After hearing Ling Xiche's guess, Shen Chen immediately sent additional people to Zhaoguo to inquire about the news, trying to find that Miao Miao among Zhaoguo's aristocratic sons and daughters, but they found nothing.

Among the high-ranking princes in Zhaoguo who fit that age group, there is no one with the word Miao in their name, and no one has heard of anyone whose breast name is Miao Miao.

In addition to inquiring among the princes of the aristocratic family, Duanguo's spies also inquired about the news about the subjugated prince of Yeguo, but found nothing.

The only useful news is that there are spies in Zhaoguo Palace who reported that there is indeed a young man in Chengming Palace, the emperor's bedroom, who can go in and out freely. The young man appeared in Chengming Palace after a year. They left the Duanguo Palace on the eve of the Chinese New Year, so the time coincided, but if they wanted to inquire further about the identity of the young man, they couldn't find out. All the people in the Chengming Palace were not generally tight-lipped.

Shen Chen returned to Chenle Palace after finishing the matter, Ling Xiche was waiting for him.

"Shen Chen, how's it going, did you find out?"

Shen Chen walked to his side, "That Miao Miao should not be the son of a noble family in the Zhao Kingdom. Moreover, it is reported that there is a young man living in the Chengming Palace of the Zhao Kingdom, who has been going in and out with Yu Chirui all the time, but what is the identity of that young man?" I can't figure it out. The people in Chengming Palace are very strict with their mouths. If they ask too much, they will lead to death. But judging from the time, he only appeared in Zhao Kingdom after a year. If he appeared at that time After arriving at Duanguo Palace, staying outside for a few days, and then going to Zhaoguo, then this time is right."

Ling Xiche pressed his heart, inexplicably flustered.

"Then, is he the Crown Prince?"

Shen Chen said, "It's really hard to say."

Seeing Ling Xiche's worried face, Shen Chen went to hug him.

"what happened?"

Ling Xiche looked up at him, "His Royal Highness, he has seen me. He knows that I am in Zhao Kingdom. If it is really him, my identity may be exposed."

Shen Chen hugged him comfortingly, "But he didn't know that you were Concubine Mei, and besides him, except Xiao Yu and Qi Yuan, no one knew that you were still alive. Even if he said empty words, others might not believe it."

Ling Xiche lowered his voice and said, "No, I think Yu Chirui will believe it. If I switch positions with him, I would rather believe it than not believe it."

Shen Chen touched his face, "But I think Yu Chirui must not be as smart as you."

Ling Xiche turned her face sideways and pressed it against his hand, "I don't have the confidence to say that my strategy must be superior to his. After the incident with Concubine Qi, he came to assassinate me, which shows that Concubine Mei has attracted his attention. Now If he knew that I was still alive and Concubine Mei was from the Ling family, he might not be able to deduce the truth."

Shen Chen couldn't say anything to comfort him either.

Indeed, if everyone found out that Concubine Mei was actually Ling Xiche, I don't know what would happen.If others don't talk about it, the Xu family will definitely not let him go, and it will be difficult to block the rumors of the government and the people.

Shen Chen hugged his waist tightly, "Xi Che, if it really doesn't work, at worst I'll take you away."

Ling Xiche was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

"Isn't the emperor still doing it? Then if you regret it in the future, there will be nowhere to cry."

Shen Chen moved closer to him, "Xi Che, no matter what happens, I will protect you. If one day, you and the throne can only choose one or the other, then if I give up on you and choose to be a loner, You are really stupid. Why choose cold power when you can choose beautiful things?"

It was rare for Ling Xiche, his eyes were a little moist, he tried his best to pull out a small smile, and said, "If you don't become the emperor, what can you do? How do you support yourself?"

Shen Chen smiled, and brushed Ling Xiche's hair, "My Xiche is so talented, how could he be a teacher? Then of course I depend on you to support me."

"You have been pampered since childhood, it must be difficult to raise."

"is acceptable."

Ling Xiche took the initiative to hug him, and said softly, "Nothing has happened yet, we still have time."

Shen Chen touched the back of his head, "Xi Che, you are really getting clingier."

Ling Xiche still stuck to his body tightly, "If I knew from the beginning that I would be so inseparable from you, I would have cherished it from the beginning, and treated you like I am now."

