Shen Cuo clasped his fists and lowered his head: "I have been waiting outside the palace all the time, and rarely serve you. Naturally, I don't know what your majesty said or did."

"Haha, I don't know."

Li Hongting stared at Shen Cuo and smiled meaningfully.

"Are you blaming me?"

"Wei Chen dare not."

Li Hongting stood up and walked slowly around Shen Cuo. "I know you have a close relationship with the Concubine Xian. How about this? You will stay by the Concubine Xian's side from now on."

Shen Cuo looked up at Li Hongting in astonishment and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is against the rules."

Li Hongting waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I trust the virtuous concubine."

"I trust you, too."

"emperor……"

"Okay, this matter is settled."

Shen Cuo knelt on the ground and dared not move. The emperor was young but his temperament was unpredictable. He killed people without even knowing while chatting and laughing. He had seen this too many times while following him.

Seeing that Shen Cuo still couldn't get up, Li Hongting said earnestly: "Shi'an is my beloved, I will never let her fall into trouble again, do you understand?"

Is the dilemma he is talking about the State of Wu?

Shen Cuo silently replied with disdain in his heart: Her real dilemma is you.

After leaving the hall, Shen Cuo's face couldn't help but darken. He didn't believe that Li Hongting asked him to guard Lu Shian for Lu Shian's good.

When Lu Shian came over, he saw Shen Cuo standing outside the hall.

Seeing Lu Shian coming, Shen Cuo and Cheng An hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Concubine."

Lu Shian nodded to the two of them as a greeting: "Is the emperor busy now?"

Cheng An immediately stepped forward and replied: "The Emperor dotes on the Empress the most. Even if he is busy, he will still want to see her when he knows she is coming."

"Then it's all your fault."

Cheng An went in for a while and then hurried out: "Please come in, Concubine Xian."

"My beloved princess, you came at the right time."

Before Lu Shian even bowed, Li Hongting came forward happily and said, "Come quickly, my beloved concubine. I plan to let Shen Cuo protect your safety. What do you think?"

Lu Shian frowned: "I don't need anyone to protect my safety in the palace."

"If you were in the palace, you wouldn't be needed, but I know you love freedom by nature, so how could I bear to lock you up in the deep palace?"

As she spoke, Li Hongting took advantage of the situation and hugged Lu Shian in her arms: "Your Majesty is so kind to me."

After a pause, Lu Shian said, "Chen'er is not in good health. I want to take Chen'er to Lingyin Temple to pray for blessings."

"Okay, my dear, you can go wherever you want."

"The emperor is so kind to my concubine."

"Silly boy, you are my beloved concubine, so of course I have to treat you well."

Neither of them could see the calculation in the other's eyes.

"Oh, my beloved, come and help me look at this."

Li Hongting pulled Lu Shian to sit on the dragon throne, then picked up a memorial.

Lu Shian took it naturally. The memorial said that the south had a bumper harvest of grain this year...

Lingyin Temple.

The huge team stopped at Lingyin Temple, and the abbot went out to greet them personally.

After the worship, Lu Shian was arranged to rest in a side room.

When Lu Shian was the only one left in the room, there was a rustling sound coming from the cabinet in the room. Lu Shian was not nervous at all, but very happy.

When the cabinet was opened, Nanxing jumped out dressed in men's clothes.

The two hugged each other without saying a word.

Shen Teng climbed out of the closet, patted himself and said, "Okay, stop being so annoying and get down to business."

Nan Xing quickly pushed Lu Shian away and came to the bed: "Oh, what a handsome boy."

As she spoke, her hand had already placed on Chen'er's pulse.

"How is it?" Lu Shian stared at Nanxing nervously.

Nan Xing said seriously: "It's poisoning, and the poison is very strong."

Hearing Nan Xing say this, Lu Shian's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and tears could not help but fall: "Nan Xing..."

Nan Xing panicked when she saw Lu Shian crying, and hurried to comfort him: "Hey, hey, don't cry, I didn't say I can't cure it."

Lu Shian held Nanxing's hand tightly: "Are you serious? Chen'er will be fine, right?"

"Hey, don't get excited, I'm here, what are you afraid of."

Lu Shian happily hugged Nanxing again: "I knew you would have a way."

After the excitement, Nan Xing couldn't help but complain: "The imperial family is the most ruthless. They can even kill their own sons. Sigh."

"Maybe he never considered Chen'er as his own child."

At the beginning, Li Hongting was very concerned about Chen'er, but later he seldom asked about Chen'er's affairs, especially after the queen became pregnant, he became even colder towards Chen'er.

Nanxing didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only hold her hand tightly.

After a brief meeting, Shen Teng and Nan Xing exited the room through the tunnel.

I originally planned to return to the palace after meeting Nanxing, but who knew it would suddenly rain heavily.

Lu'er pushed the door open and said, "My Lady, it's raining. I'm afraid we can't go back today."

Lu Shian opened the window and looked out. It was raining heavily. "Then let's stay here for one night."

"Yes."

Lu'er responded and was about to leave when Lu Shian said, "Go call him over."

Lu'er understood that Lu Shi'an wanted to see Shen Cuo. Ever since Lu Shi'an came back from the emperor that day, Shen Cuo followed him back to Ganquan Palace.

There are many guards in the palace, but they are all there to protect the emperor. No empress’s palace has ever had guards, and those who do are just eunuchs.

Shen Cuo followed Lu Shian back to Ganquan Palace, causing a lot of discussion in the harem.

Especially the way they looked at Ganquan Palace was really wonderful.

Lu Shi'an certainly didn't care. She had probably guessed Li Hongting's intention. The people of Dayuan were praising her, and her contribution to farming was indelible, which made her extremely popular among the people.

In the eyes of the people, she was like a goddess who came down from heaven to save the world. Everyone praised the virtuous concubine endlessly, and the people's support for her even exceeded that of him, the emperor.

Lu Shian guessed that this was probably the reason why Li Hongting wanted to deal with her.

Her achievements surpassed her master's, which Li Hongting could not tolerate, even though this person was his wife.

When Shen Cuo came, Lu Shian was staring at the rain outside in a daze.

"Miss."

Hearing Shen Cuo's voice, Lu Shian turned around and said, "You're here."

"The little prince is still in bed."

Shen Cuo meant that if the window was open, wind would come in and blow on the little prince on the bed.

Lu Shian turned around and smiled: "He is in the space."

Shen Cuo stopped talking.

"Nan Xing said that Chen Er was poisoned through breastfeeding. Now that I think about it, when he asked me to stop breastfeeding, he had already had the intention of harming Chen Er."

"What are you going to do?"

Lu Shian let out a long breath: "Do you think he will stop now?"

"do not know."

In fact, Shen Cuo wanted to say that since the emperor had already taken action, he would never give up until he achieved his goal, but he didn't say it.

"I guess he won't give up easily."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"How to do it..."
