Chapter 109: Wine



But as far as the emperor knows, the Wen family should have only one daughter, the queen. Could she be born to a collateral branch of the Wen family?

Or does it mean that Prime Minister Wen has an illegitimate daughter outside?

This shouldn't be the case. Prime Minister Wen has never thought of remarrying since his first wife passed away, and all the women in his family have been given contraceptive drugs.

The remaining son only cares about romance all day long and doesn't seem to have achieved anything.

One of the reasons why I dared to favor the Prime Minister's family so unscrupulously was because of this.

After all, it would be useless if they had enormous power but no one to inherit it.

[It's over. According to the original development, even if the Queen broke with my father, she never thought of allowing the daughter of the Wen family to enter the palace and taking away her power. Even those who were sent to the palace by the Wen family's side branches were dealt with by her.]

[In a way, this also helps my father. Now that the Queen has been deposed, the Wen family has become even more unscrupulous. If we want to keep the harem peaceful, my mother has to take the lead.]

After listening to Yao Guangyue's analysis, the system nodded several times.

[The host's analysis makes sense. Isn't this a good idea? Who knows, the imperial concubine might become the queen next, which would make the plot even more prone to collapse!]

[No, System, can you use your brain? Oh, I forgot, you don't have a brain, you have chips and magnetic fields.]

This sounds more like an insult, but unfortunately the system has no evidence to prove it.

"System, don't you think about this? My mother was born a military commander. What she hates most is these harem fights."

"If I let her deal with those women for too long, are you sure she won't abandon me and my daughter and go off to live her life on the battlefield? What will I do then?"

When these words came out, not only the system was stunned, but also the emperor was stunned.

He still remembered that the imperial concubine was indeed unwilling to stay in the harem, but she stayed reluctantly because of her deep love for him.

Now that Yao Guangyue mentioned this, the emperor suddenly realized that the bond between him and the imperial concubine seemed to be only with his daughter.

If the imperial concubine is really angered, she may fake her death and leave the harem.

The emperor felt heartbroken at the thought that he might not have the imperial concubine's company in the future. He stretched out his hand and knocked over the teacup beside him.

Eunuch Fang, who was standing nearby, was just about to take a nap when he was frightened by the noise.

"Your Majesty, are you alright? Did the tea burn you? These people down there are really idiots. How could they even get the tea service in the wrong place?"

There is nothing wrong with Eunuch Fang's loyalty, but sometimes this flattery can be quite embarrassing, because the emperor said something next.

"I put this teacup there myself just now."

At that moment, the expression on Eunuch Fang's face almost couldn't be maintained.

But he was worthy of being someone who had been in the imperial court for so many years, and he quickly changed his words.

"That's because there's something wrong with the sandalwood desk. I just replaced it with a rosewood desk for you a while ago. I think the size is wrong, which is why Your Majesty got hurt."

Of course the emperor knew that he was making excuses for himself. The rosewood desk had been replaced a month ago, and it was a bit too late to say it now.

However, the emperor did not expose his little thought. After all, he had been the emperor for so many years, and he knew that the people below were accustomed to flattery.

"Forget it, you don't have to mess with this table anymore."

Although the emperor told him not to worry about it and he stopped, he still had to watch anxiously.

The emperor was very depressed at this time. He felt that his daughter was right. If the queen was deposed at this time, it was not certain whether the imperial concubine could suppress the harem with her straightforward character!

What if I am framed by someone with ulterior motives, and it is not easy to show my favoritism openly? Wouldn't that give people a reason to criticize me?

The emperor was just sitting here in a daze, but Yao Guangyue was already thinking of a solution.

[System, if I give the Queen the True Love Potion now and she returns to normal, won't she be able to stop causing any trouble?]

[The host's suggestion is good, but how can you get in touch with the queen? ]

When it comes to this, Yao Guangyue becomes deflated again.

What should I do? Not only has the Wen family's plot of sending someone into the palace been brought forward, but I can't find anyone to stop them.

Upon hearing that his daughter wanted to detoxify the queen, the emperor decided to help her, but what opportunity should he find?

The emperor thought about it and decided to give the queen some wine.

"Come here, pass the word down and give the Queen the aged fragrant wine that our servants have offered as a tribute."

When the emperor gave the order, the people below were shocked and knelt down one after another.

The emperor was also confused and looked at the group of people in confusion.

At this time, Eunuch Fang hurriedly spoke to persuade: "Your Majesty, even if the Queen is wrong, the mistake is still made by the head of the six palaces. Please think twice."

Yao Guangyue was also confused and started yelling at the system.

What's wrong with the system? Did I miss something? Was there anything written in that memorial? Why would he stab the queen for no reason?

After hearing this, the emperor realized that his previous words were ambiguous and couldn't help but sigh.

"You are a bunch of fools. I told you to deliver the aged wine to the Queen so she can get drunk and forget her worries, not to order her death."

After the emperor's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. While Yao Guangyue was relieved, she couldn't help but complain a few words.

[Oh my god, can you please explain clearly? I'm so scared!]

The emperor could scold his subordinates for being stupid, but he couldn't say that to his own little princess, so he could only hold his forehead helplessly.

However, when the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree brought the wine to the queen, she got angry again.

"What crime have I committed? I was merely disrespectful in front of the palace, yet you actually want to sentence me to death? Forget it! I want to see the Prime Minister!"

The queen was about to break into the palace when she spoke, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

After all, the emperor had issued an order not allowing her to step out of the palace, but their obstruction took on a different meaning in the eyes of the queen.

The people below hurried up to explain, but she didn't listen at all and smashed the jar of good wine.

The people below came to report to the emperor trembling with fear. Although the eunuch who delivered the order had spoken very carefully and vaguely, the emperor still had a dark face.

"The Queen is really getting bolder and bolder. Does she still want to disobey the order?"

At this time, Yao Guangyue followed behind him and complained a few words.

"You're truly remarkable. You gave me wine for no apparent reason, and we all misunderstood. And what about the Queen? Don't forget that you imprisoned her just a second ago."

The emperor was suddenly stuck and didn't know what to say for a moment.
