In her previous life, Huo Wei had acted in the entertainment industry several times, but she had never seen the real emperor and empress. Now she was going to see him so suddenly. She felt a little nervous. She sat upright in the carriage and opened the curtain to look at Lou Ye.
Lou Ye rode to her side and comforted her, “The emperor and empress are very kind people. They will definitely like you, so you don’t have to be afraid. You just need to go around the palace.”
“What! It sounds like we are going to have fun. “Her nervousness was gone.
Although she wanted to see the most powerful person in the world, she was not unfamiliar with the world and soon relaxed. Instead, she became more curious and wanted to see what the imperial palace here was like.
In the past, Mrs.Chen didn’t like Lu Qiaoshan. Every year, when she went to the imperial palace to attend a banquet, she even found an excuse to keep Lu Qiaoshan at home. There was really nothing related to the Imperial Palace in Huo Wei’s memory.
“I don’t know what the emperor and empress look like, dignified or eye-catching. After all, this was the world in the book. The parents of the main character should be noble and dignified, but also eye-catching and loving?”
Huo Wei was amused by her own imagination. Lou Ye didn’t understand why she was so nervous just now, but now she laughed again. But as long as Huo Wei was happy, he would be happy.
He shook his head and smiled, “If you feel uncomfortable in the palace, we’d better come out early. Go to greet the empress first. I’ll talk to the emperor for a while and then come to you. “‘
“Okay.”Huo Wei nodded. Seeing the palace getting closer and closer, she felt relieved.
They separated soon after they entered the palace. On the way to the empress’s palace, Huo Wei didn’t have the chance to see more. She only felt that the Imperial Palace was lofty and magnificent, and it was more dignified and imposing than the Forbidden City that could be visited by later generations.
The eunuchs and maids she met on the road were all well behaved and didn’t talk casually, which made her more serious. When she saw the empress, she bowed slightly and respectfully. “Greetings, empress. “
With a smile, the empress said, “Stand up, take a seat.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”According to the rules, Huo Wei sat down. Because she couldn’t look directly at the empress, she didn’t have the chance to see the empress’s face. She just kept smiling and waited for the empress to ask.
When the empress saw her face, she was surprised. “Miss Huo, you look familiar. Who do you look like?”
The empress looked at the people around her. The two maids looked at her up and down, but they all shook their heads, saying that they couldn’t see through her. Huo Wei also took the opportunity to raise her head and quickly glanced at the empress’s face. As she expected, the empress was dignified and noble, with the tenderness and love of the elders, making people feel close to her at the sight of her.
At this moment, the empress said, “Maybe Miss Huo is good-looking. She made me feel close to her.”
The empress waved at her and said with a smile, “Come to me. Let me have a good look.”
When Huo Wei walked over, the empress held her hand and said happily, “No wonder Yunxiao is so nervous about you. He is so anxious to get engaged. I said I would prepare for her for a few more days, but he refused. It turns out that you are so popular. I like you very much.”
Feeling her kindness, Huo Wei was a little surprised, but she relaxed and said with a smile, “It’s my honor to be liked by the empress. Thank you, Your Majesty.”
The empress asked, “I’ve heard that you’ve helped many ladies with that…style?A few days ago, Officer Lin’s wife came to the palace with her two daughters. She looked prettier than before, so I asked. She told me it was you who made it. How did you think of that style? “
Huo Wei thought for a while and said, “I used to play with these things in my spare time. I felt novel and interesting. As time went by, I would have many strange ideas. But I was restrained in the mansion before and couldn’t do these things at will. Now I have a female household and have much freedom. I mentioned it to my wife and ladies. Fortunately, they like it, so I have the chance to design more styles. “
The empress nodded. She had more or less guessed that she was not valued in the Lus and that she had been bored all day long to come up with these things, so she felt more pity for her. She raised her hand to touch her hair and asked expectantly, “How about you change my style?”
“Your Majesty, you are surrounded by skillful styling masters. They have already designed the best styling for the empress. I’m not as good at it as you.”
“It doesn’t matter. They will do it better than you all their lives, but you happen to have new ideas. They know me well every day, so they won’t try a new style and makeup easily. It’s your first time to see me today. You can have a try. Even if you don’t let me look good, I won’t blame you. “The empress didn’t know why she was interested in it. She heard that Huo Wei was good at styling, so she wanted her to do it. She stood up and pulled her to a spacious and bright place.
