After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 457 The culprit
Kyoto.

Former prime minister.

It was late at night, but the lights in the study were still on.

Wen Zhuyu hadn't slept yet.

He sneezed three times suddenly, looked at Nian Chengfeng who was sitting opposite, and grinned:
"I don't know that bastard is probably scolding me again."

Nian Chengfeng raised his head from a pile of old memorials, he raised his hand to rub his temples, and looked at Wen Zhuyu with a tired expression:

"I'm afraid there are quite a few people who scold you."

Wen Zhuyu raised his eyebrows and poured a cup of tea for Nian Chengfeng, "But there are many people who miss me."

Nian Chengfeng took the teacup and leaned back on the chair, "There are indeed many people who miss you. In those years, you traveled around the world, but you left behind many romantic affairs."

Holding the teacup, Wen Zhuyu looked at the dark night outside the window, pondered for a moment, shook his head and laughed at himself:
"I used to think it was very beautiful during those years, but now I think about it and realize that it is absurd."

Nian Chengfeng pouted, "Didn't you say that is a colorful life?"

"Hey..." Wen Zhuyu sighed:
"No matter how colorful it used to be, it is like the paint on the wall, unable to stand the weather of the years, and what is left in the end is only mottled."

Wen Zhuyu took a deep breath, looked away, looked at Nian Chengfeng, and said: "The ancients said that people who are not flirtatious are in vain... This is right and wrong."

"The right thing is that you were uninhibited when you were young. Because of uninhibitedness, you have no worries, so you can be romantic."

"But what I say is wrong is that after going through those years and becoming mature, when I look back, I can find that it was not only a waste of the best time, but also ashamed of those girls who bloomed for themselves... "

"When they were young, it was also the season when they were as beautiful as flowers in their lives. Unfortunately... At that time, I didn't know how to cherish it. I thought that this was the highest state of romance when people passed through the flowers without sticking to their clothes, but I didn't know... ...Although it didn't touch the clothes, it knocked off countless petals..."

"I only left a string of footprints, but they shed two lines of tears for me."

"Let's not talk about that, those things that I used to be proud of now really make me ashamed."

Nian Chengfeng kept looking at Wen Zhuyu, and suddenly felt that this guy seemed to be old too.

He was forty years old, but his heart seemed to have truly stabilized.

Sure enough, the only one who knows how to cook rain is a garden full of flowers!
He grinned, and instead of talking about the sad past with Wen Zhuyu, he asked, "In the palace...there are only Concubine Li and Sixth Princess left in the palace."

"In the past two days, Tang Buju, the advising doctor from the Supervision Department, has written twice, thinking that it is inappropriate for Concubine Li and Princess Six to continue living in the harem."

"The reason is...the emperor has passed away and the new emperor has not yet been established. Concubine Li Gui is the widow of the former emperor. Even if she was not buried with the former emperor, she should go to the imperial mausoleum as a survivor to guard the mausoleum..."

"According to Ningguo's laws and regulations, she should have guarded the mausoleum for at least five years, but she never brought it up, and she is still in the harem."

"If the regent really welcomes back the eldest son of the emperor, after the eldest son ascends the throne as the emperor, there will definitely be newcomers in the harem, so this Concubine Li, what status does she still stay in the palace?"

Wen Zhuyu's expression became serious.

Of course he knew about it.

He even mentioned this matter to Li Chenan before Li Chenan left the capital.

Concubine Li is not the mother concubine of the eldest son of the emperor, but the elder of the eldest son of the emperor.

If the eldest son of the emperor ascended the throne, the status of Concubine Li would be very embarrassing.

She can't be the empress dowager.

What is she then?

The answer Li Chenan gave him was a bit weird.

He said...the harem is so big, it is rare for someone who likes to hoe to serve those flowers and plants.

Since she is still staying in the harem, presumably there is a reason for her to stay in the harem.

Leave it to her.

As for the future... After the eldest son of the emperor really comes back and ascends the throne as the emperor, the new emperor will discuss with you again.

Wen Zhuyu thinks this is inappropriate.

Whether it's the eldest son of the emperor ascending the throne, or Li Chen'an becoming the new emperor of Ningguo, it's not appropriate for Concubine Li to be in the harem!

Because Concubine Li Gui also has a son.

He is the orthodox Third Prince of Ning Kingdom!

According to Wen Zhuyu's opinion, since the third prince has grown up now, he should be crowned king and go to his fiefdom.

Concubine Li is the mother of the third prince, so she can go to the fief with her son.

In this way, not only will the harem not leave any problems, but the throne will also not leave any hidden dangers.

But Li Chenan did not accept his opinion.

The reason is that since the third prince is guarding the mausoleum, it is his filial piety to let him guard the mausoleum for three years.

"Supervision Department Tang Buju's remonstrance is what I asked the Supervision Department to do."

As soon as Wen Zhuyu said this, Nian Chengfeng immediately understood.

"This... If the regent knows, will he think you are making a claim?"

Wen Zhuyu waved his hand, "No matter what he thinks, this matter must be done!"

"Besides, he went to Shuzhou to pick up the eldest son of the emperor before going to Wu...that will be a year or two later."

"Concubine Keli can't delay this matter!"

"If it is delayed for a year or two, even bigger problems will arise."

Nian Chengfeng pondered for a moment, leaned over, and asked in a low voice: "But if you are so forced... Concubine Li has the name of a virtuous concubine, and she is still from the Yan family!"

"What I mean is, if you make it known throughout the city, the common people will probably look at you differently. In addition, if the Yan Mansion is angry because of this, and the capital changes again, then I'm afraid the regent will not be able to take back the eldest son of the emperor. It's changed!"

Wen Zhuyu took a sip of tea and smiled slightly:
"So I plan to ask Eunuch Chang to bring a message to Concubine Li Gui tomorrow... I want to go to the palace to meet this virtuous concubine who likes to hoe the ground."

Nian Chengfeng was startled, and frowned slightly, "What if she doesn't see you?"

"No, she will definitely meet me!"

"What?"

"The medicinal herbs that the emperor needs to make alchemy in Changle Palace are planted by Concubine Li Gui in her garden."

"Only two plots of land."

"The flower is very beautiful when it is in full bloom, and its name is also very beautiful."

"It's called A Furong... Your Majesty is not obsessed with the Tao, but addicted to that A Furong!"

Nian Chengfeng was shocked, and stared at Wen Zhuyu in horror:
"What do you mean... she is the chief culprit in the current situation in Ningguo?"

"It can't be determined, but the Taoist priest of Taiyi did get the fruit of the drug from her hand."

Nian Chengfeng shook his head: "The Taoist temple of Taiyi Road was destroyed by Changsun Jinghong's people, and no Taoist priests in the temple were spared except the old Taoist priest Qingfeng and his disciples."

"Then is it because the emperor was poisoned by the drug poison, if she categorically denies it, what can you do with her?"

Wen Zhuyu said:
"But that doesn't stop her from being curious and wanting to meet me."

"In addition, the elder brother and the younger two Niubi spread the news of the senior brother's daughter in the rivers and lakes, and the senior brother was very angry!"

"I was very worried that my brother would kill them, so I visited some people in Jianghu in the past two days and spread the news that Xi Wei is looking for them."

"If they were a little smarter, they would hide... But besides the senior brother, there are people who want these two bull-nosed to die."

"Is it Concubine Li?"

"Correct!"

"Then do you have any news about those two Taoist priests?"

"Not yet, but they are very likely to appear in Zhouzhuang!"
