Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy

The imperial guards divided the work and cooperated, digging the mountain and pushing the earth. Wheelbarrows came and went, busy as ever, but there was no dumping of earth.

The son of Wu Zhi, the Vice Minister of War, clapped his hands.

"Stop sitting there, get up and work! If you dare to be lazy, I will bury you all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants fell down one after another.

The gentlemen realized something was wrong and quickly stood up. However, perhaps because they stood up too fast, they felt a black screen in front of them and fell down.

The young master of the Wu family looked around and saw that none of the imperial guards were hurt, but all the people from the other families had fallen.

"There's something wrong with the drinks and meals. It's the king..." Princess.

Fan Hu knocked him unconscious with a palm strike from behind, "Isn't it a little late to realize it now?"

When you are planning something important, you may hide it from your wives, but you will never hide it from your sons or grandsons.

Especially the eldest son and grandson who will inherit the family business in the future, perhaps they are still following the plans of their father and grandfather.

How could Shen Yangui be so stupid as to leave some manpower for Cai Chong?

Regardless of whether they are true filial piety or false filial piety, as their father and grandfather have encountered an accident, they, as the future pillars of the clan, have stayed here today.

Now, all of them, whether they were gentlemen or servants, were carried into the pit they had dug themselves today.

The imperial guards had just been pushing a cart back and forth, already loaded with black powder.

There was a loud bang in the middle of the night, and most of the capital city shook.

Something happened in Luoxia Mountain again, and the young masters from various families who came to dig people out were also buried.

This time Cai Chong came very quickly, at least faster than Shen Yangui.

There was a thin mist in the forest in the early morning, and the troops from various families arrived again.

Having lost their husbands and sons within two days, the ladies had lost their minds. They insisted that Shi Fangtong had offended the mountain god and was being punished.

They pulled at Cai Chong's clothes, crying and shouting for him to give them an explanation.

Cai Chong's clothes were torn and his official hat fell off. His confidants had a hard time rescuing him from the crowd of women.

This was the first time in his life that he felt so embarrassed.

"The sting of a wasp is as poisonous as the heart of a woman!" Cai Chong returned home and angrily overturned the desk, "Shen Yangui is too ruthless! Too cruel!"

He had worked hard for many years, but it was easily destroyed by her in one day.

Throughout history, there has never been such a way of accomplishing anything.

"She doesn't care about anything, doesn't consider anything, she's just a lunatic! A lunatic! Ah!!!"

Cai Chong was so angry that his heart was beating fast and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to eat someone. Mrs. Cai did not dare to open her mouth to comfort him easily.

"Is she going to Luoxia Mountain to win people's hearts again?"

Today's news was not delayed. Mei Yong, the guard who replaced Shi Fangtong, reported back: "The princess did not go to Luoxia Mountain. She returned to the palace."

"Back to the palace?"

"Yes, it is said that Shanniu came back late last night."

Cai Chong's hair was torn apart before he could comb it. He grabbed Mei Yong's neck and angrily said, biting his teeth:

"You mean, General Zhongwu got the imperial seal?"

The imperial seal is his last hope, his last hope!

Mei Yong's face became redder and redder, and veins popped out on his forehead. "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, spare my life..."

Just as he stepped one foot onto the Naihe Bridge, someone rushed in from outside.

The servant shouted in joy: "Prime Minister! He's back! He's back!"

"Who?"

"The one who was looking for the jade seal is back."

"pass!"

Cai Chong threw Mei Yong aside and took two steps towards the door.

The guard's face was covered in blood. He knelt down in front of Cai Chong and handed him a cloth bag with both hands.

"My Lord, I have fulfilled my mission and will exchange the jade seal in Shanniu's hand back."

The black cloth bag was dark in color and had been soaked with blood. The guard had used his last breath to return the bag.

After saying that, he fell straight down.

Cai Chong didn't care about him. He opened the cloth bag, ran to the desk with the brocade box in his arms, and opened the lid.

Inside lay a square jade seal with a dragon pattern.

He carefully spread a piece of paper on the table and the big seal, stained with red mud, fell on the paper.

Cai Chong pressed hard, his hands trembling slightly, and moved the jade seal away. On the white paper, eight words were written:

"Mandated by Heaven, long life and everlasting prosperity"

This was a ray of sunshine in his desperate situation.

"Sir, there is someone outside who wants to see you." The servant shouted at the door of the study.

"Who?"

Cai Chong's voice was filled with alertness, and his hand subconsciously pressed on the jade seal.

"It's General Chen. He said it's urgent."

"Chen Qi?" He must be here for something at this time. "Please come in."

The garrison is now his last bargaining chip.

He relied on Chen Qi, but was also worried that Chen Qi would seize the seal and establish his own empire.

Cai Chong quickly put the jade seal back into the brocade box and closed the lid. He even folded the piece of paper with the words "Received the Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper" printed on it and put it in the book.

The body of the guard at the door had been dragged away.

Chen Qi strode over, the wind created by his footsteps lifted his cloak. He glanced at the bloodstain at the door and walked straight in without stopping.

Cai Chong placed a pile of books on the brocade box and asked casually, "Why are you dressed so warmly today?"

Chen Qi covered half of his face, and the cloak almost covered the other half. He glanced at the window cautiously and lowered his voice and said:

"When does the Prime Minister plan to take action?"

"What's wrong?" Is there something wrong?

"The princess sent someone to the garrison camp this morning to mobilize troops with a tiger talisman, and asked me to bring 20,000 troops into the capital tonight. This is what she gave me."

Chen Qi took out a token from his sleeve.

The Regent Jin Ling was to be used to facilitate his entry into the capital after the city gates were closed.

"She also deliberately left two Red Armored Soldiers behind. It looked to me like they were monitoring me."

Chen Qi's voice was obviously more nervous than usual. "This happened suddenly, and I didn't dare to touch those two people, so I hurried to ask the Prime Minister's opinion."

"tonight?"

Cai Chong's eyebrows were covered with clouds, and his eyes moved slowly. "Shen Yangui likes to surprise people the most. Does she want to accomplish it tomorrow?"

"I don't know. I asked around and it seems like she went to Qingyi Palace after returning to the palace."

"Qingyi Palace? Isn't that where the little emperor is imprisoned?"

"That's right." Chen Qi said suspiciously, "She wouldn't want to take advantage of the prince's illness to hold the young emperor hostage, and follow the example of Feng Shi in the past, to rule the country from behind the curtain, right?"

"Given her ambition, it's possible that she wants to replace the prince and become the female regent."

Cai Chong shook his head slowly, analyzing various possibilities in his mind, "Maybe..."

Maybe she wanted to learn from me, first find an opportunity to come in front of everyone with a legitimate reason, and then kill the little emperor and make herself king!

No matter what the situation is, this little emperor cannot stay!

Chen Qi was still waiting for Cai Chong to continue when the servant stood at the door again:

"Prime Minister, someone is coming from the palace."

"Prime Minister, I came here without telling anyone..."

If people knew that Chen Qiruo came to the prime minister's residence at this time, it would be bad news.

"Don't panic, you stay here and I will deal with him."

Cai Chong reached out and touched his messy hair, then found a hat and put it on his head. He glanced at the brocade box on the table, left his guard Mei Yong behind, and left the study.