Vivian felt that the empress was quite straightforward. In addition, the feeling of intimacy between the two people closed the distance, so she did not refuse and began to change the shape of the empress.
She asked the empress if she had any special preferences. She thought the empress would say no, but the empress thought for a moment and said with a smile, “When I first met our majesty, he said he liked me at a glance and wanted me to be his empress. Then he drew the picture of me on the swing. Why don’t you do a younger one for me? When the emperor comes, he will be shocked! “
Huo Wei was surprised that the relationship between the empress and the emperor was so good. It was rare in the royal family. The empress didn’t mean to scare the emperor? Obviously, she wanted to give him a surprise!
But when she thought that they were the parents of the main character, she felt that everything was possible. Generally, the parents of the main character were either extremely opposed to the heroine, or very kind and appreciated her.
There was no description of the couple in the book, but she had already taken them as the kind of particular kind people.
She asked the empress with a smile, trying to get close to the empress at that time. But of course, it couldn’t be exactly the same as that time, otherwise, it wouldn’t cause a good memory. Instead, it would make people find that she was old. No matter how well she took care of herself, it was still different.
So she planned to dress the empress up to be beautiful and young after knowing what she looked like at that time. As long as she focused on the feeling of youth, the emperor would be refreshed and see the empress amazed, she would definitely be a surprise.
They talked and laughed happily. The atmosphere in the palace of the empress was very good because the servants hadn’t seen the empress so happy for a long time. Master was happy, and they were also happy as servants. They had memorized the character “Huo Wei”.
This was a girl who can make the empress happy, and also the future wife of King Qin. They couldn’t offend her.
In the imperial library on the other side, the emperor was reading a scroll when Lou Ye entered. After Lou Ye saluted, the emperor smiled at the scroll and said, “When I first saw the empress, I still felt the scene in front of me. But in a blink of an eye, you are already an adult and you are going to marry your sweetheart. Time flies. It has been almost twenty years. “
Lou Ye walked up to him and looked at the portrait on the table. Noticing that the seal was the emperor’s, he asked in surprise, “Your Majesty, you are so good at painting?”
The emperor laughed, “Of course. Do you think I will only go to the court and approve the memorial? When I was young, I was a scholar. I had a private visit and ranked first in a competition of all the scholars. At that time, my life was much more wonderful than yours. How could I be as boring as you? The girl you like doesn’t dislike you? “
“Of course not. I’ll do whatever she likes. It’s not boring at all? It’s just that I didn’t want to bother you before. “Lou Ye looked at the emperor and said, “Although I didn’t draw a picture for her, I made a kite for her. She can appreciate and play.”
“You, you still have to defend yourself!” The emperor laughed and said, “I’m afraid that you’ll be dull and pissed off the girl? You are much better than I was. As long as you like her, you can marry her. In the past, I tried every means to coax the empress, but I suffered a lot. “
The empress dowager died a long time ago. The emperor felt a little nostalgic. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, “I remember that she was angry because I drew this painting for the empress. She said that she couldn’t compare with a girl after raising a son for so many years.”
The emperor smiled and said, “I cheered her up by making a painting for her the whole night. It seems to be here as well.”
The emperor looked at the eunuch. The eunuch knew where it was, so he fetched it and showed it to the emperor carefully. The emperor’s eyes were full of memories. He felt lucky that he had drawn this painting himself. Now when he missed the empress dowager, he could still take it out.
“This is the young look of the empress I drew on purpose. To make her happy, I drew her ten years younger.”The emperor explained to Lou Ye with a smile. When he turned around, he saw that Lou Ye looked a little strange. He frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong? “
Lou Ye shook his head and said, “It’s not wrong. It’s…” he looked at the emperor and then at the painting. “It’s a coincidence. Miss Huo looks like the empress dowager in this painting.”
“Oh?” The emperor was surprised. “Is there anyone in the world who looks like the empress so much? really want to see her. “
The emperor ordered his servants to put away the painting. Without saying anything more to Lou Ye, he took him to the empress’s palace. On the way, he confirmed with Lou Ye, “Really?”
Lou Ye nodded and said, “Yes, but it’s not surprising that there are so many people who look like each other in the world. Your majesty, don’t scare Miss Huo. “
The emperor shook his head and laughed, cursing, “You brat”.
