Yan Qingzhou took Shen Ke back to the mansion and ordered his subordinates to block the news.

If the news were not blocked, the news that the cold-hearted Chief Assistant would return home tomorrow carrying a strange woman would spread like wildfire.

Walk through the nine-curved corridor and walk past the pavilions and waterside pavilions.

Yan Qingzhou walked into a guest room and placed the woman in his arms on the couch.

The mask on Shen Ke's face was still well worn and did not slip off due to the bumps along the way.

However, due to the friction, the skin at the edges of the mask was slightly red, which was particularly dazzling on the crystal clear skin.

Yan Qingzhou's eyes darkened slightly.

"My dear concubine, you are already at home now."

Yan Qingzhou's tone was calm, as if he was talking to the air.

In fact, he already knew on the carriage back home that Shen Ke did not faint, but was just faking it.

Shen Ke's eyelashes trembled slightly.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she opened a pair of soul-stirring eyes: "Sir, the First Assistant really understands everything."

The woman's voice was delicate and soft, as if she was whispering coquettishly in her ear.

Yan Qingzhou was noncommittal and looked at her with deep meaning.

Why was she assassinated by the Queen Mother's men today?

And...what's the reason for her similar appearance to his master's wife?

What was the reason why she was assassinated today...

Is it because she is the master's daughter?

"What happened today..." Yan Qingzhou couldn't finish his words.

"It's just blocking the Queen Mother's way." Shen Ke took off his mask, with a bright smile on his face, "Can I stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

As we got closer, we no longer had to avoid the emperor, and when we looked directly at him, the face that resembled the master's wife became more and more profound.

If it was the master's daughter, he wouldn't be able to just sit idly by and ignore this matter.

Even keeping a royal concubine is an extremely dangerous thing.

Yan Qingzhou turned around and left the guest room without saying a word.

But not long after, several maids came to Shen Ke's room, their expressions were submissive, and their mouths seemed to be very strict.

A hint of understanding flashed in Shen Ke's eyes.

It worked.

*

At this time, inside Cining Palace.

"What did you say?"

The Queen Mother's expression changed greatly as she looked at her confidant Nanny below. Her usually indifferent face was completely different from usual at this moment:

"You were not chased at all, and you were rescued by a mysterious man?"

Yesterday, she learned that Shen Ke was going out to attend the Lantern Festival in the evening, so she had the idea of ​​getting rid of Shen Ke.

For some reason, she felt that Shen Ke was a very troublesome person, so she took out the assassination order hidden in the box to capture Shen Ke.

Shen Ke is just a weak woman, and the secret guards assigned to her by Chu Xun are not among the best.

As long as nothing happens, Shen Ke can completely disappear from this world.

Who knew that something unexpected would happen.

Shen Ke actually shed her golden cicada shell in front of so many people with strong martial arts skills!

It’s hard to imagine who that man is!

"Didn't you see clearly who that man was?" the Queen Mother asked again, with a deep furrow between her brows:

"Bao Buqi is Shen Ke's mistress. She is a very unruly woman at first sight!"

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth when she thought of this and looked very ugly.

On the one hand, Shen Ke feels uncomfortable because he didn’t kill him, and on the other hand, Shen Ke might have cuckolded his own prince!

"I don't know." The confidant's face was also very ugly: "According to the people below, the night was very dark at that time, and I couldn't see the face of the man clearly. I only knew that his clothes were noble and he must have a good status."

Good status?

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and looked even more ugly.

What a great Shen Ke!

But it wasn't enough for a lowly girl to hook up with her own prince, she actually had many concubines.

"Mother! My daughter heard that Shen Ke is missing!"

At this moment, Chu Ling'er rushed in with excitement on her face:

"Has it already..."

She didn't say the rest, but made a gesture of wiping her neck.

The Queen Mother was in trouble again and again. Before this matter could be sorted out, Chu Ling'er came in again.

She rubbed her forehead with a headache: "Where did you hear the news?"

She thought it was some loose-tongued servant who said it.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ling'er said carelessly: "It has been spread throughout the palace now. They all say that Concubine Yao went out of the palace to participate in the Lantern Festival and disappeared without a trace. She is not sure whether she is alive or dead."

At the end of the sentence, her face was filled with a little joy, and she was obviously still holding a grudge.

"What?" The Queen Mother did not expect that everyone in the palace knew about this matter, and her expression was very scary: "Who spread this matter!"

When Chu Ling'er became sensible, her brother Chu Xun had already ascended the throne as emperor, and her mother had become the queen mother. She had never seen the dirty things in the harem.

So facing her mother's ferocious expression, she felt a little at a loss for a moment.

"I don't know, but I heard that the emperor has sent people out to investigate."

Her voice was a little timid: "Mother, why are you acting like this..."

After all, he was not a fool. Chu Ling'er understood after thinking about it for a moment. She covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Could it be you..."

Before she could say the rest of the words, she was interrupted unbearably by the Queen Mother: "Shut up."

The Queen Mother was very flustered.

How much Chu Xun likes that foxy Shen Ke, can a mother like her still not understand?

Regardless of her status as a commoner girl, she made her a noble concubine against all the opinions. She also thought she was not noble enough and gave her the title "Yao".

You know, sometimes the title is more important than the position.

It can be said that if Shen Ke's family background is enough, becoming a queen is not a big problem.

Normally, she was polite to Shen Ke. Although Huang Er didn't feel that way in his heart, he didn't say much.

If he found out that he wanted to assassinate Shen Ke... the Queen Mother could not imagine what the relationship between the two would become.

Can mother and son still be as affectionate and loving as they are now?

The Queen Mother hardly dared to think about it.

She just looked at her confidant Nanny in a panic, and said in a very stern tone: "Hurry!"

"Hurry up and send someone to the alley to see if there is anything missing. If there is anything, deal with it as soon as possible. Don't let anyone else discover it."

"Especially the emperor's people, you know?"

The confidant Nanny also understood how big the problems involved in this matter were. She agreed with a serious expression, turned around and took the order to do the work.

Chu Ling'er didn't dare to show her anger throughout the whole process.

Facing her mother with full aura, she realized that her mother was not only kind and kind.

Such a mother made her feel strange and intimidated.

Facts have proved that the Queen Mother's decision was very wise.

But others are not fools either.

Chu Xun's men also moved very quickly, even before the Queen Mother.

When he learned that Shen Ke was missing, Chu Xun almost went crazy. He sent all his informants and forces to search for Shen Ke's whereabouts.

The emperor's power was obviously not formidable. When he was trying his best to find a person, the clues were placed on his imperial case by Jiang De'an that afternoon.

Looking at the things in front of him, Chu Xun looked gloomy and did not move for a long time.
