"this……"

Zhao Cuo felt that King Huainan's performance today was seen by the female devil. Even if he didn't rebel, he would definitely be punished afterwards, so it didn't matter if he agreed to what he said.

However, he still hesitated when he thought that Empress Dowager Zhao was sitting not far behind him.

The mother of Dayu was very jealous.

"Is my nephew Wujiu dissatisfied with my little daughter?"

King Huainan frowned when he saw his hesitation.

"Your Highness, the country is beautiful and fragrant."

Young Master Zhao spoke few truths today, but none of the words he praised Princess Anle for her appearance were false. No one could deny her impeccable manners.

Those beautiful emerald green eyes are enough to make people fascinated and unable to control themselves.

Not to mention her youthful and charming figure, which is as green and charming as a flower blooming.

"Then what does blameless mean?"

King Huainan said with a worried expression.

"My family's Anle is regarded as a goddess by the subjects of the Huainan Kingdom. I don't know how many young talents have asked for it, but you are not willing?"

"It's not that I don't want to marry Your Highness the Princess, it's just that my marriage has to be decided by the Queen Mother, so I can't make my own decision."

He bowed his hands in embarrassment.

"It's okay if you don't have any dissatisfaction with my little girl."

King Huainan nodded as if relieved.

"After congratulating the king on his birthday, Wansheng will return to the empress' residence in Jiangnan Mansion and ask her to marry him."

Zhao Cuo said deliberately to make him relax his vigilance.

"Well……"

When the King of Huainan heard this, he pondered and put down the bronze wine bottle in his hand.

"Actually, there is an extremely distinguished guest coming to this king's birthday party. When the time comes, I can ask him to make the decision on your marriage to An Le. Do you think this is a good idea, my dear nephew?"

"Dignified guest?"

Zhao Cuo was stunned for a moment.

"Can the person the prince mentioned be more noble than the empress?"

"The Queen Mother of the current dynasty is the direct mother of the Emperor, so she is naturally very noble in the world, but the distinguished guests who will come to me on my birthday are also very noble."

The King of Huainan seemed to be deliberately trying to hide his identity and never revealed the person's specific identity, which was suspected of being mysterious.

'The King of Huainan is already a prince, so the only person he wants to call a distinguished guest is the Nine-Five Supreme Being who rules the world, right?'

Young Master Zhao was a little confused. He felt that first of all, he could rule out the possibility that this distinguished guest from Huainan was Emperor Yongzhao. A powerless puppet was nothing.

So who else could be the distinguished guest highly respected by the King of Huainan?

Could it be one of the seven vassal kings headed by King Yan?

"It's getting late, Wujiu, you've been through a stormy journey, so I won't keep you any longer."

After the banquet came to an end, King Huainan, who was already slightly tipsy, waved his hand and said.

"I have ordered someone to arrange a residence for you not far from the palace. I will ask the guards to escort you there. Nephew Wujiu can rest early."

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Zhao Cuo was relieved when he heard this.

"Master, please come this way."

After saluting, he turned around and left with the soldiers who had already stepped forward. He got on the carriage and left the Huainan King's Palace, and moved into a mansion not far from the palace gate.

"The King of Huainan really has a disobedient heart!"

As soon as the Queen Mother entered the room, she took off her curtain hat, revealing her cold little face.

"What are you going to do now?"

Zhao Cuo asked softly.

"Do it."

The Queen Mother is still calm and composed.

"I am returning to the south of the Yangtze River to mobilize troops to attack the Huainan Kingdom. The best way is to mobilize the troops stationed here to directly control the palace and replace the king of Huainan."

"Didn't the empress say that Xue Sixun, the commander-in-chief stationed in Huainan Kingdom, might be incited to rebel?"

"There are still people available."

Zhao Qinglan thought.

"Wu Chongxing, the adjutant of the garrison, was promoted by this palace. I will give you a decree to let him seize the military power."

“When do we act?”

Zhao Cuo felt that the situation had changed too quickly.

"Don't be anxious about palace matters. I will go with you to attend the birthday banquet of King Huainan the day after tomorrow to meet the so-called distinguished guest."

"Um……"

he asked after thinking for a moment.

"Who do you think he could be?"

"Probably one of the seven kings. If the King of Huainan wants to turn against him, he must have some connection with the seven vassal kings. Qi State borders Huainan State, so he is most likely to be the King of Qi."

As she spoke, the female devil seemed to be a little uneasy and tapped the bedside table with her jade fingers.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Cuo saw what the bad woman seemed to be struggling with, so he took the initiative to hold her delicate hand and asked softly.

"I always feel like something is wrong..."

The Queen Mother broke away from his grasped hand, and then intertwined her fingers with it, as if this would make her feel a little more at ease.

"Don't worry about who the distinguished guest is. Don't we see him the day after tomorrow? The King of Huainan tried so hard to win me over, just because he thought I could bring the Zhao family to surrender, so there is no need to worry about him falling out with me for the time being."

"What you said makes sense."

Empress Dowager Zhao nodded her little head, her expression gradually returned to calm and calm, and she showed a gentle smile to the young man.

"No, let's take a rest early."

As she spoke, she opened her hands to Mr. Zhao.

'Are you still interested in playing at this critical moment?'

Zhao Cuo almost collapsed.

"Come on~"

She sat on the edge of the bed and waved with a smile.

"yes……"

Mr. Zhao had no choice but to admit defeat and surrender.

"Can you help me take off my shoes first?"

Although Empress Dowager Dayu used a discussion tone, she could not refuse.

Zhao Cuo actually had no resistance to her small request.

After responding, he squatted down in front of her.

"Do you want to take off your footwear?"

He took off the queen's cute embroidered shoes, and a pair of little jade-like feet wearing pure white stockings jumped out in front of him, with the round and round toes moving restlessly.

"If you like it so much, I'll give you this pair of socks, and the black silk that I haven't had time to wash, I'll give them all to you."

She said with a bright smile.

"Thank you, empress."

Zhao Cuo took a deep breath to calm down, then pulled off the white socks from her tender feet and stuffed them directly into the embroidered shoes.

"snort."

The Empress Dowager Zhao seemed to be dissatisfied with his lack of awe. She stretched out her delicate feet as white as fat and pinched Zhao Cuo's waist with her nimble toes.

"It's time to rest."

Zhao Cuo and the King of Huainan pretended to smile for a long time but were also a little exhausted. They fell down on the bed without any politeness and skillfully poured the warm and fragrant soft jade into their arms.

"How dare you be so presumptuous?"

The Queen Mother asked with a straight face.

"Aren't you spoiled by your Majesty?"

He said with a yawn.

"You will be punished for hugging me all night."

The female devil snorted softly.

"As commanded."

Zhao Cuo put his hands around her slender waist, closed his eyes for a moment of tenderness, and suddenly said softly:

"Your Majesty will leave me alone in Huainan Kingdom to handle the palace affairs, and return to Jiangnan to prepare for sending troops. Wouldn't it be better to be prepared in this way?"

"I don't want to take any chances with you."