Lou Ye felt relaxed in front of the emperor, because every time he came to the palace to see the emperor, the emperor appreciated and liked him very much, just like a very kind elder.
That was also the reason why his father asked him to change his name and he dared to call him “Yunxiao”. He knew that the emperor didn’t mind it at all. They were courtiers and old friends. They were very close to each other.
On the way, when the emperor asked about Huo Wei, Lou Ye talked a lot to the emperor as if they were family. He was usually cold to others, but it was rare for him to be willing to talk so much like a junior. The emperor was also happy to see her. He had a crush on her, who could make Lou Xiao care about her so much. He liked her even more before they met.
When the emperor walked into the empress’s palace, Huo Wei had just finished the styling for the empress. The hairstyle of the empress was that of a young woman, and the clothes were soft and obedient. The bright color perfectly highlighted the good figure and beautiful neck of the empress, making her look like a newly married woman. Inexplicably, she felt like she was about to bloom, between youth and maturity.
empress was surprised to see herself in the mirror. Before she came to herself, the emperor came in. She looked back and saw the emperor’s eyes full of amazement!
The empress smiled and walked two steps towards the emperor. “Your Majesty…”
“Darling, please stand up!” The Emperor didn’t even wait for her to salute. He quickly walked up to her and held her. He kept looking at her and said in disbelief, “Darling, you…”
“Ahem!”The empress still remembered that there was someone beside her. She coughed in a hurry, but her face was a little red. They had been married for almost twenty years, but the emperor still looked at her like this. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, thinking that the two juniors were here. She was really embarrassed. The emperor even called her nickname.
The emperor came back to his senses. He stopped talking and turned to look at her.
When he saw Huo Wei, he was stunned. He was not as absent-minded as he was when he first saw empress, but too surprised and unbelievable. Only he had seen the empress dowager when she was young. Even when the empress saw her, she was much plumper. So only he knew how much she resembled the empress dowager.
If she dressed like the empress dowager when she was young, they would definitely look like 70%!
He had never seen such a person look like her in his life!
“You…” the emperor wanted to ask her which family she was from, but it suddenly occurred to him that her origin was a mystery. She didn’t even know who her parents were. He asked immediately, “Have you found any clue about your parents?”
Huo Wei was confused. She thought the emperor was going to ask her about the hairstyle. Why did he look at her and ask her parents? She replied with a little confusion, “I haven’t found out my background yet. I only know that it was a woman in her forties who took me to the mountain behind the Li village. She seemed to be hunted down. Now I’m investigating her handbag, jade pendant, and jade hairpin. I haven’t found any other clues. “
The empress knew the emperor best, so she asked, “Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong? You didn’t mention it last time. “She looked at Huo Wei and recalled the familiar feeling before. She asked doubtfully, “Your Majesty, do you think she looks like someone? I think so, but I can’t remember it for a while. “
The emperor waved his hand, and the eunuch master ordered the servants to leave, leaving only the emperor’s servants to serve him. The emperor sat down and said with a slight frown, “I also took the portrait of mother to have a look. Do you still remember the one I drew for her? I wanted to make mother happy and drew her young appearance on purpose. “
The empress thought for a while and suddenly realized something. She looked at Huo Wei and said, “I’ve told you that Wei is a kind girl, but I can’t remember that I saw her on that painting. Yes, Wei looks like the empress dowager. If she is compared with that painting, she looks really like her. “
It was hard for the empress to hide her surprise. After all, it was too difficult to find two people who looked like seven people in the world. Huo Wei also felt that this was too coincidental. In the era of the developed Internet, there were not many people who looked like her, not to mention in such an ancient time, which was also in the capital city, seven percent similar. Her origin was still a mystery. How could it be related? No wonder his majesty attached great importance to this matter.
Lou Ye stood beside Huo Wei and looked at her with concern, afraid that she would be afraid. Huo Wei gave him a reassuring look. Lou Ye nodded and asked, “Your Majesty, what happened to the empress dowager and her family? The woman who took Miss Huo away was seriously injured and died of excessive loss of blood. What was the reason for this? Is there any secret involved? “
No secret could make people kill a baby girl? What’s more, they even tried to kill him. Both the emperor and the empress thought it was unreasonable, but the fight in the backyard might have involved enmity.
