"Dry ...... Why? Luo Liyao struggled slightly, glaring at him.

But no matter how hard she can't break free, she can only obediently let him hold his wrist.

Luo Xizheng also looked back at her seriously, and said word by word: "Stop it, you don't meddle in this matter anymore." ”

"After you canonized Zhan Ying, I didn't care about it anymore, right?" Luo Liyao paused and snorted.

When Luo Xizheng heard this, his face was full of helplessness: "Yao'er, you know that I am not talking about Zhan Ying. He looked at her and pretended to be "none of my business", and added, "Besides, she's just a stand-in pawn I found." ”

"That'...... Who is she? ”

"It's a useful pawn, and I have to keep her." Luo Xizheng looked at her seriously, his eyes were relatively frank, "That thing is very dangerous, don't get involved, I ......"

"Have you found out something?" Luo Liyao interrupted his next words simply and clearly, and her eyes were so bright that she almost saw the bottom of his heart, "But you're not going to tell me?" ”

Luo Xizheng was silent.

Did she do something wrong? Luo Liyao's first reaction was like this, but she denied it again.

Except for the chess piece she almost sent "Zhan Ying" out of the palace and lost his pawn, there was nothing else - besides, didn't he also save people? Or in that high-profile way.

So yesterday's announcement of "Zhan Ying" to bed is probably to let this chess piece play its due role...... This woman who was a stand-in was even used to sleep in the bed, which was quite pitiful.

Thinking of this, Luo Liyao felt inexplicably a little irritable.

Regardless of whether this Zhan envoy of Qihe Hall is the real Zhan Ying or not, she has indeed sowed discord between Ning Wan and Shen Yunyun, and she does have a heart that wants to invite favor and then fly to the branches.

Leaving such a person in the palace, there will be more and more things, and it is impossible for Luo Xizheng not to understand, but he still kept her and gave her what she wanted.

Then this "Zhan Ying" should be a very important role, and the most likely thing is that she can help Luo Xizheng connect with someone in Shangning Mansion or Yide Hall - for example, she may be the housekeeper of Ning Mansion or the palace maid in charge of Yide Palace, Yingjin or Yingting, a very important relative.

Only in this way should this "Zhan Ying" have the qualifications to let Luo Xizheng personally keep her.

No matter how Luo Liyao's mind turned back and forth, Luo Xizheng kept staring at her, knowing that she was as smart as she might have figured out most of them, and she would not easily follow her advice and give up.

"That guard of yours went to Gongzi and brought back any useful information?" Luo Xizheng got up and sat on the bed, but he didn't have the strength to hold her wrist at all

Just relax.

"You don't tell me anything, but you still want to get information from me." Luo Liyao pursed her lips, "How can there be such a good thing in the world?" ”

Luo Xizheng: "......"

Luo Liyao leaned back, with a posture of "I'm just looking at you like this".

"I can't let Cheng Juan know about this." It was still Luo Xizheng who was the first to lose, and said helplessly, "The queen mother is already three months pregnant. ”

"Three or three months?" Luo Liyao almost bit her tongue in surprise, and quickly took a deep breath, "Brother Zheng, what are you talking about...... You're not kidding me, are you? ”

Luo Xizheng didn't say anything more, and then Luo Liyao clearly heard his sigh.

Yes, with his kind of character, he would never joke about such a big thing - when the Empress Dowager had an affair with someone and secretly had a bead fetus, and within two months of the first emperor's death, the empress dowager not only favored Zhao Tianyuan, who crowned the sixth palace before the first emperor's death, but also ...... Luo Xizheng's biological mother.

Since he had told himself so bluntly, he must have repeatedly confirmed the truth of the matter—it was true, it was true.

Regardless of the age or status of the parties, if a woman treats a man other than her husband without formal remarriage, this is absolutely not permissible by the law of etiquette.

This is called "fornication".

No matter where such a thing happens, it will be spurned and disgraced by everyone...... I don't care if they have anything else to hide.

But this happened in the palace and appeared in the body of the queen mother...... Family ugliness cannot be publicized, this can be regarded as "national ugliness". If this matter is publicized by people with ulterior motives, how will the people of Tianqi view the royal family? What will people in other countries think of Tianqi?

The people of the Tianqi Imperial Family have lost their hearts, and there are strong enemies around them, and this chain reaction is one after another...... Either way, they can't afford it.

Luo Xizheng has only succeeded to the throne for a few months, and the foundation has not been completely stabilized, so there must be no mistakes - Tianqi's country cannot make such mistakes.

Luo Liyao thought about it for a while and didn't dare to think about it anymore, but held his hand and comforted: "It's okay, go back to the past." ”

"Hmm." Luo Xizheng scratched her palm and smiled at her as usual, "I'm done, it's your turn - what useful things can be investigated by Gongzi?" ”

"The Ning and Zhao families are both well-known and wealthy local merchants, and they have many business dealings, and they did have a marriage contract - they even invited an important minister of Gongzi at that time to testify." Luo Liyao glanced at him, "

But Miss Zhao finally married the proton sent to Gongzi by the Tianqi royal family...... There are quite a few people in the local area who have memories of this paragraph, and they all say that it was made by the young master of the Ning family. ”

Luo Xizheng frowned: "......"

