Zhou Qian was also shocked when he heard Xia Luoluo's words. He didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this.
Yes, his master was not named Wei Xuanyuan at all. His master was a member of the royal family, but he had no name! No, it wasn't that he didn't have a name. Emperor Sulong ordered the East Palace to be burned down before he could even get a name.
He should have perished in the flames, but was rescued.
Zhou Qian was just thinking, when Xia Luoluo narrowed her eyes and spoke again.
"The female ghost actually said that the witch boy she gave birth to who could bring disaster is still alive. Prime Minister Zhou, what the Ai family wants you to do is to find this disaster star and execute him."
As soon as this was said, all the courtiers looked ugly and spoke with lingering fear.
"So what the female ghost said must be true. The disaster star is still alive. Otherwise, how could our Great Zhou Kingdom suffer so many disasters?"
"Isn't it? Locust plague, flood, hellfire, snow disaster! That witch boy must still be alive.'
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Prime Minister, you must find that witch boy and put him to death, otherwise the great Zhou Kingdom will probably continue to be in chaos!'
"Yes, we must find that witch boy no matter what the cost!"
The ministers had completely lost their minds. They were all shouting and shouting, and the crowd was furious, as if the turbulent and war-ridden days were brought about by that witch boy!
Zhou Qian's mood at this moment was indescribable. His and Wei Xuanyuan's plans for today were completely disrupted.
Apart from anything else, can Wei Xuanyuan's true identity be revealed?
If he really revealed it, he would be arrested by these irrational courtiers and burned to death directly.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qian's eyes flashed with helplessness, and then he looked at Xia Luoluo with cold eyes.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I can't ignore the fact that the palace is haunted. Whether it's a real ghost or a fake ghost, I will definitely investigate and get to the bottom of it.'
He only said to check for 'ghosts', but not for 'witch boys', so some timid courtiers reminded him.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please ask some eminent monks from several temples to come and send you away when it comes to the 'ghost'. The main thing is to find out the witch boy. Otherwise, how can the world be at peace?'
Zhou Qian was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't answer a word. He only said coldly, "You don't need to wait to remind me about this."
"With the Prime Minister to worry about you, the Ai family can rest assured." Xia Luoluo looked relaxed and said calmly, "Do the courtiers still have anything to do? If you have nothing to do, please leave the court.'
No one said anything, Zhou Qian shut his mouth tightly as if he were mute.
At this time, the timid courtier next to him nudged him with his elbow.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister? Why don't you report General Zhu's victory to the Emperor? Have you forgotten it?"
Zhou Qian:
He really wanted to hit this incomprehensible busybody to death with one elbow!
Can the good news be reported? It is simply fake, okay?
I could only pretend not to hear, feeling that today's incident seemed a bit embarrassing, so I'd better discuss it with the "master" first.
Zhou Qian pretended to be mute and didn't speak, and no one could do anything to him. At this time, the shrill voice of the chamberlain's father-in-law rang out again. "Retreat from the court~~"
So Xia Luoluo left the Jinluan Palace with the infant emperor in his arms, got on the chariot and left with a trembling heart.
Besides, Wei Xuanyuan had been waiting outside the palace, but what he waited and waited for was the courtiers coming out of the hall one after another, and everyone was cursing.
"Why is that damn witch boy so short-lived? He really brought disaster to Yi Qian Nian!" "Yes, as long as he is caught, he must be cut into pieces, otherwise the common people will not be angry." Seeing Wei Xuan
His eyes widened with vitality, Zhou Qian hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to him.
"Things have changed, let's talk about it back home."
Zhou Qian was afraid that the ministers would ask him about the good news, so he hurriedly asked Wei Xuanyuan to leave.
After leaving the palace gate and getting on the Prime Minister's carriage, Wei Xuanyuan couldn't wait to ask Zhou Qian.
"What's going on? What happened in the court? Why are all the ministers talking about the witch boy?" He was not stupid, and he had already vaguely guessed something in his heart.
Zhou Qian hurriedly answered.
"Today in the court hall, the Queen Mother suddenly said that the palace was haunted, and that the ghost was the Crown Princess who was buried in the fire twenty-five years ago. She said that the Princess' ghost revealed that the witch boy who was born with smallpox is still alive."
"Her words caused an uproar among the courtiers. Now all the courtiers hate the witch boy~~"
After hearing this, Wei Xuanyuan's mouth twitched.
"Zhou Qian, are you confused? I'm not that witch boy!"
"My subordinates know it," Zhou Qian said hurriedly, "but besides my subordinates, who else knows about this? Besides my subordinates, who else would believe it?"
"It has been so long, and those who knew what happened back then have probably been buried in the flames."
"What's more, the Empress Dowager is deliberately trying to create momentum today by saying that the witch boy is still alive. It seems that she intends to lead the witch boy's identity to you~~'
After hearing this, Wei Xuanyuan was so angry that his fists almost burst into flames.
"This damn woman, what does she want to do?'
"Is it possible that she wants to betray me? She has clearly seen my true face. Can't she not tell who I look like?"
I remember that when he was persuading Xia Luoluo to take the Love Gu, he showed Xia Luoluo his true face. Xia Luoluo seemed to suddenly realize his identity at that time.
