After the separation, the space of Lingquan was filled up, and he was so angry that he went crazy

"The Marquis of Yong'an is in the limelight and has long eclipsed the Marquis of Zhongyong. Now there is no one who can suppress him in the court.

If he could marry Wan Ling, it wouldn't be a big worry, but..."

The Queen Mother stopped speaking before she finished her words, her expression was very complicated.

Aunt Fu asked puzzledly, "Isn't this good?"

The Queen Mother gently shook her head, holding her head with one hand, her eyes darkening.

The imperial court has an unwritten rule. In order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics and thus reduce the political risks for the princess and her husband's family, the prince-in-law is not allowed to have real power.

Once an official is selected to be a prince-in-law, he must resign from all official positions.

So she and the emperor both wanted Leng Xiaohan to be their consort.

First of all, Leng Xiaohan's foundation in the capital is still shallow. Even if he becomes the consort and gives him real power, he will not be able to cause any trouble. If he has different intentions, he can justifiably take away his power.

Secondly, after getting married, the relationship between Leng Xiaohan and the royal family will become closer. Especially after the princess gives birth to his children, she will have someone she can rely on when something happens to the court in the future.

Liu Zongbei is different from Leng Xiaohan. The Liu family is a family of military generals. At that time, Liu Zongbei's father Liu Yansong's reputation was second only to Leng Xiaohan's today.

Liu Yansong is already old, and although Liu Zongbei is also very good, and even passed the top three in both civil and military examinations, he was still outshone by Leng Xiaohan, so the Liu family is not worried now.

If Leng Xiaohan marries the princess, it goes without saying that he will be able to legitimately restrain him and prevent his family from becoming the dominant one. The Liu family and Leng Xiaohan checked and balanced each other.

But things went against expectations, Leng Xiaohan actually had a wife and children, so at this time, the Liu family could only let the Liu family marry the princess. The Liu family marrying the princess had different effects than Leng Xiaohan marrying the princess.

If the Liu family marries a princess, the Liu family, which is already a big family, can directly become relatives of the emperor.

Liu Zongbei was not as good as his father. It didn't matter whether he was an official or not. When the time came, the Liu family would be able to advance to a higher level, and Leng Xiaohan would not be alone in his glory.

When the late emperor was alive, the world was peaceful and the atmosphere in the court was not good, which led to the emphasis on civility and neglect of military affairs.

Therefore, after the great wars of the past few years damaged the Yu Dynasty's vitality, the imperial court was almost without any generals available, otherwise it would not have been the emperor's turn to fight in person.

Fortunately, Leng Xiaohan came out halfway, otherwise the great war in the past few years would have put the Yu Dynasty in danger.

Now everything is out of control, and the only thing left to do is to let the champion come to the rescue.

The Queen Mother knew very well that the emperor trusted Leng Xiaohan extremely, and the two had completely different ideas about letting Leng Xiaohan marry Jun Wanling.

Therefore, the emperor must not know what happened today.

Thinking about these messy causes and consequences, and the complicated relationships, the Queen Mother couldn't help but raise her hand and gently press her temples.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Fu immediately walked up behind the Queen Mother and gently pressed her.

The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes, her frown gradually relaxed, and she said helplessly, "After all, this child Ling'er has been spoiled by the Ai family, and he actually dares to do such a bold thing."

Aunt Fu looked sharply at the three people kneeling in the hall, and said in a calm tone: "Although the princess is pampered, her nature is pure, so naturally she cannot do such a thing..."

Grandma Kong shrank in fear.

The Queen Mother leaned back lazily, without opening her eyes. She only pursed her red lips slightly and said in an indifferent tone: "Pull it down, and you will be killed with a stick."

"The Queen Mother, please have mercy!!"

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, please spare my life..."

The three of them kowtowed frantically in fear and kept begging for mercy.

The Queen Mother looked indifferent, but the prayer beads in her hand kept twirling.

Aunt Kong was the most excited. She shouted: "The Queen Mother, I have been serving the princess for more than ten years. Everything is done for the princess, and there is absolutely no ulterior motives.

Please be merciful, old slave...wuwuwu..."

The guards who rushed in covered their mouths and pulled them all down.

The side hall suddenly became quiet.

The Queen Mother sighed; "The matter of Zhuangyuan Lang and Ling'er must not be hidden from the emperor, but the matter of Leng Palace cannot be known to the emperor. Only when they are dead can this matter be foolproof."

Aunt Fu remained silent and did not speak.

The Queen Mother continued: "Mama Kong has taken care of Ling'er for more than ten years, and she has done her best, but they cannot escape the blame for what happened tonight."

After hearing this, Grandma Fu said, "Mother Kong also has a son. I heard that he is married and has given birth to two grandsons.

Thinking of her hard work in serving the princess for many years, the old slave ordered people to give them more compensation..."

The Queen Mother curled her lips in satisfaction and responded softly, "Yes."

When Grandma Fu saw that her master was happy, her eyebrows also relaxed.

The master and servant had just breathed a sigh of relief when a loud shout suddenly came from outside.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and immediately sat up straight, her tired eyes full of sharpness.

Aunt Fu frowned and said, "Why is the Emperor here??"

The Queen Mother's expression returned to normal, she slowly sat back on the couch, and said calmly: "It's the same as coming in the morning and coming in the evening. The Ai family suddenly summoned me. I think that old guy Mo Wenhan had already noticed something was wrong.

It's not surprising that he would go to the emperor. After a little investigation, the emperor knew that the number one scholar was in the Moon Palace.

But now the deal is done, they will know it if they know it! "

Aunt Fu looked outside the side hall and asked in a low voice, "How should I explain this matter to the emperor?"

The Queen Mother just held the beads one by one and looked at the door of the outer hall with a calm expression.

After a while, Jun Wanjing strode in, lifted up his robe and knelt down and said, "My son, please pay your respects to your mother."

The Queen Mother's expression softened and she said with a smile, "No need to be polite, get up quickly!"

After Jun Wanjing stood up, he sat down at the bottom. Before he could speak, the Queen Mother said, "You are here for the No. 1 Scholar, right! But is that old guy Mo Wenhan looking for you?"

Seeing her straightforward question, Jun Wanjing asked directly, "Mother, why did you bring the Number One Scholar to Ling'er in the middle of the night?"

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, shook her head helplessly and said, "It's not your incompetent sister, she was poisoned."

"What?" Jun Wanjing stood up uncomfortably and asked worriedly, "How is Ling'er doing now? Mo Wenhan is outside the palace. My son called him in."

The Queen Mother still leaned on the couch and said softly, "Emperor, don't be impatient. Listen to Ai Jia slowly."

Jun Wanjing looked at her calm look and gradually calmed down. If something happened to Jun Wanling, his mother would not be so calm.

The Queen Mother held her head, looking like she had a severe headache.

"Your sister was so obsessed that she asked her servants to buy some love potions from outside the palace. She originally wanted to do something, but accidentally knocked over the porcelain bottle, causing herself to be poisoned..."
