Zhuo Chen followed Hu Bu and went straight to the emperor's palace.

The emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and sat majestically on top of the main hall.

Zhuo Chen went in and saluted him respectfully, and then asked, "I don't know if Your Majesty asked me to come today, but I have something to order?" ”

Just now, Hu Bu just told him that the emperor had an important matter that he needed to do, but he didn't tell him what it was, and he was also very curious about what could make the emperor send Hu Bu directly out of the palace to find him.

Seeing Zhuo Chen come in, the emperor couldn't help but have a little smile in his eyes, and when he heard Zhuo Chen ask, he didn't rush to say what was the matter, but first asked Zhuo Chen to give him tea, and then slowly said: "Calling you over today, there is indeed a very important matter to be handed over to you." ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Chen's expression suddenly became serious.

Here, the emperor continued, "I want you to go and find the jade key. ”

Let him go and find the jade key?

Zhuo Chen's expression was dark, and his eyes were a little incredulous.

With such an important thing, the emperor really feels free to hand it over to him directly?

But obviously in the past, he didn't pay attention to himself at all.

The emperor, who didn't pay attention to Zhuo Chen's expression at all, paused, and then looked at him with deep eyes, "And, you must pay attention to Concubine Shu carefully." ”

Judging from the previous investigation, this concubine is not simple, if she is not careful, I am afraid that she is likely to fall into her trap.

Zhuo Chen's face suddenly changed greatly, and his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at the emperor.

Seeing Zhuo Chen's gaze, the emperor smiled naturally, knowing that he must be confused because of this matter at this time, but he didn't tell him the reason directly, but said meaninglessly: "My throne also needs a good heir to inherit, doesn't it?" ”

After saying this, His Highness's Zhuo Chen's expression became even more complicated.

On the way home, he kept pondering the meaning of the emperor's words, and he had a very bold guess in his heart, but he was not sure at all.

Until he returned home, he couldn't recover from the surprise brought to him by the emperor today, and his face was a little ugly.

After chatting with the prime minister in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while, Mo Shihuan left and got into the carriage back to the Liangwang Mansion.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, she saw Zhuo Chen, who was sitting in the hall with an unnatural expression, which was obviously different from usual.

Mo Shihuan was stunned, although she didn't know what the emperor said when he came to him to enter the palace today, but looking at Zhuo Chen's reaction, it was probably not a good thing, she thought about it, and still stepped forward to Zhuo Chen, and then asked, "Zhuo Chen, what's wrong with you?" ”

But Zhuo Chen in front of him didn't react in the slightest, as if he hadn't heard her words at all, Mo Xiaohuan frowned, and continued to ask, "Did the person who asked you leave today say something to you?" ”

Even though she had already guessed something, she still didn't dare to say it directly in front of Zhuo Chen.

Hearing Mo Shihuan talk about this, Zhuo Chen really raised his head immediately, but his gaze was unusually cold.

Mo Shihuan was a little frightened by his eyes, but he still stepped forward, "If there is anything, you can say it, and the two of us will solve it together." ”

She said this with a good intention, but it didn't sound like that to Zhuo Chen, and when he heard Mo Shihuan say this, his face was even colder than just now.

After staring at Mo Shihuan like this for a long time, Zhuo Chen spoke: "Mo Shihuan, there are some things, you'd better not talk too much, don't ask more, the more you know, the more dangerous it is, don't always get yourself into trouble." ”

He narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be a threat in his eyes.

Since Mo Shihuan came to Liangwang's Mansion, it was the first time he saw Zhuo Chen treat her with such an attitude, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, and he didn't know whether to take it back or not, and the atmosphere was filled with some embarrassment.

No matter how Zhuo Chen was before, he was polite to her, but now Zhuo Chen is very different from him in the past, thinking that he just wanted to care about him, but Mo Shihuan, who was treated like this, felt unhappy and aggrieved in his heart.

Zhuo Chen also seemed to realize that his tone and attitude didn't seem to be very good, and he was about to apologize, but it was too late, Mo Shihuan said "um", and turned around and left directly.

But a few steps after walking out, she suddenly stopped again, didn't even look back, and said in a stubborn tone: "In the future, I won't ask about your affairs anymore, and I will ask His Royal Highness King Liang for forgiveness for today's affairs." ”

After saying this, Mo Shihuan went straight back to the room.

Despite this, she still felt a wave of grievance and discomfort in her heart.

After such a period of getting along, Zhuo Chen is still so wary of herself, she doesn't tell her anything, and she mistakes her concern for a bad intention, which makes her feel so sad.

On the other hand, Wu Wang Zhuoqun has been very concerned about it since he learned about the jade key, and his daily attention is on finding the jade key, which directly leads to him forgetting that he still has the task of dealing with the flood, and finally something happened, so he regretted it.

Because of the failure to deal with the flood, the emperor recalled Zhuo Qun overnight.

Zhuo Qun, who was kneeling in front of the hall, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his expression was a little panicked.

Seeing this, the emperor sitting in the palace couldn't help but snort coldly, "Now I know that I am afraid, when I asked you to deal with the flood, why didn't you know how to use dim sum?" ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Qun immediately became nervous, "Father, this matter is indeed wrong with the son, but the son-in-law is also an unintentional mistake, and I also ask the father to forgive the sin and give the son-in-law another chance!" ”

This deal with the flood was undoubtedly not a very good opportunity for him to prove himself, but he slacked off because of the search for the jade key, which led to the current scene, and Zhuo Qun now scolds himself for being stupid in his heart.

Knowing this, he should have dealt with the flood first, and then went to concentrate on finding the jade key, but now that he has done neither of the two things, he is still facing the danger of losing the opportunity, which is simply more than worth the loss.

Even though Zhuo Qun scolded himself countless times in his heart, he couldn't change the current situation.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Since you were given an opportunity and you failed to grasp it, it means that you are not capable of seizing the opportunity at all, so this opportunity should be handed over to others, and from today on, the things you are responsible for will be handed over to King Liang." ”

When Concubine Shu learned the news in the palace, she was immediately anxious and could not sleep.
