Chapter 195: Emotional entanglement

In the evening, Xiao Chen sent Yan Zi An to Diaochan's bedroom and brought Diaochan to the Imperial Study.
The Imperial Study Room was about a few miles away from Diao Chan's bedroom, the Queen's Palace.
Diao Chan did not bring any court ladies, but went to the Imperial Study Room alone under the guidance of Yan Zi'an.
But her arrival caused quite a stir.
Although Diao Chan has lived in the palace for some time, she rarely shows up because of her character, so not many people in the palace know her.
All the maids and eunuchs in the palace knew that the new emperor was less than seventeen years old, and there was no concubine in the harem.
Nowadays, a person who looks like a fairy comes to Xiao Chen, and it will inevitably make them think more.
In the boring palace, gossip has become their only pleasure.
"Do you think that the woman that Grandpa Yan is carrying is our future queen?"
"It is very likely. I see that the fairy entered the imperial study, but General Li Yuanba did not stop him."
"The guards just let them go, and they entered the Imperial Study Room without even checking. Besides your Majesty's beloved woman, who else has this privilege?"
"Wow, this woman is so happy, she can be so spoiled by your majesty. If one day your majesty treats me this way, I will be willing to die for ten years."
"Fuck, just your flower-like face, still want to be favored by your majesty?"
The moment Diao Chan stepped into the Imperial Study Room, she heard the palace lady talking, her pretty face blushed slightly, but she didn't say anything, and went straight into the Imperial Study Room.
In the imperial study room, Xiao Chen is discussing state affairs with Di Renjie and Jia Xu.
Seeing this scene, Diao Chan was slightly startled.
Then she turned around to leave first, but was stopped by Xiao Chen.
"Diao Chan, the matter here will be handled soon, just wait here for a while!"
Hearing the words, Diao Chan stopped, then found a seat and sat down quietly.
Jia Xu and Di Renjie looked at each other, and they didn't agree with women listening to political affairs.
But they also knew about the special relationship between Diao Chan and Xiao Chen, so they didn't want to say much, but instead reverted the topic to government affairs.
"Your Majesty, the Black Ice Platform originated from the intelligence organization in the hands of Shangguan Qingmeng, so we'd better adapt it as soon as possible, so as not to leave Lingyun Trading Company in it!" Jia Xu suggested.
Heibingtai's position in the court is extremely important. It can be said that it is the eyes and ears of the emperor. If it cannot be fully controlled, it will become the most powerful tool for Lingyun's business.
Xiao Chen nodded, and said, "Tell Wang Yue and ask him to step up his censorship of the members of the Black Ice Platform. He can't be kicked out with absolute trust."
"In addition, let Wang Yue select a group of shrewd sergeants from the army to fill the black ice platform, disrupting the original organization of the black ice platform."
For Shangguan Qingmeng, Xiao Chen also maintained sufficient vigilance against her, the two sides were more of a cooperative relationship.
The shrewdness of this woman made Xiao Chen feel terrified, so how could he trust her?
Next, Di Renjie and Jia Xu gave a detailed report on the construction of the army to Xiao Chen.
The last two told him the time for the enthronement ceremony negotiated by the Ministry of Rites, just seven days later.
"Wen He, after leaving the palace, tell the guard at the palace gate that several people will come to me these days, so that they can't stop them and let them go."
The others, Xiao Chen, were not worried, but Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xun Yu had only martial arts masters. Judging from the strength of the guard at the current palace, they would not be able to enter without Xiao Chen's permission.
After Jia Xu and the other two left, Xiao Chen stretched his waist and walked to Diao Chan who was sitting on the chair. He smiled and said, "Let you wait a long time."
Diao Chan stood up, shook his head and said, "No, it is important for your Majesty to deal with state affairs."
Xiao Chen didn't say much, and gently lifted Diao Chan's jade hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to Xiaohuang Mountain together."
Diao Chan was startled slightly, as if she was not used to Xiao Chen's movements. She struggled lightly, but did not break free from Xiao Chen's hand, so she had no choice but to give up.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The relationship between him and Diao Chan has always been strange. He likes Diao Chan, and he has expressed it more than once, but Diao Chan has never responded positively.
Diao Chan also had that kind of emotionless personality. Xiao Chen couldn't see her thoughts at all. In desperation, he could only take the initiative.
Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the future is still very clear.
Holding Diao Chan's hand in this way, the two came outside the Imperial Study Room.
The eunuchs and palace ladies who saw this scene were more convinced of their previous guesses, and one by one glanced at both Xiao Chen with ambiguous eyes.
This time Diao Chan was even more shy. Just about to forcibly pull out his jade hand, Xiao Chen coughed slightly. The eunuchs and palace ladies rushed away in an instant, leaving only Li Yuanba, an incomprehensible fellow.
Li Yuanba had always been Xiao Chen's personal guard, and he was basically where Xiao Chen was.
"Ahem, Yuanba, you don't need to follow today, I will go around with Diao Chan, you go back first!"
Seeing Li Yuanba standing silly on the spot, Xiao Chen couldn't help taking the initiative to drive people away.
However, Li Yuanba didn't seem to understand Xiao Chen's meaning, and asked in a daze: "Your Majesty, if I leave, what should you do if you are in danger?"
Xiao Chen was anxious and said angrily: "Don't worry, I just go to Xiaohuang Mountain. With your strength, even if I really encounter some danger, can't you make it right away?"
Li Yuanba scratched his head, feeling that what Xiao Chen said was reasonable, and left.
Diao Chan watched Li Yuanba leave and chuckled softly: "Yuanba is very loyal. If your Majesty drives him like this, isn't he afraid of hurting his heart?"
Xiao Chen said helplessly: "What does it mean to break his heart? It sounds like a young couple quarreling. Yuanba is a sincere person and doesn't have that much trouble."
Diao Chan shook her head and smiled: "Your Majesty, you can let go now!"
If it was before, Xiao Chen would definitely release his hand after Diao Chan finished speaking, but this time, instead of releasing it, he held it tighter instead.
He turned his head and stared at Diao Chan's eyes, and said affectionately, "I won't let go. Not only will I not let go now, but I will hold it for a lifetime. You can't escape!"
The moonlight was a little dim, but Diao Chan's eyes looked extremely bright, she looked directly at Xiao Chen's eyes.
At this moment, the distance between them was less than twenty centimeters, and they could even feel each other's breathing.
For a long time, Diao Chan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Great Zhou, how can you hold a woman's hand forever!"
Xiao Chen was somewhat silent on this question.
Just like Diao Chan said, he is destined to have only one woman in his life.
Even if he had this intention, the courtiers would continue to talk to him.
If the emperor has only one woman, how can he ensure the continuation of the royal blood?
Diao Chan took the advantage of Xiao Chen's daze, took out the jade hand that was held, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, we all need to calm down."
