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

Chapter 294: Love in the Sadistic Story (41)

That person claimed that officials and businessmen in Jiangnan colluded with each other to sell illegal salt, and even committed heinous acts such as robbing women and seizing land, making the people in Jiangnan live in misery and full of complaints.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chengyun became furious and immediately sent Zhou Yuzuo to Jiangnan to find out the truth and restore peace to the people.

Sending him there could, firstly, appease the people, and secondly, demonstrate the emperor's majesty. After all, Zhou Yuzuo was the legitimate son. According to the emperor's wishes, if nothing unexpected happened, he would be the one to inherit the throne a hundred years after Zhou Chengyun's death.

But now, as the legitimate son, he must return as soon as possible to take control of the situation during this turbulent time when the emperor is in trouble.

"Mother, please let Big Brother take care of his affairs in Jiangnan peacefully."

As soon as Yan Qingxin finished speaking, Zhou Yulin brought a large group of people to surround the Yangxin Palace and walked in gracefully.

The person pinned down next to him was the confidant Yan Qingxin had just sent to deliver a message to Zhou Yuzuo.

"Could it be that the Third Prince wants to kill his father and force the emperor to abdicate?"

Seeing this scene, there was nothing Yan Qingxin didn't know.

A few days ago, when Zhou Chengyun came to her and told her not to worry about the future, she felt strange. She never thought that something would really happen today.

It seems that the Prime Minister's Office was accused of treason, Zhou Chengyun got into trouble, and Zhou Yuzuo was transferred out of the capital. All of this was manipulated by someone behind the scenes.

As for why Yan Qingxin didn't suspect that Zhou Yulin was the culprit behind the scenes, it was of course because the man in front of her not only looked stupid, but also didn't have such a large network of contacts. She was afraid that he was just a pawn pushed forward by the person behind the scenes.

After thinking it all through, Yan Qingxin heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Zhou Yulin as if he were a clown, but the anger was still on her face.

"What are you saying, Mother? Father has suddenly fallen ill, and my eldest brother hasn't returned yet. My second brother is imprisoned in the palace, and the remaining princes are all young. As Father's son, I must share his worries, only then can I be worthy of Heaven."

As he spoke, he raised his hands slightly towards the horizon. Soon, the people brought by Yan Qingxin, along with Li Zhu and the other concubines, were "invited" to the side hall.

Zhou Yulin even said that this was to protect them and prevent them from being harmed by villains.

Concubine Zhen, huddled in a corner, hugged herself tightly with her hands. She couldn't understand why the medicine she gave the emperor, which was supposed to make him unable to speak and walk, suddenly turned into a poison that made people unconscious?

However, she only dared to think this in her heart and didn't dare to say it out loud at all, otherwise everyone in the room would definitely cut her into pieces if they knew.

At the same time, she couldn't understand why her master asked her to give the emperor medicine, but not a poison like Hedinghong, which is powerless to save the life, but instead gave him this torturous medicine?

"Royal brother, oh royal brother, I never thought that you, who was so smart all your life, would end up falling into the hands of your own son."

In the main hall, Zhou Yulin was stroking the various decorations in the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a smug look on his face when a sudden sound scared him so much that he retracted his hand and hurriedly turned around to look behind him.

"Why is the emperor's uncle here?"

He felt a little puzzled. After all, according to their plan, the emperor's uncle should be dealing with the ministers now. How could he be in the Yangxin Palace?

"Tsk."

Zhou Chengde sneered and looked at his nephew who had not yet understood the current situation with contempt in his eyes.

He waved his hand, and then the two people behind him approached Zhou Yulin and directly suppressed him.

"Uncle, what do you mean?"
