The lights of Weiyang Palace soon went out, but the Taiji Palace was still bright.
"Tomorrow morning, spread the news about what happened today, including the vendors by the lake saying that I was trying to win the lamp king for the empress when someone shouted that the emperor was assassinated and that later I took the empress to fetch the lamp."
"And many people have seen me enter the restaurant with the empress. The emperor and the empress have a very good relationship."
"And..." Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and said coldly, "Tell the people that my assassination tonight was actually a play directed and acted by someone. It's said that when I was assassinated, I was with the princess of the State of Youyue. It was a trick of the State of Youyue to force me marry the princess of the State of Youyue."
Liu Wenan raised his eyes slightly and said, "Your majesty, if this news is spread out, will the people of the State of Youyue..."
Luo Qingyan sneered, "Didn't they do the same? They thought that it would be difficult for me to find the source of the rumors and get any evidence even if I looked into it. "
"What's more, this is the truth. The rumor is not wrong. If they come to make trouble, I will tell them directly that what is done by night appears by day. "
Seeing that Liu Wenan wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and said, "Although we never kill envoys easily, I'm not easy to get along with. Since they have bullied me, I won't be afraid even if I kill them directly."
"Even if the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai want to fight with us, they are far from us. Whether it's military deployment or news transmission, they are much inferior to us on the continent. I don't believe that they dare to attack us rashly. Besides, even if they do, I'm not afraid at all. "
Liu Wenan remained silent. He could tell that the emperor was really angry.
'That's right. If those people were only scheming against his majesty, it would be fine. The key point was that this trick made her majesty unhappy.
This was more serious than scheming against him in his majesty's eyes. It was a capital crime and no one could help.
It's hot these days, and her majesty doesn't have any appetite. I can ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some food for her majesty to relieve the heat.
When His Former Majesty was still in office, the imperial kitchen once brought some bananas and cherries that had been frozen into ice in the ice cellar. The taste was unexpectedly good, and I could ask them to make some for her majesty to taste.
Well, I have to ask the people in the imperial kitchen to mention in front of her majesty that it is me who bring up this idea.
In this way, if I offend the emperor someday, her majesty might help me out.
While Liu Wenan was thinking, he heard Luo Qingyan tell the secret guards, "Go and search for some people in the State of Xia who look similar to me."
Liu Wenan suddenly raised his head. Since ancient times, the emperors had always been powerful and ordinary people couldn't offend them.
Ordinary people even can't have a similar name to the emperors'.
Otherwise, if some narrow-minded emperor would use this excuse to punish him for disrespect.
"Your majesty, why did look for those who look similar to you?"
Luo Qingyan glanced at Liu Wenan indifferently and explained, "The stall owner said that the man looked like me. And someone called his majesty was assassinated, so the people thought I was assassinated."
Liu Wenan was stunned and guessed something.
"In that case, I'll find someone who looks similar to me. Tell them that he was the one who accompanied the princess of the State of Youyue to go shopping at that time. It's just that the people saw him look like me, so they mistook him for me."
