After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

"Kirin?"

Emperor Liang was greatly shocked. "Sir, what do you mean--"

Mr. Ziwu said softly, "Your Majesty has two imperial grandchildren, but Qilin has only one, and he lives in the Crown Prince's Mansion."

Emperor Liang frowned and asked, "Sir, do you think Yuan'er is the Qilin who protects the country?"

Mr. Ziwu met the Emperor Liang's sharp gaze and said calmly, "It's not what I think, but it's God's will."

This is why the divination of the national teacher does not match.

Emperor Liang withdrew his gaze and looked at the lush green leaves outside the window: "Although I have long heard of your great name, Qi'er was brought back to the imperial city by the Imperial Master. Your opinion is different from that of the Imperial Master, which makes me feel a little troubled."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ziwu did not immediately start a fluent argument, but smiled and said calmly: "Your Majesty was troubled by what I said, instead of punishing me for spreading rumors and misleading the public. Doesn't this show that Your Majesty is not that satisfied with Qilin now?"

Emperor Liang paused, shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Qi'er."

Lu Qi was the first imperial grandson recognized by him, and the one who broke his curse of having no descendants. The hope and joy that Lu Qi brought him were irreplaceable.

But Yuan'er was a truly unique child. He made her experience the true joy of family.

Yuan'er is also irreplaceable.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

If there was anything, it was probably that Prince Jin framed his brothers and disappointed him.

Naturally, in the royal family, quarrels between brothers are inevitable.

This position will eventually be fought for with bloodshed.

The more grandsons the better, but Emperor Liang knew that there could only be one Qilin to protect the country.

"This is a matter of national importance, so we should be extremely cautious."

Emperor Liang's words were already giving face to Mr. Ziwu.

After all, in Emperor Liang's mind, Lu Qi has a preconceived notion. If Lu Yuan wasn't so likable... Emperor Liang would probably have "invited" Mr. Ziwu out of the palace long ago.

Mr. Ziwu also understood that it would not be easy to shake Lu Qi's position.

He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty works day and night and is busy with many things. I am sorry to bother you. I just asked for a fortune in my spare time. Your Majesty, don't take it to heart."

Emperor Liang said, "I understand your intentions, sir. There is no need to retreat in order to advance."

Mr. Ziwu: You are worthy of being grandparents and grandchildren, your words are so choking.

Emperor Liang said to Eunuch Yu, "Send Mr. Ziwu away."

Mr. Ziwu stood up tactfully and said, "I'll take my leave."

Eunuch Yu said politely, "Mr. Ziwu, please."

After leaving the palace, Mr. Ziwu got on the carriage of the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as I opened the curtain, I was shocked by the number of heads inside.

Who can tell him where this car full of strange people came from?

The one with white hair, the one with blue eyes, a child cleaning a bow, and an iron-faced killer.

"Why are even people from Qianji Pavilion here?"

Mr. Ziwu's eyes fell on Shangguan Ling.

Shangguan Ling bowed and said, "Greetings, sir."

The carriage was so packed that Mr. Ziwu had no place to step.

"Yu Zichuan."

Lu Yuan spoke lightly.

"Oh."

Yu Zichuan lifted the curtain and sat on the roof of the car.

Shangguan Ling pulled him down and pressed him on the outer seat: "Get off here! Are you afraid that I won't recognize you?"

Yu Zichuan's face darkened with resentment.

The left side was just wiped three times.

As soon as Shangguan Ling let go, he immediately flew onto the roof of the car, quickly wiped the right side of the bow three times, and then sat back comfortably on the outer seat.

"Youjiwei, Jili."

"Chen Long."

"Snake."

The three of them introduced themselves to Mr. Ziwu one by one.

Mr. Ziwu: "...I don't want to get on your pirate ship."

Lu Yuan: "It's too late."

Ji Li waved his folding fan and said, "Since the master already knows our identities, we will be in the same boat from now on."