However, they couldn’t know about it. In recent years, there were few relatives of the empress dowager, so it was not easy to find out what had happened in the past. But the emperor couldn’t take her lightly because she looked like her. He immediately ordered them to find out her identity.
Under the emperor’s order, a small case turned into a big case in an instant, and no one dared to ignore it. All the officials involved in the investigation became nervous, serious, and personally inquired about everything in the case. Moreover, with the emperor’s order, they could investigate anywhere they wanted. As long as there were clues about what had happened in the past, they would definitely find them out. It was just a matter of time.
That day, Huo Wei and Lou Ye stayed to have dinner with the emperor and the empress. The emperor was very dignified in front of everyone except his close friends. However, he didn’t show much respect to Huo Wei. He didn’t know whether she looked like his mother or she was adorable herself.
When Lou Ye and Huo Wei left the palace, the empress gave Huo Wei a token, indicating that she could enter the palace at any time.
With the emperor’s attention, she was relieved. No matter who had tried to kill her, the emperor would find it out without being afraid of anyone’s cover. Lou Ye was also very happy. His main force was not in the capital city, so it was not convenient for him to investigate what happened sixteen years ago. It would waste a lot of time. With the help of the emperor, he believed that he would soon know Huo Wei’s identity.
Now it seemed that Huo Wei was most likely a member of the Liu’s, where also the empress dowager came from. She looked so much like her, and perhaps she was very close to her. She just couldn’t figure out why she had encountered such a thing in the past.
The emperor and the empress couldn’t figure it out. Sixteen years ago, it happened to be the year when the empress gave birth to the third prince. At that time, the empress dowager was still alive. They didn’t hear anything about her family. She looks so much like the empress dowager. She should be the direct descendant of the Huo’s? The empress didn’t remember that the empress’s mother had a legitimate wife who was pregnant at the same time as her. She felt very strange.
When the two of them talked in private, they always felt that something was ignored, but they couldn’t catch the fleeting thought and couldn’t get the answer.
The third prince also felt it strange. He had tried to make Huo Wei his concubine for a long time but failed. On the contrary, it might be his cousin? He remembered why he felt she looked familiar because he had seen the portrait of the empress dowager several years ago. Not long after the empress dowager passed away, the emperor missed her and took it out to have a look.
He felt a little regretful. Why didn’t he investigate more when he thought she looked familiar? If he recognized Huo Wei and used her to win over Lou Ye, then Lou Ye would be his brother-in-law? It was a great miss of miss her.
The father of the empress was the prime minister, who supported the third prince to take the throne. When the third prince saw him in private, he couldn’t help but sigh. He wondered if he could win over Lou Ye if he showed his kindness to her? After all, they were cousins. As long as they were related, they could get close to each other.
“No way!” The prime minister denied it without hesitation. He said in a deep voice, “Lou Ye is only loyal to the emperor and won’t be won over. He did it too deliberately at this time, which will easily arouse our Majesty’s suspicion.”
The third prince didn’t like him to refute him. He pursed his lips and said, “In fact, father loves me very much. I don’t need to do these things. I can take that position in the future.”
The prime minister glanced at him and said, “There is no absolute certainty in the world. It’s common in history that the crown prince was abolished. The third prince, you can’t be careless.”
The third prince replied, but he was unhappy. Could he be the same as those princes in history? He was the favorite son of the emperor. Even for the sake of his mother, the emperor would not give the throne to anyone else. He really didn’t know why his grandfather was so nervous.
The prime minister also warned him not to be careless. He must be careful and not be willful in anything. Hearing these words, the third prince became impatient. He found an excuse to walk after listening perfunctorily.
The grand councilor’s face darkened. After he left, he stood alone by the window of the study, frowning and looking outside, deep in thought.
After a while, the son of the prime minister, who was also the elder brother of the empress came in a hurry. He waved off the servants, closed the door and windows, and whispered to the grand councilor, “Father, I’ve arranged everything.”
The prime minister asked in a deep voice, “Is she really the baby girl?”
‘
“Yes, sir.”The elder brother of the empress said seriously, “Father, don’t worry. I let her escape from the disaster once. This time, I will definitely let her disappear in this world.”
“Well, we can’t let her ruin our great career.”

In her previous life, Huo Wei had acted in the entertainment industry several times, but she had never seen the real emperor and empress. Now she was going to see him so suddenly. She felt a little nervous. She sat upright in the carriage and opened the curtain to look at Lou Ye.

