slowly: "That's understandable."

"So I also want to change my situation on the premise of trusting my destiny. King Yikang said softly.

Mr. Wang looked at King Yikang in confusion.

King Yikang said with far-reaching eyes: "Suppose that when the Cui family enters the capital this time, the Cui family is defeated and I die, what do you think Emperor Chen will do?"

"My lord, how can you say such depressing words? We won't succeed this time, but it won't be easy for Chen to eat us,"

Mr. Wang said hurriedly.

"This king is just assuming. Please tell me sir." King Yikang finished speaking and brought the medicine bag over.

"Meow."

The big orange cat next to him jumped over and stretched out his paw to hold down King Yikang's arm.

King Yikang smiled, and then asked Mr. Wang to bring over the chessboard. The two of them discussed this terrible hypothesis while playing chess.

After waiting for Mr. Wang to play this game of chess with King Yikang, he was covered in cold sweat.

If it is true as King Yi Kang hypothesized, then this time Cui has already entered the abyss of death since entering the capital.

This was not just planned by Emperor Chen, but started from the great ancestor of Chen family.

They had already begun to plan Cui's actions at this time.

Cui's direct lineage was under Chen's control from birth to position selection, and even their physical health.

In this way, Chen had already anticipated what actions the third generation of the Cui family would make at approximately what age they would be.

Although there may be some small twists and turns in the middle, there have been no major surprises in the development to this day.

"If that's the case... if it's true as the prince said..." The sweat on Mr. Wang's forehead continued to break out, and he felt that Ms. Cui had long since become a bug in the spider's web.

"Sir, don't worry too much. This is just an arrangement that I guess Chen made under perfect circumstances."

King Yikang didn't look so nervous or scared.

He put down the last chess piece and said: "Chen's love for calculations and good destiny make everything happen for them."

"Indeed, Chen's development has been going smoothly over the years, so we have never had any problems. We have to find a way to take action, but now we have the opportunity. If it is really as planned by the prince, and the chaos on the border is just a scheme by the emperor... this is really..." Mr. Wang's face turned pale.

"Of course it's not a simple trick. It's true. It's just that he had already planned for the border chaos. It's probably because Xia Yanliang warned him in advance."

King Yikang looked at Mr. Wang and said, "We live in the south. After a long time, I have lost my sensitivity to these things, and I don't have talents like Xia Yanliang, so I missed a move."

"My lord... If this is the case, then I'm afraid the emperor can control the border stably. He is already ready to eradicate our Cui family, not to mention that there are already people with evil intentions in the Cui family," Mr. Wang said nervously.

"So, I asked the mute servant to go back to the south to find arrangements with the elders in advance." King Yikang said calmly.

"But judging from Cui's long-standing grudges, the elders may not listen to the mute servant, and the emperor may have been keeping an eye on Cui's side for a long time. They will know if there is any trouble." Mr. Wang said worriedly. , "So I need you, sir." King Yikang looked at Mr. Wang and said with a smile.

Mr. Wang paused for a moment. Based on his understanding of King Yikang, he must have thought of some way to deal with it.

At least it won't really make Chen's plans for so many years come true.

It is not easy for Chen to eat Cui.

"If I go, over here..." Mr. Wang couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of Cui's people.

"Naturally, things can't really break down on the border side. Just let them pretend to make a fuss. If they really pounce on me, it will ruin Cui's reputation. I'm afraid Shu Ning'an will catch her if they cross over. Maybe I'll even help others make wedding clothes," said King Yikang.

Mr. Wang nodded thoughtfully, then looked at King Yikang and said, "Since you already know Chen's conspiracy, why not retreat bravely? I think even if we leave now, they won't be able to stop us."

"How can we retreat? ? This is the blood feud between the three generations of our Cui family. If we continue to suppress it like this, I am afraid that the Cui family will really fall apart." King Yikang said with a cruel and arrogant look in his eyes: "Cui family has been holding back this breath for too long. It's time to send it out."

"My lord, your health is the most important thing. If Cui doesn't have you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed even if there is enough foundation left." Mr. Wang persuaded.

King Yikang waved his hand and said: "My fate has been determined by heaven. I am the incarnation of Cui's lonely soul, and I will die in this palace."

"Your Majesty..."

Mr. Wang shouted with a trembling voice . Voice.

"Go ahead, sir. Cui's future will be entrusted to you. But if our plan doesn't work out, sir, don't insist. Let it go when it's time to let go." King Yi Kang looked out the window and could vaguely see Cui. of the imperial tower.

"We will definitely fulfill our mission." Mr. Wang saluted and then retreated.

After Mr. Wang left, King Yikang saw a sparrow flying over the horizon, followed by another one.

The orange cat meowed several times at the sparrow.

"I miss your master and his father ." After King Yikang said that, he asked someone to announce the fake Liu family and his son in the cold palace.

The two father and son were left to play in the house for a long time, and then sent back in the evening.

Now everyone vaguely knows that King Yikang actually still has a bloodline in the palace, and he was born together with Concubine Liu in the palace.

Now that King Yikang has entered the palace, although it is difficult to reveal his identity clearly, everyone can see his favor towards the father and son.

Especially after the envoys came over, King Yikang even arranged for them to enter the venue in order to give the father and son some face.

Everyone was despised by the father and son, and no one wanted to sit with them.

This was the first time Liu Shiwen saw the father and son pretending to be him. Because it was a plot that was not in the book, it made him curious and nervous.

The person pretending to be himself looked a bit like himself, with makeup on his face, making him look more prettier.

The child sitting next to him pretending to be Chen Xiaozhuo looked older and much more lively.

"Hmph!"

Chen Xiaozhuo pouted when he came in. In order to prevent him from being conspicuous, Liu Shiwen also helped him cover up. His little face was thin and yellow, not very pretty.

I don't know who arranged it, but they arranged Chen Xiaozhuo and his son to face the fake father and son.

Liu Shiwen looked at the person pretending to be him. The person was slightly surprised but quickly turned away, and the person next to him started talking.

Several women also came from Cui's side, and they all looked very serious and serious, but they looked a little too gorgeous compared to Chen's side.

"There are not many female guests from the mission, so don't be restrained."

The queen is not here, and Concubine Shu has to take care of the little prince. The one sitting in the main seat today is Concubine Wang.

The royal concubine is now in charge of palace affairs, and she finally got what she wanted.

I heard that His Majesty often comes to sit with Wang Guifei recently, which is really enviable.

The Cui family also has a host here. It is said that she is the aunt of King Yi Kang. She is a lively and talkative person. She can barely survive the banquet by singing harmony with the royal concubine.

Everyone is sitting here, the charcoal fire in the room is very bright, there are not many dishes, the whole person is cold and hot, and the children can't sit still very quickly.

"The prince of Hengran Kingdom wants to let several princes and princesses visit the garden together."

After a while, the eunuch came over to talk.

Concubine Yun felt nervous when she heard that the third princess was ordered to come over. Instead, Concubine Wang said something, smiling as if she wanted to congratulate Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun was not a bold person, so she just gave the third princess a few words and asked the third princess to follow her servant.

"I'll go too."

The kid pretending to be Chen Xiaozhuo also stood up.

Liu Shiwen's heart skipped a beat. Any action at this time represented a certain meaning.

Liu Shiwen pinched Chen Xiaozhuo, and Chen Xiaozhuo coughed twice. Liu Shiwen said that Chen Xiaozhuo had caught a cold and would not get over it.

"Perhaps he was choked by the charcoal fire in this room. Everyone has gone. Libi, please don't hold him captive. Someone will bring Prince Wen Ji over." Wang Guifei spoke at this time.

"No, I know very well about my own child. If the illness passes over to the princes and princesses, I can't afford to settle the accounts with me." Liu Shiwen covered Chen Xiaozhuo and looked at Wang Guifei with sharp eyes. .

Concubine Wang Guifei did not expect that Liu Shiwen would dare to deny her face here. She immediately changed her expression and wanted to teach Liu Shiwen a lesson. Mrs. Cui next to her smiled and hurriedly stopped her.

Seeing Liu Shiwen like this, Concubine Yun and others felt worried about their children. After sitting for a while, they found an excuse and went out.

After a while, I heard that the third princess was being led away by Concubine Yun while she was crying.

Chapter 53 The Alien Boy and the Tiger

"What happened? Why did you start crying after you went out to play well? The third princess is not a child anymore. Could it be that she was bullied?"

Everyone was talking like this, and Concubine Wang was embarrassed. He smiled, and then said haha: "Maybe the little girl is thin-skinned and has a bad temper. Speaking of which, it is better to be a boy, not so much."

Mrs. Cui took the words and reluctantly made the place lively again. got up.

At this time, Chen Xiaozhuo squeezed Liu Shiwen's hand hard, seeming a little anxious.

Liu Shiwen took a look and found that the kid pretending to be Chen Xiaozhuo hadn't come back yet.

"Your Highness, I feel a little unwell, so I won't accompany you today." After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, he stood up and left with Chen Xiaozhuo without looking back.

"It's really...!"

Wang Guifei almost opened her mouth to curse. Liu Shiwen refused to give her face one after another. After these days, you can't blame yourself for being merciless.

King Yikang and the Liu family are just turtles in the urn.

Wang Guifei raised her chin slightly and became proud.

Outside, Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo walked quickly for a few steps, only to hear someone shouting in the distance.

"Oops!"

Chen Xiaozhuo suddenly shouted, and a shadow of a bird passed by in the sky.

Liu Shiwen seemed to realize something. He picked up Chen Xiaozhuo and ran towards the place where the child was making noise.

"No, Prince Xiao Zhuo fell into the water!"

When Liu Shiwen ran over, he heard someone shouting.

"Father."

Chen Xiaozhuo suddenly hugged Liu Shiwen and asked him to stop.

"Someone jumped to save me!"

Chen Xiaozhuo said. Liu Shiwen reluctantly stood still and breathed heavily. Even if it was the kid pretending to be Chen Xiaozhuo, Liu Shiwen didn't want to see him end up like this. .

No matter whose arrangement it is!

Liu Shiwen took a deep breath and rushed over with warm eyes.

"Ouch, what is this? Why are there so many fish?"

Liu Shiwen ran a few steps and someone shouted again.

"Father, we were rescued. A very powerful child took action." Chen Xiaozhuo hugged Liu Shiwen and said in a low voice.

Liu Shiwen held down the pillar next to him and walked slowly over.

Then I saw a young man wearing a foreign robe pulling up the fake Chen Xiaozhuo.

"Hey, you're the best wild leopard!"

The prince laughed and kicked the foreign boy.

The young man screamed in pain, then jumped up and pounced on Prince Hengran, but was pulled away again.

"Where is that child?"

King Yikang's people arrived quickly and took away the fake Chen Xiaozhuo.

Everyone present was also led away one after another.

