Second marriage to the regent

Su Junxi went to the palace gate to keep her appointment based on the contents of the letter, but she saw no one except the guards in front of the palace gate. Could it be that this letter was written deliberately by someone who wanted to tease her?

She was afraid that Li Junyi would find out that she had left the palace and would raise an army to accuse her when she came back. Just when she was about to turn around and go back, she saw He Ning's figure.

"What a coincidence, I met the princess here." He Ning greeted with a smile.

Recalling what she said when sending the invitation the day before her wedding, I couldn't see any falsehood. But why did Ye Tong see the scene of Li Junyi having a good relationship with the emperor on the day of the wedding?

"Is Princess He Ning going to the palace?" Su Junxi looked at her with suspicion.

I was thinking, could it be a letter from her?

But considering that the palace was heavily guarded, she would never be able to deliver the letter, let alone deliver it to her bed.

At this moment, she gave up her doubts about He Ning.

He Ning nodded: "The Queen has told me to enter the palace. If the princess is fine, why don't you come with me to see the Queen?"

He Ning didn't want to see the Queen, but she couldn't help but sent people to send messages several times. She happened to meet a familiar person at the gate of the palace, and it would be more pleasant to have some company.

Thinking that now that she was here, Su Junxi simply agreed to He Ning.

The grandeur of Yongning Palace made Su Junxi doubt her life for a while. No wonder the concubines in the palace broke their heads trying to climb to this position.

Such a magnificent residence, coupled with her status as a mother in the world, is indeed worthy of it.

"How does this Yongning Palace compare with the Queen Mother's Cining Palace?" He Ning stepped over the steps and turned back to ask Su Junxi with a smile.

Su Junxi remained calm in the face of danger: "The reason why Yongning Palace is so noble is that it matches the empress's status as the mother of the world. As the emperor's concubine, her residence is grand, which reflects the empress dowager's broad-mindedness to accommodate the harem. .”

"Princess, she managed to hold two bowls of water evenly." He Ning walked into Yongning Palace with a smile.

Xiu Niang, who came to greet her at the door, looked surprised when she saw Su Junxi behind He Ning.

He Ning explained: "I happened to meet the princess when I entered the palace, so we came together to visit the empress."

Xiu Niang only came to pick up He Ning, and did not expect Su Junxi to appear in Yongning Palace. However, since she was a princess, she could not refuse, so she said, "Please."

The embroiderer led the two people around the front hall to the pavilion in the garden.

The weather is bright today, and the lake is sparkling, making Su Junxi's eyes blurry.

"See the Queen," the two said in unison.

The empress looked up and saw Su Junxi. She was not surprised by his arrival. Instead, she said calmly: "No need to be polite, sit down."

The Queen Empress was smiling, which was different from what she had seen several times before.

"I wonder why the Queen summoned me to the palace today?" He Ning couldn't help but ask as soon as she took her seat.

"There has been a big event in Kyoto recently. For your safety, I have asked the emperor for permission to let you two brothers and sisters move to the palace. What do you think, princess?" The queen's every frown and smile made people's hearts tremble.

What happened that made even the Queen of Yongning Palace feel uneasy?

While Su Junxi was thinking about it, He Ning spoke first: "Since the Queen has spoken, how can my brother and I say no? I just want the Queen to tell me something about what happened in Kyoto."

Speaking of this, the Empress sighed and looked worried: "I heard that the daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace disappeared yesterday. Something happened to General Jiang's daughter a few days ago. Just a few days ago, something happened again. Your Majesty and I also wanted to For the safety of you two brothers and sisters.”

No wonder Li Junyi was so anxious. The disappearance of the prime minister's daughter had a huge impact on the court.

"It's really not fair to say so. Then He Ning will thank the Emperor and the Queen for my brother. When I return to the inn, I will inform my brother about this." She should go back and discuss with Jing Ge whether to go back. The Western Region.

Tian Zhao was rumored to be like a god, but now, what she saw was that troubles occurred frequently, and they were all involving powerful ministers and daughters. How can the important officials of the imperial court protect the people of this huge country if they can't even protect their own families?

Not to mention it would be helpful to them in the Western Region.

Once you have this idea in your mind, it is difficult to give it up.

Su Junxi seemed to see He Ning's thoughts from her face.

"The princess has just gotten married, so she should stay well in the palace and come back when peace prevails!" The Queen was not concerned about Su Junxi's safety, but was afraid that if something happened to her, it would affect Li Junyi's efficiency.

At court today, she had discussed with the emperor in advance and handed over the matter to Li Junyi. Firstly, it could test his loyalty, and secondly, even if the prime minister's daughter was not recovered, the matter could be left to Li Junyi.

But the emperor above the court did not go as smoothly as expected.

"For the love of you, do you have any opinion?" The emperor was very anxious about this matter.

The ministers were discussing among themselves, but none of them could come up with a useful strategy.

A minister who had been notified by the emperor in advance stood up and said: "This matter is not trivial. Our strength is limited. The emperor might as well leave this matter to the regent. With the prince's strength, it is no problem to recover the prime minister's daughter."

Li Junyi was expressionless after hearing this. He knew that what was supposed to come would eventually come.

He was about to use the excuse of just getting married to get out of the matter, but General Zhou stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Wang said is absolutely true! It's just that the prince does not have many manpower. If the prince is allowed to take over this matter, has the emperor already considered it? Will the military power be returned to the prince?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.

"Absolutely not, Your Majesty!" Mr. Wang was the first to look anxiously.

General Zhou sneered: "Oh? Why not? Lord Yiwang, do you mean to let the prince fight with his bare hands against the Xianle Kingdom and the South Vietnamese?"

"Weichen didn't mean that...Weichen just..." Mr. Wang couldn't explain the reason, and he was so anxious that cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"I believe it is impossible for the emperor to let his only younger brother take such a risk, right?" General Zhou vowed to help Li Junyi regain military power.

The prime minister knew that it was impossible for the emperor to hand over the military power. For the safety of his daughter, he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to hand over the military power to the prince. I only hope that the prince can bring my daughter back safely."

Li Junyi looked at the prime minister in surprise. The two had always been at odds. His behavior shocked everyone present.

The emperor was even more frightened, fearing that the two of them were already on the same side.

Li Kun also saw that the emperor was in trouble, so he stepped forward and said: "Father, I am willing to take over this matter, and I will definitely find the prime minister's daughter back as soon as possible."

Li Kun was already wary of other princes. If the prime minister's military power was given to Li Junyi, his rights in the court would be completely suppressed.

Seeing that this method worked, the emperor said: "The regent has just gotten married, how can he neglect the princess who has just passed away? The prince also needs experience, so let the prince be responsible for this matter! Resign from the court!"

Seeing that the emperor changed his mind, Li Junyi also breathed a sigh of relief.

When he returned to the palace, he heard about Su Junxi's entry into the palace.

He came to the room without stopping, and when he saw that she was safe and sound, the big stone in his heart dropped.

"The emperor has entrusted you with this matter?" Su Junxi poured him a cup of tea to warm his stomach.

Li Junyi shook his head: "The emperor gave it to the prince."
