But before Chu Kuo could think about it, Zhang Tailiu suddenly turned pale and screamed.

Chu Kuo frowned fiercely, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his face, "So what?"

"If...if she knows this, then doesn't she also know that this matter is..." Thinking of this answer, Zhang Tailiu's whole body trembled like chaff.

Unexpectedly, Chu Kuo sneered and picked up the new teacup brought by the maid, "So what if she knows? How can she be blamed on this prince without evidence?"

"Is there no evidence?" Zhang Tailiu murmured. With all the things going on now, he really couldn't see what his daughter was thinking.

Zhang Tailiu, who was worried in his heart, did not see the strangeness flashing in Chu Kuo's eyes.

until--

When he heard the report from his subordinates that the newly appointed second lieutenant of Hupuying had led his men to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Tailiu's face turned red with anger and he hurriedly came out of the study, "You are so brave, who gave you this?"

How dare you come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to act wild?!"

"Prime Minister, I have found out that Murong Chunlai once stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a period of time. You need to go to Dali Temple to explain this matter." Mo Bianxian came out of the guard circle and looked at Zhang Tailiu with stern eyes.

He did not hide or evade, his attitude was respectful, and he even saluted very appropriately.

Seeing the person coming, he didn't wait. Zhang Tailiu's breath was suffocated, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Who doesn't know that now Mo Bianxian is not only a new favorite, but also belongs to the lineage of His Highness the Crown Prince after the Queen's incident.

He's coming, doesn't this mean...

With his heart tightening, Zhang Tailiu angrily shouted, "That's nonsense! How could the second prince Qiu Di live in my house?"

"Now I have to ask you, Prime Minister." Facing Zhang Tailiu's anger, Mo Bianxian seemed not to notice it, and his eyes remained indifferent, "Where is the Chunlai guard in your house?"

"What spring is coming?" Zhang Tailiu frowned, inexplicably feeling that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

At this time, the housekeeper who heard the sound suddenly came over. When he heard the name, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Chun Lai? Isn't he the guard next to the lady?"

The sudden words are like thunder on the ground, making the willows in Zhangtai burnt on the outside and tender on the inside!

He said, why did he think this Murong Chunlai looked familiar? It turned out to be him!

Zhang Tailiu twitched the corner of his mouth and trembled a few times, "Mr. Zhang, may I have misunderstood this matter? He is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he has been on duty in Jiangjia Academy. He has nothing to do with the Prime Minister.

"

The implication is that if you really want something, you should look for the person who lives in Jianjia Courtyard.

Hearing what he said, the people present looked at each other with a hint of sarcasm on their lips.

Mo Bianxian sighed softly, waved his hand, "Take it away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards around him came to arrest him.

Looking at the shackles in their hands, Zhang Tailiu realized that the other party was not joking. He immediately struggled and said, "Don't wait! I am the prime minister! If you framed me, how dare you act without the emperor's order!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Tailiu finished speaking, he received a severe blow from the cane. Before he could stand up straight, the newly appointed guard of Hupu Camp suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and lifted him up.

, at the same time, a dragon-patterned sword came into view, "This is the Shangfang sword given to Lord Mo by His Majesty. He has the right to kill first and then report. Please, Prime Minister, please don't embarrass the subordinates."

"You, you..." Zhang Tailiu finally understood that the other party was definitely not just talking. His lips trembled a few times and he said loudly, "I am Mr. Xiao Zhang's father. Please bring me to meet Mr. Xiao Zhang.

Let him prove to you that the truth is innocent!"

Hearing his words, Mo Bianxian couldn't help but shake his head.

The people behind him understood and immediately covered Zhang Tailiu's mouth and escorted him out.

In the Eighth Prince's Mansion, Chu Kuo had a half-played chess game in front of him. Although there were only a few black stones left on the chessboard, his expression was very calm, and he did not have any panic about losing.

On the other hand, the person sitting opposite him looked like he was winning, but his brows were furrowed.

Until the guard's announcement came from outside, the person sitting opposite was obviously relieved. The two looked at each other and smiled, slowly putting down the chess pieces in their hands, ending the undecided game.

Picking up the tea at hand, Queen Mother Xie smiled slightly and said, "Kuo'er's chess skills are really getting better and better."

"The Empress Dowager is very grateful. You are someone who can compete with the Holy Ancestor and win his approval. Even if Kuo'er practices for another ten years, you will not be able to match." Chu Kuo sighed softly and shook his head.

Although Empress Dowager Xie felt extremely grateful for the younger generation's flattery, there was a sigh on her face, "I'm old and useless, just like the Aijia... I can't understand the move you made today."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, we will definitely save the day." Chu Kuo said confidently while collecting the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one into the chess basket, "Zhang Tailiu is her biological father after all, she doesn't dare to mess around."

"Since it is your grandfather's wish, the Ai family will not say anything more." Empress Dowager Xie nodded, "But Zhang Tailiu is the prime minister after all. You put him in jail without discussing this matter with him. When he comes out,

How can there be no second thoughts in the future?"

"Although he is the prime minister, his ability is mediocre. If it weren't for the support of his grandfather, how could he have risen to the prime minister's position?" Chu Kuo sneered, gathered the last chess piece and threw it into the chess basket.

It’s time to cultivate another one.”

"You are confident in your own heart, and the Ai family will be relieved." Hearing that Chu Kuo was so confident, Queen Mother Xie also smiled and nodded, "Now that Zhangtai Liu is in your hands, you can take control of that girl.

, after thinking about it, she will not dare to talk nonsense anymore, and this matter can be resolved like this. It is just difficult for you to work hard to plan it."

At the end of her speech, Queen Mother Xie's smile gradually faded away, her expression showing a bit of regret.

The hand holding the tea cup suddenly paused, and a trace of hatred flashed in Chu Kuo's eyes.

He really didn't expect... Zhang Qingjiu would actually play with him like a mantis swooping over a cicada and an oriole behind.

But it’s fun now, isn’t it?

Sliding the lid of the cup in his hand, Chu Kuo revealed a strange smile on his lips, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, even if you fall short, Chu Lan's current body and bones won't be able to hold on for much longer. We will just train those who are gone."

"When I saw him that day, I really wasn't that angry anymore." After saying this, Queen Mother Xie couldn't help but laugh. She stood up and said, "It's very inconvenient to go back to the palace now. The Ai family will go back today. Your Majesty said that in three days

We will reopen the feast for Prince Naqiudi, and your mother and concubine will also come back by then, so you can talk to her for a while."

Queen Mother Xie put on her hood, got into an inconspicuous carriage, and left the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

At the same time, in the Prince's Mansion, Feng Zhi ran to the backyard panting, and opened the door before he could send a message, "You, you... Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, was, was, taken away by Dali Temple."

In the house, Zhang Qingjiu was watering an orchid. When the water fell from the ladle, the orchid leaves were green and transparent.
