The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Three feet of white silk, poisoned wine, and a dagger."

"It's him! It's actually him."

Emperor Qing instantly thought of Zhou Chen. These three items had appeared at the empress dowager's bedside before, and now they appeared again, but not at the bedside, but on the empress dowager's body.

It goes without saying that this must be Zhou Chen's masterpiece.

"It's not him. There are people of his in the palace."

Emperor Qing knew very well that Zhou Chen's injuries were too severe and it was impossible for him to recover in just a few days. If it were Zhou Chen, it would be impossible for him to just kill the Queen Mother.

The person who did all this must be someone inside the palace, a spy that Zhou Chen had planted in the palace a long time ago.

"All the eunuchs and maids in the Queen Mother's bedroom will be tortured severely. I want to know who it is."

The Queen Mother had died at the hands of an assassin. The news soon spread beyond the Imperial Palace and caused a sensation in Kyoto.

Considering what happened a few days ago, it is not difficult to guess that the people who attacked the Queen Mother were most likely members of the Duke of Zhenguo's faction. However, no one expected that the Duke of Zhenguo would have such means.

In the Inspection Institute, Emperor Qing did not ask Chen Pingping to investigate the death of the Empress Dowager.

Chen Pingping read the note in his hand and burned it.

"We all underestimated the Duke of Zhenguo. In addition to his own strength, he is also good in other aspects. I thought there might be a follow-up, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly and so cruelly. He actually killed the Queen Mother in the heavily guarded Queen Mother's bedroom."

"Hong Sixiang still hasn't appeared. It seems that my guess was correct. Hong Sixiang should have participated in the siege of Zhou Chen, but it seems that he has been killed. Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have died so easily. Shadow, do you think there is a possibility that Zhou Chen is still alive?"

Shadow said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. If he is really still alive, then I owe you a big favor."

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Your Majesty has begun to doubt me. We should not do anything these days. I have already made arrangements for Chen Yuan."

No one would have thought that the Northern Qi Princess Zhan Pianpian, who had been sought for, was hiding in Chen Garden outside the capital.

Xinyang!

When Princess Li Yunrui received the news that the Queen Mother had been stabbed to death, she was so happy that she drank two pots of wine in an instant.

"Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, you really didn't disappoint me at all. Even in this situation, you can still do such an earth-shattering thing. But compared to this, I want to know more, are you really dead?"

Emperor Qing joined forces with Ye Liuyun to surround and kill Zhou Chen in Kyoto on the day of Zhou Chen's wedding. She really did not receive any news about this matter, otherwise, she would definitely send someone to inform Zhou Chen. After all, she and Zhou Chen could be considered allies to some extent.

If Zhou Chen was gone, it would be even more difficult to deal with Emperor Qing.

Northern Qi was also not at peace at this time, because they also received the news quickly and also received a threatening letter from Emperor Qing of the Qing Kingdom.

The content of the letter was very absurd, pointing out that Northern Qi had joined forces with Zhou Chen to assassinate Emperor Qing, and demanding that Northern Qi cede territory and pay compensation. If Northern Qi did not agree, the Qing army would march north soon.

This incident caused a huge uproar in the Northern Qi court. Originally, the marriage between the Northern Qi princess and the Nanqing Duke Zhou Chen was a good thing for Northern Qi, but who would have thought that it would turn into a disaster in the blink of an eye.

All the ministers and officials were worried, but in the court, the Northern Qi Emperor Zhan Doudou was stronger than ever. He said that Emperor Qing was framing the emperor and that Great Qi would never surrender.

And he asked Emperor Qing to hand over the eldest princess Zhan Pianpian and the prince consort of Da Qi Zhou Chen. Otherwise, even if Nan Qing did not declare war, Bei Qi would declare war on Nan Qing.

Zhan Doudou, who always appeared cowardly, suddenly became so strong that all the officials of Northern Qi were very surprised, but soon they were excited and said that Great Qi would never surrender to Qing State and would fight if they wanted to...

Northern Qi Imperial Palace, Harem.

Si Lili has been pregnant for more than five months and her belly is already bulging. As a pregnant woman, she should not be in a bad mood, but now, she is feeling depressed and uncomfortable.

After the news of "Zhou Chen's death" reached Northern Qi, she has not slept well and has been crying secretly all day long. However, for the sake of the child in her belly, she has to force herself not to do so, which has made her mental state very bad in the past few days.

Just as she was stroking her belly and murmuring to her child, Haitang Duoduo and Zhan Doudou suddenly walked in.

"Lili, don't be sad yet. Zhou Chen sent a message. He is not dead."

Haitang Duoduo walked quickly to Si Lili and spoke to her with some excitement.

Si Lili stood up excitedly: "Duoduo, you didn't lie to me, Zhou Chen is really not dead?"

Chapter 1476 The happy women recovered from their injuries

Even the capital of Northern Qi, thousands of miles away, was paying attention to the wedding of Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian.

