The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

"How do you say this?" The second prince clasped his hands together to support his chin, his eyes gradually became darker, and there was a gloom in his heart.

"When something happens to Concubine Yue, who benefits the most? Of course it's the prince. He has been grudged against you for a long time. Seeing that the princess of Qianye Kingdom wants to marry you, how can he not hold a grudge? Now Concubine Yue is being killed by your majesty. Not to mention the punishment and the ban, even if the ban is lifted later, it will be difficult for her to see him without His Majesty's summons."

"His Highness has lost a powerful helper in the palace, Concubine Yue. It will be more difficult than before to win favor from His Majesty." Lu Heng expressed his worries.

"Huo Yunjing, this bastard, actually came up with this idea!" The second prince was so angry that he overturned the ornaments on the desk to the ground, his eyes full of anger and hostility.

"Your Highness, please calm down. Now let's secretly find out who was behind today's incident. If it is indeed found out that it was the Crown Prince who did it, I will make suggestions for your Highness to fight back!" Lu Heng bowed and saluted.

The cold and solemn look in the eyes of the second prince became more intense. After pondering for a moment, he shouted coldly at the door: "Come here, check it out for me!"

"Yes!" The secret guard knelt down and clasped his fists in response.

In the East Palace, the prince sat indifferently, playing with a piece of sapphire in his hand.Seeing Grand Tutor Wang Mingqi come in, he quickly put away the sapphire and stood up to greet him.

"Uncle, you are here."

"Old minister, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wang Mingqi saluted him. The Crown Prince quickly held his hand to stop him and said, "Uncle, there is no need to be restrained in this palace, and there is no need to be too polite."

"The prince is the heir, and etiquette must be indispensable. If someone with an intention finds out about the old minister's book, your majesty will definitely blame him. Please also ask your highness the prince to let the old minister finish the ceremony." Wang Mingqi reminded him with a serious face.

The prince had no choice but to give up. Wang Mingqi saluted him again, then respectfully stepped aside and stood up straight.

"Uncle, are you here because of what happened in the palace today?" the prince asked gently.

"The veteran has heard what happened in the Royal Garden today and is very surprised. But if you think about it carefully, Concubine Yue has been domineering in the harem for many years. She doesn't even pay attention to the empress, and she has made many enemies."

"It's not surprising to be punished by His Majesty now. It's just that I can't figure out who was behind what happened today?"

The prince pondered for a moment and replied in an indifferent tone: "I am also very curious. It is a clever method to make this matter watertight and let my father successfully suspect Concubine Yue and the second prince."

"It is said that a snake can't be beaten, but his move has pushed Concubine Yue and the second prince directly to the forefront. Tomorrow morning, let's have someone read a few more books, and also give a good beating to my second brother who disrespects his elder brother. !”

The prince snorted coldly, feeling dissatisfied with the second prince for a long time.He was always against him, and Emperor Yao also valued him very much. He was involved in many important events in the court.

Now, in order to get the help of Qianye Kingdom, he wants to marry the princess and become his concubine. In this way, the second prince's backers will become bigger and bigger, putting his position as the prince in jeopardy. Thinking of this, the prince can't help but feel a little bit in his heart. Worry.

"Your Highness must not do this. If you call the Second Prince Ginseng and Concubine Yue at this time, it will only make His Majesty suspect that you are deliberately framing and suppressing them."

"Doing this will only make us lose more than we gain, and it will not do us any good. I think it is better for Your Highness to wait and see what happens next and see what the second prince's reaction will be next." Wang Mingqi suggested with a serious face.

The prince thought for a moment and felt that what he said made sense, and then nodded in agreement.

"However, I think we should investigate the person behind this. Whether he is an enemy or a friend, at least his purpose is the same as ours, which is to eradicate Yue Fei and the second prince. If he can join forces with us Deal with them together, and you will no longer be afraid of them turning over." The prince's eyes lit up in vain, with some expectation.

After the prince finished speaking, Wang Mingqi reminded him seriously:

"Your Highness, it is safer to act cautiously. Concubine Yue made Your Majesty angry today, and anyone else would have been executed long ago. However, His Majesty only ordered a grounding, which shows that His Majesty is still a little wary of Qian Yeguo behind Concubine Yue, so he would have been punished by others. She showed mercy.”

The prince listened to his analysis and agreed very much.His brows were a little colder, his thoughts became a little complicated, and he didn't know where to start.

After a while, he raised his eyes and asked, "Are we just going to wait like this?" He was still a little unwilling and wanted to give the second prince a fatal blow.

"We can only wait and see His Majesty's attitude before making any plans." Wang Mingqi replied without hesitation.

