You could hear a pin drop in the room.

The officials present looked at each other, and then all turned their gazes to Emperor Mingze who was sitting in front of the window.

The moonlight was like a silver thread, shining through the window lattice paper directly onto Jiang Yanchuan's body, casting a dark silhouette on the ground.

His face seemed to be hidden in the darkness. People couldn't see his expression clearly, but they all felt inexplicably...

This young emperor, who is usually decisive and ruthless, now seems to be feeling a little guilty.

The sound of "da da da" footsteps was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door.

【Um? 】

【Why is there no sound inside? 】

[This should be the right place, right?! ]

Gu Ruizhou glanced at everyone's faces with a puzzled look, and when no one answered, he opened his mouth to respond -

Among the officials present, several of them kept their eyes on Gu Ruizhou. Their scalps tingled when they saw him, and they immediately pounced on him!

“Have—mmmm??”

The others reacted immediately upon seeing this, and they all rushed to stuff him into the closet in the corner.

General Guide Lei Zhixin felt particularly uneasy. He frowned and thought for a moment, then squeezed in.

[Ah! There’s a sound! ! ]

The space inside the cabinet was extremely small. Two grown men stood shoulder to shoulder inside. It was crowded, stuffy, and...

Can't figure it out.

Gu Ruizhou looked confused.

Just now...

Isn't that the little guy's voice?!

Emperor Mingze doted on the little girl so much during the day, but now no one even opens the door for her? !

Amidst the doubts, the little guy's voice sounded again.

"Father, Father, are you in there, Father?!"

There was a long interval between the two voices. Gu Ruizhou guessed that the little guy must have been lying on the door and listening for a while. After confirming that there was someone inside, he opened his mouth to ask.

Suddenly, Gu Ruizhou finally realized that something was wrong!

Although the timbre of the little guy's voice before and after were the same, the first few sounds seemed to ring directly in the mind, clear, bright and crisp.

The last sound was thin, distant, and extremely obvious as if it was separated by an obstacle.

He suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Lei Zhixin beside him, but saw only darkness.

"Don't make any noise, we'll tell you later." Lei Zhixin said briefly, almost in a whisper.

The nervousness in Lei Zhixin's voice was too obvious. Although Gu Ruizhou didn't understand what was going on, he subconsciously held his breath and listened attentively to the movements outside.

Just at this moment, a crisp "creak" sound came from outside the door.

The moonlight was very bright tonight, and Jiang Yingcheng could see the scene clearly almost the moment he entered the door.

Her angry expression froze and she greeted the uncles very obediently.

Looks like he's very sensible, but in fact -

[While Cheng Cheng is asleep, I will snatch my father from him!!]

The Qingliu present: "..."

Jiang Yanchuan: "..."

Everyone was afraid to even breathe, fearing that the little girl would be unhappy and run back to ask her "Brother Tong" to look up the information.

If what happened tonight was revealed exactly in front of the little one, their biggest secret would no longer be hidden!

In the silence, Jiang Yingcheng looked straight at the closet in the corner: [Chengcheng seemed to hear the sound of the closet door closing just now...]

The scalps of all the clear streams tingled: Hiss! !

Minister of Rites Chu Jiaxu quickly said: "Young Prince, we can discuss with His Majesty for a while and then we can finish the important matters. Why don't you go back and wait first?

Jiang Yingcheng nodded blankly: "Oh oh oh, then——"

[Brother Tong, Brother Tong, what are they discussing——]?

“Your Highness!” Minister of Personnel Chu Dong suddenly raised his voice and secretly kicked Chu Jiaxu, saying with concern, “It’s so dark outside, why did you come out by yourself?!”

Jiang Yingcheng was very happy even though his conversation with 007 was interrupted by this voice.

She has been waiting for an opportunity to complain, and now someone finally handed her the stage!

"Father, Father told Chengcheng before he fell asleep that he would stay with Chengcheng all day!"

But she had just fallen asleep for a short while when she woke up with a start and found that her handsome father was gone!

After the complaint, the topic suddenly changed: "So what are the uncles talking about? Is it urgent?"

She had clearly checked the world line before she set out, so nothing major should happen during this period of time!

The topic that they had tried so hard to change was brought back so easily. Everyone looked at the little guy's eyes full of curiosity and for a moment, they didn't know how to start the conversation.

In the deadlocked atmosphere, Jiang Yanchuan suddenly spoke: "Chengcheng."

"Come to Father."

Jiang Yingcheng turned his head suddenly, his eyes sparkling in the moonlight: "Okay!"

She opened her arms and, like a sugar glider, took "da da da" steps with her short legs towards her handsome father.

Jiang Yanchuan took her into his arms.

"Lu Yao sent a secret report to the emperor today," he casually fished out the "excuse" he had prepared in advance from his sleeve, "the matter happened suddenly, so the emperor had an urgent discussion with your uncles."

Jiang Yingcheng was always very easy to coax when she was in the arms of her beautiful father. After hearing this, she no longer bothered about the previous question and honestly took out a small snack: "Then father, you say, Chengcheng will wait for you here~"

Jiang Yanchuan: "Already——"

[Brother Tong, Brother Tong, what did Uncle Lu say in the secret letter?! ]

Jiang Yanchuan didn't have time to say the word "end" as it rolled over his tongue before he swallowed it back.

Lu Yao mentioned in the secret letter that Chi Yimian, the concubine of Yishui Kingdom who intended to murder Jiang Yingcheng on the day of the New Year's Day banquet, said when she woke up halfway that she knew a shocking secret and wanted to exchange it for the antidote.

——Before leaving, the little guy gave her a potion that could delay the toxicity, just so that Lu Yao could get more information from her.

Lu Yao said in the letter that he was "horrified" and "at a loss" after hearing the secret. He could only ride his horse as fast as he could as soon as he got the news, in order to rush there in person as quickly as possible to listen to his "teachings."

The letter paper seems to be filled with dense handwriting, but in fact there is only one thought throughout it -

He is coming.

When the ministers saw that Emperor Mingze had prepared this back-up plan, they felt relieved.

The joy gradually crept up on me——

【hold head high?】

[Chi Yimian, she wants to use the news that Zhu Jinguo is hiding his strength and preparing to deal with Da Rui in exchange for the antidote?!]

That’s it? !

She already knew this, okay?

Jiang Yingcheng glanced at it and then looked away, secretly deciding to add another note when he got back, so that this would not be regarded as a prank.

[Cheng Cheng not only knows that Zhu Jin State wants to deal with Da Rui, but also knows that the King of Zhu Jin State has already established contact with Prince Xin at the New Year's Day Banquet. The two are preparing to——]

"Boom-"

A sudden muffled sound from the corner interrupted Jiang Yingcheng's thoughts. For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to the wardrobe in the corner!

Jiang Yingcheng's whole body shook unconsciously.

[Wha, what the hell? ! ]
