Yesterday, the Empress learned that the eldest prince went to Jinzhou. An Shun has been worried ever since then, with his heart in his throat, fearing that His Majesty and the Empress would have a huge conflict over this matter.

Fortunately, the two did not have a very intense argument in the end.

But Anshun naturally had to find out how the Queen knew about this.

Today, he finally got all the investigation results in his hands, and only then did he dare to appear in front of His Majesty.

In order to have enough time to investigate the matter, he gave Fuquan a lot of benefits and asked Fuquan to cover for him.

But it's so difficult.

"Your Majesty, I have already found out that the reason why the Queen knew about the eldest prince's trip to Jinzhou the day before yesterday was because Princess Ruixi overheard the conversation between two palace maids, and the content of the conversation was bribed by Chen Cainu to spread the two palace maids."

Anshun spoke while leaning forward.

When Jun Zechen heard Chen Cainu, he had no impression at all.

"Who is Chen Cainu?" Jun Zechen frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Chen Cainu is a noble lady of the Shen family in Jinzhou and an elder in the Eastern Palace. She was demoted to a Cainu by Your Majesty because she poisoned the Empress's palace dress." Anshun explained.

Jun Zechen frowned even deeper, "What's the grudge between Shen and the Queen?"

Jun Zechen just felt extremely irritated in his heart, and now he was becoming more and more annoyed with these women in the palace.

But even though he was the emperor, he couldn't just abandon these women. At least it was Jun Zechen's responsibility to support them, and it was the only thing Jun Zechen could give them.

This is also where Jun Zechen feels helpless. Although the power of the harem is now in the hands of Yaoyao, there are so many women in the palace, how can he monitor every one of them, let alone a little concubine.

This time he even took advantage of the young princess's worries about her brother. His thoughts were so meticulous that it was hard to guard against.

He could only deal with these people when they jumped out to cause trouble, but he could not fundamentally prevent such things from happening.

Jun Zechen rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, his face full of fatigue.

"I have interrogated Shen. It was actually the guilty concubine Lin who asked Shen to wear the empress's palace clothes. According to Shen, the two of them were close friends. Lin helped Shen a lot in Jinzhou, so their 'friendship' was very deep."

Even it was a "friendship" that Anshun could not understand.

Then he continued, "That's why Shen was willing to act as a sharp blade for Lin and help her get rid of the queen."

"This time the eldest prince went to Jinzhou, which happened to be the hometown of Lin and Shen. Perhaps because of this, they knew the news that the eldest prince was going to Jinzhou, so they used the princess to reveal the news to the queen."

"What is her purpose?"

Jun Zechen lowered his eyes and muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, his eyes deep and solemn.

Few people in the court knew that the eldest prince had set out for Jinzhou. Everyone only knew that Jun Zechen had assigned a task to the eldest prince, but they were not aware that the eldest prince had gone to Jinzhou.

This news was kept strictly secret in the harem.

The only families in the court who are capable of finding out information about the eldest prince and are ambitious are the Yan family and the Chu family.

Shen informed the Queen of this matter, and it was obvious that she knew that he had concealed it from her.

How could a mere prostitute obtain so much confidential information?

Therefore, the Shen family is just a small link in the layers of calculations, and there must be someone behind the scenes making plans.

The Yan family was jumping up and down in the court, but Jun Zechen tolerated it for the time being, because the Yan and Chu families were originally used as training for Jun Yihuan.

But if Concubine Yan were to run wild in the harem, she would be courting her own death!

An extremely cold look instantly appeared in Jun Zechen's eyes.

"Since Shen has done such a thing, it means she wants to die. Let her do it."

Jun Zechen's expression was calm, but his voice was as cold as if it came from the abyss of Hell.

"Send secret guards to monitor Concubine Yan at all times. The Queen is pregnant now, so there can be no mistakes. If there is any evidence that Concubine Yan is plotting against the Queen, she will be imprisoned in Yuqing Palace immediately."

Wait until Jun Yihuan has dealt with the Yan family properly before dealing with Yan Zhaoyi.

If we act now, we will definitely alert the enemy.

Kunning Palace.

After being scolded by his father, Jun Jiayue was like a frost-bitten eggplant with his head drooping.

She also realized that she had been tricked by others.

The Queen Mother was pregnant and fainted because of this incident, and even had a miscarriage. It was all because of her stupidity.

Su Jingyao leaned against the head of the bed, and Jun Jiayue lay obediently in her mother's arms like a docile kitten.

"Mother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have left the person you placed by my side, and I fell into someone else's trap, causing you to worry about my eldest brother while you were pregnant."

Jun Jiayue's voice was tearful and her face was full of regret.

After saying that, he gently touched his mother's belly with his little hand, and then said to her belly very seriously: "I'm sorry, brother or sister, for scaring you in my belly."

Su Jingyao gently touched Jun Jiayue's hair with a smile as gentle as the spring breeze on her face.

"No one is perfect and Ning An is still young. As long as he is willing to correct his mistakes, that's the best." Su Jingyao's voice was gentle, as if it could heal all the pain.

"But can Ning An tell my mother why she ran away secretly?"

Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly and looked at her daughter in her arms with loving eyes.

"I just think Wei Zixiao is pretty, so I want to get to know her."

After Jun Jiayue finished speaking, her face turned slightly red and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
