Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy

There are too many variables in recent days and too much news today.

Cai Chong thought Shen Yangui was playing tricks again and was very nervous.

Chen Qi also seemed to be infected and became extremely nervous. His knee accidentally hit the desk, causing the brush on the pen holder to shake. He put one hand on the table and touched his knee with the other.

Fortunately, she was covering her face with a veil, so no one could see her grinning.

Mei Yong heard the noise and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, General Chen. The Prime Minister is here for you."

"Yes, I'm not nervous. Who said I was nervous?"

Chen Qixin took a book from the table, turned a page, and said covertly: "Move a chair for this general."

Mei Yong saw that he was holding the book upside down, so he turned around and moved a chair.

Chen Qi took a quick glance, reached out his hand and touched the sandalwood carved box. With a click, he heard the sound of a chair leaving the ground and quickly retracted his hand.

"General, please take a seat."

"Ah."

Chen Qi put the book back to its place and sat there quietly. He stood up only when he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

"What's going on? Could it be that the woman found out that I was here and wanted to..."

Cai Chongxi smiled happily: "General Chen, the good day I have been waiting for has arrived!"

"What the Prime Minister means is..."

"There are people coming from the palace. We will return to court tomorrow."

"Oh~" Chen Qi nodded, as if he had figured it out, but also as if he hadn't, "So what?"

"The princess asked you to bring 20,000 troops into the capital overnight because she was worried that someone would incite the imperial guards to oppose her tomorrow and wanted the garrison to support her. So you should follow her request tonight, lead your men into the city, and surround the palace with the golden order."

Cai Chong quickly told his plan, and then said: "There is another matter tonight that requires General Chen to do it personally."

Chen Qi made no secret of his admiration for Cai Chong. He clasped his hands together and said, "Please Prime Minister Cai, I will not refuse even if I die."

"Eh? What's this about death? It's unlucky."

Cai Chong placed his hand on his fist. "The general will enter the capital tonight and surround the imperial city. He will have to go to the palace to report to the princess. When the time comes..."

Chen Qi used his hand as a knife and gestured downwards, "I will kill her directly when the time comes."

"You can't kill her!"

"Just a woman."

"General Chen, be careful with your words. This woman is not an ordinary woman. Don't underestimate the enemy."

Cai Chong has suffered enough. "The two accidents at Luoxia Mountain were not accidents, especially the landslide last night, which was caused by black gunpowder. My people just came back from there."

As he spoke, Cai Chong pulled out a bag of wet soil from Luoxia Mountain from his sleeve, which was indeed mixed with black gunpowder.

"Yesterday evening, Meiyuan sent people to Luoxia Mountain to deliver wine and food. Afterwards, all the young masters and servants were caught and carried into the deep pit by the imperial guards."

"What the Prime Minister meant was that the princess tampered with the food and drinks, and that it was the princess who killed those young masters?" Chen Qi didn't understand, "But why?"

"To cover up the fact that he had murdered an official of the imperial court! To end the problem once and for all and prevent future troubles!"

"Lord Wu, Lord Han, were they both killed by that woman's men?"

"Now it seems that there is no mistake." Cai Chong shook his head slightly, "There are experts around the princess."

Chen Qi seemed to be still immersed in the previous question. "When I came here, I heard that none of the servants of those young masters were left yesterday. How did the Prime Minister know about the drugging?"

"If you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself."

Yesterday afternoon, a servant had to go to the woods to relieve himself in a hurry. Fortunately, God was merciful and let him escape the disaster.

Now this person has been escorted to his own yard by Cai Chong's confidants.

Cai Chong would naturally not easily reveal such a crucial witness. He would expose Shen Yangui's true identity in front of all the officials in the Golden Palace tomorrow.

Cai Chong snorted and laughed twice, but did not explain clearly, "I was indeed too proud before, and did not take Shen Yangui, a woman, seriously. Please go to Qingyi Palace tonight."

"Qingyi Palace? Hiss——" Chen Qi was not familiar with the palace, "What are you going there for?"

"Your Majesty is welcome to heaven!"

Although covered by a cloak and a veil, Cai Chong could still sense Chen Qi's hesitation.

After all, no matter how bad the young emperor's bloodline is or how useless he is, he is still the emperor of the day, the ruler, his subjects, the father and his son. It is normal for Chen Qi to be a little unsure.

Cai Chong tempted him with benefits, "With General Chen's ability, he should have been the marshal of the five armies long ago. The position of general of the capital garrison army is really unfair to the general. I can promise. After the matter is accomplished, I can make the decision and make the general the grand marshal of the five armies, and he can dispatch the troops of the entire Daxia."

Compared to gold, silver and women, this is the dream of a military commander.

Chen Qi took two steps and said, "It's not that I'm timid, it's just that I'm in trouble."

"General, it doesn't matter."

"It's true that I have to go to the palace to report, but those two red-armored soldiers followed me everywhere. I came out now and lied that I was going to sleep and prepare for the night."

Chen Qi stopped and sighed, "The Prime Minister just said that the woman has a master by her side. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful... I'll reveal my true identity and ruin everything."

If you make a mistake at this time, it would be more trouble than gain.

Cai Chong nodded, "General Chen's words make sense."

"so!"

Chen Qi suddenly clenched his fist and clasped his knuckles on the table. He thought of an idea.

"I have already followed the Prime Minister and will lead the troops into the city tonight. Life and death will depend on tomorrow. I will directly replace the guards of the four main palace gates with my own people. If the Prime Minister has any smart people under his command, I can order them to go in directly without anyone noticing."

Cai Chong thought it was feasible.

Because Chen Qi came out under the pretext of sleeping, he did not dare to stay long. After the two agreed on a secret code and time, he quickly left through the side door of Cai's mansion.

Over at Luoxia Mountain, a temporary shed was built to shelter from the rain and sun, and the ladies have not left yet.

After Cheng Yijin finished her work, she came over and bowed to comfort them. The ladies had finally wiped away their tears, but they cried again after being persuaded by her.

"You said it was fine, why did you come here?"

"He said he was coming to the banquet. My Hong'er knew about it, but he also..."

Everyone was crying and wiping their tears, saying they didn't know. One lady seemed to know a little more. She hesitated and said:

"I heard that Luoxia Mountain is also a plum garden, but I don't know if it is." She wanted to say princess, but was afraid of offending her, "Is it the eldest princess..."

"Your Highness, the Princess? The prince is unconscious and the princess is seriously injured. How can Your Highness, the Princess, have the time to come out? Hiss... Speaking of the prince being unconscious and the princess being seriously injured..."

Cheng Yijin took a deep breath as if she had a toothache, which aroused people's interest, but she didn't continue.

The ladies looked at each other, "What's wrong?"

"But what problems did you find?"

"I..." Cheng Yijin hesitated, "I just think it's too coincidental."

"I heard that the prince had always been in good health, but he suddenly lost consciousness. The princess was a martial arts expert who defeated Princess Danzhu, but she was assassinated in Yangju Palace. Her injuries haven't healed yet, and the ministers... ah, tsk!"

Cheng Yijin frowned and shook his head repeatedly.

She had an expression that said "I can't say much", which gave the ladies plenty of room for their imagination.

"Could it be that someone is targeting them intentionally?" a lady asked.
