From the rural love, many children and good fortune

Li Tian stood up and paced back and forth in the study, with anger boiling in his heart.

He could never have imagined that Zhao Lingfeng, who seemed loyal and reliable, would actually plot such a conspiracy behind the scenes.

Li Tian suddenly stopped and said with a firm look in his eyes:

"Ruobing, we must not let them succeed in this matter. You must immediately arrange for personnel to strengthen the security of the evidence storage area and ensure that the key evidence is safe. In addition, closely monitor the actions of Zhao Lingfeng and the Shadow Hall. If they take any action, report it to me immediately."

After Liu Ruobing received the order and was about to leave, Li Tian added:

"Also, this matter must not be made public, so as not to alert the enemy. I want to see what other tricks Zhao Lingfeng can come up with!"

Li Tian suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with unquestionable majesty:

"Ruobing, we must not let them succeed in this matter. You must immediately arrange for personnel to strengthen the security of the evidence storage area and ensure that the key evidence is safe. In addition, closely monitor the actions of Zhao Lingfeng and the Shadow Hall. If they take any action, report it to me immediately."

Just as Liu Ruobing was about to accept the order and leave, the door of the imperial study was gently pushed open.

A gentle figure walked in, it was Queen Liu Ruyan.

She walked lightly with a faint smile on her lips, gentle and moving.

But when Liu Ruyan saw the solemn atmosphere in the hall, her smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a face full of concern:

"Li Tian, ​​what happened?"

Liu Ruyan's gaze moved back and forth between Li Tian and Liu Ruobing, trying to find clues to what was going on from their expressions.

Li Tian sighed slightly, his expression showing a bit of fatigue and worry.

He raised his hand to signal Liu Ruyan to come closer, and briefly told Liu Ruyan about Zhao Lingfeng's collusion with the Shadow Hall in an attempt to sabotage the rectification of the Patrol Bureau.

After hearing this, Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes widened, filled with shock and anger.

Those originally lively eyes now seemed to be burning with two flames of anger.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her chest rose and fell violently. She was obviously very angry about Zhao Lingfeng's behavior:

"How dare Zhao Lingfeng be so bold! Such behavior is truly a heinous crime. It betrays our trust and endangers the peace of the imperial capital."

Li Tian nodded slightly, his expression becoming more solemn:

"Ruyan, you've come just in time. As a former empress, you know more about the affairs of the Great Chu than I do. The situation is tricky now, and I need to hear your opinion."

Liu Ruyan gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, slowly closed her eyes, and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, with a gleam of wisdom in them, and said methodically:

"Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to protect the evidence. It is very appropriate to have Ruobing strengthen his vigilance. However, the Shadow Hall acts in secret, and we cannot just defend without attacking."

Liu Ruobing nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashed in her eyes, and an expression of admiration appeared on her face:

"Your Majesty is right. Even though we are in the open, we can still take the initiative to disrupt their plans."

Li Tian's eyes lit up, and his originally dim eyes instantly regained some spirit:

"Ruyan, please continue."

Liu Ruyan looked calm and analyzed clearly:

"We might as well spread some false information to lure the Shadow Hall into the trap and make them reveal their flaws. At the same time, we can secretly investigate the source of Zhao Lingfeng's wealth to see how he raised the huge reward. By following the clues, we may be able to find more forces that are in collusion with him."

Li Tian looked at Liu Ruyan with admiration, his eyes full of satisfaction and trust:

"Ruyan, you are really thoughtful and all you say are good ideas. Ruobing, you should immediately arrange for people to carry out the Queen's proposal."

After receiving the order, Liu Ruobing stepped out and began to deploy various tasks.

In the imperial study, Li Tian gently helped Liu Ruyan sit down.

Li Tian's movements were so gentle that he seemed afraid of hurting her. His face was full of tenderness and worry:

"Ruyan, you are pregnant, and you shouldn't let these troubles bother you, but now the situation is serious, and it's thanks to your calm analysis. But you also have to pay more attention to your body and don't overwork yourself."

Liu Ruyan gently leaned on Li Tian's shoulder, with a happy smile on her face:

"Li Tian, ​​as the queen, the stability of the Chu State is related to the future of me and my unborn child. How can I stay out of it? I will take care of my health. Your Majesty, please don't worry too much. Everything will be fine."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of trust.

They knew that the road ahead was full of thorns, but as long as they worked together, they would be able to crush the conspiracy of Zhao Lingfeng and the Shadow Hall and restore peace to the capital of Great Chu.

After Liu Ruobing left, Liu Ruyan leaned on Li Tian's shoulder, enjoying this moment of warmth and tranquility.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. She sat up straight and looked at Li Tian with a probing look:

"Li Tian, ​​what do you think of Ruobing?"

Li Tian was slightly stunned, not understanding why Liu Ruyan suddenly asked this, but he still answered truthfully:

"Ruobing has good cultivation, is loyal and reliable, and has helped Da Chu and me a lot these days. He is a rare talent."

Liu Ruyan smiled gently, her eyes full of understanding:

"Your Majesty, what you said is very true, but I want to say more than that. Your Majesty, you see that Ruo Bing is not only capable, but also pretty, and has a strong and resolute character. I think if I can take her into the harem, firstly, she can always be by your side and continue to serve you; secondly, she can also have a stable home. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

When Li Tian heard this, he was stunned at first, and then a complicated expression appeared on his face.

His mind could not help but emerge with every moment he spent with Liu Ruobing, their side-by-side journeys on incognito tours, their tacit cooperation in the court. Her heroic demeanor, intelligence and courage were truly heart-warming.

But Li Tian was a little hesitant, after all, Liu Ruobing had always been by his side as the captain of the guards.

He was worried that this sudden change would make Liu Ruobing feel uncomfortable.

"Ruyan, isn't this a little hasty? I'm afraid Ruobing... won't be willing."

Li Tian said slowly, with some worry in his eyes.

Liu Ruyan reached out and gently held Li Tian's hand, and said softly:

"Li Tian, ​​perhaps love can be cultivated slowly. From what I see, Ruobing is loyal to Your Majesty. Maybe she already has Your Majesty in her heart. Besides, Your Majesty doesn't need to make a conclusion now. Why not find a time to test Ruobing's feelings first?"

Li Tian pondered for a moment and nodded slightly:

"Well, I'll do as you say. But this matter still needs to be considered carefully. Don't rush it, so as not to hurt Ruobing."

Liu Ruyan's lips slightly raised, revealing a confident smile:

"Li Tian, ​​don't worry, I will find an appropriate time to discuss this matter with Ruo Bing in the most appropriate way."

Li Tian gently patted Liu Ruyan's hand, his eyes full of gratitude and trust:

"I feel relieved to have you take care of this matter. But no matter what the result is, please don't make Ruobing feel embarrassed."
