I ran away after being pregnant

As soon as these words came out, both of them were taken aback.

Chu Zhaoling, who seldom speaks out of his head, coughed dryly: "I mean..."

Shen Gu, who thought he didn't like the name of the palace, had an idea: "This is simple! Tomorrow I will have someone cut out the door plaque of Tonghua Palace, and put a name you like on it."

Chu Zhaoling was overwhelmed by Shen Gu's brain circuit: "No need. I don't live in the palace."

Shen Guxin said that this palace will be yours sooner or later, if you don't live now, you will live in it in the future.Moreover, Chu Zhaoling lived in the palace and took care of everything big and small, so he could completely let go and concentrate on opening a shop and becoming the boss.

"Drink the porridge quickly, it should be cold in a while." Shen Gu urged, determined to do so.

Chu Zhaoling lowered his head to drink the porridge, and his attitude was firm.

What does it look like to live in the harem, I can't live.

Just after finishing the porridge, Imperial Physician Zheng came to see Chu Zhaoling's injuries.While changing the dressing on the wound, Chu Zhaoling asked, "Doctor Zheng, can I get out of bed?"

Doctor Zheng understood: "Yes. As long as the wound is not affected, it is not good to lie down all the time."

"Where are you going?" Shen Gu immediately became nervous when he heard this, "Don't wander around if you have nothing to do."

Chu Zhaoling looked at him: "That female assassin."

Shen later realized: Yes.Taking care of nervous Chu Zhaoling, he forgot the culprit.

"Don't move around, I'll let someone bring her here."

After a stick of incense, Xiao Wu brought the female assassin to the bedroom.After seeing Shen Gu, the woman who had been silent all this time burst out with strong hatred in her eyes.

Frightened, Shen Gu hid behind Chu Zhaoling, muttering in a low voice, "I'm not in debt, really."

"..." Chu Zhaoling was helpless, "Do you think she looks like asking for a debt of love?"

"Fun Lord! You fish and meat people! Die badly!" The woman sat slumped on the ground, staring at Shen Gu with shattered eyes, wishing she could tear him apart and swallow him.

Shen Gu grabbed Chu Zhaoling's clothes tightly.

Xiao Wu: "I took Ruanjin powder for her, don't be afraid, Your Majesty."

Shen Gu felt relieved, sat down beside Chu Zhaoling in an orderly manner, and began to reflect on himself.He said solemnly: "I admit that I am indeed not a good emperor. But I don't think I am a fool. I just don't do anything."

At the end, he asked Chu Zhaoling, "You say yes."

He didn't do anything because he was not interested, and because he didn't need it.With Chu Zhaoling, he can govern the country very well.

The corner of Chu Zhaoling's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xiao Wu: "What did you ask?"

Xiao Wu shook his head: "I didn't dare to use too much torture, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive."

Chu Zhaoling was silent for a while, then turned his attention to Shen Gu: "Go and try."

Shen Gu had a look of disbelief.

"Fishing law enforcement." Chu Zhaoling learned and used it flexibly.

Since she came here for Shen Gu, it was perfect for Shen Gu to ask.

Shen Gu, who was ordered in danger, walked to a place one step away from the woman, put his hands on his hips, stared at the woman condescendingly, and asked loudly: "You said I was fainted, why did I faint? If you can't tell, I will chop off your head!"

Xiao Wu hastily lowered his head, pursed his lips and suppressed a smile.

The emperor tried his best to act like a foolish emperor, no one would say something cute after seeing it.

Behind him, Chu Zhaoling rested his forehead with one hand, not looking.

Seeing Shen Gu's sloppy attitude, the woman gritted her teeth and said, "You increased taxes and made the common people miserable, aren't you insane?!"

Shen Gu couldn't answer because he didn't know about it.

"The tax system has not changed for ten years." Chu Zhaoling said coldly.

