Chapter 408 Awakening Spirit Power
The white chess piece rolled a few times on the ground, and finally stopped in front of Shen Chuhan's toes.

Shen Chuhan looked down.

The chess piece is round and smooth, not damaged, and emits a moist light in the bright and dark lights.

He leaned over, picked up the chess piece, twirled the corner of the table with his fingertips, and looked up at Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang's eyes turned dark, his face was shocked and remorseful, his pale lips squirmed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word for a long time, he just slammed his hand on the table, drooping in annoyance. head.

The table shook, and the chess pieces on the chessboard were also shaken out of place.

Shen Chuhan curled his fingers, knocked on the table leisurely, and said coldly, "Grandfather, this is already a thing of the past, and you don't have to think too much."

Xiao Wang raised his head and looked at him, frowning. After a long time, he let out a long sigh, and there was endless sadness hidden in his voice, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. Maybe at the beginning, I You shouldn't have brought Yi'er into the palace."

If Xiao Lingyi hadn't entered the palace, she wouldn't have met Jun Wuchen and Jun Wuyin, and the following series of things wouldn't have happened.

Shen Chuhan stared at him, seeing the endless remorse and self-blame in his eyes, the coldness in his eyes receded a little. "I believe that the queen mother will not regret meeting the emperor father." After all, he said lightly, "Grandfather doesn't need to blame himself too much."

Xiao Wang cupped his cheeks with both hands, breathed heavily, and let out an almost inaudible "hmm".

"The first half of my mother's life has been very hard. She is a person who attaches great importance to family affection. I hope that my grandfather and the Xiao family will not let her down again."

Hearing that there was something in Shen Chuhan's words, Xiao Wang took a deep breath and raised his head, "What does the emperor mean?"

"Has grandfather ever thought about moving back to Lindu?" Shen Chuhan didn't go around in circles with him, and got back to the topic.

Xiao Wang was taken aback, and after reorganizing his thoughts, he said, "Before, the reason why the Xiao family lived here was the difficulty, I believe the emperor can understand." At that time, as long as Jun Wuyin was still in power for a day, they would It is impossible to return to Lindu.

Shen Chuhan nodded, "The situation is different now, and I am in power. Everyone in the Xiao family is talented. If my grandfather agrees to the Xiao family's re-entry, I will naturally wish for it. What's more..."

There was a slight pause in his tone, and his scrutinizing eyes glanced at Xiao Wang's face, "If my grandfather's family can move to Lindu, I believe the queen mother will be very happy."

Xiao Wang lowered his eyes, but there was a storm in his heart.

Shen Chuhan's visit this time, it really wasn't just as simple as recognizing relatives.However, he didn't expect that he would put forward the suggestion of reactivating the Xiao family in such a nonchalant manner, so he was inevitably a little bit surprised.

To be honest, before this, the Xiao family had no choice but to become an official.

The Xiao family is a century-old family and has always occupied an important position in the court, but it has come to such a bleak end with him. It is inevitable that there will be resentment in my heart. How will I face the ancestors of the Xiao family after a hundred years?
I thought that I would never see the children of the Xiao family re-entering the officialdom in this life, but I never thought that there is such a good opportunity in front of my eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly raised his head, with a firm expression, took a deep breath and said, "Since the emperor trusts the Xiao family, then the Xiao family will definitely not disappoint the emperor's trust."

They already felt sorry for Xiao Lingyi, since Shen Chuhan opened his mouth, they would naturally support him unconditionally, which could be regarded as repaying a little bit of the past.

This is the promise.

Shen Chuhan slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Thank you for your grandfather's support, so I can feel much more at ease."

"Ajin and Ayu have my careful teaching, so I think they can help the emperor a little bit. As for the younger generation, Azhen is a malleable talent, but Ahua's ambition is not here, and Anan..."

"For Xiao Nan's words, I want him to go to the army to practice first." Shen Chuhan took over the conversation.