Chen Xiaozhuo and Liu Shiwen stood in the dark shadow of the corridor. Both father and son seemed to have experienced a life and death crisis.

"Let's go back."

After Liu Shiwen said that, he hugged Chen Xiaozhuo and turned around to go back.

At this time, Chen Xiaozhuo called out softly, and Liu Shiwen looked up and saw King Yikang standing at the entrance of the corridor where he turned.

He looked a little thinner. The palace lantern shone on him, and his eyes were filled with boundless tenderness and worry.

Liu Shiwen felt sour in his heart. He lowered his head slightly and walked with Chen Xiaozhuo from the other side of the corridor.

Chen Xiaozhuo has been looking at King Yikang.

King Yikang smiled at Chen Xiaozhuo, then turned and left.

Chen Xiaozhuo returned to the palace. Seeing that Chen Xiaozhuo was unhappy, Qingcai asked in a low voice what was wrong. Just now, Wang Guifei's people came and said that the charcoal here was divided by the wrong concubine, so they took the charcoal away and said it was the next one. Send it together again.

"The royal concubine is really too stingy." The palace maid rubbed her hands and said.

"It doesn't matter, I've already bought charcoal from elsewhere." Liu Shiwen calmly took out a bag of good charcoal from the cabinet on the side.

The palace maid was relieved when she saw it.

There is no way to survive this kind of weather without charcoal.

"These are enough. The weather will get warmer if we hold on for a while." Qing Cai also said with a sigh of relief.

"Yes, everyone in the palace said that we might have a warm winter this year." The palace maid said with a smile.

When Liu Shiwen saw Chen Xiaozhuo lying there looking embarrassed, he gave Qingcai a look, and Qingcai took the palace maid outside.

Liu Shiwen took the opportunity to take Chen Xiaozhuo back to the space.

After entering, Chen Xiaozhuo shed tears and said: "I...I asked those fish to help them." "

It's okay, it's okay, you did a good job." Liu Shiwen remembered that Chen Xiaozhuo in the book was Luo Xia Tian There is nothing in the water.

This time, it turned out to be in an ice cave. If Chen Xiaozhuo and the alien boy hadn't taken action, the fake Chen Xiaozhuo would have been lost this time.

"Father, I'm... so scared!"

Chen Xiaozhuo held it in for a while, and finally cried.

Liu Shiwen hugged him and waited for Chen Xiaozhuo to finish crying. Then he helped Chen Xiaozhuo make some honey water and said, "Since your father is already over there, nothing will happen to the child."

"I know. He has woken up." Chen Xiaozhuo nodded, he had been staring at the child.

Liu Shiwen touched Chen Xiaozhuo's head and he sat there.

"Brother Sanhuang recommended him. Why did Brother Sanhuang do this?" Chen Xiaozhuo turned his head and asked the question Liu Shiwen wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

"Third Prince?" When Liu Shiwen heard the name, he sighed and said, "I'm afraid he was also instigated by others."

"Yes, the Third Prince was also very frightened. He was crying hard over there. "Chen Xiaozhuo nodded and said.

"Oh, it's not good to be born into the royal family." Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and said.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked at Liu Shiwen and asked, "Is it because Xiaozhuo was born in the royal family, so those people will do bad things to Xiaozhuo?"

Liu Shiwen hesitated, and finally nodded.

Chen Xiaozhuo took a sip of hot water and said with an angry look: "I won't let them bully me at will. If they bully me again, I will beat them!"

Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo. He knew that as Chen Xiaozhuo grew older, His emotions will become more and more complex, and this place is no longer suitable for them to live long-term.

"Meow."

The orange cat appeared in the space.

Chen Xiaozhuo said nervously: "Why are you here? Aren't you responsible for protecting Grandpa Wang? Go back quickly!"

The orange cat flinched when he saw Chen Xiaozhuo, and then turned into a tiger lying there helplessly.

"What's going on?"

Liu Shiwen didn't expect these animals to get sick?

Chen Xiaozhuo sat there, thought for a while, and said, "Take me over and have a look."

The tiger stood up and glanced at Chen Xiaozhuo, and then turned into an orange cat.

The orange cat ran quickly, and finally meowed at a certain palace.

Chen Xiaozhuo's little sparrow slowly flew in and stopped on a branch not far away. He heard someone coughing inside the window.

People coming and going in the yard were mumbling words that Chen Xiaozhuo couldn't understand.

But soon someone Chen Xiaozhuo knew went in. It was the people around King Yikang who brought something in with them.

"It's the child who saved people who has a fever."

Chen Xiaozhuo said to Liu Shiwen.

"By the way, there's that child too. We need to send him some medicine." Liu Shiwen said and got ready.

"Let's take a look first. Dad has sent someone to deliver medicine to him." Chen Xiaozhuo sat there. He had been trained by the general and King Yikang, and now he was quite good.

Liu Shiwen looked at his nervous and serious face and sat back obediently.

Chen Xiaozhuo's little sparrow stayed by the window for half the night, waiting for the coughing behind him to gradually disappear, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Shiwen coaxed Chen Xiaozhuo to sleep.

The next morning, there was another trouble in the palace.

It was said that King Yikang was very angry because of the incident of "Chen Xiaozhuo" falling into the water last night, and he even vented his anger on Concubine Wang.

When the emperor heard about this, he sent someone to argue with King Yikang.

King Yikang finally took a few minions away, and the imperial concubine was also reprimanded by the emperor.

The consequence of this was that Concubine Wang got angry again and asked people to replace all the food on Libi's side.

"What does it have to do with us?!" Liu Shiwen didn't expect that it would fall on him in the end.

However, they have been in the cold palace for a long time and have already stored things in the house. There is still enough food for today.

Even the palace maid admired her, who would take the initiative to store food in the house?

But Libi can do it.

"Another thing is that the eldest prince Hengran seems to have fallen in love with our third princess. He is looking for his majesty to propose marriage. They all say that this is a good opportunity for Emperor Chen. If he accepts it, he will definitely be married by then. I will definitely help Emperor Chen."

Qing Cai whispered this, with a bit of nervousness in his voice.

The Cui family has been getting worse and worse recently. If His Majesty is allowed to marry Heng Ranguo again, wouldn't there be even less chance? Maybe the master he follows will also cause disaster.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor knows the true identities of these two people.

"Probably not. Your Majesty will never do this for the sake of the country." Liu Shiwen shook his head and said.

"But... this is a great opportunity, will your Majesty accept it?" Qing Cai lowered his voice and said.

"Just watch."

Liu Shiwen said confidently.

Sure enough, three days later, the eldest prince Hengran suddenly fell ill with a strange illness and looked a little shameful. The marriage he had previously proposed was declined.

Hengran's delegation was also afraid that something might happen to the eldest prince, so they hurriedly packed up their things and planned to leave.

As a vassal state, Furong State also expressed its intention to leave.

"That child is leaving."

Chen Xiaozhuo told Liu Shiwen that it turned out that the boy who rescued the fake Chen Xiaozhuo was Fu Yehu, the prince of Furong Kingdom.

"Furong Kingdom?" Liu Shiwen laughed when he heard the name. He remembered that this Furong Kingdom cooperated with the protagonist's son to destroy Hengran, and the prince of Furong Kingdom also became good brothers with the protagonist's son.

"Well, Furong Kingdom, the name is very nice." Chen Xiaozhuo looked at Liu Shiwen and said with a smile: "But that kid always felt that the name of his country was too... weak, and he didn't like being called Prince Furong. "Haha, is that true? "

Liu Shiwen touched Chen Xiaozhuo's head and said, "I remember he is already 11 years old. Don't call him a child."

Chen Xiaozhuo smiled. He barked inside the flowers and turned into a tiger.

The tiger looked at Chen Xiaozhuo, tilted his head and growled.

Chen Xiaozhuo turned his head after hearing this, looked at the tiger and smiled.

The tiger stood up suddenly, stood there blankly, and fell into the flowers with a thud.

Chapter 54: We agreed to sweep the tower together.

When Chen Xiaozhuo saw the tiger's appearance, he burst into laughter.

"What's wrong?"

When Liu Shiwen turned around, he saw an orange cat running away quickly.

Chen Xiaozhuo shook his head and followed Liu Shiwen towards the space yard.

"I've been in a mess lately because I haven't had much time to come here." Liu Shiwen saw that the rice fields were also golden and hadn't been harvested for a long time.

The ripe fruits in the orchard fell to the ground.

The livestock shed over there was even more messy, and some of the cattle and sheep were even sick.

Although it was said that Liu Shiwen used the worker's name to lure Shadow over to help him work.

But this will also consume the workers' energy and make them feel tired. They don't dare to use too much force for fear of noticing something is wrong.

And there are limits to what those shadows can do.

Liu Shiwen had to clean up the place that needed to be cleaned quickly, and the fish and shrimp in the pond were constantly sold.

Because of the season, the price of fish and shrimp is better in winter.

The money in Liu Shiwen's arms kept rising, and he sold rarer and more valuable fish, shrimp, shells and other things at higher prices and put them in.

This kind of thing has a longer growth period, so you don't need to pay attention to it all the time.

"Quack quack."

All the ducks in the pond were also sold. Because ducks like to fly around, Liu Shiwen recently bought a few swans and kept them there without any time to care about them.

Chen Xiaozhuo was very surprised to see it.

He said hello to the swan and followed Liu Shiwen towards the livestock house.

The current barn already has a certain scale, but simply increasing the size will look a bit messy.

Liu Shiwen sold a large amount of the cattle, sheep and pigs here, and finally folded up the livestock shed and placed it at the foot of the hillside.

A clearing was opened directly over there.

"Get out of the way."

After Liu Shiwen said that, he threw out a large amount of money in his hand. Soon, you could see a circle of tall fences growing up first, and then different houses began to be built in different areas.

Although Chen Xiaozhuo found the scene in front of him magical, he was no longer frightened.

"This is probably going to take a while to complete. Xiao Zhuo, please show some favor to me." Liu Shiwen said.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded and kept throwing out the good-favored peaches he had collected. You could see that the house appeared faster and faster.

Liu Shiwen touched Chen Xiaozhuo's head, but he didn't expect that his son's golden finger was also an accelerator.

"Okay, there will be a pasture here almost tomorrow." After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, he took Chen Xiaozhuo out.

"It's not that cold today."

After Liu Shiwen opened his eyes, he heard voices asking for money outside.

"Master, are you awake?" Qingcai said. It turned out that the envoys had begun to leave one after another. Today was already New Year's Eve.

"Huh? So fast?"

Liu Shiwen has been passing by without any concept of time recently.

"Yes, I heard that the Cui family will set off fireworks in the imperial city tonight, and everyone is waiting to see it." Qingcai added that Chen Xiaozhuo fell into the water two days ago, and King Yikang planned to pray for him on the first day of the new year.

"I know."

