Gu Huaizhi sincerely sighed: "Your Excellency is very skilled."

As he said that, he reached out and pulled the knife out: "It's convenient, I have to pick up my wife later, don't let me get blood on her, she is timid."

The secret guard's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and he scolded: "Be more honest!"

Not only him, but everyone present who did not submit to Zhou Nan was also held hostage.

The Duke of Zhen Guo was not afraid at all. He even spat in a very indecent manner: "You were not worthy of being on the throne when the late Emperor was here. Now that the Emperor is dead, you are not worthy of the throne!"

Zhou Nan just felt that these people really couldn't understand the situation.

When he didn't say a word, a kneeling official rebuked him: "I really can't agree with what the Duke of Zhenguo said! Your Majesty put down Chi Zhang's conspiracy. Who else in the world is more suitable than your Majesty?"

The sound of fighting outside the house did not subside, but the fighting became more and more intense.

"have!"

Everyone heard the sound and went away, only to see the Mu family father and son striding towards Zhao Chen surrounded by them.

Zhao Chen looks inconspicuous, but his momentum is never inferior to anyone else.

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, and he felt that he was saved. He laughed loudly: "I knew General Mu that you would come in time. Quick, kill all these people!"

Mu Youde didn't even look at him.

Zhou Nan smiled contemptuously: "Go and tie up the Mu family father and son!"

However, Liu Shan, who was closest to him, turned around and grabbed Zhou Nan's throat: "How dare you!"

The situation changed so quickly that everyone in the palace, including Zhou Nan, was stunned.

"you!"

Liu Shan had a serious and indifferent look on his face: "Your Majesty is so eager for quick success that he didn't realize that the soldiers who followed you into the palace killed each other on the way with Chi Zhang's men, causing countless casualties. How could he withstand the Mu family's army?"

"Impossible. After Zhou Yi took back the military talisman, he ordered Mu's army to go to the frontier fortress long ago! The journey back will take more than two months! How can they return? Zhou Yi's soldiers are incompetent and weak. Even if Mu Youde obeys orders this time, he will not be able to return.

How can you compete with me!"

Zhao Chen said gently: "That's wrong, the Mu family's army only obeys orders from the Mu family."

The Mu family army has been stationed outside the city, not to mention that he has been preparing for decades, and there are countless elite soldiers below!

As soon as Zhao Chen's voice fell, he saw the soldiers in the room who heard him ordering everyone to hold people down put down their knives and knelt down in front of Zhao Chen.

Zhou Nan: "You guys!"

Zhao Chen continued to laugh: "I forgot to ask, can my people be used well by the prince?"

Zhou Nan was in a state of confusion and was about to call the secret guard when he saw Gu Huaizhi taking a breath and raising his hand to slap the person behind him who was restraining him to the ground.

That’s right, it’s a shoot!

With a 'bang' sound, his heroic and invincible secret guard became motionless, causing the dust to fly away.

If his eyes weren't still rolling, he would have suspected that the other party was dead!

Gu Huaizhi patted the wrinkled robe and kicked the person on the ground with dignity: "I told you to stay away from me. Imperial Physician Yong's Cartilage Powder is really useful."

Soon, the secret guard was tied up and carried out by the guards.

Zhou Yi always felt that something was wrong, but soon fell into excitement again.

The officials on the ground followed the trend and were dumbfounded:...

Zhao Chen stared at Zhou Yi who was still bleeding from the wound for a moment: "The result of the investigation of Zhou Heng, the guilty minister that the emperor asked me to investigate, has been concluded."

Emperor Hui smiled slightly and didn't even care about the pain: "You said it."

"After the first emperor passed away, he issued an edict to succeed his second son Zhou Heng as emperor. Zhou Heng was concerned about the mountains and rivers and refused. In the first year of Ming Hui, his eldest son Zhou Yi succeeded to the throne."

Emperor Hui was stunned.

