Although Empress Dowager Lin put Qin Shu under house arrest, she did not dare to treat him unfairly after eating three meals a day. To put it bluntly, she wanted to put it in house arrest to make Chu Shaolin take a gamble and eventually surrender to her side, not to become enemies with Chu Shaolin.

"Princess." Angelica put a few meals one by one and tasted them carefully: "No problem."

"I know." Qin Shu came back to his senses and noticed Angelica's actions: "Empress Dowager Lin still needs us to help persuade the prince. He will not attack us. Sit down and have a meal. I really can't think of the solution for a while."

The Princess Zhenbei did not make a fuss on a hunger strike, and did not cry, but made a fuss and hanged. After hearing the news, Empress Dowager Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said with praise: "It is worthy of being the woman that King Zhenbei likes. You should have such a calm attitude when facing major events! How about it, the Ai family asked your sect to inform the people of King Zhenbei. Has it been sent out?"

"Please rest assured, Empress Dowager, everything goes well." The palace maid lowered her head and replied in a low voice, holding her hands on Empress Dowager Lin's shoulders.

Queen Mother Lin nodded with satisfaction: "We have taken the soft spot of King Zhenbei. It is only a matter of time to surrender. You must be careful about the emperor's people during this period. Never rescue Princess Zhenbei, do you know?"

"Yes!" All the people in Shoukun Palace bowed their heads and accepted the instructions of Empress Dowager Lin, but a few of them were sincere and a few were thinking about it, and only God knew it.

After Qin Shu and the master and servant of Danggui finished their meal, the palace maids came in and took away the things. They had not been restricted and could only stay in this place, they seemed to be here to visit.

"Princess, if I do my best, I should be able to hold down one or two people." Angelica said in a low voice. If those people hadn't had crossbow arrows in their hands, she wouldn't have taken a few eunuchs and palace maids seriously.

Qin Shu rubbed the bracelet on his wrist, which contained a fine needle for poisoning. If he was unprepared, he would be able to solve the person holding a crossbow arrow outside at one time. However, they did not know how many people there were outside Shoukun Palace, and the hidden weapon could only be used once, and it must be used when it was foolproof.

"The prince should have known the news." Now the only hope is on Chu Shaolin, hoping that he can find a solution as soon as possible: "Chenxi has never left me for so long, so why don't he cry?"

Chu Chenxi was indeed crying, the little guy had a good temper, Qin Shu had never returned to Princess Guan's place, but this was also limited. Seeing that she had not seen her mother for so long, tears began to roll in Xiao Baozi's beautiful eyes. After seeing her father appear, she was even out of control and she cried like she was about to twitch.

"Poor child." Guan looked at the child who was being held in a hurry by Chu Shaolin in his arms and sighed. It was only a little too old, wouldn't he just cry if he couldn't see his mother? It's already rare to be obedient this day.

"Your Majesty, the king of side by side has arrived." Just when Chu Shaolin was in pain by his son Moyin, Yang Tianfan finally got the news and rushed over.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the child's heart-wrenching cry, and Yang Tianfan felt even more dull: "What's going on? Why did I hear that Shu'er was detained by the Queen Mother?"

Chu Shaolin handed the child to the wet nurse and took it out to coax it, and sighed: "Tell it inside! Prince Cheng is waiting for you too."

The three princes secretly met at Prince Cheng's mansion, and their expressions on each other's faces were very bad.

"The servant couldn't explain clearly what was going on?" Yang Tianfan couldn't wait to say as soon as he sat down, "What happened? Queen Mother Lin has been quite at peace recently. How could he do such a thing?"

Chu Shaolin slapped the table with hatred: "I'm afraid it's because she acted too calm that we lost our vigilance and were actually suppressed by this old witch's attack!"

"The emperor has been weakening the strength of the empress dowager recently. I am afraid that the empress dowager is planning to jump over the wall." Prince Cheng was not polite at all. Even when he was talking about the empress dowager, he showed no mercy: "The empress dowager is unwilling to be suppressed by the emperor, but I am afraid that she wants to use the Princess Zhenbei to threaten you, hoping that the Zhenbei Army will become her support."

