Chapter 591: Confirming the Crime of "Infidelity"
Gao Yurong gasped.
No wonder a few days ago, when Si Nanyan was about to be enthroned, she was still worried that Wu Wan would force her to find a way to stop the enthronement - although in her opinion, the enthronement would definitely take place.
After all, no one can stop the emperor from doing what he is determined to do.
But Wu Wan didn't.
It's just that something happened with Xia Yunting.
She was also wondering why Wu Wan just accepted her fate?
It turned out that she was just following Xia Yunting's plan and trying to trip up Si Nanyan again.
Wu Wan said, "That potion doesn't work immediately. It takes a while to show its effect. Calculating the date, it happens to be these two days of the enthronement."
Gao Yurong hurriedly asked, "Then—is her gongsha really gone?"
"Not really," Wu Wan said here, somewhat dejectedly, "It just disappears temporarily. After a while, it will slowly reappear."
"this--"
When Gao Yurong heard this, she frowned.
Wu Wan also gritted her teeth and said, "Originally, I thought that since Xia Yunting gave her that kind of medicine, if something really happened, it would be the best thing."
“…”
"Even if nothing happened, this medicine can make her uterine blood disappear."
“…”
"When the time comes, she will naturally be unable to defend herself."
“…”
"Anyway, I've already gotten the palace maid who drugged me out of the palace, so I can't be held responsible. At worst, if the matter gets out, it will all be put on Xia Yunting's head."
Gao Yurong nodded slightly.
This is indeed a brilliant idea.
Not only was she hiding behind Xia Yunting and not being easily discovered, but she was also striking the most critical juncture in a woman's survival in the palace.
No matter how much the emperor favors a concubine, he cannot tolerate her infidelity!
only--
Gao Yurong frowned and said, "But, Madam, if the effect of the medicine wears off and her uterine blood slowly appears, wouldn't that mean all our efforts will be wasted?"
Wu Wan gritted her teeth and said, "This is what I'm angry about right now."
“…”
"The Emperor went to Yikun Palace last night and left after less than an hour. It must be because of this matter."
“…”
"But, she was not reprimanded!"
“…”
"Shouldn't the emperor be furious and depose her?"
“…”
"Why didn't you say anything?"
Gao Yurong frowned even more tightly.
Although Wu Wan's plan was brilliant, completely hiding behind Xia Yunting, the problem now was that the emperor did not get furious and depose Si Nanyan as the imperial concubine.
If they could think of a way to make the crime of "infidelity" a reality.
Then Si Nanyan will never be able to turn over.
However, she had to be extremely careful in her actions now. After all, Si Nanyan was no longer the little palace maid or the inconspicuous female official of the Shangbao clan.
She is now a royal concubine!

In the harem, undercurrents surge.
There was also a tense atmosphere in the imperial study.
Zhu Feng sat at the desk with a serious look on his face.
The new policy was something they had envisioned long ago and was being implemented step by step and quietly.
In this way, the obstacles to the new policy can be minimized.
It will be much easier to deal with some things when we bring them up later.
But now that he has put everything on the agenda, it is clear that this will bring him many obstacles and troubles.
Even yesterday, when they returned to the imperial study, He Yi, who was always calm and composed, had a heavy face and for the first time said something that was almost disobedient to him -
"Your Majesty is too impulsive today!"
“…”
He had nothing to say.
After writing documents for the entire night, his eyes were completely red, but he had no desire to sleep at all, because the faint fire in his chest had not yet been extinguished.
It made him feel restless.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside.
Ye Zheng said to Jian Ruocheng, "The Emperor probably won't be attending court these past two days. Why are you still working so hard day and night, Master Jian?"
Jian Ruocheng seemed to chuckle.
"It is precisely because the emperor is not attending court that we, the ministers, must not slack off."
“…”
"Also, let the Emperor relax a little."
He said it lightly, but there was an imperceptible heaviness in his tone.
At this time, two people walked in and saw Zhu Feng sitting at the table.
Ye Zheng was stunned: "Your Majesty?"
Jian Ruocheng immediately frowned.
Ye Zheng immediately walked in: "Why is the emperor still here?"
After thinking about it, I felt that it was not right.
Last night, he clearly left the imperial study. They stayed up until midnight before leaving. They never expected that he would come back early in the morning.
Could it be that Si Nanyan——
Ye Zheng suddenly thought too much.
He immediately asked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Jian Ruocheng also immediately looked at Zhu Feng, but compared to Ye Zheng, he seemed much calmer. Although his brows were furrowed, he did not ask anything.
Zhu Feng's breath sank for a moment.
Then he said, "She's fine."
"Okay, then why are you here, Your Majesty?"
“…”
Zhu Feng's face darkened and he looked up at him: "Do I need to explain to you why I'm here?"
“…”
"Are you the emperor, or am I the emperor?"
Only then did Ye Zheng realize that he had been meddling in other people's business.
He hurriedly said, "I dare not."
Zhu Feng glared at him again, then turned to look at Jian Ruocheng, who was frowning slightly on the other side, and said, "Why is You Cheng here so early in the morning?"
Jian Ruocheng stepped forward and said, "Yesterday, the Emperor and I discussed a few things. I went back and thought about them overnight and drafted a few memorials."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng stretched out his hand, and Xiao Shunzi immediately stepped forward, took the letter and placed it in front of him.
As he watched, Jian Ruocheng said, "Since the Emperor has already announced his intention to fight against the Kingdom of Dan, the previously planned deployment of troops to Beiping must be expedited."
“…”
"Secondly, it is to strengthen the defenses of Beiping City."
“…”
"We must also begin preparations immediately for exchanges with the countries in the Western Regions."
“…”
"And then there's—" He was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhu Feng: "The big event I envisioned before."
Zhu Feng looked at him and felt a little relieved.
Also a little happy.
In just one night, Jian Ruocheng had immediately considered how to deal with all the problems and had already begun to prepare.
He nodded and said, "That big thing—let's talk about it again after some time has passed and the matter has died down."
“…”
"However, we can send people to Peking to start preparations."
"yes."
Jian Ruocheng thought for a moment and then said, "Well, regarding the construction project... the Emperor had previously favored Duke Cheng, but now—"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then said, "Duke Chengguo, no."
"That--"
"I will consider the specific candidate."