Mr. Ziwu: "I refuse."

Ji Li smiled and stretched out his hand: "Sir, could you please return the compass and tortoise shell to me?"

Mr. Ziwu sat down in the seat vacated by Yu Zichuan, took out the weapon from his wide sleeves and returned it to Ji Li.

Lu Yuan asked, "How was the performance? Did His Majesty believe it?"

Mr. Ziwu glared at him and said, "I'm not His Majesty, go ask him yourself."

Ji Li waved his folding fan and said, "I guess it won't be that easy to shake Qianji Pavilion and Lu Qi."

Chen Long looked at Lu Yuan coldly and said, "Isn't it because he is inferior to others in every way? He is not as knowledgeable as others, nor is he as virtuous. When he arrived at the palace, he either ate, drank and had fun, or acted like a fool. He pretended to be a Qilin? He didn't even know how to pretend properly!"

Lu Yuan said leisurely: "I am in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you."

Chen Long taunted, "If you can't beat him, then don't try to save face."

Ji Li said to Lu Yuan: "If you can't beat me, I'll help you. I've been annoyed with this worm for a long time."

"Then I'll kill you first!"

Chen Long slapped Ji Li with one palm.

The Si Snake in the middle of the two grabbed Chen Long's wrist and said, "Don't fight in front of me."

Chen Long said calmly: "You can also join."

Boom!

Yu Zichuan stabbed Shangguan Ling with his bow at lightning speed.

"I rely on!"

Shangguan Ling was in so much pain that he kicked Yu Zichuan off the carriage.

Mr. Ziwu was stunned when he saw the group of people who had already torn apart the carriage in less than half an hour.

Are you sure you are in the same group?

-

The news of Mr. Ziwu's entry into the palace soon reached Concubine Hu's palace.

Truth cannot be hidden, and Lu Yuan also deliberately spread the false news that he is the real Qilin.

Therefore, Concubine Hu soon heard Mr. Ziwu's hexagram about the Qilin.

She was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up: "What nonsense! First you tried to steal my grandson, and now the truth is out, you are about to lose your position as the crown prince, and you are planning to take advantage of Qilin's fate! Lu Zhaoyan, I misjudged you before! You are the one with the most evil ambitions!"

"For so many years, I was really guarding against the wrong person!"

"Prepare the sedan chair. I want to see His Majesty!"

Concubine Hu went to the imperial study in great rage.

As soon as she entered the door, she burst into tears: "Your Majesty——"

Emperor Liang felt a headache and held his forehead.

Eunuch Yu had just gone to get food for Baozhuzhu, and after a while, Concubine Hu entered the imperial study.

He thought to himself that this was not good, and asked Xiao Dezi, "Why didn't you stop him?"

Xiao Dezi said fearfully: "I dare not stop it..."

Eunuch Yu patted his forehead and said, "Remember to stop him next time!"

Xiao Dezi hurriedly said, "Yes, godfather!"

"Your Majesty! My life is so miserable—"

Concubine Hu pulled out her handkerchief and cried, "Thinking back to the time when your majesty went on the southern expedition... my brother..."

Again.

Eunuch Yu took a deep breath.

Concubine Hu has two elder brothers. The second brother died while saving His Majesty, and the eldest brother is now a general.

Concubine Hu and Emperor Liang had known each other since childhood, so they could be considered childhood sweethearts.

She also gave birth to Emperor Liang's eldest son, so her status was self-evident.

No wonder Xiao Dezi didn’t dare to stop her.

Concubine Hu first recalled the past with great pain, telling how difficult it was for her to accompany Emperor Liang for many years. Then, she talked about the misunderstanding of her grandson being recognized by the Prince's Mansion.

"I don't know how long I can accompany Your Majesty... I don't admit that Your Majesty has been deceived by a villain. Qi'er is Your Majesty's eldest grandson. He is the guardian of the country. An aide who came out of nowhere dared to question the hexagram of the national teacher. Your Majesty! This person has ulterior motives and must not be trusted!"

