The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 992 I received the deposit from the emperor for buying Gu

Admiration? Shi Anxia was stunned for a moment.

Cen Yuan's question was like a thin blade, gently picking up the memories that she had deliberately sealed away.

She recalled many past events with Emperor Zhaowu in her previous life.

He drove dozens of miles to her palace to ask for advice with a memorial in hand, gave her a hand warmer at the New Year's Eve banquet, and specially had someone move the silver charcoal in front of her... Shi Anxia always believed that Emperor Zhaowu should respect her more than love her.

She frowned, looking confused, "No, can't I?"

Cen Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "Silly girl, it's useless to ask you."

Although this girl is smart, she is a bit slow in emotions. Unless someone comes to her and expresses his feelings seriously, she won't think about it.

Maybe even if you know it in your heart, you will pretend not to know on the surface, which will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Cen Yuan reached out and rubbed Shi Anxia's hair, "Emperor Zhaowu likes you."

He discovered the clues when Emperor Zhaowu came to Lingzhou under the guise of "the emperor guarding the national border."

He saw burning fire in the emperor's eyes.

That is the passion a man feels when he looks at the woman he loves.

We are all men, who doesn’t understand who?

And because he is the emperor, he has a sense of determination to win.

Even though he just had a meal with her in the identity of Ye Xun that day.

You have to know that Ye Xun is just an old man in his fifties, but because his every move and gesture showed a hint of tacit understanding with the Emperor, Emperor Zhaowu became wary of him.

The situation at the table was quite tense. If he hadn't run fast, the situation would probably have been over.

However, Cen Yuan did not expect that Emperor Zhaowu would be bold enough to attack Tang Chujun.

That's the emperor's woman!

Shi Anxia thought back and couldn't understand why. "He is being nice to the kids because he wants to be their stepfather?"

An emperor would put his son on his neck for fun when he had nothing to do. So this was his plan!

"What do you think?" A hint of sadness flashed across Cen Yuan's eyes. "Do you really think your son is cute?"

Shi Anxia glared at him, "Isn't that your son?"

Cen Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, "There is one more thing. I was not by your side when you gave birth. Did Emperor Zhaowu go to the Young Master's Mansion all day long at that time?"

"There were a lot of people running to the Young Master's Mansion during that period, and he wasn't the only one." Shi Anxia said sadly.

Still not able to grasp the distance well enough!

Cen Yuan didn't want to disturb her, so she got back to the point, "Don't worry, as long as he's coming for you, he won't really hurt mother. He just doesn't want to be your nominal brother or sister."

If they became brother and sister, how would the historians record and write about them in the future? Unless he was a foolish emperor who wanted to be infamous for eternity, he would not leave such an ugly stain in the history books.

"So the biggest possibility is that he hid his mother." Shi Anxia felt a little relieved.

Cen Yuan nodded, "I guess the one who is suffering the most right now is not your mother, but the emperor."

He seemed to be on track to win the beauty's heart and was about to live the rest of his life in peace and contentment, but his plans were disrupted by his son, whom he trusted.

I guess the emperor must want to kill someone now!

"We were too careless." Shi Anxia propped up his cheek, his eyes fixed on nowhere, a little empty and a little lonely, "I thought that after getting rid of the King of Jin, I could rest easy. Who knew..."

What if I wasn't careless? Cen Yuan remained silent.

How could he not have thought about it? When he saved Emperor Mingde's life that day, he thought everything was fine. Unexpectedly, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory suddenly said that the emperor's star was dim and might cause the country's fortune to fall.

Emperor Mingde had only a few sons, some were too young, and some were too bad. The only one, the fourth son, was at least verified in his previous life.

If this can't stand the test, who can we trust?

Not only that, in order not to leave any suspicion for the new emperor, Cen Yuan withdrew all the overt and covert forces in the north wing.

Of course, he also needed people to do things in Liang State.

Now that this has happened, it’s a bit tricky.

Cen Yuan suggested, "How about we set off back to Beijing tomorrow?"

Shi Anxia immediately shook her head, "I can't interfere with the affairs of Liang State. But you, now that Cen Ji is dead and the princes are fighting fiercely, it is a good opportunity for you to regain the throne. It is inappropriate to leave at this time."

"Then what do you mean..."

"What I mean is, pretend to be ignorant and use calmness to overcome obstacles." Shi Anxia regained his usual calmness, "I want to see..."

Bei Hui knocked lightly on the carved door, "Is Madam settled?"

"Come in," Shi Anxia reached out to tidy up her hair and sat up straight, "Bei Hui, what's going on?"

Normally at this time, Bei Hui knew the young master was there and would not disturb him easily. But since he came now, it must be something very important.

"It's Master Zhuo. He wants to see the young master and his wife for something."

A quarter of an hour later, Zhuo Qiran arrived.

He hesitated.

"What's the matter?" Cen Yuan frowned.

Zhuo Qiran stammered, "I, I seem to have done something wrong, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

"Whether you should talk or not, you've caused us to quarrel." Cen Yuan had a bad temper and always felt that this guy had done something to let him down again.

Zhuo Qiran hesitated, "Then let me tell you..." He paused, then paused again, and then paused again... Then he was kicked by Cen Yuan.

Although the kick was solid, it was not powerful enough.

Zhuo Qiran made up his mind and closed his eyes, "I received the deposit from the emperor... He wants to buy my Gu."

Cen Yuan: "..."

He took a deep breath, realizing that the kick he had just made was not strong enough.

Shi Anxia: "..."

The shadow of the previous life is still there, coming again?

Bei Fen: "..."

She didn't understand for a moment why the Emperor's asking Lord Zhuo to buy poisonous insects would cause such a big reaction from the Young Master and the Madam?

Zhuo Qiran said with a sad face, "I'm going to start a family soon, and I'll have a lot of money to spend, so I'll earn as much as I can. Besides, he's the emperor, so even if he doesn't give me money, I have to make it for him, right?"

What's more, he gave money!

Shi Anxia said leisurely, "There is also a very luxurious house. Is this also the reward given by the emperor?"

Zhuo Qiran nodded embarrassedly.

Shi Anxia asked calmly, "So what kind of Gu did he ask you to refine?"

"Love Poison." Zhuo Qiran spoke very clearly this time, "I had never thought that the emperor wanted to use the love poison on you, the princess, but, but Bei Hui reminded me just now. She said... I forgot what she said. Anyway, I thought at that time, could it be that the poison was going to be used on you?"

Although Bei Hui didn't understand what was going on, she instinctively felt uneasy.

She was so angry that her face turned pale, but she didn't know what to curse for a moment, because she still didn't understand what the love poison was.

But Cen Yuan and Shi Anxia already knew the truth. It seemed that Emperor Zhaowu had many tricks up his sleeve, kidnapping people and buying poison, and it was a long-planned plot.

Zhuo Qiran stopped himself at the brink of death, "I haven't refined the Gu yet, but if I don't offer it, it would be deceiving the king."

He is now the rat in the bellows, being bullied from both sides.
