Chapter 597 Becoming the Emperor Directly
Su Hanchu spoke slowly after hearing this.
"No matter how precious the fake medicine is, it's not as precious as human life. Yueying was quite favored before, but now that Jun Moqi is gone, the Crown Prince's Consort will naturally deal with her. It's best for her to go with Jun Moqi now. Moreover, she has made great contributions this time. I can't just ignore her. After giving her the medicine, you will personally watch over there and bring her out."
In the palace.
Jingsi Palace.
Bizhu took out a letter and gave it to Hua Lingyi.
"My Lady, this was sent from the Hua family."
Hua Lingyi took the letter after hearing this. Although the Hua family was confiscated, their secret forces were still there and had been investigating the cause of Jun Moxu's death for the past six months.
Hua Lingyi looked at the words above, hatred gradually appeared in her eyes, and then gradually became more intense.
"What a Jun Moye! I really underestimated him. And Jun Moyong, he usually seems to be respectful to the Crown Prince, but I didn't expect that he has already harbored the ambition to seize the throne and is colluding with Jun Moye."
Seeing Hua Lingyi's angry face, Bizhu spoke quickly.
"My Lady, calm down. What kind of news is it that makes you so angry?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Lingyi's eyes turned cold as she slowly sat down.
"I'm not angry. How could I be angry? I finally found out the information. As long as I can determine who the enemy is, I will have hope of avenging Xu'er."
"Bring me some nice clothes and help me dress up. I'm going to see Consort Shu."
Zhongcui Palace.
Concubine Shu is enjoying the flowers.
Jixiang was by his side.
"Your Majesty, recently His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu has been increasingly favored by the Emperor. Word has spread throughout the palace. The Emperor even had His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu lead soldiers in training at the camp outside the capital, bestowing upon him the title of Third Rank General of the Fujun Army. Meanwhile, the Second Prince is only in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, a rather insignificant office."
When Concubine Shu heard this, her eyes were full of smiles.
"You are such a sweet talker, girl. Prince Wu has loved martial arts since he was young. He works harder than anyone else during training. His riding and archery skills are also the best among all the princes. It is only a matter of time before he is valued by the emperor. What is there to be proud of? In the future, he will be valued even more by the emperor and have a better future."
He said there was nothing to be proud of, but his words were full of pride.
Jixiang smiled and continued.
"Your Majesty is talking about you now being a Noble Consort, and in the future you will be a Royal Consort or even the Phoenix throne. Your Majesty the King of Martial Arts will also have a bright future."
A little maid came over quickly.
"My Lady, the talented Hua is here."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu spoke hurriedly.
"Why don't you invite my sister over? Jixiang, go and make my sister's favorite tea and serve her the cakes she likes."
Soon Hua Lingyi came over in a beautiful outfit.
Concubine Shu's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she hurried forward to support Hua Lingyi.
"Sister, you actually dressed up today. I told you it was time for you to dress up. After changing into this outfit, you still look as young and beautiful as before."
Upon hearing this, Hua Lingyi reached out and patted the back of her hand.
"I came here today because I have something important to discuss with you. Let's go back to your room and talk."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu nodded and took Hua Lingyi towards the bedroom.
Arrived at the outer room of the bedroom.
Jixiang had already brought hot tea and Hua Lingyi's favorite pastries.
Hua Lingyi gave the order.
"Jixiang and Bizhu were guarding the door."
The two maids naturally heard that their master had something important to discuss, so they bowed silently and retreated outside to guard.
Seeing Hua Lingyi speaking so cautiously and curiously, Concubine Shu Guifei
"Sister, what are you trying to tell me? You actually want the maids to guard you. But what's so important?"
Hua Lingyi spoke upon hearing this.
"Sister, we have been friends for so many years, and in the past six months, we have become closer than sisters. I want to ask you today, do you want to be the Queen Mother?"
Concubine Shu looked surprised when she heard this.
"The Queen Mother?"
"Sister, I'm still just a concubine now. The families of Concubine De and Concubine Mei are both better than mine. As for the position of Empress Dowager..."
As expected, this Concubine Shu's mind was always stuck. Hua Lingyi looked into her eyes and continued to ask questions.
"Just tell me the truth, do you want to or not?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu spoke hurriedly.
"Of course I do. Who wouldn't want to be the most noble woman in the world? But sister, although Prince Wu has gained face in front of the emperor now, the emperor has entrusted many important matters to Jun Moyong, and he often goes to Concubine De's place. Although I heard that most of the people who sleep with him are Concubine An..."
Hua Lingyi spoke slowly after hearing this.
"Who says you have to be crown prince before you can become emperor?"
Concubine Shu only felt that she became more confused after listening today.
"Sister, what do you mean?"
Hua Lingyi reached out, took her hand and patted it.
"You, you have to have a son like Prince Wu. As his mother, shouldn't you make plans for him? Look at Concubine De. She paved the way for Prince Yao one step at a time. She even used Concubine An to frame me and pull me down from the position of Queen so that you could take a step forward in the throne for Prince Yao."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu looked guilty.
"Sister, I also want to help King Wu, but the emperor rarely comes to my place. I'm a bit old, my face is fading, and I don't know those tricks to win favor..."
After hearing this, Hua Lingyi didn't show any blame on her face, but spoke earnestly.
"The bond between us is even deeper than that between sisters. I no longer have Xu'er, and I've watched King Wu grow up. Don't be suspicious, but in my heart, I love King Wu like my own son. As a mother, I always want to plan for my child."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu's face showed joy.
"Sister, I have always been foolish. If I had you to make plans for King Wu, I would have felt relieved. Sister, what should I do now? Just tell me directly."
Hua Lingyi sighed and spoke after hearing this.
“Although the Emperor allowed Prince Wu to enter the camp outside the capital and gave him a position, which means he has a small amount of military power, Concubine De and her son have won over many forces both in the court and the harem. Now, half of the people in the court obey their opinions, and even Prince Jing has attached himself to Prince Yao.
I've heard that the Emperor hasn't been feeling well lately, and he's been submitting memorials much less frequently than before. Often, Prince Yao has to review them on his behalf. If this continues, I'm afraid the crown prince and empress positions will fall into the hands of Consort De and her son."
Concubine Shu's eyes were filled with anxiety when she heard this.
"That bitch Liang Xihuan is always scheming and plotting, and she loves using those unorthodox techniques to seduce the emperor. I'm afraid this Prince Yao is no less powerful in the court. I wonder what benefits he has promised to those ministers. Otherwise, why would so many people support him?"
Hua Lingyi felt helpless when she heard Concubine Shu's scolding words. Well, these things really were something she could only worry about by herself.
"In my eyes, our King Wu is the best. Sister, King Wu is devoted to training the soldiers in the suburbs of Beijing, and as his mother, we should help him."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu spoke with a somewhat anxious look on her face.
"So, sister, what should we do?"
Hua Lingyi looked at her face and spoke.
"Why don't we just let King Wu become the emperor? As long as King Wu becomes the emperor, you will be the rightful empress dowager. Then you can punish Noble Consort De and Noble Consort Mei however you want."
