When Lan Nuoling heard what Xu Tianze said and thought about what happened at the palace banquets in previous years, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, because what Xu Tianze said was not wrong.
Almost every year at the palace banquets, some ridiculous things happen, and then they are often talked about throughout the year and become the topic of conversation after dinner.
"If it were previous years, I might not be able to guarantee it, but you can rest assured about this year's palace banquet. There will definitely be no one so blind as to dare to cause trouble at the palace banquet." Lan Nuoling had a mischievous smile on her face.
Seeing Lan Nuoling's expression of "ask me something quickly," Xu Tianze also took the opportunity to speak: "Could it be that this year is different from previous years?"
Lan Nuoling nodded. That was no different at all. It was simply a humiliating history for the current emperor. She signaled Fuqin and Xichen to take people to guard outside. When there was no one around, she moved closer to Xu Tianze and lowered her voice:
"Do you know what happened at the palace banquet last year? The current prince was caught in bed with the Sixth Prince."
Xu Tianze: ???
Xu Tianze:!!!
"Is it true? These two are not biological brothers... How did they manage to hold on to their positions when they were so rebellious?" Xu Tianze didn't expect that he would reveal such a big secret by just asking a casual question.
He suddenly straightened up and looked around, and saw that no one had left. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then looking at Lan Nuoling's smirking expression, he couldn't help himself.
"And then? And then?"
"The late emperor was furious at that time, but this person said calmly that she was plotted against. Please give her some time, she will definitely give you an explanation." When Lan Nuoling said this, admiration flashed in his eyes, but then turned solemn.
"Do you know how long it took this person to find out the truth?"
"The late emperor granted this person three days, but that very night he stopped all ministers and their families from leaving the palace. He then placed the entire palace under martial law. As soon as daylight broke, he thoroughly investigated the matter."
Xu Tianze's face also became serious when she heard this. When she was still a princess, she had the courage to not be afraid of offending all the ministers, and even disregarded the face of the late emperor, and dared to make drastic changes in the palace.
It's easy to imagine that this is no ordinary person. It can even be said that he has already started to infiltrate his own network of contacts in the palace. If it weren't for the complicated network of contacts in the palace, it would have been impossible to find out so quickly.
Lan Nuoling gave Xu Tianze enough time to react before continuing, "The evidence was irrefutable at the time. In front of the ministers, the late emperor asked this person what he wanted to do, and this person just said it."
"Kill." Xu Tianze silently uttered a word.
When Lan Nuoling heard the word Xu Tianze uttered, she seemed to be back to the scene at that time.
That person also had a blank expression on his face, and casually uttered the word "kill", and at the same time, he also wanted to kill all nine generations of the clan.
All the ministers present were shocked and immediately asked the late emperor for mercy. If the nine clans were executed, the court would be shaken and the people would be unstable. In addition, there was still a war going on at the border, which would most likely lead to the collapse of the Minglan Kingdom.
Facing the ministers' pleas or accusations, he didn't even glance at them. He simply knelt down and looked at the late emperor: "Mother, if someone can even scheme against the royal family, then it shows that she has no respect for them at all."
"If this person is powerful, then her schemes against the royal family might not just be a lack of respect. With the border in turmoil right now, if we're not careful, such a person could become a sharp sword stabbing the royal family."
"What's more, what she's planning could bring shame to the entire royal family. She's also committed a grave mistake herself, and she still has the support of countless people who are just sitting there doing nothing but eating their fill."
"I only have one word: kill."
After this person finished speaking, he waited for the late emperor's decision, but anyone could see the murderous intent rising from his body. Regardless of whether the late emperor agreed or not, the person who plotted against him would die without a burial place.
Even the minister who wanted to advise him just now kept silent. It is good to get some favors, but when it comes to his own life, it is more important to protect himself first.
What's more, things have come to this point, and they have many reasons that they cannot express. Once they say them, it will show their contempt and dissatisfaction with the royal family.
"What's wrong?" Xu Tianze looked at Lan Nuoling in confusion.
How could this person have been so distracted while talking? Was the New Year's Eve celebration in Minglan Country so hectic? Didn't people even have a moment to relax?
Lan Nuoling came back to his senses and nodded: "You are right. In the end, the late emperor adopted this person's advice and directly executed the nine clans. So no one will really cause trouble this year."
Last year's events are still fresh in our memory. Who would be so blind as to cause trouble this year? If a problem arises and the current leader thinks of last year's plan, he will be in great pain even if he doesn't die.
"If you say so, I shouldn't need to be alert." After saying this, Xu Tianze took a sip of tea and became idle again.
If there were no ignorant troublemakers, there would be no need for him to stay alert all the time. He could just follow the normal palace banquet procedures.
Lan Nuoling felt helpless when she saw that this man became lazy while talking. Sometimes she really doubted whether this lazy guy was really the troublemaker Xu Tianze from the Gan Kingdom?
Could it be that it was swapped on the way here?
Xu Tianze felt Lan Nuoling's offensive gaze and just glanced at her indifferently. At the beginning, he wanted to say something, but the way Lan Nuoling always looked at him made him calm down.
Anyway, nothing will happen if I look at him a few more times, so I'll just look at him. After all, I'm just wondering why he is so lazy and not as smart as the rumors say.
In this regard, Xu Tianze just wanted to say that the rumor was really exaggerated. He himself was a lazy person, and if he was not forced into no choice, he would not move at all.
Before, when he was in Gan Country, he was scheming about this and that. Now that he has come to Minglan Country, his starting point is the younger brother of the Regent. In addition, he has declared that he is homosexual, and no one has come to propose marriage. It can be said that his life is already very comfortable.
Naturally, it is different, and there is nothing strange about returning to nature.
"Your Majesty can remind me at the morning court today that he wants to see you at the palace banquet." Lan Nuoling's words came over lightly.
Xu Tianze's originally lazy gaze suddenly became serious: "But what did you find?"
"I don't know yet, because she didn't make things difficult for me." Lan Nuoling shook her head, also not knowing the situation.
According to common sense, if the emperor knew Xu Tianze's identity, he would use this as an excuse to attack her directly.
But he only mentioned it so casually, as if he didn't care at all. Even the little troubles he had made in the past were gone, which made Lan Nuoling a little uncomfortable.
"It is also possible that the evidence is incomplete, so we are holding back for the time being." After Lan Nuoling pondered for a moment, he could only give this answer.
