In the courtyard, Murong Shu was sitting seriously and could only hear what the eunuch below was reporting.

Immediately, she stood up, raised her eyebrows and said: "This Liu Xi really pays less and less attention to me. He actually locked up Fang Yushi while I was away."

This censor had always been at odds with Liu Xi, and repeatedly reported him for overstepping his authority and being corrupt, but the emperor refused to touch Liu Xi. Although Murong Shu was in the harem, in this court, the harem had already had the habit of taking over power.

.

There are three parties in the imperial court, one is the Hou Party, the other is the Eunuch Party, and the third is the Xilin Party. Murong Shu is one of the Hou Party. Empress Li Shi understands the righteousness well, and she cannot have children even when she is old.

The emperor liked it, so he left Murong Shu and remonstrated with the emperor on her behalf.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" the eunuch asked.

Murong Shu pondered for a while and then said: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry! But I don't dare to do anything too much if I don't let him go for a while. Let's deal with him again after I return to the palace."

The eunuch nodded.

"Does the Emperor know about this?"

The eunuch shook his head: "Of course I don't know."

Murong Shu moved her lotus steps slightly: "You stay here for now and wait for a day to go back with me, so as not to encounter any danger."

"Thank you, empress." The eunuch looked at Murong Shu's back, but a smirk appeared on his face.

Murong Shu reported the matter to her father Murong Qianqiu. Although Murong Qianqiu was not in the court, several of his uncles had great influence in the court. This meant that he was not in the court, but his heart was in the court.

He is an iron-clad Hou Dang. Nowadays, in the imperial court, the Hou Dang and the Eunuch Party are equally matched.

"What reason did Liu Xi use to lock up Fang Yushi?" Murong Qianqiu asked, sitting upright.

Murong Shu shook her head: "If you want to accuse someone, why bother?"

"Well, I'm afraid if it's some kind of conspiracy to smuggle the country, then it will be difficult for us to rescue him."

"Although Fang Yushi is a veteran of two dynasties, he may not be able to protect his family at this moment." Murong Qianqiu sighed.

This censor was also an old friend of his. Unfortunately, Liu Xi was so cruel and bold that he detained him directly, intending to kill him first and show off later.

The reason why Liu Xi is so stable is because the person behind him is the Thirteenth Prince. The most beloved prince of the current emperor! He has grown up a long time ago, but he has never left the vassal. And the current prince is addicted to women and is weak.

It is the sign of premature death. If the prince unfortunately dies young, then the thirteenth prince will be able to securely occupy the position of great treasure, and the eunuchs will be out of control.

"Dad, we can no longer sit idly by." Murong Shuyan said, "Liu Xi, the eunuch, is getting more and more rampant now. Fang Yushi is just the beginning. If we can't protect him, he will be wiped out."

If we are dissident, we will also lose our hearts."

Murong Qianqiu paced, thinking silently in her mind, remaining silent.

"Liu Xi also sent his cronies to contact Jianghu..." At this point, Murong Shu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Dad, do you really think Jiang Yulang is a good person?"

Murong Qianqiu shook his head: "The tiger father has no dog sons!"

"Then dad why?"

Murong Qianqiu looked at Murong Shu and said with a smile: "Shu'er, this is a game. Liu Xi is just Jiang Biehe's godfather, but do you think that with Jiang Biehe's character, he is really willing to be subordinate to Liu Xi all his life?

?"

"What does dad mean?" Murong Shu seemed to realize something, thinking that her dad was really scheming.

"Whoever puts pressure on him will be moved away first. And Jiang Biehe's most important thing is his son. His marriage to my family was ostensibly to show off to Liu Xi, but the actual purpose was also to

Leave a way out for his son."

Murong Qianqiu said with confidence.

He was indeed right, the so-called cunning rabbit has three holes, but he would not have thought that what Jiang Biehe wanted was to hurt both sides. He would kill both Liu Xi and the Murong family!

"Isn't dad afraid that Jiu'er will suffer a loss?" Murong Shu frowned and said, she is a dad who never cares about the feelings of his children and has always treated them as tools.

"Shu'er, I don't know why, but I always feel that Liu Xi came here with bad intentions this time." Murong Qianqiu pointed to the list of names at the wedding banquet.

There was a long list of gifts written on the list. Liu Xi and the Murong family had always been at odds with each other, but this time they chose many expensive gifts to give. It was really strange.

"Father, evil prevails over good. Our Murong family is loyal to the court, so we are not afraid of Liu Xi's trap. I don't believe that the emperor listens to him and not to me." Murong Shu said confidently that she fascinated the emperor. Fortunately for her

Not a demon concubine.

"It is essential to be on guard against others." Murong Qianqiu said with some distress.

Two days later, the Murong family had prepared for the wedding. Early that morning, a large number of guards and fans came to the door of the Murong family. The servants of the Murong family were shocked.

Without saying a word, these Jinyiwei and Fanzi surrounded the Murong family. It was not until Murong Qianqiu came forward in person that they met the real master.

