After arguing with the little guy for a while, the baby was taken away by the nanny before eating.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou also had dinner in peace.

After dinner, the shadow guard sent a message from Zhou Huan, saying that Zhou Yuer had found it from her hometown, and now somehow got in touch with Zhou Huan, but the shadow guard did not let her The two meet.

"Zhou Yuer?" Shi Qingzhou was surprised.

"En." Long Xiaoyuan nodded. "Well, we really forgot about this woman."

"When she was in Tianyin Castle, she almost locked herself in her room all the time... and the Zhou family's affairs have nothing to do with her, so it's normal to forget about it."

Zhou Yuer's father is Zhou Hengliang's cousin, and Zhou Yuer is also Zhou Huan's niece.

Because she was not found about Fang Qiuhua's affairs in Tianyin Castle, she did nothing.

However, what is this woman doing here now

Long Xiaoyuan pondered for a while, and said: "Since she wants to come to Zhou Huan, let's see what she wants to do."

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "But no matter what she wants to do... Zhou Huan has to send someone to follow her closely."

"Well, I think so too." Long Xiaoyuan summoned the shadow guard, and after a few instructions, let him go to work.

After the shadow guard left, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou walked in the courtyard for a while before returning to the bedroom.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou went to bed after taking a bath, and slept all afternoon. They didn't feel sleepy anymore, but it's good to rest in bed.

Holding the hand of the person beside him, Long Xiaoyuan raised his hand and placed Shi Qingzhou's hand on his chest.

Listening to the hot temperature and the strong heartbeat from the palm, Shi Qingzhou felt that his heart was peaceful at the moment.

Feeling calm, Shi Qingzhou grabbed Long Xiaoyuan's palm and put it on his chest.

After a while, Long Xiaoyuan said softly: "Qingzhou, tell me, now..."

"Huh?" Seeing that Long Xiaoyuan paused while talking, Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows to look at him. "Now what?"

Long Xiaoyuan thought for a while and said, "I just think the current situation seems a bit complicated."

"Which aspect do you mean?"

Long Xiaoyuan smiled wryly. "In the overall situation, I always feel that there are more than one group of people doing the same thing as behind us."

Shi Qingzhou paused. "What do you suspect?"

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head, "I can't tell, I just feel something is wrong."

Shi Qingzhou didn't speak immediately, but looked at Long Xiaoyuan fixedly in the blink of an eye, and finally, Long Xiaoyuan sighed softly.

"Let's not talk about this, no matter how many waves there are, there will always be people."

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Um."

After talking again, Long Xiaoyuan turned to his side, hugged Shi Qingzhou and fell asleep...

The next day, when Long Xiaoyuan woke up, the person beside him was still sleeping. Long Xiaoyuan looked sideways, and when he saw the beautiful sleeping face of the person beside him, his brows and eyes frowned.

Standing up gently, keeping all the noise to a minimum, Long Xiaoyuan took the clothes to the outside room to change.

These days, in order not to disturb Shi Qingzhou's sleep in the morning, he mostly chooses to go outside when changing clothes.

Long Xiaoyuan went outside to the eunuch Liu Xiangyang to finish changing his clothes, looked at the sky, and then went to court.

What he didn't know was that Shi Qingzhou woke up after the other party left, got up quickly, and went straight down to the basement after changing clothes.

There, two men in Tsing Yi were already waiting there.

"See master." When Shi Qingzhou arrived, the two knelt down and saluted.

Shi Qingzhou waved his hand lightly. "Okay, you all get up."

The two men in Tsing Yi stood up.

Shi Qingzhou ordered lightly. "Follow Fang Shuoyang and Xu You, and spy on him secretly. If Fang Shuoyang is not threatening, you just watch and if there is... shoot him to death."

"Yes." The two men in Tsing Yi listened to the order.

Shi Qingzhou said nothing, turned and left the darkroom.

And the two men in Tsing Yi found another secret passage along the dark room and left without a trace.

After Shi Qingzhou returned to the top, he sat in the room for a while, and then went to the study.

After arriving at the study, Shi Qingzhou made a painting casually.

