After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

“If your Majesty doesn’t trust me, you shouldn’t have given the Dragon Shadow Guard to me.” Chu Yanchen said calmly.

"That's the Dragon Shadow Guard!" The emperor looked at Prince Jing, his eyes shining brightly.

It's just a matter of swearing an oath, and the Dragon Shadow Guard will belong to him.

The strength of the Dragon Shadow Guard is enough to take the head of a general from an army of millions.

On the surface, the emperor has a special organization called the Embroidered Uniform Envoy, which has a low position but great power.

Eavesdropping on officials, arresting and assassinating people are all their specialties.

It is also a powerful tool for the emperor to control all officials.

But secretly, the emperor still has a sharp sword in his hand, which is the Dragon Shadow Guard.

The Dragon Shadow Guard is the best of the best, and after years of iterations, it has become increasingly sharp.

The emperor thought that Chu Yanchen didn't know how powerful the Dragon Shadow Guard was. "You know, if I hand the Dragon Shadow Guard over to you, they will be loyal to you."

"By then, with your influence and the weapon in your hand, you will be only one step away from the throne!"

Chu Yanchen smiled, "Father, there is no need to test me. I really have no such intention."

The emperor sighed softly, knowing that he had misunderstood.

Thinking about the oath he wanted him to take, the emperor shook his head.

Before even saying what the oath was, Chu Yanchen flatly refused to exchange the oath for the Dragon Shadow Guard.

He is a child of principles.

If I make a vow, he will be even less likely to agree. Not only will he not agree, but there will probably be a rift between father and son.

"Forget it. There is no reason to take back what I gave you."

"Take it."

The emperor closed his eyes and sighed. He would be uneasy if his favorite fourth son was really killed.

Giving him the Dragon Shadow Guard was just to give him the ability to protect himself.

"Father, your Majesty won't allow me to swear an oath?" Chu Yanchen looked at the jade token in his hand.

The emperor snorted, "I asked you to swear, but you still want to return the jade token?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will suspect you of having a desire to compete?"

Chu Yanchen chuckled and put the jade token in his arms, "Father, you still believe in me, otherwise I won't even be able to see this jade token."

Seeing his scoundrel-like smile, the emperor shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Go away! Stop irritating me here!"

Chu Yanchen took his leave and left the hall.

The emperor looked at his receding figure, his smile faded, and he murmured to himself, "Please don't disappoint me."

"Cough cough cough..."

When He Hongxi came in with a cup of tea, the emperor suddenly started coughing.

He Hongxi quickly placed the teacup beside the large imperial desk and stepped forward to help the emperor hold his back and relieve his tension.

After a while, the emperor finally recovered his breath, his face red from coughing, "I am old, I don't know how many more years I can accompany them."

He Hongxi's eyes became hot, and he quickly said, "Your Highness..."

The emperor smiled and shook his head. Even an emperor could not escape birth, aging, sickness and death.

I just hope that after his death, even if they can't live in harmony, they won't kill each other.

Among the four children, the one he trusted most was Chu Yanchen's character, although this child had fought on the battlefield and killed countless people.

But he is not the kind of person who would wield the butcher knife against his own people.

As soon as Chu Yanchen returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, Long Yi from the Dragon Shadow Guard came to report to him.

He also told him many rules and secrets of the Dragon Shadow Guard.

Chu Yanchen looked at Long Yi for a while, "Wait a minute!"

Chu Yanchen asked Long Yi to wait in the study, while he asked someone to invite Song Mingli and Jingyou.

Long Yi was stunned and wanted to leave immediately.

Chu Yanchen called him, "Come, meet the master."

Long Yi: "..."

The master of the Dragon Shadow Guard has always been one person.

Except for the emperor, no one else was sure whether the Dragon Shadow Guard really existed or just existed in legend.

This Prince Jing was so good. After paying him a visit, he actually called his wife and children over!

And let the Dragon Shadow Guard recognize its master?

"The Dragon Shadow Guard has only one master," Long Yi looked at Prince Jing with his eyelids twitching, "Who is the master?"

"This is the princess, and this is my son. We are a family of three, and we are one," Chu Yanchen said, "naturally, they are all masters."

"The closest relatives and the most distant relatives are husband and wife. Your Majesty should have heard this." Long Yi said seriously.

Chu Yanchen was very displeased when he heard this.

"That's the logic of others. For me, husband and wife are one."

Long Yi stopped talking, but he did not show any sign of acknowledging his master.

"Really not?" Chu Yanchen looked at him and said.

Long Yi stood there with his hands clasped, saying nothing.

“In that case…” Chu Yanchen sighed softly.

Long Yi felt relieved as well. The prince finally accepted the Dragon Shadow Guard and stopped making trouble.

"Then I will acknowledge the princess as my master." Chu Yanchen said firmly.

Long Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Yanchen in surprise.

How could a dignified Prince Jing be so blinded by lust and completely fall under the spell of a little woman?

This is the Dragon Shadow Guard!

He actually transferred the Dragon Shadow Guard to a woman?

"Your Highness, you are joking. I am a woman and this general is so arrogant, how can I submit to him? I heard that the generals in the army are given positions based on their ability. Your Highness, please don't refuse." Song Mingli said gently.

Long Yi glanced at her. Although she said that she was arrogant, what she said later was right.

The capable ones shall occupy the positions, and...it is important for people to know themselves.

Chu Yanchen looked at Long Yi and pondered for a moment, "Then I will temporarily act as the princess's agent. I will not hide anything from her."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Song Mingli smiled and nodded at him.

The way he respected and honored her made Song Mingli feel warm in her heart.

When Long Yi looked at Jingyou's face, which had delicate eyebrows and eyes and looked 70% like a prince, he suddenly remembered something.

He also remembered that just before the princess and the prince came, Chu Yanchen asked them what else the Dragon Shadow Guards were good at besides "assassination"?

The prince gave away the Dragon Shadow Guard so easily, maybe he really didn't understand the strength of the Dragon Shadow Guard?

Long Yi bowed and said, "Since the master is not hiding anything from the princess and the prince, I have something to report."

"what's up?"

"There is a counselor in the East Palace who privately suggested that the Crown Prince give the Crown Prince a strange poison..."

Before Long finished speaking, the atmosphere in the study suddenly changed.

But no one was in a hurry to speak, and everyone looked at Long Yi.

The family of three was calm and in good order.

"This poison usually has no symptoms, but after a month, you must take an antidote. If you miss it for more than a day, your internal organs will ache as if they were run over by a wheel."

"The longer the time is exceeded, the more severe the pain will be. If you don't take the antidote on the seventh day, you will die from the pain."

Chu Yanchen's face was so dark that ink seemed to drip out. His beloved son had just saved the life of the prince's son not long ago, and the prince's adviser actually wanted to poison Jingyou!

He asked to resign and leave the capital to go to his fiefdom, but the prince refused and even threatened to detain his son. That would have been fine.

It’s not enough to detain him now, you also want to poison me?

"Did the prince agree?"

"Not yet."

Song Mingli felt that this approach was somewhat familiar, like someone's style.

"What's the counselor's name?"

Long Yi always reported directly to the emperor before, and this was the first time he was questioned like this by a woman.

He was a little uncomfortable, and after a pause he said, "Cheng Li."
