Good heavens! The Supreme God is being relentlessly harassed!

In the few days since Shen Wangchuan and Xie Liuyan returned to the Prince's Mansion, the situation in the court has changed repeatedly.

When they were in Medicine King Valley, Yun Qi was already having trouble dealing with Zuo Zhilin, not to mention that Zuo Zhilin was backed by Yun Qi's biological mother.

Xie Liuyan was well aware of Zuo Zhilin's thoughts; he had never intended to properly assist Yunqi.

If Yunqi had been an adult and independent when the late emperor passed away, and possessed sufficient imperial charisma, then it would have been fine.

Unfortunately, Yunqi was young at that time, and was completely associated with being naive and easy to control, so Zuo Zhilin's mind was always wavering.

Having plotted in secret for so long, how could they possibly let this opportunity slip by?

In a short period of time, Yunqi witnessed his relatives turning against each other and became estranged from his own mother.

At this moment, the thick fog cleared before his eyes.

On the surface, his mother and uncle were acting in his best interests, but secretly they were power-hungry and harbored ulterior motives.

The royal uncle, whom they had been slandering, was actually someone who truly cared about himself and was wholeheartedly devoted to the Yun Kingdom.

Now, apart from the eunuch who always follows him, he has almost no one he can trust.

He sighed to the young eunuch, "Fuyun, when do you think the Imperial Uncle will return? Has the divine physician been found yet?"

The young eunuch blinked and reassured him, "Your Majesty need not worry so much. The Regent instructed me before he left that he will return soon. As long as Your Majesty acts as usual, the Prince will come back."

The few words revealed a lot of information, and Yun Qi was startled.

The dark clouds that had been hanging over my heart have dissipated considerably; it seems that my uncle had anticipated everything.

Indeed, his plans were flawless, and he strategized within the command tent, securing victory a thousand miles away.

When will he be able to become as powerful as his uncle, no longer coerced by external affairs?

He still has much to learn about becoming a good emperor.

After returning home, Xie Liuyan rested and recuperated while sending messages to Xie Yi via carrier pigeon.

He instructed Xie Yi to gradually redeploy the Xuan Tie Army, which had been trained for a long time, and infiltrate the palace.

Xie Liuyan knew exactly which ministers in the court were Zuo Zhilin's confidants and which were fickle opportunists.

They sent their handwritten letters to their residence.

I won't offer help, but I hope they at least maintain a neutral stance.

Otherwise, the family's honor, disgrace, rise and fall could all be decided by their single thought.

These people have been officials for many years; they wouldn't be so clueless.

Xie Liuyan knew what he was doing, so he wrote quickly. His gaze was focused, but his hands never stopped moving.

The calligraphy, bold and powerful, was so clear that anyone who had read the memorial could recognize it as the handwriting of the current regent.

Shen Wangchuan stood somewhat bored beside his son, Ayan, watching him write several letters. Although he wanted to help, he felt powerless when it came to political matters.

It's also his fault for not learning more skills from his father when he was with the Shen family.

Now all I can do is watch my own Ah Yan busy herself.

Finally seeing Xie Liuyan had a moment to rest, Shen Wangchuan rested his chin on the other's shoulder, his breath spraying as he spoke:

"Ayan~~ Is there anything I can help you with? You've been staying in the manor for so long, it's practically overgrown with weeds. I'd like to do something to help you and lighten your burden."

Xie Liuyan paused, his hand holding the brush pausing, and his expression became thoughtful.

"If you want, go to the Shen residence for me and inform your father in advance that I am coming back, and how to deal with Zuo Zhilin."

"Huh?" I was originally thinking of helping with other things, but I didn't expect it to be about going back to the Shen residence.

"Ayan, when would be a good time for me to go?"

Xie Liuyan put down his brush and stood up, forcing Shen Wangchuan to change his posture accordingly.

He hugged the other person's waist from behind, and their faces were very close when Xie Liuyan turned around to speak.

"Let's go at night. It's easy to be seen during the day. Use your light-footed skills to go back to the Shen residence at night."

Shen Wangchuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

He raised a hand, pointed to his face, and said, "I can go to the Shen residence, but... I'll only go tonight if you give me a kiss."

