"The queen hasn't eaten yet. Let's have a few drinks together. I just happened to chat with the queen about recent events. I believe the queen must be interested."

Wang Zhong put his arms around Zhao Luan's waist, and the maids and eunuchs in the back lowered their heads in a sensible manner, and slowly retreated.

Zhao Luan's face was shy, and she said gently: "The concubine is going to the imperial dining room, and prepares some dishes and wine that the emperor likes to eat."

"No need, I know you will come back today, and the food and drink have already been prepared."

"Ah, is the emperor waiting for his concubine here on purpose?"

Zhao Luan was moved for a while, she felt that although this trip was tiring, it was worth dying of exhaustion to be loved so much by the emperor.

"Hey, Empress, you have worked so hard for me, what is it that I wait for you? It's too late to hurt you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Luan blushed and let Wang Zhong support her to sit on her seat.

After a while, the people in the imperial dining room brought dinner.

Today's dinner Wang Zhong prepared a lot for the purpose of rewarding the queen.

After a table of dinner was set, Zhao Luan said in surprise, "Your Majesty, if it's just us eating, will we eat too much?"

"Not much, not much at all. The queen is my favorite woman, and I still think there are too few of them."

Just as he was talking, a court lady came in with a drink: "Your Majesty, this is a drink specially prepared by the Imperial Dining Room."

The maid came over and poured wine for Wang Zhong.

After the food was ready, a young eunuch walked in, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and began to try.

In order to prevent himself from being murdered again, Wang Zhong now has a little eunuch to taste for him before every meal.

Make sure it's not poisonous before he eats.

The little eunuch picked up a small piece of fish and ate it a few times, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Immediately, he was ready to take the wine in the hand of the maid for a test drink.

But at this moment, Wang Zhong realized something was wrong.

The maid in front of her didn't have any respect for him in her eyes, instead she suddenly looked straight at him.

This made Wang Zhong feel alert.

Sure enough, the next moment, the court lady kicked the little eunuch away, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from her long sleeve, and stabbed straight at the king.

"Tyrant, take your life!"

It happened so suddenly, only the young eunuch, Wang Zhong and Zhao Luan were in the house.

Even if the Ouchi guards outside noticed something was wrong, it was already too late.

This court lady was clearly determined to assassinate Wang Zhong, and she shot straight at Wang Zhong's heart.

Wang Zhong is not in a hurry, and he is not the time when he just came here. Such a long training has given him the power to protect himself.

"Your Majesty, be careful..."

Zhao Luan took the lead and threw the wine glass at the palace lady's face.

The palace maid backed away after being smashed, and when she lost her face in panic, Zhao Luan had already arrived!

At this moment, Zhao Luan was extremely angry. Someone in the palace wanted to assassinate the emperor, and he was still in her mansion after eating a bear's heart and leopard's guts.

Zhao Luan was originally the queen of the gate, and with a little kung fu, Zhao Luan, who was furious, came down in front of the maid in twos and began to fight.

"Help, help..."

The little eunuch who was trying to eat also reacted and shouted anxiously.

"Bang bang..."

The guards outside rushed in and surrounded the moment in a blink of an eye.

"Tyrant, you will perish..."

After the maid yelled this sentence, she seemed to know that she was bound to die, and there was no hope of killing Wang Zhong.

She suddenly threw a piece of poison into her mouth, foaming from her mouth in the blink of an eye.

"Queen, are you all right?"

Wang Zhong pulled Zhao Luan back.

Zhao Luan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine is guilty, I never thought there would be an assassin here."

"It's not your fault, come here, call the people from the imperial dining room!"

This maid came here with food from the Imperial Dining Room, the problem lies in the Imperial Dining Room!

"Your Majesty, are you alright, Your Majesty..."

Soon, He Taigao rushed in.

Wang Zhong waved his hand: "Big Companion, I'm fine, strictly investigate the people in the imperial dining room."

"Old slave obeys!"

He Taigao was worried for a while, because it was getting late, he went to rest first, leaving only the little eunuch here, he did not expect this to happen.

Then he went out to investigate in person, and all the people in the imperial dining room were brought in, but they had nothing to do with them. It was very simple, because in the garden that came over, the guards found the body of a court lady.

This court lady is the one who actually delivers the wine in the Imperial Dining Room.

"This assassin seems to be from outside."

He Taigao said.

"Hmph, those treacherous ministers, seeing that I have begun to deal with the government affairs, want to poison me to death."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhong suddenly smiled: "However, this is also an opportunity."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean..." He Taigao was puzzled.

"Announce, I was assassinated and seriously injured. At the same time, it was found out that the assassin was sent by Shen An's family."