Chen Xiaozhuo said with a small face on the side.

Qing Cai smiled and then backed out.

Chen Xiaozhuo snorted and packed it up himself.

"Prince Wen Ji's birth is really great."

The palace maid came over to comb Chen Xiaozhuo's hair. Chen Xiaozhuo in the mirror had fair and tender skin. When he closed his eyes slightly, he looked like a little fairy in a painting. Then he couldn't help praising her. .

"Sister Broken Flower is also good-looking." Chen Xiaozhuo didn't forget to improve the palace maid's favor towards him when he got up early in the morning.

The palace maid laughed softly at what he said, and helped Chen Xiaozhuo clean up carefully.

"Let's go, we have to go to the Queen's house." Liu Shiwen said and was about to take Chen Xiaozhuo towards the Queen's palace.

Although the Queen is ill now, His Majesty has no intention of abolishing the Queen.

No matter what you think in your heart, you still have to show respect on the surface.

But when Liu Shiwen walked over, he heard Wang Guifei giving orders before he even entered.

He paused for a moment, then stepped in.

"Oh, who do I think this is? It turns out it's Concubine Li." Wang Guifei opened her mouth and started to sarcastically.

Yesterday was the first time she had taken charge of such a banquet, but Liu Shiwen made it look awkward.

Later, His Majesty the Emperor blamed her when the child fell into the water. It was really abominable.

Liu Shiwen walked over and covered Chen Xiaozhuo's ears with his hands. He sat there with an expression on his face and said nothing.

When Wang Guifei saw him like this, she became even more angry and said with a ferocious smile: "What are you pretending to be there? Don't think that you can make people forget the dirty things you have done by using the title of Li Concubine now." It's over!"

"My dear concubine, today is the New Year's Eve. Do you really plan to say these things here? I am Concubine Li and it is your Majesty's decree. If you have any objections, you can tell your Majesty when the time comes. Your Majesty will take care of it." Liu Shiwen frowned and looked at Wang Guifei and shouted.

"How dare you speak to me like this!" Wang Guifei was about to explode.

"The Queen has arrived."

At this moment, the Queen arrived. Wang Guifei thought for a while, and finally just glared at Liu Shiwen fiercely, then led everyone to salute and waited for the Queen to come.

The Queen has been ill these days, and the eldest prince hardly comes out to see anyone in the palace.

Although the Queen's family is still working hard, everyone knows in their hearts that His Majesty can't spare his hands now. When he does, he will naturally deal with the Queen and the Queen's family.

"Everyone, get up. Today is New Year's Eve. I can't sit down much because I'm sick. If you have anything, just ask Concubine Wang."

The queen sat there and pointed at Concubine Wang with a cold voice.

Concubine Wang immediately smiled when she heard this, said yes, and then talked enthusiastically to the queen.

The queen spoke to her for a few words, then held her head and said she felt a little uncomfortable and went back first.

After the queen left, Wang Guifei snorted, turned around and began to lecture the various concubines.

There should also be a vigil on New Year's Eve.

Everyone didn't want to go to places like the Shou Temple, and they were very docile at the moment.

"Li concubine, go and clean the tower. Remember to clean it thoroughly. If there is any unclean place, I will ask you only!"

Wang Guifei said harshly at the end.

When Liu Shiwen heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He remembered that this matter was all left to the palace people, and it was a hard job. He didn't expect that it would fall on him this year.

But he also thought that the tower was the Cui Family's Imperial Pagoda, and he wondered if King Yikang would go there?

Although they were close these days, there were not many opportunities to meet. Liu Shiwen also had some emotions in his heart, but he wanted to meet.

"Okay." Liu Shiwen responded with a smile.

Seeing him so happy, Wang Guifei naturally knew what he was thinking. A trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes and she waved her hand for Liu Shiwen and his son to go down and get ready.

Chen Xiaozhuo was a little curious when he heard that the tower was to be swept.

"It's not a good job, but it's always good to go to a higher place during the New Year. Maybe you can see the fireworks banquet or even meet your father." Liu Shiwen said.

"Really? Will dad come here too?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked in surprise.

Liu Shiwen thought for a while and said, "I may not come here, but it is possible. After all, this tower belongs to the Cui family."

"Great, then I have to prepare more delicious food for dad this time." Chen Xiaozhuo was happy It's about to jump up.

Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo, and the smile on his face gradually faded away. The job assigned by Wang Guifei this time was too targeted at him, and it might be deceptive.

I just don't know who is giving the orders behind Wang Guifei.

"Xiao Zhuo."

After much deliberation, Liu Shiwen still had to find King Yikang for protection. By the way, he also reminded him that he would go over to sweep the tower tonight.

Liu Shiwen wrote a small note, stuck it under the sparrow's wing, and went to find King Yikang.

The little sparrow circled around, waiting for someone from King Yikang's side, and then landed on the window sill.

After King Yikang saw it, he stretched out his hand to the little sparrow with a little smile in his eyes.

This time the little sparrow jumped onto his palm and flapped its wings. King Yi Kang was slightly surprised when he saw the note.

After he read the content on the note, the smile on his face deepened, but he quickly wrote a letter to reassure Liu Shiwen that he would clean up.

After Liu Shiwen saw the note, he felt inexplicably excited. When he turned his head, he found that Chen Xiaozhuo was looking at him with a look that could read your mind.

"Will Father Wang come over tonight?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked.

"Not necessarily. I didn't ask him to come. I just asked him to protect us. He also has something to do tonight." Liu Shiwen seemed to be telling himself.

"Okay." When Chen Xiaozhuo saw Liu Shiwen say this, he spread his hands helplessly.

When Qing Cai heard that his master had been assigned this job, he immediately expressed his willingness to follow him.

"That's all, the imperial concubine told me to do it by myself. If you help, it will make it easier for me to do bad things." Liu Shiwen said.

"That's right, we can't go to that kind of place." The palace lady said hurriedly because she was afraid that she would go to ask for money and it would be bad if she didn't go.

"Hmm, you guys stay here and guard the house. We will be back soon." Chen Xiaozhuo was also afraid that asking Cai to follow him would delay his meeting with his father.

"Well, master, be careful." Qing Cai said with a salute.

"Okay." Liu Shiwen responded. He was not unprepared. If he really encountered a special danger, it would be feasible for him to take Chen Xiaozhuo and hide in the space.

"Let's go."

Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo towards the sacred tower.

After the Chen family settled in the palace, there were some reasons why they had not been able to clean up the pagoda.

I heard that this divine tower is where the dragon's energy is. If the tower is damaged, the dragon's energy will be lost.

When the pagoda is in danger, something happens in the palace.

Mrs. Chen herself had a guilty conscience. If she ruined it blatantly, it would be easy for her to fall into disgrace.

So the sacred tower remained like this.

Every year, as usual, someone goes up to sweep the tower, and this year it was Li Bin.

"Please change your clothes before going in." When they arrived at the foot of the tower, Liu Shiwen and his son were asked to change into clean cotton clothes and wear a layer of Buddhist robes.

The scars on Liu Shiwen's face are not visible at night. He has an upright stature and a good temperament. Putting on this Buddhist robe, he looks like a monk from the world.

"Xiao Zhuo, let's go." Liu Shiwen heard that except for the first three floors, there was no one above.

He took Chen Xiaozhuo in. After entering, he bowed according to the rules and bowed one floor at a time. When he reached the fourth floor, a faint smell of medicine drifted over.

Chapter 55 A Family of Three

"Who's there?"

Liu Shiwen called out with a little excitement in his voice.

Someone coughed in the corner, and then walked out. He was also wearing the same Buddhist robe, with very handsome features and a gentle smile in his eyes that no one else could see. It was King Yikang.

"Dad."

Chen Xiaozhuo ran over excitedly.

King Yikang smiled and bent down to hug Chen Xiaozhuo.

"Huh." Chen Xiaozhuo turned away at this time, looking suddenly angry.

"What's wrong? Are you still angry with dad?" King Yikang asked with a smile, pinching Chen Xiaozhuo's ears with his fingers.

"No." Chen Xiaozhuo said, looking away.

"Dad, that was an act. You don't know, but I miss you in my heart." King Yikang said in a suppressed voice. Chen Xiaozhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he asked with a straight face, "Really?

" King Kang opened his eyes and nodded quickly.

"Okay, actually I know." Chen Xiaozhuo hugged King Yikang's neck and said affectionately.

Seeing him laughing in a low voice and praising Chen Xiaozhuo, King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen. He hugged Chen Xiaozhuo with one hand and extended his hand to Liu Shiwen.

"Why is the prince here at this time? Aren't you going to go up to the tower to greet the people?" Liu Shiwen looked at King Yikang and took two steps forward.

King Yikang said without changing his expression: "I am weak, and I will only catch the wind when I go there. Just send Cui Jiu there."

"It won't be so early." Liu Shiwen said, looking down and seeing the clothes on King Yikang's shoes. Still stained with soil.

King Yikang said with a smile: "I was afraid of tiring you, so I took people to clean this place in advance. It's not good to work on New Year's Eve."

"The prince is not in good health, so don't work so hard." Liu He came over and hugged Chen Xiaozhuo.

King Yikang glanced at Liu Shiwen and said, "Fortunately, the medicine you gave me is quite useful."

After saying this, he coughed twice.

Chen Xiaozhuo came over and patted King Yikang. King Yikang's face was obviously much paler than before.

"Good son."

King Yikang saw Liu Shiwen coming over with a box in his hand, and he reached out to take it.

"Bring some food here and prepare to watch the fireworks here at night." Liu Shiwen explained.

King Yikang heard this and said, "You are the first to watch the fireworks from this sacred tower."

Only then did Liu Shiwen realize that this sacred tower was sacred in the eyes of the Cui people, and he smiled guiltily. laugh.

"Let's go, our family hasn't been reunited for a long time." After King Yikang finished speaking, he held the box in one hand and put his arm around Liu Shiwen's shoulder.

Liu Shi's face immediately heated up when he smelled it.

"The corridor is narrow, Prince, please walk in front." Liu Shiwen said in a low voice.

King Yikang looked at the stairs. He reached out and counted on the wall, and finally pressed a certain brick on the wall.

Liu Shiwen saw that the stairs that could only accommodate one and a half people had doubled in size, so that three people could pass.

"Cui's pagoda was originally built to prevent chaos in the palace. These mechanisms are very normal." King Yikang turned his head and looked at Liu Shiwen, and extended his hand.

"I want to come down and leave." Chen Xiaozhuo shouted when he saw this change.

Liu Shiwen put him down and held him with one hand, letting Chen Xiaozhuo hold King Yikang's other hand.

King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen and had no choice but to hold Chen Xiaozhuo's hand.

Liu Shiwen looked at him with more helplessness, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He didn't feel that it would be bad if his hand was held, but...