Xiao Wang was slightly stunned, he originally planned to suggest this, but looking at Shen Chuhan's appearance, it seems that he already understood it?

Seeing the puzzled look on Xiao Wang's face, Shen Chuhan explained, "I happened to meet him when I was wandering in the mansion during the day, and I heard that he had the intention to join the army, so I proposed this suggestion to him, and he himself agreed. If my grandfather If you have no objections, I will send someone to make arrangements when we return to Lindu."

Xiao Wang made up his mind and nodded, "The reason why I didn't agree with Ah Nan to join the army was mainly because I was afraid that he would be treated unfairly in the army. Now that these worries are gone, Ah Nan can experience some experience under General Murong, which is very good for him."

Xiao Wang was not a pedantic person, so how could he refuse such a good suggestion?

"I still have something to do, I need my grandfather's help." After solving Xiao Nan's matter, Shen Chuhan frowned slightly, and then spoke.

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

"I want to invite my grandfather to come out of the mountain." Shen Chuhan said in a deep tone.

Xiao Wang was stunned again.

Now that he is old, he originally wanted to spend the rest of his life with his grandchildren, but he never thought that Shen Chuhan would ask him to come out of the mountain again.That's why when I talked to Shen Chuhan just now, I only recommended Xiao Huaijin and the others.

"Your Majesty, I'm getting old, I'm afraid I'm no longer fit to be an official again." He thought about it, but still refused.

Shen Chuhan smiled, "Grandpa is too self-effacing." He reached out and poured a cup of tea to Xiao Wang, "Actually, I just came here, and the main purpose is to invite my grandfather out of the mountain."

Xiao Wang frowned slightly, took the teacup and thanked him, and looked at Shen Chuhan with some confusion.

With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Chuhan slammed the originally open study door shut. After confirming that the words of the two would not be heard by others, he continued, "In a few days, I may need to leave Lindu for a while. , Grandfather also knows that I have just succeeded to the throne, and although the court seems calm, there are still many undercurrents under the calm surface, so I must find someone I can trust to help handle the affairs of the court."

"I don't know where the emperor is going?" Xiao Wang was a little surprised.

Shen Chuhan didn't answer directly, just looked at him and said, "The specific inside story, I will tell you in detail when I arrive in Lindu, and I also ask my grandfather to help me with this."

Xiao Wang looked at his exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and seemed to see Xiao Lingyi's shadow in a trance, his heart was stabbed, but he couldn't say the words of refusal.

In any case, this is what the Xiao family owed them, not to mention just asking him out of the mountains, even if they let him go through fire and water, he has no reason to refuse.

Taking a deep breath, he nodded, "Okay."

Shen Chuhan's brows loosened, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "That's it, I would like to thank my grandfather." His eyes glanced at the table, and then fell on the misplaced pieces on the chessboard, and his voice was faint, "This game, I'm afraid I won't be able to play today, so I'll come back to compete with my grandfather some other day."

Saying that, he got up and stood up, "It's getting late, my grandfather should go to bed early, so I'll leave first."

Xiao Wang also stood up, nodded and said, "The emperor also rested earlier."

Shen Chuhan smiled lightly, paused in his steps, looked up at Xiao Wang, "From now on, we will be a family, grandfather, you don't have to be polite, just follow mother and queen, and call me special."

When he first arrived at Xiao's residence, he also said such words, but Xiao Wang could clearly hear that last time, there was a cold alienation in his words, but today's words came from the heart, so he also nodded , "Okay, I won't send it off, I'll rest earlier."

Shen Chuhan nodded, and walked out of the study room, his handsome figure glowed faintly under the moonlight.

After negotiating with Xiao Wang, it would be inconvenient for Shen Chuhan and the others to stay in Cangzhou for a long time.

Because Shen Chuhan was anxious to get Xiao Wang reinstated, he decided to let Xiao Wang go back to Lindu with them first, and then move his family to Lindu after Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Yaoyu settled the affairs in Cangzhou.

