Although the Minister of Rites was relatively popular in official circles, no matter how popular he was, there were still people who did not get along with him.
When people heard that Chen Zhaoyi had a miscarriage, they immediately started reporting her without saying a word.
Shen Zhiyi, who had been in a trance, soon noticed it.
[Eh? I remember that the official from the Ministry of Rites was in a hurry to pee, so why did he pee in front of the old emperor?]
Shen Zhiyi smirked.
[Is he going to use the old emperor's toilet? Unfortunately, the old emperor's toilet cannot produce colorful butterflies like the emperor's grandson.]
Thinking of the story of the emperor's grandson falling into the toilet, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
At this moment, the Minister of Rites felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The Ministry of Rites had two vice ministers, one on the left and the other on the right, and Vice Minister Chen was the left vice minister of the Ministry of Rites.
As for the Deputy Minister of Rites, he often followed the Right Vice Minister of Rites and was very attentive.
The two assistant ministers of the Ministry of Rites were notoriously at odds with each other.
So it goes without saying what the Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Rites was doing when he went to the old emperor.
[Hey, this official is here to tell tales. ]
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites: As expected!
He was nervous, and his body uncontrollably leaned towards Shen Zhiyi's direction.
[The old emperor glanced at the official.]
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites: And then?
[Ah, the old emperor actually scratched his butt secretly, hahahaha. ]
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites: Take a deep breath...
【ah! 】
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites perked up.
[Poor Zhang Sheren, his pen is about to catch fire.]
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites spat out a mouthful of blood and wished it would splatter three feet on the spot.
Shen Zhiyi!
Can you please look at something serious?
As if she had heard the call from Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites, Shen Zhiyi raised her noble eyes and focused on the conversation between the Minister of Rites and the old emperor.
[This official is quite something. You are a high-ranking official outside the palace, but you know the situation in the harem. It's okay if you know it, but Chen Zhaoyi and you are not related at all. It's okay if you are not related at all, but how stupid must you be to think that the old emperor is as stupid as him.]
Minister Chen's eyes lit up.
yes!
Although His Majesty knew why the Deputy Minister of Rites knew this matter, he did not make it public.
Having an affair with a concubine in the harem is a serious crime, and it can be used as an excuse.
Thinking of this, Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites straightened his back.
Humph, even if he falls, he will still dig out a piece of flesh from the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
He is not as capable as him and is always thinking of crooked ways.
[Roar!]
[I knew it, the old emperor would definitely scold this Rites Minister to death, hahahaha, oops, why wasn't I there? Look at the confused look on the Rites Minister's face.]
The Deputy Minister of Rites was indeed very confused.
What does your Majesty mean?
Shen Zhiyi is in the Ministry of Rites now. How does he know this news? The emperor knows it very well.
Why do you still want to question him?
The Deputy Minister of Rites was just about to tell the truth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt like something hit his throat hard.
He subconsciously looked down and saw a small stone.
Who is so brave? The old emperor is sitting right there.
The Deputy Minister of Rites continued to speak, thinking that the man would not dare to do it again.
Who would have thought that before he could utter a word, he was hit in the throat again.
[What is this Rites official doing? He quacks like a duck and can't even utter a word. ]
When Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites heard this, he knew that the old emperor was going to continue to conceal the fact that everyone could hear Shen Zhiyi's thoughts.
In this case, he can take this as an opportunity.
[Roar, the old emperor scolded the Minister of Rites and went to look for Chen Zhaoyi.]
Shen Zhiyi licked his lips, somewhat curious about how the old emperor handled this matter.
Logically speaking, Chen Zhaoyi should have been beheaded, her property confiscated, and her entire clan executed.
But the old emperor only asked Chen Zhaoyi to work in the laundry department. If she hadn't been pregnant with Prince Xian's child, there was no way she would have gotten out of there.
You know, many palace maids die in the laundry department every year.
Shen Zhiyi watched the old emperor all the way to see Chen Zhaoyi.
At this moment, Chen Zhaoyi no longer had the toughness she once had.
[Eh? Holy crap, can you play like this? ]
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites was worried again.
He couldn’t help but move closer in Shen Zhiyi’s direction.
Shen Zhiyi seemed so shocked that he was dumbfounded.
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites: What’s going on, Shen Zhiyi? Tell me quickly.
The other officials of the Ministry of Rites were also like ants on hot pan.
[Too cool, too cool. 】
If it weren't for the fact that the occasion was inappropriate, Shen Zhiyi really wanted to applaud on the spot.
[This Chen Zhaoyi is indeed a "new era" woman. As soon as she miscarried, she immediately found a way to get pregnant again. It's really 6666. ]
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites felt like his jaw was about to drop to the ground and he couldn't pick it up.
Is his daughter so capable?
How come he, as a father, doesn't know?
Wait, is the child she is carrying royal?
If not, then the whole family would definitely be killed this time.
On the other side, the old emperor’s first reaction was that he was cheated on again.
But on second thought, Chen Zhaoyi is no longer his concubine, so from this perspective, he is not being cheated on.
When he came, he brought the imperial physician with him, but he didn't expect that the person he felt when he took Chen Zhaoyi's pulse was actually pregnant for a month.
This means that Chen Zhaoyi's child was probably lost in the laundry department, or when she first came to the cold palace.
So whose child is this now?
The old emperor regretted sending Shen Zhiyi to the Ministry of Rites.
However, at this moment, Shen Zhiyi is also looking for who the father of the child is.
[After my careful analysis, the child's birth month is one month. From this point of view, we only need to lock the monitoring time to the days when Chen Zhaoyi is in the cold palace. ]
[Hey, I found it, I finally found it. ]
Everyone in the Ministry of Rites was shocked at the same time, and no one cared about the work in their hands.
Who is it? Who is the father of the child?
First of all, the idle king must be ruled out.
After all, he is in solitary confinement.
[I didn't expect that the child's father was actually the Prince of Xian. ]
Everyone: ???!!!!
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
The news soon reached the Dragon Scale Guards, who then passed it on to the old emperor.
The old emperor's eyes went dark.
The child’s father can be anyone except Prince Xian.
Xian Wang’s biological father was his savior and also his good brother who had worn the same open-crotch pants with him since childhood.
Because of this relationship, the old emperor did not dare to be too harsh in the matter of Chen Zhaoyi.
Because Prince Xian really likes her very much.
But...
The old emperor said to the Dragon Scale Guards, "The Prince of Xian is in solitary confinement, but he can still have a baby. You are all just eating for nothing!"
Yes, so how did Prince Xian come to the cold palace in the harem quietly and have another baby with Chen Zhaoyi?
