"Your actions today may have made the emperor wary!
I am worried that the Emperor will target you after this."
"Madam, what I did today is what a father should do.
Even the most cowardly person will show some courage when his own child is harmed by the murderer.
Today is the day to show your love for your husband.
As long as the emperor's eyes are not blurry, he should be able to understand.
Even if it is true as Jiuer said, that Father is afraid of me because of my actions today, then let him be afraid."
Prince Kang held Ye Peizhu's shoulders and looked at her seriously.
"Madam, your husband has already promised that he will protect our family for the rest of his life!
No matter who it is, as long as they dare to hurt you, I will definitely protect you even if it costs my life!"
Ye Peizhu's eyebrows jumped and she covered Prince Kang's lips with her bare hands.
"Your Majesty, don't say that. My concubine and the children don't want you to risk your life.
No matter what, as long as our family is together, that's enough!"
Prince Kang nodded heavily and took his wife into his arms.
The couple spent some time together, and then King Kang called someone to give him some instructions.
Soon, a rumor began to spread in the capital.
Everyone witnessed Prince Kang dragging five men in black into the palace today.
Many people were curious about who in the palace dared to attack the prince's wife and children.
Now that the suspense is revealed, everyone is shocked.
It turned out to be the emperor's concubine Shufei!
As a concubine in the harem, Concubine Shu actually dared to harm the princes and grandchildren of the emperor!
Who gave her the courage? !
After the explanation by the "kind-hearted person", news of Concubine Shu's past deeds spread throughout the capital.
For example, Shufei was the queen's cousin. She relied on the queen's power in the harem to bully many concubines and even killed many people.
Those concubines who were harmed by Concubine Shu had ordinary family backgrounds, and no one could fight against her, so they all swallowed their grievances in the end.
For example, Concubine Shu once bribed the maidservant beside Concubine Gui to poison her, and even poisoned Prince Kang's one-month-old daughter.
Any one of Concubine Shu's actions could be punished.
But unfortunately, Concubine Shu was only sent to the cold palace once.
Even now, Concubine Shu is still imprisoned, and the emperor has not ordered her punishment.
The matter concerning Concubine Shu caused a great uproar in the capital.
The situation in the capital naturally also spread to the palace.
When the queen heard about this, she felt mixed emotions.
Over the years, Concubine Shu has been bullying others and showing off her power in the harem, and she has always stepped forward to clean up the mess for Concubine Shu.
She is really tired!
If she hadn't done some good deeds while cleaning up the mess, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on to the throne of queen.
Concubine Shu was so bold that she dared to assassinate Prince Kang's wife and children.
Doesn’t she know that Prince Kang is the emperor’s most beloved prince?
It depends on how the emperor will deal with Concubine Shu this time.
If Concubine Shu could be executed... that would really solve a big problem for her!
The queen's eyes brightened a little, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
But when she thought of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the smile in her eyes disappeared in just a few breaths.
Bilan, who was massaging the queen's legs and feet, seemed to have noticed the queen's displeasure and took the initiative to ask.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
A look of surprise flashed across the Queen's face. "Bilan, you really understand me. I am indeed worried about this.
Although Concubine Shu is my cousin, my mother loves her very much.
Her affairs have now become a hot topic in the capital, and the Prime Minister's Mansion must have heard about it as well.
I'm afraid my mother will come to the palace and tell me to save Concubine Shu at all costs and not let her be punished by the Emperor's order."
The queen closed her eyes and rubbed her temples tiredly.
"This is likely to happen. Not only will Mother come to the palace to tell me about this, she will also ask my brother to persuade me.
He would even ask his younger brother to plead for Concubine Shu to the emperor in his capacity as prime minister.
For my niece, Concubine Shu, there is more that I, your mother, can do.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been taking care of Concubine Shu for so many years.
I am really tired."
Bilan washed her hands and went behind the queen to massage her head.
"Your Majesty, what if you refuse? Could it be that because you were so obedient in the past, Madam is making things so difficult for you?"
The Queen smiled bitterly, "Bilan, you haven't served me for long, so you might not know that I have indeed rejected mother's request before.
But that time, my mother almost lost my position as queen and my brother's position as prime minister!
My mother covets wealth and glory, but she also knows the importance of this position to me and my younger brother.
She said that if the princess and her brother dared to refuse her or disobey her in the future, she would continue to make trouble.
At worst, our whole family can go back to our hometown to farm.
Bilan, do you think I dare to refuse?"
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so obedient to Concubine Shu over the years.
Bilan pursed her lips and said, "So that's how it is. You've really worked hard over the years, Madam.
It seems that this time, the old lady will use the same trick again."
The queen sighed, feeling extremely tired.
And as the Queen said, at this time in the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone had already heard about the affairs of Concubine Shu in the capital.
The Queen and the Prime Minister's mother, Jiang Fanghui, were making a huge noise, causing chaos in the Prime Minister's residence.
"Ning'er, you are the Prime Minister! You are second only to the Prime Minister and above everyone else!
If even you can't save your cousin, who else can? !
Don't say that your sister can be saved. I, your mother, will go to the palace to talk to your sister.
But you also have to plead with the emperor on behalf of your cousin!
With you two siblings pleading together, maybe the emperor won't punish Liu'er for your sake!
Ning'er, Liu'er is your cousin, you can't be so heartless! "
Jiang Fanghui was jumping up and down in the main room, his old face full of wrinkles and his eyes were full of calculation.
Besides her, there were Prime Minister Leng Zhuning and his wife Lu Jianan in the main hall.
There are also the Prime Minister’s uncle Jiang Dayong and his wife.
After Jiang Dayong looked at his sister and heard what she said, he also agreed and played the emotional card.
"Nephew, your uncle only has Liu'er as his daughter!
What should I do if you don’t help your cousin?
Is it possible that an old man like me is going to have to send off the young ones when I am old?!
Your mother is right, you are the Prime Minister! Your sister is the Empress, the master of the harem!
With you two helping your cousin to plead with the emperor, the emperor will definitely spare Liu'er's life for your sake!
Nephew, please help your uncle! Your uncle kneels down for you! "
Jiang Dayong played the emotional card and stood up as if to kneel down to Leng Zhuning.