Xie Liuyan was somewhat helpless; his leg had fully recovered in the past few days thanks to the system's covert healing.

Previously, he could never look Shen Wangchuan in the eye, but now that Xie Liuyan had stood up completely, he found that he was actually a little taller than Shen Wangchuan.

He looked down at the other person slightly, a slight smile playing on his lips: "What if I don't want to kiss you?"

It was rare to see the other person acting so mischievously, so Shen Wangchuan pretended to be troubled and said, "Then... I won't go to the Shen residence."

Xie Liuyan let out a low, hoarse laugh, his chest vibrating, which Shen Wangchuan could feel.

He raised his hand to hug her back, the words "as you wish" remaining unspoken.

With Xie Liuyan's payment in full, Shen Wangchuan changed into his night clothes and set off that very night.

Previously, Ayan was extremely reserved, making it impossible for people to guess what she was thinking.

But ever since he expressed his feelings and the other party agreed, Xie Liuyan has become more and more vivid in his eyes.

Regarding this version of Ayan, Shen Wangchuan thought: What if I like her even more?

Touching his lips, which were slightly red from being kissed during the day, Shen Wangchuan, satisfied, leaped and headed towards the Shen residence.

It's been a while since I've seen my dad, and I really miss him.

At this moment, he had no idea that a "big surprise" awaited him at the Shen residence.

Shen Wangchuan was as light as a swallow, and arrived at the familiar Shen residence in less than half an incense stick's time.

It was still early, the sky was just beginning to turn dark, and the Shen residence was brightly lit.

Seeing Zuo Zhilin's increasingly arrogant demeanor in the court, Shen Qingcheng was furious. The emperor he supported was still too young and unlikely to amount to anything.

Many important decisions appear to be made by Yunqi, but in reality, they are all made in accordance with Zuo Zhilin's wishes.

If Yunqi had his own ideas, Zuo Zhilin would join forces with ministers he knew to protest using the so-called "ancestral laws".

If he were a military general, it wouldn't matter, but Shen Qingcheng is the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the national treasury's income and expenditure.

The situation is becoming increasingly dire, and the regent Xie Liuyan, who is capable of suppressing Zuo Zhilin, is conspicuously absent.

At this point, Shen Qingcheng sighed to his two sons:

“In the past, your father was too conservative and failed to see clearly who the biggest cancer in Yun Kingdom was. Now that the situation is passive, Zuo Zhilin is trying to win us over both openly and secretly.”

He sighed deeply as he spoke, "I'm afraid that if he fails to win him over, he will get angry and suppress us. If that happens, our Shen family will be in danger."

Shen Fuchuan comforted his father, saying, "Father, you don't need to worry too much. Things will work themselves out. Didn't Wangchuan go with the Regent to find the divine physician? He'll be back soon."

Shen Qingcheng knew that his old friend Xu Suiyuan was always unrestrained and liked to travel around, so he was afraid it would be difficult to find him.

However, a few days ago he received a letter from the other party, which was full of questions about Shen Wangchuan, such as whether Shen Wangchuan had any unusual hobbies.

Or, strange questions like where Shen Wangchuan is currently working or whether he is married.

Thinking about his three sons' situation, Shen Qingcheng really didn't know how to reply to the other party. However, he also had doubts. Although Xu Suiyuan had met Wang Chuan before, was it really necessary for her to be so concerned about his current situation?

It's all Xu Suiyuan's fault for speaking so subtly and preferring to hint indirectly. When he sent the letter, he was still thinking about the relationship between his nephew and Xie Liuyan, and forgot to mention that the two of them were in Medicine King Valley at the time.

Thus, a beautiful misunderstanding was formed.

Shen Lichuan nodded, indicating his agreement with his second brother's point of view.

Just then, the roof tiles rattled, and a man in black leaped down from above.

Before the three could even react in surprise, the other person removed their mask, revealing a set of white teeth, and grinned, "Father, eldest brother, second brother, long time no see, have you missed me?"

The person who arrived was Shen Wangchuan. Shen Fuchuan thought to himself: Here comes the bridgehead.