Emperor Liang sighed: "Where did you hear all this from?"

Concubine Hu said aggrievedly: "It has spread throughout the harem."

Emperor Liang frowned: "You are the one who spread it again?"

Concubine Hu immediately said: "This time it's not your concubine!"

Emperor Liang glanced at her and said, "So, it was you who spread the news that Qi'er was the Prince of Jin's biological child last time?"

Concubine Hu choked.

"I am old now, and I need to take a rest. I will take my leave."

Concubine Hu left angrily.

Emperor Liang stood in the imperial study, looking at the scenery outside the window and listening to the sound of Baozhu's milk. He seemed to have made some kind of decision and said, "Pass it on to the Imperial Master."

-

Qianji Pavilion.

Xiao Rong'er was tidying up Gongsun Yanming's clothes: "I altered the sleeves. Do they still fit?"

Gongsun Yanming hummed lightly.

Xiao Rong'er tied the belt for him and looked at him in the bronze mirror: "This is the outfit Liuying decided to wear on the wedding day."

Gongsun Yanming said: "It's up to you to decide."

Xiao Ronger's eyes moved, and she continued to tie his belt: "The things we sent to the Prince's Mansion have been taken back. Should we send them to the Prince of Jin's Mansion, or make new ones and send them there?"

Gongsun Yanming said: "The wedding date has only been delayed for half a month. I'm afraid it will be too late to make a new one. Just send it over directly."

Xiao Ronger didn't say anything when she heard that her husband didn't seem to care much about their daughter's marriage.

"Second brother!"

Gongsun Yu strode into the house.

Xiao Ronger quickly pulled her hand back.

Gongsun Yu was startled and said awkwardly: "My sister-in-law is here too. I was too reckless."

Gongsun Yanming asked, "What's the matter?"

Gongsun Yu looked at Xiao Rong'er and said to Gongsun Yanming, "Brother, something big has happened. Mr. Ziwu, who was invited back to the palace by the prince last time, came to the palace this morning and told Your Majesty that Prince Jian is a fake Qilin, and the prince's son is the real Qilin. He asked Your Majesty to correct the chaos as soon as possible, otherwise the fate of the country will be shaken!"

Xiao Ronger's expression changed slightly: "What? Is this true?"

A hint of majesty flashed in Gongsun Yanming's eyes.

Gongsun Yu asked anxiously: "Brother, what should we do?"

Gongsun Yanming asked, "Your Majesty, have you dealt with Mr. Ziwu?"

Gongsun Yu shook his head: "No, he even asked Eunuch Yu to escort him out of the palace personally. Brother, His Majesty's attitude is not good. His Majesty was not so polite to those who questioned Prince Jian before!"

Gongsun Yanming said calmly: "They are not Wushan's disciples either."

Xiao Ronger said softly, "I heard that Mr. Ziwu and the Miaojiang Goddess were from the same school and he was the Goddess's senior brother. I didn't expect that the Prince's Mansion actually bribed him. If I had known this, I shouldn't have asked Qi'er to help the Prince invite Mr. Ziwu out that day."

Gongsun Yu sighed, "Who said it wasn't true? It was Qi'er who invited the person down the mountain, but in the end, it became a sharp sword for the prince to deal with Qi'er! That Dou Qingyi is really something, how could she recognize the wrong person?"

Xiao Ronger sighed softly: "He relied on Qi'er to become the crown prince. Now that he can't use Qi'er, he wants to destroy Qi'er. This crown prince is really cruel and ruthless. Fortunately, although Your Majesty did not punish Mr. Ziwu, he did not believe his nonsense. Your Majesty is wise and will not be deceived by treacherous people."

Gongsun Yanming did not respond to Xiao Ronger's question, but asked Gongsun Yu: "How is the progress of the investigation I asked you to do?"

