When he thought of this possibility, Yan Qingzhou's eyes contained a violent aura that wanted to destroy the world.

Looking at the woman in front of him who looked particularly fragile after recovering from a serious illness, Yan Qingzhou clenched his fingers tightly to prevent his emotions from showing off and frightening Shen Ke.

But the darkness in his heart couldn't help but deepen, and many extreme thoughts appeared in his mind. For example, if Chu Xun wanted to use force to take away Shen Ke... then he...

Might as well replace him.

If the emperor wanted to take away the woman he loved, he would take his place.

In this world, nothing can stop him from being with Shen Ke.

Yan Qingzhou's thoughts were confused. Although his eyes were fixed on Shen Ke, there were many things on his mind.

At this moment, Shen Ke's eyes showed a hint of fear, and his voice seemed a little soft:

"I don't want to go back."

Her voice was very quiet. If Yan Qingzhou hadn't focused his attention on her, he might not have been able to hear her.

But after hearing these words, Yan Qingzhou was stunned.

He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ke in disbelief. The light inside suddenly lit up, appearing a little bright and dim under the dim light:

"You don't want to go back?"

Why don't you want to go back?

Are you afraid of the Queen Mother and Chu Ling'er's troubles?

Or... I have no feelings for Chu Xun anymore.

Yan Qingzhou never realized how longing his eyes looked at this moment. Looking at Shen Ke with such eyes, he originally wanted to act like a monster, but after thinking about it, he gave up and agreed:

"Um."

This "hmm" made Yan Qingzhou's eyes light up completely. His Adam's apple rolled up and down for a moment, and he was almost unable to pronounce:

"Why don't you want to go back?"

He had obviously told himself not to ask for the answer before, but at this point, Yan Qingzhou could no longer control his subconscious questioning.

This answer made him fear and expect in his heart. He was like a sick person, both afraid of the result and crazy about wanting to know the result.

God knows, this idea that has been running through his head countless times has brought him into reverie countless times when he was dealing with official business.

Shen Ke raised his face and glanced at him.

The candlelight flashed onto Shen Ke's face for a moment, making her face look like a bright pearl, which made people look crazy.

There was a flash of hesitation on that face that could drive any man crazy, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

At this moment--

"Sir, it's almost time to go to court."

Suddenly, Wei Chen's low-pitched prompt came from outside.

Wei Chen didn't know that Shen Ke had woken up, but what happened last night was not a trivial matter. According to the informant's information, the Queen Mother had indeed returned to the palace with the princess overnight.

It is still unclear whether he will meet the emperor, but today's morning meeting is crucial.

If I don't go today and the Queen Mother confuses right and wrong, and the Emperor cannot ask, I'm afraid...

Therefore, Wei Chen came outside on time to report, fearing that he would be late.

What Shen Ke was about to say suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhou closed his eyes and suppressed the anger that suddenly gathered in his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again after a while, his eyes returned to calmness.

Of course, Yan Qingzhou also knew that he could not miss today's morning meeting.

At this moment, he stood up and walked to the door, looking back as if he was worried.

Shen Ke was still sitting on the bed very obediently, and the stacked quilts made her figure even more petite.

She looked at him so submissively and gently, which was very different from the usual arrogant look.

Yan Qingzhou's originally cold and gloomy heart suddenly softened, and he said in a low voice:

"wait me back."

When he comes back, ask everything clearly and explain everything clearly.

Take everything...in your own hands.

Yan Qingzhou nodded obediently when he saw Shen Ke.

His lips curved, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he said nothing and turned around to leave.

[Keke! What did you want to say just now? Why didn’t you say it? 】

Jiujiu suddenly appeared at this time, and I couldn't understand it.

If Shen Ke really wanted to say something, he would have said it long ago. In the previous world, when the situation was extremely urgent, Shen Ke could say three sentences in one sentence.

Why was it that in such a charming atmosphere just now, what I wanted to say was only interrupted and stopped?

[What do you know about this system?] Shen Ke showed an incomprehensible look and did not explain further.

Some words require excessive white space to be interesting, and now is not the best time.

Her emotions were sensed by Jiu Jiu, who was puzzled.

【When is the best time?】

Shen Ke smiled and said nothing, pulled up the quilt and lay down again, and the inner room returned to unchanging silence.

*

Today's morning is destined to be unusual.

The British Duke first came out of the procession holding a wat board. After respectfully saluting Chu Xun, he spoke sharply and pointedly at Yan Qingzhou.

He was extremely indignant in his words, saying that his son went to visit Yan Qingzhou yesterday to ask for advice. He somehow offended the chief minister and actually knocked his son unconscious and left him at the door.

If the servants at home had not waited for the prince for a long time and did not go back to look for him, he would have been out in the cold all night.

At the end of the sentence, the gray-haired British gentleman was already in tears:

"Your Majesty, serving the country does not mean that I have dedicated myself to the country, but it can be regarded as hard work. The dog is the son of the old minister. This time I have suffered such a serious crime, and I am really distressed! The chief minister is really bullying me. I hope that your majesty will do it for me. Make the decision!"

The British Duke knelt down as he spoke. These words were sincere and truly moved people's hearts.

Many of the courtiers who were standing in the queue holding wat tablets were looking calmly at the protagonist of this matter, Yan Qingzhou, wanting to see what his reaction was.

Unexpectedly, facing the British Duke's accusation, Yan Qingzhou stood there with a tall and tall figure, as pleasing to the eye as a pine and cypress, and was not moved at all.

It is as if the person recognized by the British government is not himself.

Seeing this, all the ministers started talking about it, and the hall instantly became noisy.

Chu Xun was sitting on the dragon chair. The beaded curtain on the emperor's crown made his expression unpredictable. No one could see into the emperor's psychology at this moment.

"Yan Aiqing, what do you say about this matter?"

After a long while, the emperor's somewhat profound voice sounded in the empty hall.

The eyes under the Dongzhu curtain were looking closely at the man standing at the head of the crowd, with the appearance of a dragon, and Chu Xun felt very complicated in his heart.

Yesterday, the queen mother took Chu Ling'er back to the palace in the middle of the night. The palace door was locked at that time, and this incident directly alarmed him.

But it was nowhere near as shocking as the news his mother told him.

If it weren't for the fact that it was already getting late, he would have had to leave the palace to see people in person.

In the end, the emperor's reason dissuaded him from his impulse.

That's why there was this morning scene.
