Chapter 94 Calculation

After seeing Zheng Su enter the palace, the Queen finally showed a satisfied smile. Now that he had entered his Fengxiang Palace today, he could not expect to leave smoothly.

Hai Momo, the Queen's personal eunuch, walked up to her and whispered, "Your Highness, all the invited guests are present."

The Queen sat up straight and said to the brothers with a smile, "The flowers in Fengxiang Palace are blooming beautifully recently. It would be a waste for one person to appreciate such a beautiful scene, so today I invite you all to enjoy it together. There is no need to be formal."

"Hai Momo, serve tea to all the gentlemen." The Queen said to Hai Momo with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness." Hai Momo immediately started making arrangements after receiving the order.

Soon, eunuchs came in one after another from outside the door carrying tea cups, and the king and queen showed a determined smile.

One of the eunuchs came to Zheng Su with tea, pretended to slip, and spilled all the tea on Zheng Su's clothes. The eunuch immediately knelt down and apologized.

"You are so clumsy! Why don't you take Master Zheng to change his clothes?" The Queen pretended to be angry and scolded.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zheng, please follow me." The eunuch said in pretended fear.

For today's occasion, the Queen sent all the palace eunuchs out under the pretext of holding a flower-viewing banquet. Zheng Su followed the eunuchs all the way and did not see any of them.

"Mr. Zheng, we're here." The eunuch stood at the door and extended his hand to invite him in. At this time, the cassia incense had already been lit in the room, waiting for Zheng Su to come in.

As soon as Zheng Su left, a eunuch went out to inform the prince, and the prince walked through an empty path and came to the door of the room that had been reserved in advance.

The prince pushed the door open and entered, and the sweet fragrance of the love song hit him in the face. By the time he reached the bed, he was already feeling hot and uncomfortable.

The prince looked through the layers of bed curtains and saw a slender figure lying inside. For some reason, he couldn't see clearly. He thought it was because of the love incense, so he didn't care. However, he trusted the queen's methods very much, so he pounced on her regardless.

The Queen felt that the time was almost up, so she told everyone that they wanted to go out together to appreciate the flowers. Since Zheng Su had been changing clothes for a long time and had not come yet, she suggested asking Zheng Su to go with them.

Although the Queen was somewhat puzzled as to why the eunuch he had sent out had not returned yet, this was the only chance he could not miss. In addition, all the people in the palace were his people, so the Queen confidently led her people there.

"Mr. Zheng, have you changed your clothes?" Hai Momo walked forward and knocked on the door and asked.

After the door was knocked, there was a sound of something heavy hitting from inside. Hai Momo pushed the door open with a worried look on her face. Everyone followed behind her, but they saw a shocking scene.

A half-naked eunuch was sitting huddled on the ground, while the prince on the bed was looking at the eunuch angrily. The loud noise just now was the sound of the prince kicking the eunuch off the bed.

The Queen and Hai Momo were in a state of panic. The Queen's face was filled with anger as she shouted, "You daring and unruly slave, how dare you seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Someone, take him away."

"Your Highness, I have been wronged. Please forgive me." The eunuch who was curled up on the ground immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. This wicked slave is trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. I, the Queen, will punish him severely. You all can move into the palace to look at the flowers. Hai Momo, take them there." The Queen took a deep breath and said with forced calmness.

This group of young masters followed Hai Momo obediently and left. The road was eerily quiet. They thought about the scene just now. They were all brothers raised in aristocratic families. How could they not know what had just happened?

All the brothers who originally wanted to enter the Eastern Palace gave up this idea. Such a queen and prince are simply too terrifying.

When the group arrived outside the hall, they found that Zheng Su, who had gone to change clothes, was admiring the flowers outside the hall. The clothes he was wearing were exactly the same as when he left.

"Mr. Zheng, why are you here? Aren't you going to change clothes?" Hai Momo looked at Zheng Su with a questioning tone.

Zheng Su seemed startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Hai Momo, I noticed the flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom as I walked along the corridor. Plus, it was hot, and I thought my clothes would dry quickly, so I didn't want to bother Her Majesty any more, so I came to the courtyard alone to enjoy the flowers and dry my clothes."

Hai Momo wanted to scold but she had no right to do so. She could only swallow her anger and her face looked extremely ugly.

The Queen arrived late. When she walked in front of everyone and saw Zheng Su, the smile on her face froze for a moment. Hai Momo took the opportunity to lean over to the Queen's ear and whispered a few words.

As a master of palace fighting in the harem, the Queen naturally understood that all this was not a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose.

But he didn't know who could do this. Old Ten, it's impossible. He didn't have the ability to interfere in the affairs of his palace. The eunuchs in his palace were all his people. Could it be His Majesty?

The Queen quickly shook her head in her heart. It couldn't be His Majesty. His Majesty wanted to bring the Crown Prince and Zheng Su together, but once the seed of doubt was planted, it could no longer be controlled.

The Queen could only put on a mask and force a smile while chatting with the young masters, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Queen was not paying attention at all, and everyone was also not paying attention and wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a eunuch came to the Queen's ear and whispered something. The Queen's expression changed drastically. Then she looked at everyone and said with a smile, "The sun is getting higher and hotter. I will not keep you here any longer. Everyone should go back to the palace and get some rest."

"Yes." The brothers answered in unison, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief. It was really terrible.

The Queen brought Hai Momo to the room they had just been in. The difference was that the eunuch was now lying on the ground, dying.

"Your Highness, this slave has just confessed. He said that His Majesty ordered him to do this in order to pave the way for the Third Prince." The eunuch in charge of the torture came before the Queen and knelt down to report.

"I knew it, I knew it, Daddy. There is no one else who can do this except the Emperor. I thought the Emperor loved me the most, but I didn't expect it was the third brother." The prince clenched his fists in anger.

Although the Queen felt that everything was too coincidental, she could not help but believe it. The eunuchs in his palace had all been investigated several times, and only those with clean family backgrounds and loyal to him were allowed to stay in his palace. Apart from His Majesty, there was no one else in the palace who could hide from his investigation.

If it was the Third Prince's biological father, Concubine Yan, then without the help of His Majesty, he would never have the ability to insert someone into his palace.

"Throw him into a mass grave." The Queen looked at the eunuch lying in a pool of blood with disgust, and left the room without looking back. The Crown Prince followed closely behind her and left with the Queen.