"It hasn't changed?" The woman smiled sarcastically, "The taxes in the three southwest counties have increased by three times since the year before last, how dare you say that they haven't changed?! Some people went to the government to argue and were beaten to death! They went to Beijing to sue the imperial court. Not one of them came back!"

Shen Gu looked surprised, isn't Southwest Chu Zhaoling's fiefdom?

Chu Zhaoling was also surprised.

At the age of 20, Chu Zhaoling led the army to defeat the Huns and forced them to sign a contract that they would never attack.After Ban Shi returned to the imperial court, the late emperor granted Chu Zhaoling the title of King of Southwest on the pretext of exterminating the bandits in the Southwest, and sent him to the Southwest.

A group of incompetent bandits is not worthy of Chu Zhaoling's own hands.It was just an excuse for the late emperor to keep him away from Chao Gang because he was afraid of Chu Zhaoling's great achievements.

Chu Zhaoling readily accepted, took his cronies to the southwest, bought a house, and became an idle prince.

Three years later, the first emperor passed away, and Chu Zhaoling was ordered to assist the new emperor.The soldier talisman that he voluntarily handed back three years ago returned to him again.

If what the woman said is true, based on time, this incident happened not long after he left.

Chu Zhaoling thought for a moment: "Take her down and take care of her."

"I believe this matter has nothing to do with you." Shen Gu walked up to Chu Zhaoling with a serious face.

Although the ins and outs of the matter are not yet clear, but Shen Gu just believes it.

Chu Zhaoling smiled lightly: "I have checked the tax details reported to the household department by the three southwest counties, and there is no problem."

After living there for three years, Chu Zhaoling paid special attention to it.

Shen Gu's reaction was quick: "They are obedient and obedient!"

Naturally, the central government cannot let the central government know about raising taxes privately.But where did the extra money collected go?

The three counties in the southwest have raised taxes for two consecutive years, which is not a small amount.

Shen Gu thought of the plot at the end of the novel where Meng Xian rebelled against him.Recruiting troops requires money.It has been shattered to rely on the relocation of the capital to enrich one's own pockets, and it is bound to find other ways.

Could this be the way Meng Xian came up with?

If there is a relationship, it can disrupt Huang Mengxian's plan again.

Or just kill Meng Xian.

A simple and crude solution suddenly popped up in Shen Gu's mind.

No no no.

Meng Xian's current strength is unknown, so he hastily tried to kill him, and he will be the one who can't be killed.

Or tell Chu Zhaoling Meng Xian's true face.

Without evidence, would he believe it?

Shen Gu really couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he could only take one step at a time.

"I'll go out for a while." Chu Zhaoling stood up, ready to get dressed.

Shen Gu quickly regained consciousness and stopped: "No! The only thing you have to do now is to rest well. I know what you have to do, and I will deal with it. You have a good rest."

"How to deal with it?" Chu Zhaoling looked at him.

Shen Gu pondered for a moment: "Pretend not to know about this matter first, and send people secretly to the southwest to investigate to find out where the money is going and who is behind the scenes. The capital should also be investigated. There must be someone in the court who is involved in this matter, otherwise it will not be hidden." have to die like this."

After Shen Gu finished speaking, Chu Zhaoling asked him again: "Who will be sent to investigate?"

Shen was stuck.

The sudden departure of the ministers of the court and the central government will definitely arouse suspicion. This matter can only be investigated by trusted cronies, and Shen Gu has no cronies.He blinked and looked at Chu Zhaoling: "I don't know."

"Go to Xiao Wu, he will take you to meet the right person."

"..." Shen Gu hesitated for a while, "You should go. I haven't slept all night, and I want to sleep."

What Chu Zhaoling meant was to bring Shen Gu to meet the power he cultivated—at least a part of it.Shen Gu felt that knowing this matter would not do him any good, and it was best to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Have a good rest." Chu Zhaoling didn't know why he had thought so much, got dressed, and left the bedroom.

