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

The emperor followed the sound to the inner hall and saw the bed curtains shaking and noises coming from inside. He stood there quietly.

The image of his favorite concubine and the person he trusted most, willing only to die in order to be together, flashed through his mind.

After a long time, the emperor waved to Eunuch Deng.

Eunuch Deng and the guards around him stepped forward and suddenly opened the bed curtain.

Lu Zhong and the Queen were suddenly interrupted. Before they could separate their entangled bodies, they were pulled out from behind the bed curtains by Eunuch Deng and the guards.

The emperor didn't know whether it was because this had happened once before or because the queen was dispensable, but he didn't show any anger at all.

He looked at the two of them calmly: "Prime Minister, your official duties have ended up on the Queen's bed?"

During the day, he asked Eunuch Deng to convey a message to Lu Zhong to meet him in an audience. What did he say?

You are busy with official duties. Will you come to see the emperor after you finish the things at hand?

But he waited for a whole day and there was no sign of her.

The emperor knew the ambitions of Lu Zhong and the queen, but he did not expect that they were so bold that they could refuse him in person even if he summoned them personally.

Lu Zhong slowly stood up, calmly picked up the clothes and put them on the queen and himself.

He helped the queen up and carried her to the bed: "Your Majesty, you haven't rested yet so late?"

The emperor frowned slightly: "The prime minister is more free than me. He is busy with official duties during the day and has the queen to accompany him at night."

"I didn't know that the Prime Minister not only took my salary, but also slept with my queen."

Lu Zhong laughed and said, "The emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, so why would he care about a queen?"

Now that they have been encountered by the emperor, there is no possibility of explanation no matter what, and he will not let them go easily.

The emperor saw that Lu Zhong had no scruples anymore and looked at Eunuch Deng: "Put them in jail."

Eunuch Deng waved his hand, and the guards who followed him swarmed forward and surrounded Lu Zhong.

Looking at the people surrounding him, Lu Zhong laughed and said, "Your Majesty, don't waste your energy. If you were easily taken to prison, there would be no today."

He has made so many preparations, how could he be easily controlled by the emperor?

The emperor looked at the queen on the bed and said, "The queen has made up her mind to collude with Lu Zhong and doesn't care about our years of relationship as emperor and queen?"

The queen sat on the bed, eyes downcast, and said nothing.

She did care, but that was before the illegitimate sons and daughters were born.

When the emperor saw that the queen remained silent, he was unwilling to continue to entangle with the two of them.

"Take them to the prison."

"Yes." The guards stepped forward and tied Lu Zhong's hands. The queen was dragged off the bed by the guards.

Lu Zhong broke free from the guards, came to the queen, picked her up, looked deeply at the emperor, and walked out of the palace.

For the entire night, he ignored the queen's pleas for mercy and kept demanding more. She had already collapsed all over and didn't have any strength left.

Although Lu Zhong was angry, he had to be considerate of her, and he could not let the guards touch her casually or let them drag her away.

Following Lu Zhong's departure, the emperor and his entourage left the bedroom.

However, Wang Chao and his men came upon hearing the news and surrounded the Emperor and Eunuch Deng.

Lu Zhong looked at everything in front of him and turned around calmly: "I'm afraid that I will disappoint the emperor. I can't go to the prison today."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Prime Minister, you are very scheming. Even my imperial guards obey your orders."

Eunuch Deng stood in front of the emperor, looking at Wang Chao and others nervously.

Lu Zhong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

The emperor looked at the smug smile on Lu Zhong's face, and saw that the queen was silent and had an indifferent expression on her face, and he felt a little sad.

He had been sitting firmly on the throne for many years, and was obsessed with taking back the military power to make his throne more stable, but he never imagined the result would be like this.

Lu Zhong had followed her since he was still a prince, and the queen was promoted from prince's consort to queen.

Thinking that the woman who had been by his side for many years had been secretly having an affair with her brother and had been planning for years, the emperor's originally calm heart gradually began to burn with anger.

He is the emperor, the ruler of a country. For so many years, not only did he not notice anything unusual, he also continued to train their children and passed the throne to the crown prince...

Thinking of this, the emperor felt a surge in his throat.

Lu Zhong glanced at Wang Chao and said, "The emperor is in poor health. Take him back to the imperial study and take good care of him."

Wang Chao waved at the imperial guards, and they grabbed the emperor's arms without hesitation. Some even dared to push him away.

Eunuch Deng shouted "how outrageous!", but they acted as if they didn't hear him and pushed the emperor away, walking towards the imperial study.

The emperor staggered a few steps, and Lu Zhong's voice rang out behind him: "Eunuch Deng failed to take good care of him, so he will be transferred from the Imperial Study to the Laundry Bureau."

After hearing what Lu Zhong said, the emperor could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Eunuch Deng said in panic: "Your Majesty..."

He had just taken a few steps forward when several guards stopped him and dragged him towards the laundry department.

"Your Majesty... I want to stay with Your Majesty..."

Seeing that Lu Zhong was impatient, the imperial guards sealed Eunuch Deng's mouth and dragged him away quickly.

The emperor watched Eunuch Deng being dragged away, his body shaking slightly and he felt waves of dizziness coming over him.

He bit the tip of his tongue to make himself sober, and followed the guards back to the imperial study.

Zhao Yilian and the secret sentry in the distance saw everything and quickly went to the laundry room.

In the palace, the emperor was under house arrest, and Lu Zhong blocked all news, so no one could find out.

Outside the palace, Xie Zihan searched the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and investigated the Regent's Mansion, but still found no news about Shen Jingxuan.

She seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, with no news from her.

Xie Zihan stood in the room, looking at the empty room, unable to suppress his anger.

He didn't understand why Shen Jingxuan liked him so much before, but has changed now.

He didn't understand why she suddenly disappeared after he had tried every possible means to bring her to the villa.

He didn't understand why she didn't care at all after he had made so many plans just to be with her.

The more Xie Zihan thought about it, the angrier he became, and in a fit of rage, he smashed everything in the room.

Looking at the messy room, Xie Zihan felt a dull pain in his heart.

These were all carefully prepared for her, but she showed no joy when she saw them, and her eyes were filled with disgust...

Xie Zihan didn't care about the mess in the room at all and sat down on the floor leaning against the bed.

Seeing this, the guard tried to help him up, but was thrown away: "Go get some wine."

"Your Highness..."

"Go quickly." Xie Zihan glared at the guard.

The guard placed the wine next to Xie Zihan. He picked up a jar and drank it down in one gulp.

The spicy feeling rolls down the throat, and the burning sensation spreads all the way down.

Xie Zihan seemed to be unconscious and kept drinking until he finished a jar of wine, which then shattered.

He stared at the door with lifeless eyes and whispered softly: "Xuan'er, where on earth have you been?"

"Xuan'er, why have you changed? Not only do you have the emperor's uncle's child, but you also ignore me..."

Xie Zihan staggered to his feet, grabbed the guards beside him and yelled, "Why? Why can't you wait for me? Why can't you give me another chance?"

"..."

Xie Zihan went crazy in the villa for a long time, but he didn't know that after he went crazy, everything gradually got out of control.
