The male protagonist has no heir? Hurry up and get dressed, the pregnant beauty is here to fuck you

The old emperor pointed to the box on the table and said, "Open the box. There is an imperial edict inside. Go to Qu Mansion to announce the edict. If possible, test Qu Jing'an and find the whereabouts of the flag guards."

Wen Yuzhi sneered in his heart and took out the imperial edict as instructed.

Judging from the ink on the imperial edict, it was obvious that it had been written a long time ago. It seemed that his father-in-law had long become a figure that the old emperor could not be happy about unless he got rid of him.

In the past, the old emperor was not in a hurry because he thought he could plan slowly. However, he didn't know that he might not live longer than the empress dowager, and now it is obvious that he is running out of energy.

So, the old emperor became anxious!

Want to clear all obstacles for the prince. Wen Yuzhi knew it well and quickly scanned the imperial edict.

The imperial edict ordered Lord Qu to go to Lucheng to suppress the bandits.

He knew that Lucheng was a place with rugged mountains and rivers, where many desperate criminals gathered. They had already recruited soldiers and had become a powerful force.

The imperial court also sent troops to suppress the bandits, but the effect was not very good. The bandits were very familiar with the terrain and disappeared once they ran into the mountains and forests, making them impossible to find.

As soon as the imperial troops left, they were reborn into a solid state and hijacked passing caravans.

Even in bad years, these bandits would come into the city in batches, robbing homes, raping and looting, committing all kinds of evil, and becoming a headache for the local government.

Wen Yuzhi agreed with the idea of ​​suppressing the banditry near Lucheng, but the fact that the old emperor specially sent Lord Qu to do it was something he should think deeply about.

Because, as far as he knew, the old emperor also had an organization of assassins based in Lucheng.

The old emperor suddenly started coughing violently. When the coughing stopped, he gave orders in his expectorant voice and with rapid breathing.

"I have given you a secret order. When Qu Jing'an returns with his troops to suppress the bandits, you will lead your men to attack him while he is tired and exhausted. You must keep him and his confidants in Lucheng."

A hint of coldness flashed across Wen Yuzhi's slightly lowered eyes, and he spoke in a respectful yet awkward tone.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for the emperor, but Lord Qu's troops will not be in short supply even after the bandits are suppressed. I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill the emperor's expectations and instead alert the enemy."

He sneered in his heart and said secretly.

"Since the old emperor wants to attack his father-in-law, then don't blame him for plotting against the assassin organization that the old emperor has kept in Lucheng. It would be a good idea to clean up the few people on his side who are loyal to the old emperor."

Sure enough, the old emperor spoke with confidence.

"Don't worry, my dear minister. I have already arranged elite troops in Lucheng. They will obey your orders. When the matter is done, I will naturally reward you."

Although the old emperor talked about rewards, he had already made plans in his heart. Once Lord Qu was dealt with, it would be a good opportunity to make public the fact that Wen Yuzhi assassinated Lord Qu. This would be a good opportunity to get rid of Wen Yuzhi in a fair and open manner!

Seeing the turbid light flashing in the old emperor's eyes, Wen Yuzhi understood.

If the old emperor was dying, he would certainly not be willing to let him, who holds great power, stay and create a hidden danger for the prince.

So, he himself is in danger too, right?

Wen Yuzhi smiled faintly, not panicking at all. The old emperor was old, the crown prince was dull and arrogant, and the other princes...

I don’t know if it was because the old emperor was too cruel in his behavior and all the consequences fell on his children and grandchildren. The healthiest son in the entire royal family is the current Crown Prince.

The remaining princes either died early or became disabled or mute, so the old emperor had to focus on supporting the crown prince.

……

The Mansion of Marquis Zhongyuan.

Lord Qu, who had just returned from the military camp, was stunned when he heard the doorman report that Prime Minister Wen had come to announce the decree.

The job of announcing the imperial decree is done by the chief steward around the emperor?

Today, Prime Minister Wen suddenly received the task of announcing the imperial decree. It is really puzzling.

After thinking for a while, he told the servant to prepare tea and snacks first, and then entertain them after Prime Minister Wen finished reading the decree.

Although he had a title, he had always been a military general leading troops. The imperial court had always been averse to military generals and civil officials getting too close. He had never had any contact with the prime minister who was the most favored by the emperor.

