The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Chapter 241 This woman has always been bold

Zhao Guoan, who was standing aside, nodded, indicating that he agreed with Luo Lan's opinion.

Then he said: "Yes, although this woman has many talents, she is just a commoner after all, and most importantly, a widow. With such status, how can she become the crown princess of a country? How will the people view our royal family?"

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Luo Lan fell into deep thought.

"An'er, this matter may still have a chance of turning around. Think about it, since Wang Xinyao is in such a bad environment,

If she can successfully increase crop yields, then maybe she can actually come up with some solutions to this drought.

If she can successfully resolve this severe drought problem and make such a huge contribution, we will grant her the position of concubine.

In this way, the people will probably stop gossiping.

This can not only appease the people, but also prevent Xuan Er from taking any drastic actions because of this matter.

This has hurt the father-son relationship between you, An'er, what do you think?" After a moment, Luo Lan said with a firm look.

After hearing this, a barely perceptible light suddenly flashed across Zhao Guoan's eyes, which had been as calm as water.

"What your Majesty Queen said makes perfect sense. However, I find it difficult to fathom what Wang Xinyao is thinking.

After all, this woman has always been bold and reckless, and I'm afraid she might not be willing to be inferior to others. " Zhao Guoan paused, frowning slightly, as if lost in thought.

Eunuch Xu, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up: "Your Majesty, I thought you might as well test Wang Xinyao's attitude first.

If she could understand the situation, she wouldn't refuse outright.

After saying this, Eunuch Xu lowered his head and didn't dare to say another word, for fear of angering the emperor by any mistake.

Zhao Guoan thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to Eunuch Xu who was still kneeling on the ground.

He said slowly, "Alright, get up. Considering that you are loyal this time, I will forgive you for now. But remember, if you dare to deceive me like this again in the future, I will not forgive you easily!"

After being pardoned, Eunuch Xu felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly thanked the emperor and stood up.

He secretly rejoiced that he had escaped, and at the same time swore in his heart that he would never make the same mistake again.

On the other side, Zhao Haoxuan, who was under house arrest at the moment, was extremely anxious in the house. He kept pacing back and forth in the room.

His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making him feel uneasy.

At this moment, he was concerned about Wang Xinyao, even though he was the prince and had an extremely noble status.

But faced with such a complicated situation, he began to worry whether he was really capable of protecting his loved ones.

His eyes flickered as he quietly changed into a set of guard's clothes.

Carefully avoiding the vigilant guards, he slipped out of the palace like a ghost.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to find Wang Xinyao as soon as possible.

And he accompanied her to deal with the worrying problem of drying up fields outside the capital.

Elsewhere in the palace, Zhao Guoan's originally firm heart began to waver under the persuasion of Empress Dowager Luo Lan.

So he sent Eunuch Xu to find Zhao Haoxuan, hoping to have a good talk with his son.

However, what no one expected was that when Eunuch Xu arrived, the prince's room was empty.

It was obvious that Zhao Haoxuan had taken the opportunity to slip away and leave the palace.

After hearing the news, Zhao Guoan was immediately furious. Just as he was about to lose his temper, the words his mother had just said suddenly appeared in his mind.

He took a deep breath and sighed helplessly.

It seems that in the past two years, after experiencing countless life and death tests, the son's character seems to have become more unruly and wild.

The boy who used to be well-behaved now even dared to sneak out of the palace while under house arrest.

Zhao Guoan shook his head slowly and sighed secretly: "Alas, the child has grown up and it is becoming more and more difficult to control him..."

He knew that this matter must not be made public easily, otherwise once it was known to people with ulterior motives, they would definitely take advantage of it.

Accusing the prince of disobeying the imperial edict caused quite a stir.

The news that the prince was under house arrest spread throughout the palace like a gust of wind, and naturally also reached the Beauty Palace where Concubine Yin was.

When she heard the news, Concubine Yin was stunned at first, and then burst into a sharp and piercing laugh.

"Hahaha... God is truly merciful!" Her originally beautiful face now looked a little distorted due to extreme excitement.

"Great! This prince is such a fool! He finally came back from outside, but he actually dared to disobey His Majesty. Now he's under house arrest! Humph, what a foolish idiot!"

At this point, the smug look on Concubine Yin's face grew even more intense. "Compared to that, my Li'er is still well-behaved and sensible. He is the true chosen son of heaven! In the future, the throne will definitely belong to him!"

Ever since Concubine Li was promoted, Concubine Yin hadn't laughed as heartily as she did today for a long time.

However, just as she was immersed in joy, the figure of Concubine Li suddenly appeared in her mind, and an uncontrollable hatred suddenly surged in her heart.

"That bitch!" Concubine Yin cursed with gritted teeth.

I spent the whole day hunting eagles, but I didn't expect that in the end I would let a small bird fly onto the branch. Now it dares to be on the same level with me. It's really hateful!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Concubine Yin slammed the table and shouted, "Someone come!"

As soon as the voice fell, an old maid hurried in, bowed respectfully and asked, "What are your orders, Madam?"

Concubine Yin narrowed her eyes, a sinister glint in her gaze.

She said coldly, "Mammy, go and find out the situation in Concubine Li's palace for me immediately, especially to find out who she has been in close contact with recently.

Also, try to bribe the people around her who are close to her. If bribery fails, then just use threats and intimidation.

In short, you must bring back useful intelligence to me, understand?" After saying this, a hint of viciousness flashed in Concubine Yin's eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely fulfill my mission!" The nanny responded quickly, then turned and hurried away to carry out the task assigned by Concubine Yin.

At this time, Zhao Haoxuan had already rushed to the manor where Wang Xinyao was. He searched for her in the town for a long time.

Finally, Wang Xinyao was found in the field checking the dry land.

When Wang Xinyao saw Zhao Haoxuan dressed as a guard, she was shocked at first.

Then he showed a look of joy: "Why are you here? It would be bad if we were discovered."
