1045. Chapter 1045 Planning

Murong Ke did not tell Murong Zhan about the dagger. He wanted to make sure first whether 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 wrong?" Song Jiong passed by the second door and saw Murong Ke standing in a pavilion not far away in a daze, so he walked over and asked curiously.

Murong Ke came back to 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 going on? Do you want me to call Teng Ye back?"

"When did I mention him?" Murong Ke asked calmly.

"Pavilion Master, you still refuse to forgive him. It's been a long time since you guys have passed. Please stop blaming him." Song Jiong interceded for Teng Ye. He knew that Teng Ye had done something wrong and touched the bottom line of the Pavilion Master. , but he must have known he was wrong by now.

Murong Ke glanced at Song Jiong, "He still doesn't know where he went wrong. You don't have to speak for him anymore. I have my own opinion on when to let him come back."

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 lowered his voice and said, "Go and inquire about something for me."

"Qi State?" Song Jiong was stunned, "Pavilion Master, what do you want me to do in Qi State?"

Murong Ke said quietly, "Follow me."

He took Song Jiong back to the house and drew the dagger that Zhao Ning had just seen, as well as the ancient Chinese character "Yong" on it. "Go to Qi State and ask if anyone has seen this dagger. There is also this character on the dagger. 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, "Pavilion Master, do you suspect that Miss Zhao is... the princess of Qi?"

"Then it depends on what you can find out by going to Qi State." Murong Ke whispered, "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 own reasons. Since he said he couldn't let others know, he must keep it secret.

"Go ahead, the sooner you can find out, the better." Murong Ke said.

Song Jiong responded in a low voice and walked out of the room with the portrait.

Murong Ke frowned and looked out the window in deep thought. He recalled everything he had seen in his dream and felt a little heavy.

"Sixth Prince, Your Majesty invites you to come over for a drink." After an unknown amount of time, Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside.

"This king is coming." Murong Ke put away his thoughts and wiped his face vigorously, letting go of all doubts.

Compared to the bustling front yard, the backyard seems a little quieter.

Anhe City was not a place belonging to the Kingdom of Jin, so there were not many female relatives that could be invited. However, Ye Zhen still had a banquet held in the backyard to celebrate Jin Shanshan's happy event.

Hongying came to Ye Zhen's side and said, "Empress, Zhao Ning has been handed over to the Sixth Prince."

"Did the Sixth Prince say anything?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.

"No, the emperor happens to be here, but the emperor seems to have forgotten Zhao Ning." Hongying said.

Ye Zhen nodded lightly, "Since it has been handed over to the Sixth Prince, there is no need to pay any more attention to it. You should also go and have a cup of wedding wine, and later go to Mrs. Ye to ask for the reward."

On such a big day, there is no need to let Zhao Ning affect your mood.

…

…

Jin Kingdom, Kyoto, Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother sent all the people serving around her outside, leaving only her brother Qiu Yaozong beside her to talk.

"You said the emperor is missing? How true is this?" the queen mother asked him in a low voice, but there was no worry or nervousness on her face, and there was actually a trace of expectation on her face.

"Queen Mother, this is absolutely true. The Emperor fell off a cliff and was missing for several days and has not been found. I'm afraid it's a disaster. I heard this from a person named Lu. I heard that the Emperor was here for Went to kill Lu Lingzhi, and the two of them fell into the Anhe River together. Oops, the Anhe River is in the rainy season now, and the current is very fast. Even if a person with good water quality falls in, he will not be able to survive." Qiu Yaozong was very lively. As he said that, he did not dare to say that someone secretly came to his house to tell him about this. Now that Qiu Yaozu was ordered to kill his son, and the emperor did not regard him as his maternal uncle, he did not need to worry too much.

"If this is true... I'm afraid the court will be in chaos." The Queen Mother said thoughtfully.

"Queen Mother, it's better to think about what to do now. The Emperor has no heirs, and the succession to the throne is a big deal." Qiu Yaozong said anxiously.

"You are right, this is a big deal. Although the Emperor has no heirs, fortunately he still has Ayi. They are brothers from the same mother. Apart from Ayi, no one is more suitable." The Queen Mother nodded gently, thinking in her heart. I have forgotten that there is Ye Zhen.

Qiu Yaozong thought that although the young prince was not so polite to his uncle, he was still more capable than Mo Rongzhan. If he could really help him ascend to the throne, he might be grateful to him in the future, "Queen Mother, without further ado, It’s better to quickly find a way for the young prince to ascend the throne first, so as not to cause the rest of the clan to covet the news."

Ever since she and the emperor broke up on bad terms several times because of Lu Yaoyao's affairs, the Queen Mother had always had an unknown thought in her heart. She thought that it would be great if Ayi became the emperor, and he would definitely listen to her in everything. Against her. As for A Zhan... probably because he had not been particularly close to her since he was a child, she always felt that she understood her son less and less. She had never had such an idea before.

It was Lu Yaoyao who changed him.

"Have all the matters in Zhenyuan been resolved?" The Queen Mother suddenly changed the subject. Although she used Qiu Yaozong to do things for her, it did not mean that she was willing to let him intervene in helping Ayi ascend the throne.

In her mind, the greatest use of Qiu Yaozong was to get information for her outside. As for other things, he didn't have that ability.

Mentioning his son, Qiu Yaozong said displeased, "Queen Mother, that Qiu Yaozong is nothing. He actually wanted to imprison Zhenyuan on the basis of the emperor's decree. Zhenyuan is your only nephew. The Qiu family With such a single seedling, Queen Mother, you must protect Zhenyuan."

"What are you worried about? If we wait a few more days and wait for the news that the emperor has passed away to officially spread, will he still dare to do anything to Zhenyuan?" The Queen Mother glared at him and said.

Qiu Yaozong was overjoyed when he heard this. Yes, how could he have forgotten that if the emperor changed someone, could Qiu Yaozong still take the oracle and arrest Zhenyuan? By then, he, Qiu Yaozong, might be able to dominate the sky in Kyoto.

Don't think that he doesn't know what the Queen Mother is thinking. Just wait. In the end, she can only rely on him.

"The Queen Mother is still thoughtful." Qiu Yaozong said with a smile, "Then... Queen Mother, what should we do next?"

"You go back first, the Ai family will make arrangements for themselves."

If you want Ayi to ascend the throne, you must first win over the cabinet ministers.
