Chapter 436 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 47
Ling Xi was worried about Zhou Shengchen, so he ran for a long time, asking questions to people in the palace as he ran.

She thought that the little emperor and Qi Zhenzhen would not be so bold as to deal with Zhou Shengchen, but she was also afraid that Zhou Shengchen would fall into their trap.

After all, when she joined King Nanchen's army, Zhou Shengchen was poisoned by Luoyansha, a secret royal medicine.

Who knows whether Qi Zhenzhen would do something bad secretly, or even poison Zhou Shengchen.

Finally, I saw Zhou Shengchen in Shiqian Palace.

Zhou Shengchen was reminiscing about the past with Xie Chong in the hall, when he saw Ling Xi running in hurriedly.

It was unknown how long Ling Xi had been running. His head was covered in sweat, his messy hair was stuck to his forehead, and his cheeks were flushed. This look surprised Zhou Shengchen and Xie Chong.

Zhou Shengchen hurried forward, held Ling Xi's arm, and asked, "Why are you so tired? What happened?"

Ling Xi slowed down her heavy breathing from running all the way. She stared at Zhou Shengchen, took Zhou Shengchen's hand and began to take his pulse.

Zhou Shengchen and Xie Chong were confused and could only let Ling Xi do what he wanted.

Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that Zhou Shengchen had nothing on him.

She looked up at Zhou Shengchen, frowned and asked, "Why don't you ask someone to follow you? What if something goes wrong?"

Hearing these two questions, Zhou Shengchen laughed: "This is the palace, what can happen to me?"

Ling Xi curled her lips: "It's the palace that's dangerous. I asked Brother Feng Qiao and Brother Xie Yun where you were. They said you went to see the Emperor and the Queen Mother. It's been several hours. Isn't that enough time to do a lot of things?"

Xie Chong was puzzled: "Didn't I ask someone to tell them that they were safe? Ling Xi, didn't they tell you?"

"What?" Ling Xi's eyes widened.

In an instant, she understood what had happened.

I also understood why Feng Qiao and Xie Yun did this.

Ling Xi's face turned even redder with anger: "These two people are really..."

Not only Ling Xi understood the intentions of Xie Yun and Feng Qiao, but Zhou Shengchen and Xie Chong also understood it.

Then, Xie Chong's ambiguous gaze swept back and forth between Zhou Shengchen and Ling Xi.

He stroked his graying beard, smiled meaningfully and said, "Your Highness, spring is here and everything is reviving. Look, those little animals know to reproduce. I wonder when our palace will be able to add to its population."

Listening to what Xie Chong said, Ling Xi almost wanted to bury his head in the ground.

Zhou Shengchen looked at the tips of Ling Xi's ears which were getting redder and his heart moved.

It turns out that you are not indifferent to me.

After all, it was not good to make Ling Xi too shy, so Zhou Shengchen glanced at Xie Chong and said, "The military advisor is talking nonsense again."

Xie Chong paused while pulling at his beard, and suddenly glared at Zhou Shengchen with eyes wide open, full of disappointment.

Even though he had said this, His Highness was still so reserved.

If it weren't for the fact that His Highness is nearly thirty years old and has no children, it would be hard for an old man like him to tease a girl.

I really don’t understand good people’s hearts.

Xie Chong waved his sleeves and strode out of Shiqian Hall.

Only Zhou Shengchen and Ling Xi were left in the room.

Because of what happened just now, both of them felt a little inexplicably awkward at this moment, and the atmosphere was very ambiguous.

It seemed as if the temperature around had risen a lot.

Just as Zhou Shengchen was about to say something, Ling Xi spoke first: "How is His Majesty?"

As Ling Xi started to speak, the topic turned to business, and the ambiguous atmosphere instantly dissipated.

Zhou Shengchen said, "It's good. Apart from being a little frightened, I didn't suffer much." Ling Xi nodded, "That's good."

It is better for the little emperor to be alive and well now, otherwise once the little emperor dies, the Northern Chen will be in chaos.

"The Queen Mother is going to host a banquet for me tonight. Please accompany me." Zhou Shengchen said.

"The Queen Mother? Qi Zhenzhen? Why did she invite you to a banquet?"

When Ling Xi heard this, the alarm in his heart started ringing.

In Ling Xi's heart, Qi Zhenzhen is a woman who will do anything for power.

She admires ambitious women, but hates those who are so unscrupulous and have no bottom line.

She immediately agreed: "I'll go with you, so that you won't be bullied by that queen mother."

How can Zhou Shengchen, the little white rabbit, defeat Qi Zhenzhen, the fox?

Hearing the concern in Ling Xi's words, Zhou Shengchen smiled even more.

At the same time, he also remembered one thing in his heart, Ling Xi didn't like Qi Zhenzhen, so he had to pay attention.

It was dim at night, and Ling Xi accompanied Zhou Shengchen to attend Qi Zhenzhen's Hongmen Banquet.

But unexpectedly, after entering the hall, there was no one in the room.

A thin layer of gauze covered the sky and the earth, and then a woman wearing nun's clothes, with long hair, delicate features and looking pitiful walked out from behind the curtain.

At this time, everyone except Ling Xi was stunned.

Zhou Shengchen seemed surprised to see the person in front of him, and the woman opposite was also shocked to see Ling Xi standing next to Zhou Shengchen.

Ling Xi observed the changes in their expressions and guessed that they must know each other.

It’s possible that they are quite close friends.

Childhood sweethearts? Deep love but shallow fate? Love and hate?

Ling Xi was thinking randomly about the relationship between the two of them.

What was Qi Zhenzhen planning to do? Was she trying to get the young Prince Nanchen to marry her, or was she planning to place a spy next to him, or was she specifically looking for someone like this to annoy Zhou Shengchen?
In the end, it was the woman opposite who took action first.

She looked at Zhou Shengchen with deep affection, and anyone who was not blind could see the emotion in her eyes.

"Your Highness, long time no see."

Ling Xi was too lazy to get involved in the affairs between these two old friends, so she turned around and was about to leave.

Zhou Shengchen quickly grabbed Ling Xi and asked, "Where are you going?"

Ling Xi smiled at Zhou Shengchen, but there was no smile in her eyes.

She said calmly, "Your Highness, since the Queen Mother is not here, then I don't need to be here. You are reuniting with this old friend of yours, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to be here."

Ling Xi broke free from Zhou Shengchen's hand and turned away without hesitation.

After looking at Gao Huaiyang, Zhou Shengchen turned around and left without saying anything.

He was not a fool. He knew very well why Qi Zhenzhen let Gao Huaiyang come to see him. It was just to test his attitude towards Gao Huaiyang.

But he was not familiar with Gao Huaiyang before, let alone now.

Gao Huaiyang watched Zhou Shengchen chase the woman without hesitation. She just called out "Your Highness" and Zhou Shengchen's figure disappeared.

Her heart was filled with sadness. In the past when she was in Zhongzhou, she had never seen His Highness care so much about a woman.

After learning that Zhou Shengchen left immediately after meeting Gao Huaiyang, Qi Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Zhou Shengchen really doesn't have the slightest feelings for Gao Huaiyang?"

The eunuch beside him replied, "I heard that there was a girl accompanying the young Prince Nanchen, and Your Highness went after that girl."