Whether it was the royalists or the Empress Dowager Party, they all lacked the support of the military. Now that Emperor Taixi has received Tian Renzhi's support on the surface, his confidence has increased and he has begun to suppress the Empress Dowager Party.

Isn’t Empress Dowager Lin just a desperate situation?

"The main thing now is not to discuss what Empress Dowager Lin wants to do, but to rescue Shu'er first." Yang Tianfan understood Empress Dowager Lin's character. This old woman was the most ruthless. An Ran's death was caused by her backer. It was rare that An Ran had such an adventure. God blessed her to live a new life and would never fall into the hands of Empress Dowager Lin again.

"You are right, but we don't know about Empress Dowager Lin's Shoukun Palace." Chu Shaolin then explained why he thought of Yang Tianfan: "You often go in and out of the palace and have a good relationship with the emperor. You should know the distribution of power in the palace, right?"

Prince Cheng heard something was wrong: "You are planning to break into the Forbidden Palace at night, right?"

"Is there anything wrong with it?" Chu Shaolin was very confident in his strength. Even if the masters of the big insider Ruyun were few who could compare with him. As long as Yang Tianfan cooperated well, he could avoid most of the power and rescue him successfully.

"No, the masters in the inner world are not afraid, but as far as I know, Empress Dowager Lin's Shoukun Palace secretly introduced a group of light crossbows some time ago. Even if you are a martial arts master, you will not end up being surrounded by crossbow arrows." Yang Tianfan flatly rejected this proposal, and the idea of ​​breaking into the Forbidden Palace at night was ruled out.

"This matter cannot be hidden from the emperor." Yang Tianfan thought about it for a while and made a decision: "The empress dowager's biggest opponent is actually the emperor. If the emperor knew that the empress dowager had taken Shu'er hostage and wanted to coerce the King of Zhenbei, he would do anything without us."

The enemy is friends, and at this level they can also cooperate with Emperor Taixi.

"But I think the emperor's greatest possibility is to eliminate the empress dowager's power and the King of Zhenbei." Prince Cheng poured cold water without hesitation. He saw clearly that they were just a despicable villain. Chu Shaolin was a thorn in his eyes. If he had the opportunity to eliminate it, he would definitely not be ruthless.

Chu Shaolin sneered: "Maybe in order to eradicate me, I will directly change my position and cooperate with Empress Dowager Lin temporarily, get rid of me first, and then the two of them will fight each other."

Yang Tianfan's fists were clenched tightly. Emperor Taixi's various actions, coupled with their former ambitions and efforts for them, were like a ruthless sharp knife that penetrated his heart deeply.

The emperor who has worked hard for so many years has become a foolish monarch in the end!

"Don't worry, since I have proposed this solution, I have my arrangements. The emperor will help rescue Shu'er. But in the future, if he wants to turn against him, we are not going to wait for the beating and not fighting back." Perhaps he should meet Tian Renzhi. He should indeed think about what Tian Renzhi said before.

Chu Shaolin and Prince Cheng exchanged meaningful eyes and nodded at the same time: "Since you have such confidence, it is naturally the best. Without further ado, let's start preparing now!"

Yang Tianfan nodded vigorously. There is no need to worry about Shoukun Palace. If anyone among them knows Shoukun Palace best, there is no doubt that the person is Qin Shu. An Ran had been serving the Queen Mother in Shoukun Palace for many years. She was familiar with every grass and tree there, and she still knew the secrets in the palace.

Queen Mother Lin didn't know this secret, and it was a very difficult thing to trap Qin Shu in Shoukun Palace.

"I went to the palace overnight. The sooner the matter was resolved, the better. If the emperor learned that the empress dowager had held the princess hostage, the king of Zhenbei might turn to the empress dowager, and he would definitely stand on our side." Yang Tianfan hurriedly stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he touched Chu Chenxi's little head who was tired of crying and asleep.

Even for the sake of the child, Qin Shu must come back safely! (To be continued)