As for Xiao Nan, with Xiao Wang's consent, no matter how reluctant his parents were, they couldn't refuse. They packed his bags for him and let him go to Beijing first with Xiao Wang and Shen Chuhan.

In mid-June, the group returned to Lindu.

Shen Chuhan first sent a letter to Murong Zhuo, and then sent a small group of soldiers to Chongzhou together with Xiao Nan.

At the same time, the decision to restore Xiao Wangguan to his post was quickly announced in the court hall, and he was still awarded the post of Taifu.

Shen Chuhan personally went to Cangzhou to visit the Xiao Mansion earlier, and everyone had guessed it, but they were not surprised at this time.Besides, Xiao Wang was quite prestigious in the court before, and many disciples and children are still officials in the court, and there are many supporters, so Shen Chuhan's decision did not meet much opposition.

After Xiao Wang was reinstated, Shen Chuhan asked people to carefully repair the abandoned Xiao Mansion in the city and let him live in it.

So far, the preparations before going to Yuheng Island are basically complete.

On this day, after the morning court, Shen Chuhan invited Xiao Wang to go to the Imperial Study Room with him, and at the same time asked someone to call Song Qinghuan over.

Hearing the report, Song Qinghuan knew in her heart that Shen Chuhan was going to tell Xiao Wang all about the plan.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the imperial study, they found that Mu Bai was also there.

"Grandfather." Song Qinghuan entered the imperial study and smiled at Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang returned the gift, and looked at Shen Chuhan with some puzzlement.He originally thought that Shen Chuhan called him here to discuss the government affairs, but since Song Qinghuan has come, now it seems that this is not the case.

Shen Chuhan invited him to a seat, and beckoned Song Qinghuan to sit beside him, before he opened his mouth, "Grandfather, I called you here today because I want to tell you in detail about the incident I mentioned to you a few days ago."

Xiao Wang thought for a while, and quickly realized.

"What does Shu'er mean... that you will leave Lindu for a while in a few days?"

Shen Chuhan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Song Qinghuan, and briefly told Xiao Wang the ins and outs of the matter, "To tell the truth to my grandfather, I had a strange poison in my body when I was in Liangguo."

Xiao Wang's eyes widened suddenly, his expression became tense, "Are you poisoned?"

Shen Chuhan nodded and continued, "Although the poison isn't fatal for the time being, it happens twice a year, so it's better to find the antidote as soon as possible."

"Then do you know where to find the antidote?" Xiao Wang hurriedly asked.

Shen Chuhan nodded again, "We already know where to find the antidote, and we are going to leave in a few days. But my grandfather also knows that at this juncture, if I leave Lindu for too long, it will inevitably cause panic, so... I leave I don’t intend to let everyone know about Lindu’s affairs.”

Xiao Wang was puzzled, "Then... what are your plans?"

Shen Chuhan glanced at Mu Bai, "Mubai is similar to me in figure, I am going to let him pretend to be me with disguise technique. It's just that Mu Bai didn't have much experience in government affairs, so I asked my grandfather to be here when I left. Assisting the government for a while."

Xiao Wang was surprised when he heard this.

I have to say that Shen Chuhan's plan is really too bold.But it is indeed as he said, if he leaves at this time, the court will inevitably be unstable, not to mention the other three countries that are eyeing.

He pondered for a moment, looked at Song Qinghuan and asked, "Is Huan'er going with you?"

Song Qinghuan nodded, "It will be the anniversary of my father's death in a few days. I will let the news out in advance, saying that I will go to Tianning Temple in the suburbs of the city for a month to pray for my father."

"Then... Where is Emperor Ji Yijia?"

"At that time, I can only ask my mother to work hard and help take care of you for a while."

Seeing that both of them had made arrangements, Xiao Wang knew that they had made up their minds, so he stopped trying to dissuade them, nodded and said, "Okay, since you have already made arrangements, I will fully cooperate with Mu Bai. "

"Grandfather is here." Shen Chuhan said, and Mu Bai also saluted and thanked him.