When the last pen was being written, Long Xiaoyuan came back.

Shi Qingzhou raised his eyes and looked towards the door.

Long Xiaoyuan walked over. "Is Qingzhou painting? Let me see."

Shi Qingzhou raised the corners of her lips slightly. "Um."

Long Xiaoyuan carefully picked up the painting in Shi Qingzhou's hand, "Huh? It's actually an animal?"

Shi Qingzhou's painting is a cat, and the black cat in the ink and wash painting seems to be rushing for food. It's also interesting to look at, and it looks quite interesting.

"Well, how is it?" Shi Qingzhou asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Long Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "I like all Qingzhou's paintings!"

Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly. "oh?"

"That's not true." Long Xiaoyuan put away Shi Qingzhou's painting, and then hugged Shi Qingzhou's waist from behind.

Shi Qingzhou looked at his waist and smiled slightly.

Long Xiaoyuan hugged the man for a while, and then he took the man's hand and went outside to prepare for breakfast.

The people below brought up the breakfast. Long Xiaoyuan pulled Shi Qingzhou and sat down at the table.

"Report to the emperor, Concubine Shan, please see me."

"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows. "Go and ask her why."

"Yes." Liu Xiangyang resigned.

Shi Qingzhou frowned slightly, "What is she here for?"

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "have no idea."

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. "A noble concubine Rou came over and poisoned you, and now there is another noble concubine Shan."

Hearing Shi Qingzhou's cold words, Long Xiaoyuan instinctively felt guilty.

"Light boat..."

Shi Qingzhou put down the bowl and chopsticks, at this time, Liu Xiangyang, the deputy manager, came in again.

"My Majesty, Empress, Concubine Shan said that she came here to accommodate the Concubine Dowager, and I will talk about the specifics of wanting to meet the Emperor."

"Concubine Rong?" Long Xiaoyuan was slightly surprised.

He still knew about this Concubine Rong, after the death of his father, empress and queen, there were really not many remaining concubines in the previous emperor's generation, and this Concubine Rong was one of them.

When Concubine Rong was still alive, the former Long Xiaoyuan also went to see it twice.

Moreover, Concubine Rong has a good relationship with Priority.

When they were alive successively, Concubine Rong had a lot of contacts with each other, she treated Concubine Rong one after another, and Concubine Rong at that time also took good care of her.

However, after Long Xiaoyuan came to the throne, although this Concubine Rong also lived in the palace, she had long since stopped asking about worldly affairs.

Now Concubine Shan is talking about Concubine Rong... It's strange no matter how you think about it!

Squinting his eyes, Shi Qingzhou said: "No matter why Concubine Shan came here, the incident of Concubine Rou will inevitably happen again. Let me see you."

Seeing that Shi Qingzhou was in a bad mood, Long Xiaoyuan didn't want to argue with him.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan nodded very openly. "Okay, then I'll avoid it for a while."

Shi Qingzhou nodded, and did not call people in immediately, but settled the remaining two breakfasts slowly, and then ordered people to tear down the breakfast, and then called the noble concubine Shan in.

Concubine Shan came in, and seeing that there was only Shi Qingzhou waiting for her inside, she had a premonition that things would not go well today.

But... there is no other way now!

After Concubine Shan went in, she greeted Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou was not in a hurry to make people get up, he held a cup of tea in his hand and drank it slowly.

Concubine Shan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Shi Qingzhou ignored the cold sweat on Concubine Shan's face. In fact, his eyes seemed to be focused on the tea lid in his hand.

After a long time, when Concubine Shan could barely kneel down, Shi Qingzhou finally spoke lightly.

"Get up, Concubine Shan."

Concubine Shan staggered when she stood up.

Shi Qingzhou saw the opponent's reaction in his eyes, and watched the maid under Concubine Shan help him up.

Shi Qingzhou said lightly again: "Sit down."

"Thank you queen." Concubine Shan immediately said.

Shi Qingzhou watched Concubine Shan sit on the chair with the help of the maid.