Gongsun Yu said, "Brother, there's something strange about Lu Linyuan! He came to the Imperial City to visit relatives and friends. The family's surname is Yu. I checked and found out that it's just an old wine shop. They used to make a living in the market town near our Lingshan Mountain. They saved some money and wanted to come to the Imperial City to make a living."

"The weird thing is, he looks a lot like someone."

Gongsun Yanming asked: "Who?"

Gongsun Yu spoke word by word: "The treacherous minister of the Great Zhou, Lu Yuan."

Gongsun Yanming's eyes became fierce.

At this time, a disciple came from outside the door: "Master, His Majesty summons you!"

-

Side hall.

Gongsun Yanming bowed to Emperor Liang and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Liang raised his hand: "Sit down and have a drink with me."

Gongsun Yanming knelt opposite Emperor Liang.

Xiao Dezi poured wine for them.

Emperor Liang sighed and said, "Have you heard about Mr. Ziwu's entry into the palace?"

"heard."

Gongsun Yan Ming Dao.

Emperor Liang asked, "What do you think?"

Gongsun Yanming said: "Master uncle is my elder, I dare not criticize him."

Emperor Liang picked up the wine bowl and said, "I forgot that the old Pavilion Master was also a disciple of Wushan."

Gongsun Yanming recalled: "It was many years ago. My master often told me that the happiest days of his life were those years in Wushan."

Emperor Liang looked at him intently. "So, whose divination is more accurate, the old Pavilion Master or Mr. Ziwu?"

Gongsun Yanming said: "Master, he is not well versed in hexagrams."

Emperor Liang asked again, "What about you? Between you and Mr. Ziwu, who is more powerful?"

Gongsun Yanming said sternly: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Liang raised his head and drank a bowl of strong liquor, "What courage!"

Emperor Liang was a martial artist. He drank a bowl of strong liquor without changing his expression. "You and Ziwu both claimed that you found the real Qilin, but whose words are true? I am also confused."

Gongsun Yanming said slowly, "Your Majesty, I want to present you with a painting."

"Oh?"

Emperor Liang looked at him with interest.

Gongsun Yanming took out the scroll from his wide sleeves and handed it to Eunuch Yu.

After Eunuch Yu took it, he untied the silk ribbon and slowly opened it on the table.

Emperor Liang took a closer look, frowned and asked, "Why do you have Yuan'er's portrait in your hand?"

The reason why he frowned was not because Gongsun Yanming had a portrait of Lu Yuan, but because of Lu Yuan's clothes in the portrait.

Gongsun Yanming said to Emperor Liang: "Your Majesty, the person in the portrait is Lu Yuan, the first-rank commander-in-chief of the Great Zhou court."

"Lu Yuan?"

Linyuan, Yuan.

Emperor Liang was silent.

Gongsun Yanming said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Lu Linyuan has never confessed his identity to you? Of course, it is also possible that someone made a mistake, and the person in the portrait just looks similar to Master Linyuan."

"Great grandpa, great grandpa!"

Baozhuzhu entered the house.

Emperor Liang relaxed his frown and reached out to catch the little ball that was running towards him.

Bao Zhuzhu fell into his arms and said, "Grandpa!"

Emperor Liang's heart softened: "Are you hungry?"

Bao Zhuzhu patted his belly and said, "I'm hungry. I want to have dinner with Grandpa!"

Emperor Liang smiled and said, "Okay!"

Gongsun Yanming looked at Baoshu: "This must be Miss Zhaozhao, right?"

Bao Zhuzhu tilted his head: "Who are you?"

Gongsun Yanming said gently: "I am Gongsun Yanming, Miss Zhaozhao, do you know who your parents are?"

Bao Zhuzhu nodded.

Gongsun Yanming said gently, "Your great grandfather and I really want to know the names of your parents. Can you tell us?"
