I thought it was just a normal thing, but unexpectedly, Li Qingzhao's frequent visits to the palace made Emperor Zhezong discover some clues.
Thinking of the sudden improvement of Princess Zhu's incurable disease, Emperor Zhezong curiously asked his biological mother whether the matter was related to Li Qingzhao.
Princess Zhu didn't dare to tell the emperor about this at first, but she couldn't bear the fact that the other party kept asking and cited her own medical history. Princess Zhu still told the emperor the truth.
However, it was a serious crime for a man to enter the palace without permission, especially the harem. Naturally, she did not dare to disclose the existence of Murong Fu. She only said that it was Li Qingzhao's childhood master who gave him advice and she cured her illness.
Emperor Zhezong was already weak and unable to nourish his body, and his health was deteriorating. After learning that these medicinal foods could nourish his body, he tried a few of them and drank them for a while.
The result was as expected. His health gradually improved. Thinking of this, he was no longer satisfied with the slow progress of the medicinal diet, and then turned his mind to Li Qingzhao.
After several deliberately created opportunities to get in touch, Emperor Zhezong discovered that Li Qingzhao did understand medical science. In addition, he was a lustful person and was amazed by his literary talents, so he had the idea of taking a concubine.
From this connection, the news quickly spread throughout Bianliang and Tokyo, and the Li family was in panic all day long, especially Li Gefei. He always knew that his daughter liked Murong Fu, so how could he willingly marry the emperor as his concubine? ❉
But when he thought of the Jianghu people's recklessness, the only thing Li Gefei could do, with his daughter on one side and his benefactor on the other, was to tell Li Qingzhao not to tell Murong Fu about the matter rashly, otherwise the Jianghu people's lawless character , is likely to suffer disaster.
After all, for people under the feudal rule of the dynasty, the emperor is the sky. If you anger the sky, you will have nowhere to hide even if you flee to the ends of the earth.
So when faced with such a behemoth weighing on their heads, the Li family's father and daughter could only choose to endure it silently.
Although Bao BuTong was a retainer of the Murong family, in the face of reason, no one would fight with the emperor over a woman, so he chose to conceal it after knowing about it early on.
The reason why Murong Fu was so angry was not only because Emperor Zhezong had evil thoughts about Li Qingzhao, but also because Bao Bubutong dared to make decisions for him without permission.
Doesn't he know what he should do and what he shouldn't do?
If the people under him use their own thoughts to figure out him and make decisions for him in everything, then does he still have the meaning of existence? Isn't it just like a puppet?
He Murong Fu only needs loyal people and does not need those subordinates who think they are smart, and this is also a big taboo between monarchs and ministers!
Of course, Murong Fu also knew that Bao BuTong had good intentions, but if he did bad things with good intentions, he was not worthy of praise or criticism.
In fact, it is difficult to deal with this matter, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult. Even if Murong Fu has the soul-moving technique that can control some people's thoughts, this kind of mental control similar to hypnosis is not permanent. Perhaps because of watching When you encounter something or receive a certain stimulus, you may break out of your control.
Fortunately, Emperor Zhezong was already a dying man. He was mentally exhausted and easier to control than ordinary people. Therefore, Murong Fu used the soul-transferring method on him without fear that he would break through his mental control, at least for half a year. I can still get through it.
In addition, the instructions he issued were not decisions that affected major events. They were just subtle changes in his thinking. It could be said to be almost foolproof.
Even if something unexpected happened, he would just let Huizong succeed to the throne earlier, and the impact would not be big.
When Murong Fu taught the Nine Yin Scriptures to the four great ministers, he deliberately did not include the soul-transferring technique, so Bao Bubu and the others did not know that the Nine Yin Scriptures had such a strange hypnotic technique.
Murong Fu returned to Li Mansion and lay down on the bed to sleep as if nothing had happened. Li Qingzhao was too tired to notice it.
Early the next morning, inside the palace.
Emperor Zhezong sat up exhausted physically and mentally. He felt that he had had a very long dream, but the memory in the dream was very blurry.
It was not until the chamberlain outside the door reminded that "the official family is going to attend the morning court" that Emperor Zhezong reluctantly stood up under the waiters of the palace maids and eunuchs.
At the court, Cai Jing intended to arrange Li Qingzhao as a confidant to the emperor, so he reported the matter to Emperor Zhezong as soon as he went to court.
But Emperor Zhezong seemed to have lost his memory and cursed Cai Jing.
Seeing that this official was quite angry today, all the civil and military officials above the court also fell silent. No one dared to speak for Cai Jing.
What they didn't know was that after Emperor Zhezong's memory was tampered with by Murong Fu, they only knew that his body was hollowed out by women's lust and that he was already in a state of excessive Yin deficiency.
It happened that at this time, Cai Jing suggested that he take a concubine. This undoubtedly hurt Emperor Zhezong, and even being scolded was considered a light thing.
A court meeting also came to an end with Emperor Zhezong's insult to Cai Jing.
As the news spread, Li Gefei immediately ran back to his house to look for his daughter.
When he arrived at his daughter's hospital, Li Gefei saw Li Qingzhao chatting and laughing intimately with a man.
"Mr. Murong? Why didn't you inform me that you came to Tokyo?"
Li Gefei recognized Murong Fu, whom he had not seen for many years, and suddenly became enthusiastic.
"Mr. Li, this junior came here uninvited, I'm sorry for disturbing you!"
Murong Fu stood up and bowed.
After all, he is the future father-in-law, and the other party is also a scholar, so the etiquette should be indispensable.
Li Qingzhao heard Murong Fu's words from the side, and his face turned slightly red. He thought to himself, you often come uninvited, always behind my father's back, how rude!
Li Gefei thought that Murong Fu had just visited the underworld today and quickly invited him to sit in the front hall.
in the hall.
Li Gefei, who originally didn't know how to face Murong Fu, now learned that the official family had no intention of accepting Li Qingzhao as his concubine and that everything was just a rumor, so he generously told the good news to the two of them.
He thought that Murong Fu came to Kyoto only after knowing about this matter, so he didn't want to hide it from him.
Murong Fu said with a smile: "It's true that rumors are harmful, but I still plan to take Qingzhao away and fly away!"
Li Qingzhao was naturally bold when he was with Murong Fu in private, but now in front of his father, his cheeks turned red with embarrassment when he revealed their affection.
Li Gefei was stunned when he heard this, then looked back and forth between the two of them, laughed loudly and said: "It's already a panic to make such a mistake, Mr. Murong, if you really have feelings for my little girl, you two You are not young anymore, it’s time to get married!”
Murong Fu stood up and bowed his head and said: "Mr. Li, this junior is here just for this matter. I hope you can betroth Qingzhao to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people strode in from outside the gate carrying betrothal gifts wrapped in red cloth.
