After Qi Guangtan'er returned to the Wan Dynasty with his soldiers and horses, the people of the Wan Dynasty celebrated in the city that they could return victoriously.

Qi Guang entered the palace, and Lu Lan and the ministers were waiting in the palace.

Before that, Qi Guang sent someone to reply to the letter, informing them of the situation of the war and the news of their return, but he had not yet said the situation of Yan Qinghan and Lu Yan.

"The lower officials see the Queen Mother." Qi Guang bowed and saluted.

"Pingshen, I heard that the war was a great victory, why did I only see you, the emperor and General Lu?" Lu Yan asked in a deep voice on the high platform.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, although the Turks have been suppressed, General Lu Yan attempted to coerce and murder the emperor during the march, and he was killed on the spot, but the emperor's life and death are now uncertain, and his whereabouts are unknown." As soon as Qi Guang's words came out, all the ministers were stunned.

When Lu Yan heard Qi Guang's words, he also made an expression of disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... That's right..... It's true? Qi Guang raised his eyes to look at her, sarcastic in his heart, who didn't know what she was thinking, why bother acting here now.

"There is no half-truth, the mother and the emperor disappeared together and the talisman in Lu Yan's hand." Although the talisman is now in Qi Guang's hands, if Lu Yan knows, he is afraid that he will not be able to keep this half of the talisman with his ability, so he has a plan, it is better to say that the talisman disappeared with the emperor.

Sure enough, when Empress Lu heard the news that the soldier was also missing, her expression became a little nervous.

"What does Qi Aiqing mean is that the talisman was taken away by the emperor and is no longer on Lu Yan?"

"Yes, the Queen Mother, Lu Yan's corpse has also been brought back to the Wan Dynasty, and the Queen Mother can personally examine it." Qi Guang said lightly.

Lu Lan never thought that his move turned out to be a loss to his wife and a soldier, and now he has lost his military power, and he has undoubtedly lost most of his rights, and there are not a few people in this palace who are ready to move, and someone will definitely take advantage of this.

Rather than waiting for them to do something, it is better for her to strike first, although her plan did not succeed, but by mistake this is the best time for her to take control of the government, and she will naturally not let it go.

"If you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die, since Qi Aiqing did not bring back the emperor's bones, it means that the emperor may still be alive, as Aiqing said, ten thousand dynasties cannot be left without an owner for a day, so before finding the whereabouts of the emperor, all political affairs will be handled by the mourning family on behalf of the emperor."

As soon as Lu Lan spoke, all the ministers in the audience looked left and right, even if they felt that something was wrong in their hearts, no one dared to refute it.

"Does anyone have any objections?" Lu Lan then asked in a loud voice.

The ministers shook their heads one after another and remained silent.

But there are always those who don't want to die, such as King Gaoping.

"I don't think it's appropriate!"

Hearing King Gao Ping's voice, Lu Lan's face suddenly turned cold, then he looked at him and said coldly: "Oh? What is the objection of King Gaoping? Do you think that the mourning family will be kind to the women and can't handle political affairs well, or do you think that now that the emperor is not there, this position should be done by you, Gaoping Wang Fangzhi? ”

"The minister is frightened, but the minister feels that since the emperor's life and death are uncertain, he should first find the emperor's whereabouts, instead of being so anxious to be the ruler of the government!"

King Gaoping's intention was nothing more than an allusion to Lu Lan's disregard for Yan Qinghan's safety, and he had already coveted the imperial power, and he withdrew with his whole body.

"Is King Gaoping a bad ear, the mourning family just said that before finding the whereabouts of the emperor, he will be the agent for the time being, when did he say that he would not find the emperor?"

"Don't be angry, the minister is just reminding the mother."

"Hmph, King Gaoping should still worry more about himself now, be careful of any disaster that comes out of his mouth!"

"Thank you for the reminder." Reading the Book House

Who doesn't know here, King Gaoping has never been of the same heart with the Queen Mother, but they don't know where he got the courage to openly oppose Lu Lan like this, Lu Lan doesn't want to deal with him, it's just that he hasn't found a suitable opportunity yet, and now he is so out of the way in front of everyone, which undoubtedly makes Lu Lan even more tolerant of him.

Lu Lan no longer paid attention to King Gaoping, and turned to look at Qi Guang, "Qi Aiqing, although you have merit this time, you have not protected the emperor Zhou Quan, so you have also had it, and the merits and demerits are comparable, you should rest in the mansion first, and you don't need to go to the barracks again." ”

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Qi Guang is not surprised, he is Yan Qinghan's confidant, how could Lu Lan not be wary of him, now his own words, I am afraid that she will not believe all of them, and now he can only obey, not arousing Lu Lan's suspicion, is the only thing he can do for Yan Qinghan.

"The protector general Lu Yan plotted to kill the emperor, and his crime should be punished, since Qi Aiqing has beheaded him, then the men of the Lu Yan clan are confiscated into the army, and the women are slaves, and the old people and children will be driven out of the palace and demoted to civilians."

Lu Lan did this, perfectly blocked the mouths of the people, everyone knew that Lu Yan had always been attached to Lu Lan, and now he dared to murder the emperor, naturally he was inseparable from Lu Lan, Lu Lan killed his relatives in righteousness, undoubtedly he kept himself out of the matter, even if everyone was suspicious, but they couldn't catch the handle.

"If you are tired, let's all retreat."

Lu Lan said that, and made a sad and sad look, and when everyone dispersed, she left the Chongzheng Palace and returned to the Shoukang Palace.

And when Qi Guang left the palace and returned to the Qi Mansion, he saw Tan'er greeted him with a worried face.

"No, but she gave me an order to rest in the mansion and not to go back to the barracks."

"She is clearly dismissing your job and stripping you of your power!"

"I expected it a long time ago, now that the emperor's life and death are uncertain and his whereabouts are unknown, she will definitely take advantage of it

"I'm afraid that Empress Lu didn't think about letting the emperor return."

"Well, she has now dealt with the Lu Yan family, which shows her ruthlessness, although she is telling everyone that she will go to find the emperor's whereabouts, but the people she really sent may not be able to bring the emperor back."

"So what do we do now?" The two of them unified their thoughts, and Tan'er asked again.

"Wait for the opportunity, we have just returned to the Wan Dynasty, and Empress Lu will definitely send someone to keep an eye on us, so don't act rashly."

Tan'er nodded, and the two walked towards the house.

Shoukang Palace.

Lu Lan sat on the beauty couch and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Rong Wan approached Lu Lan, and Lu Lan said quietly: "How is it, how are things ordered?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, it has been arranged." Rong Wan returned.

"Okay, since I couldn't get rid of him in Dongchuan, I can't let him come back this time anyway." Lu Lan's tone revealed ruthlessness.

"Qi Guang has also sent someone to the mourning family to take a good look, I don't know the truth of what he said about the talisman, if he has any changes, he will report it immediately."

"Yes, mother, don't worry."

"The mourning family wants to, but when did you not disappoint the mourning family!" Lu Lan reprimanded.

When Rong Wan still wanted to argue, Lu Lan said again: "Okay, step down, the mourning family wants to rest." ”

Rong Wan could only walk out of the dormitory in a huff, and Lu Lan lay on the beauty couch and fell asleep unconsciously.
