"I see." Shangguan Zimeng was amazed and said admiringly, "My husband, I seriously suspect that you planned all this in advance, including killing Baichuan."

"Am I that powerful?"

"Of course, in my eyes, my husband is the most powerful."

"Everywhere is great, right?"

He had a wicked smile on his face.

"roll."

Shangguan Zimeng truly felt that this was a big move, forming a perfect closed loop. She even felt that no matter whether Baichuan sent someone to assassinate her last night, her husband would have taken his life.

At noon, Chu Tianze arrived as promised and discussed poetry with Shangguan Zimeng in the yard. The latter's mind was not here at all. She originally thought that this great talent came here to discuss something in secret, but it turned out that he just came here to discuss poetry and articles.

There were two guards next to them who were always watching them. One of them even took out a small notebook to record what they said. It was so pitiful that this talented man was being monitored.

Shangguan Zimeng was almost going crazy. She thought of some famous poems and words from ancient times, gave him the first half of the sentence and asked him to reply with the second half. Then she went into the room and complained to her husband.

Yan Kaiyu was exhausted last night and wanted to catch up on his sleep, but just when he was feeling a little tired, he was shaken by his beloved concubine and instantly woke up.

"Husband, I'm almost bored to death."

Yan Kaiyu sighed lightly, stretched and said, "Tianze is just like this, a literary idiot. We used to exchange letters frequently, just because we had different opinions on a certain article, and we refuted each other in the letters."

"Are you two so close?"

"Yes, this is a long story." He lay down again: "My dear, I am very sleepy now. I will tell you slowly later. I need to catch up on some sleep first."

Shangguan Zimeng pressed on him, not allowing him to sleep, shaking him madly and saying, "You are not allowed to sleep. Last night I begged for mercy and wanted to sleep, but you wouldn't let me. Now I am full of energy, and you can't sleep either."

"Oh, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time."

"Come on, you'll say next time."

Yan Kaiyu looked at her and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine still understands me the best."

"Stop talking about this and quickly give me a way to tell him tactfully that I don't want to discuss this. It's really too boring."

"Then why don't you just give him a sentence and ask him to write the next sentence? Can't you just use this time to have fun?"

Shangguan Zimeng pinched his face and said with a smile: "Guess why I was able to get away and ask you to help me think of a solution?"

Yan Kaiyu showed a helpless expression: "Then how can you let me help you? I can't do anything to him."

"I don't care. We are husband and wife. We share happiness and hardship. I am extremely bored outside, and you are sleeping soundly in the room. This makes me feel unbalanced." Shangguan Zimeng directly pulled him up from the bed: "Come out with me, and let's discuss the article with the talented scholar together."

"Okay, okay, I'll do as my beloved concubine says."

The young couple came out of the house together. Chu Tianze was still thinking hard. His serious look was really admirable.

At this time in the palace, Emperor Khmum was furious and threw the urgent border report that had just been delivered to the palace to the ground in anger.

"Waste! This Zai Kuo is such a waste! A mere little Zhang Lin, in just two days, caused him to lose nearly 10,000 men, and he even had the nerve to ask for military pay and food!"

The King of Yue suppressed his inner ecstasy, stood aside, and respectfully advised: "Brother, please don't be angry. It would be bad if you get angry and damage the dragon's body. Now we still need you to take charge of the situation."

Emperor Jianwen frowned, his face full of anger. He took out a secret letter and handed it to the King of Yue, saying, "This was given to me by Bai Chuan when he came to the palace a few days ago. Bai Luocheng intends to unite with us to attack Ziling from the north and south, but now that the internal strife has not been eliminated, how can I send troops to attack Ziling with peace of mind?"

After reading the contents of the letter, the King of Yue thought that the time had come, and knelt down to plead, "Brother, this is a golden opportunity to destroy Zi Ling. I am willing to share your worries and go to the battlefield to help General Zai Kuo to destroy Zhang Lin as quickly as possible, and then gather the army and send troops to Zi Ling!"

Emperor Wen of Cambodia wanted to achieve great things, but he had no choice but to do so in view of the current domestic turmoil. He immediately issued an imperial decree to appoint the King of Vietnam as deputy commander-in-chief and to set off two days later.

"Tianming, I have to ask you for this! Please don't let me down."

"Brother Emperor, please rest assured. I will definitely assist General Zai Kuo and help His Majesty resolve his worries."

The King of Yue continued, "Brother, I have another request."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I want to take Wanxiang with me. I feel very uncomfortable without her. I hope your Majesty will grant me your permission."

Emperor Wen of Cambodia was eager to have someone around to monitor him, so he agreed without any suspicion.

After the King of Yue left the palace, Emperor Khammuan summoned his attendants and said, "Give my oral instructions to Zai Kuo, and tell him to keep a close eye on the King of Yue. If he makes any unusual move, he will be executed without mercy."

After leaving the palace, King Yue came to the inn to say goodbye. It was called a farewell, but in fact he came to see Chu Tianze.

"I will be heading to the battlefield tomorrow, so I came here today to say goodbye. I hope I didn't disturb your pleasure by coming here so suddenly."

Yan Kaiyu knew that he had another purpose for coming this time, and he also knew that he was going to the battlefield to rebel, so he greeted him with a smile and asked him to sit down.

"The King of Yue is an outstanding martial artist, and his literary talent is even better. How can it be considered as disturbing him if he comes here?"

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

Shangguan Zimeng had been staring at the King of Yue's eyes since he entered the room. She always felt that something was wrong. Although the King of Yue's complexion looked no different from that of a normal person, there was a hint of ominousness in it. Medical books said that this was a sign of poison in the body and the poisoned person was unaware of it.

She didn't say it out loud. After all, it was just a guess. What if it was a lie? Wouldn't that be a joke?

On the surface, the four of them were talking about poetry and articles. The King of Yue knew that someone was watching them, so he deliberately used poetry and articles to convey a message to Chu Tianze: I am going there to rebel, and you and I will work together from inside and outside. I rescued Pingyao and raised her outside the city.

Chu Tianze was shocked, his face was a little dazed, he held the pen and didn't speak for a long time.

Ping Yao was his childhood sweetheart. The dog emperor had been interested in her since he was a prince. After he ascended the throne, he sent people to snatch her away. Chu Tianze was imprisoned in the New Palace at the time and had no idea about it. He only found out later that Ping Yao broke free from the guards on the way to the palace, and died by hitting a stone tablet in anger.

The King of Yue saved her by giving her a death-faking pill while no one was paying attention, and healed her injuries and allowed her to recuperate outside the city.

The reason why King Yue did this was because his beloved was killed by the Dog Emperor. He did not want to see this happen to a kind-hearted person like Chu Tianze, so he rescued Ping Yao without telling the Dog Emperor.

Of course, he also had his own selfish motives. He wanted to use Chu Tianze's influence on the aristocratic family to work together inside and outside to achieve great things.
