After the host binds to the childbearing system, one baby will be born.

"Castrate him and throw him into the water dungeon. Pass on my order and have the Imperial Guards surround the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order. Don't let even a fly out!"

Following Qin Zhao's order, the secret guard stepped forward with a long knife in his hand, raised the knife and cut it directly, and the blood immediately dyed the blade and the floor red.

Marquis Jing'an let out a muffled groan from his blocked mouth, and felt a sharp pain in his lower limbs, so painful that he almost cried out, but the cloth stuffed in his mouth made him only make "wuwu" sounds.

He opened his eyes wide in pain, his eyeballs almost popped out, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his clothes.

Suddenly, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

Qin Zhao reached out and gently picked up Lin Shuwan from the couch, carefully placing her face against his chest.

The cape slipped down, revealing the torn clothes, the peach pink dress was only tied dangerously by a strap, and there were still the ambiguous traces he had left on it.

Qin Zhao's eyes were deep. Seeing this scene, he could imagine more than what happened at that time.

He looked at Lin Shuwan in his arms with heartache. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were tightly closed, as if she was still immersed in fear. He gently stroked her hair, hoping to give her some comfort.

How scared would she be in the evening?

But he was not with her.

The secret guards sent to protect her were also useless. They failed to protect her well!

Qin Zhao held Lin Shuwan in one hand, feeling that the person in his arms was so light. With his other hand, he lifted up the cloak that had slipped down, wrapped up Lin Shuwan and his head, then stood up and left.

Lin Shuwan felt Qin Zhao's warmth, rubbed his head against his neck, and the corners of his mouth hidden under his cloak raised slightly.

Bao Jieer couldn't help but praise: [Tsk tsk tsk, Qin Zhao's guilt and heartache towards you are almost beyond the limit now, it's amazing! This play is amazing to me. ]

Lin Shuwan knew it, scratched his head shyly, and said: [Sister Bao is still a good teacher! ]

Qin Zhao carried Lin Shuwan out of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. His carriage had been parked at the back door for a long time and there was no one around.

Qin Zhao carried Lin Shu in his arms and got on the carriage, heading straight for the palace.

Not long after Qin Zhao and others left, the Imperial Guards arrived with a large number of troops and surrounded the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion. They confined everyone to their respective courtyards and prohibited them from talking or moving.

When the marquis' wife saw the imperial guards rushing in, her face turned pale with fright.

The Royal Guards take orders directly from His Majesty!

The marquis's wife wanted to send someone to call Marquis Jing'an, but was told that he had been taken away.

The Marquis’ wife’s mind suddenly went blank, and she didn’t quite understand what the other party meant. The Marquis had taken Lin Shuwan to his own courtyard at that time, and now the Marquis was taken away by His Majesty’s order, so... what about Lin Shuwan?

Where did she go?

Li Xiaohu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, had a resolute face and was very indifferent. He said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Madam, please don't make things difficult for us. Please stay in the yard. Otherwise, we will be ordered to execute you on the spot."

Upon hearing the words "execute on the spot", everyone present turned pale, shut their mouths, stayed still, and did not dare to ask any more questions.

Li Xiaohu looked at the group of people and saw that they had finally behaved themselves. He snorted coldly, then turned around and left with a knife.

The news of Jing'an Marquis's speech soon spread throughout the capital. The originally peaceful atmosphere became tense because of Qin Zhao's sudden siege of the mansion.

All the officials and noble families who had been on good terms with Marquis Jing'an before couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that Marquis Jing'an's Mansion had done something to make His Majesty so angry!

The Prince of Jin, who was hooked up by Marquis Jing'an, was also frightened at this time. He dared not contact officials from all parties openly and began to refuse visitors behind closed doors.

Moon Tower.

Prime Minister Xiao sat opposite King Kang, with a pot of wine and some side dishes on the table.

Prince Kang had a triumphant smile on his face and said, "Yesterday's assassination was too frivolous. It didn't hurt Your Majesty at all, and it even made Your Majesty suspicious. The capture of Marquis Jing'an was also within our expectations! And they even threw the dirty water on Prince Jin."

Prime Minister Xiao raised the wine glass, clinked glasses with King Kang, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate the enemy. It is still unknown whether what Your Majesty did today is to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and warn us. Now that Your Majesty has firmly sat on the throne, you can't rush to get any position you want, you need to take your time!"

Prime Minister Xiao looked at the unconcealed pride on Prince Kang's face and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. It turned out that the collateral relatives of the Dazhao Dynasty were no match for the orthodox ones, and now each generation is weaker than the previous one.

Prime Minister Xiao looked at the young man in black who had a cold face and didn't say a word.

This young man was extremely handsome, with picturesque eyebrows and sharp eyebrows. Although he was still young, his handsome face already revealed a mature temperament.

His eyes were full of depth and wisdom, and his gaze was sharp, like two sharp swords. No matter who looked into his eyes, they would feel an invisible pressure and would not dare to look down on him easily.

Prime Minister Xiao asked, "My Lord, what do you think about the Imperial Guards surrounding the palace?"

This is King Kang’s legitimate son, Qin Ce, who is eighteen years old this year. He is handsome, has an outstanding temperament, and behaves in a decent and generous manner. He is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is neither overly ostentatious nor timid.

If he could become his son-in-law, Prime Minister Xiao would be extremely satisfied.

Qin Ce said calmly, "Before the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion was sealed, my spy planted in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion sent a message saying that the Jing'an Marquis had taken a fancy to his daughter-in-law and brought her to his courtyard."

Not long after, the Imperial Guards surrounded the Marquis Jing'an's Mansion.

Upon hearing this, the other two people frowned.

Prince Kang said with disdain: "This Marquis Jing'an is so corrupt that he even dares to touch his own son's wife!"

Prime Minister Xiao slowly pondered over these words, then his eyes widened, he looked at Qin Ce in disbelief, and said, "What the prince means is..."

Qin Ce picked up the wine glass and said in an even more indifferent tone: "The details are still unknown, so don't make any rash comments!"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Xiao fell silent.

The atmosphere in the box was a little stagnant for a moment.

After a long while, Prime Minister Xiao changed the subject and asked, "How is the prince getting along with my daughter these days?"

Qin Ce raised his eyes to meet Prime Minister Xiao's gaze, and said in a light tone: "Your daughter is well-educated, gentle and virtuous, talented and beautiful, and is the best candidate for my wife!"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Xiao smiled and said, "It is my daughter's blessing that the prince likes me."

Although this boy is young, he has already shown a maturity and stability beyond his age. His imposing manner is so compelling that no one can underestimate him.

It is still unknown who will win the fight.

Regardless of whether Your Majesty wants to snatch my wife, there are not many women who have been touched by Your Majesty, but how many of them survived?

Qin Ce lowered his eyes slightly, covering up all the dim light, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