The empress waved at her and said with a smile, “Come to me. Let me have a good look.”
When Huo Wei walked over, the empress held her hand and said happily, “No wonder Yunxiao is so nervous about you. He is so anxious to get engaged. I said I would prepare for her for a few more days, but he refused. It turns out that you are so popular. I like you very much.”
Feeling her kindness, Huo Wei was a little surprised, but she relaxed and said with a smile, “It’s my honor to be liked by the empress. Thank you, Your Majesty.”
The empress asked, “I’ve heard that you’ve helped many ladies with that…style?A few days ago, Officer Lin’s wife came to the palace with her two daughters. She looked prettier than before, so I asked. She told me it was you who made it. How did you think of that style? “
Huo Wei thought for a while and said, “I used to play with these things in my spare time. I felt novel and interesting. As time went by, I would have many strange ideas. But I was restrained in the mansion before and couldn’t do these things at will. Now I have a female household and have much freedom. I mentioned it to my wife and ladies. Fortunately, they like it, so I have the chance to design more styles. “
The empress nodded. She had more or less guessed that she was not valued in the Lus and that she had been bored all day long to come up with these things, so she felt more pity for her. She raised her hand to touch her hair and asked expectantly, “How about you change my style?”
“Your Majesty, you are surrounded by skillful styling masters. They have already designed the best styling for the empress. I’m not as good at it as you.”
“It doesn’t matter. They will do it better than you all their lives, but you happen to have new ideas. They know me well every day, so they won’t try a new style and makeup easily. It’s your first time to see me today. You can have a try. Even if you don’t let me look good, I won’t blame you. “The empress didn’t know why she was interested in it. She heard that Huo Wei was good at styling, so she wanted her to do it. She stood up and pulled her to a spacious and bright place.

Then he drew the picture of me on the swing. Why don’t you do a younger one for me? When the emperor comes, he will be shocked! “
Huo Wei was surprised that the relationship between the empress and the emperor was so good. It was rare in the royal family. The empress didn’t mean to scare the emperor? Obviously, she wanted to give him a surprise!
But when she thought that they were the parents of the main character, she felt that everything was possible. Generally, the parents of the main character were either extremely opposed to the heroine, or very kind and appreciated her.
There was no description of the couple in the book, but she had already taken them as the kind of particular kind people.
She asked the empress with a smile, trying to get close to the empress at that time. But of course, it couldn’t be exactly the same as that time, otherwise, it wouldn’t cause a good memory. Instead, it would make people find that she was old. No matter how well she took care of herself, it was still different.
So she planned to dress the empress up to be beautiful and young after knowing what she looked like at that time. As long as she focused on the feeling of youth, the emperor would be refreshed and see the empress amazed, she would definitely be a surprise.
They talked and laughed happily. The atmosphere in the palace of the empress was very good because the servants hadn’t seen the empress so happy for a long time. Master was happy, and they were also happy as servants. They had memorized the character “Huo Wei”.
This was a girl who can make the empress happy, and also the future wife of King Qin. They couldn’t offend her.
In the imperial library on the other side, the emperor was reading a scroll when Lou Ye entered. After Lou Ye saluted, the emperor smiled at the scroll and said, “When I first saw the empress, I still felt the scene in front of me. But in a blink of an eye, you are already an adult and you are going to marry your sweetheart. Time flies. It has been almost twenty years. “
Lou Ye walked up to him and looked at the portrait on the table. Noticing that the seal was the emperor’s, he asked in surprise, “Your Majesty, you are so good at painting?”
The emperor laughed, “Of course. Do you think I will only go to the court and approve the memorial? When I was young, I was a scholar. I had a private visit and ranked first in a competition of all the scholars. At that time, my life was much more wonderful than yours. How could I be as boring as you? The girl you like doesn’t dislike you? “
“Of course not. I’ll do whatever she likes. It’s not boring at all? It’s just that I didn’t want to bother you before. “Lou Ye looked at the emperor and said, “Although I didn’t draw a picture for her, I made a kite for her. She can appreciate and play.”

“This is the young look of the empress I drew on purpose. To make her happy, I drew her ten years younger.”The emperor explained to Lou Ye with a smile. When he turned around, he saw that Lou Ye looked a little strange. He frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong? “
Lou Ye shook his head and said, “It’s not wrong. It’s…” he looked at the emperor and then at the painting. “It’s a coincidence. Miss Huo looks like the empress dowager in this painting.”
