"Qingzao, why did you come back from outside? Didn't you say that you were tired, and then rest in the inner room?" Shen Changting saw that Zhao Qingzao actually came back from outside, and asked in surprise, after Zhao Qingzao sneaked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had been accompanying Xiaocao to read, and he really didn't find that Zhao Qingzao was gone, so now that he saw that Zhao Qingzao was not staying in the inner room, he felt so strange.

Because of the discovery of Chi Fenglai's secret, Zhao Qingzao was too happy along the way, and even forgot to sneak back to the house, and now he was caught by Shen Changting in person, Zhao Qingzao was immediately stunned, and after a while, he said with a dry smile: "I see that you and Xiaocao are so serious, so I don't want to disturb you, so I went out lightly, and it's normal that you didn't find out." ”

Although Zhao Qingzao said Zhenzhen, but Shen Changting is not a fool, how could he not see that she was lying, Zhao Qingzao obviously came back from outside the house, and Shen Changting would not blame her, but he was just curious about what she was going out for.

"Qing Zao, you go into the house first, don't stand outside. Even if Shen Changting changed again, his cold temperament would still not change, so he didn't delve into what Zhao Qingzao was doing, he just said to Zhao Qingzao with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao was slightly stunned, and then responded, and returned to the house with Shen Changting, Xiaocao was lying on the table and practicing calligraphy seriously, but he didn't notice that Zhao Qingzao came back from outside, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao didn't want to disturb Xiaocao, so he quietly walked into the inner room, planning to change his clothes.

After changing his clothes, Zhao Qingzao saw Shen Changting just walking into the inner room, hesitated for a while, and then asked Shen Changting, "Changting, do you think Changque is your younger brother?"

Zhao Qingzao didn't know why he asked this, probably because he wanted to know what Shen Changting thought in his heart, although Shen Changting had never taken Shen Changque seriously, but if he knew that Shen Changque was the son of the Seventh Prince, not his younger brother, Shen Changting would still have mixed feelings in his heart, and he would be very sad.

"Qing Zao, why do you ask this? Isn't Changque my younger brother?" Shen Changting frowned slightly, and when he noticed something unusual, he asked suspiciously.

Zhao Qingzao originally just wanted to ask Shen Changting what he thought, but he didn't expect Shen Changting to notice it, and after turning his head to avoid Shen Changting's gaze, Zhao Qingzao said: "It's nothing, it's just a casual ask, you see that Shen Changque doesn't know anything, and he is idle all day long, neither like his father's son, nor like your younger brother." ”

"Changque has been spoiled by Chi Fenglai since he was a child, he can't even write words, let alone practice calligraphy, you didn't know Changque on the first day, what he is like, don't you always know it? Why did you suddenly ask this today?" Shen Changting still felt a little strange, so he continued.

Zhao Qingzao really didn't know how to answer Shen Changting's question, so he simply turned around and left the inner room directly, Shen Changting didn't react to what was going on, he saw Zhao Qingzao walk out of the inner room, Zhao Qingzao did this clearly to hide something, Shen Changting was slightly stunned, and also walked out of the inner room, after seeing Zhao Qingzao, he grabbed Zhao Qingzao's arm and asked: "Qingzao, you must have something to hide from me, tell me what's wrong?" If you don't say it, I will definitely be cranky." ”

Zhao Qingzao looked at Shen Changting, thought for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Actually, I did secretly leave the house, and it was to secretly follow Chi Fenglai to see what she was doing, but I saw Chi Fenglai and the Seventh Prince meeting in a tea shop, and I also heard the conversation between the two of them, it turned out that Chi Fenglai was the friend of the Seventh Prince, and Shen Changque was the child of the two of them. ”

Zhao Qingzao told Shen Changting everything he knew, and Shen Changting was also greatly shocked after knowing about it, and he didn't speak for a long time, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao knew that Shen Changting must be very uncomfortable in his heart, after all, no one thought that Shen Changque was not Shen Kaiyuan's son, I am afraid that Shen Kaiyuan would faint directly to the ground in anger if he found out.

"Qingzao, I believe you are telling the truth, no wonder you asked me those strange questions as soon as you came back. After a while, Shen Changting shook his head with a helpless smile and said to Zhao Qingzao.

It seemed that Shen Changting had accepted this fact, Zhao Qingzao thought that he would be uncomfortable for several days, but when he found that Shen Changting had recovered, Zhao Qingzao was also relieved.

"Changting, Chi Fenglai has been deceiving you father and son, if it weren't for me discovering the secret of Chi Fenglai and the Seventh Prince, who would have thought that they had been friends for more than twenty years?" Zhao Qingzao comforted.

Now that he already knew about this matter, Shen Changting also wanted to know what Zhao Qingzao would do next, originally he hated Chi Fenglai very much in his heart, but now he knew that Chi Fenglai was the best friend of the Seventh Prince, and Shen Changque was not Shen Kaiyuan's biological son, so he naturally wanted Chi Fenglai to pay the price, so Shen Changting hurriedly asked Zhao Qingzao: "Qingzao, how do you deal with Chi Fenglai?"

