“Puff! Cough cough cough…”
The Queen and Concubine Lou couldn't help but burst out laughing, but they quickly covered their mouths and dared not make any more sound.
Because Emperor Donglin had already cast a murderous gaze at them, which immediately frightened them so much that their hair stood on end and they dared not speak.
So this is something they can listen to?
Why do I unconsciously feel more sympathetic towards Emperor Donglin?
Isn't this too much of a price to pay in order to deal with Prince Huaiyang?
But they really want to see how Emperor Donglin cheats on them, it must be very exciting.
Emperor Donglin raised his hand helplessly to hold his forehead. When will he be able to let only himself hear his inner voice? He felt like he was going to die!
For the sake of their own lives, they should stop listening.
"Your Majesty, I have something to do in the palace, so I will go back first!"
...
...
"I have things to do too, so I'll go back to the palace first!"
The Queen and Concubine Lou all paid their respects and turned to leave. Alas, the price of listening to one's inner voice was too high and they could not afford it.
Seeing the concubines leave, the queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and left in a hurry as if her butt was on fire.
Fortunately, the Queen and the others left, and Emperor Donglin's face was saved.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Emperor Donglin specially invited many guests this time.
In addition, the recent war between Donglin Kingdom and Shu Kingdom was so powerful that it had intimidated the surrounding countries. Naturally, they sent their representatives to respond to the invitation from Emperor Donglin.
This banquet is very important.
But given his current situation, the Third Prince found it difficult to stand out at the banquet.
Especially the invitation to the princess's mansion. Although he disdained to go to the princess's mansion, all the princes were invited and he was the only one who was not invited. Everyone was laughing at him and laughing at him. How could this be okay?
For this reason, the third prince came to Ningshou Palace specifically and asked the fake empress dowager to help him release Concubine Shu.
Seeing the fake queen mother lying comfortably on the bed, the third prince's eyes were full of ferocity, "Grandmother, I wonder when you can help me?"
Faced with the murderous look of the Third Prince, the fake Queen Mother was shocked and couldn't react for a moment.
"What are you doing!"
The Third Prince sneered, "What can I do? Of course I just want to get some benefits for myself! Queen Mother, you won't refuse to give me this opportunity, right?"
The fake queen mother lazily lay on the bed, spread her hands, and rolled her eyes unhappily, "How can I help you in this state? Wait until I recover!"
The Prince of Huaiyang had already urged her to do things, and now the Third Prince was urging her too. The fake Queen Mother felt extremely pressured.
Compared with Prince Huainan, the fake Queen Mother had no confidence at all. After all, she was poisoned by Prince Huaiyang. She really didn't take the Third Prince seriously.
Until now, the Third Prince has never had the chance to meet Xiao Ruoyi, and has never heard anything about Prince Huaiyang's thoughts.
He also didn't know that the fake Queen Mother and Concubine Hui were now Prince Huaiyang's people, and they wanted to help Prince Huaiyang usurp the throne instead of helping him.
Saying that I will help him is just teasing him, and I will never make his wish come true.
The third prince was very dissatisfied when he heard the words of the fake queen mother.
The huge gap in his life recently has almost driven the third prince crazy.
Now, even a lowly eunuch could ignore him and give him a cold shoulder, making his life extremely difficult.
In order to avoid living like this, the third prince hurried to find the fake queen mother.
The Third Prince didn't care about the fake Queen Mother's situation at all, and angrily ordered, "What do you do to me? I want you to release my mother from the cold palace now!"
The fake queen mother looked at the third prince as if he were a fool.
Now, the fake queen mother is somewhat suspicious whether Concubine Shu is cheating on Emperor Donglin or whether the third prince has been replaced by someone else?
Emperor Donglin and Concubine Shu are not fools, so how could they give birth to a son who is so arrogant and stupid like the Third Prince?
"Your mother committed so many crimes, and it was your father who put her in jail himself. I can't make the decision!"
The Third Prince chuckled smugly, as if it was a matter of course, "You are the Queen Mother. Even if you are fake, others don't know. As the real Queen Mother, what's wrong with you issuing an imperial decree to release Mother?"
Yes, if the Queen Mother was real, she really had the power to issue an imperial decree to release a concubine.
But who made the current empress dowager a fake?
This was also something the Third Prince had figured out before coming here. Others didn't know that the Queen Mother was a fake, so he used this incident to arrange things for himself, such as the matter of Concubine Shu.
The fake empress dowager choked and didn't think about these things for the time being.
But she really didn't want to help this idiot!
"This matter..."
"All you have to do is open your mouth and give the order. You don't have to work too hard!"
"You..." The fake queen mother had no way to refuse to help the third prince anymore.
The Third Prince sneered at the fake Queen Mother and threatened fiercely with a ferocious face, "What? You don't agree? Do you want me to tell my father your identity?"
The fake queen mother was so angry that her face turned red and she gritted her teeth, "Okay!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, the Third Prince smiled with satisfaction and looked at the fake Queen Mother sarcastically, "Old woman, I told you a long time ago that you have to help me!"
"You!" The fake queen mother gasped for breath in anger, pointing at the third prince with trembling fingers but she was speechless and had already cursed the third prince to death in her heart.
The Third Prince laughed triumphantly, "Queen Mother, your decree must be issued today, otherwise this matter will be heard by my father tomorrow!"
"good!"
"You are indeed feeling unwell, Queen Mother. I won't bother you any further!"
The third prince smiled and waved his hand, then turned and left with a laugh.
As long as his mother comes out, he can ask her to help him with advice. Wouldn't it be easy for him to take the throne?
Listening to the Third Prince's laughter gradually fading away, the fake Queen Mother angrily slapped the bed, "Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
This matter was also reported to Emperor Donglin by the secret guards.
"The third brother is so stupid!" Emperor Donglin pressed his temple.
Not to mention the fake empress dowager, if it weren't for Xiao Ruoyi's reassurance, Emperor Donglin would have begun to suspect whether he was being cuckolded by Concubine Shu, or that someone had replaced him as the crown prince.
Wang Dehai and the secret guards lowered their heads and dared not speak.
It’s true, they and Emperor Donglin have the same idea. The Third Prince is so stupid and doesn’t look like the Emperor’s son at all!
The eldest prince and his men are obviously very smart!
Now he follows Xiao Ruoyi around every day, like a little bug.
They all felt it was too shameful to watch, it was such a disgrace to the royal family!
