Chapter 417 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 28
Zhao Teng was trembling with fear for a while, not knowing how to deal with the current situation.

If he had the nerve to tell his intention, he would have confirmed the rumors among the people.

But if he went back, it would seem that they were guilty of something.

Facing the murderous gazes of Zhou Shengchen and his group, Zhao Teng was extremely terrified.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Teng decided to just get over the matter for the time being.

He immediately went to Zhou Shengchen, knelt down, and said respectfully and humbly: "Your servant Zhao Teng pays homage to the young King Nanchen. His Majesty and the Queen Mother heard that your Highness was here, and they were very happy. They specially sent your servant here to visit. Your Highness has come a long way, and you must have worked hard."

Zhou Shengchen said in a deep voice: "It's not hard. Please ask Eunuch Zhao to report to His Majesty and the Queen Mother that I came here only to send the late emperor's spirit away. Please don't think too much."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Teng felt his heart tremble.

"Yes, I will follow your orders."

After saying that, Zhao Teng immediately took his people away at a very fast speed. At this moment, he wished he had a few more legs.

The people at the city gate were all looking at Zhao Teng, whose speed was faster than flying, and they were all looking at each other in confusion.
Is this person guilty?

Ling Xi looked at Zhao Teng's expected reaction, shook his head and sighed.

She thought that Zhao Teng would invite Zhou Shengchen into the palace? How cowardly.

After all, she took the trouble to talk to Zhou Shengchen about these profound truths along the way.

It seems it is of no use.

Zhou Shengchen raised his eyes to look at Ling Xi, who immediately shrank himself up and blinked innocently.

Zhou Shengchen shook his head, thinking that he was wrong.

Ling Xi is just a soft doctor. Although he is smart and tough, he can't do such a big thing.

Taiji Hall in the palace.

The court officials stood on both sides. Zhao Teng knelt in the hall and told them what happened at the city gate.

After he finished speaking, the entire Tai Chi Hall fell silent.

The expressions of every court official were extremely interesting. They had been in the court for so many years, but now they were regarded by the people as treacherous officials who tried to force the young King Nanchen to death. Their reputation was ruined.

Qi Zhenzhen looked unhappy. She suppressed her anger and stared at Zhao Teng with a gloomy face: "So, you came back just like that?"

Zhao Teng felt miserable, as this job of delivering messages was not easy.

I was just scared by the people from Prince Nanchen's Mansion at the city gate, and now I'm going to be scolded by this woman Qi Zhenzhen. I really have to accept the worst of both worlds.

Zhao Teng made a bitter face and explained himself sadly: "My Lady Concubine, I was also in a very difficult situation at that time and didn't know what to do."

Standing aside, Yu Guang's eyes were dark. He stepped forward and said, "My Lady Concubine, the most urgent thing now is how to resolve this matter. The rumors among the people are so strange that it is not feasible to let the little King Nanchen enter the city. The most important thing is to make the people believe that we have no intention of murdering the little King Nanchen."

Qi Zhenzhen quickly asked, "What suggestions does the Master have?"

Guang replied: "Since the little King of Nanchen is unwilling to enter the city, then ask them to wait outside the city, and give the little King of Nanchen more rewards."

"In addition, it would be best to ask two important officials in the court to go and explain this matter to the young King of Nanchen. At this time, the young King of Nanchen is extremely important to Your Majesty. With him around, the princes of various places will not dare to act rashly."

Qi Zhenzhen had no choice but to follow Xi Guang's advice.

As for the person who was going to meet Zhou Shengchen, Qi Zhenzhen was worried and set her eyes on Yu Guang: "Taifu is highly respected, why not go and meet the young King Nanchen?"

This matter is in line with Xi Guang's purpose.

"The old minister obeyed."

Yu Guang then looked at a burly man standing beside him and said, "General Liu Yuan, can you go with me? After all, you are both military commanders, so you should have more topics to talk about."

Liu Yuan and Zhou Shengchen hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he also wanted to meet Zhou Shengchen, so he agreed.

Ling Xi was standing at the city gate, leaning on Feng Qiao's body out of boredom. He yawned with his hand covering his mouth while Feng Qiao blocked his view.

The people in the court were really not decisive enough, they thought too much and hesitated until now. At this time, she saw two people coming out of the palace, one civil official and one military general.

With the combination of civil and military skills, work becomes less tiring.

Not only did she see it, Zhou Shengchen and the others saw it as well.

Ling Xi came close to Xie Chong and asked curiously, "Military Advisor, who are these two?"

Xie Chong stroked his beard and squinted his eyes as he answered, "Grand Tutor Yi Guang, General Liu Yuan."

"Is this the old fox Xi Guang?" Ling Xi subconsciously glanced at Xi Guang and asked.

Xie Chong nodded, looking shocked: "Yes, I used to be an official with him, and it has been more than ten years since we last met."

Ling Xi looked at Xi Guang carefully, and then glanced at Xie Chong.

One can't help but compare these two people: the military advisor was the Grand Tutor more than ten years ago, and he taught the then late emperor and Zhou Shengchen.

This Xi Guang is only the Grand Tutor now. It seems that the military advisor should be more valued by the late emperor than Xi Guang.

However, he was born into the Qinghe clan and was also a troublesome person.

After a while, Yu Guang and Liu Yuanjiu walked in front of Zhou Shengchen.

Yu Guang had to be supported by someone as he walked, which showed that he was not in good health.

"I have met His Highness."

"I have met His Highness."

Now that these two people have arrived, Zhou Shengchen cannot pretend not to see them.

He immediately raised his hand and helped the two of them up.

"Master, General Liu, please stand up."

"I don't know why you two are here. I really just want to send the late emperor off. The Grand Tutor, General Liu, and the ministers in the court attach too much importance to me."

Not sure if it was because of Ling Xi's nagging along the way, or because he was hurt by the attitude of the people in the court, but there was a hint of sarcasm in Zhou Shengchen's words.

This was a first for him.

This made Hong Xiaoyu and others behind him extremely shocked.

Xie Chong seemed to have thought of something, and his sharp eyes swept across Ling Xi.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he was very happy.

It was also the first time for Yu Guang and Liu Yuan to face Zhou Shengchen's ridicule. For a moment, their faces changed and they didn't know how to respond.

Ling Xi, on the other hand, felt that Zhou Shengchen's attitude was really too good.

That's how it should be. All those Wang Jun in your hands are not just for show. Why are you so good-tempered? It looks like anyone can bully you.

No matter what, the people in Zhongzhou would not feel at ease with him. In this case, he might as well act stronger.

It can also make others respect him more.

Yu Guang bent down and said to Zhou Shengchen, "I came here only to explain to Your Highness that the rumors are all just rumours. Someone has ill intentions and wants to deliberately sow discord between Your Highness, His Majesty and the Dowager Concubine. Please don't take it to heart."

Liu Yuan echoed, "Yes, Your Highness. Originally, the Queen Mother just wanted Your Majesty to meet the elders because Your Majesty had never met the Emperor's uncle. She never thought that her good intentions would be spread like that by someone with ulterior motives."

Zhou Shengchen chuckled and said, "Taifu and General Liu, rest assured. I don't take this matter to heart. However, I once swore in the Taiji Palace that I would never set foot in Zhongzhou in my lifetime. Therefore, I will not enter Zhongzhou City. I hope Taifu and General Liu can explain this to His Majesty."

Hearing Zhou Shengchen's words, Yu Guang and Liu Yuan glanced at each other.

Is this something that the young King Nanchen would say?

After not seeing each other for many years, the young King Nanchen has changed.
