Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2628

1141: An irresistible thought

“Crown Prince? Where did the Crown Prince come from?” Zuan didn’t react for a moment.

“Of course it’s the son of the Crown Prince’s concubine, Concubine Bai.” Sang Qian explained, “He is the Crown Prince’s only flesh and blood, and he has a good family background. In addition, the Crown Prince later became the Emperor, so he still has a strong appeal in the Zhao family.”

Zuan frowned. Concubine Bai…

During the trip to Zishan, Zhao Hao seemed to have sensed the five decays of heaven and man, and planned to execute Concubine Bai, the spy of the Demon Sect, in advance, and ordered him to do it himself.

At that time, he took great pains to save Concubine Bai, and after that, Concubine Bai secretly returned to the capital because she was worried about her son, and then she lost contact.

His first reaction was that Concubine Bai was definitely not the kind of person who would be ungrateful and go against him, but then he thought that the other party valued her son the most, and for the future of her son, it was not surprising for a mother to do anything.

“Those Zhao princes actually dared to jump around. It seems that we were too kind to show them mercy before.” Zuan’s expression turned cold. At the beginning, he purged Biqi and several princes in the capital, and mostly appeased the others. Now it seems that he has left trouble behind.

Sang Qian asked her daughter to eat candied haws aside, and she discussed with Zuan: “If we killed those Zhao princes at that time, it would only cause chaos in the world in advance, and we would not be able to unite to deal with the demons from outer space. However, when the demon chaos was quelled, those Zhao princes became active, especially after a few years without any news from you. There are rumors that you have died in the other world, and those ambitious people naturally can’t sit still.”

Zuan apologized: “I’m afraid you haven’t had a good life these years. I’m worried about you.”

Sang Qian smiled sweetly: “We don’t believe those rumors. We believe in you. No matter how big the danger is, you will definitely come back safely.”

Zuan’s heart warmed up and he hugged her in his arms. At this time, he felt a warm feeling of home.

No matter how dangerous it is outside, there is always someone waiting for him here.

“By the way, why is Dandan also on the battlefield?” Zuan asked curiously.

“Actually, it was you who had the crazy idea to create an empress,” Sang Qian rolled her eyes. “At the beginning, no one dared to say anything because of you who suppressed it, but after you left, many people secretly became dissatisfied with Linglong.”

“Linglong is indeed very resourceful and capable, but she is a woman, and it is difficult for her to solve this innate problem. Our human race is not like the demon race’s structure. There have been very few empresses in history, so all forces are actually dissatisfied. Later, when they got the chance, they all rebelled.”

“Even within the court, some ministers are also restless and do things insincerely. We can’t just watch her get bullied alone, so we go to help her. Because of you, she absolutely trusts us. During this period, Dandan is helping to transport food and grass to the front line with the gang she founded in her early years. I was worried about Sisi, so I stayed in the capital to help with some logistical work.”

After listening to her story, Zuan couldn’t help but be silent. It can be imagined how difficult the situation that Bi Linglong has been facing during this period. It is indeed too irresponsible for him to be a hands-off boss.

“Where’s the Queen Mother?” Zuan then asked about the situation.

“The Queen Mother and Linglong are one inside and one outside. Now Linglong is leading the army in person, while the Queen Mother is in charge of the capital. If she wasn’t there, the capital would be in chaos as soon as Linglong left.” Sang Qian addressed Linglong, and it seemed that they had a good relationship over the years.

Zuan nodded secretly. After he entered the capital, the entire capital was no different from before except for the stricter inspection at the city gate. It seemed that Liu Ning was indeed good at government affairs.

“I want to go to the palace.” Zuan said in a deep voice. Perhaps only the Queen Mother knew the current situation better.

Sang Qian’s expression darkened. They had just reunited and were about to separate again, but she knew the importance of the matter: “Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Zuan smiled slightly and held her hand: “You come with me.”

Feeling the warmth of his palm and the gentle eyes, Sang Qian’s melancholy was instantly swept away: “Okay!”

Suddenly she felt a little embarrassed: “But Sisi is still here with no one to take care of her…”

Zuan went over and picked her up: “Wouldn’t it be better if she came with us to the palace?”

“I’m afraid…” Sang Qian originally wanted to say that it was a bit inappropriate, but then she thought about it. Sisi was his daughter, and there was no place in the world that she couldn’t go. Immediately, all the words turned into one, “Okay.”

Then Zuan held his daughter in his right hand and held Sang Qian’s hand with his left hand, and they came all the way to the main gate of the palace. This time he did not fly in directly past the guards, but walked in openly, just to let more people see that he was back.

Sang Qian felt a little uncomfortable being held by his hand in public. You know, their relationship has always been underground, and now she is a little uncomfortable with this.

Especially when entering a place like the Imperial Palace, she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but the other party held it tightly and didn’t let go at all.

She was smart, so how could she not understand that the other party wanted to let them stand in front of the stage in broad daylight in this way?

She lowered her head, bit her lips tightly, and tried hard not to let her tears fall. She had already accepted her fate and would be an underground lover for the rest of her life, but which woman in the world didn’t want to appear in front of the world with her lover in broad daylight?

At this time, there was a commotion outside the palace gate: “The Regent, the Regent is back!”

Zu An smiled and signaled, and quickly walked into the Imperial Palace.

The news quickly spread to all parts of the capital at an astonishing speed.

Liu Ning, who was originally discussing government affairs with court officials, got the news and didn’t care about what was in her hands. She ran outside to greet them in a hurry.

Someone next to her whispered: “Queen Mother, this is not in accordance with the rules…”

Normally, the Regent is still a minister, and even the emperor should come to see the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother take the initiative to greet him?

Liu Ning smiled sweetly: “The regent is not an ordinary person, he deserves it.”

Everyone in the imperial study was stunned. The empress dowager had a sad face during this period. Is this the first time she smiled so happily?

Not only happy, but also very beautiful.

Everyone remembered that the empress dowager did not seem to be too old. Although she was called the empress dowager, she was now at the peak of her age.

Could it be that the empress dowager and the regent…

As soon as this thought arose, it was extinguished by the ministers. This topic cannot be touched upon.

Anyway, as long as the regent does not publicly marry the empress dowager, it will be fine. In history, it was very common for empress dowagers to keep lovers

. Liu Ning quickly left the imperial study, holding up her skirt. She had only one thought at this time, which was to throw herself into the other’s arms regardless of everything.

The separation over the years has brought her lovesickness to a peak. Coupled with the rebellion of princes in various places during this period, she was even more depressed.

Who cares about the queen mother, or the public opinion in the court? If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t want to be this useless queen mother now…

When she saw Sang Qian and her daughter in Zuan’s arms, her surging impulse finally calmed down a little.

She realized that this was indeed not an appropriate occasion.

But when she saw the pretty little girl in Zuan’s arms, another thought came to her mind: I also want to give birth to a child for him!
