Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

Xiao Huanzhi's forehead was covered with sweat. He raised his charming eyes and stared at the blush on her cheeks and the tears in the corners of her eyes. He first rubbed her nose with his nose, then hugged her legs. He sighed comfortably and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Zhu Baishao was so confused and excited that she couldn't answer at all.

Xiao Huanzhi curled his lips and smiled.

The opponents who were evenly matched on the chessboard were completely defeated in bed.

At dawn, the sky was dark blue.

When Zhu Baishao opened her eyes, she saw the person next to her leaning on his arm and looking at her, with a satisfied smile in his phoenix eyes.

She was stunned at first, and then she remembered what happened last night. She felt weak all over and immediately tried to support herself and step back, but she hissed.

Xiao Huanzhi stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, clasping his hot palms on her shoulders, and whispered, "Don't move."

Pressed against his chest, the man's body temperature continued to pass through. Zhu Baishao's body was stiff, her face was red and white, her eyes were slightly drooped, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me... relieve the effect of the medicine. I'm leaving now."

"Leave? Where do you want to go? Break into the Prime Minister's residence alone like you did last night?"

Xiao Huanzhi's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and his gaze moved from her neck to her face, with something quietly brewing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will be careful next time. I will repay you for the antidote one day."

Zhu Baishao's tone was somewhat awkward, and then she struggled to break free from Xiao Huanzhi's arms. She was not afraid of his gaze, and endured the discomfort. She lifted the quilt and went behind the screen to put on her clothes.

Xiao Huanzhi narrowed his narrow and sparkling phoenix eyes and stared at her series of movements. Wherever he looked, he saw everything smooth and delicate, as if he had just shaved his head.

Well, he touched it yesterday. It was natural. He remembered that it was written in the royal secret book that the emperor should not get close to the white tiger...

After experiencing the bone-gnawing and marrow-sucking beauty last night, Xiao Huanzhi felt that he had a new understanding of this sentence.

I am afraid that the night will be short and the sun will rise high, and from now on the king will no longer hold court early in the morning.

After all, even someone like him who thought he was strong-willed and selfless was somewhat addicted to it...

The two of them slept on the soft couch beside the hot spring. Beside them were several sets of Xiao Huanzhi's usual spare clothes. They were all black with gold embroidery, but with different patterns.

Candles were burning in the room, perfectly reflecting the woman's graceful and curvy figure on the screen. Xiao Huanzhi stared at her figure, thinking of her words to distance herself from the relationship. He couldn't help but frowned, his eyes dim, and an inexplicable irritation welled up in his heart.

Not long after, the woman with disheveled hair and bright eyes and eyebrows came out. She was wearing loose clothes, had a cold face, and eyes covered like autumn frost. There was no shyness in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Huanzhi.

But because of the previous love affair, she became even more cold and charming.

"Your Majesty, I will repay your kindness someday. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Xiao Huanzhi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did I let you go?"

Zhu Baishao's body stiffened, and then she turned around, her expression three points colder than before, "I wonder if the prince has any other instructions..."

Xiao Huanzhi sat up from the couch, and the quilt slipped down to his waist, revealing his naked upper body. His eyes caught a glimpse of the obvious scratches on his well-muscled body. Zhu Baishao's face did not show any signs of scratches, but his ears and neck were red.

"If you want to investigate the Zhu family, why not ask me..."

"The head of the Zhu family was once a minister, and his youngest daughter was the crown princess chosen by the late emperor. Although he disagrees with my political views, he is a true royalist and my preferred new imperial tutor. I originally wanted him to teach the new emperor, but I didn't expect that the Zhu family was wiped out and slaughtered before I even proposed it. A fire burned all the clues..."

"The murderer hid himself quite deeply. I investigated for a year before I found some clues. The current prime minister, the minister of war, and the minister of rites all intervened directly or indirectly because of the power struggle in the officialdom. Do you want to kill them by yourself?"

"I can help you."

The rhythm of his pronunciation had a kind of rhythm to it, and he spoke slowly at this moment, his eyes were deep with a slight light in them.

He felt a little strange in his heart. The youngest daughter of the Zhu family was once the designated Crown Princess and the future Queen. If nothing unexpected happened, wouldn't the woman in front of him be his niece's wife?

[What he said is true.] The system interrupted quietly.

Zhu Baishao didn't think too much about it. She shook her head and said directly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Goodbye."

The key to playing chess is to think before deciding.

According to Xiao Huanzhi's personality, the more you ignore him, the more he will think about it. Then Wen Yan will add fuel to the fire and make him go crazy.

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, but his pace was a little slow.

After all, the melon has just broken, and it is difficult for her to walk.

Xiao Huanzhi watched the woman disappear, and he covered half of his face with his hands and laughed out loud, "This is really interesting..."

……

Because the system prompted that no one was following her, Zhu Baishao took a shortcut back to Zhuxingju.

However, she did not notice that the door opposite her room was half open, and a figure was standing there quietly, his eyes just staring at her quietly, watching her walk back slowly but without any hesitation, with an obscure expression.

So her eyes are fine?

Zhu Baishao took three systemic drugs on the way.

In addition to the exhaustion from the night before, her strong body could no longer sustain the strain and now she just wanted to sleep.

The system noticed the anomaly and knew she was sleepy, so when it found there was no danger, it did not give any warning.

……

royal palace.

Xiao Jingchuan stood outside the window, listening to the occasional groans of pain from the bed in the inner room, with a chill in his eyes.

I thought it was useful, but not only did it fail to hurt Xiao Huanzhi, but it was also sent back with its limbs cut off...

Thinking of Xiao Huanzhi's words "small punishment and severe warning" in public, a fire burned in his heart. It was such a shame and humiliation for an emperor to be warned like this by his subjects!

At the morning court after daybreak, I'm afraid there won't be another group of ministers who want to curry favor with Xiao Huan and come out to advise me...

Just thinking about it, Xiao Jingchuan's back teeth were almost broken.

At the beginning, he was assisted by Xiao Huanzhi to ascend the throne. He was grateful to see his uncle fighting wits and courage with those court officials for him. There was even a moment when he felt that his uncle was more suitable to be the emperor than himself.

As he grew older, Xiao Jingchuan began to feel a different feeling in his heart as he looked at the people kneeling under the dragon throne.

However, the prestige and power that he, the young emperor, possessed were far inferior to those of the regent Xiao Huanzhi, which made him gradually feel unbalanced psychologically.

He is the emperor of Dachang! He is the monarch above all others!

From then on, Xiao Jingchuan was no longer the boy who admired Xiao Huanzhi.

……

The next day.

When Zhu Baishao woke up, the system said: [Host, when you came back last night, Wen Yan saw everything from the other side.]

"See? He had indeed noticed that something was wrong with me a long time ago." Zhu Baishao said while changing clothes.
