Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Ye Jingyu walked up the stone steps to the door and slowly turned around.

He said in a deep voice: "You think it's inappropriate for my concubine to attack him, but you didn't hear that the demon monk imprisoned my people for three days without asking any questions. If your wife and children were arrested, wouldn't you have to watch? No!"

"The theory of luck is even more nonsense. Since the beginning of spring, there have been constant disasters in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If I remember correctly, you have already discussed that I am not worthy of my virtue before causing this disaster. Why was there no one at that time? Do you think it was Xuanzhen’s faulty virtue that caused this disaster?”

Everyone immediately knelt down.

"Old ministers will never dare to talk about the Emperor!"

Ye Jingyu snorted coldly: "Don't think that I didn't say it because I didn't know. I just thought about how old you are, so I didn't order to punish you. Now instead of reflecting on yourself, you are blaming others." I wonder where in the world you bunch of rebellious ministers come from!"

The last words burst out of his throat like gold and iron, and everyone trembled.

"Old minister dare not!"

Ye Jingyu flicked his sleeves and said, "If you don't dare, get out of the palace and kneel down."

"Wait!"

The Queen Mother took a step forward and said: "The emperor wants people to die, but also wants people to die clearly. The Ai family believes that Master Xuanzhen has great cultivation. If the emperor executes him like this, it will definitely make the ministers disobey and it will be difficult to stop the people. The mouth of Youyou.”

Ye Jingyu raised his eyes, not hiding the disgust in his eyes.

"What does the Queen Mother think?"

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "The Ai family thinks that we should give Xuanzhen a chance to start a practice and pray for rain for the Great Zhou. If it fails, the Ai family will hand him over to the emperor for decision."

She laughed sinisterly, and then said: "Concubine Yao keeps saying that he is a demon monk. She must have some skills, so she can let Master Xuanzhen open the altar together."

"What nonsense!"

Ye Jingyu said angrily: "Concubine Yao is just an ordinary person, how can she ask for rain?"

The Queen Mother tilted her lips and said with a sneer: "If she didn't know how to do it, why would Yanxuan really be a monster? She wants to confuse right and wrong with just one mouth. How can the people in the world believe it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear voice said: "That's good, I agree."

Yin Qingxuan had changed into a long pink skirt, held Xiao Anzi's arm, and walked out from the path gracefully.

Her pretty little face was not painted with makeup and was slightly pale, but it still had an alluring beauty.

Ye Jingyu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Yao, don't talk nonsense."

Yin Qingxuan bowed and said: "I am willing to accept the bet. I believe that God will be on the side of justice. However, if Xuan Zhen loses, what should I do?"

The Queen Mother glanced at her bitterly and said, "If he loses to you, the Ai family will have nothing to say and will leave it to your disposal."

Yin Qingxuan smiled slightly and said: "Then we will make a bet and ask the emperor to testify for the two of us."

Seeing her full of confidence, Ye Jingyu was unsure.

A pair of eyes couldn't stop turning on Yin Qingxuan's face, trying to see through her thoughts.

Guan Mengting chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that Concubine Yao could be so capable. The old minister will definitely tell the court officials about this and invite everyone to witness it with their own eyes."

Ye Jingyu couldn't help but cursed secretly, this old guy really didn't take it personally to watch the excitement.

Lu Tong also said: "That's it. If the empress participates in the bet, Xuanzhen should be convinced if she loses."

Ye Jingyu glanced at Yin Qingxuan again.

Seeing her nodding, he said, "Okay, then it's settled."

After saying that, he walked into the imperial study room without looking back.

Guan Mengting and several ministers looked at each other and said in unison: "Old minister, please retire."

The Queen Mother also left in a hurry with Cui Hai.

On the way, Cui Hai asked: "Queen Mother, can Xuanzhen really ask for rain?"

"I don't know whether the Ai family is real or not. In short, we have to treat him first and then find a way. You go to the imperial doctor immediately, and the Ai family goes to the Chanting Pavilion to have a look."

The Queen Mother took the maid's arm and walked quickly to the chanting pavilion.

Xuanzhen's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and there was a big bump on his bald head.

Several little nuns were surrounding him applying ice to his face.

Xuanzhen lay on the bamboo mat, his eyes full of hatred.

A little concubine dared to do this to him. If he had no reason to stay in the palace, he would have left the palace a year ago.

I wanted to take this opportunity to put myself on the stage again, but I didn't expect to meet such an ungrateful woman.

It's just that Xuanzhen still doesn't understand where Concubine Yao has been hiding for the past three days and why she suddenly appeared in the room.

A little nun happened to press the bump on his head painfully, and Xuanzhen couldn't help but feel angry.

"Get out and go to the confession room to check if there is a secret room inside."

The little nun trembled with fright and left.

The older nun said softly: "Master, don't be impatient. Now that the harem is tense, the only one the Queen Mother can rely on is the Master. She will definitely find a way to keep the Master."

Xuanzhen snorted and said: "There is no one in the Lu family. She is alone in the palace. King Anping has been completely isolated now. She really needs someone to help her hold up the scene."

And the reason why he agreed to help the Queen Mother was naturally of great use.

Xuanzhen didn't know what he thought of, his eyes softened, but he heard someone coming to report.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Xuanzhen immediately dismissed everyone and put on his cassock again.

The Queen Mother has walked in.

"Is it okay, Master?"

"Amitabha! Thank you, Queen Mother, for caring about me. This poor monk is fine."

Xuanzhen saluted with one hand. Although his face was bruised and bruised, he still looked solemn.

"That's good. The Ai family has ordered the imperial physician to diagnose and treat the master, but..."

The Queen Mother paused and said nothing further.

Xuanzhen bowed and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for taking care of me. It doesn't matter if Queen Mother has something to say."

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said: "Master also knows that after the new emperor ascends the throne, the Ai family will not have much say in the harem. Now in order to protect the master, the Ai family has made a bet with the emperor. The Ai family believes that the master has magical powers. You can definitely win this bet.”

Xuanzhen lowered his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what kind of bet the Queen Mother has made?"

"The Ai family wants Master to pray for a rain for the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the rain can fall, the emperor will have nothing to say, and Concubine Yao is also involved in this bet."

Xuanzhen's hand tucked into his sleeve trembled momentarily.

There is actually Concubine Yao?

Where did this woman come from?

Thinking of her iron-like slap, Xuanzhen suddenly felt a toothache.

"What? Master, is there something in trouble?"

The Queen Mother had always believed in these rumors to deceive people. Back then, Xuanzhen had executed a concubine, saying that she was transformed by a demon fox. Although the Queen Mother had doubts in her heart, she still believed that Xuanzhen was really capable.

Xuanzhen immediately said: "No, thank you for being considerate, Your Majesty."

Seeing that he agreed, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, do you want to build an altar? The Aijia can order help."

Xuanzhen pondered for a moment and said: "Thank you Queen Mother, then let's build the altar in front of Chuyue Palace."

The Queen Mother was slightly startled.

Chuyue Palace is the residence of Concubine An. How did it get built there?

Xuanzhen chuckled and said, "The poor monk has already calculated the location. It is the best place to pray for rain."

"Okay, then the Ai family will let you know what kind of high platform they need. Just tell Cui Hai, and the Ai family will go back first."

The Queen Mother stood for a while and felt a stomachache again. She had already had a shadow in her heart that day and night.

Xuanzhen said goodbye to the Queen Mother, his eyes uncertain between light and dark. After a long time, he turned around and returned to the studio...
