Forced into a corner, he was so angry that he kept coughing and couldn't speak.

Meng Zhuo'er patted him on the back, "Yu'er, a little impatience can ruin a big plan. When you take power, you can find a way to deal with these treacherous officials! But the most urgent thing is that you have to take power! There are some things about Fan girl that don't suit your taste, but one thing is certain, she is ours and has not been lured by the regent!"

"Ahem, okay, ahem, let's go with her..."

Like a defeated rooster, Ning Yu nodded helplessly, and then said bitterly, "When I take power, I will confiscate their homes one by one..."

Before he could finish his words, his trusted eunuch suddenly ran in in a panic, "Your Majesty, it's bad, Miss Meng has gone to become a nun to practice Buddhism!"

Even Meng Zhuo'er was shocked, "Why did he become a monk out of the blue?!"

"Well, Miss Meng said that she has been familiar with Huang Lao since she was young, and has always been devoted to Taoism. Now she has been inspired by heaven, so..."

"Ahem, how dare you! How dare you disobey my order? Ahem, I will confiscate her property and punish her! Mother, is this the queen you chose for me? Is this one of ours?!"

Who can understand what's going on? She would rather become a nun than marry you. How much she must hate you!

When I thought about the woman I just disliked actually abandoning me first, I felt so hurt!

Meng Zhuo'er also hated Meng Ruofan for not knowing what was good for her, but she couldn't let Ning Yu raid her family home, so she could only bite the bullet and persuade him, "It's your mother who didn't think it through. Fan has always been a strange girl, and I didn't expect that she would want to become a nun and practice Buddhism. It's really ridiculous! But she definitely didn't disobey the order on purpose. I just sent someone to tell her everything, and I didn't issue an order. How can she be accused of disobeying the order? This matter must not be made public!"

That means, if you make it public, you will be embarrassed!

Ning Yu also wanted to understand the key point, so he could only grit his teeth and agree. However, after this incident, Ning Yu's illness, which had finally recovered, became worse again. The entire bedroom seemed to be soaked in medicine, and the smell of medicine was permeated from the inside out.

Meng Zhuo'er worried about his illness day and night, because the imperial physician had privately revealed to her that the emperor had actually contracted syphilis and was in very poor health, so it took more than a month for a cold to heal.

"Ah? What should we do? The emperor has not yet taken power, and has no offspring!"

Meng Zhuoer was so anxious about this matter, like an ant on a hot pan, but she didn't notice that Ning Ning took this opportunity to eliminate her two points of power in the court!

The mother and son were completely left alone in the court, but Meng Zhuoer was still devoted to the "career" of getting Ning Yu married. She really thought that she could command the world with the imperial seal.

In order to get married as soon as possible, they simply issued an edict to appoint a duke's daughter as queen.

The daughter of a duke sounds respectable, and it seems that it would not be unfair to Ning Yu for her to be the queen, but the duke's family has fallen on hard times, and he only has the title but no real power.

In order to maintain the dignity of the Duke's Mansion, he even spent more than he earned, and even the purse strings were emptied out. It can be said that he only had the title of Duke, and his descendants had no outstanding figures.

Meng Zhuo'er originally didn't like him, but now she had no time to choose. This empty-handed duke was easy to deal with, so she chose his daughter, set an auspicious date, and got married.

Such a duke did not dare to offend the emperor and the empress dowager, and he was eager to produce a queen to prolong the life of his family, so he happily agreed.

They never expected that as soon as the decree to establish the queen was issued, the emperor's trusted eunuch came that night and secretly conveyed the emperor's decree.

To put it simply, it was to let the Duke's Mansion come forward to redeem Lin Xiu'er, and then say that she died suddenly.

Afterwards, he told the public that the Duke had a daughter born to a concubine, and now he had adopted her and sent her to the palace to be an inconspicuous noble.

After hearing these "profound remarks", the noble lady who was to be the queen fainted immediately, and the Duke seemed to be having a seizure. His face twitched for a long time, and he finally managed to force out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"My daughter is shallow in knowledge, I'm sorry to have laughed at you. Please go back and report to His Majesty. I will definitely handle this matter well and relieve His Majesty's worries."

"Okay, then I will go back and report to His Majesty."

"You walk slowly."

The steward hadn't even stepped out of the door when he heard a commotion inside. It turned out that the noble lady had woken up and was threatening to hang herself. Those inside who were trying to persuade her were shouting and clamoring.

The steward shook his head and slipped away.

The Duke on the other side was still complaining about his daughter's ignorance, "What did your father teach you? A woman must be virtuous and kind, and jealousy is the worst. It's just a small nobleman, and it can't affect your status!"

"Father, you have wronged me. I am not a jealous person, but how can I share a husband with a woman of this background? A woman like this is not fit to enter the palace. How can the emperor be so licentious——"

"Snapped!"

The Duke went up and slapped her, "Who gave you the courage to criticize His Majesty! Thunder and rain are all grace from the Emperor, how can you take advantage of it! Besides, a woman like this will never be promoted to a high position in the palace, and it is impossible for her to replace you. What's wrong with having one more or one less? I tell you, she is nominally your concubine sister, you still have to take good care of her, don't be confused! You think that just because you are crowned as the Queen, we can't be separated from His Majesty!"

After saying this, he asked his family to keep an eye on their daughter and not to cause any trouble. Then he hurried off to do his job, redeemed Lin Xiu'er, and completed her household registration. He then secretly sent her into the palace in a sedan chair.

People outside only knew that there was a new noble lady in the palace, but this kind of low-ranking concubine was inconspicuous and no one paid any attention to her.

Ning Yu was overjoyed that he could finally be reunited with his sweetheart. The two of them were as close as honey and Ning Yu's cold was even cured.

Unfortunately, the joy soon turned into sorrow. Ning Yu and Ning Ning became awkward while discussing matters in the court.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Ning Ning this time. In the past, even when they had disagreements, Ning Ning still gave face to the emperor’s nephew and spoke more tactfully.

But this time, Ning Ning's words were very straightforward, and she simply didn't give Ning Yu face. Ning Yu couldn't hold back his face, "Prince Regent, even if you are my uncle, you can't be so rude to me. My dear ministers, you can just watch the Prince Regent commit crimes!"

He thought that since he would soon be in charge of the government, the ministers would have to give him some face and some would stand on his side. However, the result shocked him - no one, really no one!

He didn't know that in the eyes of his ministers, he, the emperor, was already an extremely unreliable person.

Therefore, no one stood up to accuse Ning Ning of violating the etiquette of a subject as he had expected. Instead, several ministers stood up to say that the regent had no such intention, and their words implied that he was too suspicious.

Looking at the heads bowed in the court, Ning Yu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
