"The power of the Chen family in the seven major feudal kingdoms cannot be underestimated by the princes and kings?"

Zhao Cuo was eating the sweet almond cake and thinking about what to eat for dinner. Suddenly he raised his head and looked at the Grand Master who was eating sweets wholeheartedly, and asked doubtfully.

"Didn't you just hear what Princess Ning's maid said?"

Chu Biezhi took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly before saying.

"In this southwest land, even the Seven Kings give face to the Chen family of Xishu."

"The first time I knew that the Chen family of Xishu was talking about Princess Ning with colleagues in the execution department. At that time, they said that the late emperor loved Prince Ning so much that he proposed to marry the Chen family's daughter to him..."

He thought of a question with some surprise. Since the Chen family of Xishu was so powerful, the late emperor didn't want their support. Why did he give up Princess Ning to others?

If the late emperor married Princess Ning, would you be able to tie Mrs. Chen to your chariot? There is absolutely no need to use her to win over Prince Ning or use her as a secret move.

This in the end is why?

"What is so great about the Chen family?"

Young Master Zhao continued to ask Master Chu.

"I don't know very well, but apparently the Chen family made their fortune in mining and is also related to many martial arts sects."

Master Chu thought about it and said.

"so……"

He took a bite of the almond cake and didn't think about it anymore. Suddenly he raised his head and looked at the door of the lobby. A secret guard of the East Palace in black robe walked in quietly.

"Secret Guard Su must have some important news when he comes here, right?"

Zhao Cuo quickly stood up politely.

"exactly."

Secret guard Su Ping quickly stepped forward and took out a secret box.

"This is news sent in by someone from outside. It is said to be related to the Huainan Kingdom. Please check it out."

He took the box from Su Ping, opened it, picked up the letter inside, and opened it after confirming that the seal was intact.

‘The Prince of Huainan and Princess Anle came to represent Emperor Yongzhao to attend King Yan’s World Heroes Conference?’

The young father-in-law looked at the contents on the letter and thought silently in his heart.

"There are also items here that the Queen Mother sent to the Imperial Envoy."

Su Ping waited quietly for him to read the letter and then took out a locked box.

"good."

Zhao Cuo's eyes lit up and he took the wooden box he handed him.

This is the box he specially used to make secret folds for his empress.

What he expected was the special sentiment of a bad woman.

'Have you written to me?'

After he took out the key and opened the box, in addition to the envelope he handed over, there was also an envelope.

Although the young master couldn't wait, he still picked up the book first. He wanted to read the devil's approval first.

He gently opened the folder handed over half a month ago and looked at the reply section.

"As expected of you..."

Zhao Cuo couldn't help but laugh when he saw the extra bright red lip marks on the blank space where Zhu Zhu should have been. This was indeed what Sister Lan would do.

'Why would a bad woman write to me?'

He picked up the envelope in the box strangely.

The Queen Mother asked him to write a letter of condolences every three days, but she never communicated with him intimately in writing, let alone wrote letters.

Zhao Cuo opened the envelope with doubts and took out a few pieces of yellowed letter paper inside. He was immediately relieved.

'Did your Majesty turn over the late Emperor's study and living room again during this period?'

He saw that the things in his hands should be related to Princess Ning.

Although he longed for his wife to write loving words in the letter, her support in action was more heart-warming, and he liked this feeling very much.

Young Master Zhao laid out several pieces of letter paper on the dining table. The delicate handwriting on them was undoubtedly written by Princess Ning, and the signature was the word "salt".

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】

[Stop writing to me]

Zhao Cuo learned from the first letter that the relationship between Princess Ning and the late emperor had long since broken down.

[I really don’t know what you are talking about. Why does His Majesty the Emperor Dayu bother a weak woman like me? Please don’t reply again]

On the second piece of paper was a puzzling sentence.

[My family has nothing to do with the King of Huainan and the Xisha Kingdom]

The last letter made him narrow his eyes.

The amount of information is huge! The late emperor suspected that the Chen family of Xishu was connected with the King of Huainan? Returned to Xisha Kingdom?

Zhao Cuo was once taken to the Xisha Kingdom by Xia Yaonv and was baptized by the Gu tribe's high priest. The Chen family actually flirted with foreigners?

"Master Imperial Master, please take a look."

He handed the letter to Master Chu who was still eating almond cake.

"The words in these three letters were all written by Princess Ning to my brother, right?"

At this time, the secret guard Su Ping who sent the message had left, and they were the only two left in the hall, able to plot loudly.

"If nothing else, there should be nothing wrong."

Zhao Cuo frowned and nodded.

"What do you think?"

"My imperial brother will not doubt anyone casually."

Chu Biezhi put down the letter with a solemn expression and said.

"The Huainan royal family is now colluding with the Gu master forces in southern Xinjiang, and the Chen family of Xishu may be connected with the Xisha Kingdom. These two families..."

Young Master Zhao suddenly felt a little horrified when he heard her words.

Could it be possible that these two cultivators are connected?

He didn't believe there was no conspiracy.

"Master Imperial Master, you should know that the Huainan royal family also has the surname Chen, right?"

Zhao Cuo suddenly asked, when he was in Jiangnan Mansion, he still called Prince Huainan "Brother Chen"!

"Do you think the Huainan royal family and the Chen family of Xishu are related by blood? I have never heard of such rumors. The surname Chen is a common surname everywhere."

"But it can't be a coincidence when it comes to these two families."

He stroked his chin thoughtfully and raised a very reasonable suspicion.

"The southern border is in the southernmost part of Dayu, and the Xisha Kingdom is located in the far west. However, the Gu cultivator and the Gu clan are connected through the two Chen families."

The young master has not forgotten Princess Anle of Huainan. She reached the seventh realm at the age of fourteen. This is not normal.

"Your suspicion is not unreasonable, but the late emperor only had suspicions about the Chen family's collusion with the Xisha Kingdom, and there is no evidence."

"It just so happens that Prince Huainan and Princess Anle are going to Pingjing today, right?"

Zhao Cuo focused on the secret letter just sent by the secret guard of the East Palace.

"You don't want to rob and kill them, do you?"

Chu Beizhi looked at him strangely.

"Of course it's not advisable to alert the enemy. Aren't you here, Master National Preceptor? We can eavesdrop."

Since ancient times, when two countries are at war, they will use any means to obtain important information from the other side.

"There's nothing they can do if they bring the fire bearer."

Master Chu shook his head and said.

"There is a Gu god named Mr. Gu among the Gu cultivators in southern Xinjiang. However, he was injured by the Queen Mother in Huainan Kingdom last time. He should not recover so quickly."

"We can try, but we have to go outside Pingjing to stop people, so it doesn't matter even if other people raising fires notice us."

Chu Biezhi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Without further delay, let's set off now and block the only way to Pingjing."

As Zhao Cuo spoke, he quickly put away the materials on the table.

"I know how to call you all day long."

Chu Beizhi complained softly, but still stood up. At this time, he did not forget to pick up the last almond cake on the table.