But since a few days ago, after learning what happened on the wedding day of Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian, everyone in Northern Qi was shocked, especially the women like Si Lili who had a very good relationship with Zhou Chen. They found it even more difficult to accept and were unwilling to believe that such a thing had actually happened.

Not only Si Lili had a bad time these days, Zhan Doudou and Haitang Duoduo also had trouble sleeping, and they woke up sadly in the middle of the night.

A big part of the reason why Zhan Doudou spoke so strongly in the court was because of Zhou Chen’s accident.

Even though she had never thought of staying together with Zhou Chen and becoming a loving couple, Zhou Chen was her only man after all and the father of her future child. She absolutely could not accept that Emperor Qing's conspiracy had harmed Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian.

Revenge through national war is extremely irrational, but she can't care about so much this time. She must fight back strongly, otherwise Emperor Qing will really think that he can control Da Qi at will.

She had made all the preparations, but unexpectedly, Zhou Chen, who was supposed to be "dead", came back to life and sent them a message asking them to go to the border to pick someone up.

"Zhou Chen sent me a message saying that he was seriously injured and needed time to recover, but he was worried about his people, so he asked me to go to the border to pick them up."

After hearing what Haitang Duoduo said, Si Lili breathed a sigh of relief. After days of worry, she finally relaxed.

"I'm glad he's okay. What about the princess?"

Haitang Duoduo said: "The princess is fine, but the situation is special, so she didn't come with Zhou Chen and the others this time."

Zhan Doudou said: "I have prepared to let the little nun take people to the border to pick up Zhou Chen."

Si Lili naturally wouldn't say anything. For her, knowing that Zhou Chen was still alive was already great news. As for the rest, it was no longer important to her.

Haitang Duoduo quickly led people to the border of Northern Qi to prepare to welcome Zhou Chen's arrival.

It was good news to them that Zhou Chen was not dead. Si Lili and Haitang Duoduo were more happy that Zhou Chen was okay, but Zhan Doudou was even happier.

Because Emperor Qing's action was equivalent to cutting off Zhou Chen's retreat. Zhou Chen would no longer be able to stay in Qing Kingdom, so he could only come to Qi Kingdom.

So when she found out that Zhou Chen was still alive, she wanted to laugh out loud. She tried every possible way to bring Zhou Chen to their Da Qi, even sending a woman to bear a child, but Zhou Chen still did not come to Da Qi.

Now, Emperor Qing took the initiative to push Zhou Chen to the side of Da Qi. How could she not be happy?

…………

A few days later, at the border between Qing and Qi.

Zhou Chen brought Sang Wen and Sun Yi to meet Haitang Duoduo who came to greet them from Shangjing City.

Haitang Duoduo thought Zhou Chen brought a lot of people, but was very surprised to see that Zhou Chen only brought Sun Yi and Sang Wen.

However, when she saw that Sang Wen was very close to Zhou Chen, her expression suddenly tensed up, but soon returned to normal.

"You won't go to Beijing with me?"

Haitang Duoduo became anxious when she heard that Zhou Chen only asked her to take Sun Yi and Sang Wen with her and he would not go himself.

Zhou Chen said: "Well, I was seriously injured and need to go somewhere to recuperate. Otherwise, it may become more troublesome over time. Everything will be discussed after I recover."

"Come with me to the capital, I can ask my master to heal you. His Tianyi Dao Mentality is very suitable for healing and will definitely help you recover."

Zhou Chen just shook his head slightly and said, "No need. I am a very cautious person sometimes. I can trust you, but I don't trust your master at all. As for healing, I can do it myself. I don't need his help."

Although he had explained things to Ku He several times, his relationship with Ku He was not a good one. Even if he went to the capital and everything was good for Northern Qi and Ku He had no reason to harm him, he still did not trust Ku He and was unwilling to put his fate in the hands of Ku He.

Besides, the nuclear radiation in Shangjing City is not as good as that in Dadong Mountain. For him, the healing effect is not as good as that in Dadong Mountain.

Haitang Duoduo looked helpless, she could also understand Zhou Chen's concerns.

"Is your injury serious? What did you go through during the battle in Qing Kingdom's capital?"

"Nothing, just being besieged by the three great masters."

"Three Grand Masters? And Si Gu Jian?"

Haitang Duoduo only knew that Emperor Qing took action against Zhou Chen, but she had no idea of ​​the specific circumstances, as Emperor Qing had sealed it off very well.

Now hearing that Zhou Chen was actually besieged by three grand masters, it was really shocking. What was even more shocking was that Zhou Chen could actually survive under the siege of the three grand masters.

"It wasn't Si Gu Jian, it was the temple messenger. I underestimated Emperor Qing. This loss is not unjust. People always have to pay the price for their arrogance."

Zhou Chen would not deny his own problems. Having reached the Grand Master realm and possessing unprecedented strength, coupled with his understanding of the plot and trends of this world, it is inevitable that he would be a little overconfident, or even relaxed.

In addition, he also focuses on opening cards, which gives him a high tolerance for errors.

Due to various reasons, he did not expect that Emperor Qing would kill him at this moment, which led to his great loss.