Liu Shiwen looked at King Yikang again, and he himself was not feeling well either. Say something and walk up the stairs.

"How high is this tower?" Chen Xiaozhuo walked with his two fathers again. He was very happy and asked one after another.

"Nineteen floors, each floor once contained different treasures." King Yi Kang said with emotion.

"Treasure?" Liu Shiwen asked pretending to be surprised. In fact, this tower was also described in the book. It was indeed a treasure tower. Even now, there is still an extremely valuable treasure hidden in the tower. Woolen cloth.

That is, the imperial seal inherited from the Cui family is hidden in this sacred tower.

Only those who are qualified to succeed Cui know this secret.

This is also one of the main reasons why Cui is still alive and well, and is not more openly destroyed than Chen.

The jade seal that Chen uses until now is the jade seal made by Cui herself, which was given to Chen by Cui.

This is how the saying goes.

"Yes, it's a big treasure, but it was a pity that it was looted earlier." The Yikang Dynasty looked up and saw that the murals in Cui's tower were all about Cui's majesty back then.

Although these are extremely exaggerated things, King Yikang still looks a little sighing and excited now.

"Dad, let's look up." Chen Xiaozhuo has not climbed the mountain yet and has been clamoring to go to the top.

"Slow down, the tower is still very high, and I will be tired from walking later." Liu Shiwen said.

"When we are tired from walking, let's take the ladder down." King Yikang said with a smile.

"What's that ladder?" Chen Xiaozhuo was curious when he heard it, and King Yikang shook his head mysteriously.

When Liu Shiwen heard about this ladder, he knew that it was something like a mechanical elevator built into the tower by Cui.

But it hasn't been used in these years. I'm afraid it's not safe. It's better to take the stairs.

"Xiao Zhuo."

Liu Shiwen still felt a little uneasy about tonight, so he called out.

Chen Xiaozhuo stopped and looked at Liu Shiwen, then smiled and blinked, saying that his little sparrow had been arranged according to Liu Shiwen's instructions, and he would report any movement.

Liu Shiwen stretched out his hand and asked Chen Xiaozhuo to come over. He had to hold Chen Xiaozhuo's hand to feel at ease.

"I have already cleaned up the wine bags and rice bags arranged by Wang Guifei, and they are surrounded by people arranged by me. Are you still worried?" King Yikang lowered his voice, came over and whispered.

"It's not that I don't believe in the prince, it's just that I don't feel like this and I feel uncomfortable." Liu Shiwen also felt that he might have been oppressed and was a little too vigilant.

When King Yikang heard the sound, he looked at Liu Shiwen, then walked to the other side, held Liu Shiwen's hand, and asked, "What about this?"

Liu Shiwen's fingers shook, as if they had been burned by fire. Instinctively, he wanted to throw it away, but his fingers were tightly grasped by King Yikang.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked at the movements of the two people, looked at Liu Shiwen with a smile, and said, "Father, please let me hold your hand."

"Ahem." King Yikang also didn't expect that his little move would turn out to be unexpected. Chen Xiaozhuo has long been noticed.

"Okay, kids, don't say this, let's go." Liu Shiwen said with a slightly trembling voice, leading King Yikang and Chen Xiaozhuo to walk up quickly.

On the tenth floor, there is an observation deck.

King Yikang said that the top had already been cleaned, so there was no need to go to the top.

Liu Shiwen turned his head and saw that King Yikang's face was a little pale and his breathing was not right.

"My lord, are you feeling unwell?" Liu Shiwen asked worriedly.

King Yikang shook his head, but his breathing became more and more uncomfortable. Liu Shiwen was so frightened that he hurriedly took out the medicine package from the box next to him.

"Maybe I left in a hurry, but I'm much better now." King Yikang looked better after smelling the medicine package.

Chen Xiaozhuo also looked at King Yikang nervously.

"It's okay, look outside, don't let me disappoint you." King Yikang said and pressed twice on the viewing platform. You can see a clear glass cover falling down, but you can see farther. place.

"The fireworks haven't started yet," Liu Shiwen said.

"Right away." King Yikang leaned over and took a look. After he finished speaking, something exploded outside.

King Yikang was actually frightened and took a step back.

When Chen Xiaozhuo and Liu Shiwen saw this scene, they both had meaningful smiles on their faces.

"What?" King Yikang faced the almost identical expressions of the two people. He deliberately pretended to be calm and said, "It's started. Let's see."

"Wait a minute."

Liu Shiwen said and took a small pot from the box . , there are three more cups to come.

"The sweet soup is still hot." Liu Shiwen said and poured three cups over. Chen Xiaozhuo next to him spread a blanket over there, and the three of them gathered together to cook there.

"Dad, please try it, there's this." Chen Xiaozhuo also took out his cherished cream ice cream.

King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen in confusion when he saw the thing.

"Xiao Zhuo's favorite. I don't let him eat too much. The prince helps him eat a little." Liu Shiwen remembered that the taste of King Yikang was similar to that of Chen Xiaozhuo.

King Yikang tried to eat a little. He was startled by the coldness at first and looked at Chen Xiaozhuo worriedly.

Chen Xiaozhuo laughed to himself and took a bite, swaying happily from side to side.

"Did you make it yourself?" King Yikang also found it delicious after a while. He could taste a little sweetness and knew it was good.

"Learn from the book." Liu Shiwen said, taking out another piece of Lingquan Ice from the box and putting it into the sweet soup.

King Yikang felt that the Lingquan Bing was extraordinary when he saw it, and when he saw that Liu Shiwen only gave him the sweet soup, he said distressedly: "What kind of precious medicinal materials are these? You use some yourself, and give the rest to me." "

My lord, please use it. Xiaozhuo and I always have it," Liu Shiwen said.

King Yikang took a sip, not to mention that the thick sweet soup had a different taste after adding the round ice. It even seemed to taste better the more he drank.

Chen Xiaozhuo saw a satisfied smile on King Yikang's face, hugged King Yikang happily, and said, "Daddy will get well soon."

"Okay." King Yikang responded in a vague voice, and looked up. Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen raised his cup and signaled to King Yikang. King Yikang smiled and clinked the cups with Liu Shiwen, and then the family of three slowly drank the sweet soup.

"Let's go to the top."

After finishing the sweet soup, a round of fireworks started going off outside. King Yikang and the three of them were all warm and walked towards the top of the sacred tower with a smile.

Chapter 56: I like it very much.

There are nineteen floors in total. The higher you go up, the more you can feel the smell of decay and decay. Even the statues of gods on each floor look a bit scary.

"Don't look at those statues. Each layer of the statues here has been slightly adjusted and changed. If you look at them too much, you will feel that the statues are alive and a bit scary." King Yikang stretched out his hand to cover Liu Shiwen and his son. Eye.

Liu Shiwen was not surprised to know these things, but Chen Xiaozhuo was so frightened that he hugged King Yikang tightly.

"Let's go, just pass the eighteenth floor." King Yikang said and continued to lead the two people up.

The last three floors are wider, and the interior layout becomes more and more exquisite.

Liu Shiwen had heard about this sacred tower from books, and now that he had entered it, following King Yikang, he felt inexplicably amazed.

"Come here."

King Yikang gently took Liu Shiwen's hand and closed the door on the nineteenth floor.

The ancestral tablets of the Cui family are enshrined on the 19th floor. Naturally, they were replaced after the Chen family moved in.

Now that King Yikang came here, he naturally changed again.

"Xiao Zhuo, come and pay homage to your ancestors." After King Yikang said this, he took incense and came over. When Chen Xiaozhuo saw that it was no longer a statue of a god, he nodded obediently and followed King Yikang to worship.

"You come too." King Yikang glanced at Liu Shiwen and said.

"Your Majesty, you and Xiao Zhuo are both Cui family members, but I am not." Liu Shiwen reminded with a smile.

"I said it's you, come here." King Yikang turned his back to Liu Shiwen and stretched out his hand, his voice a little hoarse.

Liu Shiwen was stunned for a moment. He looked at the tablets and his face became hot.

"Dad, come here." Chen Xiaozhuo didn't know much about the relationship here, and he was a little nervous himself, so he called Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen knelt down awkwardly and also bowed.

King Yikang was particularly respectful. When he heard that he asked his ancestors to bless Chen Xiaozhuo and Liu Shiwen, Liu Shiwen felt softer in his heart.

Generally speaking, it is natural to protect Cui's great cause, but now King Yikang actually puts himself and Xiaozhuo in such an important position in his heart.

King Yikang arranged the incense for the three of them.

Then he turned around with a bright and happy look in his eyes.

The fireworks outside started to go off again. Standing on the tenth floor, you can see the beautiful scenery in front of you more clearly.

"This is our first New Year's Eve together." King Yikang looked outside and said softly.

"Then... have a drink?" Liu Shiwen said and opened the box. There were a lot of things in the box, including food and drink to keep warm, and even the things Liu Shiwen brought to kill boredom.

King Yikang grinned when he saw this and said, "You two are really here to have fun."

"Hehe." Liu Shiwen smiled, took a drink and said, "I also knew that the prince would come, so the three of us came together. "

When King Yikang heard what he said, he glanced at Liu Shiwen, and then drank the glass of wine.

"Your Majesty, please slow down." Liu Shiwen said.

"I am not so weak." King Yikang said, reaching out and wiping the corners of Liu Shiwen's mouth.

Liu Shiwen lowered his head in embarrassment and took the handkerchief himself.

"It's nothing, I just want to touch you." King Yikang drank some wine and spoke more relaxedly.

Liu Shiwen was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to say something, the fireworks outside were set off.

Chen Xiaozhuo started to look at it, but later became a little scared and hid in Liu Shiwen's arms.

King Yikang looked at Chen Xiaozhuo like that, stretched out his hand to pull him over, and said, "Your father is tired of taking care of you on weekdays. Come to me."

There was another sudden sound outside.

Chen Xiaozhuo shouted, and King Yikang was also startled.

"Father Wang is also afraid of fireworks!" Chen Xiaozhuo shouted into Liu Shiwen's arms based on the principle that he could not lose face alone.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just..." Before King Yikang finished speaking, a ball of fire suddenly shone on the window and exploded with a bang.

King Yi Kang paused and his eyes widened. Liu Shiwen smiled and stretched out his hand to pull King Yi Kang.

"Nonsense!"

King Yikang shook his hand away, stood up and took a look outside.

"Chirp."

The voice of the sparrow came from the tower.

"Someone is coming." Chen Xiaozhuo called.

Liu Shiwen looked at King Yikang in surprise. He thought that King Yikang had completely taken care of things.

"Ms. Chen probably thought I came here today to get something, so I sent people to surround me. You go first." King Yikang sneered and stretched out his hand to push away Cui's ancestral tablet.

Inside is Cui's ladder.

"I've already asked people to clean it up. I promise nothing will happen. When you get down there, walk along the secret passage." King Yikang said.

