Shi Chengxuan's pupils shook violently and the roaring sound in his ears became louder and louder.

He didn't remember how he left the Young Master's Mansion. He stumbled and stumbled in a daze as he headed towards the Marquis' Mansion.

What did he hear?

Emperor Mingde called Tang Chujun "Jun'er"!

Emperor Mingde said, please wait for me a little longer!

Oh my god, Chang Wu is a bastard, a dog can't spit out ivory! This is such a big surprise!

Why is this happening? Tang Chujun is a divorced woman! She has been married, had children, and is clearly an old lady. How can she be related to the emperor?

The emperor was reluctant to use the word "朕" and used "我" directly. How could Tang Chujun be so virtuous and capable!

Shi Chengxuan's world collapsed.

He thought he must have heard it wrong. Yes, he must have heard it wrong.

It was all his imagination. He was just dreaming.

Tang Chujun was clearly still his wife, the mother of his children, and the legitimate mother of his illegitimate sons and daughters.

He will treat her well in the future, wholeheartedly, and will never flirt with other women to prove his romantic status.

Shi Chengxuan's steps were unsteady, his whole body was stiff and trembling, he was trying to deceive himself.

However, two people were chasing from behind, one was Chang Wu, and the other was Eunuch Qi.

Eunuch Qi had a gloomy look on his face and waved his whisk to block Shi Chengxuan's way.

He shouted Chang Wu away, and when he saw that there was no one around, he threatened in a shrill voice, "Do you know that if you hear something you shouldn't, you will be punished with death?"

Shi Chengxuan: "!!!"

His pupils trembled again, and his breath got stuck in his throat. He took two steps back, extremely alert, "Qi, Eunuch Qi, what are you going to do?"

Eunuch Qi smiled coldly, "Kill him to silence him!"

Shi Chengxuan: "!!!"

He took two steps back and sat down on the ground, looking at Eunuch Qi in fear, "Emperor, did the Emperor send you here?"

Eunuch Qi sneered again, "Does the emperor need to send us here? Do you think you can survive after hearing the emperor's secrets?"

Shi Chengxuan: "..."

Compared with his own life, it really doesn't matter who Tang Chujun follows.

He was also a talented person, and his eyes were suddenly confused. "What secret did I hear? I didn't hear anything!"

Eunuch Qi's expression softened a bit, and he asked suspiciously, "You really didn't hear it?"

"I didn't hear it." Shi Chengxuan saw that Eunuch Qi was easy to fool, so he hastily assured her, "If I heard it, I would be a dog!"

"Bah! Don't dirty the dog! The dog is a lucky animal! The mascot of Chang'an County!" Eunuch Qi went off the topic.

Shi Chengxuan nodded quickly, "Then it's pig! Pig, pig, pig!" He said with a sad face, "I really didn't hear anything. I don't know anything."

Eunuch Qi swept his whisk and said, "Today I will place your head on your neck. If this secret gets out, I will come and take your head!"

The tail of the whisk swept across Shi Chengxuan's face, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Watching Eunuch Qi walk away, Shi Chengxuan collapsed to the ground, not wanting to move anymore.

Chang Wu ran up to him and said, "Master, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

He couldn't wake her up, so he got anxious and said, "Master, wait! I'll go to the Young Master's Mansion and call someone."

One hand grabbed Chang Wu's clothes, and he said weakly, "You idiot! I was sleeping peacefully at home, but you insisted on saying there was a surprise and asked me to come to the Young Master's Mansion! I had a cold meal and was frightened, and you still wanted to go to the Young Master's Mansion to call for help. You want to kill me!"

Chang Wu said with a bitter face, "Master, I was wrong! Although I don't know what I did wrong, it is my fault anyway. Can you get up? Let's go home."

Shi Chengxuan shook his head. "No. I want to go to Gu's house. Send me there now."

That's my home! Woohoo... I have no home from now on.

When Madam Gu came out, she saw Shi Chengxuan being helped out of the carriage in a dying state.

The first words he said to her were, "I'm here, don't chase me away, I have no home..." After that, he fell on Chang Wu's shoulder with a thud.

This time, I really fainted.

When he woke up again, Shi Chengxuan seemed like a different person, sitting quietly by the window thinking about something. He sat there for several hours without moving, which was impossible for him to sit still in the past.

Madam Gu was very worried, "Chang Wu, what happened to your master?"

Chang Wu touched his head and said, "I don't know. I just went to the Young Master's Mansion, had a meal, and came back like this."

Late at night, Madam Gu came over with a pot of wine to find Shi Chengxuan, "Would you like a couple of drinks?"

Shi Chengxuan shook his head and uttered two words in a deep voice, "I've quit."

Madam Gu smiled, "I don't believe it."

Shi Chengxuan glared at him, "I've quit, so what? Do you think my words sound like farts?"

Madam Gu leaned against the door frame and raised her eyebrows, "When did Lord Shi become so vulgar?"

Shi Chengxuan suddenly remembered that this was the Gu family, and he was living under someone else's roof, so he had no right to yell at anyone.

He immediately frowned and murmured, "I am no longer Lord Shi. I have long ceased to be Lord Shi." He looked up at Madam Gu and asked cautiously, "If I were nothing, would you still let me live here?"

Madam Gu was stunned for a moment, and responded softly, "Master Shi will always be Master Shi in my heart. No matter what you look like in the eyes of others, in my eyes, in my Gu family, you will always be the most honorable person."

Shi Chengxuan's eyes instantly turned red, and his voice was tearful, "Really? You're not lying to me?"

Madam Gu nodded, "Really? I never lie to anyone."

Shi Chengxuan's eyes finally lit up a little, "Well, I'll have a couple of drinks with you!"

Madam Gu: “…”

What about quitting drinking?

After a few drinks, Shi Chengxuan became more talkative. But he remembered that Eunuch Qi had said that if the secret of Emperor Mingde got out, his life would be in danger.

So he could only cry and say, "She obviously already has Mr. Chu Sheng! And she still... wuwuwu... how could she do this!"

He can now accept Tang Chujun marrying anyone, whether it be Mr. Chu Sheng, Lord Huang, the son of the Duke of Dingguo, or any prince, but he cannot accept that person being Emperor Mingde!

Oh my god, why! He is the emperor! He is the emperor of their Northern Wing! Such a noble man is actually with his ex-wife Tang Chujun...

Shi Chengxuan was hungover and when he woke up he learned a great news: the emperor was going to Zhenguomen!

Emperor Mingde was gathering an army of 300,000 soldiers to lead the army in person. This was the first time that the Northern Wing had deployed its forces to march northwards towards the Kingdom of Wan.

He had always wanted to take back the cities and lands that had been occupied by the Wan Kingdom. Before abdicating, he had to fulfill his wish and hand over a complete northern wing to his son Xiao Zhi.

When this news came out, the whole capital was in an uproar.

There was a shock inside and outside the government.

Shi Chengxuan finally understood what those two sentences meant.

"How long will Yunde be gone?"

"At least a year, at most... it's hard to say. Please be patient and wait for me..."
