The beauty of this palace will kill you in minutes

Chapter 156
"What, the emperor ordered that Jiaoyue marry and Chen Changchun be his successor?" Queen Zhao couldn't believe it, she almost wanted to growl.

"Empress, the imperial decree has been issued, and the matter is irreversible." Mother Ji stepped forward to rub Queen Zhao's chest, fearing that she would become too angry and lose her composure.

Empress Zhao pushed Aunt Ji away, picked up the teapot beside the desk, and slammed it down on the ground. With a loud bang, her depression dissipated a little.

Mother Ji went over to rub Queen Zhao's chest in a hurry, and said, "Queen Empress, calm down!"

Empress Zhao took two steps back, sat on the side of the bed, thumped the bed, and said, "The Zhao family currently has only Jiaoyue who is of marriageable age. There is no one available in the palace."

Nanny Ji comforted her, "In another year, Fifth Miss will be old enough, and we can arrange a marriage at that time."

The Fifth Miss she spoke of was Zhao Jiaoyun, Zhao Jiaoyue's younger sister.

Empress Zhao waved her hand and said: "After a year or two, Prince Hui's wings are already full, how can it be so easy to put someone beside him?"

Mother Ji said: "If not, then we will win over Concubine Hui and let her be used by the empress? Concubine Hui is from a low family background, looks mediocre, and has no children. If she can be favored by the empress, she will definitely attach herself to the empress. Your Majesty stands on the same front."

Empress Zhao nodded and said: "It's also a solution." As she spoke, her face softened.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Mother Ji let out a sigh of relief.

Empress Zhao turned to think of something, frowned and said: "This palace just wants to marry Haoyue to King Hui, how did the emperor know? Could it be that King Hui told the emperor?"

Mother Ji said: "The old slave has inquired about it. When Hui Wang entered the palace this morning and greeted the emperor, he didn't mention this matter."

Empress Zhao's expression froze, it seemed that Emperor Yuan Bao had noticed something and dismantled her chess pieces in advance.

In the general's mansion, after Chen Changchun received the imperial edict and sent off the servants, he went into the study to sit quietly.

He thought about the whole thing before and after, and decided that the emperor's gift of marriage was, on the one hand, a trick to demolish Queen Zhao, and on the other hand, it was for Yutang's sake.When Zhao Jiaoyue passed through the gate, the General's Mansion and the Zhao family were on the same boat. At that time, Queen Zhao had to treat Yutang kindly when she was in the palace.

Hearing the news, Wei Guan heaved a long sigh of relief, and at night, he quietly went to meet Xia Fei at the Temple of the Eight Immortals.

Xia Fei heard that Wei Yan was going to take her back to the palace, she shook her head and said: "My lord, the empress wanted to promise Zhao Jiaoyue to you, but was intercepted by the emperor halfway, and she was angry. If you take me back to the mansion, I am afraid that the empress will be angry." Under the circumstances, it is not good for me."

"A Fei, I will protect you." Wei Yan held Xia Fei's hand.

Xia Fei lowered her eyes and said, "My lord, the last time I was poisoned, it wasn't that King Cheng sent someone to poison me."

Wei Guan clenched his hands and asked, "Do you know who poisoned it?"

Xia Fei raised her voice and shouted, "Thank you, brother!"

Following the words, Xietu came in.

Wei Tan frowned and looked at Xie Tu.

Xie Tu bowed and said: "My lord asked his subordinates to investigate this matter. It was the previous son who confirmed it with Dr. Liu, and then it was confirmed that the person who poisoned it was Nanny Gu."

"How is it possible?" Wei Guan lost his voice.

"My lord, the empress should be behind Nanny Gu." Xie Tu explained everything he had found out.

Wei Guan's face was extremely ugly, and he said in a gloomy voice, "Empress, do you not want me to have an heir?"

Xia Fei said: "The empress wants a grandson of the Zhao family."

Wei Guan was stunned.

Xie Tu cupped his hands and asked, "Would you like to continue the investigation, please show me the prince."

"The matter involves the empress, the prince should pretend not to know!" Xia Fei suggested.

Wei Guan also knew that with his current ability, he couldn't fight Queen Zhao head-on.
