The three major happy events are promotion and wealth... the death of his wife.
Are all men like this?
Is the same true for Emperor Han?
Can't a fourteen-year relationship withstand half a year of loneliness?
Luo Changan asked himself about his emotional loyalty. The emperor once promised to compete with her in loyalty. Now she is winning, right?
I feel so uncomfortable.
She originally thought she would run into her husband's arms, and be soothed by his warmth that she would be soothed by the trauma of the past six months and the heartache of missing Aunt Mei. However, unexpectedly, she received a fatal blow when she set foot in the new capital.
The assassination and fire of Huafang, as well as the death of Aunt Mei, made her angry and aroused her fighting spirit for revenge. The emperor's... disloyalty and betrayal completely broke her already weak shoulders.
In her mind, she recalled the snow-covered wintersweet given to her by the emperor when he first took her to watch the moon on the roof. She yawned while he talked loudly about the ways of governing the country.
Thinking back to the courtyard where I Love You One Hundred Times proposed, he said the three words "I love you" that he never got tired of saying on the wicker chair.
Thinking back on the various tokens that were lost and recovered, hair knots, portraits, handkerchiefs, cinnabar inscriptions, and the bridal chamber where they drank a glass of wine.
Recalling the sunrise and the new beginning in Haitian Villa, they caught purple shells, they chased the waves with bare feet, and they laughed unbridled.
Thinking back to the mutual affection along the way from north to south, and the sense of security of being carried on his back and sleeping soundly on his shoulder.
The first kiss, the first taste of human life, two sons, and the fallen Yongle'er.
Hers is fourteen and his is nineteen.
These...are all of them not counted?
Aunt Mei said that purging and restoring the harem were all a matter of a word from the emperor. He suddenly thought about how he should deal with this calmly for a woman who regarded him as everything. Especially, she loved him deeply.
he!
Over the years, there have been ups and downs, but it seems that he has never been complete.
Luo Changan wiped his tears with his rain-soaked sleeves, but to no avail, they became wetter and wetter. He once had a home and a harbor, but now he suddenly felt homeless.
"Shen Qingchuan, did you not report my news to the court for half a year to let me see the truth? Who are you?" Luo Changan asked, feeling more and more that Shen Qingchuan was taking every step with purpose.
Shen Qingchuan shrugged, "You may have misunderstood. You have been ill for more than five months. How could I know your identity? Didn't you just tell me that you are the queen two days ago?"
Luo Changan clicked his chin without thinking deeply.
"What are your plans next?" Shen Qingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Besides revenge, I have no other plans. It's a pity that my two children can't see each other for a long time." Luo Changan put away his tears and sadness. The shadow guard who assassinated her in Hua Fang that day must be a person who can live beside her today.
, I'm afraid that he was still wearing a human skin mask at that time. To find out this person, he had to get close to you. But getting close to you now is really an unspeakable thing. "In this case... you have to continue to help me."
I will thank you again when I get in touch with my brother in a while. Really, believe me, I actually come from a merchant family, so I have no shortage of money!"
Shen Qingchuan's face was full of disbelief, "Come on, you still said that the emperor has deep love for you, but what happened? Are you considered... a thing of the past to the emperor?"
The corners of Luo Changan's mouth were astringent.
"Now that you are penniless, you still emphasize to me that you have special money. I think your family property has been misappropriated by others. I... remain suspicious. A woman's mouth is a liar."
Luo Changan was extremely helpless. At nearly twenty-eight years old, he had to live homeless and penniless. The whereabouts of his elder brother and younger brother were unknown. He was afraid that they would be separated from each other by the emperor.
We have reached the end of the world. What kind of nonsense is this life of ups and downs? She smiled bitterly and said, "Can I bring you another twenty buckets of mountain spring water?"
"That's not necessary. You are not the one who carries water." Shen Qingchuan sneered, "I have just taken office, and tomorrow the emperor will be hunting at Jiuxi Hunting Ground. I can accompany you personally, and I can also accompany you while reporting on my duties.
Jia. You know, I am not familiar with the situation in the DPRK, but you have been in the DPRK and by your side since the North, and you are extremely familiar with the officials in the DPRK and the emperor's character."
Luo Changan nodded, "You want to conduct a preliminary investigation first and know everyone's character. Then you can not step on everyone's taboos on the day of the report and be a well-rounded governor. You are a thoughtful person. However, I feel
, you not only want to be governor."
Shen Qingchuan laughed, "You're right, a man who doesn't want to be a high official is not a good man. A third-grade official is just the starting point. Guess the end point."
"I don't guess. I don't care. I guess it's more meaningful whether my son has eaten dinner and gone to the toilet on time." Luo Changan was slightly interested in his future. "I have nothing to exchange with me, so I just want to trick him."
Is it a dream about the likes and dislikes of my high-ranking officials?"
"Well, Luo Chang'an, how about you tell me the nature of a high official in the court, and I will provide you with identity convenience and teach you to enter and exit the palace as my sister-in-law and assistant?" Shen Qingchuan was full of sincerity, "You definitely need those who are related to me.
Your familiar subordinates will help you."
Luo Changan didn't actually think about it. He originally planned to return to the Feng throne and use his identity to thoroughly investigate the real culprit behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, he found that it was difficult to return to the Feng throne. He really couldn't imagine what a joke it would be for the disgraced queen to return spontaneously.
It was most tragic to go in one direction without the embarrassment. However, if the emperor had ever looked for her, she responded: "It's settled for now. What's your sister-in-law's name?"
"Shen Changfeng." Shen Qingchuan spit out these three words without hesitation, and then added: "The scars on your face can be said to be scalded by hot water when you were playing in childhood, and the throat is said to be burnt by high fever in childhood."
Luo Changan's eyebrows moved, realizing that everything up to this point was within his plan, and that he had already thought of his words. She could not understand this man more and more. Maybe he was just a man chasing power. Men have no desire for power.
The desires seem to be similar, but the hatred in his eyes is quite different.
But it doesn’t matter, everyone gets what they need.
Luo Changan settled in Shen Qingchuan's residence from that day on, and told him about the personalities and preferences of some officials in the court, from Dali Qing Nalanxiu to Lou Qingzhi, the Minister of Rites, from Grand Tutor Qin Chengyang to Night Eagle, the commander of the Imperial Guards.
From Qiu Yan, the daughter of the general who ruled the country, to the miracle doctor Cang Miao, he briefly talked about some basic situations that were basically innocuous, carefully avoiding secrets. As he talked, the past events came to mind frame by frame.
After hearing this, Shen Qingchuan had an initial impression of his colleagues in the court. At least if he wanted to get into the emperor's confidants, he would have to wear the same pants as Ye Ying, Qiu Yan, and Cang Miao. He asked with a smile, "Listen to you.
I have talked a lot about the likes and dislikes of officials, but I never heard you mention the likes and dislikes of the emperor. What is the nature of the emperor? Is there anything... that cannot be touched? "
Luo Changan lowered his eyes, "It took me fourteen years to see clearly the emperor's character. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. I wish you good luck."

Jiuxi Hunting Ground
It is located on the outskirts of Chang'an City, surrounded by mountains and sea.
Luo Changan followed Shen Qingchuan to the hunting ground. The surrounding environment was excellent, and prey could occasionally be seen running around in the woods and grasslands.
At the east end are several majestic palaces, with the words "Jiuxi Palace" written on the plaques, which were used today for lodging when hunting.
