Quick Wear: My love-brained childhood sweetheart always asks me for a kiss

Song Xuanchu's face darkened. Song Shiyan could have issued the decree on his own, but he had to force him today. Everyone knew that Li Taifu was his uncle, and that Taifu's party was loyal to him and his mother. But this time, Li Taifu was obviously going to bring disaster.

Song Shiyan asked him to issue an order to arrest him this time, so he must be the one to issue the order to execute him in the future.

He even killed his own uncle who was loyal to him without any intention of protecting him. Who would dare to be loyal to him from now on?

His good uncle really knows how to set a trap for him.

But the evidence is solid and all the ministers are present. If he does not issue an order, he will be accused of covering up the crime.

Listening to Song Xuanchu's decree, Li Taifu felt disheartened.

Now that all power in the court is in the hands of the regent, he has long wanted to get rid of him. How could he let go of this handle?

Even without him.

The Minister of the Secretariat and the Minister of Revenue were enough to mobilize more than half of the officials to put pressure on the emperor to execute him.

All is lost...

After Li Taifu was dragged away, Zhongshu Ling finally showed a smile on his face. He had been annoyed with that old man for a long time, and now he really got what he wanted without any effort.

Judging from the prince's attitude, it may be difficult for the Li family to make a comeback.

Zhongshu Ling originally wanted to assist Song Xuanchu wholeheartedly. After all, his favorite daughter married Song Xuanchu as the queen.

But judging from his daughter's expression, Song Xuanchu had no intention of letting her get pregnant at all.

In the harem, favor is not the most important thing. Offspring are the foundation of one's status.

Even if she is the mother of a country, the only way to secure her position as queen is to rely on her offspring.

Without offspring, one is like a rootless duckweed.

The Chi family has clearly entered the Regent's Palace, but the emperor is still obsessed with it. How can a person who is obsessed with love be a ruler of a country?

His wife sent a letter to the palace last time and learned the details of her daughter's experience in the palace.

It would be fine if she didn't love him and didn't leave him with a child. Even if it was just an empty title, at least she still had the title of queen.

But no matter what, his Yu'er was still Song Xuanchu's first wife, who was married to him through three letters and six engagements.

He actually humiliated his own wife.

How could such a villain be worthy of his wholehearted assistance?

It would be better to sell the Regent.

After all, the court is now ruled by the Regent.

Now, Li Taifu is doomed. The only one the Queen Mother can rely on in the palace is her mother's family. Now that her mother's family has fallen, the Queen Mother is completely powerless.

He would like to see how that vicious woman would torture his precious daughter. And the emperor, if he humiliates her any more, don't blame him for not showing any last bit of affection between the emperor and his subjects!

The news that Li Taifu was dismissed from office and imprisoned soon spread to the harem.

At that time, the concubines had just returned from paying respects to the emperor in Ci'an Palace.

Only on the first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth, twentieth and twenty-fifth days of each month do you need to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.

The concubines didn't like to pay their respects to the empress dowager.

Because on weekdays, people would pay their respects to the Queen at noon.

But the Queen Mother had to get up at the hour of Mao, which was the time when the Emperor was going to the morning court.

Moreover, every time I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not nose. Kneeling on the ground and listening to her lecture for half an hour was considered short.

The Queen Mother was in a particularly bad mood today, and her words were particularly annoying. But after she heard the palace maids' whispered report, her expression changed and she asked them to leave.

The concubines felt relieved, but at the same time they couldn't help but be curious about what the palace maid reported.

Fortunately, the news came quickly.

It turned out that the Empress Dowager's brother, Li Taifu, was dismissed from office and imprisoned.

At this time, several low-ranking concubines gathered in Concubine Li's Yichun Palace.

Concubine Sun couldn't help but laugh out loud, "No wonder the Queen Mother looked so unhappy, it turns out something happened in her family."

Xu Zhaoyi covered her lips and chuckled, "The Li family is no longer what it used to be. Now only Li Taifu has some hope. If this one really fails, the Empress Dowager will..."

"The one who is most happy right now should be the Empress, right?" Concubine Fu smiled and touched the cards. "Usually we kneel for half an hour, but the Empress kneels for a full hour."

"That's right, the Empress is so miserable." Concubine Sun couldn't help but sigh, "The Queen Mother has been harassing her for not having a child. How long has the Empress been married? Besides, is it up to the Empress to decide whether to have a child or not?"

Concubine Li looked helpless, "You guys, this is just something I say here. But you must be careful with what you say and do outside."

Xu Zhaoyi smiled and pushed the cards flat. "Oh, thank you sisters."

Sun Jieyu couldn't help but widen her eyes, "How did you win again? Tell me the truth, did you hide the cards secretly?"

"One really shouldn't be too powerful, or else people will become suspicious of him." Xu Zhaoyi looked very proud.

