Chapter 322 I Want to Take Her into the Palace
"Lu Mingchao, tell me, is it possible that Shu Dajian is not dead?"
Lu Mingchao was stunned.
It is confirmed that His Royal Highness Prince Duan is seriously ill.
No decent person would be sent into the imperial mausoleum to open the coffin of a eunuch.
Lu Mingchao showed no sign of emotion, and opened his red lips slightly. "How could such a thing happen?"
"Your Highness, I don't know."
"I have only seen Shu Dajian from a distance at palace banquets."
"When Shu Dajian committed suicide and was buried alive, I was still young and knew very little about the events of that year. Your Highness may have asked the wrong person."
Prince Duan looked at Lu Mingchao for a long time, then smiled and said, "I think Xie Sui is the Grand Supervisor Shu."
"Then who is Xie Huaiqian?"
"Can you give me an explanation?"
Lu Mingchao said calmly, "He is my stepson."
"Your Highness's guess is too incredible."
"Lu Mingchao." Prince Duan said solemnly, "I want to tell you that I have formed an alliance with the Queen Mother."
"My condition is that after the success, the Lingnan Chu family will be exempted from the crime of exile and allowed to return to the capital. Their descendants will be subject to the imperial examination."
"When I first saw Xie Sui in Changhe County, I became suspicious, but my people were deceived by some tricks, which affected my judgment."
"I should have known this as early as last winter."
Lu Mingchao frowned and said nothing.
She couldn't help but doubt Prince Duan's intentions.
Even though Prince Duan is not the biological son of the current Majesty, he still has the honor of being the eldest son of the emperor and is given the title of Prince Duan.
Can you really abandon the kindness of your upbringing and the dignity you already have?
“These words really scared me.”
"Your Highness, no one in this world can come back to life from the dead."
"I don't know much about the matter of Supervisor Shu, but I have some immature suggestions on how to deal with Master Xuanxi's remains."
"Who knows if the person who was struck to death by lightning would carry some dirty things with him. Seeing the heavy rain, the rain water soaked him..."
"Tsk." Lu Mingchao sighed softly, "Perhaps, the epidemic predicted by Lu Minghui was caused by the failure to properly dispose of Master Xuanxi's remains."
"Buddhism is not known to take pride in the transformation of one's body into relics after death."
"Your Highness Prince Duan may wish to report to the emperor and have the remains of Master Xuanxi transported out of Wanxing County and then burned on firewood to preserve Master Xuanxi's reputation."
Prince Duan leaned forward slightly. "What if there are no less relics?"
Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "That further proves that Master Xuanxi is a heinous and evil monk. His death is not a pity!"
"If it were up to you, Father would definitely create a relic." Prince Duan smiled and continued, "You may not know that Master Xuanxi's prophecy was once the golden statue that Father was proud of."
"Master Xuanxi is high above us, and my father is appointed by heaven."
Lu Mingchao stretched out his voice, "Your Highness Prince Duan, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away."
The emperor was far away in the capital, and no matter what means he used, he could not reach him.
His Royal Highness Prince Duan answered irrelevantly, "It seems that you know that Master Xuanxi calculated the destiny and did his best to help father take the throne."
"Then do you know that Master Xuan Xi also left a prophecy that the Xie family will rebel?"
Hearing this, Lu Mingchao felt a breath of foul air swirling in his chest and throat.
Will the Xie family rebel?
Judging from today's situation, the Xie family does have rebellious intentions.
But if the current emperor did not kill his nephew to seize the throne and massacre the Xie family, would Empress Dowager Xie and A'yan deliberately do all this?
prophecy.
What a prophecy!
…
The sky was as dark as ink, and it was impossible to tell day from night.
The memorials from Prince Duan and Yan Jianzheng were sent out of Wanxing and rushed to Shangjing over a distance of 800 miles.
The emperor was furious again.
He knew Xuan Xi's abilities better than anyone else.
But this time...
Is it because Lu Mingchao was in Wanxing?
The emperor once again considered taking Lu Mingchao into the harem.
The person who can make the reborn Lu Minghui envious is definitely not an ordinary person. As the saying goes, husband and wife are like one body, so their fate should also be closely connected.
So what if I get married?
So what if I’m pregnant?
He could see that Gu Huai was obsessed with Lu Mingchao and couldn't let him go. Holding Lu Mingchao in his hands would be like clamping Gu Huai's lifeline.
Then, he would like to see what is different about this destined person.
"Empress, I want to take someone into the palace." The emperor summoned the empress and said directly.
The queen did not suspect anything and said gently and kindly, "I wonder which girl your majesty has chosen. I will issue an imperial decree to summon her to the palace."
"The person your majesty chooses, I will definitely protect him well."
The queen had no children and came from a poor family.
The reason why you can firmly sit on the throne of Empress is because Your Majesty has overcome all objections.
"Marquis Yongning's adopted daughter."
The queen was stunned for a moment and thought she was hallucinating.
The adopted daughter of Marquis Yongning?
Lu Ming Dynasty?
She remembered that the mayor of Lerong County said that Lu Mingchao was already a married woman.
"Your Majesty." The Queen pursed her lips and said cautiously, "I'm afraid that if Miss Nalu enters the palace, it will damage your Majesty's reputation. The censors in the Historic Platform..."
"Empress, this is not a very troublesome matter." The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. "It is very simple to change your appearance and get a new identity."
The Queen has suffered a heart attack.
Your Majesty's actions are becoming more and more absurd!
"Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?" the Queen asked patiently.
The emperor nodded.
"Your Majesty, the most difficult part of this matter is not that Lu Mingchao is already married, but Empress Dowager Xie and Princess Yongming."
"Lu Mingchao and Le Rong were close friends, and Princess Yongming admired Lu Mingchao very much and protected him as if he were her own junior."
"If I force Lu Mingchao to come to the palace, Princess Yongming will certainly ask Empress Dowager Xie to intervene and stop it."
"I need you to go and convince the Queen Mother in person, and put the seals of the two palaces on the imperial decree. In this way, Princess Yongming will have nothing to say."
Queen: No, why don’t you go and tell Queen Mother Xie in person about such a shameless thing?
"Your Majesty, I..." The Queen wanted to refuse.
The emperor has thousands of beautiful women, why is your majesty so crazy that he has to choose Lu Mingchao?
Even without Princess Yongming, we still have Ming Yushi.
Could it be that Your Majesty thinks Ming Yushi is dead?
If she dared to issue an imperial decree, the Ming Dynasty historians would dare to submit impeachment memorials and propose to depose her.
Your Majesty really doesn't take her life seriously.
"Queen, please don't let me down."
The empress was in a daze and went to Changning Palace in a hurry.
She was ready to be slapped by Empress Dowager Xie.
She now only hoped that Empress Dowager Xie would firmly reject her request so that she could accomplish her mission without being verbally or politically criticized.
But, is it possible?
Empress Dowager Xie hoped that Your Majesty would become infamous and be driven off the throne in disgrace.
Changning Palace.
Empress Dowager Xie tore off the new string of beads in her hand, and the beads fell to the ground one by one, bounced up, and then fell to the ground again.
"Is he crazy?"
"In the face of natural disasters and human suffering, he was thinking of robbing women?"
The queen was so angry that she didn't dare to say "Empress, Empress Sister-in-law..."
Empress Dowager Xie's eyes were cold and she said, "Shut up."
Queen: ...
Just told her to shut up, didn't slap her.
She is very satisfied.
"Do you know the reason?" Empress Dowager Xie asked in a deep voice, holding a bead.
Natural disasters strike
