Chapter 1062 Suspicious Lu Huiqing
Lu Huiqing was about to leave when she saw Su Yixin. It would have been fine if she didn't see her, but if she had seen her, she would have come over to pay her respects.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Princess Shuyang. Are you going to the palace to visit the Queen?"

"Yes."

"Then I won't bother you anymore!"

Su Yixin entered the palace and after walking a few steps, she saw Gu Qingjue walking towards her.

Su Yixin's gossipy face came closer and said, "I just heard Lord Lu and Lord Wang arguing outside the palace gate. Are they arguing again in the court?"

Gu Qingjue helplessly pinched Su Yixin's smooth face as she leaned forward: "Your expression of watching a show is too obvious!"

"Really? It's obvious, so tell me."

"It's not really a quarrel. Today, His Majesty asked Lord Wang to investigate Lord Lu. If there is no problem, he will be asked to fill the position of Privy Councilor."

And this operation?
"Master Lu agreed?"

"Your Majesty already had this intention. Lu Huiqing should have also noticed your Majesty's intention, so he can only agree."

The two came to the Queen's Palace. Gu Yanxiao was already six months pregnant. Her belly was bulging and her face was round. When they arrived, Zhao Rui was there too.

Just as he was about to greet him, Zhao Rui helped him up.

"If you didn't object, I would call you dad and mom every time I see you. Now that you don't allow me to call you that, then we shouldn't do this kind of formality when we are all together as a family."

Gu Qingjue: "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished."

"I'm your son-in-law!"

"You are the emperor. When you are no longer the emperor, I will not need to perform formalities."

Gu Yan smiled with a smile on his face and pulled his mother in to talk.

"Mom, pregnancy is so hard. It's only been six months and I just want to give birth as soon as possible."

Su Yixin smiled and said, "When you are born, you will find that it is more convenient to kick in the belly."

"How can it be convenient? It's inconvenient to do anything with a big belly, and it's tiring."

She is a cultivator and has a healthy physique, but she also feels tired and sometimes even short of breath.

Only after she became pregnant did she realize how hard it is to be a mother.

She deeply felt the saying that only when you raise children can you understand the kindness of your parents.

"In short, don't think about these things now. Just focus on taking care of your baby. Move around frequently when you feel better. Don't be lazy, or you'll have a hard time giving birth when the time comes."

"Mom, I just want to lie down now."

Su Yixin looked at Gu Yanxiao's belly and said worriedly, "Your belly is bigger than that of an ordinary woman at eight months. If you don't move more, you will suffer when you give birth. Don't disobey me, remember this."

After informing Gu Yanxiao, Su Yixin was still worried, so she informed Su Ying, who had entered the palace and worked as a head maid.

"Don't worry, Princess. I will remind the Queen every day."

"Ah."

"I knew the palace would be boring, but I didn't expect it to be so boring. If I had known, I would never have been soft-hearted and agreed to him. Mother, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, please come to the palace more often to accompany me. The palace is really boring."

Zhao Rui came in with his father-in-law.

What he worries about most every day now is that Gu Yanxiao can't stand the life in the palace and disappears with the children.

"Xiaoxiao, just be patient. When the child is born and can speak, I will teach her how to govern the country, and then pass the throne to her. Then we can travel around the world."

Su Yixin: What a big pie.

Zhao Rui inherited the throne when he was twelve years old. It is conservatively estimated that this child will be the same as him, becoming emperor at the age of twelve, which will take twelve years.

By that time, Zhao Rui was already 41 years old. He was not a sword cultivator, and could not practice cultivation. Even if he was in great shape, he was already half buried in the ground, and could not enjoy himself for many years.

Although Su Yixin didn't say anything, her expression was very clear.

Zhao Rui felt bitter.

He didn't want to do that. If he had known this would happen, he would have followed Commander Zeng to learn martial arts no matter what.

Su Yixin was thinking far ahead, but Gu Yanxiao, who was now immersed in joy, didn't think so far ahead. She looked at Zhao Rui happily and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"My parents are here, they can all testify."

Su Yixin: "..."

Well, Zhao Rui kicked her daughter in the heart, and she should be happy as a mother.

Wang Anshi investigated Lu Huiqing with great fanfare. In order to get the position of Privy Councilor, Lu Huiqing personally cut off his ties several times when he was about to be caught. Even Gu Qingjue admired his courage.

After more than a month of investigation, no major faults were found, and Zhao Rui agreed to appoint Lu Huiqing as Privy Councilor.

Lu Huiqing took the position of Privy Councilor as he wished.

But later he realized that Wang Anshi's remarks in the court were not a whim but were premeditated.

He must have sensed His Majesty's thoughts, so he said those words to give His Majesty a reason to order him to investigate himself.

Since His Majesty personally issued the decree, Wang Anshi felt fearless and conducted a very in-depth investigation, forcing him to cut off all interpersonal relationships that might involve him, and he had to do it personally.

He got the position of Privy Councilor as he wished, but he also offended many people because of it.

Wang Anshi is good at calculating.

Your Majesty has deep thoughts.

But he didn't notice it at first, and by the time he noticed it, it was too late.

Not only is he now isolated and helpless, but those court officials who usually have a good relationship with him are always trying to sabotage him and have delayed state affairs on several occasions. His Majesty is very dissatisfied with him because of this and has doubted his ability in the court.

After much thought, Lu Huiqing decided to find a new political alliance.

After much deliberation, Leng Zhongyan was chosen.

Leng Zhongyan was not surprised when he received Lu Huiqing's invitation. He had talked about him when he and Gu Qingjue were drinking in Baifan Tower half a month ago.

After some analysis, Gu Qingjue guessed that Lu Huiqing would seek cooperation with him.

I didn’t expect that what Gu Qingjue said was right.

Leng Zhongyan arrived at a villa outside the city on time. The villa had beautiful scenery, and most importantly, there were several clear streams inside. When he arrived, Lu Huiqing and several other ministers in the court were already talking on the bamboo vines built nearby for cool air.

Seeing Leng Zhongyan coming, several people hurriedly stood up to greet him and led Leng Zhongyan to the table.

Below the bamboo vines is a gurgling stream, and the summer heat is mostly gone.

"I was worried that Lord Leng would not come. I am very happy to see you today. I will toast you."

Leng Zhongyan picked up the wine glass, but did not drink it in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Lu Huiqing and said, "Lord Lu, if I drink this glass of wine, will we all be family?"

Lu Huiqing also looked at Leng Zhongyan, trying to figure out what Leng Zhongyan meant by this sentence.

The main reason was that Leng Zhongyan had no expression on his face and his voice was very cold, so it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Lord Lu?"

Lu Huiqing smiled and said, "Lord Leng is willing to honor me by coming to my manor to have a chat, which means that he is willing to give me this honor. We are naturally friends."

Lu Huiqing originally thought that it would take some persuasion to get Leng Zhongyan to form an alliance with him, but he didn't expect him to be so proactive.

Such a suspicious Lu Huiqing did not dare to agree easily.