So she specifically mentioned the witch boy today. Isn't her sinister intention clear?
Thinking of this, Wei Xuanyuan's face turned purple with anger, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.
Zhou Qian quickly advised: "Master, please calm down. If you tell me your true identity in such a tortuous way, no one will believe you."
"Not only will they not believe it, they will definitely identify you as the witch boy born to the Crown Princess!"
"It is precisely because of this that I feel that the important matter of ascending to the throne may have to be postponed, at least until I get rid of my identity as a witch boy."
Wei Xuanyuan said nothing and clenched his fist tightly.
How can he get rid of his identity as a witch boy?
The reason why he was secretly carried into the East Palace back then was because the crown prince and princess wanted to replace him with the real "witch boy" and prepare to be cremated and sacrificed to heaven.
Unfortunately, what everyone didn't expect was that Emperor Sulong would be so cruel and burned down the East Palace with a fire.
Although he was rescued by luck, there were traces of smallpox on his body.
So, how can he restore his true identity? How can he get rid of his identity as a witch boy?
Zhou Qian comforted him: "Master, don't think about it so much. Let's talk about it when we get home.'
Wei Xuanyuan remained silent, his mind a mess.
So why not Zhou Qian?
It was originally agreed with Wei Xuanyuan that today in the court, the twists and turns of the bizarre incident of replacement twenty-five years ago would be revealed. In this case, Wei Xuanyuan would become a sympathetic victim.
Later, he revealed the true identity of the baby on the throne and helped Wei Xuanyuan ascend the throne.
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Xia Luoluo actually took the lead and made a 'preconceived idea'. As a result, who would believe the twists and turns of the bizarre replacement story 25 years ago? Everyone would only regard Wei Xuanyuan as a real witch.
child!
Back at the Prime Minister's Palace, Wei Xuanyuan slumped down on a chair, looking quite shocked.
"Witch boy or not, I'll just take the throne." Wei Xuanyuan said angrily.
"No, Master." Zhou Qian hurriedly advised, "The Great Zhou Kingdom has great faith in the unlucky witch boy. You don't know how fierce the reaction of the courtiers in the court today was. It is impossible for them to tolerate such a person."
To be an emperor."
Wei Xuanyuan spread his hands in anger
"Then tell me, is there any way to restore my reputation right now? To restore my true identity?"
Zhou Qian said, "Send Mr. Ding to investigate and get to the bottom of this matter. However, the matter of the throne must be slowed down~~ Master, don't worry, that position should be yours or yours, as long as General Zhu guards it well."
Jinzhou, please don't let the Night King come in. Aren't we the ones who have the final say in this capital?'
Wei Xuanyuan thought for a while, slapped his thigh and said.
"Okay, then I will figure out that position slowly. I will eventually get it."
After talking about this matter for a while, Zhou Qian asked Wei Xuanyuan, "What about the empress dowager?"
"Let that bastard sit in that position first." Wei Xuanyuan's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile, "Xia Luoluo, let her live for a few more days~~ By the way, write a letter to Daqi to let them
Find a skilled Gu Master and transfer the love Gu from Xia Luoluo's body, and her life will no longer be spared."
"Yes, master." Zhou Qian responded and called his men to make arrangements.
In the Jade Phoenix Hall of the Imperial Palace, Xia Luoluo came back by chariot after going down to court. As soon as he got off the chariot, he said to Song Zhu.
"Go and call the Phantom.'
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess." Song Zhu responded hurriedly and quickly led Phantom into the palace.
"You all should go out." Charlotte sent all the servants away, and then looked at the Phantom.
"The Ai family wants to meet Ding An and Master Ding. Do you have any way to bring him into the palace?"
She prevented Wei Xuanyuan from ascending the throne in the court today. Wei Xuanyuan must have known that she had betrayed him, so now she had no other way to go and simply broke with Wei Xuanyuan.
And once she breaks with Wei Xuanyuan, she will have only one ally, Ding Anhe.
Why did Ding Anhe write that note to her? Why did he tell her that Wei Xuanyuan was preparing to overthrow the new emperor's plan to ascend the throne today in the court? Who is hiding behind Ding Anhe?
Yaoh?
This~~ should also be impossible. The Night King designed to unjustly accuse Ding An and 'burn down Shenjia Village', causing him to be imprisoned and almost beheaded. It is impossible for the two to cooperate in any case.
If it’s not the Night King, then could it be the Crown Prince Wei Yuande?
But Wei Yuande was already paralyzed in bed.
Unless, his illness has been cured?
Thinking of this, Xia Luoluo became more determined to see Ding Anhe.
"Your Highness, I will find a way." Phantom replied.
"Okay, as soon as possible." Charlotte couldn't sit still, and walked around the hall from time to time. Seeing the Phantom getting ready to leave, he ordered, "Transfer all your killers to the Jade Phoenix Palace to protect this princess. My princess is now
We have broken with Wei Xuanyuan and are currently in great danger."
"Yes, Your Highness Princess, I will make arrangements right now." Phantom said and turned to leave.
In the past few years in the Great Zhou Kingdom, he had trained many dead soldiers, and protecting Xia Luoluo's safety was not a problem.
