After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

"But if Lord Qi is determined to go against the Great Zhou Dynasty, then I will definitely eliminate the scourge for the court."

Qi Bin was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Highness, please calm down. I dare not tell a single lie. It was really the prince who sent me to tell fortunes."

"Really?" Murong Yan asked again, "Are you sure Master Qi is not lying?"

"I swear to heaven that I won't tell a single lie!"

"Very good!" He was too lazy to waste words, "Xiao Chunzi."

"The slave is here."

"Send Lord Qi to the East Palace Prison and let him experience the punishment in my prison until Lord Qi is willing to tell the truth."

"Slave, you obey!"

Xiao Chunzi looked at Qi Bin with a fake smile on his face, "Master Qi, let's go, there are many new things waiting for you in the dungeon."

When Qi Bin heard this, he was so frightened that his legs went limp and the ground was wet.

"Your Highness, I remember now." He begged in panic, "The prince also told me something."

"Oh?" Murong Yan took a sip of tea and asked, "Master Qi, did you remember it so quickly?"

"Yes! I remember now. I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince to spare my life!"

"Okay, I will listen to it reluctantly. However, Master Qi, this is your last chance, and I hope you can cherish it."

"Wei Chen understands!"

Qi Bin felt miserable! In order to avoid suspicion, he never had any private contact with any ministers in the court except Prime Minister Liu, just to keep his wealth and glory.

Who would have thought that the prince would ask me to calculate my fortune late at night, which would lead to my own death. There is really no escape.

"The prince asked me to go over and tell his fortune. He told me that this woman is a demon and will affect the future of the Zhou Dynasty."

"Whose horoscope?"

"I don't know, I only know the other party's birthday." After saying this, he told the prince the horoscope he had just learned.

Murong Yan frowned. How could he know who this woman was just by looking at her birth data?

However, a person suddenly appeared in his mind, Mrs. Xie.

If this was true, then he understood that the Emperor's uncle wanted to use his father to eliminate Madam Xie and the entire Xie family, and then join forces with the Southern Kingdom's spies to deal with him.

The emperor's uncle really played a good hand and made a good calculation.

"When do you plan to tell Father about this?"

"Your Highness, there is no specific date. I need to wait until the weather becomes abnormal before I can inform Your Majesty of this matter."

Although Qi Bin is a villain, he has made some achievements in metaphysics.

He told the prince his calculations, "I speculate that within ten days, there will be an unusual sight, which is also the legendary omen of great misfortune."

"Is your guess correct?"

"Your Majesty, I have several masters of metaphysics in my mansion, and this is our joint judgment."

Murong Yan nodded silently. He felt that this was a good opportunity. If he could take advantage of the situation and let the emperor's uncle show his true colors, it would be a good strategy.

"Master Qi, you must act according to the plan, but you must not tell anyone about what happened today, understand?"

"Ah?" Qi Bin thought he had heard wrongly. The prince actually asked him to continue lying to the emperor?

"You don't need to know the reason. Just tell your father what you should say. But you have never seen me."

"Wei Chen understands!"

"Yes. Lord Qi is smart. If this matter is handled well, I will not pursue your past. You will receive the salary from the court, and your descendants will not be affected."

"But if you fail to do this, you and the dozen or so concubines in your backyard will probably suffer."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I understand."

Qi Bin was terrified. "Prince, please don't blame me. The prince is the crown prince and the future emperor. This concerns the lives of his entire family."

After the prince had arranged all this, he sent someone to tell Yun Zhihan about this and asked her to make preparations early to prevent the assassination by King Fenyang.

Yun Zhihan also sent someone to convey the message to the prince, asking him to keep a close eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the next few days, Prince Fenyang would definitely take action because the Imperial Observatory was promoted by Prime Minister Liu.

This means that Prince Fenyang has another handle on him.

The two men had a tacit understanding and the same idea, and were both waiting for King Fenyang to fall into the trap.

Prince Fenyang did not disappoint them. After confirming with Qi Bin the days when abnormal celestial phenomena might occur, he came to visit Prime Minister Liu.

"Prime Minister Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are well."

"Oh, Your Majesty, you are a rare guest today. Please come in!"

Prime Minister Liu had a bad feeling in his heart that this person had ill intentions.

He heard that Qi Bin had been in contact with Prince Fenyang in recent days, and that it was the prince who took the initiative to come to him, so he knew that this person was still ready to make a move.

"Prime Minister Liu, how are you these days? I heard that you have been in poor health recently. I am very worried. I have specially brought a batch of high-quality medicinal materials from the vassal state. I hope that the Prime Minister can recover soon and continue to serve the court."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am old now, and I am afraid I will disappoint Your Majesty."

The implication is: I'm about to retire, so stay away from me. He doesn't want to lose his reputation in his later years, and he doesn't want his descendants to get involved in trouble.

Prince Fenyang understood what he meant, but there was nothing he could do, he was short of people, and Prime Minister Liu held a high position of power, plus the relationship between the two families, this person was undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, you are too modest. I think that with your physique, you can still serve the court for more than ten years."

Prime Minister Liu smiled awkwardly and declined, "Your Majesty is partial to me, but I'm afraid my body won't last much longer."

"How could it be?"

The two chatted for a while, and the King of Fenyang got straight to the point, "Prime Minister, I came here today because I have something to ask of you. Please dismiss your attendants."

The stone hanging in Prime Minister Liu's heart was completely blocked in his chest. What was coming was finally coming. Alas!

He reluctantly sent all the servants around him out, leaving only the two of them in the room.

"Your Highness, please speak frankly." He was too lazy to pretend.

"The Prime Minister is a straightforward person. I have been in the vassal state for a long time. After returning to the capital, I found that my brother was ill and the crown prince was young. I am afraid that he could not bear the heavy burden of the court."

"But the Great Zhou cannot be left without a successor. I am willing to come out again for the sake of the descendants of the Great Zhou. I wonder if I can get the support of the Prime Minister?"

"Your Highness, I think this is wrong. Although the Crown Prince is young, he has been the regent for several months and has handled the affairs of the court very smoothly. Your Highness does not need to worry about him."

"Oh? It seems that the Prime Minister is still pinning his hopes on the Fifth Prince."

Prime Minister Liu was startled and quickly explained, "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense! The Fifth Prince has already gone to the vassal state, and the Emperor has issued an order that he must not return to the capital without necessary matters. How dare this old minister have such thoughts?"

He had indeed given up. Ever since the Fifth Prince left, he had realized the situation in the court. In addition, he was old and none of his children were particularly outstanding. It would be better for him to send the Fifth Prince far away and let him be a free and easy prince to save his life.
