Chapter 532 The Queen Tries to Turn the Tide Again
Jun Moyong's eyes darkened slightly upon hearing this. He was well aware of the Queen's influence within the palace and her ability to protect the Crown Prince. Not only did the Queen come from a prominent family, she also had numerous supporters within the court. Her every move affected the dynamics of the court.
"My cousin, you are right. I have always admired the Queen's methods. After all, even my mother has suffered losses at the hands of the Queen many times. I wonder if my cousin and his wife have any better suggestions on this matter."
Su Hanchu listened quietly at the side. She was a very attentive person, involved in both government affairs and people's hearts, and was especially good at observing people's hearts. She said softly.
"Your Highness, this matter requires careful consideration. The Queen may be powerful, but she is not invulnerable. If we can find her weaknesses, or leverage other forces within the court to provide a check and balance, perhaps we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong spoke with a troubled look on his face.
"What my cousin said is absolutely right. However, the Empress has stood firm in the Central Palace for many years and is very skilled in managing the concubines in the harem. Her only weakness is probably my brother, the Crown Prince."
Su Hanchu pondered for a while after hearing this.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, Consort De has been a stable concubine in the palace for many years, which shows that she is capable of fighting the Queen. I think that in the court, it is your Highness, Second Prince, who is competing with the Crown Prince, but in the palace, it is better for you to ask Consort De to take action.
The emperor has been getting older these years, and it seems that no new princes and princesses have been born in the palace in recent years. At this time, if the emperor has a child in his old age, he will certainly be very happy, and even look forward to this unborn little prince more than you princes who have already grown up.
If this little prince, whom the Emperor had high hopes for, were to be killed by the Empress, her position in the Emperor's heart would surely decline."
Jun Moyong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He felt that this method was both safe and unlikely to attract attention. He nodded.
"This is a brilliant idea, cousin. I will mention this to my mother when I pay my respects to her tomorrow."
The three of them discussed for a long time, making careful plans for everything from the details of the case to the possible obstacles they might encounter and how to deal with the Queen's counterattack.
Until Caiyue came in.
"City Lord, Young Master, the Second Prince's meal is ready."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moye spoke to Jun Moyong.
"Alright, let's stop here. Eat first. Your health is the most important thing."
Jun Moyong nodded upon hearing this.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother."
Then Caiyue brought the kitchen staff to bring up the food. Jun Moyong had lunch before getting up to say goodbye. After all, he still had to meet the Dali Temple Minister.
Jun Moyong looked at Jun Moye and Su Hanchu deeply, his gratitude beyond words.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I will always remember your help today. When this matter is settled, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Jun Moye smiled indifferently, stood up and patted his shoulder.
"We're brothers, so why thank me? I just hope you can investigate this case smoothly and restore order to the court soon. That way, your cousin and I won't have to worry about many things anymore."
Jun Moyong was delighted when he heard this. If he could overthrow the prince and make Baise City surrender, it would be double happiness. Without the prince as a stumbling block, and his father valued him because of the Baise City incident, his future would be bright.
"Please rest assured, cousin. Under your guidance, Yong will definitely restore order to the court. Yong will go and get busy now."
Jun Moye nodded to him in appreciation after hearing this.
"Well, believe in your ability."
Only after knowing that Jun Moyong had left did the couple look at each other with a smile.
Jun Moye spoke.
"Next, the Tianyuan court is likely to be in turmoil."
Su Hanchu continued with a smile.
"This is inevitable. After all, once the crown prince is deposed, there will be no legitimate eldest son. All of these princes below will have the opportunity to compete. When the time comes, we can just sit back and watch the fight, and then give a push when the time is right."
Prince's Mansion.
Jun Moxu didn't expect that he was just released from house arrest, but was grounded again. He sat in the study in a depressed state, with despair in his eyes. Thinking that his illness had not made any progress so far, he felt that he could not see any hope at all.
Cang Hong walked in and bowed.
"Your Highness, Nanny Su is here."
When Jun Moxu heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes. Yes, he still had his mother. As long as his mother wanted to protect him, he would be able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince.
"Please invite Aunt Su in."
Nanny Su came in and bowed.
"This old servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Jun Moxu hurriedly raised his hand to support him.
"Madame Su, please stand up. But does the Queen Mother have anything to say to me?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Su nodded and spoke.
"Your Highness, the Empress asked me to tell you that she is aware of what happened in the court today. You should be at ease. To put it bluntly, this matter is just the Crown Prince's Mansion punishing a few women. Coupled with some bad rumors outside, it is temporarily disadvantageous to Your Highness."
"But strictly speaking, Your Highness, you are the crown prince of Tianyuan after all, and you have not committed any acts of treason. If the Hua family, the Qian family, and other ministers stand up to protect Your Highness, and you sincerely admit your mistakes to the emperor, it will not be difficult to release your house arrest."
When Jun Moxu heard this, there was still a hint of decadence on his face.
"Admit your mistake. I'm afraid that even if I admit my mistake, my father will still be angry. After all, my father was furious in the court today and confined me in front of all the civil and military officials. Moreover, my physical condition is probably one of his concerns."
Nanny Su continued speaking after hearing this.
"Your Highness, the Empress said that you should write a confession, the longer the better. As for your health, it's not surprising that the Emperor is concerned about it, but if it's used well, it can also make the Emperor feel sorry for you. The Empress is thinking of a solution for you in the palace. Your Highness, you must first cheer yourself up, otherwise the Empress will worry alone and I'm afraid she will be powerless to save the situation."
Jun Moxu was silent for a while after hearing this, and finally closed his eyes and spoke tiredly.
"Tell my mother that I understand and will do as you say. I will write a letter of apology and have it delivered to the palace in the next two days. Please take care of me."
At this time, Dali Temple.
The case of the prince's reputation has been solved, and Lord Zhou is looking at other cases.
But he heard his subordinates say that the second prince had arrived.
He hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
Seeing this, Jun Moyong stepped forward and personally helped Lord Zhou up.
"Master Zhou, please excuse me. I'm here today because my father has entrusted you and me with an important case. I came here specifically to inform you, Master Zhou."