"He is a matchmaker, and he has been supporting this proton since then, going in and out with him, and it can be seen that he has a good relationship." Luo Liyao patted his hand to appease, "The relationship between the Ning and Zhao families has not been affected in any way, and they have even joined forces, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, just like ...... The marriage contract has been fulfilled as well. ”

Luo Xizheng's heart jumped, and he had some bad premonitions, but he still remained silent, waiting for her to finish.

"Later, we knew that the Empress Dowager recalled her father and then married my mother, who was Princess Shenchu at that time. And the Gongzi royal family returned in vain, so they had to suppress the Ning and Zhao families - until their father succeeded to the throne, Ning Zhong took you to Tianqi. Luo Liyao lowered her eyes, "According to the locals, the Gongzi royal family's suppression of the Ning and Zhao families can be described as crazy, and your life at that time was ...... It's probably very sad. ”

Luo Xizheng: "......"

"Moreover, the Gongzi royal family forbade the Ning and Zhao families and even people related to them from entering and leaving the border." Luo Liyao paused before putting forward his thoughts, "But Ning Zhong learned about the matter in Tianqi in a 'timely manner', and then brought you to Tianqi ......"

She didn't finish speaking, but Luo Xizheng understood what she meant.

The Ning family and the Zhao family are just merchant families, and in the face of the relentless suppression of the Gongzi royal family, how could Ning Zhong know that Luo Zhuang Xi had succeeded to the throne in Tianqi? How could he still take him and Zhao Tianyuan all the way to Tianqi safely?

There is only one answer - behind this, there have always been people who have been helping him.

And this person is certainly not simple, and the power should definitely not be underestimated.

At least, he can know what is happening in Tianqi in time, and he can also extend his power to Gongzi, and it is even possible that there is a foundation in the Weiyan between Tianqi and Gongzi.

The only way for Gongzi to go to Tianqi is Weiyan, and the Gongzi royal family has always known about the existence of Zhao Tianyuan and Luo Xizheng, and has never given up arresting them. If they left Gongzi, how could the Gongzi royal family be ignorant? Gongzi and Weiyan have a good relationship, if the Gongzi royal family asks Weiyan for help, Weiyan will definitely be willing to send Gongzi such a personal favor...... After all, if they couldn't reach Tianqi, Luo Zhuangxi would definitely not know about it, and their life and death would not cause too many waves.

It is only a piece of cake to be able to pass the news of Luo Zhuang Xi's succession to them, and it can send them to Tianqi safely under the joint prevention of Gongzi and Weiyan...... It's the real scary.

"I don't know who the person behind it is, how the power came from, or where it came from." Lowe

Li Yao shook her head and looked at him, "I can only be sure that there must be such a person behind Ning Zhongji, or ...... An organization. ”

"So it's still easy to move Ning Zhongji." Luo Xizheng pounded the bed angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you know it's him...... It's him—"

"The father of the child in Empress Dowager Zhao's womb is Ning Zhongji." Luo Liyao suddenly said this.

It's not hard to guess. As a child, only a few months after the death of the father, and the mother has already conceived someone else's child before remarrying, the first thought is naturally - get rid of the man.

Luo Xizheng didn't answer, but Luo Liyao accurately caught the few flashes of killing intent in his eyes.

Although he restrained himself well, the killing intent was excessively strong.

It is also said that Ning Zhong and Luo Xizheng were political enemies, and now they have added this ...... If you don't cut him with a thousand knives, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in Luo Xizheng's heart.

But now I can't move Ning Zhong, that is, this person.

Even if there was no unknown force behind Ning Zhongji, his foundation in the Tianqi Dynasty for so many years could not be uprooted in a short period of time, not to mention that now, he also had a child with Empress Dowager Zhao.

All these variables are in this child.

In a sense, the child in Zhao Qianyuan's womb, who is only three months old, is more important than the child in Chu Ying's womb, which is about to be born.

What kind of mind did Ning Zhong have in mind to combine with Zhao Tianyuan? Does he know that this child exists? If he knows, what is his attitude towards this child and Zhao Tianyuan? What will he do?

In any case, this child is the root of all the problems-

Luo Liyao pulled Luo Xizheng's sleeve and said word by word: "This kid...... Can't stay. ”

Without this child, everyone can really get back on track, which is the most direct and beneficial way to the situation.

Luo Xizheng seemed very surprised when he heard her say this: "Yao'er—"

"The overall situation is important, and I can't afford to think about 'the child is innocent'." Luo Liyao paused and said firmly, "Nothing is more important than Tianqi's stability. ”
