Upon hearing that the little princess was coming, the palace maids and eunuchs had already retreated several feet away.
The emperor held Jun Baozhu in his arms and came to the throne.
Seeing the little guy's adorable face, the originally stiff corners of his lips unconsciously curled up.
"sit!"
Noticing that the queen was standing at the bottom, the emperor pointed to the side and said, "Queen, sit over here."
The queen was flattered but she remained calm.
He then checked the situation in the harem and reported to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, after you give the order, I will summon the eunuchs and palace maids for interrogation separately...
At first, 20 palace maids were found to have had affairs with Zhang Shi, but the data didn't match...
During the individual interrogations, they reported on each other and ten more people were investigated and punished, making a total of thirty people, no more, no less.
The other eunuchs are currently under investigation, and there are more than a dozen of them. The number of palace maids who had affairs is not that large."
The emperor clenched his fists. If he hadn't remembered that the princess was in his arms, he would have slammed them hard on the table.
[Huh? Zhang Shi was arrested? His lover was also found? ]
[Father, mother, you are amazing! How did you find out? ]
[But that's true. How can I hide what's going on in the palace from my father and mother? ]
The voices in Jun Baozhu's heart burst out one after another.
Thinking of what the system told her before going to bed, she muttered to herself:
[Fortunately, he was dealt with! Otherwise, it would have harmed the prince...]
When the queen heard this, she almost stood up!
But the emperor was present, so she bit her lip tightly and stared to listen to what was to come.
[Crown Prince? What does Zhang Shi plan to do to the Crown Prince? ]
The emperor frowned and took a deep breath.
[My father was hunting once, and the news came back that he was seriously injured and died...]
The queen was so shocked that she almost couldn't sit still...
Seriously injured and dying?!
But Jun Baozhu continued to say in her heart:
[Although it was dangerous, my father was actually fine. It was my second prince who blocked the arrow for my father and died of his injuries...]
[Zhang Shi and his ministers instigated the prince to stabilize the country and ascend the throne immediately...]
[Father returned, and from then on, I became suspicious of my brother, the Crown Prince...]
[This Zhang Shi is really a piece of shit! ]
Jun Baozhu cursed.
The emperor and the empress understood that in the future, the emperor would be in danger and almost assassinated during hunting...
The news came that he was seriously injured and died, and Zhang Shi and the ministers colluded to instigate the prince to ascend the throne first...
If you think about it more deeply, was the arrow that almost killed the emperor but ended up killing the second prince an accidental injury, or was it deliberately arranged by someone?
So even though they hadn't seen the emperor's "corpse", Minister Zhang Shihe still encouraged the prince to ascend the throne?
Are you worried that the situation may change and you want to seize the opportunity first?
Who were the ministers who took part in the agitation?
The emperor decided to find an opportunity to ask deliberately, or to summon ministers to his presence from time to time, maybe he could hear something from the princess's heart...
Assassination? Archery? The second prince, Zhang Shi, ascends the throne?
The news was so shocking that the queen felt her heart sinking.
Fortunately! Fortunately, His Majesty ordered that Zhang Shi and others be dealt with, otherwise...
The consequences are disastrous!
"Your Majesty, may I ask how to deal with the palace maids related to Zhang Shihe?"
The Queen looked serious and asked the Emperor for instructions.
The emperor's face darkened, "Don't leave any one alive!"
【Wow! Tyrant! 】
[My father is indeed a tyrant! ]
Study abroad is a big deal.
Jun Baozhu's thoughts were heard by the emperor and the empress, but their expressions remained unchanged and they pretended not to hear.
The emperor's heart was in turmoil. Was my little princess scared?
Is Baozhu scared because she heard that so many people were going to be killed?
The emperor thought about it and said to the queen again, "Don't leave any eunuchs alive! As for the palace maids...
All of them will be exiled to the nunnery in the east of the city and sent to be strictly guarded. They are not allowed to come out for the rest of their lives and are not allowed to have contact with outsiders!"
Since he has connections with the eunuchs, he must know a lot of secrets of the imperial palace. To be on the safe side, this is the only way.
When Jun Baozhu heard this, he thought to himself:
[Huh? Why did Father change his mind? ]
[Or is it that my father is just a person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and is not actually a tyrant? ]
Knowing the stakes, although the punishment of eunuchs and palace maids was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood...
But thinking about how the emperor was almost assassinated, how the second prince died of his injuries, and how the foundation of the country was almost in turmoil...
The queen felt that no matter how cruel she was, it would not be excessive.
However, what the little princess was thinking, "hard on the outside but soft on the inside", has anything to do with His Majesty?
