Concubine Li stared at Su Mi in Song Jinhe's arms with a smile.
[Gu Tai wants to keep Song Jinhe here to keep the money bag of the Song family for the emperor.]
[The emperor is also targeting the Song family. Well, I have to try the method that Gu Tai suggested. This will not only prevent the emperor from being suspicious, but also make Song Jinhe willing to follow me.]
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has grown up. He will go to the Northern Frontier to work in the near future. I feel so lonely here. I miss you——"
After hearing Concubine Li's thoughts, Su Mi's eyes suddenly widened. No way, Concubine Li and Gu Tai actually had this idea, to use the Emperor's hand to take her away and keep her by Concubine Li's side.
If she stayed in the palace, her mother would be worried and might stay. Then Gu Tai and Concubine Li could use her and her mother to fight for the Song family.
Even if my mother didn't stay and go into exile with my father and the others, Gu Tai could still control her and threaten the Song family to serve the Third Prince.
It's bad. It seems that her trip to the palace has put her in a dangerous situation.
Before Song Jinhe could open her mouth to object, Concubine Xi sneered and interrupted Concubine Li's words.
"If Sister Li Fei likes children, then just give birth to another one."
Concubine Li's face changed suddenly, and her gentle beauty almost collapsed.
[Xi Fei, please don't go too far. You caused me to lose my child, and I can no longer have children. I will definitely take revenge on you.]
"Sister Xifei, you are rubbing salt into my wounds. I knew that I couldn't have children, even though that happened many years ago. But in my dreams at midnight, I often wondered why Concubine Lu and I were always close, so why did she want to kill the baby in my belly? Or did she listen to others, or -"
[Xi Fei, you vicious woman, you poisoned me and caused my miscarriage. I knew I couldn't fight against you, the Prime Minister's Mansion. I had no choice but to follow Gu Tai's plan and summon the Imperial Physician Lu to treat me. Then I asked the Emperor to confiscate the Lu family on the grounds of murdering the heir to the throne.]
Humph, Concubine Xi looked at Concubine Li's expression and snorted in her heart.
[Don't you look at yourself? A lowly woman born in a Jiangnan opium house. You became a concubine because of your son. You know your status and keep your duty. You also colluded with the Grand Commandant Gu and wanted to compete with my son for the throne. Letting you die with a child is just a warning.]
Tsk tsk,
Su Mi watched the two concubines interacting with each other, calling each other sister, and a huge drama was going on in her heart.
"That incident was personally handled by General Gu. Well, sister Li Fei, you said this because you are not satisfied that the emperor only raided the Lu family but did not punish General Gu, the son-in-law of the Lu family. Or you are not satisfied——"
"Sister Xifei, you are joking. What happened in the past is over. I am just sad because a child recalled the past."
[Damn Concubine Xi, just like her father the Prime Minister, she is full of ulterior motives. She actually wants to pull Gu Tai off his throne. I couldn't beat her in the matter of the child back then, and now that many years have passed, I can't use the matter of the child to control her anymore.]
Concubine Li's thoughts raced through her mind in an instant.
"Sister Li Fei is kind-hearted. She keeps her suffering to herself and is afraid of causing trouble for others."
Concubine Xi changed the subject and said, "But sister Concubine Li is really overthinking. General Gu is the emperor's man. You really love the emperor by helping him like this."
[You are a lowly thing, don't think you can hide it well. There is nothing in this palace that I don't know.]
[You, with your few ounces of seductive stuff, dared to seduce General Gu. Look at your Third Prince, he looks like you, but his personality is exactly like General Gu. Like whoever raised him. The harem and the former dynasty cannot be too close, but Concubine Li, this fool, let the Third Prince and Gu Tai get so close. With the emperor's suspicious nature, sooner or later he will find out that General Gu, whom he trusts the most, has secretly allied with his prince. ]
"The emperor naturally loves his people. Sister, you have a father who loves you, but I am lonely. Raise this child in my palace so that I can have someone who loves me."
At this point, Concubine Li looked at Emperor Mingde delicately, "Your Majesty, I just love children. I don't intend to compete with Sister Xifei for one. It's just that Sister Xifei will take care of the six palaces in the future, so how can she have time to take care of a child. Besides, she is just a girl. I will just raise her in my palace like a flower. When Your Majesty is tired one day, she can come and have fun."
[This child must stay in the palace no matter what.]
[Ten days ago, the Imperial Master observed the stars at night and said that a strange star was about to fall, and the royal family was in danger. The strange star came from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I originally thought that this strange phenomenon was Su Zhenbei. But today the Imperial Master said that Master Guiyi was blind, and he only saw Madam Su once before he became blind. After Madam Su left, Master Guiyi went into seclusion to practice Zen and no longer saw outsiders.]
[If the alien in the Zhenguo Mansion is not Su Zhenbei, then is it the little girl in front of me? ]
【Gu Tai just reported that there were strange phenomena during the confiscation of the Zhenguo Mansion. Things in the Zhenguo Mansion were gone. Su Ergou said that the money and food from the Zhenguo Mansion were used to subsidize the Su family's military camp. The Su family army is the army of Da Qi, not the private army of the Zhenguo Mansion. What money and food did the Zhenguo Mansion use to support the army? This is evidence of treason. If it was not used to subsidize the military camp. Then why did it disappear out of thin air?】
[Gu Tai just said that the Prince of Yan has brought Song Jinhe and her daughter into the palace. He wants me to keep these two people. He can control the Su and Song families. Gu Tai also talked about the peculiarity of this little girl. Could it be that, as Gu Tai said, this little girl is the anomaly in the Zhenguo Mansion? ]
Oh my god,
I am so surprised.
Su Mi was listening to Concubine Xi and Concubine Li arguing.
Suddenly hearing the Emperor Mingde's inner voice, she was so scared that her heart almost jumped out.
Seeing the Prince of Yan getting up and about to leave, Su Mi was speechless. This guy, the Prince of Yan, had no brains at all. What he said to the emperor was unfounded. He believed that the emperor was not joking, and his brother would not lie to him. But he had no idea that this Emperor Mingde was extremely hypocritical and as perverted as Gu Tai. Tomorrow, my brother will be exiled, and I don't know how many waves of people will chase him along the way.
King of Yan?
But you brought mother and me into the palace, you can't leave alone and leave us here.
Prince Yan stopped beside Song Jinhe.
The emperor promised not to kill Zhenbei, and he was so happy that he got up and left, leaving the capital overnight according to his emperor's order.
Now, when he turned around and saw Song Jinhe and her daughter, especially the dark eyes of the little baby, King Yan suddenly became much more sober. He was just overwhelmed by Zhenbei's happiness.
If he couldn't bring Song Jinhe and her daughter back safely, Zhenbei would hate him for the rest of his life.
"Brother, all the property of the Prince of Yan's Mansion belongs to you. I pay 50% tax to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every year. I only ask that you allow me to take them away."
[Yan Shiba, who do you think you are? If I don't kill you, do you think I am thinking of brotherhood? I killed so many brothers and sisters, and only left you, not because of brotherhood, but because of the will of the late emperor. The late emperor ordered you to stay in your fiefdom and not to return to the capital without being summoned. You will never be an emperor in your life. You are the son of the princess of Northern Frontier, and I kept you to counter Northern Frontier. ]
