C17 Palace Wind and Cloud

In the evening, Li Zai Xiang who was in Prime Minister's House received a letter from her daughter, imperial concubine Yao. In the letter, her daughter felt wronged.

Li Zai Xiang was already depressed that the Emperor did not manage to take care of Luo Ning today, and had been considering whether there was a problem. Could it be that the Emperor wanted to support Luo Tan to fight against him? After all, in the imperial court, the only person who could fight against him was Luo Tan, and Luo Tan's daughter seemed to be doted on by the Emperor. It seemed that it was time to take action.

Li Zai Xiang had originally hoped that imperial concubine Yao would give birth to a prince and use his own forces to push the prince onto the throne.

But Li Zai Xiang seems to have forgotten who gave him the authority, and the reason why he could take it back.

In the throne room, a group of officials was currently reporting to the Emperor about the recent happenings, and after a period of time, everyone had finished reporting.

When the eunuch in charge saw the emperor nod his head, he shouted, "There is a gospel, there is no way to withdraw from the court."

"This subject wishes to begin." Li Zai Xiang stood up.

"Oh? What else does Li Zai Xiang have to say? " Qin Muyun politely asked Prime Minister Li.

"Your majesty, Luo Ning has already been imprisoned for over half a month, this subject humbly requests your majesty to punish Luo Ning."

"This subject humbly requests that the Emperor punish Luo Ning." The officials who were part of the Prime Minister's faction all knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty, think twice!" Luo Ning crashed into the emperor in a moment of desperation, if not for the need to punish Luo Ning, this old subject is willing to suffer on behalf of my son. " Luo Tan trembled as he knelt down. He had received Luo Chen's letter requesting him to pay attention to the imperial government's movements, so he brought his sick body to the imperial court and coincidentally met Prime Minister Li who wanted to punish Ning'er.

"Think twice, Your Majesty." As members of Luo Tan's faction, all of them kneeled down and begged for forgiveness.

When Qin Muyun saw that most of the people had knelt down and only a few were standing, he knew that the imperial court was already divided into two factions. One was the Prime Minister, and the other was the Minister.

Qin Muyun actually felt powerless, his subject had already been separated into different factions while he was still alive and well. Qin Muyun felt that his authority had been threatened and anger started to rise.

"Hmph. Withdraw." Qin Muyun looked at the court official and left angrily.

After the emperor left, the officials had no choice but to leave.

"Luo Shang Shu, you have a good daughter!" Li Zai Xiang smiled and said to Luo Tan.

"It can't compare to the Li Zai Xiang's methods, hmph." Luo Tan could not bear to see the Li Zai Xiang's weird attitude so he turned and took his leave.

"Prime Minister, look ?"

"We'll talk about it when we get back." The Li Zai Xiang interrupted his aide, and they returned to the Prime Minister's House together.

"Prime Minister, what should we do?" Wang Shangshu walked into the study room and asked hurriedly.

Li Zai Xiang closed the door first and sat on his teacher's chair. "Aiya, your impatience won't change! Have you forgotten how I taught you? "

"Master, your disciple has forgotten." Wang Shangshu felt his face blush as he recalled Li Zai Xiang's reminders from before, hence he quickly replied.

"Sit down!" Li Zai Xiang pointed to the seat in front of him and invited him to sit.

"Do you know why the Emperor is angry at the court?" Li Zai Xiang asked the Minister.

"Could it be because he did not want to punish Luo Ning?" Wang Shangshu thought.

"No, you still have to learn the way of officials! The Emperor is not angry because he doesn't want to punish Luo Ning, but because of our attitude towards him. " Li Zai Xiang looked at the imperial edict in worry.

"Who are the ones who knelt down and asked for Luo Ning's punishment? And who is the person begging for mercy for Luo Ning? " The Li Zai Xiang slowly guided the Wang Shangshu.

"Oh, I got it, it's our people and Luo Tan's people." Wang Shangshu immediately understood.

"Mm, that's right, but how many of you haven't knelt yet? Who are the people who are not kneeling? "

"Mm ?" This official did not notice. " Wang Shangshu replied in embarrassment.

"Very little. Those are either people of the emperor or not from any political party. Today, the emperor has already seen the movements in the imperial court." The Li Zai Xiang slowly said.

The Wang Shangshu was scared out of his wits. The emperor had already started to be on his guard against them, but what the Wang Shangshu suspected more was the attitude the Li Zai Xiang held towards him. He taught him a lot, and continuously promoted him to the position of Minister for Rites. This problem had been bothering him for a long time.

Many years later, this answer will destroy the very life of the Wang Shangshu!

"Don't worry, I will take care of everything. I will definitely not let the Luo Family off!" The Li Zai Xiang said fiercely.

But Luo Mansion was currently covered by dark clouds.

"Husband, what do you think we should do? Woo woo ? * My poor little Ning! " Luo Chen's mother cried in her arms.

"Don't worry, Madame. Your husband will take care of everything. Your husband will definitely save Ning." Luo Tan wiped off his tears and comforted his to sleep.

Luo Tan and his wife had an extremely good relationship, they were good husband and wife, and Luo Tan himself was not even born into a poor family, he was already satisfied to be able to marry a lady like his wife. Furthermore, after their marriage, Madam gave birth to Chen'er and Ning'er, two clever children. It could be said that they were truly blissful and happy!

But now that Chen'er had entered the palace and Ning'er had been imprisoned, their families could no longer be considered families anymore! Luo Tan sat on the stone bench and looked at the full moon, feeling even more sorrowful.

No, he couldn't give up. The Madam was waiting for him, and he had to think of a way to resolve this issue. Thinking about the letter Chen'er handed to him, Luo Tan made a decision in his heart.

In the Changle Palace, Luo Chen was researching on the chess piece that Qin Muyun had sent over.

"Empress, this servant has something to report." Lan Er entered the hall.

"You can all go ahead and look for him!" Luo Chen waved for everyone to leave.

Seeing that everyone had left, Lan Er opened her mouth, "Empress Dowager, I heard that Prime Minister Li requested for Young Noble to be punished earlier today."

"Then what does the emperor say?" Luo Chen was shocked, he grabbed Lan Er's hand and anxiously asked.

"Empress, don't worry. At that time, the old master and many officials had pleaded for mercy on behalf of the young master. His Majesty did not punish them." "But ?" Lan Er looked at Luo Chen, not daring to say anything.

"Speak!" Luo Chen knew that her little brother was alright, and her heart calmed down.

"But the Emperor was very angry, and he left the throne room at that time."

"Mm, I understand. You must be careful in the future. There are many people in the palace who are keeping an eye on us!" Luo Chen worriedly warned Lan Er.

"Yes, Empress, this servant understands." After that, Lan Er left, leaving Luo Chen alone to think.

Qin Muyun angrily walked out of the throne room and into the imperial flower garden. Looking at these flowers, he felt anger rising from his heart.

"Let's go, we are controlling the Changle Palace."

When he arrived at the entrance of the Changle Palace, Qin Muyun stopped in his tracks. During this period of time, he had been liking coming to the imperial concubine Shu more and more.
