Chapter 457: The Culprit(1/2)

Kyoto.

Former Prime Minister's Mansion.

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

Wen Boyu hasn't slept yet.

He suddenly sneezed three times in a row, which hit Nian Chengfeng sitting opposite and grinned:

"I don't know, that bitch is probably scolding me again."

Nian Chengfeng raised his head from a pile of old memorials. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. Wen Boyu looked a little tired:

"I'm afraid there are many people scolding you."

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

Nian Chengfeng took the tea cup and leaned 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 stories."

Wen Zhuiyu held the tea cup and looked out the window into the dark night. He pondered for a moment, shook his head and laughed at himself:

"I used to think that those days were extremely beautiful, but now that I think about it, I realize that it was just a ridiculous thing."

Nian Chengfeng curled his lips, "Didn't you say that is called a colorful life?"

"Hey..." Wen Boiyu sighed:

"No matter how colorful it once was, it is like the paint on the wall. It cannot withstand the wind and frost of the years, and in the end, all that is left is mottled."

Wen Boyu took a deep breath, withdrew his gaze, looked at Nian Chengfeng, and said: "The ancients said that people do not spend their youth in romance... This is both true and false."

"The right thing is that you were unruly when you were young. Because you are unruly, 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 you look back, you can find that it was not only a waste of the best time, but also a shame for those girls who bloomed for themselves...

"

"When they were young, it was also a season of their lives that was as beautiful as flowers. Unfortunately... I didn't know how to cherish it at that time. I thought that walking through flowers without a leaf touching your clothes was the highest state of romance, but I didn't know...

...Although my clothes were not touched, countless petals were knocked off..."

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

"Let's not talk about these things anymore. Those things that I was once proud of now make me feel ashamed."

Nian Chengfeng kept watching the warm rain, and suddenly felt that this guy seemed to be getting old.

He is already forty, but his heart has truly stabilized.

As expected, those who warm the rain can only fill the garden with flowers!

He grinned and did not tell Wen Boiyu about those sad past events. Instead, he asked: "In the palace... there are only Concubine Li and the Sixth Princess left in the palace."

"In the past two days, Tang Buju, the remonstrating official from the Supervision Department, has written twice, saying that it is inappropriate for Concubine Li and the Sixth Princess to continue to live in the harem."

"The reason is...the emperor has passed away and the new emperor has not yet been established. As the widow of the late emperor, Concubine Li should go to the imperial mausoleum as a widow to guard the mausoleum even if she is not buried with him..."

"According to the laws of the Ning Kingdom, she should guard the mausoleum for at least five years, but she has never taken the initiative to mention it, and she is still in the harem."

"If the regent really welcomes back the emperor's eldest son, and after the emperor's eldest son ascends the throne and becomes emperor, there will definitely be new people coming into the harem. Then, in what capacity does Concubine Li still stay in the palace?"

Wen Boyu's expression became serious.

Of course he knew this.

He even mentioned this matter to Li Chenan before Li Chenan left Kyoto.

Concubine Li is not the mother-concubine of the emperor's eldest son, but she is the elder of the emperor's eldest son.

If the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne as emperor, Concubine Li's status will be very embarrassing.

There is no way she is the empress dowager.

So what is she?

Li Chenan's answer to him was a bit strange.

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

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

Just let her do it.

As for the future... in the future, when the eldest son of the emperor really comes back and ascends the throne as emperor, the new emperor will renegotiate with you.

Wen Boyu thought this was inappropriate.

Whether the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne as emperor, or Li Chenan becomes the new emperor of Ningguo, it is inappropriate for Concubine Li to be in the harem!

Because Concubine Li also has a son.

He is the orthodox third prince of Ning Kingdom!

According to Wen Boyu's opinion, since the third prince is now an adult, he should be granted the title of king and his fiefdom removed.

As the mother of the third prince, Concubine Li can go to the fiefdom with her son.

In this way, not only will the harem leave no problems, but the throne will also leave no 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.

"I asked the Supervision Department to do this because of Tang Buju's advice."

As soon as Wen Boyu said these words, Nian Chengfeng understood immediately.

"This...if the regent knew about it, would he think you were making arbitrary decisions?"

Wen Boyu 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 and then went to Wu Kingdom...that will be a year or two later."

"Concubine Keli can't delay this matter!"

"If we delay it for a year or two, bigger problems will arise if we don't get it right."

Nian Chengfeng pondered for a moment, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "But if you are forced like this... Concubine Li is known as a good concubine, and she is still from the Yan Mansion!"

"What I mean is that if you make it known to the whole city, the people will look at you differently. In addition, if the Yan Mansion is angry because of this and another incident occurs in Kyoto, then I am afraid that the palace will not be able to wait until the regent can take back the eldest son of the emperor.

Things have changed!"

Wen Zhuiyu took a sip of tea and smiled slightly:

"So I plan to ask Eunuch Chang to bring a message to Concubine Li tomorrow... I want to go to the palace to meet this virtuous concubine who likes to hoe."

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

"No, she will definitely meet me!"

"Why?"

"The medicinal materials that the emperor needs to make elixirs in Changle Palace were planted by Concubine Li in her garden."

"There are only two borders."

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

"It's called aphrodisiac...The emperor is not obsessed with Tao, but is addicted to aphrodisiac!"

Nian Chengfeng was startled and stared at Wen Boyu in horror:

"What you mean is...she is the culprit for the current situation in Ningguo?"

"I can't say for sure, but the Taoist priests from Taiyi did get the aphrodisiac fruit from her hands."

Nian Chengfeng shook his head: "The Taoist temple in Taiyi was destroyed by Changsun Jinghong's men. No one in the temple was spared except the old Taoist Qingfeng and his disciples."

"Then is it because the emperor was poisoned by aphrodisiac? If she denies it, what can you do to her?"

Wen Boyu said:

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

"In addition, the old man and the young man spread the news about senior brother's daughter in the world. Senior brother is very angry!"

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

"If they were smarter, they would hide... But besides senior brothers, there are still people who want these two bullshit to die."

"Is this Concubine Li?"

"right!"

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

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