Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 224
"That's it, I won't go into her bedroom. Go and take it out for me." Cheng Qing didn't want to cause trouble, so he simply took a step back.

The palace maid smiled and said: "Isn't the commander making things difficult for me? You can't even enter, let alone us."

Cheng Qing asked: "If you can't come in, who will clean the princess's room?"

"When I was cleaning, that was the time when the princess allowed me to wait in, but now I can't." The palace maid said in embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, I won't change here anymore. I'll go back and change." Cheng Qing turned around and left, not bothering to waste time here.

"Farewell, Commander." The palace maid saluted her.

Back at the military camp, Cheng Qing changed into his armor, and then came out with Qiulan.

Qiulan has been in her tent, responsible for reading the news that came back. When Cheng Qing came back, she had already read it closely.

As the two walked, Qiulan reported the situation to her.

After Cheng Qing heard this, he said: "It's really Concubine Shu who wants to kill me. I thought she could hide it a little bit, but I didn't expect that she didn't do it strictly enough. Is this considered being used by others?"

Qiulan frowned slightly, but did not speak again.

"Looking at it now, only this kind of logic is the most reasonable. However, I really can't think of why Concubine Shu wants to cooperate with Zhao Wujue? To save her life? But with her status as Concubine Shu, she can still be the concubine in the future." If there is a chance, she can even be the queen mother." Cheng Qing made many guesses, but he couldn't guess one.

Concubine Shu is in her 30s. Apart from adopting Zhao Wushuang, she has no other children. This is not reasonable at all.

Could it be that her mother clan was threatened by someone?
Finally one guess was reasonable, Cheng Qing's eyes lit up, he pulled Qiulan over, whispered something in her ear, and then gave her a token.

Qiulan took it, looked at her, and said, "Miss, be careful."

"Got it, let's go."

Qiulan turned and left.

"Everything has been done, where should I go?" Cheng Qing scratched his head, and then he had a direction, "It's better to go to Qingcheng Palace first. It's important to find Yan'er."

……

Concubine Shu was banned and was not allowed to leave Zhaohua Palace.

Her status was not reduced, and not even a fraction of her monthly salary was deducted.

The emperor's behavior made Concubine Shu very uneasy.

Concubine Shu called Zhao Wushuang over very uneasily.

After entering Zhaohua Palace, Zhao Wushuang looked helplessly at Concubine Shu who had dragged her into the bedroom, and said, "Concubine Mother, are you okay now? Why are you doing this?"

Concubine Shu said anxiously: "But I just don't know why I am so uneasy. Shuang'er, do you remember? Concubine Yue was confined in the palace like this before she died."

Zhao Wushuang wanted to roll her eyes, but she held it back and patiently said to Concubine Shu: "Don't worry, Concubine Yue brought it upon herself. She is a spy of the enemy country. You are not. You just made some mistakes because of the influence. It's okay." Yes, don’t worry.”

"Is it really going to be okay?" Concubine Shu was now completely confused.

Zhao Wushuang nodded and said, "You will be fine."

"Shuang'er, go and find Cheng Qing, Concubine Mother has something to tell her." Concubine Shu said.

Zhao Wushuang looked at her nagging look and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, I'll go find it for you. Just wait, I'll be back soon."

"Hmm." Concubine Shu was extremely worried, almost pinning her hopes on her.

Zhao Wushuang didn't take Concubine Shu's fears to heart, he just thought she was nagging her. However, considering that she had raised him for so many years, it was hard work without credit, so he decided to help her and went to find Cheng. clear.

As for whether Cheng Qing will come then, that is not something she can decide.

At this time, Cheng Qing was suffering from a headache.

Because her brother suddenly told her that he would not be able to come back for the next few days.

Come back, no, come? !
Darling, can you make this joke casually?
If you say you can't come back, you can't come back?

Co-authoring here is she carrying it alone again?
Forget it, I'm used to it.When he comes back, give him a good talk.

"Commander, I have something important to report!"

A royal guard stood in front of the military tent.

Cheng Qing sat up straight, took on the air of a leader, and said, "Come in."

The imperial guard ran in, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Commander, all those assassins are dead."

Cheng Qing touched his chin and said, "I understand, you go down first."

"Yes." The Imperial Forest Army was anxious when they stopped coming in, and retreated calmly.

Cheng Qing held his head, played with a clean lake pen, and said, "I actually committed suicide. Is this loyalty or fear?"

The corners of Cheng Qing's mouth turned up slightly.

At this moment, a woman wearing light clothes appeared at the door. Cheng Qing noticed it instantly and took a closer look. It was Qiulan who was back.

Qiulan walked in.

Cheng Qing asked with a rather solemn expression: "How is it?"

Qiulan nodded and said, "Miss, I guessed it all."

Cheng Qing touched his chin, thinking about Concubine Shu's previous situation and what she would do next.
Since Concubine Shu is still a member of Zhao Wujue, she might be able to break through from here.

Concubine Shu has been exposed now, so what would she do if she were Zhao Wujue?

Thinking back to Concubine Shu's little plan, if it can be successful, then it is good, even if it is not successful, it will not affect Zhao Wujue.

This is a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.

The strength of Concubine Shu's mother clan is actually not very strong. It can be seen that they can be manipulated easily by Zhao Wujue who is far away from the court.

In this case, she must have been abandoned by Zhao Wujue now.

The next step is to protect the mother clan, no, it should be to protect yourself, and you will definitely find another backer.

"I know what Concubine Shu is going to do next."

Qiulan looked at her questioningly.

Cheng Qing curled his lips and said, "Go to the gate of the military camp to greet the eighth princess."

"Yes." Qiulan walked outside without asking why.

Cheng Qing thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a sentence on the note.

After looking at it and making sure there was no problem, he rolled it up and whistled to call the dove.

He put the note in and then let it fly out.

Cheng Qing watched the pigeon fly into the distance. Sometimes she wished she was the pigeon. At least she could still find her unreliable brother and see what he was doing at this moment.
While she was distracted, Qiulan led Zhao Wushuang in.

"Miss."

Cheng Qing came back to his senses and turned to look at Zhao Wushuang, with a hint of 'Sure enough' flashed in his eyes.

"The eighth princess."

Cheng Qing greeted with a smile.

Zhao Wushuang stepped forward and said with a smile: "You asked Qiulan to come to greet me. Did you expect that I would come?"

Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled, showing his innocence, and said, "Yes."