Liu Shiwen glanced at King Yikang and said, "Your Majesty, please come with us."

"No, I have to stay here. I still have things to do." King Yikang looked at the increasingly lively fireworks outside and turned his back. Said to Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen's heart skipped a beat.

"Don't worry, I remember what you said, I won't end up here." King Yikang added as if he knew Liu Shiwen's worries.

Although Liu Shiwen knew in his heart that the ending of King Yikang was not here, he thought about the plot and found that there had never been a scene where King Yikang ascended the tower.

"Could it be that I didn't avoid the plot well, and instead harmed him?" Liu Shiwen felt guilty and blamed himself.

"Chirp."

The sparrow flew over and landed on Chen Xiaozhuo's hand.

"Dad is not okay. There are many people outside, and some are coming up." Chen Xiaozhuo said anxiously.

"Let's go quickly," King Yikang said.

Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo for two steps, then turned around and walked to King Yikang's side, holding his hand.

"Come with us." Liu Shiwen said.

"Nonsense!" King Yikang frowned. He lowered his voice and said, "I still have things to do here. It's not a joke."

"It shouldn't be done here at all. Come with me!" How could Liu Shiwen do that? Are you allowing King Yi Kang to mess around outside of the plot? That is really not reassuring!

When King Yikang heard Liu Shiwen's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then Liu Shiwen vigorously pulled him into the ladder.

Liu Shiwen clicked twice on the ladder mechanism, and the ladder began to fall slowly with a clang.

"There are so many people."

Chen Xiaozhuo shouted, and Liu Shiwen covered his mouth.

The ladder swayed back and forth twice, and King Yikang put his arms around Liu Shiwen and the two of them. As their breathing mingled, Liu Shiwen's heartbeat kept accelerating.

"You were really awesome just now." King Yikang said softly at this time.

Liu Shiwen's heart was suddenly pulled by the voice, and he didn't even know what he should answer.

"But I like it, I like it very much." King Yikang's face was so close that the tips of Liu Shiwen's ears burned.

Suddenly someone said in the quiet atmosphere: "Dad, I want to pee."

King Yi Kang and Liu Shiwen said: "!

"I want to pee! "Chen Xiaozhuo became anxious.

"Did you drink too much sweet soup just now? Liu Shiwen lowered his head and asked anxiously: "Can you hold on for a little longer?" "

Chen Xiaozhuo suppressed his voice and nodded.

"We're almost there. "King Yikang heard that his son wanted to pee and said quickly.

"Zhiqua. "

Suddenly the ladder stopped.

"Someone is coming! "Chen Xiaozhuo yelled.

Liu Shiwen was thrown hard by the sudden pause and fell to the wooden wall of the ladder.

"Someone stopped the mechanism on top. "King Yikang glanced at it, and then quickly pressed a few times on the ladder.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of the rope breaking and falling came over.

"Don't worry, I have let the ladder mechanism support it. It will be okay if the rope breaks. Son. King Yikang said as he took out a soft sword from his body. He seemed to be smashing the side of the ladder facing the tower.

"I have an axe." "Liu Shiwen hurriedly took the ax from the space and gave it to King Yikang.

King Yikang glanced at Liu Shiwen, and couldn't ask why he brought an ax at this time. King Yikang held the ax and struck the wall a few times. Next.

According to King Yikang's explanation, the ladder is a passage opened on the inner wall of the tower. The passages are made of wood. This is also to prevent the same accident as today.

"Can you walk by yourself? I'm afraid there will be a lot of people when I go out. King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen and asked.

"Is it dangerous?" Liu Shiwen asked worriedly.

"There are not many people here." "Although Chen Xiaozhuo was scared, he still used the sparrow hidden in the shadow to tell King Yikang the location of the visitor.

"They didn't dare to hurt me. King Yikang said as he handed a small golden bundle to Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen knew it was the national jade seal when he saw it.

"Put it away and do whatever you want with it in the future." "After King Yikang said that, he kicked open the last wooden wall and walked out.

At that moment, Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo disappeared into the space.

"Is Prince Wang going to be okay? "Chen Xiaozhuo asked nervously.

"Take your sparrow back, what you are starting to say is not something you, a child, can see. "Liu Shiwen is quite confident in King Yikang's combat power.

Not to mention that it's not the time to quarrel with each other yet.

Chen Xiaozhuo took back all the sparrows when he heard what Liu Shiwen said. Although he was worried about King Yikang, But it was the first time I saw Liu Shiwen talking to him so seriously, so naturally I didn't dare not listen.

"Go to the bathroom, we can go out in a while." Liu Shiwen said and took Chen Xiaozhuo to the toilet.

Although he said he was not worried, his heart was pounding.

Although he still held a trump card in his hand, the current situation was still He was so nervous and worried that he was speechless

. "

Chen Xiaozhuo and Liu Shiwen were sitting in the yard.

They waited until the sparrow Chen Xiaozhuo left next to the ladder began to crow. Then Chen Xiaozhuo pushed Liu Shiwen and said that King Yikang was coming.

"Ahem. "

When Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo out of the ladder, he vaguely smelled a bit of blood.

But King Yikang's body was very clean.

"Wait here, I will tell you two to hide and rest on the sixth floor. , and did not meet me. "King Yikang left after saying that.

Not long after King Yikang left, a lot of people came. Seeing Liu Shiwen and his son huddled in the corner, they quickly gathered around.

Chapter 57: King Yikang's Revenge

"Help!"

Liu Shiwen shouted falsely when he saw the person coming, and then he was taken away.

Both he and Chen Xiaozhuo were rigorously searched, but nothing was found.

"Bring it in!"

Finally he was brought to the interrogation place.

"What are you doing? I was just lazy when sweeping the tower, why did you bring me here? Where is Your Majesty? I want to see Your Majesty!" Liu Shiwen shouted.

When the interrogating eunuch and nun heard what Liu Shiwen said, they smiled and asked Liu Shiwen what he had done in the tower and what he had seen.

Liu Shiwen only said that he took Prince Wen Ji to scan the tower for a while. He felt bored and tired, so he hid for a while and rested.

They heard nothing as the fireworks roared outside.

"You really didn't hear anything?" the eunuch asked again, and Liu Shiwen also shook his head.

Let's talk about Chen Xiaozhuo. Chen Xiaozhuo started crying after being asked two or three questions, and he couldn't answer anything.

"Father-in-law."

Someone came outside and said before letting Libi and her son back.

Waiting for Liu Shiwen and his son to go out, they heard a rumble outside.

"Ouch, what's going on? Why is that tower on fire?!"

Someone suddenly shouted, and Liu Shiwen turned around suddenly when he heard it and saw that Cui's sacred tower started to burn for some reason.

"The water is leaking!"

someone shouted.

In any case, a fire in the palace on New Year's Eve is not a good sign, let alone this mysterious tower.

Emperor Chen heard that he had not found any imperial seals from Liu Shiwen and his son, and that King Yikang had killed many people in the tower. It was even more difficult for him to go and inquire now.

Now that the sacred tower has been set on fire, it is very likely that the national jade seal has fallen on these three people.

Most likely it is in the hands of King Yikang.

The Chen family had been searching for so many years but could not find the national jade seal from everywhere in the pagoda and the palace.

The emperor originally planned to exchange Chen Xiaozhuo and his son, but tonight when the pagoda was opened, he became more and more certain that the imperial seal was inside the pagoda.

"Okay, very good!"

The emperor always knew that King Yikang was a madman, but he didn't expect that he would even light the last sacred tower of his Cui family.

Perhaps this was King Yikang's revenge for besieging the three of them.

The emperor knew that King Yikang was never easy to mess with, but every time King Yikang would always go crazy beyond his imagination.

No one could have imagined that the sacred tower would be destroyed in Cui's hands in the end.

The fire was so intense that the pagoda burned for seven days before it was gradually extinguished.

Looking at the dark pagoda, Cui's people cried around the pagoda for seven days, but King Yikang himself did not show up at all.

People outside were also talking about the fire in the palace. Everyone said that Cui was in trouble and even the pagoda was burned down, so why should we argue about it.

Mrs. Cui was even more anxious when she heard this. She said harshly that it was all Chen's doing, and Chen would soon receive retribution.

When these words were released, everyone was shocked.

Sure enough, commotion started soon in the palace. First, the third prince fell ill again, and then the princess was poisoned. Her face was ruined early in the morning.

"Yes...it was Concubine Li's hand!" Wang Guifei clung to Concubine Li Liu Shiwen.

But since Liu Shiwen came out of the sacred tower, he said that Prince Wen Ji was frightened, so he took the child and never left the house.

The emperor and others were naturally aware of the actions of these two men, and they indeed did not go out.

The incident of Wang Guifei can only be said to be a punishment from King Uikang.

Everyone knows that Wang Guifei has been targeting Li Bi and his son recently, and Li Bi and his son are the most important people to King Yi Kang, yet she dares to take action.

The emperor didn't have much reaction to Wang Guifei's accident. He sent many imperial doctors there, and most of them wanted to warn King Yikang not to go too far.

"Are you warning me?" King Yikang looked at the emperor with a stern smile in his eyes.

At this time, the emperor slightly regretted that he should not have taken action at the pagoda, especially that he should not have allowed Wang Guifei to let Li and his son pass.

If it really comes down to a fight between King Yikang and himself, the trouble will definitely be huge.

"Master, Cui Jiu is gone."

When the emperor came to talk to King Yikang, King Yikang's men ran in with a little bloody smell.

The emperor's eyes changed when he heard this, and he looked at King Yikang with murderous intent in his eyes.

Cui Jiu was the dark chess that he, Chen, had managed to cultivate, and he was also the person closest to King Yikang. Today he came over, but Cui Jiu was gone.

One after another things continued to stimulate Emperor Chen, and the craziness and power of King Yikang in front of him.

"It's such a pity that Cui Jiu was a good son of our Cui family, but it's a pity that he passed away at this time." King Yikang's voice was low and twisted with a kind of crazy energy.

Emperor Chen's eyes flickered. He gritted his teeth and said, "How come good people are gone?"

"Who knows, good people are gone as soon as they say no." King Yikang looked out the window and said: "But this is not so unusual in the palace."

"You mean the person who harmed you?" The emperor did not want to be beaten down by King Yikang at this time.

"You don't have that ability yet." King Yikang said disdainfully.

"Bold!"

The people around Emperor Chen suddenly shouted angrily, how could they listen.

"You are so bold!" People around King Yikang also gathered around.

Murderous aura filled the whole room for a while, until King Yikang coughed.

"Go ahead, I'm going to take medicine. I don't want to be disturbed by you." King Yikang waved his hand. Emperor Chen looked at King Yikang's appearance, sneered and said, "Then King Yikang should take good care of himself. Don't do too many bad things that will ruin your life."