"Just follow uncle's advice, I will wait patiently." The prince had no choice but to give up.

"Then I will take my leave first."

"Uncle, walk slowly. The road is slippery late at night. Please pay more attention to your steps."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Wang Mingqi said goodbye to him, turned around and left.At the entrance of the palace, he saw a person from the Taishi Bureau being led by a eunuch.

"I've met Taifu." The man held a wooden box in his hand and bowed his head to greet him.

"What is this?" Wang Mingqi looked at the wooden box in confusion and asked.

"Back to Taifu, there has been a severe drought in Lianzhou recently. Your Majesty will set up an altar to pray for rain, and ordered the Taishi Bureau to choose an auspicious day. Today, Taishi ordered me to present the calculation results to His Highness the Crown Prince." The man replied.

"I see, let's go in quickly." Wang Mingqi withdrew his gaze and walked away.

At this time, the sky was already dark and the starlight was obscured.Only the crescent moon still hung above the sky, emitting a faint light through the hazy clouds.

Tan Tang came out of the East Palace and prepared to return to the Taishi Bureau.At this time, a eunuch hurriedly called him.

"Young Master Tan, His Majesty has ordered you to go to Changyang Hall for questioning."

"I obey the order, please lead the way, father-in-law." Tan Tang bowed and replied, following the eunuch towards Changyang Palace.

Walking on the long and narrow palace road, Tan Tang felt a little uneasy.At this time, the surroundings were dark, and only the footsteps of him and the eunuch walking in front could be heard quietly.

The palace lantern carried by the eunuch kept dangling in front of his eyes, making him feel a little dizzy.

Ning Ziqing's face, as cold as the bright moon, appeared in his mind again. He was so pure and flawless, with a peerless face that was not touched by the world. Why was he so calculating about people's hearts?

Tan Tang took a long breath, composed himself, and sorted out his thoughts.He began to think about how to organize his words and behave calmly in front of His Majesty, so as not to reveal any flaws.

As the road ahead became brighter and brighter, the two of them walked into Changyang Hall one after another.

The eunuch bowed at the door of the palace and replied: "Replying to your majesty, Young Master Tan has arrived."

"Let him come in and close the door." Emperor Yao's rich voice came from inside.

"Yes." The eunuch motioned for Tan Tang to come in. Tan Tang straightened his official uniform, walked in respectfully, and knelt in the hall to salute Emperor Yao.

"I see your majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

"Get on your feet, didn't Taishi Ling come into the palace today?" Emperor Yao held his forehead, looking exhausted.

"Your Majesty, the sky has been abnormal recently. Tai Shiling is busy observing the stars. Also, due to the severe drought in Lianzhou, I am unable to get away from setting up an altar to pray for rain. Please forgive me." Tan Tang bowed his head and replied.

"You said there was a strange phenomenon in the sky?" Emperor Yao frowned, obviously feeling a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, there is a bright star moving in the northern sky recently. The Taishi Bureau is observing and recording it, and the results will be available soon."

"Liangxing? Why did I hear rumors that there is a demon star appearing in the world?" Emperor Yao's face darkened slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"This... rumors cannot be fully believed. I believe that the theory of astrology should be viewed from a correct perspective." Tan Tang pondered for a moment and replied calmly.

"only......."

"Just what?" Emperor Yao couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw that his expression was a little more solemn and he hesitated to speak.

"Back to Your Majesty, the direction of this bright star is right on the border between Qianye Kingdom and Nanyao Kingdom. Recently, there have been some abnormalities in many border cities, which makes people a little more worried."

"Furthermore, judging from the current calculated star orbit, this bright star will gradually fly from the north to the east, and bring bolides through the sky above Kyoto. It may cause great threats and dangers to Kyoto. Your Majesty, please Prepare early to avoid any unexpected events." Tan Tang explained, his tone sounding calm and objective.

"You said this bright star will fly over Kyoto from the north to the southern Yao Kingdom?" After hearing what he said, Emperor Yao's face instantly became gloomy, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, yes. But this is just a normal astrological change. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. As long as you take precautions, there will be no problems." Tan Tang still lowered his head, his expression was slightly nervous, and blood was already oozing from his palms. Breaking into a thin sweat.

Emperor Yao listened silently and did not speak again. After a while, he saw a dark cloud on his face and whispered with a complicated expression.

"I know, you step back!"

"I excuse myself." Tan Tang exited the Changyang Palace with relief, thinking that Emperor Yao did not doubt him. He looked happy and walked quickly towards the palace gate in a good mood, preparing to meet Huo Yunjue and Ning Ziqing.