"Of course I've thought about it, when we go to the palace tomorrow, you'll know what I'll do. On the way back, Zhao Qingzao had already thought of the next plan, so as soon as Shen Changting asked, she replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Shen Changting just nodded, but didn't say anything, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, whether he agreed with Zhao Qingzao's plan, the two of them looked at each other again, but they just looked at each other and smiled, and didn't speak.

Tomorrow is the day to go to the palace as a guest, Zhao Qingzao prepared a few beautiful clothes for Xiaocao, and after Xiaocao tried them all, Zhao Qingzao still couldn't decide which one to let Xiaocao wear tomorrow, so he could only ask Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, which clothes do you like?"

"Mother, I'm just a child, how can you let me choose clothes?" Xiaocao blinked and asked Zhao Qingzao with an innocent face.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao stretched out his hand and knocked on Xiaocao's forehead, and said with a smile: "You kid, you still joke with your mother? ”

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiaoyu suddenly walked into the house, and after saluting Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao, he said, "Young lady, General Chu is here." ”

Chu Xingshan is here? It's night now, how could he come over? Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but think of the fact that the Seventh Prince promised to save Master Chi, could it be that the Seventh Prince had already entered the palace to see the emperor, and he had also kept Master Chi? Thinking like this, Zhao Qingzao hurriedly said: "Quickly invite General Chu into the house." ”

"Yes, young lady. Xiaoyu responded, and soon brought Chu Xingshan into the house.

"Xiaoyu, you take Xiaocao out to play for a while, I have something to say to General Chu. Zhao Qingzao found that Chu Xingshan was angry, so he said to Xiaoyu.

After Xiaoyu and Xiaocao left, Zhao Qingzao walked to the table, poured a cup of tea for Chu Xingshan, and handed it to Chu Xingshan before asking, "Xingshan, why did you suddenly come to see me so late?"

Chu Xingshan was furious, and after drinking the tea, he put the teacup on the table again, and then said angrily: "The emperor has changed his mind, he just locked Master Chi in prison, and he will not give another order to cut off Master Chi's head, do you know who spoke for Master Chi?"

"Seventh Prince. Zhao Qingzao had already guessed that this was the case, so after listening to what Chu Xingshan said, she was not surprised, but replied calmly.

"Qing Zao, how do you know that it is the Seventh Prince? Could it be that Chi Fenglai is really the best friend of the Seventh Prince? By the way, I didn't go back to the General's Mansion today, and I even forgot to ask my subordinates what happened. "Chu Xingshan stayed in the palace all day, and the emperor had already decided to issue an order to cut down Master Chi, but after the seventh prince entered the palace, the emperor changed his mind, so Chu Xingshan was so angry, and as soon as he left the palace, he hurriedly came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Zhao Qingzao.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao told Chu Xingshan about tracking Chi Fenglai today, and after Chu Xingshan learned that the Seventh Prince was Chi Fenglai's good friend, he slapped his hands on the table angrily, making Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but complain: "Xingshan, don't smash the table, and is it necessary for you to be so angry? Master Chi has been imprisoned, and there will be no chance to leave the cell in the future, and this retribution is enough for him." ”

"Of course I'm angry, the Seventh Prince relied on his identity to keep Master Chi, that Chi Fenglai has such a powerful backer, and your life in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be even more difficult in the future. After Chu Xingshan calmed down a little, he said to Zhao Qingzao.

It turned out that Chu Xingshan was worried that the Seventh Prince would help Chi Feng to deal with him, so he was so angry, Zhao Qingzao was very moved in his heart, thinking that Chu Xingshan had no blood relationship with her, but he was like a brother and sister, and God was still very good to her.

"Hiking, tomorrow Changting and I will take Xiaocao to the palace as guests, and when the time comes, I will tell the Seventh Princess that the person she has been finding is Chi Fenglai, and the Seventh Princess will definitely not let Chi Fenglai go easily, even if we don't make a move, Chi Fenglai's good days will come to an end, so you don't have to be angry, and you don't have to worry about me." Zhao Qingzao looked outside the house, and after making sure that there was no one, he said to Chu Xingshan.

Although Chu Xingshan wanted to know what Zhao Qingzao would do next, it was getting late now, and he couldn't stay in the house for too long, lest Chi Feng take the opportunity to spread some gossip when he came, which would cause Zhao Qingzao a lot of trouble.

"Qingzao, I'll go back to the house first, you must have a reason to do things, I'll wait for your good news tomorrow." Chu Xingshan said directly to Zhao Qingzao, and after finishing speaking, he left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

On the second day, Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting took Xiaocao to the palace, and after knowing that the Seventh Prince was Chi Fenglai's good match, on the way to the palace, Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting had some mixed feelings in their hearts, and they couldn't tell what it was like.

"Daddy, mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze all the way? Don't you want to go to the palace as a guest?" At this moment, Xiaocao, who was originally sitting on the sidelines and playing by herself, suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting came back to their senses, but Zhao Qingzao reacted faster, and immediately said with a smile: "Xiaocao, my father and mother are both adults, so there are a lot of things to think about, so you can play next to you for a while." ”
