After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

The emperor raised a finger and put it to his lips, "Don't make a sound."

Prince Ning's eyes flashed, and he was about to nod when Qin Moyuan, who was not far away, suddenly called out, "Your Majesty?"

After this, everyone saw the emperor and came forward to salute him, "Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked helpless. "Today is the auspicious day for my sister's wedding. I don't want to alarm anyone. I wanted to take a look and then leave. You are really sharp-eyed."

"I didn't know that the emperor was coming, and I failed to welcome you from afar. I hope you will forgive me." Qin Moyuan said in panic.

"How can you be blamed for this? I came here on a whim." The emperor looked tolerant.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat." Qin Moyuan said respectfully.

The emperor had no choice but to sit down on the seat, "You guys drink and eat as you please, don't bother me."

That being said, how could the guests dare to act recklessly? They all stood there in fear and trepidation.

"I told you to sit down, so sit down." The emperor frowned.

The guests then sat down.

Lu Shuangshuang, who was hiding among the guests, was about to find a corner to sit down when the emperor suddenly said, "Miss Lu, accompany me to visit this Duke's Mansion."

Lu Shuangshuang froze and looked at the emperor in astonishment.

She had hidden far away, so how could he still see her?
Without waiting for her to react, the emperor stood up and walked towards the back garden of the Qin Mansion.

Lu Shuangshuang followed behind with her head down, despite everyone's gazes.

Everyone smiled knowingly.

It seems that the emperor left the palace this time to celebrate the eldest princess' wedding and to meet the future queen.

Prince Ning thought so too.

However, as he watched the emperor walking towards the back garden, an idea came to his mind.

If nothing unexpected happened, his Jianzhou army had already arrived in the capital. They could easily enter the city as long as the city gate guards opened the gate.

But what if something unexpected happens?

Why didn't he just hold the emperor hostage?

As long as the emperor is in his hands, all civil and military officials will be cautious.

At that time, he would force the emperor to write an abdication edict, and then he could ascend the throne smoothly.

If this is the case, there is no need to rely on the power of the eldest princess.

There was a flash of cruelty in Prince Ning's narrowed eyes.

He made a gesture to his subordinates in the dark, and they understood and headed towards the backyard.

When Lu Shuangshuang caught up with the emperor, the emperor was standing by a lotus pond.

Because he was standing with his back to her, she couldn't see his face clearly.

She thought he was angry again, so she asked cautiously, "Your Majesty?"

"Hmm." The emperor responded in a low voice and said nothing else.

Seeing this, Lu Shuangshuang stood there for a while.

Compared to the deserted backyard, she prefers the bustling front yard.

It’s a pity that she couldn’t eat at all those wedding banquets.

She also made an appointment with her sister-in-law to visit the eldest princess in her new house.

Now that she is trapped by the emperor, she can't go anywhere.

Thinking of this, she felt complaining.

Seeing that the emperor was standing there with his hands behind his back, she paused and walked towards the pavilion next to her.

Almost as soon as she entered the pavilion, a dark shadow suddenly rushed over from a distance and slapped the emperor on the back.

Seeing this, Lu Shuangshuang was about to scream out, but suddenly, a hand covered her mouth and dragged her into the darkness.

Lu Shuangshuang was shocked and struggled continuously, but in vain.

It's over, there's an assassin.

Also, has something happened to the emperor?
Lu Shuangshuang was terrified and struggled even harder until a familiar voice whispered in her ear: "Lu Shuangshuang, if you dare to move again, I will throw you into the pond to feed the fish!"

Lu Shuangshuang was stunned, turned her head and looked with horror in her eyes.

It turned out to be the emperor!
But wasn't he standing by the pool?
How did he get to the pavilion?

"If you don't make any noise, I will let you go." The emperor said slowly.

Lu Shuangshuang nodded quickly, and the emperor let her go.

As soon as Lu Shuangshuang was free, she immediately asked, "Your Majesty, what just happened..."

The emperor glared and lowered his voice and asked, "Want to feed the fish?"

Lu Shuangshuang stopped talking in dismay.

But she had too many questions in her mind.

Isn’t the person by the pool the emperor?
But they were wearing the same robes.

At this time, King Ning's subordinates carried the "emperor" who had been knocked unconscious by them and walked quickly to a place.

Prince Ning was waiting anxiously on a path leading to the backyard.

He didn't feel relieved until he saw his subordinates carrying a man back.

"Master, the emperor has been captured." The subordinate's voice could not hide his excitement.

Prince Ning was also very excited, but he still had doubts in his heart.

How was the emperor captured so easily?

"Didn't you meet anyone else? Where are the emperor's secret guards?"

"When I went there, I didn't see anyone else. I think the emperor sent people away to have a secret meeting with Lu Shuangshuang." The subordinate replied.

When Prince Ning heard this, his concerns were dispelled.

When the emperor went to the backyard just now, Lu Shuangshuang did follow him.

"What about Lu Shuangshuang?" asked King Ning.

"I didn't see her. Maybe she left first." The subordinate replied.

When Prince Ning heard this, his doubts arose again.

He stretched out his hand and lifted the emperor's face, and saw that it was indeed Chu Ye, and his brows furrowed.

This matter is really too easy.

Could it be a scam?
"Duke, the Duke's Mansion is surrounded——"

At this moment, panicked shouts came from the front yard, interrupting King Ning's doubts.

He was delighted.

Could it be that his Jianzhou army had arrived? Or was it the princess's troops?
Thinking of this, he changed his previous idea. In fact, as long as the emperor died, his followers could take the opportunity to nominate him to the throne. It didn't matter whether there was an emperor's edict or not.

After all, once the emperor died, he and the eldest princess were the only two bloodlines left in the royal family.

How could the eldest princess, a woman, compete with him?

Thinking of this, he decisively ordered his subordinates: "Wake up the emperor and bring him directly to the front yard." After he finished speaking, he quickened his pace and walked towards the front yard.

In the front yard, the guests were already in chaos.

A group of heavily armored soldiers holding swords rushed in and surrounded everyone.

"This is the Duke's Mansion, not a place for you to act unruly. Why don't you leave immediately?" Qin Moyuan asked in a deep voice, standing in front of the guests.

The leader, who looked like a general, said in a nonchalant tone, "My duty is to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Wherever the Princess is, I and the others will be there."

When everyone heard this, they became even more panicked.

It turns out that these people are the Princess's men?
What does the princess want to do?
Thinking back to the fact that the Emperor was in the Duke's Mansion, everyone secretly thought that something was not right.

Could it be that the eldest princess wants to take this opportunity to harm the emperor?
Everyone became panic-stricken.

Who could have thought that a wedding banquet would turn into a palace coup?

When King Ning saw this, all his worries disappeared.

It seems that the eldest princess really believes that the empress dowager is the enemy who killed her biological mother, and she is going to seize Chu Ye's throne.

At this moment, his subordinates came out holding the emperor hostage, and said righteously: "The dog emperor is unkind in his governance and unworthy of his position. He should abdicate and let others take over!"

When they saw the emperor, everyone was shocked.

"You thief, you are talking nonsense. Let the emperor go immediately!" a minister scolded harshly.

Qin Moyuan had already drawn his sword and pointed it directly at the subordinate of King Ning. "Let the emperor go, and maybe he will show you a lighter sentence. Otherwise, you and your people will die!"

The subordinate was not afraid at all. He glanced in the direction of Prince Ning. After receiving the order, he sneered, suddenly raised the sharp blade in his hand, and stabbed directly into the heart of the "Emperor".

"No!"

The ministers' faces turned pale and they shouted at the top of their lungs. (End of this chapter)
