Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

Li Fuan was guarding the door. Without the emperor's order, not even the wind could get in!

Cao An's godson came forward cautiously. Because he was nervous, he was not very fluent when he spoke. "Eunuch Li, the imperial concubine sent someone to ask when the emperor will come for dinner?"

Concubine Lin has a good relationship with Cao An, and the emperor also said today that he would go to her place for dinner in the evening.

But, I was tripped.

Although Li Fuan couldn't stand Cao An's godson, who had no ability, looked stingy, and was not presentable, he didn't want to offend Concubine Lin. Only Cao An could serve that tigress.

"Just wait. When the emperor wants to go, he will go naturally."

Having said that, when Cao An's godson stood obediently beside him, he still ran in happily to report.

The reason why I dared to stop Cao An just now was because we were all servants, and even if it delayed something, it wouldn't matter.

But Concubine Lin is the master, and a difficult one to serve. Li Fuan dare not offend her!

When Li Fuan entered, the emperor was still angry. The people kneeling on the ground beside him dared not even breathe.

He was also nervous, but he didn't dare to speak. He could only explain his purpose in a tactful way, and then lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

Silence is a silent pressure. Li Fuan's sweat dripped from his forehead to the ground, but he dared not move at all.

He didn't know how long it had been, it seemed like a lifetime, before he heard the emperor's dull voice, "Tell her not to wait for me, I will be there later."

The power behind Concubine Lin should not be underestimated. Even if the emperor is angry, he will not embarrass her too much.

I won't be able to make it in time for dinner, so I'll just stay at her place tonight.

After receiving the response, Li Fuan quickly rolled out, not daring to stay a step longer.

When he left, Cao An's adopted son came to meet him. Li Fuan straightened his clothes and said, "Go back and wait. The emperor will come over when he is done."

Concubine Lin is domineering in the harem, but relying on the emperor's support, she looks down on everyone.

Only Cao An can catch her eye.

Now even this clumsy godson can convey messages for her. I wonder what Concubine Lin is thinking.

She is picky, but how could she like Cao An?

It's true that she is not picky. Apart from Cao An, no one else has ever been able to serve her for so long.

Li Fuan was unhappy. Cao An was really lucky. Once Concubine Lin went tonight, the emperor would remember him again.

However, he failed to do his job well this time, and I am afraid he will never be able to regain his previous glory and favor...

Everyone in the palace was as shrewd as a fox. At the slightest sign of trouble, they would pop up like bamboo shoots after the rain, eager to get information.

Sure enough, within just one night, Cao An, who was left outside by Li Fuan yesterday, appeared in the imperial study again.

But this time, he was not stopped.

"Eunuch Li, thank you for letting me."

Cao An looked at him coldly and kept this in mind. There were many people in the palace who would take advantage of someone's misfortune, but Li Fuan had been fighting with him for a long time. One day, he would trample him into the mud and make him unable to get up again!

"It's okay, Eunuch Cao, you're too polite." Li Fuan smiled wryly. He would not be scared by Cao An.

So what if he is a favorite of the Emperor?

But it was once upon a time.

But the person standing behind him now is the Queen Mother!

"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty. I have failed in my job and deserve death. Please forgive me!" As soon as Cao An entered, he knelt down and apologized.

He knew the emperor. Although the matter was stopped because of the emperor's decree, it was ultimately his fault that he failed to find the person in time, so it was not unjust for him to admit his guilt.

The emperor was about to get angry, but halfway through his anger was blocked back.

"Do you know that you have ruined my plan?"

The emperor threw down the memorial, and when he saw Cao An, he remembered the scene yesterday when he was forced by Prime Minister Qin and several other adults. That scene was just like when the empress dowager was still alive, making him feel that he was the emperor, whether he was still emperor or not.

You can never do whatever you want!

Cao An didn't dare to argue and could only confess everything he had done.

"I was almost able to catch the man, but Prime Minister Qin's granddaughter suddenly came out to disrupt my investigation, which is why I failed."

Prime Minister of Qin?

It’s Qin Xiang again!

Cao An said to keep half and half. After knowing the identity of Prime Minister Qin's granddaughter yesterday, he already had a plan in mind.

"Your Majesty, I was just about to come back to report this to you, but I received an order saying that Master Wen had been released. I am stupid and don't know what happened. If Your Majesty is angry, please vent it on me!"

Cao An lowered his head, extremely pious, "I just hope the emperor won't get too angry and hurt himself. I'll take any punishment you give me!"

It is said that Cao An was a popular figure around the emperor!

At least, he had a firm grasp of the emperor's thoughts!

If he were to argue and defend himself, no matter how deep their friendship was, he would be taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail the emperor.

However, he took the initiative to plead guilty and even made sacrifices without regrets, so to the emperor, he was loyal!

Loyal people are extremely rare in this palace...

"Forget it, you should get up first." The emperor looked tired. He had not had a good sleep since yesterday. Even in the middle of the night, the chattering of the old men was giving him a headache.

Cao An stood up cautiously, sizing up the emperor's expression, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, the little granddaughter of Prime Minister Qin has never been made public. But yesterday, in order to stop the servant, Prime Minister Qin was brought out. I wonder if there is any other secret behind this?"

Diverting trouble away from others' path is a tried and tested tactic.

The emperor was reprimanded by Prime Minister Qin yesterday, and now when he heard Cao An say this, he naturally began to think more.

"Prime Minister Qin said yesterday that the people have been resentful for a long time, and the anger of the scholars cannot be suppressed. The Dali Temple did not find any evidence that Wen Zhi participated in the fraud. On the contrary, the torture they used to make him confess was discovered, which made the matter even worse."

In order to calm the situation and maintain the court's reputation among the people, Prime Minister Qin, together with several other important officials, proposed to him to release Wen Zhi.

He was naturally unwilling, but Qin Xiang and others argued that there was no evidence to prove that Wen Zhi participated in the cheating in the Spring Examination. Instead, all signs showed that there was someone who did it.

"Your Majesty, Wen is a good official. If he is wrongly accused, it will chill the people. The person behind the cheating in the Spring Examination must be extraordinary. Only by catching the real cheater can the world be convinced."

The emperor understood the hidden meaning of Prime Minister Qin.

I heard that he couldn't take the blame, he was too clean -

So, how about changing someone?