Shen Chen gently stroked his back, "Time cannot be repeated, but we can cherish the future, at least our future is still very long."

"Well, it's very long."

In the Changqiu Palace, Concubine Xu Gui walked out of the palace gate alone without bringing anyone with her, and stopped when she reached a deserted corner of the palace garden.

There was only one maid who had never seen it before, and she wondered if she had made a mistake.

Seeing that she had arrived, the servant girl went over to salute her.

"Your Majesty's Concubine."

Concubine Xu Gui asked tentatively, "Did my father ask you to come?"

The servant girl didn't answer, she walked up to the imperial concubine and held her hand.

The imperial concubine was puzzled, when she suddenly felt that she stuffed something into her hand, and looked down, it was a small ceramic bottle.

Can't help but ask, "What is this? Did my father ask you to give it to me?"

The servant girl nodded and replied, "This is a strange poison in southern Xinjiang called Hongmeizui. I heard that this poison does not come from the human world. Therefore, no matter how skilled the doctor is, they cannot save the person who has been poisoned by Hongmeizui. "

The imperial concubine trembled in her hand, and almost dropped the medicine on the ground, "My father means, let me poison it? Who?"

The servant girl asked back, "Master took all the effort to find this Hongmeizui, isn't it just to match with that one, doesn't the imperial concubine understand?"

"You mean, my father asked me to poison Concubine Mei? Why? Did my father also have a relationship with Concubine Mei?"

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't ask too much, don't ask too much."

Concubine Xu Gui looked at the person in front of her, although she was dressed as a maid, but for no reason, it made her feel apprehensive.

"There is no suitable opportunity now. Concubine Mei's daily diet is with the emperor. The imperial dining room must be very strict, and even if he can poison his diet? What will the emperor do? What if the emperor misuses it?" what to do?"

The servant girl didn't answer directly, "The imperial concubine should not act rashly for the time being. If you do something now, it is really not easy to succeed in the palace. But soon, there will be a big event. At that time, there will be a good time outside the palace."

"A major event? What major event? Is there any major event that requires you to leave the palace recently?" The imperial concubine was puzzled.

"It's good for the imperial concubine to just wait."

After the servant girl finished speaking, she left the imperial concubine who hadn't fully figured it out, and left alone.

Zhao country.

At Chenshi, Zhao Jihe saw that Yu Chirui was still asleep, so he didn't bother him, went out to find Gao Yun to practice martial arts by himself, and came back exhausted after practicing for half an hour. He hadn't woken up yet, so he sat by the bed and watched him sleep.

Yu Chirui didn't seem to be sleeping well, and it didn't take long for him to wake up from his sleep.

Seeing this, Zhao Jihe patted him lightly, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Yu Chirui found out that it was a dream, he breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and said softly, "I'm fine, but I dreamed about Ling Xiche, I dreamed, I lost to him."

Zhao Jihe heard that he was having a nightmare, so he got down on the knees and hugged him to comfort him.

"I just told you not to ignore him, and you don't need to care so much. It's okay, you won't lose to him."

Yu Chirui took a deep breath, raised his voice and said, "Come here."

The palace servants on duty outside immediately came in, "Your Majesty."

Yu Chirui propped up his body slightly, "I'm going to the imperial study, wait for me to get up."

Zhao Jihe quickly stopped him, "I can't. What are you thinking, you are struggling to walk a few steps in this palace now, and you still want to go out?"

"Ling Xiche is still alive. This is a major matter. I need to discuss it with all the ministers."

Yu Chirui said that he forced to get up, but before he got out of bed, he fell into Zhao Jihe's arms.

Zhao Jihe hugged him distressedly, "What do you think you are going to do? If you are really in a hurry, then you can call them over. Anyway, everyone knows that you are injured, so you can just discuss matters in the bedroom. It's okay."

Yu Chirui didn't insist anymore, and reported several official names to the eunuch, and asked him to pass them on.

Zhao Jihe supported Yu Chirui to sit on the bed, and helped him straighten his sleepy hair, "It seems that I am responsible for your injury. I thought you knew that Ling Xiche was not dead, but I didn't think you didn't know, otherwise I told you a long time ago. If I had told you, maybe you would not be so careless when you go out this time, and you would not be injured."