“Oh?” The emperor was surprised. “Is there anyone in the world who looks like the empress so much? really want to see her. “
The emperor ordered his servants to put away the painting. Without saying anything more to Lou Ye, he took him to the empress’s palace. On the way, he confirmed with Lou Ye, “Really?”
Lou Ye nodded and said, “Yes, but it’s not surprising that there are so many people who look like each other in the world. Your majesty, don’t scare Miss Huo. “
The emperor shook his head and laughed, cursing, “You brat”.
Lou Ye felt relaxed in front of the emperor, because every time he came to the palace to see the emperor, the emperor appreciated and liked him very much, just like a very kind elder.
That was also the reason why his father asked him to change his name and he dared to call him “Yunxiao”. He knew that the emperor didn’t mind it at all. They were courtiers and old friends. They were very close to each other.
On the way, when the emperor asked about Huo Wei, Lou Ye talked a lot to the emperor as if they were family. He was usually cold to others, but it was rare for him to be willing to talk so much like a junior. The emperor was also happy to see her. He had a crush on her, who could make Lou Xiao care about her so much. He liked her even more before they met.
When the emperor walked into the empress’s palace, Huo Wei had just finished the styling for the empress.

“Darling, please stand up!” The Emperor didn’t even wait for her to salute. He quickly walked up to her and held her. He kept looking at her and said in disbelief, “Darling, you…”
“Ahem!”The empress still remembered that there was someone beside her. She coughed in a hurry, but her face was a little red. They had been married for almost twenty years, but the emperor still looked at her like this. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, thinking that the two juniors were here. She was really embarrassed. The emperor even called her nickname.
The emperor came back to his senses. He stopped talking and turned to look at her.
When he saw Huo Wei, he was stunned. He was not as absent-minded as he was when he first saw empress, but too surprised and unbelievable. Only he had seen the empress dowager when she was young. Even when the empress saw her, she was much plumper. So only he knew how much she resembled the empress dowager.
If she dressed like the empress dowager when she was young, they would definitely look like 70%!
He had never seen such a person look like her in his life!
“You…” the emperor wanted to ask her which family she was from, but it suddenly occurred to him that her origin was a mystery. She didn’t even know who her parents were. He asked immediately, “Have you found any clue about your parents?”
Huo Wei was confused. She thought the emperor was going to ask her about the hairstyle. Why did he look at her and ask her parents? She replied with a little confusion, “I haven’t found out my background yet. I only know that it was a woman in her forties who took me to the mountain behind the Li village. She seemed to be hunted down. Now I’m investigating her handbag, jade pendant, and jade hairpin. I haven’t found any other clues. “
The empress knew the emperor best, so she asked, “Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong? You didn’t mention it last time. “She looked at Huo Wei and recalled the familiar feeling before. She asked doubtfully, “Your Majesty, do you think she looks like someone? I think so, but I can’t remember it for a while. “
The emperor waved his hand, and the eunuch master ordered the servants to leave, leaving only the emperor’s servants to serve him. The emperor sat down and said with a slight frown, “I also took the portrait of mother to have a look. Do you still remember the one I drew for her? I wanted to make mother happy and drew her young appearance on purpose. “
The empress thought for a while and suddenly realized something. She looked at Huo Wei and said, “I’ve told you that Wei is a kind girl, but I can’t remember that I saw her on that painting. Yes, Wei looks like the empress dowager. If she is compared with that painting, she looks really like her. “
It was hard for the empress to hide her surprise. After all, it was too difficult to find two people who looked like seven people in the world. Huo Wei also felt that this was too coincidental. In the era of the developed Internet, there were not many people who looked like her, not to mention in such an ancient time, which was also in the capital city, seven percent similar. Her origin was still a mystery. How could it be related? No wonder his majesty attached great importance to this matter.
Lou Ye stood beside Huo Wei and looked at her with concern, afraid that she would be afraid. Huo Wei gave him a reassuring look. Lou Ye nodded and asked, “Your Majesty, what happened to the empress dowager and her family? The woman who took Miss Huo away was seriously injured and died of excessive loss of blood. What was the reason for this? Is there any secret involved? “
No secret could make people kill a baby girl? What’s more, they even tried to kill him. Both the emperor and the empress thought it was unreasonable, but the fight in the backyard might have involved enmity.