Fu Guipin smiled and asked the palace maid to give the money to Xu Zhaoyi, "Don't worry, Sister Li Fei. We dare not say this to you."

Xu Zhaoyi couldn't help but sneer, "Even if it gets out, what does it matter? Now that the evidence is solid, the Li family can't deny it. Everyone knows that the regent has the final say in the palace now. When the Li family falls, what can the queen mother rely on?"

Concubine Sun and Concubine Fu did not dare to say anything. They all knew that Xu Zhaoyi's father, the Minister of Personnel, and her grandfather, Duke of Lu, were the regent's men. The emperor was therefore quite wary of her and had never favored Xu Zhaoyi.

However, there is actually nothing good about being pampered.

It just adds to the humiliation.

However, even if they resented the Emperor and the Empress Dowager in their hearts, they did not dare to say it too clearly.

Only Xu Zhaoyi dared to say this. After all, she had a good family background.

To say something extremely treasonous, even if this really reached the ears of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, they would not dare to do anything to Xu Zhaoyi. At most, they would slap her in the face or put her under house arrest. Even if she was banished to the cold palace, Xu Zhaoyi's mother's family would quickly find a way to get her out.

As for the death penalty, the Queen Mother and the Emperor do not have the capital to offend the Minister of Personnel and the Duke of Lu, two important officials in the court.

What's more, Xu Zhaoyi's brother married the daughter of Grand Secretary Fang some time ago.

Although the position of Grand Secretary is not high, his advantage is that his students are well-known and have a good reputation.

The Minister of Personnel is the head of the six ministers and has great power. The Duke of Lu is a veteran of three dynasties and holds military power.

Now he has climbed up to the extremely famous Fang family.

Before, many people thought that Xu should be the Empress Dowager.

But the Xu family followed the regent's lead. Even if his daughter really became the queen, the emperor would not trust her.

If the regent ascends the throne in the future, it would be embarrassing to have a deposed queen.

But the Xu family had to send a daughter into the palace.

We can only wait until the time is right to take him back.

Xu Zhaoyi had always hoped to go home. She was actually happy that the emperor did not summon her to sleep with him.

It also saves her the trouble of pretending to be sick to avoid favor.

In Fengyi Palace, Xie Qianyu was secretly analyzing the situation in the court.

Her father has always been neutral, which was also an important reason why the emperor chose her as the queen.

The Li family is a foreign relative, so it is impossible for them to stand on the side of the regent, and the regent will not trust them. They are closely related to the empress dowager and the emperor, and are on the same boat.

If the emperor is still the emperor, then the Li family can continue to hold on and survive by maintaining the title of Taifu.

Once the person sitting on top is replaced, the Li family will be massacred.

Therefore, even if the daughter of the Li family had not been exposed for framing her, the emperor would not have chosen the daughter of the Li family as the queen. At best, she would have been a concubine.

After all, the Li family has a clear position, so there is no need for the emperor to win them over.

Last night, Concubine Yun Shu was killed for no reason. Although everyone said it was done by an assassin, and now it is related to Master Li, Xie Qianyu still feels that this matter is not that simple.

Shufei is the only stupid person in the harem. She is infatuated with an unworthy man and refuses to look back.

I heard that the Regent Princess changed her clothes in the Xuanshi Hall yesterday, but changing clothes shouldn't take much effort, so why did she stay here all the time without coming out?

It is said that after leaving Taiji Hall, the Regent went straight to Xuanshi Hall and rode back to the palace with the Regent Princess.

A guess suddenly popped up in Xie Qianyu's mind.

Could it be that the fool Shufei plotted against the Regent Princess and was discovered by the Regent, so she lost her life...

Xie Qianyu felt a chill down her spine.

If this is true, then the assassination story is completely false.

But how could an assassin sneak into the heavily guarded palace?

Why did the assassin kill the people in the harem?

Just as the news came back said.

The assassin was originally going to kill him. Concubine Shu was just killed by mistake. Even if it was a mistake, it could still stir up a conflict between the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Minister of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue has been highly valued by the Emperor recently, and he seems to be intending to surpass the Li family.

The Li family has an old grudge against the Xie family, and they also dislike the Yun family.

It is reasonable to sow discord between the two families and reap the benefits.

I couldn't find any suspicious points.

Xie Qianyu wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.

If all this was planned by the Regent, then this person is more terrifying than he imagined.

And it seems that all this was caused by the Regent Princess.

Is the Prince Regent really so devoted to his princess?

Or is it that the Regent Princess is just an excuse?

Putting all these aside, in short, the Regent is a person who cannot be offended.

Fortunately, my father has been disappointed with the emperor recently because of me, and has intended to turn to the regent.

The Xie family is still safe for the time being.

But the same cannot be said for the Yun family.

The Ministry of Revenue is the money bag of the court, and the position of the Minister of Revenue is of vital importance. Even though the Concubine Shu is dead now, the Minister of Revenue has no reason to support the emperor, but he has already turned to the emperor before, and his defection can only prove that this person is unreliable.

