As for Concubine Shu, leave it to my mother to deal with.

After finishing this matter, Jun Zechen stepped into Kunning Palace to pay his respects to the Queen.

"Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother."

Jun Zechen bowed slightly, looking respectful.

"Greetings? The Crown Prince was so majestic when he left Kunning Palace that day, carrying his concubine. I thought he never cared about the health of his mother, the Queen Mother."

The queen said sarcastically, her face full of displeasure and a hint of anger.

"Mother, I was wrong that day. I was just concerned about the concubine's health and lost my composure in a moment of anxiety."

Jun Zechen quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake with a sincere attitude.

"Then why did the prince come here today?"

The queen raised her head slightly and asked with a cold expression.

"I suspect that Aokiji is Consort Shu's man. Perhaps I need your help to resolve the matter."

Jun Zechen raised his head and looked at the queen.

When the Queen heard the word "Shufei", her brows suddenly frowned and her face became solemn.

"Shufei?"

"Yes, Qingzhi has more than one token from Concubine Shu. I suspect that Concubine Shu instructed Qingzhi to give the concubine contraceptive drugs, hoping to make me childless."

Jun Zechen calmly stated Concubine Shu's purpose.

The queen was furious and slammed the table beside her, making a loud "bang".

"She's bold!"

There was a sharp cold light in the queen's eyes.

Concubine Shu is really unwilling to give up. Now that His Majesty's health is getting worse and worse and he is no longer in the harem, she has lost favor, so she wants to make the Crown Prince heirless, so as to win over the court officials and support Prince Duan?

Don’t you even consider whether Prince Duan has the ability?

The queen became angrier and angrier as she cared most about the prince's offspring. This had always been a source of worry for her. Most people of his age would have both a son and a daughter.

But he is the crown prince, but he has no children!

"Don't be angry, mother. Concubine Shu and Prince Duan are not of any significance. Now the harem is under your control. You will deal with Concubine Shu."

Jun Zechen had a confident look on his face, his eyes were calm and resolute.

After all, he was reborn, and he remembered clearly who was available in the court and what would happen.

In addition, his father's health is getting worse and worse, so he is the one who handles most of the government affairs.

He had almost complete control over the court, except for a few stubborn aristocratic families.

However, it will be resolved sooner or later after he ascends the throne. Jun Zechen is just angry about Concubine Shu's behavior because she hurt Su Jingyao.

If Concubine Shu had not drugged her, she might have been pregnant with his child long ago, and why would she have displeased the Queen Mother? His eldest son would have been the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone would have been looking forward to his birth, no matter if it was his father, the Queen Mother, the court officials, or the people of the world.

And she will be honored for it.

The Queen felt a little dazed as she watched the Crown Prince, who seemed to be becoming more mature and resolute. The Crown Prince's aura and majesty were sometimes even more powerful than that of Her Majesty when he was in his prime.

How could she remember that her son was not like this a few months ago?

The Queen was somewhat suspicious, but she did not show it. Perhaps it was because His Majesty's health had been deteriorating recently, and the Crown Prince had gained more experience in the court and was more mature in handling matters.

"Well, the Queen Mother also believes in you, so leave the position of Concubine Shu to the Queen Mother."

The queen nodded slightly, her expression slightly relaxed.

Suddenly the subject changed.

"But, what's going on between you and the concubine?"

There was some dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"I worked so hard to organize the beauty pageant for you, and you personally selected seven beauties. Is the Crown Prince planning to keep them in the East Palace as decorations?"

The Queen's voice rose a few notches, her expression serious.

"Your son has his own plans, mother, don't worry."

Jun Zechen raised his head, not wanting to say more, but his tone was full of the meaning that he didn't want the Queen to interfere.

If Jun Zechen had not been reborn, he would indeed listen to his mother more at this time, but after being the emperor for decades, almost no one could refute his wishes, so his words seemed a bit strong.

No one knows a son better than his mother. From what the Queen heard from the Crown Prince, she knew that he did not say that he would not favor other women. Does that mean he will still favor them in the future?

"The Crown Prince has been holding off on favoring other women. Is he waiting for the concubine to become pregnant with your eldest son?"

The queen looked at him suspiciously, her eyes seeming to see through him.

Jun Zechen didn't say anything, but just pursed his lips slightly, as if he agreed.

"Nonsense! How can you guarantee that the concubine is pregnant with a son? Moreover, it is unknown when the concubine will be able to conceive. Now your father..."

The queen hesitated to speak, looking worried.

It was not stated explicitly, but Jun Zechen understood that his mother felt that his father would not live long, and it was indeed the case.

"If you had a child before you took that position, the court officials would be more convinced."

The queen spoke earnestly.

"Mother, I have my own control over the affairs of the court. Sooner or later, this world will belong to me. As for the women in the backyard, who I favor depends entirely on my mood and has nothing to do with others."

Jun Zechen still patiently expressed his attitude to his mother. In his previous life, he was able to ascend the throne when Ling Yue was the only one in the backyard of the Eastern Palace. Could it be that he has regressed in his new life?

"Queen Mother, please do not punish the concubine again in the future."

The queen was stunned for a moment. Is this something her son could say?

"Go back to your East Palace, it's up to you."

The queen waved her hands helplessly, rubbed her temples, and looked tired.
