Eunuch Fuquan explained as he changed the old emperor's clothes.
The old emperor frowned, and suddenly felt that the matter of Concubine Shu was a little tricky.
If the matter of Concubine Shu had not reached the capital, then how he dealt with Concubine Shu would be his business.
It doesn't matter even if King Kang is dissatisfied with his treatment.
But once too many things were involved, he would be restricted in how to deal with Concubine Shu.
His handling of the matter must satisfy many people.
It’s strange, how did the news that Concubine Shu sent people to assassinate Prince Kang’s family spread to the capital?
The old emperor was puzzled and called An Yi out to ask him.
An Yi lowered his head and told the story of how King Kang entered the palace yesterday in a carriage towing five men in black on a small trailer.
"There were quite a few people watching at the time, and the palace's affairs might have been leaked afterwards. By last night, the matter of Concubine Shu had caused a sensation in the capital.
The Prime Minister's residence has been in turmoil because of this. After court this morning, the Prime Minister may come to you to plead for the Concubine Shu."
An Yi told what he knew.
The old emperor's expression turned bad. "Who leaked it?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was unable to find out."
The old emperor waved his hand and asked An Yi to leave first.
Whoever would benefit from leaking the secrets of Concubine Shu would be the one who leaked them.
But King Kang, does he really have this brain?
The old emperor expressed doubts.
After the court session, Prime Minister Leng Zhuning indeed went to see the old emperor.
The old emperor knew his intention and refused before he could speak.
"My dear, I know what you want to say, but the mistake that Concubine Shu has made is not just sending people to assassinate Prince Kang's family.
You should have seen it before you entered the palace this morning. There are many people in the capital waiting for my order to deal with Concubine Shu.
This time, I can no longer let Concubine Shu go for your sake."
The old emperor's words immediately blocked Leng Zhuning's words from coming out of his mouth.
"Yes, I understand."
Leng Zhuning breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he could report to his mother and uncle.
If they are dissatisfied, let them come and talk to the emperor themselves.
He is really tired.
At the same time, Kunning Palace.
Jiang Fanghui came to the palace to see the queen early in the morning.
She was careful last night and didn't tell Leng Zhuning that she was going to the palace to talk to the Queen about this matter.
Early this morning, she saw Leng Zhuning leave for court, and she scolded Lu Jiannan for a while, told her to go find Princess Kang later, and then quietly went into the palace.
As the queen's mother, it was relatively easy for her to enter the palace to visit the queen.
You can enter by identifying yourself to the guard at the gate.
When the queen woke up early this morning, she felt uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen.
When she heard Bilan's report, she knew her mother had arrived.
She knew immediately what was wrong.
The queen looked at her mother indifferently as she came in, looked around, and then sat down at the table.
"Come and pour me some water."
Jiang Fanghui greeted Bilan.
Bilan poured her some scented tea from a small pot.
Jiang Fanghui took a look and said, "Oh, it's still scented tea. It's really the Empress. What a wonderful day!"
The tone was so sarcastic that the queen felt uncomfortable.
She clenched her hands under her sleeves and pursed her lips.
When Jiang Fanghui finished drinking the scented tea and was about to talk about Concubine Shu.
The Queen spoke before she could.
"Mother, I know why you came to the palace. I have already pleaded with the Emperor on behalf of Concubine Shu.
But this time, it was Concubine Shu who was at fault first, and she was caught red-handed by Prince Kang. Moreover, this time, Prince Kang and Concubine Shu had new hatred and old grudges, which made it difficult to reconcile.
Mother, you also know that Prince Kang is the emperor's most beloved son, but the people Shufei wanted to assassinate were Princess Kang and his four sons.
Even King Kang's four sons were injured.
Forget about me pleading for mercy. Even if Ning'er and I pleaded with the Emperor together, it would be useless."
When the queen reached this point, she looked at her mother, who was frowning and looking unhappy, and continued.
"Mother, don't even think about making a scene. If you make the Emperor angry, not only will Ning'er and I lose our positions, I'm afraid even Concubine Shu's life will be in jeopardy."
Sure enough, as soon as the name of Concubine Shu was mentioned, the displeasure on Jiang Fanghui's old face faded a little, and turned into full of worry.
A hint of self-mockery flashed across the queen's eyes.
Look, this is her biological mother.
He treats his niece better than his own sons and daughters.
If you didn't know, you would think that Concubine Shu was her biological daughter.
“Yue’er, even though you said that, you still have to try.
Mother has asked your brother to go and plead with the Emperor. And that little bitch Lu Jiannan, she used to be a close friend of Princess Kang, and mother has also asked her to go and plead with Princess Kang.
Let's work together from different angles, maybe we can really save your cousin this time."
Jiang Fanghui spoke with great confidence, as if everything would be done according to her ideas.
The Queen did not puncture her wishful thinking, "The Emperor is about to leave the court, mother, you should leave first."
The Queen did not want her mother and the Emperor to meet.
Although she didn't know whether the emperor would come to her after leaving the court.
According to past experience, the emperor should have gone to the Beauty Palace to find the imperial concubine.
Jiang Fanghui's cloudy eyes rolled around, and it was obvious that she had no good ideas.
The queen's eyelids twitched, and she shouted, "Bilan, send the old lady out."
Bilan agreed and pretended to support Jiang Fanghui, but she dodged him.
"Yue'er, are you chasing mother away?"
Jiang Fanghui stared at him with her eyes rolled back in dissatisfaction.
The Queen said expressionlessly, "Mother, if you want to meet the Emperor, then you can stay.
Since you feel that my brother and I have not helped your beloved niece, then you should go and plead with the Emperor yourself!
Let's see if the Emperor will agree to your request!"
When Jiang Fanghui heard this, she had an idea and actually had this idea.
Maybe the emperor will really agree to her because she is the daughter of the queen and the son of the prime minister!
The queen saw what her mother was thinking and sneered silently.
"Of course, mother, you don't have to think that the emperor will agree to anything for my brother and me.
The emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, and I am nothing compared to them. Similarly, there are countless capable ministers in the court, and one less brother is not a small number.
But if you make the emperor angry, no one can save you.
Maybe our whole family can go to the underworld together."
The Queen's words made Jiang Fanghui hesitate again.
Just as she was hesitating, the eunuch's shrill voice came from the door, "The Emperor has arrived!"
The queen's eyebrows jumped and she cursed inwardly, saying that today was exactly what she said!
It was obvious that the emperor would never come to her palace after attending court!
What is going on today!
