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

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Lu Zhong instantly felt two pairs of eyes falling on him.

He looked at the Queen and Xie Zihan and his brows gradually furrowed.

Before he could speak, the emperor's voice rang out slowly: "That's right, Xie Zihan is not virtuous and is not popular among the people, and you, Prime Minister, have more than just one son."

"As far as I know, the Prime Minister's son is handsome and knowledgeable, and he is indeed the best candidate."

They want to make their own decrees, but they also want to see if there will be a fire in their backyard.

The Queen and Xie Zihan are not smart enough, so he will give them some advice, which will make them suspicious of Lu Zhong.

It doesn’t matter even if Lu Zhong can easily resolve it in the end.

The seeds of doubt had been planted, and he didn't care much about the final outcome.

When Lu Zhong heard the emperor's words, he lost his composure and yelled at the emperor: "Shut up, don't sow discord between us, you won't succeed."

Xie Zihan said coldly: "Father is right, you have a legitimate son in your house, and now you don't want to persuade the court officials, I'm afraid you have other plans."

He turned to look at the queen: "Mother, this is your mother's family. I was wondering why they were willing to make plans for you. Could it be that they really had other intentions?"

The queen was shocked by the emperor's words.

In the past, she had never cared about what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now that the Emperor and Xie Zihan mentioned it, she felt disgusted and broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that the two believed it, Lu Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be fooled by the emperor. He just doesn't want to issue an order to let Han'er supervise the country."

"He is trying to sow discord between us."

The queen was always soft-hearted when facing Lu Zhong and listened to Lu Zhong in everything. Now, after hearing his words, she immediately leaned towards Lu Zhong.

Her brother would not deceive himself.

Xie Zihan looked at Lu Zhong with cold eyes: "I hope you are telling the truth..."

Lu Zhong interrupted him hastily: "Han'er, you have to believe me, everything I do is for your sake."

Xie Zihan snorted at Lu Zhong and looked at the emperor again: "Father, you really can't issue an order?"

The emperor smiled faintly: "You know, nowadays, my orders have no effect at all in the court. They only listen to Lu Zhong's words."

Xie Zihan knew that every word the emperor said was true, but he still didn't give up until he got the imperial edict.

"Don't worry about whether it's useful or not, I just want this imperial edict."

The emperor glanced at him, closed his eyes and said no more.

He was right. Most people in the court had already submitted to Lu Zhong.

Although I don’t know whether they are doing this to protect themselves or to make plans for the future, this is a fact.

Seeing that the emperor was stubborn, Lu Zhong urged him, "Your Majesty should issue an order as soon as possible, so that others will not suffer as a result."

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Zhong laughed: "How to do it depends on whether the emperor is obedient."

After saying this, he waved his hand behind him, and the guard opened the palace door and brought a person to the imperial study.

The emperor looked up and saw the imperial concubine standing in the middle of the floor with a normal expression.

Lu Zhong raised the corner of his lips and said, "If the emperor does not want to issue an order, I will not force you, but I am afraid that the imperial concubine will suffer."

The imperial concubine said, "Prime Minister, there is no need to embarrass the emperor. I have been with the emperor for many years, and he has never favored me. How could he surrender for me?"

The birth of the eldest prince was an accident, and the emperor only made her a royal concubine out of consideration for her mother's family.

When Xie Zihan saw Lu Zhong using a woman to force the emperor, his brows gradually furrowed.

He never thought that Lu Zhong, as the prime minister, would use such despicable means.

Thinking that he was trying to help him, Xie Zihan did not scold him.

The emperor pursed his lips and said, "I underestimated the Prime Minister. As the Prime Minister of a country, you would resort to such means."

Lu Zhong said nonchalantly: "The method is not important, as long as it works, why not use it?"

The queen looked at the imperial concubine with secret hatred in her heart.

If she had not had a one-night stand with the emperor and later became pregnant with the emperor's child, how could she have done those things later?

If it weren't for the prosperity of her mother's family, which could help the emperor familiarize himself with state affairs more quickly and if she hadn't been loyal to the emperor, how could she have made one mistake after another?

"The Imperial Concubine is quite calm. Even at this moment, she still looks superior."

The imperial concubine said calmly, "Your Majesty, the Queen is really good at joking. This is my personality. How can it change with time?"

"In the past, I would think about changing for the emperor, so as not to displease him and vent my anger on the eldest prince."

"Now I have figured it out. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I cannot control their emotions, nor can I force others to like my personality, so I will not change."

After hearing what the imperial concubine said, the emperor knew that she was telling the truth, but it still made him feel uncomfortable.

In the eyes of the emperor, the imperial concubine is not just cold-hearted, she is even more cold-hearted.

Ever since the two of them had made love, he had visited the imperial concubine countless times, but she had coldly driven him away every time.

Sometimes I would be in a bad mood for several days because of what she said.

As time went by, Concubine Wan caught the emperor's eye, and he never visited the imperial concubine again.

The emperor felt bitter when he heard the imperial concubine's words. He thought back to the past and felt only sadness.

Although he had three thousand beauties in his harem, only a few of them were favored by him.

After so many years, Concubine Wan betrayed him, and her affair was discovered. She and her beloved committed suicide together. The Imperial Concubine was indifferent and didn't care about him at all, let alone which palace he lived in. The Queen...

The queen had an affair with her own brother, confusing the royal bloodline, and now they are joining forces to seize the throne.

It’s lonely at the top, and the emperor now truly understands what it means to be alone.

The queen looked at the imperial concubine as if she were a stranger. She had never seen such a imperial concubine before.

Lu Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to issue an order now."

Xie Zihan put away the disgust on his face and stared at the emperor intently, just waiting for him to draft the imperial edict quickly and leave the imperial study as soon as possible.

Before the emperor could speak, the imperial concubine laughed and said, "You are really ridiculous. How can you achieve your wish by threatening the emperor with an unfavored imperial concubine?"

The queen pursed her lips. The imperial concubine was right. From the beginning to the end, she was the least favored person in the entire palace.

Except for that one night of joy, the emperor had never stayed in the concubine's bedroom.

Lu Zhong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are favored or not. It just depends on what the emperor thinks. Besides, you are just the first one. If you are not good enough, there are others waiting behind you."

The imperial concubine raised her eyes and looked towards the emperor. She had been dull and cold since childhood, but the one the emperor saw after entering the palace was the one she had worked hard to change.

But even so, the emperor was still unhappy.

When their eyes met, the imperial concubine looked at the emperor and curled her lips into a faint smile. That smile was like a blooming flower, just as beautiful as when they first met.

Looking at such a concubine, the emperor was obsessed for a moment.

It turns out that after so many years, I have never forgotten what she looked like.

The imperial concubine watched the emperor's lips move slightly, and after a while, she suddenly bumped into the pillar beside her.
