Ganqing Palace, Chunhunting Pavilion.

Chen Sheng carried Xiaoyanzi to the bed, straightened his waist and rubbed his sore arms, and said to the eunuchs and palace maids in the warm cabinet: "You retreat first, Li Yu, you are guarding at the door, and no one is allowed to get close."

After everyone else left, only Chen Sheng and three girls were left in the warm cabinet. Before Ziwei could ask, Chen Sheng said directly: "I am not Qianlong, Qianlong is dead."

"How is it possible? No, no." Ziwei shook her body and said unwillingly.

Jinsuo hurried forward to support her and said, "Miss, Miss, are you okay?"

"Ziwei, I know this person. He is not the emperor, but a tailor. I told you when I was telling a joke. He is the stupid thief who climbed over the wall with a ladder." Xiaoyanzi proved on the side, and then said to Chen Sheng: "Hurry up, hurry up, how did you become the emperor? How did the original emperor die?"

"I don't know how he died specifically." Chen Sheng shook his head and said, "But according to my speculation, it should have been killed by Heshen."

"The corrupt official Heshen used to be aware of his greed for money, but he didn't expect that he was so bad that he even dared to kill the emperor." Xiaoyanzi said angrily.

"Emperor... Zhou... Zhou..." Ziwei was speechless and didn't know what to call Chen Sheng.

"Call me Tailor Zhou or Brother Zhou, or call me Zhou Qingshu directly." Chen Shengdao seems to have three options, but in fact he can only choose one.

"Zhou...How did Brother Zhou speculate?" Ziwei asked.

"This matter starts a month ago, that is, the day Xiaoyanzi makes a big fuss on the wedding banquet in Liang Mansion." As he said that, Chen Sheng looked at Xiaoyanzi and said, "Do you think the wedding banquet is going smoothly and you escape without much effort?"

"That's because I am good at light skills. How can I trap me in the Liang Mansion?" Xiaoyanzi said shamelessly.

"Tsk, it depends on what makes you proud. If I hadn't started to make trouble in the front yard and led all the servants away, you would have been caught long ago." Chen Sheng curled his lips.

"You went that day too?" Xiaoyanzi said in surprise.

"Of course, we have acquaintances at least, and they are all for helping Miss Zhao escape from the sea of ​​suffering. How could I let you take risks alone?" Chen Sheng said righteously.

"It's so loyal. I'm sure you are a friend, Xiaoyanzi." Xiaoyanzi patted her chest and said.

"Brother Zhou, Ziwei is anxious, please tell me a long story." Ziwei bowed.

"Yes, stupid thief, please hurry up and say, what does the matter in the Liang Mansion have to do with the emperor?" Xiaoyanzi also said.

Chen Sheng also wanted to say hurry up. Isn’t this not going to be fast? The story needs to be edited immediately, and it must be reasonable and able to withstand scrutiny. It is not that easy.

It would be easy if Xiaoyanzi was the only silly girl. She could just make up a story that was full of mistakes and misses.

But Ziwei is a normal person, and it is related to the cause of her father's death. It is not that easy to deceive, so Chen Sheng has to spend more time.

"Don't worry, I'll be talking about it right away." Chen Sheng sorted out his thoughts and continued, "You know that I don't know how to slight skills. Not long after you escaped, I was caught by the people of the Liang Mansion."

"Ah! Why are you so stupid? Have you been beaten?" Xiaoyanzi said worriedly.

"Little Swallow, don't interrupt." Ziwei was afraid that the two of them would start chatting again, so she said, "Brother Zhou, please continue."

"Of course not, am I fine now?" Chen Sheng blinked at Xiaoyanzi, made a face, and then said seriously:

"It's not because I was beaten that the Liang family was kind-hearted. It was because Heshen saw that I looked like Qianlong, so he specially protected me and brought me back to Hefu. After arriving in Hefu, I was under house arrest. Every day, I had to practice walking, sitting and lying postures according to Heshen's requirements, and always pay attention to correcting the tone and tone of speaking."

"He is here..." Ziwei couldn't help but whisper.

"It's what you think." Chen Sheng nodded and continued, "Half a month later, I was secretly taken into the palace by Heshen and became emperor directly. I have been treated so far, and there has been no news about Qianlong during this period."

"It would be too arbitrary to think that the emperor is dead based on these alone. It's just that there is no news. Perhaps the emperor has just visited privately and understood the people's sentiments. This has happened before." Ziwei breathed a sigh of relief and rekindled hope in her heart.

"Of course it's more than that." Chen Sheng shook his head and said, "The most obvious thing is that I haven't slept alone for half a month. I have concubines in the harem who sleep at bedtime every night. I think you should understand the meaning."

"This..." Ziwei's hope was extinguished in an instant, and she was almost overwhelmed. She was supported by the golden lock and could barely stand.

"Ziwei, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoyanzi said with concern. Seeing that Ziwei couldn't speak for a moment, she turned to ask Chen Sheng and said, "Silly thief, what does it mean to serve the bed? Why is Ziwei so sad?"

"Sleeping together means sleeping together." Chen Sheng explained.

"What's wrong with sleeping? Can the fake emperor sleep? " Xiaoyanzi still didn't understand and asked afterwards.

Chen Sheng was amused and said to you when your injury heals, I will let you know what is going on when you sleep.

"Little Swallow, stop asking, I'm fine." Ziwei recovered a little, and didn't want the two of them to continue discussing this topic. She quickly interrupted, and then asked Chen Sheng with the last glimmer of hope, "Sir, do you have other basis?"

"Yes." Chen Sheng nodded and said, "I have been in the palace for a long time and have never seen the queen or the queen. Later, through indirect attacks, I learned from the close servant that from the first day I entered the palace, the queen and the queen mother were under house arrest. They were not allowed to go out for a long time, nor were they allowed to go to the palace to pay homage. The imprisonment of the wife and the legitimate mother, it is said that the throne will be unstable, and no emperor would do such a thing."

Hearing this, Ziwei's last hope was shattered, and she accepted the fact that her biological father died, and calmed down in her heart and said, "These two things happened in the palace. Since Heshen was unjust, he would not just act in the palace. I wonder what the situation was in the court?"

"Oh, the court has been in chaos recently, and you must have heard of it. I have done a lot of ridiculous things recently, all of which were Heshen in secret." Chen Sheng sighed and said sadly:

"The common people all say that the emperor is stupid, but they don't know the truth behind this stupidity. The officials are rated by their daughter's appearance, but the promoted ones are all Heshen's confidants. They refuse to save the disaster in Shandong, just because Heshen wants to investigate and deal with Shandong officials, eradicate dissidents, and replace them with his people. If this continues, when all the civil and military officials in the court and all local officials are replaced by Heshen's followers, that is when he plans to usurp the throne, and it is also the day when I, Zhou Qingshu, dies."

"Ah, it's so dangerous, why don't you run away quickly?" Xiaoyanzi exclaimed, and then denied himself: "No, no, you can't do it. The walls of the palace are too high and your ladder is not long enough to escape."

"Heshen's eyeliner is everywhere in the palace. Even if the ladder is long enough, I will not have a chance to escape." Chen Sheng shook his head and then said with great pride:
