Wei Zhao pursed his lips and nodded. He said, "Dad is very busy, but I have mom and everyone with me now, so it's okay."

Qin Chaoyan reached out and rubbed his head. "Do you want to go back to the academy or the palace?"

"Mother, can we go to Zhaoxi's house?" Wei Zhao said, "I miss Brother Fengnian a little bit."

"it is good."

Qin Chaoyan asked the old man at the candy figurine stall to make three more candy figurines and brought them to Chen Zhaoxi, Chen Fengnian and Wei Mingjiao.

Chen Yudong's parents have passed away, and he works in the palace. During this period, the palace affairs are very busy, and Chen Yudong has not been home for several days.

When Qin Chaoyan and Wei Zhao arrived, Wei Mingjiao was planning to pack some clothes and return to Prince Rong's mansion to live for a while.

During this meeting, Wei Mingjiao burst out with great enthusiasm, which showed her curiosity and admiration for Qin Chaoyan, as well as the enthusiasm of being bored and finally having someone to accompany her.

Qin Chaoyan and Wei Zhao were warmly invited by Wei Mingjiao to stay as guests at Chen's house. When Chen Zhaoxi was pulled back by Chen Fengnian from listening to storytelling on the street, he discovered this surprise.

Chen Zhaoxi did not go out to listen to books or watch plays. Instead, he stayed close to Wei Zhao, instructing the cooks to make this cake or that cake, and he and Wei Zhao chose and tasted which cake was the most delicious.

After Wei Chu was busy for two days, he took some time to rest and went back to Biluoxuan to find Qin Chaoyan and the others. He asked Xiong Da and found out that they had not returned for two days either.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Wei Chu's mind.

When Xiong Da told him that Qin Chaoyan and the others were now living in Chen's mansion, he was surprised to find sweat on his forehead.

After thanking Xiong Dadao, Wei Chu hurried to Chen's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the garden in the backyard. He had a feeling that Qin Chaoyan would be there.

Sure enough, when Wei Chu arrived, Qin Chaoyan was leaning over and sniffing the fragrance of the flowers.

Hearing footsteps, she stood up and looked up, and was unexpectedly embraced by a familiar embrace.

Listening to his thumping heartbeat and his heavy breathing, Qin Chaoyan smiled and raised her hands to hug him back.

"Running here?"

"Yeah, I want to see you soon."

I don't know how long the two hugged each other, Wei Zhao came to the garden with some snacks.

"Mother, Zhaoxi and I think this peach blossom pastry is the most delicious today..."

"Daddy!"

"Uncle!"

Wei Zhao handed the snack to Chen Zhaoxi and trotted over to Wei Chu and Qin Chaoyan.

He reached out and hugged Wei Chu's legs, looking up at him.

"Dad, are you done with your work? Lin'an missed you so much."

Wei Chu let go of Qin Chaoyan and picked up Wei Zhao from the ground with one hand, making the little boy giggle with joy.

He held Wei Zhao in his arms and spun him around in the air for a few circles, then put him down, feeling a little apologetic.

"Lin'an, Daddy hasn't finished his work yet. I ran away secretly this time. It's time to go back now."

Wei Zhao showed a lost expression on his face, but he quickly adjusted himself.

"Oh, okay, Daddy, then you better finish your work soon. Mommy and I will be waiting for you."

"Yeah, almost."

Qin Chaoyan looked at him and gently reached out and touched his cheek.

"Just remember, no matter what, Lin An and I are here."

"Yeah, remember."

Wei Chu looked at Qin Chaoyan deeply for a while, then turned away reluctantly. When he passed by Chen Zhaoxi, he raised his hand, picked up a piece of peach blossom pastry and tasted it.

He commented: "Sweet and delicious."

Chen Zhaoxi picked up a piece, tasted it carefully, and said: "Hmm, it's sweet."

Wei Zhao stamped his feet and said, "Zhao Xi, you're still eating. Your stomach is about to burst."

Chen Zhaoxi took a deep breath, trying to hide his round belly, and argued: "No, no way."

The sun was shining and the garden was full of spring colors. Qin Chaoyan looked at the two "bickering" little kids and laughed so hard that she bent over.

On the other side, when Wei Chu entered Chen's house, he went through the main gate, but when he left, he went through the back door. He still disguised himself before going out, and successfully got rid of the spies who were following him in the dark.

"Your Majesty."

"how's it going?"

"The big fish has been hooked. To prevent the traitor from committing treason, Your Majesty, you must be more careful these days."

Emperor Qi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm not that easy to be tricked by them. Go and get busy."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Chu quickly left the Xuanzheng Hall. Inside the hall, Emperor Qi sighed softly.

In an instant, he seemed to have aged a lot.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." Eunuch Hong whispered soothingly.

"Hong Zhao, tell me, how did it become like this?"

"Your Majesty..."

Emperor Qi sighed again, stood up tremblingly, and went into the inner room.

On the surface, Da Qi's capital is still the same as usual, with people coming and going and prosperous.

In the dark, many dormant people have begun to move. In the past few days, the number of floating population in Beijing has increased a lot.

Moreover, at night, there were many more people on the roads, in the alleys, and outside the city.

The conditions of the envoys from various countries have improved under the treatment of the imperial doctors.

In order to appease the envoy, Emperor Qi held a night banquet in the palace.

These days, people like Prince Rong and Prime Minister Pei have vaguely sensed that something is wrong.

As Wei Chu's bedmate, Qin Chaoyan knew that this time, something big was going to happen.

However, she looked at the night sky and thought: Maybe after tonight, the sky will no longer be dark, and there will be many bright stars.

Qin Chaoyan couldn't sleep, so she simply took out paper and pen and went to the courtyard, thinking about what classes she should teach after the meeting was over and the students returned to the academy.

At this moment, the night banquet in the palace had already begun. This banquet was to appease the envoys, and this time, only officials above the third rank in the court attended the banquet.

At the banquet, if there were familiar colleagues around, the adults would whisper a few words from time to time, if not, they would just drink in silence.

Everyone present is not a fool.

They were aware of the undercurrents that were surging throughout Kyoto during this period, and some of them were even involved.

The banquet reached its climax when Jialuo Manli stood up and said she wanted to dance.

Emperor Qi agreed, and Jialuo Manli went downstairs to change into her dancing costume. At this time, King Xuan happened to step forward and toasted Emperor Qi.

Emperor Qi gave him an ambiguous look, but in the end, he drank the wine.

Then, the music at the banquet changed, and Jialuo Manli appeared in everyone's sight, stepping on the drums.

Emperor Qi sat at the top, watching her performance calmly, and casually glanced around the stage.

"Zheng!"

"Boom!"

All the ministers and envoys below felt dizzy, and some could not hold on and fell down.

Pei Xiang staggered to stand up, and at this time, the music stopped. Jialuo Manli looked at the scene in a bit of surprise.

"Whoosh!"

A cold arrow pierced through her side and headed straight for Emperor Qi who was sitting on the throne.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Father!"

At the critical moment, someone rushed forward.