But since they are here today, I must not be impolite.

……

After the decree was announced, Lord Qu stood up and took the imperial edict with both hands. In his heart, he did not reject the idea of ​​being ordered to suppress the bandits. In his mind, the bandits in Lucheng were notorious and had long been notorious.

He had wanted to go and kill them before, but Lucheng was thousands of miles away from where he was stationed and was under the jurisdiction of another general.

If we go there rashly, it would be somewhat unjustifiable.

Now that I have the imperial edict in hand, I can finally do whatever I want!

When Wen Yuzhi saw Lord Qu's happy face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his father-in-law was really loyal and brave, and lived an extremely pure life. This kind of person would never rebel unless he was forced into a corner.

Moreover, he had no interest in the throne. He just wanted to stay with his beloved and children and had no intention of rebelling.

The old emperor is getting more and more confused as he gets older.

"Ahem, thank you Prime Minister Wen for coming here to announce the imperial edict. You must have worked hard on the journey. We have some tea and snacks ready in the mansion. If you don't mind, Lord Prime Minister, why don't you move to the main hall?" Lord Qu said politely.

Wen Yuzhi didn't dare to let Lord Qu bow to him, so he immediately stepped aside and bowed respectfully to Lord Qu first.

He was humble and polite, for he was afraid that in the future the Marquis would find out about what happened between him and Yueyue and would not acknowledge him as his future son-in-law. What would he do?

Lord Qu was overwhelmed by Wen Yuzhi's humble attitude! !

It is said that Prime Minister Wen looks down on ordinary people and ignores everyone except the emperor. Are these all rumors?

However, last time I saw Prime Minister Wen from afar, he was indifferent to the Crown Prince and didn't show him much good looks.

Today, Prime Minister Wen was so attentive in front of him, and he was so scared...

Wen Yuzhi saw Lord Qu holding his chest with his hands and his face changing constantly, with a mixture of hesitation, surprise, and confusion for a moment. He immediately knew that the Lord Qu had misunderstood.

He simply got straight to the point, and after checking that there was no one else around, he lowered his voice and told the emperor's conspiracy.

"...Lord Qu, you must be careful when you arrive in Lucheng, especially when it comes to suppressing bandits. You must leave some spare energy..."

It was not until Lord Qu came to his senses that he realized Wen Yuzhi had already left. Thinking of what Wen Yuzhi had just said, Lord Qu was still frightened.

Who would have thought that such a loyal and devoted person like him would be so feared by the emperor? He even went so far as to set a trap to capture him and his men!

Lord Qu was filled with grief and indignation, but also felt very confused?

How could Prime Minister Wen, the emperor's confidant, risk tipping him off on such a secret matter?

Lord Qu frowned, puzzled.

Although he didn't completely believe Wen Yuzhi's words now, Lord Qu still felt that he should make some preparations. Even if he didn't value his life, he still had those brothers who had been through thick and thin with him!

……

After Wen Yuzhi informed Lord Qu of the news, he happily traveled halfway across Kyoto to queue up at Wufangzhai to buy a pack of pea cakes that Qu Xinyue liked.

While the pastries were still hot and delicious, he put them in his arms and rushed back to Yushuyuan without stopping.

This is what Yueyue mentioned she wanted to eat this morning.

Qu Xinyue was lying in a rocking chair, fanning herself intermittently while looking at the account book.

Seeing Wen Yuzhi, who was extremely superior in both height and appearance, walking towards her against the light, a hint of joy welled up in her eyes, but she soon lay back lazily in the rocking chair, muttering something.

"Did you also drink the contraceptive soup before coming here this time?"

Regarding this topic, Qu Xinyue has completely laid down and given up. There is no way she can defeat this man who has been on guard against everything.

But I couldn't bear to see this bastard being so proud, so I couldn't help but say a few words to him deliberately.

Wen Yuzhi came to Qu Xinyue and fed a piece of pea cake that smelled of food into her mouth, saying in a normal tone, "I didn't drink it."

Qu Xinyue, who was chewing pea cake, was suddenly stunned. Her lazy look disappeared, her puffy cheeks looked very cute, and she looked at Wen Yuzhi in astonishment.
