In Zhou's study, Zhou Jing stood behind his father, unable to say a word for a long time.

Prince... Father...

When did the father become the prince's man, and when did he get on the line with the prince, and when did the father, who had always been unable to cope with the officialdom, get involved in party disputes.

Even if Zhou Jing is a general, but he is so smart, how could he fail to understand what his father meant.

Now that his father has become the prince's man, in order to win the prince's trust, he must do something. What he said now is just to let him take advantage of his marriage with Shen Ange to win the Shen family into the prince's camp.

In this way, the prince will use his father more, and the Zhou family can also have a place in the court.My father has always been just a small civil servant. It's not that he doesn't know his father's ambition, but he has no chance.

It turns out that my father is not what he seems, and it turns out that my father is not bad at dealing with officialdom, but when did this marriage start to be calculated?
He couldn't help shaking his head, he didn't notice his father's layout at all.

No matter you or the prince, whoever marries the Shen family's daughter is for the purpose of bringing the general's mansion under the prince's command.

"Father... are you under the crown prince's command?" He asked in disbelief.

"It can be said yes, or it can be said no."

Zhou Jing wanted an answer, so he asked his doubts: "But isn't father always unable to deal with disputes in the officialdom?"

"Jing'er, my father disdains court struggles, but my father only protects the orthodoxy of the world all his life. The crown prince is the future heir and the eldest son of the emperor. The recent remarks are not conducive to the stability of the court. I should support the crown prince."

"But..." But if that was the case, sister An Ge would still agree to marry him.

Thinking of Shen Ange's polite refusal when they parted last night, Zhou Jing clenched his fingers.

Zhou Shichang turned around, looked at this son who had high hopes, and said earnestly: "Think about it carefully, if you can do it, then father will definitely help you facilitate this marriage."

for a long time.

Zhou Jing opened the door of the study and walked out. It was raining patteringly, accompanied by the north wind, which brought a coolness to his face.

Zhou Jing pushed away the attendant's umbrella, and went back to the room slowly with a heavy heart.

Behind them, Zhou Shichang and his wife looked at the son who had gone away.

Mrs. Zhou asked: "My husband really asked him to marry the second girl of the Shen family?"

"Ma'am, right now we have just attached ourselves to the prince and made good friends with the Ren family. This is an opportunity to make meritorious service. If we can really bring the Shen family over, then the prince will definitely love the Zhou family. I will not let Jing Er live in Ren's house." Under the family, Jing'er will be reused by the prince in the future, so what is the Ren family?"

Along the way, all Zhou Jing thought about was Shen Ange.

She is so filial, if she knew that her marriage would implicate the Shen family and involve the Shen family in factional disputes, she would never have peace from now on, she would definitely not agree to this marriage.

He didn't want to take advantage of others, and didn't want to hide it from her, but there was no other way.

There was no time for him to hesitate.

At least……

At least how long he can hide it, when they get married, he will definitely protect the Shen family.

Zhou Jing only wished to be so despicable...

It is impossible for him to give up the girl he likes and watch her marry into the Eastern Palace.

The days are still long, as long as she gets married, there will always be a way to come up with a perfect plan.

Thinking of this... Zhou Jing pushed away the veil handed over by his attendant, picked up a pen to moisten the ink, and hurriedly wrote a letter, asking her to meet her at Mingyue Pavilion next to Hanshan Temple in the north of the city in your next year.

After folding and sealing the letter, he summoned his attendants: "Put this letter into the hands of the Second Miss Shen of the General's Mansion, hurry up!"

The sky began to drizzle, knocking off the leaves on the branches.

The entire abyss was shrouded in hazy drizzle.

He had a dream.

For the first time, he didn't dream of the dark smell of blood and the harsh faces.

Instead, I also dreamed of a rainy day, the screen was used as a shield, and the candlelight inside was scattered around. In the dense mist, the warm light of a pool became rippling due to the movement.

In his arms is a woman with black hair and fair skin, who looks like a demon.Press her on the edge of the soup pool, kiss and ask for it.

It seems that this will relieve the dull headache.

He was surprised, obviously he didn't have a headache, but his movements in the dream were so proficient, as if he had done it thousands of times.

The eyes of the woman in her arms were dim, and she bit hard, a struggling moan escaped from her lips and teeth.

The white jade-like arms wrapped around his neck, and the water mist wrapped around his skin made his neck wet.

The girl's delicate voice called out: "My lord..."

Frowning, he bit down with a sense of punishment, and a bright red drop of blood ran across his neck along the corner of his lips.

He also took advantage of the trend to lick all the way down.

His dissatisfied cold voice came from the pool: "What should I call me?"

"Gu... Gu Qing...?"

"Ok?"

"Pay...pay nine?"

A gust of wind blew, and the mist in the pool dispersed, revealing a familiar charming face.

Dreaming here, Gu Qing slowly opened her eyes and woke up.

In the secret passage under the demolished house of Hanshan Temple, four candles on the wall danced.

He propped himself up on his elbows, not quite understanding why he dreamed of Shen Ange, and forced her to call his ridiculous pseudonym in that way.

After a long pause, he sat up straight, spread his palms, and put his fingertips under his breath. It seemed that the fragrance of the delicate neck still remained on his palms, with a wet and soft touch...

For a moment, in a daze, he, who already hated touching, actually felt that making peace between a man and a woman might not be a dirty and unbearable thing.

In just a split second, this thought was replaced by an inexplicable manic depression.

This anxiety came from inexplicably, but he knew where it came from, since he heard about Shen Ange's and Zhou Jing's marriage yesterday, it has been surging in his heart since then.The scene of the two walking side by side stabbed him to this day.

"Your Highness, spare me!" The woman's miserable cry pulled him back from his thoughts.

Gu Qing was a little impatient, he raised his eyelids, and saw a woman crawling on the dark ground.

Several pieces of her clothes have been torn by the whip, one can imagine how ruthless the attack was. From the palace badge on her belt, it can be seen that she should be a relatively high-ranking maid in charge of the palace.

Before Gu Qing came in, she was already covered in bruises, but she didn't say a word, until he sat on the main seat, the woman's face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat flowed down.

Kazekage's left hand was wrapped in gauze, and he stood aside like nothing.

Beside him stood several trembling subordinates.

One of them was even changing the whip in his hand. The usual whip was replaced with a whip full of thin blades. Under Gu Qing's signal, he took out a bottle of potion and sprinkled it on.

Seeing him coming in, the palace lady saw this posture again, lost her arrogance just now, and kowtowed desperately, as if she could live longer by doing so.

She tried her best to beg: "Your Highness! Your Highness, please spare your life. For the sake of the fact that this servant has served His Highness for many years, please spare this servant!"