The person sitting in the sedan was none other than the Grand Governor Liu Xi. The two eunuchs in black robes beside his sedan were none other than the two masters of Dongchang, Tiancan and Dique. Both of them had reached the master level in martial arts.

Extraordinary.

"The Lord Governor is here, I'm sorry for the delay in welcoming you, sorry!" Murong Qianqiu knew that this was Liu Xi's deliberate attempt to intimidate him. If he didn't come out, Liu Xi might be able to surround the place until the wedding tomorrow.

The purple curtain was opened, and the somewhat plump Liu Xi got off the sedan, and said with a smile: "How are you, Mr. Murong, the old owner of the village!"

His smiling face makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Murong Qianqiu didn't care at all, "The governor has brought so many people to congratulate my little daughter. I am really grateful. Please come in quickly!"

Liu Xi nodded, but Tian Can and Di Que behind him remained completely motionless.

"Supervisor, what is this?" Murong Qianqiu was quite confused, why was Liu Xi so disrespectful? Is he here to congratulate him, or is he here to arrest someone?

He pointed to a golden sedan behind him, "There is still a big shot who hasn't entered the house, so I don't dare to slack off."

Murong Qianqiu looked at the golden sedan with a coiled dragon tattooed on it, and he was suddenly shocked. There can only be one person worthy of such a tattoo - the current prince!

Did this old gelding take the prince out of the East Palace?

A bad premonition spread quickly in Murong Qianqiu's heart. He felt that something big was going to happen. But he did not dare to stop the prince from entering his Murong home.

When the golden sedan chair entered the mansion, Murong Qianqiu quickly called his servants and informed the third uncle Nangong and Murong Shu of the news.

Liu Xi was sitting in the hall, drinking tea calmly.

"This time, the governor came unexpectedly on purpose."

Murong Qianqiu was stunned, thinking that Liu Xi was really arrogant to the extreme, speaking without giving any face.

The corner of his mouth twitched, "Excuse me, why?"

This tone is also much colder. If he doesn't give himself face, you don't have to give him face. Who is afraid of whom?

"It is a rule in the palace that concubines cannot return to peace for more than one month. Now, it has been more than two decades since Concubine Shu left the palace. I am afraid that the old owner of the village is busy with affairs and will forget the palace rules."

Liu Xi just mentioned this matter at this time, what else could it be if it wasn't to undermine him?

Murong Qianqiu took a deep breath, "I see, thank you Lord Governor for your concern. My daughter is getting married tomorrow, and Concubine Shu will also leave for the palace the day after tomorrow, so Lord Governor will not worry about you anymore."

He waved his hand and said to Tian Can Di Que and other fans: "Dear father-in-law, a banquet has been prepared at home. All of you who have traveled a long way, please come to the dining room to enjoy it."

"Oh! There's no need to eat the food. I came here specifically to pick up Concubine Shu. The sedan chair is ready. Please ask Concubine Shu to make a move."

Murong Qianqiu couldn't bear it anymore and said sternly: "Lord Governor, there are still ten days before the return trip. It only takes three days to go to the capital. Can't we wait all day tomorrow?"

Liu Xi raised the corner of his mouth, just to avoid you being angry, "Humph, I have my own sense of what I do..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a shout from outside the door: "Empress Shu is here."

Murong Qianqiu and Liu Xi looked outside the door together, and saw Concubine Shu walking towards her with a smile on her face and a dignified manner.

"Eunuch Liu, are you here to take me back to the palace?" Murong Shuluo sat in the top position. This top position has always been vacant.

Now that Liu Xi is here, Murong Qianqiu will not be able to sit on the throne. The empty space is reserved for the emperor and his father. If Murong Shu marries the emperor, then she can sit on the throne on behalf of the royal family at this moment.

"Yes!" Liu Xi said arrogantly without lowering his head or standing up to salute, "The emperor misses your concubine very much. I hope your empress can return to the palace as soon as possible."

"Is this the emperor's oral order?" Murong Shu asked.

"No." Liu Xi shook his head, "This is the governor's wish for the emperor."

The way he spoke was like sitting on their heads and shitting on them. Murong Qianqiu was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't speak.

Instead, Murong Shu smiled and said: "It seems that father-in-law really cares about the emperor."

Suddenly, her face darkened, "However, I received the emperor's oral instructions last night."

"Really?" Liu Xihe asked.

Murong Shu raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Pass on to the prince."

The prince came in response, and everyone knelt on the ground to worship.

"According to the emperor's oral order, Concubine Shu is allowed to return to the palace at the end of the 40th year. I hereby express my gratitude."

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor." The crowd shouted.

Liu Xi was a little angry, and his face was full of disappointment that the plan failed.

"Lord Governor, please come to the dining room to dine." Murong Qianqiu deliberately prodded.

Liu Xi glanced at him and said, "Old owner, please lend me a step and come to the study for a chat."

Murong Qianqiu was not afraid, "Please!"

When the two came to the study, Liu Xi didn't have to show off. He sat on the imperial chair with his legs crossed and said arrogantly: "Brother Murong, Concubine Shu just passed the emperor's oral order, which made the governor lose his face. Why didn't you stop it?"
