"What?" The emperor immediately shouted again, and then began to pace back and forth in the palace, muttering to himself, "Is it related to both the Taifu's Palace and the Regent's Palace?"

After the governor Zhang Shaofu heard the emperor's soliloquy, he immediately explained: "Actually, it has something to do with the family of Zhang Zhizhou, the father-in-law of the current dynasty.

Because most of these poisoned villagers were from Zhangjia Town, a suburb of the capital, and Wei Chen sent people to track down the poison that hurt people, but they disappeared near the Lanyuan Restaurant in Zhangjia Town, thus losing the clue. This Lanyuan

The restaurant is also the property of Zhang Zhizhou’s family..."

The following words are self-evident. If something happens at home, the master will not be able to escape his involvement.

"Then what's the deal with being related to the Prince Regent's Palace?" The emperor frowned and looked at Zhang Shaofu.

Zhang Shaofu then told the story of the bride being exchanged on the wedding day of the Prince Regent's Palace and the subsequent occurrence of strange situations in the palace, so the palace invited a master to exorcise ghosts and remove curses. Finally, he said: "Because this matter involves the Emperor.

The two ministers who are very humble know that they should not be underestimated, so they came here to ask the emperor for advice on what should be done."

Zhang Shaofu just buried his head in the report, and then wanted to wait for the emperor to give instructions, but he didn't hear the emperor speak, so he raised his head. This look didn't matter, and he was so frightened that his calves twisted.

I saw that the emperor's face was ashen, his eyes were wide open with anger, and he was staring at him viciously.

Zhang Shaofu didn't know what he said wrongly to make the emperor so angry. He said cautiously with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body...Wei, Weichen..."

The emperor clenched his right hand and punched the table hard, suppressing the anger in his heart and said: "I understand, you should go back and wait for the order first."

Although the governor Zhang Shaofu was so angry for some reason when he saw the emperor, at least the anger did not burn to him, so he immediately obeyed the order and left here.

As soon as Zhang Shaofu left the main hall, Eunuch Hao, the chief eunuch, came out with great eyes. He walked to the emperor and comforted him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It is important for Your Majesty to take care of your dragon body. We still don't know the reason for this. If Your Majesty gets angry because of this, he will be injured."

It’s not cost-effective to lose your own dragon body.”

After hearing what he said, the emperor's anger softened a little, and he turned to ask Eunuch Hao, "What do you think about this matter?"

Eunuch Hao smiled flatteringly and said flatteringly in his unique voice: "Go back to the Emperor, I think this is not all under the control of the Emperor? Although there is such a thing as a marriage exchange in the Regent's Palace, isn't it also a disturbance?

Will there be no peace with them?"

In fact, Eunuch Hao also understood that this matter was no longer going according to plan, but in order to temporarily calm the emperor's anger, he had to downplay the matter first.

The emperor knew very well whether the matter was under his control.

That's right, the biggest driving force behind the marriage between the Tutor's Palace and the Regent's Palace was the current emperor - Emperor Huo Tianyi of Daqi.

In all the dynasties, which full-fledged emperor would still like to have a regent by his side?

The regent who can turn his hands into clouds and rain can endanger the imperial power at any time.

Huo Weilou, the current regent, was a man of extraordinary power and extraordinary abilities. He was truly one person inferior to ten thousand people.

But even on the Huo Wei Tower, Emperor Daqi always regarded him as a thorn in his side, and always wanted to get rid of him quickly.

Emperor Daqi was not completely sure, so he planned to secretly eliminate this time bomb around him.

After much thought, Emperor Daqi put his plan on Lan Shiqing's head.

The Taifu family are the best friends of Emperor Daqi. However, they only appear to be noble on the surface, but in fact they are on the decline and are becoming increasingly depressed. They are just holding on to a facade.

Lan Shiqing's daughter, Lan Qingruo, is charming, intelligent and progressive, and is known as "one of the two most talented women in the capital". She has admired Huo Weilou very much since she was a child, which is well known throughout the capital.

Emperor Daqi called for Taifu Lan Shiqing to test his attitude towards Huo Weilou. Unexpectedly, Lan Shiqing shared his hatred and readily agreed to help the emperor.

After the two of them made some plans secretly, Lan Shiqing took the initiative to approach Huo Weilou, hoping to be a matchmaker for his daughter. However, despite repeated attempts, Huo Weilou ignored him.

At that time, Emperor Daqi was secretly anxious, but he was somewhat wary of Huo Weilou and was afraid that he would be suspicious, so he was not in a hurry to show up on the matter.

Later, for some reason, Huo Weilou's mother, the old princess, found out about this. The old princess seemed to value the Taifu's Mansion very much, and she was even more satisfied with Lan Qingruo. Although the old princess had a very distant relationship with Huo Weilou on weekdays, she actually

He also began to persuade Huo Weilou to agree to the marriage and kept increasing the pressure.

With the old princess's personal pressure, Emperor Daqi felt that it was time for him to appear as the Yuelao who facilitated a beautiful marriage.

In this way, with the initiative of the Taifu Palace, the pressure of the old princess, and the encouragement of Emperor Daqi, Huo Weilou finally accepted the marriage.

Next, Emperor Daqi just waited for the news from the Taifu Mansion and acted accordingly.

But, right now, is this news?

The more Emperor Daqi thought about it, the more irritated he became. It could even be said that he was furious.

Swap relatives?

He picked up a pile of memorials on the desk, threw them all over the floor, and shouted at Eunuch Hao, the chief eunuch: "Quickly tell Lan Shiqing to come see me in the palace!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Hao, the chief eunuch, immediately nodded and went to inform Lan Shiqing.

