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

Xie Lingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and looked at the emperor quietly.

The emperor saw the indifference and alienation on his face and sighed: "Bring the child to me when you have time."

"Okay." Xie Lingxiao responded and walked out of the hall.

He promised the emperor that he would bring the child into the palace, but he would not really do that.

The emperor's abnormality only made him more vigilant. He was too busy staying away from the palace to bring the child into it.

Xie Lingxiao walked out of the palace and the empress dowager was already waiting in the carriage.

"Ah Xiao, how is the emperor?"

Seeing that the queen mother had a pretty face and didn't seem to be treated harshly, Xie Lingxiao said softly, "Let's talk about it when we get home."

After he finished speaking, he ordered Ling Feng to drive the carriage back to the Regent's Palace.

Seeing that Xie Lingxiao had not returned home for a long time, Shen Jingxuan kept asking Ling Huan to go to the gate to check.

Hearing that Xie Lingxiao had returned home, she hurried out.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Xie Lingxiao and the Queen Mother walking side by side, and he quickly went to greet them.

Shen Jingxuan bowed and said: "Empress Dowager..."

The Queen Mother helped her up before she knelt down and said, "No need to greet each other, we are all family."

Xie Lingxiao pulled Shen Jingxuan to his side and walked towards the room together.

As soon as she stepped into the room, the empress dowager was attracted by the two little guys on the bed and walked quickly towards the bed.

Looking at the two children wrapped in fur quilts, the Queen Mother's eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Two is good. The more children the better."

After she finished speaking, the Queen Mother's tears slowly rolled down.

She thought that if Xie Lingxiao could find the woman of his dreams and marry her, he would have completed his mission.

Later, when I arrived in the underworld, I met the late emperor and the late empress, and they gave me an explanation.

Now that Xie Lingxiao has a child, if they knew, they would definitely regret not living a few more years and seeing him get married and have children.

It was the first time Shen Jingxuan saw the empress dowager like this and she didn’t know how to persuade her.

She turned her head to look at Xie Lingxiao and saw him staring at the Queen Mother without saying a word. Shen Jingxuan stood aside silently.

When Ling Feng and Ling Chen arrived at the room, the Queen Mother had already adjusted her mood and was holding Xie Boxu tightly, refusing to let go.

Seeing the two people coming in a hurry, Xie Lingxiao walked out.

The Queen Mother said, "Let's talk about it here, and let me hear what happened."

How could she, who was able to sit on the position of empress dowager, be compared to those women?

Ling Feng looked at Xie Lingxiao and saw him nodding slightly at him, so he had no choice but to tell him the news he had received one by one.

Shen Jingxuan was surprised and asked, "Are the Queen and Xie Zihan a little anxious to meet the Emperor at this time?"

Xie Lingxiao had just taken the empress dowager out of the palace, and the imperial concubine had also gone to the eldest prince's residence. Now in the palace, the emperor was the most important person.

Shen Jingxuan didn't expect that just after Xie Lingxiao ordered Xie Ziling to send Eunuch Deng back to the emperor, Lu Zhong couldn't wait to lock him up.

Xie Lingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly: "With what happened in the morning court, how could the old officials of the Ministry of Justice not see the clues in the palace?"

"They forced Xie Zihan and Lu Zhong to the palace gate first because they knew that Xie Zihan and Lu Zhong would not let them go."

"Now that they know that the emperor's obsession with the harem is fake, for the sake of their lives and property, they will not continue to stand on Xie Zihan's side."

Did Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan want to burn their boats and fight with all their might?

The Queen Mother stared at Xie Boxu and said softly, "Xie Zihan is not a royal heir. Now that his identity has been exposed, they will not give up that position easily."

As the Empress Dowager said, Lu Zhong and the Queen have been planning for many years, so why would they stop?

At this moment, Lu Zhong was looking at the emperor with red eyes, waiting for the emperor's next decision.

The guards around Xie Zihan stood beside the emperor, not allowing him to move at all.

The queen stared at the emperor nervously, and seeing that he did not move, she urged him, "Your Majesty, please put your imperial seal on it, so that you will not suffer."

The emperor looked quietly at the desk, where the empress and Lu Zhong had already prepared the imperial edict for succession.

He underestimated the ambitions of Lu Zhong and the Queen.

The emperor thought that after what happened in the morning, they would stop being so cautious and behave themselves for a while, and he would have more time to prepare.

I didn't expect them to be so anxious.

When the emperor thought about it carefully, he felt that what they did was justified.

The only support of the Queen and Xie Zihan is the Prime Minister's Mansion. If they do not take the initiative, the outcome of the Prime Minister's Mansion can be imagined.

Xie Zihan flipped through the imperial study room several times but still didn't find what he wanted, and he became more and more annoyed.

"Father, I will ask you one last time, where is the imperial seal?"

He may not stamp his seal on the imperial edict of succession, but he must get the imperial seal.

Without the imperial seal, even if he ascended the throne, it would be illegitimate.

The emperor looked at the imperial edict and laughed loudly: "Han'er, how has your father treated you since you were a child?"

Xie Zihan rubbed his forehead lightly and slammed his hands on the desk.

"Where is the imperial seal?"

The emperor looked at him and slowly leaned back in his chair: "I have many children, but you and Zi'an and Ziling are the only adult princes."

"Zi'an is devoted to business, while Ziling likes to travel around. If you behave yourself, the throne will be yours."

"As long as the Queen and Lu Zhong keep a low profile and don't let me notice anything, everything will go smoothly."

"But you are impatient."

Lu Zhong and the Queen knew that every word the Emperor said was true, but it was too late to say it now.

Xie Zihan drew out the guard's sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the emperor's neck: "I don't want to hear this, I just want to know where the imperial seal is."

Now that he has nowhere to retreat, he cannot give up all his previous efforts.

The emperor seemed not to notice the sword in front of him. He raised his eyes to look at the queen and said, "Won't the queen persuade the prince?"

"Your Majesty, it would be better if you take the initiative to take out the imperial seal."

She had already persuaded them for a long time before coming. If Xie Zihan had really listened to their advice, they would not be standing here.

Lu Zhong took a few steps forward and came to the desk: "The emperor's days are numbered, what are you so obsessed with?"

"Take out the imperial seal. I promise you that as long as the first and second princes behave themselves, I will spare their lives."

When the emperor heard that he would not live long, his face remained calm and he looked at Lu Zhong quietly.

"It seems that you are determined to get the throne?"

"In that case, Prime Minister, why don't you tell me how long I can live?"

When the queen saw the emperor, she was still so calm even though she knew she was about to die, and she turned her head to look away.

They have been married for many years, and no one knows better than her how much the emperor cares about her life.

But at this moment he didn't care at all.

Lu Zhong smiled and looked at the emperor: "Three months at most."

Hearing Lu Zhong's words, the emperor said softly: "Three months..."

Only three months left? But he still had a lot to do.

The emperor stared at the door of the imperial study for a long time, and then his voice rang out slowly: "I can give you the imperial seal, but I want to see the regent again."
