The aroma of ambergris surrounded the entire imperial study, and Xuanyuanzhe sat quietly, waiting for others.
He didn't know whether that person would come.
The deep worry was all reflected in his frown.
For some reason, Luoxue's words came to mind again: The emperor should understand who can make the prince give up his power.
Although he answered like that in the darkroom, his heart was already deeply affected by these words.
His palms were covered in sweat.
Maybe, when the last resort comes, Liu Chun'er will be his most important move. Even though Murong Luoxue didn't say it, he already had this plan.
After all, it was because of Liu Chun'er that Xuanyuan Leng started this conspiracy to seize the throne.
At this time, the door was pushed open.
He looked nervously, thinking that Xuanyuan Leng was coming.
But he saw the prince bowing and walking in. He was greatly disappointed, and his face returned to indifference, and he asked: "Is he here?"
The prince cautiously turned around and closed the door, and then replied: "Back to the emperor, he did not come. He had just received news about Murong Luoxue's arrest on his way back to the palace, but according to the spy who followed him all the way,
When I came back to report it, he was completely indifferent after hearing it. He even returned home without moving his expression for a moment, and there was no sign of any nervousness at all."
"Could it be that he doesn't actually care about Murong Luoxue?" Xuanyuan Zhe thought thoughtfully.
Eunuch Wang was also confused. Ideally, after hearing such news suddenly, if Xuanyuan Leng liked Murong Luoxue a little, even if he didn't rush back to the palace because of this, at least his mood would change a bit.
But he turned out to be indifferent, which was confusing.
"Your Majesty, judging from this, it's very possible... After all, he doesn't know that we have this trick. It can be seen from the fact that he didn't react when he heard it all of a sudden." Eunuch Wang said.
"I think so." Xuanyuanzhe said, but he was very disappointed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Wang Gonggong asked. Now that the situation is approaching, we must come up with a countermeasure.
Then General Zuo, even if he really receives the order and comes immediately, he still has to wait for some time!
At least we can't subdue Xuanyuan Leng, but we still have to delay time, waiting for General Zuo's men to arrive!
"What do you think?" Xuanyuanzhe suddenly raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Eunuch Wang expressionlessly and asked.
When the emperor asked this question, Wang Gonggong felt a chill in his heart. He didn't understand what the emperor meant, but he really couldn't find a way to deal with it, so he knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, this slave is ignorant and really can't think of anything."
Good method!"
"Get up, I don't want to blame you!" Xuanyuan Zhe said calmly.
The prince trembled on his feet and glanced at the emperor, but saw that there was no blame on his face, so he stood up again.
"I just want to ask you, if Murong Luoxue cannot threaten Xuanyuanzhe, then who can threaten him?" He glanced at Eunuch Wang with cold eyes and asked.
When Eunuch Wang heard this, he shuddered in his heart. The emperor's words were such a question that he didn't know how to speak. In fact, everyone should know who this person was.
However, who dares to say it?
Saying these words is extremely treasonous. Not only is he blaspheming the queen, but he is also insulting the emperor!
The emperor suddenly asked, what does it mean?
He was mumbling, but he didn't know how to speak.
Then I heard Xuanyuan Zhe say solemnly: "But it doesn't matter, you just need to tell the truth."
Seeing the emperor's look, Wang Gonggong pondered for a while. He suddenly understood that the emperor wanted him to speak out so as to give him a reason to do it.
So he whispered: "Since I am the Queen, everyone knows that Xuanyuan Leng has always loved the Queen deeply, and that he suddenly came to seize the imperial power is all because of the Queen."
"Yes." Xuanyuanzhe nodded, then looked at the prince thoughtfully and said, "Then you should understand what to do, and you don't need me to teach you."
He didn't want to say it himself and put Chun'er under house arrest. After all, he really had feelings for her.
Making such a decision made him feel pain in his heart.
But for the sake of imperial power, he had no choice but to abandon her.
"I understand, I'm going to do it now!" After hearing this, the prince quickly turned around to do it, but his face was as wrinkled as a bitter gourd. Such an errand was not easy to do.
If Xuanyuan Leng is removed and the emperor forgives the queen, I'm afraid he will be in terrible misery.
The emperor didn't know some things about the queen, but he knew clearly that those methods were not something ordinary people could bear.
However, the emperor’s life is difficult!
We can only do this for the time being, and we will figure out a way for the future!
……………………
In the study room of Prince Leng's Mansion.
A nervous and heavy voice sounded: "How is it?"
"His Majesty, as expected, Xuanyuanzhe was indeed deceived! And he still wants to... and..." Qi Bao said in a calm tone, but he couldn't continue in the middle of the sentence.
"What else?" Xuanyuan Cooling was nervous. He thought it was Xuanyuan Zhe who wanted to deal with Luoxue in other ways, and was horrified.
Qi Bao glanced at the prince. She didn't know how deep his love for Liu Chun'er was. She didn't know how to speak.
But after looking at the prince's expression, I thought about it and finally wanted him to know.
So he said in one breath: "We will also put Liu Chun'er under house arrest and use Liu Chun'er to threaten the prince!"
"Yeah." As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Leng had a calm expression on his face. He just said "um" without any further explanation. It seemed that his mood didn't change much.
Qi Bao breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy in his heart. It seemed that the prince was really relieved of that woman!
"Senior brother, did you know that my sister-in-law was going to be arrested early on? Otherwise, why did you look so calm at that time?" Hong'er looked dissatisfied and had been brooding about this matter.
If senior brother really knew that his sister-in-law was in danger but still acted like this, he would really be unforgivable.
Xuanyuan Leng shook his head: "I didn't know beforehand."
"Really?" Hong'er had a bit of disbelief on her face.
"Senior brother also lied to you!" Xuanyuan Leng glanced at her, but there was no anger.
Hong'er smiled after hearing this: "That's true, but senior brother, how could you be so calm after hearing this and let Qi Bao enter the palace in time to find out the news?"
"Originally, I didn't know what kind of conspiracy Xuan Yuanzhe was planning. However, on the way back to my hometown in the morning, there was a spy following me closely. I was already suspicious at that time, because the spy was not a top expert.
, if it is absolutely impossible to assassinate him, then he must have some other purpose."
He recalled that time and said in a deep voice: "When Qi Bao and you ran toward me from afar with panic on their faces, I felt that something important had happened. What I thought at that time was that the most likely thing was that something happened to Luoxue.
Yes, when I heard it, it turned out to be true. I knew that when he caught Luo Xue, he must use this to threaten me. If I really showed that I cared a lot, it would be his fault, so I could only pretend not to care, like this
, we can keep Luoxue safe without ruining my plan."
But at that time, only he knew clearly how anxious and painful he felt when he heard that Luoxue had been possessed by a soul-stirring poison. His face, which he was holding back, kept twitching.
The hands hidden in the sleeves were twisted so hard that their knuckles turned white.
"Then don't you worry that if the sister-in-law is useless in his hands, maybe he will..." Hong'er said worriedly.
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do this for the time being, because there is another Prime Minister Murong in the upper court, because everyone is not clear about my feelings for Luo Xue, but Prime Minister Murong is Luo Xue's father, and this blood relationship cannot be escaped.
Yes, and Murong Cheng's feelings for Luo Xue, if Xuanyuan Zhe wants to win over him, he won't hurt Luo Xue." Xuanyuan said calmly.
However, he still had to rescue Luo Xue in time to avoid the nightmare and make mistakes.