"Shen An's family has a grudge, and they sent Mo Mo to assassinate them, with deliberate suspicions, and arrest the entire Shen family..."

Wang Zhong thought very clearly that he was seriously injured, and used this to avoid the early court, lest the group of ministers wanted to force him to do something again.

As for copying Shen An's house, his original plan was to let Zhang Dongliang, the new minister of punishment, investigate slowly.

But that was too slow.

After this investigation, he was worried that the Shen family would transfer their property.

So they simply did not do two rests, and copied the Shen family.

Now that the Shen family has no backbone, even if he is moved, there will be no big waves. With the current strength in his hands, it is enough!

After He Taigao withdrew, Wang Zhong laughed and said, "Queen, let's continue drinking."

"How about the concubine go and change all the food and wine?"

"Don't bother."

"The concubine pours wine for the emperor..."

Zhao Luan poured the wine, the more Wang Zhong looked at Zhao Luan, the more satisfied he was.

The former emperor Luo Zhao was simply a villain. This Zhao Luan not only has long legs, but also is capable of writing and martial arts. He is simply a perfect virtuous wife.

Luckily, Luo Zhao has neglected Zhao Luan for so long.

"The queen's kung fu is good, who did you learn from?"

"Master is the general in father's account."

Speaking of this, Zhao Luan suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have an unfeeling request, and I ask the Emperor to agree."

Let him agree directly, it seems that this matter is very important to Zhao Luan.

"what's up?"

Chapter 623

Zhao Luan hurriedly said: "Going back this time, I got a piece of news that my father's previous account was suddenly brought up by a general, and he encountered a big trouble..."

Then Zhao Luan began to tell.

It turned out that Mengti was over 50 years old. After the death of Zhao Luan's father, Mengti was pushed out of the army by villains, and finally became an ordinary person.

But I didn't expect that the former political opponents would not let Mengti go. Not long ago, someone framed Mengti for corruption in the army before, so Mengti was taken into prison.

Naturally, Mengti's family would not sit back and watch Mengti be beheaded, so they asked someone to ask Queen Zhao Luan for help.

When Zhao Luan heard the news, he immediately told Wang Zhong.

"Your Majesty, Mengti is loyal to His Majesty. He is upright, good at the art of war, and has made countless military exploits. He is dead. I am worried that my former subordinates will be chilled. I ask His Majesty to intervene in this case..."

"How long will this case go to trial?" Wang Zhong asked.

"Half a month later, the case will be arraigned by Governor Lu Pingying."

"Well, I see."

Wang Zhong nodded approvingly, Zhao Luan's ability to save Mengti showed his absolute trust in Mengti.

The military power he has now is just not enough, if he can have a few generals to help, then a few rebellious officials and thieves will not be feared.

..............................

The next day, news broke that the emperor had been assassinated and seriously injured.

Lu Mansion!

Lu Zhongbo went to the morning court today, but came back after learning the news of the emperor's assassination.

Although it was said that the emperor was injured, Lu Zhongbo was not happy at all.

Because the assassin belonged to him, but the emperor was only injured, not dead!

Fortunately, although the assassin was his, the assassin didn't know that it was him who sent her out.

Moreover, these assassins were dead men, so he didn't have to worry about anything for the time being.

"Father."

A young man walked in in a panic.

"Why are you panicking, baby?"

"Just now, people from the Ministry of Justice suddenly surrounded the Shen family. It is said that an assassin stabbed the emperor yesterday. The assassin's confession was instructed by the Shen family. The Shen family held a grudge against Shen An's death, so they assassinated the emperor..."

Lu Zhongbo clenched his fist, but others didn't know it. As soon as he heard this, he knew that someone was messing with Shen's family.

Because the assassin is his man.

But he couldn't jump out and object.

Lu Zhongbo sat down helplessly: "We may have underestimated the emperor, but unfortunately the queen mother is under house arrest, otherwise he will have a hard time. What should we do next?"

"Father, the emperor made it clear that he wants to deal with us, and now he is removing our people step by step, otherwise, we will force the palace..."

"no!"

Lu Zhongbo immediately vetoed this proposal: "Although I have a lot of helpers in the court, I have not fully controlled the military power, especially the Imperial Forest Army and the defenders in the city. If we force the palace, our whole family will die!"

The former emperors only knew how to have fun, so they didn't care about their corruption and breaking the law.

But the reason why Lu Zhongbo has never dared to seek power and usurp the throne is because the military power is not in his hands.

"Yes, I know what to do."

Lu Zhongbo's eyes lit up: "Isn't the emperor injured, so he sent the imperial doctor in."

"Father, what do you mean, let the imperial doctor..."

"Boy, you're so stupid, this kind of thing, don't tell me if you see it through..."

"The child understands!"

Both father and son laughed wickedly.
