Murong Ke didn't tell Murong Zhan about the dagger. He wanted to make sure that it was what he had guessed. If Zhao Ning was really the princess of Qi, maybe he should think about what to do.
"Pavilion Master, what's the matter?" Song Jiong passed the second gate and saw Murong Ke standing in a daze not far away from the gazebo, so he came over and asked curiously.
Murong Ke regained his senses and glanced at him, "You came just in time, I have something for you to do."
Song Jiong immediately stepped forward, "Pavilion Master, what's the matter? Do you want me to call Teng Ye back?"
"When did I mention him?" Murong Ke asked lightly.
"Pavilion Master, you still refuse to forgive him. It's been a long time, so don't blame him anymore." Song Jiong pleaded for Teng Ye. He knew that Teng Ye had done something wrong and touched the bottom line of the Pavilion Master. Yes, but he must have known he was wrong at this time.
Murong Ke glanced at Song Jiong, "He still doesn't know where he is wrong, you don't have to speak up for him anymore, when should he come back, I have my own opinion."
Song Jiong had no choice but to stop speaking for Teng Ye, "Yes, Pavilion Master."
"I need you to go to Qi State in person." Murong Ke said in a low voice, "Go and inquire about something for me."
"Qi State?" Song Jiong was taken aback, "Pavilion Master, what do you want me to do in Qi State?"
Murong Ke said softly, "Come with me."
He took Song Jiong back to the house, and drew Zhao Ning's dagger just now, and the ancient Chinese characters on it, "Go to Qi State to ask, who has seen this dagger, and there is this word on the dagger, and ask again Did the Emperor of Qi go to Huajia Village fifteen years ago?"
Song Jiong immediately understood what Murong Ke wanted him to do, "Master, do you suspect that Miss Zhao is... Princess Qi?"
"That depends on what you can find in Qi State." Murong Ke said in a low voice, "I asked you to go to Qi State, and you are not allowed to reveal a word to the second person."
"Okay, I understand." Song Jiong nodded immediately. He believed that everything the pavilion master did had his reasons. Since he said that he could not let others know, he must keep his mouth shut.
"Go ahead, find out as soon as possible." Murong Ke said.
Song Jiong responded in a low voice, and went out of the room with the portrait.
Murong Ke stared out of the window with frowned eyebrows and began to meditate. He recalled everything he had seen in his dream back then, and his heart was a little heavy.
"Sixth Prince, Your Majesty invites you to have a drink." After some time, Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside.
"The king is coming." Murong Ke put away his thoughts, wiped his face vigorously, and put down all doubts.
Compared with the bustle of the front yard, the backyard seemed a little quieter.
Anhe City was not originally a place of Jin Kingdom, so there were not many female relatives who could be invited, but Ye Zhen still had someone arrange a banquet in the backyard to celebrate Jin Shanshan's happy event.
Hongying came to Ye Zhen's side, "Your Majesty, I have already handed Zhao Ning to the Sixth Prince."
"What did the sixth prince say?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"No, the emperor is also here, but the emperor seems to have forgotten about Zhao Ning." Hongying said.
Ye Zhen nodded lightly, "Since it has been handed over to the Sixth Prince, there is no need to bother with it anymore, you also go to drink a glass of wedding wine, and go to Mrs. Ye Shao to ask for a reward."
There is no need to affect Zhao Ning's mood on such a happy day.
…
…
Jin Kingdom, Kyoto, Compassionate Palace.
The queen mother sent all the people who served her outside, leaving only her brother Qiu Yaozong to talk by her side.
"You said the emperor is missing? How real is this?" The queen mother asked him in a low voice, but there was no worry or tension on her face, and there was even a hint of expectation.
"Queen Mother, this matter is absolutely true. The emperor fell off a cliff and disappeared for several days. I'm afraid it's more ominous than good luck. I heard this matter from a person surnamed Lu. Go kill Lu Lingzhi, the two of them fell into the An River together, oh, that An River is raining now, the current is very fast, no matter how good the water skills are, they will not be able to survive if they fall in." Qiu Yaozong said eloquently As he said that, he dare not say that someone secretly came to his house to tell this matter, now that Qiu Yaozu was ordered to kill his son, the emperor didn't regard him as his uncle, so he didn't have to worry too much.
"If this is true... I'm afraid the court will be in chaos." The queen mother said thoughtfully.
"Empress Dowager, you should quickly think about what to do now. The emperor has no heirs, and the succession of the throne is a big event." Qiu Yaozong said anxiously.
"You are right. This is a big event. Although the emperor has no heirs, fortunately there is A Yi. They are brothers of the same mother. No one is more suitable except A Yi." Already forgot about Ye Zhen.
Qiu Yaozong thought that although the little prince was not so polite to his uncle, he was more decisive than Mo Rongzhan. If he could really help him ascend the throne, he might be grateful to him in the future, "Queen Mother, it's not too late. It is better to quickly find a way to let the little prince ascend the throne first, so as not to cause other members of the clan to covet after the news comes back."
Ever since she broke up with the emperor many times because of Lu Yaoyao's disagreements, the queen mother has always had an unknown idea in her heart. She thought that it would be great if Ah Yi became the emperor, and she would definitely listen to her in everything, not Against her. As for Ah Zhan... Probably because she was not very close to her since she was a child, she always felt that she didn't understand this son more and more, and she didn't have such an idea before.
It was Lu Yaoyao who changed him.
"Has the matter of Zhenyuan been resolved?" The Queen Mother suddenly changed the topic. Although she used Qiu Yaozong to do things for her, it didn't mean that she was willing to let him intervene in helping A Yi ascend the throne.
In her heart, the greatest use of this Qiu Yaozong is to inquire about news for her outside, as for other things, he doesn't have that ability.
Speaking of his son, Qiu Yaozong said displeasedly, "Queen Mother, then Qiu Yaozu is nothing. Relying on the emperor's order, he actually wants to put Zhenyuan in prison. Zhenyuan is your only nephew. The Qiu family Just such a single seedling, Queen Mother, you must keep Zhenyuan."
"What are you worried about? After a few more days, when the news that the emperor has passed away officially spreads, will he still dare to do anything to Zhenyuan?" The queen mother said with a glare at him.
Qiu Yaozong was overjoyed when he heard the words, that's right, why did he forget, if the emperor changes, can Qiu Yaozu continue to arrest Zhenyuan with that handbook? At that time, Qiu Yaozong might be able to cover the sky with one hand in Kyoto.
Don't think that he doesn't know what the queen mother is thinking, just wait, she can only rely on him in the end.
"The empress dowager is thoughtful." Qiu Yaozong said with a smile, "Then... empress dowager, what should we do next?"
"You go back first, Ai's family will make arrangements."
If you want Ayi to ascend the throne, you must win over the cabinet ministers first.
