Lian Chengming looked at Liu Ruyan's playful look when he said that, and in her heart, she did not know why, but she was suddenly attracted to her, and what would happen in a draw? He was in no mood to answer her.

Caught off guard, Lian Chengming suddenly stood up and kissed Liu Ruyan.

The white piece Liu Ruyan had picked up fell on the chess board, messing up this game of chess, and also messing up the spring water in her heart.

The atmosphere around the two of them gradually became dubious, and Liu Ruyan didn't even know how to put her hands and feet down.

The entire room was extremely quiet, except for the incessant chirping of crickets outside the room.

Liu Ruyan didn't have a plan in her heart. Did she want to push him away, or did she want to hug him …

But while she was hesitating, Lian Chengming took the initiative to let her go.

Lian Chengming suddenly thought of something that he had not dealt with yet. Now was not the time to be involved in such matters.

What if they really didn't care about the difference?

As the emperor, he truly wasn't far from becoming a fainting monarch!

"Rest early tonight, and we'll play chess here. We'll continue next time."

Liu Ruyan felt that it was a little strange. She was clearly moved just now, how could she immediately restrain herself?

Only after Lian Chengming left did she finally remember that she had made a huge joke – talking about relationships with the Emperor!

It seemed like he had indeed been blinded by the illusion and had been somewhat confused. In the future, he had to understand more clearly what was true feelings, what was false intentions, what was cooperation, and what was acting.

However, Liu Ruyan did not keep thinking about these things. However, after figuring it out, she calmed herself down and had the Jane prepare some hot water to wash up.

"Have you found any valuable clues?"

Inside the secret room, Lian Chengming instructed the black clothed man who was kneeling on the ground.

This was the Private Guard he raised. Others didn't know, only listening to him.

"Your subordinate has been following the Lin University City in secret for the past few days. This subordinate once realized that Lin Grand Scholar had disguised himself to look for Qin Kangan. The two of them spoke for two hours.

As Lian Chengming listened to the Private Guard's report, his heart was already going through a hundred cycles.

Qin Kangan was the Regent King today, so he had always been ambitious towards the position of the Nine Five Supreme Elder.

He was already a big tree in the court, as to how many monkeys lived by his big tree, he did not know.

"Apart from that, are there any other discoveries?"

"Based on the information this subordinate has, I can infer that Grand Scholar Lin wants to cooperate with Qin Kangan. They didn't seem to be interfering with each other, but the truth was that they all had one goal in common, and that was the Emperor! One wants the position of Empress, while the other wants control over the entire imperial government. "

Private Guard shouldn't have analyzed it, they just needed to report the situation. However, he had been by the side of the emperor for so many years. In the end, all he did was put in effort to prepare for the emperor.

"I understand, you go down first." I'd like to be by myself for a while. "

"This subordinate will take his leave."

Right now, Lian Chengming was the only one left in the secret room. This was because of this complete silence that allowed him to think in peace.

Right now, the situation in the palace was more tense. Qin Kangan had a big tree and deep roots, towards his people, Lian Chengming could only confirm about two or three. This included the already demoted Supreme Court's Shaoqing.

However, he was certain that this number was only a small part, a very small part.

Grand Scholar Lin was also an old official of the dynasty, the Lin Family could be considered to be a peerless existence. In order to support Lin Jinxiu to become the successor, they had already formed their own faction and acquired a certain amount of power.

If they and Qin Kangan were to cooperate in any way right now, it would be a strong alliance. To an Emperor like him, it was all a hundred evils without any benefit.

"Your Majesty, this servant invites Your Majesty to return to the Imperial Study."

Eunuch Xu called out from outside. This was what they said previously, but if it was true, someone must have come to look for Lian Chengming.

Right now, this secret room was still a secret, so Lian Chengming had to hide something. He came out quickly.

"What is it?"

Eunuch Xu had served him for so many years, there must be a tacit understanding between them.

"Just now, the An beauty from Fanghua Garden sent a butterfly pastry over. She is still waiting outside the Imperial Study."

Although this secret room was set up on Imperial Study, there was still some distance to go before one could walk in from the back and rest. If the person outside didn't drag anyone and let Ann Miao'er in, they would have definitely discovered something.

But Ann Miao'er was very persistent, that was why the Eunuch Xu dared to disturb the Emperor.

"It's her again. Tell her that I'm very busy right now and have no free time to see her."

Eunuch Xu had already said these words. But Ann Miao'er was just waiting outside, saying that he would only send a plate of snacks, and wouldn't disturb the emperor.

"She is quite stubborn. Go and bring the snacks in, and she will send them away. She is not worth it for us to deal with. "

Eunuch Xu, after hearing Lian Chengming's words, naturally let go of this matter.

At first, he was a little courteous to Ann Miao'er, but that was because of Lian Chengming's attitude, and he was still not very clear about it. He was a master after all, so he had to respect him a bit. If not, he would not have been able to bear the blame of a great bully.

The higher one's position was, the more cautious one would be. The only reason the Eunuch Xu had his current identity and status was not because he was an older person than ten years old.

Ann Miao'er finally gave up. After all, the Emperor had already spoken. He had disliked her before, but now, it was better for her to be obedient.

Lian Chengming kept thinking that if Qin Kangan wanted to work with the Lin Family, he would be in a passive position and the entire dynasty would be in turmoil.

Rather than Lian Chengming being beaten up without moving, he had to take precautions. To think of a way to avoid it, it would be best if he could stop everything that was happening …

"What has the Empress been thinking? This servant called for the Empress two or three times without hearing an answer."

Jane found that Liu Ruyan was constantly in a daze. This was already the third time.

"Did you just call me?" Liu Ruyan realized later.

"Yeah!" "Jane was a little helpless, but she was more worried. Empress, is there something on your mind? Not just once, but I called you two or three times. "

"Nothing." Liu Ruyan didn't know what was going on with this heart of her, but she was constantly anxious, as if something big was about to happen.

"If the Empress has something on her mind, you don't have to worry about it alone. You can always speak to your servant." Even if I have to go through fire and water, this servant will not refuse. "

Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Silly girl."

"As long as you don't have to go through fire and water, you can set your mind at ease." Serve me well. You don't have to worry about anything else. "

Jane knew that Liu Ruyan was like this every time. She kept getting distracted. She had something on her mind, but he didn't want to tell her.

But this didn't matter. No matter what happened, she would always stay by the esteemed empress's side.

After that, it collapsed and was ready to go to bed, but he didn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep either.
