I'm his wife, how come I don't know?

On the bustling streets of the capital, Jiang Chu carried Zhao Jinzhou on his back and finally met at the agreed location.

Sheng Yichen's face was filled with irrepressible excitement, and his eyes were like a scanner, carefully looking Jiang Chu up and down.

"Okay, okay, it's intact. My life is saved." Sheng Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

Then, Sheng Yichen turned his gaze to Zhao Jinzhou.

He strode forward, carefully took Zhao Jinzhou from Jiang Chu's back, and gently carried him on his shoulders.

"Okay, let's go back to the palace and have a good rest. Tomorrow, I want to see with my own eyes how the Dali Temple will make the ruling."

Jiang Chu followed Sheng Yichen silently, and the two of them came in front of Li Xiu.

Li Xiu's eyes were deep, and he cast a grateful glance at Jiang Chu: "Thank you for protecting me for a long time in the underground palace."

Jiang Chu just shook his head slightly, with a faint smile on his face: "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

Sheng Yichen squeezed in between them and said, "Well, we've been through life and death together, so we're brothers! What's the point of thanking each other so much?"

Jiang Chu smiled, with a gentle smile between his eyebrows.

Li Xiu glanced at Jiang Chu, and all the bad memories in his mind completely disappeared.

He took out his jade slip and handed it to Jiang Chu: "If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me directly."

Jiang Chu took it with surprise, and the two of them touched the jade slips lightly, completing the connection.

[Wang Ba: Congratulations to the host for gaining the favorability of the world protagonist for the first time, life span +100]

Sheng Yichen leaned close to Jiang Chu's ear and whispered, "Be a good man, thank you!"

Jiang Chu twitched his lips, looked at Sheng Yichen, and then looked at Li Xiu.

He was really wronged.

Well, it's all Jiang Chu's fault. Don't blame him.

Four people plus a hidden little black snake came to the gate of Xuanxian Palace together.

The front foot hasn't even stepped in.

The magnificent red door inlaid with gilded door nails opened with a loud bang.

A group of palace maids and guards lined up neatly on both sides. A middle-aged woman with a phoenix crown on her head and a dignified temperament walked out slowly. Her eyes were sharp, as if she could see through everything.

Sheng Yichen raised his head, looked at the person, and instantly wilted.

"Mother... Queen Mother." Sheng Yichen blinked at the woman.

Jiang Chu and Li Xiu stood still in an instant and bowed hastily: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty be in good health."

"No need to be so polite." The queen looked majestic and waved her hand.

"Come here, take the three distinguished guests back to the mansion to bathe and change clothes, and then entertain them well. Xiaojiu, please follow me." The queen's voice was filled with an unquestionable command.

Four palace maids and two guards immediately took action, and the palace maids led Jiang Chu and Li Xiu to the backyard.

Following behind Jiang Chu and Li Xiu: "My two nobles, please follow us."

There were also two other guards who carried Zhao Jinzhou from Sheng Yichen's shoulders in their arms and followed the pace of Jiang Chu and Li Xiu.

Jiang Chu felt an invisible pressure. He looked at Li Xiu from time to time, but found that Li Xiu was calm and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.

Jiang Chu also took a few deep breaths to make himself look more natural.

There are two natural springs in the backyard of the palace.

Jiang Chu was taken to the spring on the left.

One maid was sprinkling flower petals into the water, while another maid was holding new clothes, shoes and socks.

Jiang Chu didn't like being peeped at, so he used a trick the moment he jumped into the water.

With a swish, the little black snake slipped from his arms into the spring water, swimming happily around Jiang Chu.

Jiang Chu quickly washed himself while stretching out his slender fingers to play with the little black snake.

The little black snake head rubbed Jiang Chu's fingertips lightly, looking very excited and happy.

In the front hall, the queen sat in the main seat and a head maid served her tea.

The queen took the tea, but her eyes never left Sheng Yichen.

Sheng Yichen felt inexplicably guilty. He secretly glanced at the person on the main seat, then put on a smile and said in a relaxed tone: "Mother, long time no see, I miss you so much~"

The queen's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and her voice was trembling, as if she was suppressing her inner anger: "Really? Is that so? You miss mother so much that you cause trouble for me as soon as you come back?"

Sheng Yichen's head tilted slightly to one side, his eyes revealing confusion.

He looked at the gorgeously dressed and dignified woman on the main seat, and asked with a puzzled tone: "What does this mean, mother?"

"Sheng Yizhou, although you are not my biological son, I have raised you by my side since childhood. As soon as you came back, you turned the court upside down and charged you with the crime of fratricide. What does your father think of you? What does the world think of you?" The queen's eyes were filled with suppressed anger.

Sheng Yichen didn't think he was wrong, and the smile disappeared from his eyes.

"Mother, do you know what evil deeds Third Brother has done?!"

"He attached himself to the demon clan and killed countless people. How many innocent people died in his hands? Moreover, the so-called immortals and the so-called treasure land were hiding a Sui emperor who planned to defy the will of heaven and achieve immortality!"

"If the Sui Emperor succeeds, the thunderstorm that stretches for hundreds of miles will be enough to turn the entire Kyoto into ashes!"

"If it doesn't work, it will turn into a drought demon. There will be a severe drought in Kyoto, and not a single blade of grass will grow!"

"I didn't kill him outright, but kept him alive. I've done my best!"

Sheng Yichen's voice was rising with indignation, and he became more and more anxious as he spoke.

Looking at the child with such righteousness and clear eyes, the anger in the queen's eyes disappeared by half.

Then he sighed lightly and sent the servants away.

Leaving them alone together.

Without servants, the queen also put down her airs.

She walked forward slowly, took Sheng Yichen's hand, looked around, and whispered in his ear: "What if your father knew all this?"

Sheng Yichen, who was originally still angry, was like a nail, nailed to the spot.

He looked at his mother in disbelief: "Is my father crazy?"

The queen sighed softly, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

"Xiao Jiu has an excellent bone structure, which is different from that of ordinary people. He can cultivate the way of immortality and live for hundreds or even thousands of years. How could he understand ordinary people's fear of death?"

"He is also a person with supreme power. His desire for immortality is greater than that of any mortal."

Sheng Yichen lowered his head. He had clearly given his father and mother the ordinary-grade elixir.

That is the only elixir of cultivation available to mortals.

You may die peacefully without illness or pain in this life.

Sheng Yichen raised his head and looked at his mother.

"Then you know, mother, that to go against the will of heaven, there is only one person who can succeed in it among millions of people since ancient times."

"The outcome of failure is not just total destruction."

The queen closed her eyes and said, "I have tried countless ways to persuade him, but your father has gone crazy."

Sheng Yichen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered what his master had said.

It is too difficult for mortals to overcome life and death.

No mortal in a high position can face life and death with dignity.

The bright yellow figure who always smiled at him appeared in Sheng Yichen's mind.

It's really hard to connect the word "crazy" to what the Queen Mother said.
