On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

At this moment, Murong Yan stopped and said urgently, "Lin Zhen, the Zoroastrianism has already taken root in the south. They have a complex network of forces, numerous followers, and are very powerful. They are also colluding with officials. What should we do?"

"Your Majesty, this is exactly why I'm here. The prince has entrusted me with the command of three of the six Daqian guards, and I'm already investigating."

Murong Yan felt relieved upon hearing this, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, that's good."

Before she finished speaking, she inadvertently forgot the masculinity she had deliberately maintained and threw a coquettish look at Lin Zhen. The daughterly demeanor that was revealed in that instant made the air around them seem a little softer.

"You've already started working on it, why are you still being so secretive and not letting me know?"

Lin Zhen said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Palace is by no means monolithic. If there are Zoroastrians among the eunuchs and palace maids, the consequences will be disastrous. Furthermore, even if there are no Zoroastrians, there are certainly members of the Gu family. For the sake of the people of Daqian, I must act with caution."

"The Gu family?" Murong Yan's brows knitted together, a hint of disbelief in her tone. "Are you saying that Gu Beichen actually dared to plant spies in my palace?"

Lin Zhen's expression grew increasingly serious. "I seriously suspect the Gu family has connections with Zoroastrianism, but I have no evidence."

Murong Yan clenched her jade fists, her fingertips turning slightly white due to the force. The trust she had in the past now turned into full of resentment.

"Humph! I used to rely on them so much!"

After she finished speaking, her anger subsided slightly, her pink fist slowly loosened, and she extended a white jade-like palm towards Lin Zhen, saying in a shocking tone: "Give me the military power of the First Guard."

When Lin Zhen heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled helplessly and said: "Haha, Your Majesty, you know this is impossible."

"Why! How long do you, the Lin family, intend to keep me in the shadows?"

"Your Majesty, this is wrong! Military power represents more than just strength; it also concerns the safety of the nation and the stability of the country. If it is easily changed, it will likely cause unpredictable waves. Furthermore, the military power in the hands of the prince will definitely play a greater role than in your hands. Not to mention that the Lin family is completely loyal to Daqian. Therefore, there is essentially no difference between the military power in the hands of the prince and in your hands."

"Huh, I knew you would say that."

Maybe Murong Yan didn't really want it and was just testing it out, so she withdrew her hand and turned around, as if she didn't want Lin Zhen to see her gentle gaze.

"That's all. I feel at ease with you around."

Lin Zhen stared blankly at her graceful back, not knowing what to answer.

Are you saying that I am honored?

Forget it, this kind of nonsense is meaningless to women.

"From now on you will have to go to the palace every day."

Lin Zhen blurted out in surprise: "Ah? Why?"

At this moment, Murong Yan suddenly turned around again, bit her teeth lightly, her eyes moved, and she actually spoke in a woman's voice.

“This is your duty!”

After saying this, she left Huaqing Pool angrily.

Lin Zhen touched the back of his head, feeling a little confused.

Are you sick?

I'm not your boyfriend, why are you getting angry for no reason?

Hiss...boyfriend!?

Lin Zhen suddenly became alert.

Could it be that this woman really likes me?

Oh no, this is not good news. With Murong Yan's personality, if she really falls in love with me, what will happen to my concubines?

Even the princess doesn’t allow her husband to take a concubine, let alone the emperor?

Forget it, never mind. If Murong Yan dares to force me, I will... will... just give in to her... But we have to make it clear that the concubine cannot be abandoned, and she cannot stop me from taking a concubine, otherwise, forget it!

Murong Yan left without asking Lin Zhen to leave. He certainly wouldn't go and see her again and make things boring for himself, so he slowly walked out of the palace.

Halfway through the journey, he suddenly remembered that there should be an old friend here.

Princess Qingqiu, Chu Xiling.

At that time, he made a bet that if she lost, she would stay in the palace as a hostage of Daqian.

In the original book, Gu Beichen raped her in the palace, and then used sweet words and gave her advice. In the end, Chu Xiling suffered from Stockholm syndrome and fell in love with Gu Beichen, so she even ignored the country.

Alas, as expected, a cool article is just a cool article, and there is no logic at all.

Lin Zhen advised everyone to watch less in the future.

However, you may not see it in the future.

Because the talented people of this era are busy reading books of sages, who have the time to wonder whether the domineering president will fall in love with the fifty-year-old cleaning lady?

I must not follow Gu Beichen's idea, because in the original book, he is the protagonist, with all kinds of halos, and even sleeping with the empress is not a big deal, but I can't do that.

Seeing a eunuch with five palace maids walking past not far in front of him, Lin Zhen shouted, "Stop!"

This loud roar frightened the young eunuch so much that he almost peed himself. He quickly came over with a low bow and asked, "What are your orders, my Lord?"

"Where is Princess Qingqiu?"

"In Hengwu Courtyard."

"take me."

"Yes." The young eunuch turned around and said to the palace maids, "Go to the harem first and quickly arrange for the nobles to move in. Be smart! That big Chunlei is not to be trifled with!"

"Yes." The palace maids agreed and walked away.

The young eunuch took Lin Zhen to Hengwuyuan.

Speaking of Sima Chunlei, Lin Zhen just wanted to laugh.

Although he had never seen her in person, he had heard that this woman was as fierce as fire, as strong as an ox, and her big fat butt was like a water tank, which could definitely make Murong Yan sit to death.

Lin Zhen smiled and asked, "Eunuch, is today the day when the minister's daughter enters the palace?"

The young eunuch didn't even dare to raise his head when he spoke: "Your Excellency, it is a good idea. They all entered the palace directly through the side door at noon."

"Who is there?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I am only responsible for serving Miss Gu Zhen from the Prime Minister's family, Miss Sima Chunlei from the Imperial Censor's family, and Miss Wei Ruyu from the Censor Wei Tao's family. I know nothing about the other noble ladies."

Lin Zhen nodded. It seemed that this young eunuch was of a high rank, serving the daughters of high-ranking officials.

When I arrived at Hengwuyuan, I found that the scenery here was very unique. There were several green pines standing in front of the gate, and the gate was newly painted vermilion. The courtyard was not big, but it had everything you need, and there were royal guards on duty to guard it.

Seeing Lin Zhen coming over, the soldier saluted and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Well, open the door."

"Prince, no one is allowed to see Princess Qingqiu without His Majesty's order."

"what?"

Wasted trip?

That must be impossible!

Lin Zhen's expression changed instantly, and his tone was filled with unquestionable dominance: "Open the door! If anything happens, I will take responsibility."

"This..." The soldier looked at Lin Zhen in embarrassment. He found that this gentleman was glaring at him with murderous eyes, so he finally gritted his teeth and opened the door.

"Squeak."

A long sound seemed to pass through the cracks of time, separating the noise outside the door from the tranquility inside.

Behind the door is a courtyard decorated quite elegantly. A set of quaint tables and chairs are quietly placed in the center. A woman in pure white clothes is sitting there leisurely with her eyes closed, as if she is intoxicated by the gentle touch of the breeze, at peace with the world, peaceful and beautiful.
