After Emperor Hui left, the queen remained stiff for a long time until it gradually darkened.
After Nanny Liu lit the palace lanterns, she discovered that the Queen's figure was hidden in the darkness, and her lonely figure was heartbreaking.
She truly felt pity for this queen. As the queen's wet nurse, Madam Liu had been by her side for more than 30 years.
When she was still a young lady of the Shen family, General Shen didn't like her, and Madam Shen died early.
Gradually, she became less concerned about everything.
Until she met the emperor, she began to have light in her eyes and live a hopeful life.
After giving birth to the eldest prince, she valued this only son very much.
Now, the eldest prince has passed away, and it is a huge blow to her.
Nanny Liu walked up to the queen and held her hand, "Your Highness, you must take care of yourself. If His Highness knew, he would be heartbroken."
She had heard that people have souls after death. If the eldest prince saw the empress like this in heaven, he would definitely worry about her.
The queen moved her stiff body, tilted her head slightly, looked at Aunt Liu, and said with a sad tone, "Aunt Liu, what should I do?"
Yoona died, and her heart died with her.
Oh, God, how can you be so cruel? She only has this one son, and her husband doesn't love her, how is she going to live in the future?
It was the first time that Nanny Liu saw her so helpless. Even in the past, even if General Shen didn't care about her and the emperor treated her badly, she had never been like this.
When she heard that the eldest prince's body had not been sent back yet, the queen was extremely anxious.
Only if the dead can be laid to rest in peace will the Empress feel better.
Now that the eldest prince has died, the queen has no one to rely on for the rest of her life.
The palace is a place where the strong prey on the weak. What if someone bullies the empress?
“My lady, why don’t you go and ask General Shen for help? You are her daughter, and he will help you.”
The Queen had considered Liu Ma's suggestion.
When his son was around, he would look up to her, but now that Yoona is gone, she only has the identity of a queen.
As for Father Shen, she knew very well what kind of person he was, a profit-seeking, worthless person, and she didn't even want to look at him.
To her father, she is no longer useful to him. Will he help her?
But in this situation, he is the only one I can turn to.
The queen sighed silently and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."
Taking advantage of the night, the queen sneaked out of the palace.
At the Shen Mansion, Shen Kuo was in the study, reading the letter Mu Yang had written to him.
In recent times, he has been in frequent contact with Mu Yang.
Mu Yang said in the letter that there was a war between Cang'ao and Nanzhao. Cang'ao was defeated, but the eldest prince of Nanzhao was killed.
A few days ago, General Ling of Cang'ao Kingdom was arrested and thrown into jail by Nanzhao Kingdom.
When the news reached Cang'ao State, the emperor of Cang'ao was furious. You know, General Ling was not only a general, but also the brother of the queen of that country.
When the queen learned that her brother was captured by the enemy country, she cried to the emperor and insisted on rescuing her brother.
Now, Nanzhao and Cang'ao have a tough battle to fight.
By then, Emperor Hui will have a lot to do.
Emperor Hui would certainly send a large number of troops to the battlefield, and there would not be many guards in the palace to defend it.
They could take advantage of the opportunity to take down Emperor Hui, and at that time, the position of emperor would belong to Shen Kuo.
He only needed to give up a city to the Beiming Kingdom in exchange for the position of emperor, which was a very cost-effective deal.
For Mu Yang, as long as the queen is given to him at that time, he will be satisfied.
Seeing this, Shen Kuo was extremely excited, as if he would become the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom tomorrow.
He never thought that Shen Kuo would have that day. He had been looking forward to it for many years.
This matter still needs some planning to ensure that everything goes well.
I didn’t expect that Mu Yang was so infatuated and still obsessed with his daughter.
Shen Kuo couldn't help but sneer.
It usually takes an hour to get from the palace to the Shen Mansion, but today the Queen was in a hurry, so the carriage was very fast and arrived in half an hour.
After arriving at the Shen Mansion, the Queen walked towards the study with ease.
Seeing light coming out of the window, she guessed that Chen Kuo was busy in the study.
She knocked on the door, and after getting permission, she gently pushed it open.
Shen Kuo thought it was a servant coming and didn't even raise his head.
Then he looked up and saw his daughter staring at him.
He stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's the urgent matter that brought you here today?"
Seeing the queen coming over exhausted, and thinking of what Mu Yang had just said, that the eldest prince had been killed, he knew clearly what had happened.
He didn't show it on his face and threw the topic to the other party.
Since you've come to ask him for help, you have to adopt a begging attitude, even if you're his daughter.
Chen Kuo didn't greet her and was so ignorant of the rules, but the queen didn't care.
She felt that her father must have seen through her. After calming down, she raised her voice, "Dad, I came here today to ask you for something."
"Sit down." Shen Kuo asked her to sit down.
The servant brought her a cup of tea. After the queen took a sip, her anxious heart gradually calmed down.
She said what she wanted, "Yun'er's body has not been found yet. I interrogated Ling Yi, but he was too stubborn to tell me."
"You have a high reputation in the army. Can you please help me because Yuner is your grandson?"
The queen spoke very humbly, but Shen Kuo was unmoved.
After waiting for a while, he said, "I can promise you, but you know, I don't do business that loses money."
When the queen heard this, her nails dug into her flesh.
Although she knew Shen Kuo's character, she still felt very sad when she heard him say this in person.
Is there no father-daughter relationship between them? Doesn't he care about his grandson Yuna?
Is there only a transaction between them? The so-called family affection is nothing but a joke in his eyes.
The queen lowered her eyes, feeling very sad at heart, and tried her best not to let the tears flow out.
After waiting for a long time, she calmed down and looked straight ahead, making it impossible for anyone to tell what had happened to her.
"Daddy, please tell me, as long as your daughter can do it."
My daughter, don’t blame your father for being cruel. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being his daughter.
Daddy has only one wish, and that is to become the emperor above everyone else.
Shen Kuo smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, you are Daddy's good daughter, then Daddy will tell you directly."
"You should know that Daddy's wish has always been to take that position, and now we have the opportunity."
"There will be a big war next, and the palace will not be well guarded by then. You just need to give the emperor this medicine, and then his resistance will be less."
As he spoke, he took out a brown bottle from a box beside him and handed it to the queen.
"This..." The queen hesitated.
What would she do if Emperor Hui found out?
What's more, she didn't dare to commit regicide.
Shen Kuo saw the Queen's hesitation and knew that she was just daydreaming.
"Don't worry, this medicine won't kill him. It will just slowly make him demented."
"It is impossible for a demented person to continue to become an emperor." Shen Kuo smiled slyly.