However, they couldn’t know about it. In recent years, there were few relatives of the empress dowager, so it was not easy to find out what had happened in the past. But the emperor couldn’t take her lightly because she looked like her. He immediately ordered them to find out her identity.
Under the emperor’s order, a small case turned into a big case in an instant, and no one dared to ignore it. All the officials involved in the investigation became nervous, serious, and personally inquired about everything in the case. Moreover, with the emperor’s order, they could investigate anywhere they wanted. As long as there were clues about what had happened in the past, they would definitely find them out. It was just a matter of time.
That day, Huo Wei and Lou Ye stayed to have dinner with the emperor and the empress. The emperor was very dignified in front of everyone except his close friends. However, he didn’t show much respect to Huo Wei. He didn’t know whether she looked like his mother or she was adorable herself.
When Lou Ye and Huo Wei left the palace, the empress gave Huo Wei a token, indicating that she could enter the palace at any time.
With the emperor’s attention, she was relieved. No matter who had tried to kill her, the emperor would find it out without being afraid of anyone’s cover. Lou Ye was also very happy. His main force was not in the capital city, so it was not convenient for him to investigate what happened sixteen years ago. It would waste a lot of time. With the help of the emperor, he believed that he would soon know Huo Wei’s identity.
Now it seemed that Huo Wei was most likely a member of the Liu’s, where also the empress dowager came from. She looked so much like her, and perhaps she was very close to her. She just couldn’t figure out why she had encountered such a thing in the past.
The emperor and the empress couldn’t figure it out. Sixteen years ago, it happened to be the year when the empress gave birth to the third prince. At that time, the empress dowager was still alive. They didn’t hear anything about her family. She looks so much like the empress dowager. She should be the direct descendant of the Huo’s? The empress didn’t remember that the empress’s mother had a legitimate wife who was pregnant at the same time as her. She felt very strange.
When the two of them talked in private, they always felt that something was ignored, but they couldn’t catch the fleeting thought and couldn’t get the answer.
The third prince also felt it strange. He had tried to make Huo Wei his concubine for a long time but failed. On the contrary, it might be his cousin? He remembered why he felt she looked familiar because he had seen the portrait of the empress dowager several years ago. Not long after the empress dowager passed away, the emperor missed her and took it out to have a look.
He felt a little regretful. Why didn’t he investigate more when he thought she looked familiar? If he recognized Huo Wei and used her to win over Lou Ye, then Lou Ye would be his brother-in-law? It was a great miss of miss her.
The father of the empress was the prime minister, who supported the third prince to take the throne. When the third prince saw him in private, he couldn’t help but sigh. He wondered if he could win over Lou Ye if he showed his kindness to her? After all, they were cousins. As long as they were related, they could get close to each other.
“No way!” The prime minister denied it without hesitation. He said in a deep voice, “Lou Ye is only loyal to the emperor and won’t be won over. He did it too deliberately at this time, which will easily arouse our Majesty’s suspicion.”
The third prince didn’t like him to refute him. He pursed his lips and said, “In fact, father loves me very much. I don’t need to do these things. I can take that position in the future.”
The prime minister glanced at him and said, “There is no absolute certainty in the world. It’s common in history that the crown prince was abolished. The third prince, you can’t be careless.”
The third prince replied, but he was unhappy. Could he be the same as those princes in history? He was the favorite son of the emperor. Even for the sake of his mother, the emperor would not give the throne to anyone else. He really didn’t know why his grandfather was so nervous.
The prime minister also warned him not to be careless. He must be careful and not be willful in anything. Hearing these words, the third prince became impatient. He found an excuse to walk after listening perfunctorily.
The grand councilor’s face darkened. After he left, he stood alone by the window of the study, frowning and looking outside, deep in thought.
After a while, the son of the prime minister, who was also the elder brother of the empress came in a hurry. He waved off the servants, closed the door and windows, and whispered to the grand councilor, “Father, I’ve arranged everything.”
The prime minister asked in a deep voice, “Is she really the baby girl?”
‘
“Yes, sir.”The elder brother of the empress said seriously, “Father, don’t worry. I let her escape from the disaster once. This time, I will definitely let her disappear in this world.”
“Well, we can’t let her ruin our great career.”
