At the funeral of Prime Minister Xiao, people talked a lot and rumors spread, all claiming that Prime Minister Xiao's death was closely related to Qin Yan of Dingguo Palace.At this moment, Yan Changyun arrived with his troops and insisted on taking away Prime Minister Xiao's body.After Xiao Quan learned about it, he immediately went to the palace to face the saint, and tearfully accused Duke Yan Changyun of avenging himself. He also claimed that the words "Guan You" left by his father before his death must be related to an old person in Dingguo Palace.In order to appease Xiao Quan, the emperor had no choice but to order Yan Changyun to return the body.
When Yan Changyun inspected the body, he accidentally discovered that Prime Minister Xiao's hair was mixed with women's powder, and the fatal wound on his chest was not caused by a person with strong martial arts skills.At the same time, the queen was devastated by the loss of her father. She recalled that the last time she returned to her parents' home was a farewell, and she couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.Xiao Qiangzi felt the same and drank with the queen, vowing to help the queen regain the emperor's favor.In her drunken state, the queen put makeup on Xiao Qiangzi herself and praised him for being more beautiful than a woman.Xiao Qiangzi told the truth after drinking and revealed that he was a woman, but the queen thought she was joking.
The next morning, Xiao Qiangzi walked out of the Phoenix Palace drunkenly, and happened to be seen by the emperor in the distance.Her appearance made the emperor's heart beat so much that he ordered someone to draw a portrait of Xiaoqiang dressed as a girl that night, hoping that this confidant would become his confidante.After Yan Changyun learned about this, he immediately rushed outside the Feng Palace and carried Xiao Qiangzi back to his residence.In the room, Xiao Qiangzi took Yan Changyun's hand, confessed his identity as a woman, and wanted to reveal his true feelings.Although Yan Changyun was shocked, he could not resist his inner emotions after all, and the two hugged each other and kissed.
When he woke up in the morning, Xiao Qiangzi recalled the passion last night. Although he was a little shy, he was more happy.She looked in the mirror carefully and confirmed that everything last night was not a dream.However, thinking that he had revealed the woman's identity to the queen, if the emperor knew about it, it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.On the other side, Xiao Quan was taking care of his sister to rest. Xiao Qiangzi was worried about the queen's safety and came to visit.Unintentionally, she saw Xiao Quan secretly kissing the sleeping queen through the crack in the door.Xiao Qiangzi was shocked and wanted to tell the emperor immediately, but then he thought that this would damage the queen's reputation, so he decided to keep it secret for the time being.
At this time, Xiao Quan had arrived at Fengyue's place. After Chu Yue learned the news, he immediately sent someone to inform Yan Changyun.Mr. Liu and a group of court officials were discussing the candidate for the new prime minister in a private room.Xiao Quan suddenly appeared with evidence of their bribery, and everyone immediately did not dare to make a mistake when they saw this.Master Liu became even more silent after seeing his wife's blood ring.Chu Yue was eavesdropping and was accidentally discovered by Xiao Quan.Xiao Quan ordered people to investigate the details of Chu Yue, and at the same time learned that the fragrant powder on the body of Prime Minister Xiao was from the palace.Yan Changyun ordered Wei Tianjiao to investigate the matter thoroughly and be sure to find the person who used the fragrant powder.
Chu Yue took the risk to visit Yan Changyun at night and told him all the information he overheard.The meeting between the two was secretly noticed by Xiao Quan, and Chu Yue's true identity gradually emerged - she was actually Lei Bao's daughter.Xiao Quan knew that Yan Changyun took good care of the people in Guan You's old department, so he ordered his men to closely monitor Chu Yue's every move.On the other hand, Wei Tianjiao filled the palace to investigate the matter of fragrant powder, which attracted Xiao Quan's attention.He decided to use the fragrant powder to blame Chu Yue and eradicate the remaining evildoers of Guan You in one fell swoop.
At the court meeting the next day, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty recommended Xiao Quan to take over as prime minister.Only Yan Changyun firmly opposed it, but other ministers were helplessly restrained by the evidence in Xiao Quan's possession and had no choice but to agree.In the end, Xiao Quan successfully took over as prime minister.After the queen learned the news, she was worried, worried that her brother would be like her father and disrespect the emperor in the future.Xiao Qiangzi admonished the queen to keep a distance from Xiao Quan to avoid unnecessary trouble.However, these words were overheard by Xiao Quan.On the way back, Xiao Quan intercepted Xiao Qiangzi halfway. After some coercion and inducement, Xiao Qiangzi finally vowed not to reveal what he saw that day.However, Xiao Qiangzi knew that Xiao Quan would never let him go easily.So, she blew the jade bone whistle while running for her life, hoping to attract reinforcements.Yan Changyun came over after hearing the news and saw Xiao Qiangzi lying on the ground. His heart tightened and he hurriedly sent her back to the room for treatment.He bandaged Xiao Qiangzi's wounds in advance and asked the imperial physician to keep secret.
