Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

When Zhao Liangchen returned home, he went to see Zeng Lao Suqin first. When Zeng Lao saw Zhao Liangchen, he frowned and asked with concern: "How did you get yourself into this state?"

At this time, Zhao Liangchen was thin and tired, looking much more vicissitudes of life than before. This was his appearance after he went home to take a shower and change clothes. He looked even more pitiful when he first entered the city.

He smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay. I can't eat the food at home outside. I'm hungry. I'll recover after eating two good meals."

This month, he not only couldn't eat well, he couldn't even eat or sleep.

Although he knew that this was not a real epidemic, the people did not know it. The people were confined at home, and someone had to be responsible for all problems. King Liang had run away, and the magistrate of Qi County could not make decisions on many things, so Zhao Liangchen had to do it.

Not only did he have to serve as a guard, preventing the people from fleeing in panic and preventing the imperial guards from sneaking away, and promptly checking for any gaps, he was also responsible for sealing the people's supply of food, drink, and medicine every day.

He felt that this incident was caused by them and the people should not suffer, so he was particularly responsible and serious, and solved any problems in a timely manner.

This way he had no time to eat or sleep, and he became haggard in just a few days.

Su Qin joked with him: "You look even more miserable than I did when I was fleeing from famine."

Zhao Liangchen recalled the first time he saw Su Qin. At that time, she was not only dark and thin, but also carrying a pot on her back, and her whole body smelled sour. He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "She should still be better than you."

Su Qin also remembered the scene when the two of them first met, and couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, Qiangdian, you chat with grandpa first, I'll go make you a few dishes to replenish your stomach."

Zhao Liangchen didn't want her to be tired, so he stopped her: "No need, just have something to eat, let Aunt Zhang do it."

Su Qin: "That won't do. Now that I'm home, I have to eat some good food. I've learned a few new dishes recently and I'd like to cook them for you to try."

When Zhao Liangchen heard the word "go home", his heart instantly warmed up. This feeling was really good. No matter how long he was away, he had a home and his heart had a place to return to.

He didn't stop her, but said apologetically, "Thank you for your help."

Su Qin: "It's not a big deal. I have nothing to do anyway."

Su Qin went to cook, and Zhao Liangchen had no intention of chatting with Mr. Zeng. He just stood at the door of the main room and watched Su Qin's busy figure. He felt that he was the happiest person at this moment.

Zeng Lao saw that he was grinning foolishly, which was really stupid. He reminded him, "Su Qin is a very clear-headed girl. She knows what she wants and has been planning for the future for a long time.

He is not the kind of girl who will be moved by a few sweet words, nor is he the kind of girl you can marry just because you have a lot of wealth, fame and fortune.

After spending these days with her, even though she didn't say it, I have a feeling she won't stay. If you really have feelings for her, think carefully about your future. If you can't go all the way with her, I advise you to keep your heart."

Zhao Liangchen felt a little embarrassed when his teacher revealed his thoughts. He subconsciously retorted, "I'm not in love with her. I just treat her as a family member and feel grateful to her."

Zeng Lao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Alright, stop pretending in front of me. How can I not see what you are thinking? Let me remind you, Su Qin is already sixteen years old this year. What girl is still unengaged at her age? She is not really without parents. If the Su family hadn't been in trouble, do you think she would still be in your thoughts?

Su Jijing will not let her delay like this. Once the matter of Prince Liang is resolved, he will definitely arrange a marriage for Su Qin first. By then, even if you have the intention, it will be too late.

So if you are really interested in her, you have to think it over carefully. If you care about her more and can follow her lead, you should express your feelings to avoid being overtaken by others and regretting it later.

If you think other things are more important and you just want her to be your deputy commander's wife in peace, then I advise you to calm down and stop disturbing her."

Zhao Liangchen's face looked a little ugly. He simply liked the feeling of being with Su Qin and fantasized about marrying her home. He felt that living with Su Qin would definitely be the happiest thing.

But he hadn't had time to think about what Su Qin wanted. As Mr. Zeng said, was she willing to be his wife?

If it were another woman, she would have agreed if he showed enough affection. After all, in this era of blind marriages arranged by parents, it is a rare thing to have a man who loves you marry you.

But based on his understanding of Su Qin, she might not care about these things. Her criteria are different, but he doesn't know what Su Qin's criteria are.

So I feel very uncertain.

The teacher was right. Time was running out for him, but he hadn't yet made any plans for his future. After his rebirth, his only thoughts were revenge, disrupting King Liang's plans, and then breaking away from the Zhao family. But what then? What would he do next?

Last time, Su Qin said that she wanted to set up a caravan and find a way out, so he knew that Su Qin might want to leave here, but he deliberately suppressed this idea. He felt that as long as he could protect Su Qin and the Su family, Su Qin would not leave.

But now think about it, will Su Qin really not leave? Not necessarily, she is not the kind of person who will put her hope and her safety in the hands of others.

After dealing with King Liang, he will be able to become the emperor's right-hand man and a real powerful minister. If Su Qin really wants to leave at that time, will he leave with her?

It's not that he is reluctant to give up power, but he is a man after all, and a man should achieve great things. He will not do anything other than join the army and become a general.

But Su Qin is omnipotent. She can live well wherever she goes. If he goes with her, what will he do? Will he have to rely on Su Qin to live? As a man, he definitely doesn't want to do that.

Even if he was willing to go with her at that time, but in the long run, he would have to live like a son-in-law, how could he not feel resentful? What would he do if he resented Su Qin then?

He lacks confidence. He wants to stand on a high position and be Su Qin's umbrella of protection, but reason tells him that Su Qin may not be willing to be protected by him. This is where the contradiction lies.

Zhao Liangchen was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Mr. Zeng didn't say anything else to disturb his thoughts. Even when Su Qin and Aunt Zhang came in with the food, Zhao Liangchen still hadn't figured it out, so he looked very unhappy.

Faced with Su Qin's enthusiastic invitation to eat, he could only force a smile.

Su Qin noticed that he was in a bad mood, but she didn't ask any more questions. They ate while discussing their next plan.

After Zhao Liangchen left, Su Qin asked Zeng Lao: "Grandpa, what happened to Liangchen?"

Mr. Zeng didn't tell the truth: "It's nothing, just tired, I'll be fine after two days of rest."

Seeing that Mr. Zeng didn't say anything, Su Qin didn't ask any more questions. She wouldn't ask too much about things that had nothing to do with her.

The next day was the first grand court session after the epidemic. A month had passed since the court session on the 16th day of the first lunar month, and there were many things that needed to be dealt with.

When Prince Liang went to court, he discovered that many eunuchs and palace maids were missing from the palace. The most obvious one was that Li Quan, the eunuch who held the seal beside the emperor, was gone, and was replaced by an unfamiliar eunuch.

At this point, King Liang still had nothing to understand. The emperor had long been suspicious of the people around him, and he was using this epidemic to eliminate dissidents.

It seemed that the emperor had deliberately suppressed his ministers while he was away last time. His suspicion was correct. The emperor was just competing with him for power, but the emperor's acting skills were good at that time. He used the selection of concubines to test it, but failed to find out.

Now, watching the emperor handling government affairs in an orderly manner, King Liang felt for the first time that he had underestimated the emperor. The emperor's series of actions made him applaud. He was really curious whether these ideas were thought of by the emperor himself, or if there was some expert behind the scenes giving guidance. As for this epidemic, was there really an epidemic or was it done intentionally?
