Moreover, they invited the Queen Mother to put pressure on Ouyang Huai, asking him to reveal the whereabouts and whereabouts of He Lianchen.
Normally, these ministers obey Ouyang Huai, but now they don't know the whereabouts of their king of Xiliang Kingdom, while Ouyang Huai controls everything, so of course they are dissatisfied.
This morning the Queen Mother went to see He Lianchen, but after she couldn't see her son, she became so angry that she came to listen to the government behind the curtain.
She also exposed Ouyang Huai's lies on the spot and said:
"The Ai family was a little angry because of the marriage, so they went to a resort to relax... After half a month, they couldn't see Wang Er when they came back... He kept claiming to be sick and didn't see anyone...
"Including the Ai family. But the Ai family doesn't believe it. He doesn't even see me, the queen?
"This morning, the Ai family went to see Wang Er again... He was still missing... The Ai family was puzzled, so they forced their way into his palace.
"But the Ai family discovered that the king seemed not to be in the palace...
"Prime Minister Ouyang, Ai Jia wants to ask you, where has Wang Er gone?
"And General Dongfang, you also know the truth, right? The Ai family hopes that you two can tell the truth. The king's safety is of paramount importance. If he leaves the palace privately, something unexpected might happen..."
After listening to the Queen Mother's soft and hard words, Ouyang Huai and Dongfang Yu looked at each other...
In fact, they don't want to hide it from everyone.
However, it is really inconvenient to reveal He Lianchen's whereabouts.
Now that the Queen Mother has stepped in, Ouyang Huai knows that he can no longer hide it.
He was already planning to confess, when suddenly a eunuch shouted:
“Your Majesty—he’s here!”
So everyone was shocked.
Including Ouyang Huai, Dongfang Yu, and the Queen Mother...
Everyone unanimously looked towards the side of the throne, the passage where the king usually went to court...
Sure enough, a moment later, everyone saw He Lianchen, dressed in bright yellow emperor robes, striding towards his throne with his head held high.
“My lord…kowtow to the king, long live…Long live!”
Everyone kowtowed and were very suspicious... How could the king, who had disappeared for so long, suddenly return to the palace?
Especially Ouyang Huai and Dongfang Yu, they couldn't figure it out...
