The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

This matter will eventually be linked to Lu Zhaoling.

Zhou Shiyue had been mentally prepared for this. He was just a little surprised that it was Prime Minister Shen who brought it up.

In the past, Prime Minister Shen’s attitude towards him was unclear, but he generally would not talk to him directly in front of everyone. No matter whether it was good or bad, Prime Minister Shen always gave him the feeling that he was staying behind and observing silently.

So why did Zhou Shiyue hate Prime Minister Shen so much last week?

Zhou Shiyue looked at Prime Minister Shen and suddenly smiled.

"Old Shen, wouldn't it be better if you had done this earlier? If you have something to say, just speak it out in public. This king will appreciate you even more."

"puff!!!"

This time, Lord Chen really couldn't help himself.

I couldn't help it a bit.

No, Your Majesty, how did this "Old Shen" come out? After being with Miss Lu for a long time, she is indeed more straightforward and humorous.

Lin Rong's mouth twitched. Fortunately, he never showed much expression, or else he really couldn't help it.

Lin Rong was the only one who could hold it back, but there were still many people who couldn't hold it back like Lord Chen.

For a moment, there was a lot of noise in the hall.

The emperor sat on it, looking at his beloved ministers in the court, some of whom lowered their heads, some turned their heads away, some pursed their lips, and some shrugged their shoulders, all of them acting like they were having a seizure.

Prime Minister Shen almost failed.

But at this time, the emperor asked him, "Shen Aiqing, when did you become so close to Ayue?"

Old Shen.

Can this be shouted out by ordinary people?

Prime Minister Shen felt a chill in his heart.

I felt like my rhythm was disrupted all of a sudden, just because of these two words!

The emperor, a suspicious man to death, instantly shifted his attention from Lu Zhaoling to his relationship with Prince Jin.

After all, how big of a deal could Lu Zhaoling's trip to Weiming Mountain be? Even if she killed those young men from Jiangnan, how would that affect the emperor?

unimportant!

In the eyes of the emperor, what is more important is the relationship between the Prime Minister and Prince of Jin!

Prince Jin is such a sinister, cunning and shameless guy!

In the past, he thought that it would be great to have such a person as his son-in-law, but now he is on the enemy side and he wants to kill King Jin.

"Your Majesty, before Prince Jin returned to the capital this time, I hadn't seen him for many years."

Prime Minister Shen sighed, "However, as far as I can remember, the King of Jin has never really liked me."

Not familiar with each other, haven’t seen each other for a long time, and I hate him.

Prime Minister Shen felt that he had to distance himself from Prince Jin.

"Oh, is that so?" the emperor asked indifferently.

Zhou Shiyue looked nonchalant, "Oh, yes, yes."

This tone and attitude are really annoying, it doesn't sound very serious!

The more he did this, the harder it was for the emperor to dispel his doubts.

"Ayue, you don't like Shen Aiqing?"

Zhou Shiyue spread his hands, "It doesn't matter whether I like him or not, but Old Shen seems to like me very much, otherwise that incident wouldn't have happened when I just returned to Beijing and was in the imperial study, don't you think so, my brother?"

What happened in the Imperial Study?

Prime Minister Shen’s brain started working rapidly. How could he not know?

But the emperor understood it all at once.

Didn't the Prince of Jin go to the Imperial Study to ask for the imperial decree for marriage on the day he arrived in Beijing? But at that time, Shen Xiangjun also came with the Queen Mother, wanting to marry the Prince of Jin.

The emperor immediately started to think too much. If Prime Minister Shen didn't like Prince Jin, how could he allow his daughter to be so devoted to Prince Jin and want to marry Prince Jin from childhood to adulthood?

If Prime Minister Shen did not agree, he would have arranged a marriage for Shen Xiangjun long ago. How could he have kept her until now?

Prince Jin is consistent in his words and deeds. He has always maintained this attitude towards Prime Minister Shen and is unwilling to marry Shen Xiangjun. But why does Prime Minister Shen do this?

Originally, it would be the most appropriate for the prime minister's daughter to marry the prince.

However, the Emperor himself did not like Crown Prince Zhou Ze and was unwilling to let him marry Shen Xiangjun. He also did not want him to have the support of his wife's family so early, so he did not grant the Crown Prince a marriage.

Why is Prime Minister Shen doing this?

The emperor's thoughts suddenly expanded.

"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Shen thought for a while and realized that his daughter loved Prince Jin, so he immediately spoke, "I am ashamed that my fatherly heart got the upper hand, which is really wrong."

This is putting the blame on his daughter, because his daughter likes Prince Jin, so he has no choice.

"Prince Jin already has a princess. This time, I am concerned about Young Master Jiangnan's case, firstly to relieve Your Majesty's worries, and secondly, because I want to find a good match for my daughter. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for this."

Lin Rong was a little surprised.

Prime Minister Shen is really generous—his daughter.

Does this mean that Miss Shen and Prince Jin no longer have any chance, so he wants to see Young Marquis Zhou?

Many people understand the emperor's thoughts. He will not marry Shen Xiangjun to the prince, at least not now.

Although he wanted to marry Shen Xiangjun to the second prince, after careful consideration, he probably felt that it was more important to have the second prince closely connected with the border generals.

The emperor is still very confident that he can control the civil officials in this court.

Therefore, the emperor chose Qiu Yunzhen as the second prince's principal wife.

It would be best if Shen Xiangjun could delay getting married and wait until the Second Prince has a chance to become the Crown Prince.

But now it seems that Shen Xiangjun won’t be able to delay for much longer.

It is impossible for the emperor to let such a beautiful young lady delay her marriage, so sooner or later he will grant her a marriage.

When Prime Minister Shen mentioned Zhou Muchiao, it must be said that he touched the emperor's heart.

Zhou Muchiao no longer has any power and can only rely on the emperor or the prince. The emperor has always treated him like his son, so Zhou Muchiao must be loyal to the emperor.

If Shen Xiangjun marries Zhou Muchiao, it means that Prime Minister Shen's power will still be in the hands of the emperor.

This mention really made the emperor happy.

"Lord Shen is truly a loving father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am terrified."

Lin Rong saw Prince Jin curl the corners of his lips slightly without leaving any trace.

His heart was moved. Could it be that this was within the range expected by the King of Jin? Was it also the result that the King of Jin wanted to see?

If that was true, then Prince Jin had a very accurate grasp of the Emperor and Prime Minister Shen's thoughts. After all, Prince Jin didn't say much!

He heard the King of Jin say in a casual tone, "So many people died, so we have to investigate thoroughly. Now that Prime Minister Shen has set his sights on Zhou Muqiao as a candidate for his son-in-law, we must do our best to clear him of the responsibility."

"Prince Jin!"

Prime Minister Shen felt that he was provoked by Prince Jin, which was not a good thing.

He took a deep breath and calmed down his anger.

"Ask Lord Lin if this matter has nothing to do with Young Marquis Zhou?"

"Your Majesty," another minister came out at this time, "I have something to report."

Zhou Shiyue took a look.

Oh~

Aren’t they from Shu Ge Lao’s faction?

Since they are from the Shu Ge Lao faction, they naturally want to talk about the affairs of Lishan.

Just as the emperor was about to speak, Zhou Shiyue raised his hand.

"Royal brother, why don't you talk about Lu Zhaoling first? This monkey is so capable!"