Song Qinghuan looked at Shen Chuhan, "Ashu, do you still need to discuss it with your grandfather?"

Shen Chuhan nodded.

"Then I'll go and see Youyou first, you guys talk slowly." Although Xiao Wang had assisted in politics, he hadn't been an official for more than ten years after all, and Shen Chuhan still needed to mention some political matters.

Shen Chuhan had this intention, so he didn't keep her, and watched her leave the imperial study.

After returning to Huaqing Palace, Song Qinghuan asked Shen Xing to carry Youyou up.

Before he saw anyone, he heard Youyou's milky voice from a distance, "Mother's mother...Mother's queen..." After the words fell, Shen Xing's figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall, holding Youyou in his arms.

Seeing Song Qinghuan, Youyou was struggling to get off, so Shen Xing bent down and let her down.

"Queen!" As soon as Youyou landed on the ground, she giggled and ran over on her short legs.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Shen Xing behind him exclaimed, and trotted to follow.

Song Qinghuan also walked down the high steps with a smile, opened her hands towards Youyou, and looked at her rightly.At this time, Youyou happened to run over and threw herself into her arms and hugged her.

Only then did Shen Xing heave a sigh of relief, and stopped in his tracks.

Song Qinghuan is pregnant now, it's not suitable to use excessive force, so she didn't pick up Youyou, just led her to the inner hall.

"Is Youyou still good today?" In the inner hall, Song Qinghuan hugged her on the soft couch by the window, looked at her with a smile and asked.

Youyou nodded, her big eyes fluttered, and she said in a milky voice, "Queen, Youyou is so well-behaved today, and Aunt Wen even praised Youyou." The nanny, because of her submissive nature, took care of Youyou well, and Youyou hated to like her, so she was let into the palace with her, and she was in charge of serving Youyou's daily necessities.

"Youyou is so good." Song Qing smiled happily and patted her head.

"Queen, how is little brother doing well today?" Youyou crawled to her side on the soft couch, looking at her swollen belly with big eyes full of curiosity.

Song Qinghuan smiled softly, "My brother is also very good today."

"Aunt Wen said that in a few months, the younger brother will be able to come out of the mother's womb, right?" Youyou asked curiously, tilting her head.

"Yes." Song Qinghuan nodded, "However, it may be the younger sister. Does Youyou like the younger brother or the younger sister?"

Youyou put her face close to Song Qinghuan's belly, "Youyou likes everything." Then, she cautiously stretched out her hand, "Queen, can I touch it?"

Song Qing smiled and nodded.

Youyou's little fist curled up, spread out quickly, and landed gently on Song Qinghuan's stomach.

As soon as she put her hand on it, Song Qinghuan felt the baby in her stomach move, she was startled, and she didn't recover.Youyou was also taken aback at the beginning, and withdrew her hand abruptly, suddenly thought of something, raised her eyes to look at Song Qinghuan, and shouted excitedly, "Mother, brother has moved!"

While she was speaking, Song Qinghuan felt a sudden chill on her neck, looked down, and saw that the Qingluan jade pendant suddenly emitted a faint light, flickering and flickering, very mysterious.

Song Qinghuan became more and more stunned.

Seeing her lowering her head, Youyou also followed her gaze. When she saw the glowing Qingluan jade pendant, she was stunned, then blinked suddenly, becoming more and more curious, and pointed with her little hand, "Queen, what is this?" ?”

Song Qinghuan took the Qingluan jade pendant off her neck and handed it to Youyou, "This is the empress's jade pendant."

"Jade pendant?" Youyou became more and more curious, and stretched out her small hand to take it.Unexpectedly, as soon as the Qingluan jade pendant fell into Youyou's hands, the strange luster became more and more obvious, and even Youyou's fingertips seemed to emit colorful lights.

At this time, Song Qinghuan felt the spiritual power in his body start to move!
