I asked you to save the villain, not to take him as your wife!

"Does this have anything to do with you getting your legs broken for going to a brothel?" Bai Yushuang asked back.

Bai Qiuming: “…”

Why is his seventeenth sister always thinking about breaking his legs?

"You see, the situation in the Great Zhou is complicated and difficult to understand right now. We were assassinated before. This Red Sleeves is a good place to get information. I went here just to get information and ensure our safety in the Great Zhou." Bai Qiu Ming explained seriously.

This is indeed one of the purposes, but the most important thing is to observe Zhou Chen.

It has been confirmed that Zhou Ji can no longer act.

Yan Xiao is not in the imperial capital again.

Then the only object of observation is Zhou Chen.

Shouldn't he seize the opportunity?

Bai Yushuang listened carefully to Bai Qiuming's words.

That sounds reasonable.

But she just felt inexplicably that Aman was fooling her.

"Since the Great Zhou is so dangerous, why don't we present the gifts tomorrow and return to Qiuci." Bai Yushuang said.

It was really hard for her to tell whether Bai Qiu Ming was fooling her, but it was always a good idea to just leave this place of trouble.

A-man's safety comes first.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiu Ming covered his face with his hands, choking with silence.

He actually shot himself in the foot.

"No." Bai Qiu Ming flatly refused.

Qiu Ciguo will not go back.

His seventeenth sister is a martial arts fanatic, and she doesn't care much about other things except practicing martial arts.

That's why he was able to continue pretending by relying on the original owner's memory.

But if he returned to Qiuci Country, there would be people there who were familiar with the original owner, and it would be bad if he revealed his true identity.

Besides, Qiu Ciguo didn't have any characters that he needed to observe.

"Why is that?" Bai Yushuang tilted her head.

"We haven't found out who tried to assassinate us yet. How could they just leave like that?" Bai Qiu Ming said angrily.

"You mean, you won't leave until you find the person who assassinated us?" Bai Yushuang asked.

"That's right." Bai Qiu Ming nodded.

Bai Yushuang thought about it and nodded: "We, A-Man, really can't let others bully us for nothing."

"Then find out some information..." Bai Qiu Ming said tentatively.

"Go ahead, but if you do anything else besides gathering information, I won't keep it a secret for you," said Bai Yushuang.

"I'm not that kind of person." Bai Qiu Ming said flatly.

At most, he was a little curious about the ancient brothels and just went in to take a look.

Even if you really ask him to do something, he doesn't have the courage to do it.

When he was in the real world, his fans repeatedly told him to pay taxes and not to sleep.

He may not be good at other things, but his main feature is that he listens to advice.

……

Hongxiuzhao is built on the bank of Bihu Lake.

Part of the building is built in the lake.

Bai Qiu Ming came with two guards.

Before coming here, Bai Qiu Ming was very curious about this ancient brothel.

But when he was really in it, Bai Qiu Ming didn't feel the slightest pleasure of having his curiosity satisfied.

The girls here seem to be smiling, but in fact there is no light in their eyes.

Their hearts are not as happy as their smiles.

This Zhou Chen is really committing a sin.

This kind of plot where a brothel is the male protagonist's secret agent is quite common.

He didn't feel it before, but now Bai Qiu Ming just felt nauseous.

"Let's go." Bai Qiu Ming, along with his guards, turned around and posed with the Red Sleeves gesture.

He suddenly felt that he didn't have to play the role of Zhou Chen.

It is true that a good actor does not choose whether his characters are good or evil.

But those bad characters are bad because they are bad.

And Zhou Chen is the protagonist.

Not to mention how honest and kind the protagonist should be.

But a hypocrite like Zhou Chen should be the villain.

Why should he be the protagonist?

It would be better if he didn't play such a protagonist!

……

East Palace.

"You said Bai Qiu Ming went to Hong Xiu Zhao?" Zhou Ji stroked the white jade token in his hand and looked at his half-kneeling subordinate.

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true. However..." The subordinate changed the subject again.

"Speak." Zhou Ji raised his eyelids.

"After he entered Hongxiuzhao, he looked around and left." The subordinate replied.

"Gone?" Zhou Ji paused as he was stroking the white jade token.

"Yes." The subordinate replied with his head down.

"Can the other matter be investigated?" Zhou Ji asked.

"Your Highness, we have checked and it is true." The subordinate replied loudly.

"Ha!" Zhou Ji sneered.

"Go down." Zhou Ji said to his subordinates.

"Yes." The subordinate bowed and retreated outside the house before turning around and leaving.

As soon as his subordinates left, Zhou Ji sneered a few more times.

Afterwards, he turned into a master of desktop cleaning and swept all the pens, inkstones, tea cups and pen holders on the table to the ground.

"shield……"

"shield!"

"Father, you are so calculating!" Zhou Ji said with a sneer.

He had already asked someone to investigate whether the previous letter was true or not.

Although not all of the information has been investigated yet, two of the facts are confirmed.

I guess the rest is just a matter of time.

But Zhou Ji couldn't understand, what virtue and ability did Zhou Chen have?

Just because the emperor truly loves his mother?

Okay, that's a valid reason.

After all, if he has someone he loves, he will love that person as well.

Unfortunately, he is not the kind of person who loves the whole family.

He is a shield for those who love his wife and his family.

How could Zhou Ji be willing to accept this!

He has been a shield for long enough, it's time to let his father's beloved child bear the responsibilities on his own.

"Someone come here." Zhou Ji shouted loudly.

"Your Highness." Someone quickly came in from outside.

"Clean up this place. Also, ask someone to prepare the carriage. I want to go into the palace." Zhou Ji ordered.

"Yes." The visitor answered respectfully.

Sitting in the carriage to the palace, Zhou Ji's expression was still calm.

But only he himself knows how turbulent the waves in his heart are.

His good father really knows how to make the best use of everything.

He acts as Zhou Chen's shield, and his mother acts as Concubine Xuan's shield, so they can do whatever they want.

A smile appeared on Zhou Ji's face again.

After being a shield for so many years, I have to charge some interest.

Xuan Fei, Zhou Chen, neither of them wants to have an easy life!

……

Talking two ends.

On Zhou Ji's side, after confirming some of the contents of the letter, he went into the palace to discuss with Queen Zhou how to make life difficult for Zhou Chen and his mother.

Bai Qiu Ming met Qi Yu on his way back from Hong Xiu Zhao.

This was of course Qi Yu's deliberate arrangement.

She remembered that in her previous life, Zhou Chen used some tricks to make several princes assassinate Bai Qiu Ming, and finally put the blame on Crown Prince Zhou Ji.

It would be impossible for her to kill Zhou Chen alone.

So she sent a letter to Crown Prince Zhou Ji.

Now, she deliberately met Bai Qiu Ming again.

She wanted to guide Bai Qiu Ming to suspect Zhou Chen.

His Royal Highness Prince Qiu Ciguo is not someone you can easily mess with.

In his previous life, Zhou Chen pinned the blame of the assassination on Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji was the crown prince, and Bai Qiu Ming couldn't do anything to him.

But on the surface, Zhou Chen is just an unpopular prince.

Even if Bai Qiu Ming really killed him, so what?

No matter how angry the Emperor of Great Zhou was, would he dare to go to war with Qiu Ci State?

Qiu Ciguo is now strong in both military and military power and is no longer what it used to be.

Qi Yu didn't believe that the emperor would give up the throne just for his son.