Needless to say, this matter was his own problem.

"Temple messenger?"

Haitang Duoduo was surprised: "The temple envoy has the fighting power of a grandmaster? Can the emperor of Qing command the temple envoy?"

Zhou Chen said: "It's not that he was in command, but it should be that they reached some kind of cooperation."

After they talked for a while, Zhou Chen prepared to say goodbye to Haitang Duoduo and the others. As for Sang Wen and Sun Yi, he had already explained everything to them long ago, so there was no need to explain more.

Sang Wen and Sun Yi both joined the Northern Qi team. Haitang Duoduo walked Zhou Chen for a distance. Just as Zhou Chen turned to leave, Haitang Duoduo suddenly called him.

"Hey."

Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at Haitang Duoduo in confusion.

Haitang Duoduo walked up to him, hesitated for a moment, suddenly opened her arms, hugged Zhou Chen, and then without waiting for Zhou Chen's reaction, she retreated like lightning.

"Don't think too much about it. I don't mean anything else. I just think it's great that you're alive."

Zhou Chen smiled, then walked up to Haitang Duoduo and hugged her in her astonished eyes.

"They say bad people live a thousand years. I'm worse than bad people, so I will definitely live more than a thousand years. You don't have to worry about whether I will die or not. I won't die."

"gone."

Letting go of Haitang Duoduo, Zhou Chen quickly floated away and disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye.

Haitang Duoduo stared at that direction in a daze: "I told him not to think too much, but he insisted on bringing her back. He really doesn't want to suffer any loss at all."

As she said this, she couldn't help laughing out loud, then turned around and jumped to meet up with the others.

Accepting Zhou Chen's request, she naturally had to bring Sang Wen and Sun Yi to Shangjing City safely.

Zhou Chen said goodbye to Haitang Duoduo and went straight to Dadong Mountain. Although more than two years had passed, he was still very familiar with this place. After arriving at Dadong Mountain, he soon found the cave where he had been in seclusion in the past.

After a simple tidying up, he began to retreat in the cave to heal his wounds.

During those days when he was sending Sang Wen and the others away, he never showed any signs of injury. Although he looked normal on the surface, his injury this time was actually very serious, internal injury.

Fortunately, he is very experienced in healing. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as he is not dead, he has the confidence that he can recover slowly.

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Because of the events on the wedding day of Zhou Chen and the eldest princess of Northern Qi, Nanqing and Northern Qi started a confrontation and there were several frictions on the border, but both sides just shouted slogans loudly and at most small troops clashed a few times, and a war between the two countries did not really start.

The Northern Qi did not want to fight because they were still recuperating after their last defeat and did not want to start another war at this time.

The reason why Emperor Qing of Southern Qing did not make up his mind to start a national war was because there had been some instability within Qing Kingdom recently.

The spring imperial examination was in turmoil again, triggering a series of major events. Even Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, the most powerful minister in Qing State, was forced to resign and return home.

Emperor Qing had not attended the morning court for a long time, and the news that his left eye was damaged and he became a one-eyed dragon spread.

Although being blind in one eye would not pose any obstacle to Emperor Qing's rule, the fact that the emperor has become a one-eyed man would still have some impact. Emperor Qing was unwilling to attend the court in the morning because he did not want his ministers to see his miserable side.

In Kyoto, major events occurred one after another during this year, and the internal situation was no longer as solid as before. Therefore, in order to stabilize the court and consolidate power, Emperor Qing had no time to think twice before starting a national war again.

Although his power was further strengthened after Lin Ruofu was eliminated, Emperor Qing had been in a bad mood for more than two months.

Because such a long time has passed, he still has no news of Zhou Chen, neither alive nor dead.

He felt that Zhou Chen should be dead, but he couldn't let it go.

Because of this matter, Ye Liuyun has never left Kyoto to travel. They all believed that if Zhou Chen was not dead, he would definitely return to Kyoto for revenge. If Zhou Chen came to them one by one, the risk would be too great. They would feel safer if they stayed together.

In the bustling capital, after the Spring Examination, another big event is about to take place, that is the wedding of the "Poetry God" Fan Xian and Princess Lin Wan'er, which will be held soon.

It’s just that the wedding of Fan Xian and Lin Wan’er this time made many people involuntarily think of the wedding day of Zhou Chen and the eldest princess of Northern Qi.

The same attention, the same noble status, but the last time ended in tragedy, what will happen this time?

In order to send something to her daughter, Princess Li Yunrui, who had been driven out of Kyoto for a long time, could not bear the loneliness, so she seized this opportunity and went all the way back to Kyoto without any complaints.

However, this time, the wedding of Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er was not too grand, and the result was very good, and the wedding was completed smoothly.

…………

Summer passes and autumn comes.

In the gloomy cave, Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes. His bright eyes appeared exceptionally clear in the darkness.

In more than three months, not only did he recover from his injuries, but he also made slight progress.

When one reaches the realm of Grand Master, even a small step forward is a huge improvement.
