The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

Marquis Zhongyong and Ling Yu raised their eyebrows, looked at each other, and came to Eunuch Deng.

"My Lord is here too. Do you know what happened?"

"I know a little bit. Did the emperor pass on the order to the prince?"

Eunuch Deng asked, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?"

Marquis Zhongyong's eyes flickered as he looked towards the people in the Prince's Mansion.

Eunuch Deng followed his gaze, and when he saw Xie Zihan's appearance, he pointed in his direction in shock and staggered back a few steps.

"Prince, what's wrong?"

The people guarding the Prince's Palace only said that the Prince had left the Palace without permission and went to the Regent's Palace.

The emperor was furious when he learned about it, so he hurriedly sent him to convey the oral order.

Now looking at the unconscious Xie Zihan, Eunuch Deng didn't know how to convey the message.

The loyal and brave Marquis looked embarrassed: "The prince surrounded the regent's palace and ordered people to break open the gate of the palace, intending to break in."

"Upon hearing the news, the people came and surrounded the prince and beat him."

When Eunuch Deng heard the words of Marquis Zhongyong, he was slightly shocked and thought to himself that Xie Zihan was ignorant.

How could Xie Lingxiao not make adequate arrangements for the palace when he went far away to the border?

Even if he was not in the capital, Xie Zihan could not enter the Regent's Palace whenever he wanted.

Now everyone in the capital city knows that Xie Lingxiao is defending the border against the enemy, so today's action is normal.

How could they allow Xie Zihan to break into the Regent's Palace?

After all, Xie Lingxiao's defense against the enemy at the border not only prevents Beiling Kingdom from being invaded by the enemy, but also saves them from the suffering of war.

Anyone with a little conscience would not allow Xie Zihan to do whatever he wants.

Eunuch Deng and Marquis Zhongyong continued to ask a few more questions, and had to return empty-handed with the oral instructions.

Marquis Zhongyong asked the soldiers to continue guarding the palace and returned to Lingxu Courtyard with Ling Yu.

Shen Jingxuan was listening to Ling Qiong's report on what happened in front of the palace when she saw Marquis Zhongyong and Ling Yu walk in.

"Dad, is this what you came up with? This is a really good idea."

Hearing Shen Jingxuan's praise, Marquis Zhongyong smiled and said, "This happened suddenly, and there is no time to make other arrangements. This is the only way to solve the current situation."

Ling Yu asked, "Didn't the Marquis just say that you didn't arrange the people's affairs?"

Marquis Zhongyong slapped Ling Yu, but he dodged it and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Don't you have a brain? Xie Zihan is the prince after all. There are so many people in front of the mansion, how can he admit it to his face?"

"Pfft..." Ling Huan chuckled, earning Ling Yu an unfriendly look.

He just didn't expect it to be so serious?

If he didn't have a brain, why would his master keep him by his side?

The Regent's Palace was happily discussing the matter, but after listening to Eunuch Deng's report, the Emperor angrily slammed the desk.

"Why don't the people beat such a brainless person to death?"

Eunuch Deng lowered his head and said nothing.

The emperor can say such things at will, and he just needs to listen. As Xie Zihan is the crown prince, it is not something he can discuss.

"Have someone continue to guard the Prince's Mansion. No one is allowed to visit."

Eunuch Deng responded and quickly gave orders.

The emperor stared at the palace door in silence for a long time, then slowly leaned back in his chair.

Now that Xie Zi Han had been beaten, he had to recuperate at home. She wondered if the Queen would disobey her orders and force her way to visit the Prince at his mansion.

Although he was suspicious of the queen, he didn't know why, even though he had sent people to keep an eye on her and Lu Zhong, there was still no news.

Sometimes the emperor even suspected that the news was wrong and that the queen had not betrayed him.

Although there is no evidence now, he still won't easily believe the queen.

The emperor covered his lips and coughed lightly. When Eunuch Deng returned and saw this, he hurried forward to help him calm down.

"Your Majesty, you must not get angry. The dragon's health is more important."

"How can I not be angry? The prince has disobeyed my orders time and again, and now he has caused such a thing again."

"Your Majesty, you should also pay more attention to your body."

Ever since Shen Jingxuan took the emperor's pulse, the emperor followed her advice and his health gradually improved.

But he didn't expect that after just a few days, he fell ill again.

Since then, my coughing problem has not improved, and sometimes I can't stop coughing for a long time.

"Still no news from the people keeping an eye on the Queen?"

Eunuch Deng shook his head slightly: "Not yet."

"Has she never met Lu Zhong privately?"

"We haven't met since Lu Zhong discovered the assassin in the Queen's Palace." Eunuch Deng said as he sorted out the memorials on the imperial desk.

After hearing his words, the emperor slowly closed his eyes.

He had sent people to keep an eye on the queen for so long, but no news had been sent back.

In the past, people were called back to inquire about the queen’s situation, but those things were normal.

There was an assassin in the Queen's palace a few days ago. He later found out that it was the assassin who was discovered by Lu Zhong when he went to see the Queen.

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes and slammed the desk.

Eunuch Deng was so frightened by the emperor's sudden action that he dropped the memorial in his hand to the ground.

He lay on the ground in fear: "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

The emperor looked at Eunuch Deng and said, "Get up."

Eunuch Deng hurriedly picked up the memorial on the ground. The emperor was slightly stunned when he saw his hand picking up the memorial.

"what is that?"

Eunuch Deng looked at the extra corner of the memorial and gently pulled it, and a small piece of paper appeared in front of the two of them.

The emperor's brows gradually furrowed. He had already reviewed these memorials and had not noticed this piece of paper before.

He flipped the paper back and forth and noticed some writing on it, so the emperor slowly opened it.

When the emperor saw the contents of the paper clearly, he stood up suddenly.

He was just wondering why the people who were keeping an eye on the Queen did not report anything, but Lu Zhong discovered the assassin in the Queen's palace.

If Lu Zhong hadn't been there, how would he have discovered it?

But even so, he has not received any news about Lu Zhong's meeting with the Queen.

The emperor handed the paper to Eunuch Deng and asked, "Wang Chao has not sent any news about the Queen's meeting with Lu Zhong?"

Eunuch Deng took it, and when he saw the content on it, he suddenly raised his head.

"Your Majesty, he really didn't pass on any news. When I asked him, he just said there was nothing unusual."

At this time, Eunuch Deng kept cursing Wang Chao in his heart.

Idiot, how dare he lie to the emperor.

The emperor sat down slowly: "Lu Zhong and the Queen are really capable of making Wang Chao work for them."

He has been sitting firmly on the throne for so many years, and just based on what Wang Chao did, he knew that what Xie Lingxiao said was probably true.

It's just that due to lack of evidence, we can't deal with them immediately.

How could a queen and a prime minister be easily dealt with without solid evidence?

As the prime minister of Beiling State, Lu Zhong had no idea how many people in the court were on his side...

There is an invasion from Xiling Kingdom outside and turmoil in the court inside...

This is not what he wants to see.

Thinking of this, the emperor's expression became increasingly gloomy. He knew that now was not the time to deal with Lu Zhong and the queen.

He thought for a moment and said, "Go and ask Wang Chao to come to the Imperial Study to see me."

"Yes." Eunuch Deng responded and left the imperial study.
