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

Xie Lingxiao frowned. He didn't know where Xie Zihan was and had never cared about it.

Ling Feng hurriedly said: "Xie Zihan is in the Prince's Mansion. After the master and the princess left that day, I ordered someone to release him."

Xie Lingxiao ordered: “Go check what Xie Zihan did at the mansion.”

"Yes." Ling Feng responded and left.

Lu Zhong and the Queen were conspiring in the palace. It was impossible for Xie Zihan to know nothing about it, nor would he do nothing and just wait for the results.

When Ling Feng returned again, he said angrily: "Xie Zihan has met with many ministers in the past few days. Today he summoned those people to his house. I don't know what they are talking about."

Xie Lingxiao asked: "Has his injury healed?"

Xie Zihan was captured by Ling Feng to inquire about Shen Jingxuan's whereabouts. Even though Ling Feng was concerned about his current status as the prince, he would not go easy on him.

How anxious was Xie Zihan to meet the ministers despite being so seriously injured?

"Not well yet. I'm afraid it will take some time to recover." Ling Feng replied.

How could he not give her a severe lesson after capturing their princess?

That day, the more Xie Zihan said he didn't know Shen Jingxuan's whereabouts, the happier he and Ling Chen became.

Neither of them had to look for another excuse to teach him a lesson.

Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao were discussing Xie Zihan's matter. In the palace, the emperor also learned about this.

But because he was being watched and Eunuch Deng was not by his side, even if he wanted to do something, he didn't know who to tell.

The emperor looked at the note in his hand and couldn't figure out who had given him the message.

The door of the imperial study opened, and the emperor held the note tightly. He hesitated for a moment, worried that he would be discovered. He frowned, put the note into his mouth, and swallowed it.

Lu Zhong slowly came before the emperor, and as he saw his increasingly haggard face, he became happier.

"Is the emperor feeling better these days?"

The emperor just looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Lu Zhong and the queen did so many things, but the emperor seemed not to notice his smug look.

How could he not know now that Lu Zhong and the Queen had been planning for many years, just to secure the throne for Xie Zihan.

He just wanted to see what Lu Zhong wanted to say or do at this moment.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Lu Zhong continued, "Your Majesty, you have not attended the morning court for many days, and the civil and military officials in the court are already dissatisfied with you. What do you think we should do?"

The emperor sighed in his heart. He also wanted to attend the morning court, but Lu Zhong and the queen would never give him the opportunity to meet with the ministers.

Lu Zhong smiled and said, "It's fine if Your Majesty doesn't say anything. Why don't I tell you what happened?"

He continued, "All the civil and military officials in the court know that you are obsessed with the harem and have long lost interest in the morning court. Now they are discussing the appointment of a new master."

"And now the eldest prince is not good at government affairs and is concentrating on business, while the second prince is wandering around and no one knows where he is."

"The Crown Prince is the most suitable candidate. Your Majesty, what do they think?"

When the emperor heard Lu Zhong's words, he stared at him with an unpleasant expression.

He thought that since Lu Zhong had already placed him under house arrest, he would not be in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, after just a few days, all the civil and military officials in the court had begun to take sides and even gave up on him as the emperor.

Seeing the emperor’s face flushed and glaring at him angrily, Lu Zhong laughed and walked out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, please rest here and recuperate. I will take care of everything else for you."

When the emperor heard Lu Zhong's words, he closed his eyes tightly. He had been the emperor for many years, but he did not expect this result.

How stupid he was for all these years that he had noticed nothing about Lu Zhong and the Queen, and had no doubts about Xie Zihan's identity.

It's ridiculous that he slept on the same bed with a vicious woman all day long. It's ridiculous that he believed Lu Zhong's words and made Xie Zihan the crown prince.

The emperor found the most ridiculous thing to be that he devoted himself to nurturing the children of Lu Zhong and the queen, but ignored his own offspring.

As his thoughts surged, the emperor's face became paler and paler. A slight noise came from his ears, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

In the inner hall of the imperial study, two people walked out quietly. The emperor stared at the direction of the inner hall, motionless.

When he saw clearly the person coming towards him, he stood up suddenly.

"Old Deng..." the emperor exclaimed, and Zhao Yiliang quickly covered his mouth.

Zhao Yiliang saw the emperor looking at him and slowly let go of his hand.

Eunuch Deng stepped forward and knelt before the emperor with a plop: "Your Majesty, I am useless and I am late."

The emperor broke free from Zhao Yiliang's hand, pulled Eunuch Deng up, and quickly moved away from Zhao Yiliang.

"Who is he? Why are you with him?"

Zhao Yiliang looked at the emperor's alert expression and couldn't help but sneer, "If the emperor had been so alert earlier, how could he be imprisoned in the imperial study?"

The emperor said angrily: "Let go..."

Before he could say anything about Fang Si, his mouth was suddenly blocked by Zhao Yiliang.

"If the emperor wants to let people from outside into the palace, you can shout louder."

Eunuch Deng glanced at Zhao Yilian and raised his hand to take the thing out of the emperor's mouth.

"Your Majesty, he is the regent's man. I am in the laundry department, and he has always been helping me."

Zhao Yiliang said: "I am not Xie Lingxiao's man, I am Shen Jingxuan's man."

Eunuch Deng said, "Your Majesty, now that you are imprisoned here, do you have any other way to escape?"

"How about I ask the Regent to help you think of a solution?"

Hearing Xie Lingxiao's name, the emperor pursed his lips and shook his head gently: "Wait a little longer and see what else Lu Zhong can do."

After hesitating for a moment, the emperor said, "Write a letter to the second prince, telling him that I am about to die, and ask him to come back and see me."

The eldest prince should have known about it, but he has never appeared, and there has been no news of him coming to the palace.

Eunuch Deng said, "I will go and deliver the message after I leave you. Your Majesty, do you have anything you want to tell the Regent?"

Now, all the civil and military officials in the court are meeting Xie Zihan in private, and it is unclear whether there is anyone who still stands on the side of the emperor.

The only person they can trust is the Regent.

But... ...

Eunuch Deng has been with the emperor for many years and knows what the emperor has done to Xie Lingxiao. Now he asks for help from the regent, but I wonder if he will help.

The emperor looked at the palace door for a long time and said, "Forget it, wait a little longer. Now is not the right time yet."

Xie Lingxiao was well-informed and must know what was going on at this moment. Seeing that he did not take any action, the emperor knew that he would not care about these things.

Eunuch Deng said anxiously: "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Yiliang saw that the two had been talking for a long time without mentioning anything useful, and felt that it was a waste of time.

"Since there are no arrangements, Your Majesty can continue to stay here."

"Eunuch Deng, let's leave quickly. If we wait too long we'll be discovered."

The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "You are Shen Jingxuan's man, do you have a way to meet her and the regent?"

Isn't this nonsense? He is a free agent, can't he go wherever he wants?

Zhao Yiliang was too lazy to pay attention to the emperor and pulled Eunuch Deng towards the inner hall.

The emperor hurriedly stopped him and said, "Can you help me bring something to the regent?"
