How many times has this happened today? Is their master really not going to use up his old waist?
Inside the room, Madam Li lowered her voice and teased, "Master Chen, how about..."
Chen Jikang was suddenly startled and waved his hands quickly, "No, no!"
He doesn't want to touch Li Changfeng's woman.
He is a bit lustful, but he usually wouldn't risk his life for a woman.
Madam Li then stopped smiling and said coldly, "Mr. Chen seems to have some ulterior motives. I advise you not to have any other thoughts. You should know that in this world, fence-sitters die the most miserably. They cannot rely on either side."
Chen Jikang stiffened his neck and said, "Nonsense, I was just thinking... my adopted son is different from ordinary people and has extraordinary talents."
"Oh? What kind of gifted talent is this?"
Chen Jikang thought about it seriously, "It seems, it seems that he can predict things that haven't happened yet."
Lady Li disagreed and said with a sweet smile, "Are you so capable?"
When Chen Jikang heard that she didn't believe him, he gave up the idea of explaining in detail. He said a few perfunctory words and asked the maid waiting outside to bring in the water.
As usual, the maids were not allowed to watch the aunt washing herself, so they went out.
Chen Jikang worked as a laborer, carrying a wooden bucket of water into the inner room.
Madam Li also followed in and helped the empress dowager wash her legs.
Chen Jikang smelled the foul odor and felt even more regretful. But when he thought of Madam Li's words, he had no choice but to sit outside in a daze.
At the Young Master's Mansion, after lunch, Shi Anxia took Cen Yuan's arm and walked slowly.
When passing by the lotus pond, Cen Yuan said nonchalantly, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. I guess they threw something in our lotus pond. What could it be?"
Shi Anxia was silent for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up, "I think I may know what it is. It seems that the Queen Mother wants to convict us of treason."
Cen Yuan loved to see the little girl keep things a secret, and couldn't help but ask in a flattering manner, "What is it?"
Shi Anxia was amused. "There is something that Lord Cen doesn't know? I think it should be the real imperial seal."
Cen Yuan didn't know this. "There are fake imperial seals? Are you saying that the imperial seal in Emperor Mingde's hand is fake?"
Shi Anxia shook his head. "It can't be considered false. It is said that during the reign of Emperor Chonghe of Beiyi, the emperor particularly liked to go on private visits. Once he traveled to a place called Yancheng and encountered an earthquake. At that time, they didn't know it was an earthquake. In a hurry, Emperor Chonghe threw the imperial seal to suppress the gods. As a result, it really stabilized, but the seal was also gone."
Cen Yuan laughed, "You believe this too?"
"Whether you believe it or not is secondary. Anyway, the imperial seal is gone. At that time, Emperor Chonghe had a new imperial seal made."
Cen Yuan understood, "Emperor Chonghe lost the jade seal himself, and then he was afraid that people would say something about him, so he asked someone to make up a legendary story."
Shi Anxia nodded, "Anyway, the new seal was passed down from generation to generation until it was passed to Emperor Zhaoguang. Then the original seal reappeared and was presented to Emperor Zhaoguang. So when the emperors succeeded to the throne, they basically inherited both seals."
"The new imperial seal is in the hands of Emperor Mingde, but the original imperial seal is in the hands of Empress Dowager Jiqing. That's why you must force the Empress Dowager to betray the country. Because only in this way can Emperor Mingde either take back the imperial seal with a legitimate reason, or pass down a new imperial seal without being criticized."
"This is just one of the reasons. The main reason is that I don't want the unofficial history to say that Emperor Mingde killed the Empress Dowager because of personal vengeance." Shi Anxia laughed, "Since it has been given to us, let this jade seal rest in our lotus pond for a while. The Empress Dowager always uses this kind of frame-up trick and never gets tired of it. Last time she gave us a statue of Guanyin, this time she gave us a jade seal, haha, next time she should give us a head..."