"Same, Your Majesty," King Yi Kang replied coldly.

When the people around Emperor Chen wanted to say something else, Emperor Chen stopped them and then left with them.

After Emperor Chen left, Cui's people came over and asked King Yikang why Cui Jiu was missing.

"If it's gone, it's gone. Why do I have to tell you clearly that I killed someone?!" King Yikang shouted violently.

"But Brother Cui Jiu has mastered too many things about the Cui family. If he is gone for a while, everything will be inconvenient." Someone from the Cui family reminded him in a low voice.

When King Yikang heard this, he slowly ordered a few people to explain.

Everyone picked up what they heard, but the absence of Cui Jiu really made people feel like they were holding their own. The Cui people felt more and more that King Yikang was crazy.

"Everyone is gone."

Wait until Cui's people retreat.

King Yikang's men whispered something, and King Yikang closed his eyes and nodded. He looked outside and saw a light wind blowing. Spring was coming after the next year.

Cui's people have already arrived at the border, and they don't know how it is going.

Although Cui Jiu was someone close to the emperor, he did play a very important role in the Cui family. Now that Cui Jiu is gone, a lot of news about King Yikang has also been blocked.

But King Yikang didn't care. Who made Cui Jiu murderous towards Li Bi and his son?

"Xiao Zhuo, I wonder if hearing these things will scare me?" That's what King Yikang is worried about now.

On the other side, Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo to write and paint in the room. He strictly ordered Chen Xiaozhuo not to send sparrows flying around to get information.

Chen Xiaozhuo was also frightened inside the tower, and now he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could usually only talk to the orange cat in the space.

"Master, the flowers outside are blooming."

I don't know when, Qing Cai came in and said happily, and Liu Shiwen realized that spring had arrived.

"Spring has arrived..." Liu Shiwen remembered that good news would come from the border in spring, and Shu Ning'an would win a big victory!

And Cui's collapse also started here.

Liu Shiwen's heart went back and forth several times. When he walked in, he told himself repeatedly not to get involved in these things, and it was enough to just take Xiao Zhuocheng well until the plot was over.

At that time, he will be able to escape the shackles of the plot and lead Chen Xiaozhuo to live happily and freely.

When he first came here, King Yikang did not exist in his imagination, and he did not know that such a story would happen between King Yikang and him.

He still remembered that in the sacred tower, King Yikang came close to his ear and said that he liked it very much.

I still remember how King Yi Kang hid in the cold palace with them and cooked together.

Even the way King Yi Kang looked at him from the corridor.

He...

"Father, are you crying?"

Chen Xiaozhuo has been staying in the space and room since the New Year. He looks a little older than before. When he saw Liu Shiwen's tears falling, he took a handkerchief. Come over and help Liu Shiwen wipe it.

"It's okay, we are about to leave here, Xiaozhuo." Liu Shiwen hugged Chen Xiaozhuo and whispered.

"Really? Then...then..." Chen Xiaozhuo asked in a low voice where King Yikang was.

"I will take him away with me, but in the meantime a lot of difficult and crazy things will happen to him. Don't listen to it. I will explain it to you when you grow up." Liu Shiwen said in a low voice.

"Okay, I've been very well-behaved recently." Chen Xiaozhuo's face has also become thinner, and his eyes flicker with a vague sense of well-behaved vulnerability.

Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and nodded slowly, and said, "Let's go for a walk in the yard. The weather is nice today."

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded. After the two of them walked out, they found that the flowers and plants in the yard were indeed very lively. The captain came out.

"Let's try a set of punches and see." Liu Shiwen said.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded, and he moved seriously for a few times. Qingcai and the palace maids next to him saw Chen Xiaozhuo stretching seriously, and they all gathered around with a smile.

Chen Xiaozhuo cupped his fists and then hit him a few times.

It looked cool at first, but suddenly I forgot about it.

"Start again." Liu Shiwen said encouragingly.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded, and after holding his breath and adjusting his demeanor, he started fighting again from his feet to his head, and finally his eyes changed.

Wearing only a maroon robe, Chen Xiaozhuo combed his hair simply. The spring sunshine fell on his fair and handsome face. His movements and figure made people start to put away their smiles and look at him seriously.

After a set of punches, Liu Shiwen nodded with satisfaction. When he was about to speak, there was clapping from outside.

Liu Shiwen looked up and realized that the emperor had come with someone.

Chapter 58: Be Yourself

"Your Majesty."

Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo saluted hurriedly.

"Come on, Wen Ji is indeed a student of General Shu. He is very good." The emperor walked in with a smile.

When he approached, Chen Xiaozhuo instinctively took a step back.

"What? Wen Ji is afraid of his father?" the emperor asked with a smile on his face.

Liu Shiwen's expression changed and he looked at the emperor.

The emperor also felt the vigilance and anger in Liu Shiwen's eyes. He twitched his lips clearly, looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "The scar on your face seems to have faded a lot."

"Maybe it was in the house. You can cover it up," Liu Shiwen said lightly.

The emperor shook his head. He could clearly feel that the scars on Liu Shiwen's face had faded a lot, and even those scars could no longer hide Liu Shiwen's charm.

After experiencing these things, the emperor felt that he could no longer see the Liu family clearly.

If he hadn't been involved, King Yikang wouldn't have reached this point. Speaking of which, he was quite capable of making King Yikang like him so much.

"Go in and talk." The emperor said and walked in.

Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo and walked inside.

The maid carefully poured the tea and then was sent out.

"Sit down, I came here today to tell you good news." The emperor said.

Liu Shiwen knew it was about Shu Ning'an, and he looked at the emperor pretending to be confused.

The emperor looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and said, "Your master won the battle, he was very powerful!"

"Really?" Chen Xiaozhuo was really surprised when he heard this. His feelings for Shu Ning'an were still real, and his expression changed. .

"Really, I will reward your master well when he comes back, and then you can learn martial arts from him again." The emperor smiled and looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and said.

When Chen Xiaozhuo heard this, he thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "My master should be very busy, and I'm afraid he won't have time to teach me."

"Haha, with your master's character, even if there is no time, he will I took the time to teach you." The emperor said and looked at Liu Shiwen with deep meaning.

Liu Shiwen's face was full of embarrassment and vigilance.

"How do you feel when you hear this news? Concubine Li? General Shu has sent several letters to ask about you and your son." The emperor sighed.

"I am naturally happy to be able to bring glory to my country and my people will no longer suffer from war." Liu Shiwen said without changing his expression.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "You can talk better than before."

Liu Shiwen lowered his head and said nothing.

"General Shu is back, I am completely relieved." The emperor said that he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

When Liu Shiwen heard this, he glanced at the emperor. Having seen the plot, he could naturally understand how happy the emperor was now.

As long as Shu Ning'an comes back, everything will move forward smoothly. The protagonist's aura is maximized, and all the villains will fall to the ground in embarrassment when they bump into him.

"Li Bin, you should also think more about the future." The emperor said and looked at Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen looked at His Majesty the Emperor in confusion.

"The identities of you and Xiaozhuo are here. Whether it's serious or not, whether it's light or not, it all depends on how you choose." The emperor said slowly.

When Chen Xiaozhuo heard this, he shrank back towards Liu Shiwen again.

Liu Shiwen naturally did not forget how cruel the emperor was to his enemies, and Chen Xiaozhuo would always be a shame to him. He would not let himself and Chen Xiaozhuo go easily.

Even now he has changed into Libi.

"What does Your Majesty want from my concubine?" Liu Shiwen asked directly.

When the emperor heard the sound, he glanced at Liu Shiwen, his eyes flickered, and said: "Gu wants you to persuade King Yikang. If he can generously admit the change of imperial power and bow to Gu, then Gu can be generous. Let you live in the capital for a long time."

"Your Majesty, do you want to imprison King Yikang and my son?" Liu Shiwen did not expect that the emperor would make such a request and come with this condition.

"What? Don't you want to stay with King Yikang? If you are willing to leave King Yikang and leave anonymously, I can generously reward you father and son, so that you can live a safe and prosperous life." The emperor finished speaking. Looking at this, Liu Shiwen said, "It's just that if King Yikang knew about this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood."

"We won't leave by ourselves." Chen Xiaozhuo suddenly spoke from behind.

The emperor's face suddenly darkened.

"Your Majesty, please don't take what a child says seriously." Liu Shiwen didn't plan to break up with the emperor just yet.

The emperor adjusted his expression and said, "It seems that Wen Ji and King Yikang are very close."

"It's acceptable." Liu Shiwen looked at the emperor and said, "I will consider what your majesty said."

"Is that so? ? If you are sincere, you might as well help Gu find out where King Yikang kept the imperial seal? If he is willing to hand it over, it will be helpful to the Cui family." The emperor said with a smile.

"The Imperial Seal? Isn't that in the hands of His Majesty?" Liu Shiwen asked in surprise.

The emperor looked at Liu Shiwen with embarrassment and a cold expression. Now he couldn't tell whether Liu Shiwen was telling the truth or a lie.

"You will know if you ask him," the emperor added.

"But, now that I am a beautiful concubine, why don't I go to see King Yikang?" Liu Shi said in confusion.

The emperor thought of this. He had people pretend to be Liu Shiwen and his son in order to better control Chen Xiaozhuo and his son.

In addition, Concubine Shu interceded on behalf of Liu Shiwen and his son and used this method to save their lives, so that they would lose this name. If Chen Xiaozhuo and his son were gone in the future, they would not be able to use this name to link up any forces and avoid worries.

Otherwise, even if King Yikang is gone in the future, but with the name Chen Xiaozhuo still around, I am afraid Cui will make a big fuss.

But what he didn't expect was that after King Yikang entered the palace, he would actually start acting when he saw the fake father and son.

From the emperor's point of view, King Yikang probably wanted to save the lives of the real father and son no matter what.

"Then it depends on your own choice. Chen Xiaozhuo and his son will always live in the cold palace, while Li concubine lives here."

The emperor looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "Now the entire palace knows that Chen Xiaozhuo and his son are with Yi King Kang is very close. If you can be your original selves again, then you will be allies with King Yi Kang and the Choi family in the future. "

"That means you can live in the palace if you become Li's concubine, but if you become Liu. Will the family have to be tied to the Cui family?" Liu Shiwen asked.

"Yes, Concubine Shu begged for you this time. If you do it back, you won't have such an opportunity again." The emperor looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "But if you can make a contribution, I will be alone." I will treat you father and son leniently."

When Liu Shiwen heard this, he looked at the emperor, with a somewhat mocking emotion in his clear eyes.

This made the emperor suddenly confused. In any case, he now had complete control over the life and death of the father and son.

No matter what choice they make, what awaits them will not be a good outcome.

But at this moment, he felt that Liu seemed to see something through him. His eyes flickered twice and finally became firm.

The emperor also felt Liu's decision at that moment.

