Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

Wei Yuan's mind raced, and a series of connections emerged and linked together in his mind.

Consort Chen is plotting against the Empress?

Wei Yuan didn't even need to think about the purpose and motive.

With the empress's position secure, the crown prince's position becomes precarious.

Since Emperor Yuanjing began practicing Taoism, his black hair has grown back, and it seems he still has many years to live.

Given such a long period of time, it's hard to guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

The fourth prince was born to the empress and was the legitimate son!

If they could force Emperor Yuanjing to depose the empress, then the fourth prince would no longer be the legitimate son and would be completely ineligible for the throne.

Consort Chen and the Crown Prince's positions were now as secure as a rock!

The only question is how Consort Chen should deal with the Empress.

"remind."

Su Nan spoke softly.

"A few years ago, the emperor's brother-in-law favored a maid in the empress's palace. The maid became pregnant. When the empress found out, she did not kill the maid."

"Emperor Yuanjing has been practicing Taoism for many years, and most of the concubines in the palace are very...lonely."

"It is highly likely that Consort Chen will start with the Crown Prince, devising a self-inflicted injury scheme, layer upon layer of plans, and secretly leaving clues to subtly point to the Empress."

"..."

Wei Yuan is a smart man; Su Nan doesn't need to explain things too clearly.

After a moment's thought, Wei Yuan already had a general idea in mind.

"Thank you."

"I accept this favor."

Wei Yuan let out a soft breath.

This gratitude was quite sincere.

For Wei Yuan, the Empress was the most precious person in the entire world.

Su Nan's guidance helped the Empress escape a disaster.

Wei Yuan was genuinely grateful to him.

As for how Su Nan knew all this, Wei Yuan didn't want to ask!

Perhaps this child 852 is truly an immortal 104278, omniscient.

Or perhaps he used the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution) as a base to weave a huge intelligence network.

But he can ignore these things for now.

"Lord Wei has helped me several times, and I must express my gratitude!" Su Nan grinned.

"If Lord Wei really feels bad about it, you can have a drink or two with me."

Wei Yuan glanced at the wine gourd in Su Nan's hand and shook his head.

"The rules for night watchmen are that they are not allowed to drink alcohol while on duty."

Upon hearing this, Su Nan immediately lost interest.

"gone."

Su Nan got up and immediately left Haoqi Tower.

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment, then said to Nangong Qianrou beside him, "Xiaorou, go and invite the Imperial Uncle."

The emperor's brother-in-law is the current empress's younger brother.

"Yes!"

Not long after, Nangong Qianrou invited this arrogant imperial brother-in-law to the night watchman's office.

The emperor's brother-in-law was furious. After entering the Haoqi Tower, he shouted, "Wei Yuan, what do you want to do to me?!"

"You killed my father, and now you want to harm me?!"

"You heartless bastard, you deserve to be childless and have no descendants!"

"..."

Wei Yuan remained unmoved by the insults from the emperor's brother-in-law, but Nangong Qianrou was already furious!

This guy is asking for it!

"Do you remember having an affair with a maid in the Empress's palace a few years ago?" Wei Yuan asked casually.

The once arrogant imperial brother-in-law immediately deflated.

He remained silent for a long time before muttering, "Now that it's all in the past, why bring it up again?"

Wei Yuan stared at him and said calmly, "Tell me the whole story."

Of course, the emperor's brother-in-law was unwilling to recount this past event!

But he was completely unable to withstand Nangong Qianrou's methods.

Nangong Qianrou had only used a few tricks when the Imperial Uncle revealed everything.

After listening, Wei Yuan sighed.

"Prepare the sedan chair, I am going to the palace."

"Take this piece of trash with you."

……

Although Wei Yuan wielded immense power, he was not, after all, the emperor.

It's impossible to go wherever you want or sleep wherever you want.

Especially the imperial harem.

Moreover, given Wei Yuan and the Empress's past, it would be even more difficult for him to enter the palace than for ordinary people.

In recent years, to avoid suspicion, Wei Yuan has basically avoided going to the inner palace.

To enter the inner palace to see the Empress, Emperor Yuanjing would certainly need to be notified.

Emperor Yuanjing, who was practicing Taoism, received a message from Daban.

"His Majesty!"

"Wei Yuan requests an audience with the Empress!"

Emperor Yuanjing opened his eyes, his gaze quite displeased.

"What's the matter?"

Ōtomo said softly, "It's because of the matter concerning the Imperial Brother-in-law."

"The emperor's brother-in-law did something and ended up in Wei Yuan's hands. As a result, he kept shouting that he wanted to drag Wei Yuan to Fengqi Palace to see the empress and beg the empress to uphold justice."

Emperor Yuanjing finally smiled.

"So it turns out the emperor's brother-in-law is going to see the empress."

"That's right."

Emperor Yuanjing knew better than anyone else about the Shangguan family's past.

Since it's all in the past, he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Anyway, given the temperament of that idiot, the Imperial Uncle, he would definitely curse Wei Yuan every time he saw him.

After receiving permission, Wei Yuan took the emperor's brother-in-law to Fengqi Palace.

The Empress was overjoyed to learn of Wei Yuan's arrival and hurriedly tidied herself up.

"You've finally decided to come see me?"

The Empress forced herself to remain calm as she looked at the refined middle-aged man before her.

Compared to back then, my temples are now frosted white.

These past few years have probably not been easy for him either.

Wei Yuan's expression was solemn, but he had no interest in reminiscing with the Empress.

"Did the Empress save a palace maid named Huang Xiaorou a few years ago?"

The Empress glanced at the Imperial Brother-in-law, who sat to the side not daring to speak, and said, "It's been several years, I've forgotten some things."

Wei Yuan waved his hand, signaling Nangong Qianrou to lead the Imperial Brother-in-law outside.

"Huang Xiaorou mistook the emperor's brother-in-law for His Majesty. After the two had an affair, Huang Xiaorou became pregnant, but you aborted her pregnancy, and she has held a grudge ever since."

"You didn't kill Huang Xiaorou, but she's turning around and going after you!"

"If it hadn't been discovered in time, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been long before either you were deposed as empress or the emperor's brother-in-law was beheaded, one of the two."

The Empress's face turned somewhat pale.

She knew that Wei Yuan never tried to scare people.

"really?"

Wei Yuan nodded slightly, lowered his head, and said, "Huang Xiaorou is currently working in Consort Fu's palace. I will handle this matter."

"You don't need to worry about it."

Throughout their conversation, Wei Yuan never looked directly into the Empress's eyes.

It's not that I'm afraid.

Rather, he simply didn't know... how to face his former love!

Since their current statuses are different, it's best for her not to have any contact with them!

"The matter has been explained; the Empress will now deal with the Imperial Uncle."

"I'll take my leave now."
