"Your Majesty, the commander of the Imperial Army is outside the palace seeking an audience!”
A young eunuch called out respectfully from outside Lu Qingge's bedroom.
"Let him in."
Lu Qingge had a calm expression on her face. She had expected this.
A moment later.
He saw a middle-aged man in armor rushing over.
It was the commander of the Imperial Army, Wan Lianshan!
"Commander Wan, weren't you training in the barracks?”
"Why did you come to the palace at night? Leaving your post without permission is not a small matter.”
Lu Qingge's expression was calm, but there was an extremely dignified and domineering aura about him.
His slender body was like a sharp sword that pierced through the heavens!
Seeing this, Wan Lianshan's expression froze and he was shocked.
He felt that this new Emperor seemed to have become different from before!
When Lu Qingge was still a prince, he did not have such a dignified bearing!
He had always been very polite to the commander of the Imperial Army.
This made Wan Lianshan somewhat 'look down' on the First Prince.
Compared to the Second Prince, King Chu, he was far inferior.
"Your Majesty, I do have a request!”
Wan Lianshan fell to his knees with a thud. He thought Lu Qingge didn't know that his son had been captured.
"What is it? Tell me."
Lu Qingge pretended not to know.
"It's about my son, Wan Jinming. He was arrested at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion."
Wan Lianshan told him about the suicide of the girl from Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
Then, he tried his best to explain.
"Your Majesty, although my son is playful sometimes, he would never do such a heartless thing!”
"This general is willing to guarantee with my head!"
Wan Lianshan promised.
He knew his son very well.
It was understandable that he would occasionally sneak out to drink with his friends.
However, he would never do anything that would harm the heavens!
"Oh? There's actually such a thing?"
Lu Qingge pretended to be surprised.
"Since it has already been handed over to the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Commander Wan can rest assured.”
"The Embroidered Uniform Guards carry out this one's will and are absolutely fair and strict!”
"I won't let any bad person off, nor will I malign any good person!”
"As long as your son is proven innocent, he will naturally be released.”
Lu Qingge acted like a righteous and wise ruler.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I'm extremely grateful!"
Wan Lianshan looked excited.
"Alright, why are you still kneeling there?”
Lu Qingge's tone became even harsher.
"Zhen did not punish you for leaving your post because you were eager to protect your son.”
"Hurry up and return to the barracks!"
"But Your Majesty…" Wan Lianshan hesitated.
His only son's life and death were unknown.
How could he dare to leave?
"What, you still don't believe me?”
"Zhen's words hold great weight. I said that I would let the Embroidered Uniform Guards investigate thoroughly, so there would not be any unjust cases!”
Lu Qingge's tone was solemn and dignified.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"This general will return to the barracks now!"
Wan Lianshan did not dare to continue pestering him. He thanked him again and left respectfully.
Watching him leave, a meaningful smile gradually appeared on Lu Qingge's face.
"Hmph, don't you think things are too simple by letting your son return safely?”
"Why would you feel grateful to me?”
Without a doubt, Lu Qingge, who was familiar with the plot of the original novel, had already planned everything!
He had long known that Wan Lianshan's son would be framed and sent to prison.
And he was beaten up!
Wan Lianshan had no choice but to ask the Empress Dowager for help, but he was tightly controlled by the latter.
But now, Lu Qingge had suddenly come to stop her and ruined the Empress Dowager's scheme!
Wan Lianshan's son was indeed arrested and tortured.
However, the Brocade Guards also arrived in time and forcefully took him away with the imperial order.
"Your Majesty, it seems you wish to subdue this Imperial Army commander.”
The Vermilion Bird strode over with her long legs, and a puzzled expression appeared on her pretty face.
"But why didn't Your Majesty force him to surrender and hand over his military power just now?”
"I can see that he values his son very much.”
Lu Qingge glanced at the Vermilion Bird and smiled mysteriously."
"This person is not so easy to subdue.”
"Forcing him now will only backfire!”
"Even if we temporarily subdue his people, it's impossible for him to be convinced!”
In the original plot, the Empress Dowager was impatient.
The result was the opposite!
Even though he had temporarily obtained the military power of the Imperial Army, he had ultimately forced the entire Wanlian Mountain to side with the Second Prince!
In the end, he even became the person who risked his life for the hot shots!
Naturally, Lu Qingge couldn't be too hasty.
He would slowly 'reform' this person based on his personality!
To put it bluntly, it was brainwashing…
This was why Lu Qingge was more brilliant than the Empress Dowager!
"Your Majesty actually has the ability to read minds?”
"You're actually so good at identifying people?"
The Vermilion Bird's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light when she saw Lu Qingge's confident expression.
……
On the other side.
In Yongning Palace.
When the Empress Dowager heard the news, she was very surprised.
"What the hell is Qing Ge doing?”
"He's getting bolder and bolder!”
The empress dowager's expression turned cold.
This time, there would be complications, and the plan would likely fail on the verge of success.
She had been waiting for Wan Lianshan to call for help, but everything was ready.
He didn't expect someone to come out of nowhere!
"Empress Dowager, please calm down."
"There are still many opportunities to deal with the Wanlian Mountain.”
"Even this lowly subject cannot understand Your Majesty's actions."
At the same time that Zhao Wujin consoled him, he revealed a puzzled expression.
"The only explanation is that His Majesty wants to win the favor of the other party by saving the son of the Myriad Mountain!”
"Or they have the same idea as us and force Wan Lianshan to surrender!”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.""In that case, Qing Ge was lucky this time?”
She did not expect that Lu Qingge would be the one to benefit from the trap that she had carefully designed, even though the prey had already jumped into it!
However, after thinking about it carefully, she did not feel angry.
Lu Qingge was her woman after all. It would be a good thing if she could control Wan Lianshan!
