"Yao!" Liusu suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating profusely.
"you're awake?"
Zhuang Mo heard the sound outside the room and walked over quickly, reached out and touched Liusu's forehead, then pressed her wrist to feel her pulse——
"How is it? Is the emperor injured? Where is he now?"
Liusu asked eagerly, forgetting to hide his emotions for a moment.
"After the explosion, you fainted, and I took you to the hospital. The Emperor is protected by General Bao and the Royal Guards, so there should be no problem."
Zhuang Mo did not ignore the unusual anxiety in Liusu's eyes.
"Didn't you see him return to the palace intact? I'm going to have a look."
As Liusu said this, he opened the quilt and got out of bed, looking everywhere for his shoes.
"Xiao Qin, who are you? Why did you sneak into the Zhuang Mansion? What is your purpose?"
Zhuang Mo looked at her anxiously and asked.
Liusu was stunned for a moment. She was too obvious and knew that she could no longer hide it. Zhuang Mo was not a confused person.
She looked at Zhuang Mo and said word by word——
"Young Master, to be honest, I am Empress Qin."
Zhuang Mo was stunned. This... this was beyond his expectation. He had never thought that he might have some relationship with the emperor, but he never thought that the person with the scar on his cheek was Empress Qin.
She was also Emperor Zhuyao's favorite woman.
Regarding the fact that Emperor Zhu Yao was deposed, the matter did not actually spread to the people. People all over the world still thought that Emperor Zhu Yao and Queen Qin were as affectionate as before. Naturally, Zhuang Mo didn't know either.
"The Queen is a thousand years old."
Zhuang Mo knelt down on one knee and said hello to Liusu.
His heart ached with sourness. No wonder she was so cold to him. It turned out to be because her husband was the current emperor.
At the beginning, Prince Lanling's underworld wedding moved everyone in the world. This event caused a sensation in the entire Sun Yao Dynasty. At the beginning, Zhuang Mo silently swore that he would be like Prince Lanling in this life and meet a woman he likes and fall in love with him so vigorously.
.
But, why did the queen disfigure her appearance and sneak into the Zhuang Mansion to work as a maid?
There were many questions swirling in his mind, but if Liusu didn't talk about it, he... would naturally not be able to ask.
"Young Master, there is no need to be polite. Get up quickly. I have something to ask of you, and I hope you can agree."
"Queen...please give me your instructions."
"I want to enter the palace."

Emperor Zhuyao was assassinated, and the entire palace felt like it was facing a formidable enemy. The Royal Guards were guarding Donghua Hall and Wenhua Hall. The guards were so tight that not even a mosquito could fly in.
"Brother Imperial, Brother Imperial..."
General Wang, Thirteenth Master Zhu Yetong didn't have time to take off his armor, so he hurried from the training ground to the Wenhua Hall.
"Master Thirteen, you are here."
Xue Lan stepped forward and bowed to say hello.
"How's it going? What happened?"
Zhuye Hitomi handed the iron helmet in his hand to Zuo Mu behind him, and asked as he walked.
"Back to the Thirteenth Master, the Emperor went out of the palace to worship heaven and met an assassin who had gunpowder tied to his body and wanted to die together. The Emperor was slightly injured and is now waiting for the Thirteenth Master!"
"Damn it, if you dare to touch my imperial brother, I will kill them all! Get rid of them quickly!"
Zhu Yetong hurriedly walked into Emperor Zhu Yao's palace and saw him sitting in front of a chess game, lowering his head and meditating. The palm of his right hand had been bandaged and wrapped in white silk cloth.
"Brother Emperor..."
Zhuye Hitomi shouted.
"Thirteen, here we come." Emperor Zhuyao raised his head, with a rare murderous look on his face, but his tone remained calm.
"Has the imperial doctor come? Is it serious?"
Hitomi Zhuye sat down and asked with concern.
"It's okay, don't worry."
"Is it Fourth Brother?" Zhuye Hitomi held the corner of the table tightly, his eyes bursting with angry and complicated light.
"Come, let's play chess."
Emperor Zhuyao said.
"Play chess?!" Zhuye Hitomi was stunned. He thought he would get furious and order him to arrest the traitors immediately and punish them severely in order to revitalize the government. Who knew that he actually said to play chess?
"I haven't played chess with you for a long time. The last time I played chess was five years ago. You came to see me and it snowed heavily. You refused to leave and insisted on staying at my place for the night. You couldn't sleep at night, so you kept pestering me.
I played chess, and ended up fighting with me all night, but you regretted it every time."
Emperor Zhuyao recalled the embarrassing incident of Zhuye Tong seemingly happily.
"Why are you still in the mood to talk about this now? What happened to the assassin? He wants to die with you! This is so unusual!"
Hitomi Zhuye looked at the chessboard, wondering if he was in the mood to play chess.
Emperor Zhuyao picked up a chess piece, determined to play the chess piece, and said——
"The most taboo thing in playing chess is to be anxious to win. If you are anxious, your opponent will have a chance to beat you. If you are indifferent, your opponent will panic. Thirteen, remember, haste makes waste."
No matter what happened, he never panicked.
"I just want to know if it's the fourth brother?" Zhuye Hitomi listened to his words, glanced at the chessboard casually, and then made a move.
"General, you lose."
Zhu Yetong was distracted, so Emperor Zhu Yao killed his son.
"Is it Fourth Brother?" Zhu Yetong kept chasing after him, but he didn't even listen to Zhu Yaohuang's words.
"The fourth brother is not here. Please go to the Chenghe Hall more often and fulfill your filial piety for your fourth brother."
"Brother, what do you mean..."
Zhu Yetong looked at Emperor Zhu Yao, the haze in his eyes gradually deepening.
"Your Majesty, Zhuang Mo, the banker, wants to see you. Do you want me to go back?"
Outside the bead curtain, Xue Lan's voice came over.
Emperor Zhuyao waved his hand, indicating that Zhuye Tong could leave——
"Pass it on."
"yes."
Hitomi Zhuye originally came to learn about the assassin incident, but he came to play a game of chess with only one move, but he drove him away again.
I really don't know what he means.
"Take care of yourself."
After a few words of warning, Zhuye Hitomi left.

"Cao Minzhuang Mo Keng meets the Emperor..."
After receiving permission, Zhuang Mo and Liusu, disguised as a man, entered the Wenhua Hall.
