Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

This time it was Qin Che who escorted us back to the capital, while Ling Hengyuan and the eldest princess returned to the camp first.

Before the eldest princess left, I bowed: "Thank you so much for your help, eldest princess."

The eldest princess got on the horse and pulled the rope, but without looking at me, she said: "Master Chen, please practice more kung fu. Don't always stay behind your little guard. I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime. Come on!"

What she said made sense, and I decided to wait until I had time to learn it later.

After all, learning martial arts cannot be accomplished overnight, it still takes time.

Qin Che sent me directly to the general's residence and told me not to wander around in the general's residence.

I readily agreed to him that I had just experienced a life-and-death battle and I didn't want to experience it again so soon.

Qin Che: "Your Majesty asked me to look at those ministers. I am waiting for my return in the palace."

Me: "Arche, be careful."

Qin Che nodded and left.

I always feel like I've missed something and can't remember it.

At night in the mansion, I kept thinking about who I had offended.

They were the wealthy businessmen whose property had been taken away before, but they had already been dealt with, and their current abilities might not allow them to recruit so many assassins.

Then there are the landowners. It’s not that I mean to offend them. Ling Hengyuan wants to change the law, so he needs a minister to propose it, so I am the one who stands out. The popularity of farm machines will also make farmers' harvests better, but they need land.

The landowners were a hidden danger left by the previous dynasty, so they naturally wanted to find a reason to return the land to the farmers.

As long as their interests are involved, they will naturally resist. There were also some voices of opposition in the court, but Ling Hengyuan was scared away.

Why were you so scared?

Ling Hengyuan took out the dagger and turned it around in his hand, saying: "Stand up if you have any objections."

Who dares to object?

Naturally, no one dares to do so, so sometimes they subconsciously oppose me.

To put it nicely, I am from Ling Hengyuan's side, but to put it mildly, I am just one of Ling Hengyuan's lackeys.

This is also the reason why Qin Che did not want me to continue to serve as an official in the court.

However, I need to improve my reputation. Being an official and doing things for the people is naturally the most effective way.

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that my current situation is indeed a bit dangerous.

Find Ling Hengyuan someday to ask for secret guards. The lackey also needs some personal safety protection.

They came back tonight. They were supposed to return tomorrow, but something happened and they had to return to the capital early.

I had already fallen asleep when Qin Che came back, but I didn't sleep deeply. Maybe it was because I was frightened during the day.

Late at night, I felt someone push open my door. I felt stiff all over. This assassin must be too dedicated. Why didn't the assassination succeed that day? He had to do it again in the middle of the night.

I didn't dare to make any move, thinking about how to call Meng Dong quickly.

The next moment I felt relieved, it was Qin Che who came. The sandalwood on his body was mixed with a faint smell of blood, and I recognized the familiar smell immediately.

I don't know why he came so late. He must have just finished the matter.

Qin Che squatted beside my bed, his breath so close that I felt like he was right in front of me, and I could see his brown eyes when I opened my eyes.

He remained silent. Just when I thought he was sleeping next to my bed, he spoke: "Ajimo is trying to trick me."

I:"……"

The next day, I was called into the palace very early by Ling Hengyuan, and it was Xiao Dezi who came to see me personally.

I was curious: "How come my father-in-law came in person?"

Xiao Dezi: "Your Majesty's orders are naturally based on important people."

Damn it, he seems to be uneasy and well-intentioned at first glance.

When I arrived at the door of Qinzheng Palace, the guard guard said there were people inside and asked me to wait outside.

I looked at Xiao Dezi.

Xiao Dezi had an "I don't know either" expression on his face.

I held my hands, it was still very cold, and just when I was about to fall into memories, someone came out.

It's the eldest princess.

I looked at her a little surprised, surprised that she got up earlier than me.

She looked at me a little surprised and asked me, "Why are you here, sir?"

I said: "Your Royal Highness, please greet me. Your Majesty has summoned me for a humble post."

The eldest princess understood, but she didn't tell me to leave yet. Just when I was wondering, she said: "This princess has been dismissive of Mr. Chen since the first time she saw her. I don't know what kind of waves a person like Mr. Chen can make or what dazzling things he can create. So far, I have not seen Mr. Chen." I still don’t understand why you caught his eye. Maybe you have what he needs. This princess just wants to say that if you are worthless, I’m afraid he will abandon you like worn out shoes. Make plans for your future as soon as possible. "

Xiao Dezi couldn't help but cough. The eldest princess glanced at him and calmed down.

I smiled: "Thank you, Princess, for the tip."

The eldest princess raised her head proudly: "It's good if you know." After saying that, she left.

Ling Hengyuan suddenly came out of the Qinzheng Hall, saw me, and was a little surprised: "You are here? How come no one informed you?"

Xiao Dezi said nervously: "Your Majesty didn't let his subordinates pass the order, so he didn't dare to enter the palace easily..."

Ling Hengyuan looked unhappy: "It's not a big deal, just come in and pass the message next time."

Xiao Dezi: "Yes."

Ling Hengyuan asked me to enter the palace. It was really warm inside. I felt like I would sweat after being dressed so generously for a while.

I entered the topic: "Why did your Majesty call this minister?"

Ling Hengyuan: "Did you just meet the eldest princess?"

I said: "Yes."

Ling Hengyuan: "Tomorrow Beiyin and other envoys will leave Nanyang."

I was surprised: "There are still a few days left in a month, why are the envoys suddenly preparing to leave early?"

Ling Hengyuan said: "Emperor Beiyin's condition has worsened, and I'm afraid he won't be alive for a few days."

I was even more surprised: "But there is only one crown prince in Beiyin who is not even ten years old. How can he be worthy of such a big responsibility?"

Ling Hengyuan wrote and said lazily: "Since the regent is in power, he left early to avoid disputes in the Beiyin government."

I nodded to express my understanding. The envoys from Beiyin all left early, and the envoys from other places were too embarrassed to stay, so they also left.

While I was still thinking, Ling Hengyuan suddenly asked me: "Just now, did the eldest princess say anything to you?"

Um? She said that I should find my own way out. Is this allowed?