And the most important point -

If Concubine Shu was really killed by the Regent, then the Regent would never accept the Yun Family as his power. After all, if the Yun Family knew the truth one day, they would only become a sharp blade aimed at the Regent's Palace.

The Regent wouldn't be that stupid.

He has no shortage of supporters, so there is no need for him to keep the explosive Yun family under his nose.

But if it is not used, it means it has to be removed.

The Yun family still values ​​Concubine Shu very much. If they allow the Minister of Revenue to continue to develop in the court, he might be difficult to control in the future.

Xie Qianyu couldn't help but sigh.

This day really changes so fast...

At this time, Ci'an Palace was already in a mess.

"Song Shiyan. Song Shiyan!" Empress Dowager Li screamed at the top of her lungs, "He actually treated me like this for that bitch!"

The palace maids and eunuchs all knelt on the ground and trembled. Some of the unlucky ones were even affected by the debris.

But even if the skin was scratched, no one dared to move.

Even if the Li family really fell, Li would still be the owner of Ci'an Palace and the empress dowager of Nanyue.

If you anger her, you will die.

"Madame Sun, what should I do now?" Empress Dowager Li subconsciously called out that name, but the moment she called out it, she realized that the confidant who had been with her for so long was no longer there.

Xi Yuan was a little worried, "The Queen Mother, please take care of yourself."

"The Li family is about to fall... How can I take care of myself?"

Song Shiyan was now the ruler of the imperial court. Although the emperor had married the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Minister of the Central Secretariat had been unwilling to express his opinion. She did not like Xie Qianyu, who looked like the same bitch Chi Tingwan, both of them were foxy.

If she hated Chi Tingwan as much as I did, maybe I could be more nice to her.

But even though she was treated like that by the emperor, she didn't blame Chi Tingwan at all.

She seemed to be only annoyed with the emperor and blamed only the emperor.

This made Empress Dowager Li even more unhappy. In fact, deep down in her heart, she knew that Xie Qianyu's idea was right. But she was unwilling to admit it.

Whenever she saw Xie Qianyu, she felt that she was highlighting how dark and vicious she was.

She occupied her niece's position as queen and hung around in front of her all day long, as if she was mocking her every day that she deserved her misfortune.

Why can she remain calm and not angry when being humiliated, and still remain as noble as before?

No, she couldn't do it. One day, she would become like me, the person her young self hated the most.

She doesn't have Chi Tingwan's good luck, but she will change, she will definitely change.

After the court session, Song Shiyan went straight to the palace. When he returned, Chi Tingwan's fever had almost subsided.

The government doctor said that the problem was discovered in time and the medication was given smoothly.

"Just wait for the princess to have a good sleep and rest, and everything will be fine."

Doukou and Peilan were both very happy.

Doukou stepped forward first and said, "Your Highness stayed outside the gate all night yesterday, and he went to court at dawn today. He must be very tired. Your Highness should go back to your room and have a rest. Peilan and I will take care of your princess. Peilan and I are grateful for everything your Highness has done for you. When your princess wakes up, I will report every word to the palace."

Song Shiyan was silent for a while.

That's not necessary. He is not the kind of person who seeks rewards for favors.

"Take good care of your young lady." After saying that, Song Shiyan left. He did not go back to his room to rest, but went to the study. The memorials on the table had piled up like a mountain, all waiting for him to deal with.

In fact, the people and ministers were not wrong. Except for not occupying the status of the emperor, what he did was actually no different from that of the emperor.

Qin Che walked in quickly with a smile, "Everything has been arranged at the Dali Temple. Your Highness's plan is truly brilliant. From now on, there will be no Li family in the court anymore."

"The Li family is finished, it's the Yun family's turn." Song Shiyan said indifferently.

"The Yun family has embezzled a lot of money from the court over the years." The Ministry of Revenue is the purse of the court, and its involvement is always necessary for all expenditures. All the money allocated to various places must pass through the hands of the Yun family.

The Yun Mansion’s private treasury is now almost catching up with the national treasury.

A greedy person will never have a good ending.

"But... Your Highness is taking advantage of the situation to get rid of Concubine Yun Shu. Is it really just to get rid of the Li family?" Qin Che asked cautiously.

"Of course, I never do anything without confidence. I also never act without plan because of the pressure from my superiors." He dared to get rid of Concubine Yun Shu in the palace openly because he had thought of a foolproof plan.

After the Li family was eliminated, the Yun family was next. It was inevitable that Concubine Yun would die, but now it was just a little earlier.

Although the Xie family was also involved in this matter, they did not suffer any actual losses.

The Xie family is upright and honest, and they are people who can be used.

"The prince said earlier that he wanted to assist the emperor well, and he also wanted the princess and the emperor to..."

"Let's talk about this later. It seems that I have misjudged him."