However, it is said that Grand Tutor Lan Shiqing has been as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and restless recently since his daughter Lan Qingruo married into the Regent's Palace.

Because Lan Qingruo did not send any news to the palace as planned, and he could not go to the Regent's Palace to inquire directly. After all, the man from Huo Weilou was not something he could afford to offend.

As long as Huo Weilou didn't take the initiative to make a low profile in front of Lan Shiqing, he would not dare to assume the airs of the so-called "regent and father-in-law".

What's more, what he and Emperor Daqi were planning was to get rid of Huo Weilou. If there was a wind, a blow, a move, a shock, and everything was lost, he would not be able to control the turmoil in the world, and his entire family would be in trouble.

It was over, so Lan Shiqing didn't dare to take any unauthorized action.

Before Lan Qingruo could hear the news from the Regent's Palace, today he waited for the news that Emperor Daqi had summoned him in the palace.

Lan Shiqing felt really uneasy.

Mrs. Lan was even more frightened and didn't know what to do. "What's the matter with the emperor's summons? Didn't you just go to court? Is there anything that hasn't been announced in the court just now?"

The attitude of the people coming from the palace was extremely bad, which was obviously not a good thing, so Lan Shiqing was also upset.

While changing his clothes, he lowered his voice and shouted angrily: "You ask me who should I ask? Since Qingruo's marriage, the emperor has never discussed other matters with me.

I don’t know what he was thinking, but he just wanted to make me understand that this is the only thing that is the most important thing at the moment. If this thing is not handled well, our Tai Tu Mansion will not be able to think of anything good."

After saying that, he helplessly asked Mrs. Lan with a glimmer of hope, "Hasn't there been any news from Qingruo?"

Mrs. Lan shook her head with a sad face and sighed deeply.

Because Eunuch Hao, the chief eunuch, urged him urgently, Taifu Lan Shiqing had no more chance to think. After changing his clothes, he hurriedly followed him into the palace.

"Lan Shiqing, a humble minister, comes to see the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

As soon as Lan Shiqing entered the palace, he didn't even dare to raise his head. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, then lowered his head and waited for the emperor's inquiry.

"Lan Shiqing, come and explain to me what's going on?" The emperor's voice was extremely cold and harsh.

Even the title changed from "Ai Qing" to his direct name. Lan Shiqing knew that being summoned this time was nothing good. He was so frightened that his voice trembled, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid. Wei Chen, Wei Chen."

Sir, I don’t know what the emperor is referring to? Please make it clear."

"Lan Shiqing, can I believe you when you say you don't know what's going on? Ah? Exchange of marriages!? It's a shame that your Tutor's house can think of such a thing!"

The emperor slapped the table so loudly that the teapot and teacup on it almost fell off.

Only then did Lan Shiqing dare to raise his head. No, he didn't dare to raise it, but he raised it involuntarily in shock, and his eyes almost popped out, "Your Majesty, what, what about a marriage exchange? Wei Chen

I really don’t know what the emperor is talking about.”

Lan Shiqing couldn't react for a moment.

Eunuch Hao, the chief eunuch, hurriedly came up to cheer the emperor up, "Oh, Your Majesty, please don't make the dragon body so angry. I beg the emperor to take care of his body. In all things, taking care of the dragon body is the first priority."

Or maybe people who can become chief eunuchs are not ordinary people. They always know how to appear next to the emperor at the right time and say something that the emperor likes to hear.

As expected, the emperor lowered his anger a little, calmed down, and asked Lan Shiqing again, "It was you who said it at the beginning. Your daughter Lan Qingruo is smart and well-behaved. When you say one, it is one, and when you say two, it is two. For

The honor of the family and the foundation of the country. If she can become the regent princess, she will definitely be able to complete the task according to our plan.

But why on the day of the wedding, she went to Huo Ziyao's house and became Huo Ziyao's wife, while the daughter of a wealthy Jiangnan businessman who was originally married to Huo Ziyao ran into Huo Weilou's house???"

"What?"

What Lan Shiqing heard was like thunder, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, sweating profusely on his head, "Qingruo went to Huo Ziyao's room? She, she, she didn't treat her as the regent princess?"

"You are still asking me, I am asking you, what is going on?"

The emperor stared at Lan Shiqing angrily, "Your Imperial Tutor House is so capable, but you actually treat my words as child's play. Are you kidding me?"

I know that you must have selfish motives. You are afraid that something will happen to Huo Weilou. You feel sorry for your daughter, and I have promised it to you. After the matter is completed, I will never treat anyone in your Tutor's house badly. But you are all superficial.

, behind the scenes, you fooled me like this, how brave you are!"

Lan Shiqing was completely frightened. If these charges mentioned by the emperor were really applied to their Taifu's house, they would all be serious crimes of deceiving the emperor. Not only beheading, but also the annihilation of the nine tribes.

So, Lan Shiqing almost knelt down and threw herself at the emperor, crying and saying, "Your Majesty, calm down your anger. Your Majesty, calm down your anger. Even if you give me 10,000 courages, I still won't be able to do the slightest bit of disobedience to the Emperor."

.

Weichen's family is loyal to the emperor and has no second thoughts. Heaven can tell. If the emperor needs it, they will do whatever it takes to do it.

This, how this marriage could turn out like this, I really don’t know anything about it..."

After saying that, he cried loudly.

The emperor saw that Lan Shiqing's words were sincere and did not sound like he was lying, so his tone softened slightly and he asked, "You really don't know?"