"Eleven years ago, you were afraid of Prince Jing and even coveted Princess Jing. Prince Jing refused. Overnight, the name of treason was only thrown at Prince Jing's palace. The unfounded charges should indeed be overturned!"

When the courtiers heard this, they were stunned.

"Shut up! Who are you!" Emperor Hui's emotions turned into excitement.

Zhao Chen stepped forward, and under the horrified look on Emperor Hui's face, he spoke clearly: "My nephew Zhou Xu has met my uncle."

Three days later.

summer resort.

Ruan Zhen took a small sip of the sweet soup. She breathed out in a sleepy and delicate manner.

"If your concubine is sleepy, why not go and have a rest."

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips: "But I just got up."

An Qi: Yes!

Liu Weiran joked: "You have looked much plumper in the past few days, but now you are sleepy. I thought you were pregnant without knowing it."

The woman's thin white and soft jade fingers suddenly loosened, and she heard the porcelain spoon hitting the wall of the bowl, making an extremely crisp sound and splashing a few drops of sweet soup.

Ruan Zhen covered up her gaffe and wiped the stained skirt with a handkerchief.

Liu Weiran looked at her suspiciously.

"You won't really let me guess right?"

An Qi looked serious and quickly explained for Ruan Zhen: "How is it possible? We, the Crown Princess, have been taking health-replenishing medicine these days, and we also have contraceptive prescriptions on us."

Liu Weiran nodded: "Okay."

Ruan Zhen was in a daze, and Tan Yun was always waiting for her. Naturally, An Qi would not know that her menstrual period had not come for more than a month.

She did have a sachet, and she would hang it in front of the bed when she and Gu Huaizhi were in the same room. But she didn't take it with her before going out.

The night Gu Huaizhi sent her to the villa, he was extremely fierce, as if he wanted to use all his strength on her.

Not that night...

Ruan Zhen's thoughts were a little confused.

Liu Weiran: "What are you thinking about? You're not talking?"

Ruan Zhen murmured, covering her flat belly with her hands, with a blank look in her eyes: "I want a child."

She was surprised and a little uneasy. This was something she had been looking forward to for a long time. She didn't dare to think about it in her previous life. In this life, the corners of Ruan Zhen's eyes were a little moist, but she didn't dare to say anything. She was afraid of making a mistake and making a joke.

Liu Weiran: Last time I thought about a man, this time I thought about children, will I think about grandchildren next time?

I don’t know how long it took, but Ruan Zhen asked in a very low voice: “Is there a doctor in the villa?”

"Yes? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips and pointed with her pink fingertips: "Xiao Hui is not feeling well."

Xiao Hui looked at Ruan Zhen from the corner of his swarthy eyes for a second, then he lay down, making a gesture of discomfort, and barked feebly.

However, after less than two seconds of cooperation, the tip of his nose moved, as if he smelled a familiar smell, and he jumped out energetically! It caused a gust of wind.

Liu Wei Liu Weiran: "Not feeling well?"

Every time Xiao Hui did this, it was just to welcome Huaizhi. Ruan Zhen was stunned for a moment, with joy on her brows, then she stood up and followed him quickly.

As soon as she left the yard, she saw a man in white clothes coming not far away with his hands behind his back. He had an outstanding appearance, was dignified, and had a tall and tall figure.

Their eyes met.

The woman's skin is as good as snow, her brows and eyes are sparkling, three generations apart, but she is still the same as when we first met.

Gu Huaizhi's eyes darkened.

He chuckled: "Come here."

Ruan Zhen didn't even think about it, and her quick walk turned into a trot.

Gu Huaizhi frowned and stretched out his arms, waiting for her to fall into his arms.

However, the young lady stopped midway and touched her belly in confusion and nervousness.

Gu Huaizhi:???

Ruan Zhen didn't leave either. She turned her head and looked at the handsome Gu Huaizhi. For a moment, various scenes in her dream seemed to appear in front of her eyes. A smile overflowed from her mouth, and then she blessed her body gently.
