Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

"My dear brother, I did meet General Yue Zhongqi. It was the general who gave me an oral order to come back. I wonder why my dear brother is so anxious to have me come back?" Yunli said respectfully.

The emperor thought to himself that he could not tell Yunli what Yue Zhongqi said, so he smiled and replied gently:

"I miss the days of playing chess with you. Since you left, I can't find anyone around me who can talk to me about everything. Old Seventeen, tell me, am I that scary? Now I know what it means to be lonely at the top."

Yun Li cupped his hands, "Your Majesty has the world in your heart, which is naturally not something that ordinary people can understand. If Your Majesty does not mind, I am willing to come to the palace to accompany Your Majesty from time to time."

The emperor changed the subject and sighed:

"Alas, I am unlucky. Empress Chunyuan is gone, and Imperial Noble Consort Dunmin is also gone. If they were still alive, I would have a virtuous wife and beautiful concubines, and it would be great to be an idle prince."

When Yunli heard the emperor mention Zhen Huan, his heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that Yue Zhongqi revealed something to the emperor?

He tried to remain calm and said:

"My brother is the true dragon emperor, so he is naturally busy. How can he be as idle as a minister?

I will have to go back to the mansion to see Yuan Che later. I have been away for many days and entrusted the child to the housekeeper. I wonder how he is doing now?"

He deliberately turned the topic to the child, trying to avoid discussion about Zhen Huan.

The emperor heard this, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly said loudly:

"That's great. I know you like to travel around. I can't feel at ease if Yuan Che stays in the palace.

Why not send someone to send the child to the palace tomorrow so that he can grow up with my princes and have a companion! "

Yunli was horrified and quickly stood up to decline, but the emperor spoke first:

"The Imperial Consort is a steady person, and I intend to make her the Queen, but my previous two Queens have both passed away, and I am afraid that I will be unlucky in marriage like the previous emperor, so I have not yet appointed a Queen.

When Yuan Che enters the palace, I will hand him over to the Imperial Concubine for care and will definitely not treat him badly, so you don’t have to say anything more.”

Yunli wanted to say something else, but the emperor did not give him the chance. The two began to play chess seriously and no longer discussed the children.

The sunlight shone through the window lattices onto the ground of Tangli Palace, making it appear somewhat mottled.

Shen Meimei sat in front of the window, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

She waved her hand gently, signaling the maid beside her to go and ask when Prince Guo would leave. She had a few words to ask him in person.

Ever since Zhen Huan left the palace, Shen Meimei has always had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart.

Every time she thought of this incident, she would feel a surge of panic in her heart.

During the ten years of the emperor's reign, too many ministers had their property confiscated, and some even had their entire clans exterminated. These cruel realities made her feel extremely terrified.

Shen Meimei knew very well that she was in the palace where the power struggle was fierce and if she was not careful she might end up in an irretrievable situation.

She often reminded herself to stay alert, but faced with such a situation, she still felt powerless and worried that her fate would be as tragic as those ministers whose homes were confiscated and their families were exterminated.

The birds outside the window chirped, as if laughing at her worries.

Shen Meimei took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She told herself that no matter what, she would face it with strength.

"Your Majesty, someone just came to report that Prince Guo has left, but he sent someone to deliver a letter!" Hong Fu said as she presented a secret letter with both hands.