Shen Gu took off his shoes and lay down on the bed to sleep.

A carriage stopped at the back door of the largest gambling house in the capital.

Xiao Wu went to knock on the door, first three times, then two times, and then four times.Behind him, Chu Zhaoling in black slowly got off the carriage.

The person who opened the door politely invited the two inside.He led them to a room and opened the door: "You two go in first and wait a moment, I'll call our boss right away."

Little do they know that the real boss is right in front of them.

He only knew that anyone who tapped the code should be treated with respect, but he didn't know Chu Zhaoling's real identity.

Not long after, a luxuriously dressed woman walked in, turned around and said, "My lord."

The woman's name was Luo Yue, and she was Chu Zhaoling's lieutenant before, and then followed Chu Zhaoling to the southwest.After returning to the capital again, Chu Zhaoling wanted to find a marriage for her, but she rejected him repeatedly.

Chu Zhaoling entrusted this gambling house to her to take care of it, so that she would not be idle.

Luo Yue has a bold and generous personality, and her abilities in all aspects are not inferior to men.From the results point of view, this decision is not bad.

Before Chu Zhaoling could speak, Luo Yue couldn't hold back: "What's the matter with the prince? Just tell me if you have something to do! I've been in the capital all day, and my hands are so busy growing grass."

"Do you want to go back to the southwest?" Chu Zhaoling asked.

Luo Yue's eyes lit up, and she immediately realized: "What happened to Southwest?"

Chu Zhaoling explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.After hearing this, Luo Yue frowned: "There is such a thing! I'm going to the southwest right now, and I will definitely find out!"

During those three years in the Southwest, he didn't need to be on his guard, and he wasn't as restrained as he was in the capital, so he lived a free and easy life.In Luo Yue's heart, the Southwest is her second hometown, where all the good memories are.

Come out of the casino.

Xiao Wu asked: "My lord, are you going back home?"

Chu Zhaoling got into the carriage: "Go back to the palace."

Xiao Wu: I am not surprised.

Shen Gu, who has always been a good sleeper, couldn't fall asleep this time, lying on the bed tossing and turning.After finally falling asleep, he was frightened awake by the nightmare again, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He dreamed that Chu Zhaoling died trying to save him, his body was covered in blood, and his eyes were wide open.

Shen Gu didn't dare to sleep anymore, and didn't want to eat, so he nestled in the corner of the bed, waiting for Chu Zhaoling to come back.Unexpectedly, it took a long time to wait.It was getting dark, so Chu Zhaoling came late.

Staring at the people who walked in, Shen Gu asked a little angrily: "Where have you been? Did it take so long to deal with the matter? You didn't come back to see me."

Chu Zhaoling returned to the palace at noon and has been in the imperial study.If it wasn't for Xiao Wu's reminder, he would have to stay for a while.

For some reason, Chu Zhaoling was clearly doing business, but looking at the pitiful and aggrieved eyes of the other party, he felt a little guilty: "I thought you were sleeping."

"I dare not sleep, I will have nightmares when I sleep."

Knowing that he was frightened by the assassination last night, Chu Zhaoling went to the bed and sat down, his voice softened unconsciously: "Don't be afraid, it's all over."

Shen Gu got up on his knees, moved his knees from the corner of the bed to Chu Zhaoling's side, lay on his back on Chu Zhaoling's lap like a kitten turning its belly, and looked at him without blinking: "You are not allowed to go, you must stay with me." .”

Chu Zhaoling was the first person Shen Gu had been in close contact with since he came to this world. He saved him last night, and Shen Gu relied on him instinctively.

Chu Zhaoling let him rest on his leg, and said "um", "Don't go, go to sleep."

Shen Gu closed his eyes at ease, drowsiness hit him, and soon fell asleep.

Chu Zhaoling looked down at Shen Gu who was sleeping soundly, and thought: How could there be such a clingy person.