Then, Shi Qingzhou spoke lightly. "I heard people say that Concubine Shan came here for Concubine Rong's affairs? I don't know what Concubine Shan is for Concubine Rong's affairs."

Concubine Shan immediately lowered her eyebrows when she heard the words and said, "Queen Qi, Concubine Rong has been ill for more than half a month, and my concubine went to visit the day before yesterday, and what I said was not pleasant, as if I had my last breath... But, I can’t call any of the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital! The concubine couldn’t bear it, so she wanted to come to the emperor to ask for a favor.”

"Huh?" Shi Qingzhou's eyes immediately turned cold when he heard the words. "Concubine Rong is seriously ill, and she can't call the imperial doctor? Is this serious?"

"It's absolutely true." Concubine Shan immediately said.

Shi Qingzhou said lightly: "I already know about this matter. If what Concubine Shan said is true, I will definitely make the people in the Tai Hospital look good!"

Concubine Shan immediately said: "Thank you, Queen."

"Okay. Concubine Shan, you should go back first."

Concubine Shan didn't bother any more, and just knelt down and left.

Shi Qingzhou's eyes sank after watching the other party leave, and he summoned the shadow guards and ordered the other party to investigate this matter.

During this period of time, he and Long Xiaoyuan had a lot of things at hand, but they really neglected the harem. Although Concubine Rong lived in a remote courtyard, it also belonged to the harem, and he didn't even know about the other party's serious illness.

From Concubine Shan's mouth, it has been half a month since she was seriously ill. This is not short!

The reason why the shadow guards were recruited to investigate the situation instead of the eunuchs underneath is because only the shadow guards can quickly find out what is going on behind the scenes...

Not long after, Long Xiaoyuan came out from the study. "People left? What is it for?"

Seeing Long Xiaoyuan coming out, Shi Qingzhou immediately said: "Concubine Rong has been seriously ill in the palace for more than half a month, but she couldn't summon the imperial physician...Of course, this is Concubine Shan's words, whether it is true or not is still to be determined now." investigation."

"Concubine Rong has been seriously ill for half a month?" Long Xiaoyuan was also very surprised when he heard this. "You really need to check it out, but Concubine Rong is not Concubine Sin, so why can't someone summon the imperial physician?"

"I don't know for now." Shi Qingzhou said.

"Call Zhang Yuan to ask." Long Xiaoyuan said.

Shi Qingzhou nodded, although he had already called the shadow guard to investigate, but calling Zhang Yuan over might be able to get some news sooner.

Zhang Yuan was already working in the palace today, so he came over quickly.

After seeing the ceremony, Long Xiaoyuan asked directly: "Zhang Yuan, let me ask you, has Concubine Rong sent someone to the imperial hospital to see a doctor these days?" "Concubine Rong?" Zhang Yuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. "No... at least I don't know, for the rest, I have to go to the Imperial Hospital to find out about the others."

Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips slightly, "Oh? So you don't know?"

"Yes, I don't know."

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou looked at each other, Shi Qingzhou said: "Is there anything unusual in Tai Hospital recently?"

Zhang Yuan thought about it carefully, then shook his head. "I didn't notice anything unusual."

Long Xiaoyuan glanced at Shi Qingzhou.

Doubt flashed in Shi Qingzhou's eyes, and after a while, Long Xiaoyuan said lightly: "Okay, Doctor Zhang, you can go down."

"Yes, I will retire."

After Zhang Yuan left, Long Xiaoyuan stood up from his chair.

"Qingzhou, why do I think this is a bit weird?" Long Xiaoyuan frowned in confusion.

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "It's really weird. Logically speaking... it shouldn't be impossible for a little eunuch to go to the Tai Hospital, right? But now it seems that no one has been there, which is really strange."

"Unless everyone on Concubine Rong's side is controlled... But if that's the case, how can Concubine Shan get in, and how can she bring news?"

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou and said, "You said... is there something tricky about this?"

Shi Qingzhou nodded upon hearing this. "There must be. I just don't know what's going on. The Shadow Guard will be back soon. It won't be too late to act after we know what's going on."

"Yeah." Long Xiaoyuan nodded in agreement.
