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

"Father, what should we do now?" Chu Haoting is very worried now!

He didn't want to offend the Regent, but he didn't want to offend the Queen even more!

But he must choose one of the two, otherwise, even though Chu Huaizhi is the prime minister, it will be easy for him to destroy the two forces!

Chu Huaizhi slumped in the chair, his old face full of despair.

I thought the queen had only informed him, but I didn't expect that even her son knew about it.

This is forcing yourself to take sides!

Chu Huaizhi thought for a long time and then said, "Haoting, let's not act rashly..."

Chu Huaizhi didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the two sides.

Just survive, if you can survive till the end you are considered a capable person!

But Chu Haoting said, "Father, I know what you mean, but we are already in the swamp and can't get out!"

At the beginning, Chu Huaizhi chose to stand on the side of the prince in the court.

As the mother of the Crown Prince, it is impossible for the Queen to stay out of it!

Chu Huaizhi was also anxious, "Then what do you say we should do? On one side is the Regent, and on the other side is the Queen! What do you say we should do!"

If you choose the wrong one.

Only death!

"We are not dealing directly with the Regent, but Shen Wanwan!" Chu Haoting reminded.

Chu Huaizhi rolled his eyes, "Are you stupid? Shen Wanwan's relationship with the Regent. If we attack Shen Wanwan, what does that have to do with offending the Regent?"

"Father, you don't understand what I mean. What I mean is that we act as the middleman. On the one hand, we attack Shen Wanwan, and on the other hand, we show goodwill to Shen Wanwan! Isn't that enough?"

Chu Huaizhi didn't speak for a long time!

"Well, father, if you're scared, leave it to me! Just pretend you don't know!"

Chu Haoting intends to take charge of the matter.

After Chu Haoting finished speaking, he left the study without waiting for Chu Huaizhi to speak.

Unexpectedly, I met Chu Tangxi as soon as I went out.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Chu Tangxi lying stealthily by the door, obviously having heard their conversation.

"Why are you here?"

"Brother! Hush! Keep your voice down! I can help you with this!"

-

The next morning, news about Shen Wanwan arrived.

To be precise, it’s not Shen Wanwan who has returned.

It was Zizhu, a subordinate of Xie Jingchuan, who almost turned the entire capital city upside down.

Only then did I know that Shen Wanwan had gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion!

But when Xie Jingchuan was told the news, he was not surprised at all.

Zizhu asked, "Has the prince known about this a long time ago?"

In front of Xie Jingchuan, Zizhu showed her stupidity to the extreme.

Xie Jingchuan had already thought of it. In this world, Shen Wanwan had already broken up with the Shen family.

Then the only familiar person is Shi Qiao.

As for Shi Qiao, he had also seen him before.

After eavesdropping outside Shen Wanwan's door for the first time, he sent someone to check Shi Qiao's identity.

"The Chu Huai family is the prince's people. Miss Shen went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Isn't this walking into a trap?"

Xie Jingchuan won’t reply!

Chen Yan at the side said, "The prince had already thought of it. He sent more than a dozen secret guards to protect Miss Shen last night. By the time you bring back the news, I'm afraid the cold dishes will have gone bad!"

Zizhu: “…”

Just as the two were talking, the servant came to report, "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace, asking you to come to the palace!"

Zizhu's eyes were full of wisdom now. "My Lord, this is the same trick again. Deal with them separately?"

Xie Jingchuan is the child of the late emperor, and the emperor is nominally Xie Jingchuan's brother. Although Xie Jingchuan has a large number of troops, most of them were awarded by the late emperor when he was a prince.

The emperor couldn't just go back.

Now, Xie Jingchuan’s daily routine is to train the defense battalion.

There is no need to attend court on weekdays!

Unless summoned by the emperor!

"You go first." Xie Jingchuan said.

The last time they dealt with this matter separately was because Xie Jingchuan wanted to test whether Shen Wanwan would save him.

After that, the emperor also tried to smooth things over.

If something really happened this time, he wouldn't be able to swallow it so easily.

After entering the palace, Xie Jingchuan was taken to the imperial study by Eunuch Li.

The prince and the emperor were already waiting inside.

"Greetings to my royal brother, the Crown Prince!" Xie Jingchuan bowed slightly.

"Uncle Royal is well!"

The emperor didn't care at all that Xie Jingchuan didn't perform the full ceremony. Instead, he stepped forward and held up Xie Jingchuan's hand. "Eighth brother, you're finally here!"

"I wonder what important matter your Majesty has called me in for?" Xie Jingchuan went straight to the point!

Seeing the emperor being so attentive, could it be that he was going to use the gentle approach? Was he trying to use brotherly love to get him to give up his military power?

"I heard that you went to the military camp yesterday. Why don't you take a few more days off?"

Xie Jingchuan was indeed wronged this time.

And the capital city has been in a commotion recently.

But as an emperor, he could only remain neutral.

"My brother is fine!"

Now he understood that the emperor was afraid that he would bear a grudge and incite the people, so he called him into the palace to appease them.

The emperor nodded and continued, "A few days ago, Nanjiang presented a piece of cloth. The material is very good. You can take it back to make clothes for Miss Shen!"

Just as Xie Jingchuan was about to thank him, the crown prince beside him interrupted, "Uncle, don't worry. These pieces of fabric are all top-grade. They were originally intended to make clothes for our mother, but she has been unwell lately and can't use them."

"The Queen is feeling unwell?"

Xie Jingchuan was just asking casually.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually took these words as concern, and his face was full of worry, "Eighth brother, you don't know, since the death of the seventh prince, the queen has been depressed every day, eating and sleeping poorly. There are so many useless people in the palace, and no imperial doctor can do anything about it. He has prescribed a lot of medicine, but there is no improvement."

The best physician in the palace, Imperial Physician Liu.

He took the blame for the Queen!

Xie Jingchuan was silent for a moment, pretending to be worried, "In this case, the emperor's sister-in-law will have to rest more!"

emperor:? ? ?

What's going on? I've been playing the victim to this extent, and you just say I should take more rest?

Was he being too reserved?

When the prince saw that Xie Jingchuan was not getting along, he frantically built a stumbling block beside him.

"Eh? Father, how could you have forgotten that Miss Shen is an excellent doctor? Why not let her come and see Mother?"

After going around for a long time, Xie Mingxu finally found his way back.

Although he already knew the emperor's idea, Xie Jingchuan didn't want to fall into the trap.

He was a little embarrassed. "But Wanwan is best at autopsies, which she learned secretly without Minister Shen's knowledge... As for her medical skills, to be honest, it is really hard to guarantee. As for saving lives, she has no practical experience yet. What if... Brother, are you sure you want to take this risk?"

In other words.

Shen Wanwan has never saved anyone.

If you accidentally kill someone, it would be irresponsible.

The prince pretended not to understand Xie Jingchuan's implication, "The imperial doctors in the palace right now are all useless. My mother's condition is more important. What if the princess's unconventional method is effective?"

I call her the princess, isn't that enough to raise her status?

Xie Jingchuan did not object to the title of "Princess". Instead, his expression softened significantly at that moment.

Upon seeing this, the prince was secretly delighted and secretly praised himself for flattering the emperor just right.

However, Xie Jingchuan's thoughts turned, and he couldn't help but worry when he thought about the uniqueness and boldness of Shen Wanwan's daily behavior.

The queen might not be able to tolerate her unruly ways.