Yu Chirui raised his phoenix eyes and looked at him, "Ling Xiche, he is your cousin, are you really willing to stand by my side and betray your cousin?"

Zhao Jihe thought for a while and said, "I don't think it can be regarded as my betrayal of him. He surrendered to Duanguo, and I am his young master. Didn't he betray me first? Putting personal relationships aside, what's wrong with me choosing you? Like him, choose Shen Chen who ruined our country?"

"You blame him?" Yu Chirui asked.

Zhao Jihe thought about it again, and said, "No, I don't hate him, but if he wants to hurt you, then I can only choose to stand against him."

Hearing this, Yu Chirui couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Jihe lowered his head in embarrassment, "He is serious, why are you laughing?"

"When you first came, you were shy, timid, and loved to cry, but I still thought that you were a tiger cub, and any tiger cub you care about is also a tiger, but I didn't expect that you were raised by me as a little wolf dog."

"Hey? Little wolf dog? How can you say that about me?" Zhao Jihe leaned over and hugged him, "I was just seduced by your beauty, you are a great beauty, you are a great charmer."

Yu Chirui pushed him away, "Get up for me."

Zhao Jihe scratched his head and sat up straight, and caught a glimpse of a bowl of porridge suddenly appearing on the table.

So, someone sneaked in just now?Did you go out quietly because you saw an indescribable scene?

Zhao Jihe didn't want to think too much, went over and took the porridge and sat back by the bed, "Beauty, you should have some porridge."

"Where did you get the porridge?"

"It should have been delivered just now, and just in time to see us hugging, they sneaked out again."

Zhao Jihe scooped up a spoon, only to realize that Yu Chirui blushed.

"Beauty, I'll feed you."

"Don't drink."

"Beauty, you are self-willed again." Zhao Jihe stretched out his hand to rub Yu Chirui's stomach, "Otherwise it will hurt here too, don't be self-willed."

Yu Chirui said unhappily, "It hurts a little from your anger."

"What? Does it really hurt?" Zhao Jihe immediately became nervous, "When did you start to hurt? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Just as Zhao Jihe was about to call for an imperial physician, Yu Chirui stopped him, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Yu Chirui couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he's just a child, did he actually lose his temper with him?He was really childish.

He said, "I took a few sips, maybe it's because I haven't eaten for too long."

Zhao Jihe carefully fed him porridge, he drank half a bowl, but couldn't finish it, and didn't force him to finish it, so he came over with a teacup and asked him to rinse his mouth.

"Miao Miao." Seeing that he was busy taking care of himself, Yu Chirui just wanted to say a few good words when he saw the people he summoned had come to the door.The people outside wanted to say hello, but Yu Chirui made a gesture to tell them not to speak, so they didn't speak, and walked in gently.

Zhao Jihe went to the bed and sat down, "Huh? Why did you call me?"

"It's nothing."

Zhao Jihe lay on him and rubbed his stomach, "Is it better now?"

"Yeah. Xiaohe, get up."

Zhao Jihe didn't do it, "Why? I'm not on top of you. Why did you suddenly call me Xiaohe again?"

Yu Chirui pointed behind him.

Zhao Jihe looked back and squatted beside the bed covering his face in an instant.

"Ah! Why didn't you tell me! You're ashamed!"

There was a burst of laughter behind him.

After laughing, everyone came forward to care about Yu Chirui, and a person Zhao Jihe had never met actually helped Yu Chirui make the quilt.Then they all stood by the bed, and then Yu Chirui sat on the bed wearing only his unlined clothes, showing a coquettish attitude towards them.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Jihe was still in a daze, and they didn't listen to what they said.

"Xiaohe?" Yu Chirui called him again.

Zhao Jihe pointed to himself, "Call me?"

"if not?"

"Oh."

Yu Chirui looked at the ministers, and said, "I just found out about a very important matter about Duanguo. Xiaohe, tell me."

"Oh." Zhao Jihe stood up and sat back on Yu Chirui's bed again, and then said to everyone, "It's like this, I always thought you knew, so I didn't say it, and I just found out that you didn't know. Ling Xi Che, Ling Xiche, the Shangqing of our Ye Kingdom, is still alive, and has surrendered to Duan Kingdom."
