Soon, not long after the imperial guards left, the third prince came with the imperial decree to rescue Concubine Shu.
But when the Third Prince came to the cold palace, he did not see anyone related to Concubine Shu, no matter how hard he looked.
He wanted to find those who had guarded the cold palace, but they all seemed to have disappeared. He could not find their traces at all, as if they did not exist. This made the third prince very panicked and confused.
Under the instructions of Emperor Donglin, the Imperial Guards kept good evidence of the fake Queen Mother's actions, allowing the "stupid" Third Prince to guess that all this was done by the fake Queen Mother, and went to settle accounts with the fake Queen Mother.
On the other hand, in order to prevent Concubine Shu from causing trouble for her, Concubine Hui went to find Emperor Donglin.
However, Concubine Hui wanted to meet Emperor Donglin but never did, because Emperor Donglin was always in Princess Xiao Ruoyi's mansion.
No, it should be said that except for the morning court, he was always in the princess's mansion, and memorials were also sent to the princess's mansion, which did not give Concubine Hui any chance at all.
Concubine Hui wanted to find Emperor Donglin but couldn't find him, and she was so angry that she smashed everything in the palace.
For this reason, Concubine Hui went out of the palace to find Emperor Donglin at the Princess's Mansion, but was stopped outside the Princess's Mansion. Even if she wanted to force her way in, she couldn't.
Concubine Hui felt that she had lost all face and wanted to activate the love poison madly.
...
...
However, the love Gu was of no use at all, as Emperor Donglin did not appear in front of her at all.
In the end, Concubine Hui could only flee back to the palace in disgrace and look for other opportunities to find Emperor Donglin.
However, Concubine Hui still went back to Ningshou Palace to find the fake Queen Mother and angrily cursed, "Damn little bitch, she actually tricked the Emperor into living in her princess mansion all the time! What's so good about her princess mansion? How can it be better than the palace?"
"Who knows!" The fake queen mother sighed deeply.
Not to mention Emperor Donglin, even the Empress and Concubine Lou all lived in the Princess's Mansion, and so did the princes.
In order to live in the princess's mansion, they would rather get up early before dawn and run back and forth even if they had to attend the morning court or classes in the palace.
This is something they couldn't figure out. What kind of magic does the princess's mansion have that can attract them so much?
Of course, this is also because they are unwilling to believe those incredible rumors, such as that the princess's mansion is like spring all year round, and that one's physical illnesses can be cured a lot after entering the princess's mansion, and that living longer can even prolong one's life!
Otherwise, it would be understandable why Emperor Donglin and others would do this, and even the Queen and others did the same.
Now all the concubines in the harem want to get closer to Concubine Liang. They try their best to send good things to Xiao Ruoyi every day, hoping to have a chance to visit the princess's mansion. All their minds are focused on hugging Xiao Ruoyi's chubby legs, not Emperor Donglin.
At the same time, because Prince Huaiyang had already arrived in the imperial city, he could not enter the palace, so the fake queen mother and Concubine Hui could not meet.
But the news was still sent out by the fake queen mother and others, telling them the latest situation.
Seeing the message sent from the palace, Prince Huaiyang angrily slammed the table, "Even more damnable! How did Xiao Wenhai know that the Queen Mother was fake? He even dared to use this matter to threaten us to do things for him!"
"Oh, you are overestimating yourself!" Xiao Shengsheng sneered and reminded King Huaiyang with concern, "If Emperor Donglin had not been controlled by us, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"
If Emperor Donglin was controlled by the love Gu, even if the Third Prince knew that the Queen Mother was fake, it would be useless to threaten them with this matter.
Speaking of the love Gu, Prince Huaiyang's face darkened and he became even more angry. "Why hasn't the love Gu been used yet?"
Xiao Shengsheng shrugged her shoulders, "Concubine Hui said that Emperor Donglin has been in the princess's mansion all the time, and it's difficult for her to even see him. It seems that she can't activate the love Gu!"
Prince Huaiyang looked doubtful, "Is that really the case?"
"The master didn't say at the time that it had to be activated at close range!"
"We don't have much time to stay here! No matter what, this matter must be accelerated. Since Emperor Donglin has eaten the love Gu, he must obey our arrangements immediately!"
Prince Huaiyang is now in a state of great difficulty and feels that everything is going wrong.
All the people he had spent so many years deploying in the imperial city were destroyed. Now the Third Prince also knew that the Queen Mother was a fake. This matter would sooner or later reach the ears of Emperor Donglin.
Although he still has the real queen mother as a hostage, even if Emperor Donglin finds out, what does it matter? It can still restrain Emperor Donglin.
The love poison has no effect yet, and he can't even let Concubine Hui arrange things for him in the court. He has no chance to take action even if he wants to.
It can be said that his current situation is very bad, which is equivalent to starting from scratch. He only hopes that before leaving the imperial city, he can control Emperor Donglin and let him do things on his own. In this way, he will not have to return to his fiefdom and can continue to deploy his own people in the imperial city.
"Now Xiao Wenhai is threatening us with the Queen Mother's matter. How are you going to deal with him, Father?"
"Killing him is impossible! Even if he dies, the evidence will be sent to the authorities anyway!" Prince Huaiyang walked around the room with his hands behind his back. "Now is not the time to break up with him, but we can't let him do whatever he wants!"
This is the most troublesome thing!
Although the Third Prince is young, Concubine Shu is still alive, so she can still help him with advice. This is the method Concubine Shu suggested, and it also puts a lot of constraints on them.
Therefore, now they have to hold down the third prince first, they cannot fall out with him, and they have to use him!
"Is it a snake?"
"What else?" Prince Huaiyang sneered, "Even if Concubine Shu comes out, so what? No matter how smart they were, they still failed. As long as they want to get the throne, they have to listen to our arrangements! Send someone to warn Concubine Shu first!"
The throne is his!
Even if the Third Prince wanted to covet it, he could only become his stepping stone in the end, and would suffer the same fate as Emperor Donglin.
Xiao Shengsheng smiled and gave a thumbs up, praising, "Father, you are still the best!"
Prince Huaiyang smiled complacently.
The Third Prince was still unaware of the plans of Prince Huaiyang and his men, as he was frantically searching for the whereabouts of his mother, Concubine Shu.
Now that Emperor Donglin has left the palace, it is difficult for the Third Prince, whose movements are restricted, to see him, and there is no way for him to ask Emperor Donglin to help him find his mother.
Although he still has some ministers who rely on him, they are of little use now and can only do small things.
He couldn't even help him find his missing mother.
It was obvious that it was the fake Queen Mother's people who hid Concubine Shu, but they refused to admit it, which made the Third Prince very angry.
No matter how the Third Prince threatened or bribed the fake Queen Mother, she refused to admit it. He could only put the matter of the fake Queen Mother aside for the time being and try to find his mother.
For this purpose, he also asked the fake empress dowager to help search. If she was not found as soon as possible, he would provide some evidence to Emperor Donglin to make him suspicious.
