Chapter 109 Own plan
After the prince left, the queen prepared lunch in the palace and asked the palace maid to invite the emperor over.
At this time, the old emperor was listening to Yan Liyuan talking about the missing pregnant woman case.
"What Jiu Qiansui means is that someone helped Jiu Qiansui, so the matter was resolved so quickly?" The old emperor felt a little unbelievable. There was actually someone in this world who could help Yan Liyuan! You know, Yan Liyuan was so powerful that all his secret guards were very capable... This was too incredible...
Yan Liyuan didn't explain too much, just nodded slightly.
The old emperor was shocked. "Then summon her to see me quickly. I will reward her well!"
"Your Majesty, this person specifically asked me not to tell your Majesty about this matter and did not ask for any reward. She said that she was just doing her duty as a subject and that she wanted to make sure the people in the capital no longer felt panicked and to relieve your Majesty's worries!" Yan Liyuan seldom spoke so many words, which made the old emperor feel that the person was truly of high character!
The old emperor stroked his beard and sighed, "Ah... If all the ministers of my Wei State were like Jiu Qian Sui and that man... Why would we worry about the future?"
Before Yan Liyuan could say anything, the eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, the Empress invites you to have dinner."
The old emperor frowned, "Don't you see I'm talking to the Ninth Prince? Back off, I won't go!"
What a poor judge! The old emperor was finally moved, but it was ruined by this little eunuch. It would be strange if he could go! Besides, he still wanted to ask about that person!
Yan Liyuan stood up and brushed off the non-existent wrinkles on his robe. "I believe the Queen has made a lot of preparations for this. Your Majesty should not refuse. I will take my leave."
Yan Liyuan nodded slightly to indicate that he was OK, and withdrew from the ceremony.
The old emperor glared at the young eunuch and said, "As long as you are here, don't report trivial matters like this!"
The young eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. He regretted that he should not have coveted the money of the young palace maid. He knew that the Nine Thousand Years Old Man was here, but he still came to report without knowing whether to live or die...
The chief eunuch carefully helped the old emperor onto the dragon sedan chair, "Let's go to Fengqi Palace~"
Fengqi Palace
The queen had been waiting in the palace hall for a long time. When she heard that the emperor had arrived, she quickly knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you~"
The old emperor hadn't come to the queen's place for a long time, and today his interest was interrupted, so he didn't look at the queen in a good mood.
The queen could hear the old emperor's unhappiness and glanced at the palace maid who went to invite the old emperor. The palace maid was so scared that she quickly retreated.
"The weather has been getting colder recently. I'm worried that Your Majesty is tired every day, so I made this red ginseng and old duck soup myself. Your Majesty, please try it~" The Queen personally served a bowl of soup and placed it in front of the old emperor.
The old emperor was very considerate of the queen this time and took a few sips carefully. "Hmm! This soup is very good! The queen is very thoughtful!"
After hearing this, the queen quickly picked up a few dishes for the old emperor. "These are all the emperor's favorites~"
Halfway through the meal, the old emperor's mood improved and he flirted with the empress from time to time.
Seeing that the time was almost right, the Queen asked tentatively, "I heard that there has been some progress in the case of the missing pregnant woman?"
"Yes, the person has been captured! It was Ninth Prince Buwang who did it himself!" The old emperor not only valued Yan Liyuan's character, but also his ability.
"Ah~" The Queen sighed and put down the chopsticks in her hand. "Nine Thousand Years Old is concerned about the country and the people. It is a blessing for the people... but... Alas..."
The old emperor thought that the queen was going to say something bad about Yan Liyuan, so he put down his chopsticks heavily, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! The loyalty of the Nine Thousand Years Old is unmatched! Queen, please don't talk about the Nine Thousand Years Old like this in the future!"
The Queen quickly explained, "Your Majesty has misunderstood me! Jiu Qiansui is your confidant, how could I doubt him? It just happened that when Jiu Qiansui solved the case, rumors spread among the people..."
"What rumors?" The old emperor didn't want to pay attention to those rumors, but he wanted to know about the lives of ordinary people, so he asked patiently.
The queen was a little embarrassed. "It is rumored that the eldest daughter of the Yue family secretly met with a man outside the family and did not return home all night..."
When the old emperor heard this, the Yue family? The eldest daughter of Yue Hanwen's mansion? "The queen doesn't need to worry about this, right?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The eldest daughter of the Yue family is the prince's fiancée! Now people say that the Yue family has a bad reputation and that the eldest daughter is not worthy of being the crown princess..."
Seeing that the old emperor did not respond, the queen wiped away a tear and said, "I am also thinking about the entire Wei State and the prince. If a woman like that becomes the prince's consort, wouldn't it make people laugh? Other countries will also point fingers at the prince... Whenever I think of this... I feel really uncomfortable~"
The old emperor wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief and said, "The Queen is right to worry. I have my own plans. The Queen and the Crown Prince should not worry!"
The Queen wiped her eyes again, "Thank you, Your Majesty~"
