The Regent secretly read the diary, and I went from being a cannon fodder to being the group's

Xie Jingchuan didn't care about the emperor's attitude. Instead, his eyes fell on the prince next to him.

The prince's face looked a little pale. After all, the sick Xie Zhuoyu was his younger brother.

"Has it been confirmed to be leprosy?" Xie Jingchuan asked, "If that is indeed the case, then I think it might be wise not to let the Seventh Prince leave the palace for the time being."

The emperor tried to kill him, but failed!

If Xie Zhuoyu was allowed to go to Qizhou, he would most likely be infected on the way, and the emperor would kill two birds with one stone.

However, Xie Jingchuan was more worried that if Xie Zhuoyu left the palace, he might spread the disease to the people of the Dawu Dynasty.

"This is indeed a difficult problem," the emperor admitted. "I have asked you to discuss this with me because I believe that only you can ensure the well-being of the people of my dynasty."

The Crown Prince obviously cannot go. As the future heir to the throne, his safety is of vital importance.

Moreover, Xie Jingchuan had always refused to hand over his military power, and when he went to Beijing to report on his work, the emperor originally intended to get rid of him.

Unexpectedly, the plan failed and instead alarmed Xie Jingchuan.

"Brother, you overestimate me."

Now you regard him as a god?

How can he guarantee that he won’t infect the people?

Xie Jingchuan had not given an accurate answer, so the prince interrupted and said, "Father, why don't you let me solve this problem?"

On the surface, it was to rescue Xie Jingchuan, but in fact it was to force the emperor to make a decision.

So the emperor waved his hand and said decisively: "Then leave it to the regent to handle. I am very relieved."

So, Xie Jingchuan was taken to the Hall of Repentance.

At this moment, except for the imperial physician, no one in the palace knew what had happened.

Xie Jingchuan didn't want to get too entangled with the prince, so he advised: "Your Highness, you should go back to avoid being infected."

The prince did not understand his implication and insisted, "Thank you for your concern, uncle, but as an elder brother, I must send my seventh brother out of the palace."

The prince waved his hand, and more than twenty eunuchs lined up in two teams and came forward to receive his orders.

"These people have volunteered to take care of the Seventh Prince. During this journey, the uncle only needs to keep his distance and let them take care of him."

The prince whispered in Xie Jingchuan's ear: "If anyone gets sick, the emperor's uncle can deal with them at any time."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jingchuan remained expressionless and did not comment.

To put it nicely, it sounds like taking care of the seventh prince's daily life, but in fact, it's just eyes.

The convoy slowly drove out of the palace, and Xie Zhuoyu was carefully placed in the carriage. The carriage was sealed with thick cloth, and not even a trace of wind could penetrate.

Xie Jingchuan then got on the car, nodded to the prince as a farewell, and then led the team on the journey to Qizhou.

Zizhu followed closely behind Xie Jingchuan, and the two of them rode on horseback at the front of the team. Their conversation was limited to the two of them.

"Your Highness, are you sure? Is it really leprosy?" Zizhu asked in a low voice.

Xie Jingchuan frowned and replied: "I only met him once, and the symptoms were very similar, but I can't be sure."

"Are they trying to use the Seventh Prince's last value to harm you?" Zizhu was indignant, but the emperor's order was hard to disobey, so he could only accept it unwillingly.

"This might be the Queen's idea, but the Emperor also acquiesced. On the one hand, she might want Xie Zhuoyu to die with dignity; on the other hand, as long as the royal family still has some value, it is their blessing."

There was a hint of bitterness in Xie Jingchuan's tone. He had been in the royal family for many years and was already accustomed to these methods.

If he can even use his own son, what else can't he use?

"This journey is too dangerous. The emperor will definitely send someone to attack us along the way." Zizhu said worriedly.

Xie Jingchuan pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of Shen Wanwan.

"You pretend to go to the Shen residence and get rid of the people following you, then inform Chen Yan and let him wait for the opportunity to act. You hide in the team and protect me secretly."

After they set off, the Queen would definitely send someone to closely monitor their movements.

"Then do we really not have to worry about Miss Shen?" Zizhu noticed that Xie Jingchuan's attitude towards Shen Wanwan was different from others.

Xie Jingchuan shook his head. "She will be fine. Shen Wanwan is capable of protecting herself, and she should be enjoying it right now. But she may suffer some injustice."

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, "We will settle this account later."

Just as Xie Jingchuan expected, not long after Zizhu left, a man in black reported the situation to the queen.

"The personal guards of the Regent have already gone to the Shen Residence. Apparently they are going to rescue Shen Wanwan." The man in black said in a low voice.

The queen closed her eyes and turned the Buddhist beads in her hands, her eyes empty.

"Got it. Continue to follow the Regent and take action when the time is right."

There was a hint of sadness in her words and tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"My child, I am sorry for you. In the next life... I will definitely compensate you. But for your brother, this sacrifice is worth it."

-

"Master, the fourth lady is here!" The maid's voice came from outside the door, breaking the silence in the room.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwan snorted with a hint of disdain between her brows, "Then let her in."

When Xia Qingnuo heard that her daughter was invited, she felt uneasy. She was worried that Shen Chuwei would be wronged today.

"Wanwan, your fourth sister probably didn't do it on purpose. Please don't make things difficult for your father, okay? Even if it's for the sake of your mother and father, please give her some face."

Xia Qingnuo tried to ease the atmosphere. She didn't think Shen Wanwan would really do anything excessive, she was just worried that her daughter would be hurt too much.

Sure enough, Shen Chuwei walked in lightly wearing gorgeous clothes.

As a lady carefully cultivated by Shen Wuwen, she not only has outstanding appearance but also excellent temperament.

She smiled and bowed to Shen Wuwen and Xia Qingnuo first, "Father, mother is well."

Then he turned to Shen Wanwan and said with a smile: "Third sister is back now? I guess you miss father and mother!"

Shen Wanwan stood up with a smile on her face, "What do they have to think about? What I really think about is you, Fourth Sister!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Shen Chuwei hard on the face.

Shen Chuwei was hit and staggered, falling directly to the ground.

System: [The host is mighty! ]

Everyone present was stunned by this scene. Shen Chuwei covered her red and swollen cheek and stared at Shen Wanwan in disbelief.

This was the first time in her life that she had been humiliated like this.

Xia Qingnuo was the first to react. She shouted, "Stop!" and then quickly squatted down to check her daughter's red and swollen cheeks.

Shen Wanwan had a cold expression on her face and asked without any emotion: "Shen Chuwei, does it hurt?"

"Shen Wanwan, what are you doing? She is your fourth sister!" Xia Qingnuo couldn't help crying as she spoke, feeling distressed for her daughter's experience.

Shen Wanwan pretended to be innocent and didn't care about her behavior at all. "Fourth sister? My mother passed away a long time ago. I don't have any fourth sister."

Shen Wuwen looked at Shen Wanwan who was fighting, and anger rose in his heart. He wondered how he could have raised such a lawless daughter despite being a wise man all his life.

"Rebellious girl, kneel down!" Shen Wuwen roared.
