After binding the tens of billions of material systems, he became rich in ancient times

Chapter 186 After the dust settles

The queen worships the Buddha all the year round, and hardly cares about the affairs of the palace.Concubine Heng took over most of the affairs in the palace before, but now that Concubine Heng is down, the harem will be in turmoil for a while.

Bai Susu and Zhou Ximing were accompanied by each other, and before they left the palace, they saw palace people hurriedly approaching behind them, tearing off all the white silk around them.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.What happened in Concubine Heng's Palace just now has been known by most of the people in the palace, and now that these white silks are torn off, the real identity of the third prince has already begun to be suspected.

But no matter what happens later, it has little to do with the two of them.Bai Susu pulled Zhou Ximing's followers, walked out of the palace gate without looking sideways, got into the carriage, and headed back home.

When we came, it was still daytime, but when we got back, it was already dark.Lao Zhou had already put the two children to sleep and practiced sword alone in the yard.

Even though Lao Zhou didn't go to the palace, he knew a lot just from what A Ying said.Seeing the two of them approaching, Lao Zhou put away the long sword in his hand and put it aside.

"Is your father okay now?" Lao Zhou sat on the stool, poured himself a cup of hot tea calmly, and sipped it slowly.

"I fainted out of anger, and there is no other news from the palace." Zhou Ximing also sat beside Lao Zhou, lowered his eyes, with a calm expression, "Being betrayed by the two people I trusted the most, no wonder he fainted."

Bai Susu also sat beside Zhou Ximing, and added, "The emperor is so angry now that he moved the third prince's funeral outside the palace."

The prince who originally had a mansion passed away, so the funeral should be held in the palace.It's just that the emperor took pity on the third prince, so he specially ordered the funeral to be held in the palace. Now the emperor probably regrets his decision very much.

"In the end, it's the emperor's own fault, and he can't blame others." Lao Zhou sighed and commented on his son.He took out a copper token from his cuff and placed it in front of Zhou Ximing, "This is for you."

When Zhou Ximing saw clearly what was on the table, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Lao Zhou in shock, "Is this... secret order from the secret guard?"

When the ancestors of the Zhou family established this dynasty, in order to have absolute right to speak in their hands, they secretly set up a secret guard to help him secretly.

Later, this dark guard was passed down from generation to generation, and the crown prince and emperor came out. No one knew the existence of these dark guards.He didn't expect that Lao Zhou would take this out today.

"Yes." Lao Zhou looked at the secret order on the table and smiled, "When I left, I sensed the emperor's wolfish ambitions, so I deliberately took the secret order away and did not hand it into his hands."

Almost everything the emperor did at that time was done under the watchful eyes of the hidden guards.It's not that the emperor who was still the prince didn't have the idea of ​​killing his father.

It's just that when he had this idea, he was called into the palace by Lao Zhou and scolded him.But one year, Lao Zhou didn't want his father and son to go to that point, and passed the position to him, but took away the secret order.

This secret order is not only used to restrain the current emperor, but also to prevent the emperor from sending someone to kill him secretly.

When Lao Zhou thought that he had to be on guard against his own son, he felt a sense of irony, and became more and more disdainful towards the emperor.

"Then why do you want to give this to me today?" Zhou Ximing looked at Lao Zhou without touching the secret order on the table.The weight of this is too heavy, and it's no wonder Zhou Ximing is so cautious.

"I'm old and the emperor is sick. You will be a well-deserved emperor in the future. I just gave you an extra thing to protect yourself."

Zhou Ximing knew the emperor, and Lao Zhou also knew the emperor.

He was able to take the life of his biological father for that position, so he dared to take the life of Zhou Ximing, even if there was no successor to the throne.

Both Lao Zhou and Zhou Ximing thought of this tacitly, but no one pointed it out.Zhou Ximing looked down at the secret order on the table, and reached out to take it.

He stood up and bowed solemnly to Lao Zhou, "Thank you, the Supreme Emperor."

"This is something I should have handed over early." Lao Zhou stood up, picked up the long sword beside him, played it casually in the air, and started to chase people away, "It's getting late, I'll Going to rest."

When Lao Zhou's figure disappeared into the night, Zhou Ximing carefully put away the secret order, took Bai Susu's hand, and left from here.

Now that the moon has climbed to the moon, the cold moonlight shining down on the stone road made the path they walked clearer.

After a busy day today, Bai Susu collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.When he woke up again, it was already bright outside.

Because the emperor fainted yesterday and has not woken up, Zhou Ximing will handle the morning court today.After leaving the palace, he hurried to the study to deal with the accumulated official duties.

Bai Susu didn't bother him either, she changed into plain white clothes, left the mansion, and went to the restaurant in Beishi.

It was still early, and all the restaurants had just opened, and no one came to eat.As soon as Bai Susu entered the restaurant, she saw that the people inside were busy cleaning the house.

Xiao Han saw Bai Susu coming, raised a smiling face, and walked in front of her, "Now that there are so many things happening in the palace, I thought you wouldn't come here."

"The things in the palace will naturally be handled by people in the palace, and I can't be used." Bai Susu looked around, "Is the business okay?"

"Naturally, with your recipe, there are almost no seats left." Xiao Han stood in front of the wine rack in a good mood, picked out a good bottle of wine, and also chose two beautiful glasses.

She poured two glasses of wine, and handed one of them to Bai Susu, with a smile on her face, "This is a good wine I bought from Jiangnan, do you want to have a taste?"

"I don't drink well." Thinking of her gaffe after drinking, Bai Susu resolutely pushed the wine glass in front of Xiao Han, and didn't take the glass of wine.

Xiao Han didn't say anything, drank half a jug of wine by himself, looked at Bai Susu happily, and said with joy in his voice, "Susu, the third prince has finally been brought to justice."

Bai Susu looked at Xiao Han's uncontrollably red eye sockets, touched the corners of her eyes lightly, felt moist, and she cried.

As if realizing that his tears were about to be unstoppable, Xiao Han raised his head and took a sip of wine directly at the bottle, trying to make the tears in his eyes go away.

But in the end, those two lines of tears still fell.Bai Susu looked at Xiao Han worriedly, but couldn't say anything else.

Although the perpetrator has been brought to justice, the harm done to the victim is irreparable.It's like a perfect mirror shattered and glued back together.Even though it looks like this on the outside, the cracks on it will never disappear.
