Episode 33
The emperor appointed Cui Xingzhou as Minister of War, which was originally a good thing. However, Shi Yikuan was afraid of the military power in the hands of King Huaiyang. When he heard that Cui Xingzhou was getting married without the approval of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he went to the emperor to tell the truth. The emperor had no idea about Cui Xingzhou's wedding.He clenched his hands into fists in hatred.Cui Xingzhou was uneasy on the way to the capital. He knew that the marriage was in a hurry without any formalities, so he married the emperor's sweetheart. He didn't know what difficulties he would encounter at the meeting today.Liu Miantang saw that he looked nervous, so she held his hand to express comfort.In the palace, someone impeached Cui Xingzhou for procrastinating in coming to Beijing, and wanted to revoke his title of Minister of War. Cui Xingzhou admitted that he once did not care about his family affairs in order to protect his country, but now after going through many hardships some time ago, his mother was almost framed by a J.This time he returned triumphantly, and in order to fulfill his mother's wish, he got married hastily.
There was also Cui Xingzhou's teacher in the palace. He interceded for Cui Xingzhou, but the emperor had not made a decision for the time being.Liu Miantang entered the palace with Cui Xingzhou. The queen hosted a banquet for Liu Miantang, which was attended by many concubines. At the banquet, Liu Miantang also saw an old acquaintance, Sun Yuniang, who pushed her off the cliff by picking her hand muscles many years ago.Now that she had been made a concubine by the emperor and taken to the palace, Sun Yunniang was obviously surprised when she saw Liu Miantang.The palace servant next to the Queen was helping pour wine and accidentally spilled it on Liu Miantang's skirt. The palace servant knelt down to apologize and asked for help to get the clothes in exchange. Liu Miantang didn't care at that time, but the Queen carefully discovered that it was Liu Miantang.The palace servant who served Tang the wine was from the emperor's side, so he also suggested that Liu Miantang change his clothes.Liu Miantang had already made preparations on the way to the palace. She told Cui Xingzhou that even though he would encounter difficulties, he was facing a formidable enemy. If he opposed the emperor for this, he would fall into King Sui's plan.
Liu Miantang followed the palace servants to the back garden, and naturally met the emperor who had been waiting there for a long time. The emperor asked her if she was satisfied with her current life. If she felt unwilling, he would cancel her engagement with Cui Xingzhou.Liu Miantang replied calmly that if it were Ziqing back then, he would naturally bless and respect her choice.The emperor forced Liu Miantang to stay in the palace. At night, Cui Xingzhou did not see his wife. He was like an ant on a hot pot. He hurried back to the palace and was told by the palace people that he had gone back.The queen warned the emperor not to miss important events because of this. Now Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou have become a couple, flying together. If one is captured by force, the other will die.The queen was still smart as ice and snow, so the emperor released Liu Miantang that night and gave them a pair of jade cups, wishing them harmony and good fortune for a hundred years.Cui Xingzhou settled down with the emperor and was naturally ready to help eliminate the emperor's serious problem. Now that King Sui had become a turtle in the urn, he had no choice but to have no conclusive evidence and had to investigate the identity of Mr. Big%. Liu Miantang discussed with Cui Xingzhou and decidedI am staying in the Duke's Mansion temporarily so that I can investigate the true identity of this mysterious person.