"I choose to be ourselves." After Liu Shiwen said this, a slight layer of sweat formed on his back.

Although none of this would affect the plot, when he made such a choice in front of the emperor, he felt as if a layer of covering fog had been torn away, and his heart began to beat harder. Be strong.

Chen Xiaozhuo understood some of these words and some didn't understand them, but when he heard that he could become Chen Xiaozhuo again, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Very good." The emperor said with a ruthless look in his eyes: "King Yikang will be very happy when he knows about this."

Liu Shiwen simply bowed and did not answer any more words.

"Go, don't forget what Gu told you. I hope you can think clearly. Now that General Shu has won a great victory, Cui's defeat has been determined. Whether you can take good control of your own life depends on your ability to stand up. How much work." After the emperor said that, he asked Liu Shiwen to tidy up, and someone would take them to Youmingyuan in the evening.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Shiwen said, and the emperor turned around. He suddenly discovered that although Liu Shiwen had become Libi, his clothes had always been the same as those of Youmingyuan.

The emperor left without looking back.

"Great."

Chen Xiaozhuo clapped his hands. He was very happy to be able to return to Youmingyuan.

Liu Shiwen also had a faint smile on his face. Although he knew that the dangers he would face if he went back would increase exponentially, he had the confidence and ability to resolve it all.

"Master, what's going on?"

Qing Cai was stunned when he knew that they were going back to Youmingyuan again.

"It's nothing, it's just that I don't want to be a concubine anymore. Please stay here, please. It would be too dangerous to follow." After Liu Shiwen said that, he took Chen Xiaozhuo back to Youmingyuan at night with a small baggage on his back. there.

There were still guards standing at the door of Youmingyuan. When they saw the two approaching, they opened the door without changing their expressions.

"Are they still there?" Chen Xiaozhuo thought of the child pretending to be him. , "Probably gone." Liu Shiwen said and walked inside.

Before they pushed the door open, someone opened the door and saw King Yikang sitting there with someone. Everyone in the room looked at Liu Shiwen and his son.

"Prince?"

Liu Shiwen called out in surprise.

When Chen Xiaozhuo saw so many people, it was hard to call him daddy. He just opened his eyes in surprise and looked at King Yikang in confusion.

Today's King Yikang is dressed like a prince, extremely luxurious.

The people next to him were also reputable members of the Cui family. They were all suddenly summoned by King Yikang's order. According to King Yikang's instructions, they were asked to recognize the person.

Chapter 59: Admitting the Affair

"Let's all meet, this is..."

King Yikang's voice was light, his expression was a little twitchy, and there was a smile that couldn't be suppressed at the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand and pointed at Liu Shiwen and the two of them and said: "Cui's mistress Liu, and Cui's direct young master Chen Xiaozhuo."

"I've seen both of them."

The Cui family saluted with seniority, and some of them knelt down behind.

"No... I don't dare, I... don't count." Liu Shiwen's whole face was on fire, and he had been prepared for everything.

"Why doesn't it count?" King Yikang asked in a laughing and domineering voice.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This is Xiao Zhuo, but there is no doubt that he is of the prince's blood." Liu Shiwen dared to talk back to King Yikang. He brought Xiao Zhuo over and said seriously.

Everyone has known for a long time that King Yikang has a bloodline in the palace. The Cui family attaches great importance to the direct bloodline. Now that they finally met the real person, King Yikang also admitted it, so naturally he wanted to see more.

The child in front of me, if nothing else, even those who don't know King Yi Kang would know that he imitated King Yi Kang's appearance if he stood up and took a look at it.

"Is it a brother?" Someone suddenly said with some regret.

"What? Do you have any objection?" King Yikang's voice sounded dangerously.

"Don't dare, brother is very good, brother is very good." The man was frightened and spoke hurriedly.

When Chen Xiaozhuo saw those people looking at him like this, he couldn't help but stand next to Liu Shiwen.

Everyone then looked at Liu Shiwen, only to see that he had several scars on his face. Although Liu Shiwen's appearance and temperament were outstanding even with the scars, no one expected that a talent like King Yi Kang would choose Such a person.

"Okay, have you remembered everything clearly?" King Yikang asked, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then go ahead. Let's have a banquet in the palace tonight to celebrate, and ask people to clean up my house. We will stay there tonight." King Yikang ordered, and the people next to him hurriedly saluted in response, and then slowly 's left.

After all these people left, Liu Shiwen couldn't help but take a few more glances.

That book also gave a brief introduction to the Cui family. Now I can recognize a few of them, but the most important villain chess piece of the Cui family, Cui Jiu, is missing.

"What are you looking at? Do you find it unpleasant? I asked him to avoid you." King Yikang said.

"No, why did the prince come here suddenly?" Liu Shiwen said, looking at King Yikang, and put the baggage there himself.

"I know my own abilities, otherwise how could I protect you." King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "Tell me, what do you think? You could have saved your life, but you chose to You want to come back. This time is different from before. Shu Ning'an won a big victory, and it was only a matter of time before the emperor defeated our Cui family, but you chose to change back."

"There is nothing wrong with it, you just don't want to live with your name. "Liu Shiwen sat down and looked around the room. It didn't change much from before he left.

"Really? I thought you had made up your mind to follow me." King Yikang said while looking at his fingers.

Liu Shiwen laughed when he heard this.

"What are you laughing at?" King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen with confusion and a little anger.

"Nothing." Liu Shiwen waved his hand, took the teapot, poured himself some tea, and pushed Chen Xiaozhuo next to him.

"Son." King Yikang immediately smiled on his face when he saw Chen Xiaozhuo.

"Dad, you...why are you dressed like this?" Chen Xiaozhuo came over a little unfamiliar and reached out to grab King Yikang's robe, which was embroidered with dragon patterns.

"Does it look good? I'll dress you up too?" King Yikang asked.

Chen Xiaozhuo laughed when he saw it. He touched the longan with his fingers, looked at King Yikang again, and then threw himself into Liu Shiwen's arms in embarrassment.

King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen in confusion.

"Maybe I felt shy when I saw the prince dressed so handsomely." Liu Shiwen looked at King Yikang. When he was King Yikang, he was really a dazzling presence.

King Yikang was suddenly praised seriously by these two people, and he was a little embarrassed, and said: "How can a man look at his appearance?"

"Why not? If the prince is born ugly, Xiao Zhuo will not be born like this." It looks good." Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo's little face and said lovingly.

"That's right." King Yikang touched his face and said with a smile. In the past, he didn't like others talking about his appearance, but today he was more satisfied with it.

"But I hear what you mean, why do I seem to be just a tool?" King Yikang had a slightly different meaning.

Liu Shiwen smiled, then looked at King Yikang and said, "Your Majesty shouldn't have introduced me and Xiaozhuo to Mr. Cui so suddenly. At any rate, we father and son were prepared."

"It's nothing, I also received the call suddenly. This news made me excited, and I didn't expect it to be too difficult." King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "And you look good like this. I love you like this." "

Eh..."

Chen Xiaozhuo heard. When King Yikang said this, he actually made a disgusting and disgusting sound.

Liu Shiwen glared at King Yikang awkwardly.

King Yikang himself looked at Liu Shiwen with some confusion, and then looked at Chen Xiaozhuo helplessly.

"Uncle Wang, why don't we live here together? Why do you want to move there?" Chen Xiaozhuo hurriedly changed the subject and came to King Yikang's side.

"That's right, we were originally in the cold palace, how could we suddenly live with the prince." Liu Shiwen thought that this was too provocative.

"Everyone knows things now, so there is no need to say anything more. If you stay with me, I will live a happier life." King Yikang said.

When Liu Shiwen heard this, he said awkwardly: "That's all, Xiao Zhuo, I really can't do it."

"Are you willing to separate from Xiao Zhuo? Besides..." King Yikang wanted to say something more, Liu Shiwen suddenly said Coughing.

King Yikang stopped then and said, "That's it. My house is big, just sleep in the back room with Xiao Zhuo. You have suffered so much, so you should live in a better place."

Liu Wen thought that since the emperor had said that, there was no need for him to hide anything. After all, Youmingyuan was not safe enough.

"Okay." Liu Shiwen nodded, and King Yikang's eyes brightened visibly.

When Liu Shiwen came over, King Yikang hurriedly looked away to cover up.

Liu Shiwen smiled. Since he was moving to the other side, there was no need to unpack, so it was fine.

King Yikang sat there and tapped the table anxiously with his fingers. He wanted to ask the emperor what he had said to Liu Shiwen, but it was difficult to ask because Chen Xiaozhuo was here.

In fact, what's more important is that he wants to say something more personal to Liu Shiwen, but he hasn't told anyone, so he doesn't know how to open his mouth.

Especially when he was frightened back by Chen Xiaozhuo's disgusting and disgusting voice just after he said that.

"master."

The people from the Cui family outside ran over anxiously and handed King Yikang a secret letter.

King Yikang's expression changed slightly when he saw it, and then he looked at Liu Shiwen.

"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, go ahead." Liu Shiwen said.

"You guys can come with me. There's nothing to miss here anyway, right?" King Yikang stood up and said with a serious face.

Liu Shiwen thought about it and it was like this, so he got up and grabbed Chen Xiaozhuo and followed King Yikang away.

King Yikang arrived in a hurry and did not get any sedan. The three people were surrounded and walked towards the palace where King Yikang lived. They saw many palace people along the way.

Most of the people in the palace knew Liu Shiwen and his son, and they looked frightened when they saw them following King Yikang in broad daylight.

The topic of Concubine Liu eloping with King Yikang spread rapidly in the palace.

"Mr. Cui is about to die, and Mrs. Liu still follows her. What a fool!" Wang Guifei heard the news and scolded her while applying medicine on her face.

Concubine Shu was stunned when she heard this, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Mrs. Liu does this, it will almost be an admission of her affair with King Yikang. Then no matter what happens, her brother will have nothing to do with Mrs. Liu.

"I'm afraid the eldest young master will still be sad. There are a lot of things sent to Chen Xiaozhuo from there these days."

The nanny next to Concubine Shu said distressedly.

"Sadness is inevitable, but this Liu family is really untouchable. I don't want my brother to get involved." Concubine Shu frowned and said, "My brother and I have other important things to do, and I think my brother knows it too. ."

Mammy nodded slightly when she heard this. Now that Shu Ning'an has returned with a great victory, naturally the blood feud of the Shu family will be avenged.

I heard that the queen's mother clan is desperately trying to find someone to intercede with her recently. The queen has also come to Concubine Shu several times and even said that she is willing to give up the throne.

Concubine Shu would naturally not accept these words.

All he could think about was the tragedy of his family.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Fireworks were set off again outside. It was set off by Cui's side. I guess I knew why.

"Your Majesty, okay, don't do this anymore."

Liu Shiwen stood in the room, looking at the fireworks outside, his face was extremely hot. King Yikang didn't like to do such things, but now he doesn't After doing it once, I'm afraid outsiders will say something if they see it.

"What's the matter? That's how Cui is in the eyes of outsiders anyway. I might as well do it while I'm at it, so as not to just help others bear the infamy." After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, he took some small ones to Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo has never seen or played with these things up close before, so he screamed excitedly after a while.

King Yikang also laughed when he saw it.

"Father, concubine." Chen Xiaozhuo brought the fireworks and ran to Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen took it with a smile and set off one himself. Watching the fireworks fly out of his hand and explode in the sky, Liu Shiwen's face showed a happy smile.

It's really ridiculous that he has become more and more ancient in the past few days since he came here.

"You are quite brave." King Yikang said in surprise as he rarely saw a brother holding fireworks like this.

Liu Shi heard the sound and laughed for no reason.

King Yikang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had said something too childish and exposed his slightly panicked intention of getting close to Liu Shiwen.

But when he saw Liu Shiwen laughing, with an expression he had never seen before, he couldn't help but laugh too.

Chapter 60 Pairs of Confrontations

Although King Yikang is said to be lonely and crazy in love, his feelings are actually very pure, especially when it comes to love.

When he smiles now, he looks more like a young and handsome man. His nose is as straight as white jade, his eyebrows are like stars, and his natural power is revealed. That kind of slight smile makes people look at him a few times.

When King Yikang saw Liu Shiwen looking at him with that seductive look, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand.

Liu Shiwen did not hide this time, but raised his arm and grabbed King Yikang's hand.

The two people, with their fingers trembling slightly, gradually came together.

"Dad."

Chen Xiaozhuo suddenly called out excitedly.

King Yikang was injured and helplessly turned his head and responded.

"Why are you holding hands again? Don't call me Xiaozhuo!" Chen Xiaozhuo said, running over and grabbing their hands respectively.

King Yikang didn't know what expression to use to deal with this situation.

"Finished?" Liu Shiwen spoke naturally.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded and rubbed his eyes.

"I'll take him to wash up." Liu Shiwen said, and King Yikang asked someone to prepare hot water.

After the water temperature was adjusted, flower petals were sprinkled in.

"You... wash up too." King Yikang said.

He didn't mean anything else, but after saying it, he felt as if he wanted to do something.

Liu Shiwen nodded slightly and followed Chen Xiaozhuo to wash himself.

When Chen Xiaozhuo reached the back of the shower, he had already started to yawn.

Liu Shiwen picked him up, and there was still a faint fragrance in the room. It was still a bit cool in the early spring night, so King Yikang asked someone to make the room warm.

"Drink water."

Chen Xiaozhuo rolled over as he lay there and said.

Liu Shiwen looked at his lazy look and smiled and got him some water.

The people next to him looked at Liu Shiwen's diligent appearance and didn't know what to do.

"You guys go down." King Yikang knew that Liu Shiwen came by himself, so he asked people to retreat.

Seeing the appearance of this family, the servants didn't know what to say. It was indeed time for their prince to start a family.

It's just that the place and the person who got married are a bit strange.

However, they did not dare to say anything more. After all, they had never seen King Yikang look at others like this.

Evil gods also have tenderness, everyone thinks so.

"Okay, you should sit down and rest for a while." King Yi Kang looked at Liu Shiwen, whose hair was still loose and walking around in a singlet.

Liu Shi turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a little impatient expectation in King Yikang's eyes.

"I'll do some hair." Liu Shiwen said.

"I'll help you." King Yikang stood up quickly. He took Liu Shiwen's hand and asked him to sit down.

The newly washed Liu Shi smelled the scent of incense that King Yi Kang loved on his robe. He was hugged black and you could see the red mole on his ears and earlobes.

King Yi Kang exhaled as if sighing.

Liu Shiwen turned around slightly and wanted to say something.

"Don't move." King Yikang held his shoulders, then gently combed Liu Shiwen's hair, and finally pulled out a hairpin and fixed it for him.

"The prince actually has such skills." Liu Shiwen said in surprise.

"I don't like others to touch me, so I learned it myself." King Yi Kang said and tidied Liu Shiwen again, and when his fingers fell, they caught Liu Shiwen's collar.

Liu Shiwen's robe was not too tight to begin with, but something almost happened this time.

King Yikang's eyes flashed darkly. He watched Liu Shiwen slowly turn around and look at him with a smile.

King Yikang's ears and eyes became increasingly dangerous.

He reached out and pinched a strand of Liu Shiwen's hair, as if he was studying something.

"Prince?" Liu Shiwen called out.

King Yikang looked at him fiercely. Liu Shiwen was not a fool, so he naturally knew what that look meant.

He was stunned for a moment.

In his opinion, King Yikang shouldn't be so fiery. Why is he so dangerous now?

"Is Xiaozhuo asleep?" King Yikang asked in a low voice.

Liu Shiwen looked at it in a panic, then nodded slowly.

King Yikang nodded seriously, looked at Liu Shiwen deeply, put his palm on his cheek, and said, "Don't move."

Liu Shiwen's heart pounded as he looked at King Yikang's face getting closer and closer. He jumped up and stopped suddenly at the last moment.

The spring flowers and the bright moon shine on both of us.

The room was completely quiet until Chen Xiaozhuo heard a cry from inside called "Father"

"Bang!"

Liu Shiwen covered his face for a moment, and then yelled in panic. King Yikang behind him slowly sat on the chair, trying hard to maintain a calm posture.

"Ah? What's wrong, Xiaozhuo?" Liu Shiwen asked, but Chen Xiaozhuo didn't even open his eyes, saying he wanted to go to the toilet.

King Yikang turned around and asked people to come in and wait on him.

After everyone left, Chen Xiaozhuo took a sip of water and fell asleep again.

"Father, why aren't you sleeping? What were you and dad doing just now?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked him confusedly for a while, and Liu Shiwen was so frightened that he didn't know how to answer.

He quickly glanced at King Yikang, but King Yikang was sitting there and laughed.

"It's okay, it's okay, you can go to sleep." Liu Shiwen coaxed him for a while, and Chen Xiaozhuo fell asleep again.

After he was sure that Chen Xiaozhuo was asleep, Liu Shiwen's heart slowly fell.

"Asleep?" King Yikang came over and asked.

Liu Shiwen glanced at him and found that King Yikang had a cheerful smile on his face and his eyes were extremely bright.

Liu Shiwen nodded, and King Yikang came over and stretched out his hand to pull him.

"My lord, aren't you busy?" Liu Shiwen asked.

"There's no rush at this moment." King Yikang said, pointing at Chen Xiaozhuo, and then pulled Liu Shiwen to sit in the outer room.

In order to prevent accidents, Liu Shiwen let King Yikang stay for a while, and then he took Chen Xiaozhuo to sleep in the space room before walking out.

"Are you settled? You won't wake up again, right?" King Yikang was also frightened.

"Probably not." After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, he glanced at King Yikang.

This is the outer room. Although the layout is good, it is also the place where the waiter sleeps. It is not good to ask him to stay here.

"Why don't Xiao Zhuo and I sleep outside?" Liu Shiwen said.

"No need, I'm not that delicate yet." King Yikang said and made tea for Liu Shiwen again.

"I won't be able to sleep if I drink it at night." Liu Shiwen only asked for plain water.

"Why can't you sleep? Don't you love sleeping the most?" King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen and said with a smile.

Liu Shiwen looked at King Yikang helplessly and said, "That's because I had nothing to do before."

"It's the same here. Could it be that I will let you do the work again?" King Yikang said and stood next to him. Liu Shiwen sat down.

The two of them were sitting on a low couch with a small table in the middle.

King Yikang felt that it was in the way and moved him aside.

Without the small table, Liu Shiwen had nothing to rely on.

King Yikang leaned over there comfortably and looked at Liu Shiwen sideways.

Liu Shiwen watched as he stretched out his arms and hooked his fingers. His body language told him to pass.

Liu Shiwen looked around, still a little embarrassed.

"Come here." King Yikang came over with a low and anxious voice and pulled Liu Shiwen over.

When the two of them came together, one's heart beat faster than the other.

Liu Shiwen laughed when he heard this.

As soon as he smiled, King Yikang pushed Liu Shiwen away, his whole face turning red.

Liu Shiwenwai whispered and couldn't stop laughing on the other side.

"Okay."

King Yikang shouted in shame. He reached out to bring tea to drink, and found that his fingers were trembling.

He laughed angrily when he saw it, it was so embarrassing.

"Master."

Someone outside whispered.

King Yikang's eyes suddenly became stern. Liu Shiwen knew that he was about to go down to the inner room, but was stopped by King Yikang.

King Yikang got up and walked outside. His men came over and knelt on the ground and handed the secret message to King Yikang.

After King Yikang saw it, he looked at Liu Shiwen strangely.

Liu Shiwen was stunned for a moment, wondering what the secret letter had to do with him.

"Go." King Yikang let his men go down, and then walked towards Liu Shiwen holding the secret letter.

"Prince?" Liu Shiwen called out in confusion.

King Yikang looked at the secret letter and then burned it directly.

A little bit of soot floated over, and King Yikang coughed.

Liu Shiwen slapped him twice.

King Yikang immediately laughed when he saw his actions and said, "Sure enough, a person should have someone who cares about him."

"Your Highness." Liu Shiwen didn't know what to say.

King Yikang smiled and held Liu Shiwen's hand and sat on the low couch again. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Your Majesty, it's okay. I will help you if I can. But I'm afraid that if I get involved too much, it will cause bad things and implicate Xiaozhuo and me." Liu Shiwen explained.

Seeing how serious he was, King Yikang laughed and said, "I don't want you to do anything, but I have a question I want to ask you." "

Your Majesty, please tell me." Liu Shiwen said seriously.

King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen, and said with a somewhat awkward and complicated expression: "We are all like that, how can you still talk about the same prince?"

"Ah? Not really..." Liu Shiwen thought, am I just doing as the Romans do? The emperor's wife still has to call him "Your Majesty."

"You know my name, right?" King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen and said slightly suggestively.

"Zhesui?" Liu Shiwen called softly.

King Yikang didn't expect the sound to be so loud. He bent and stretched his fingers and looked at Liu Shiwen with warm eyes.

Liu Shiwen took a step back when he saw him, thinking he was calling too directly? Do you want to call him Prince Cui?

"No one has called me that for many years." King Yikang looked outside and said quietly.

Liu Shiwen naturally knew that King Yikang had lost his parents when he was young, and most of the people close to him were intrigues and deceitful people. He stopped asking people to call him by his name very early on.

Thinking about it this way, I felt very pitiful.

Liu Shiwen took the initiative to hold King Yi Kang's hand and said: "If the prince does not dislike it in the future, I will naturally be willing to call the prince like this in the future."
