Chapter 6 I only want the throne, not favor (6)
The fact that the Gao family wanted to discuss a marriage with the Chu family was no secret in the capital.
It was only because the emperor intervened that the marriage was resolved.
It was precisely because of Chu Wanqing's decision not to do so that Gao Yansheng joined the army. This was an unspoken secret among everyone.
If Chu Wanqing hadn't been forced to do so, she wouldn't have pulled Gao Yansheng out to block the wall.
"So what!?" Gao Min really stood up as if someone had stepped on her sore spot. She stroked her hands with golden nail covers and wanted to raise her hand to destroy Chu Wanqing's face.
"I think the emperor would not like to see that I have his things."
Chu Wanqing didn't care about Gao Min's behavior at all.
The more Gao Min hurt her, the more the emperor suspected that she would contact Gao Yansheng.
Gao Min gritted her teeth, then a smile spread across her face: "Since sister feels that Hua Shan is wrongly accused, I will naturally investigate thoroughly."
We can't lose our composure. Chu Wanqing wants to drag the Gao family into this.
She couldn't give Chu Wanqing this opportunity.
"You call this thing the heroine?" Cheng Shuhan complained in Chu Wanqing's heart.
How can she be called a heroine if she's still so unstable after living a new life? Is she really just relying on the heroine's halo to survive?
Your Majesty, you must know that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, but a pheasant cannot give birth to a golden phoenix.
No matter how much you whitewash it, she is still a concubine's daughter, and the education of a concubine's daughter is naturally different from that of a legitimate daughter.
Even if she is brought up according to the standards for a legitimate daughter, her biological mother, who comes from a small family, will not have as broad a character or vision as the mistress of the house.
The temperament is naturally different.
The biological mother’s education also plays a role.
"That's true." Cheng Shuhan had to admit that vision determines height.
It’s not that there aren’t ambitious people who were born as concubines or slaves, but they are a minority. Most of them will still follow their biological mothers.
Cheng Shuhan felt that Chu Wanqing was also in love.
If she wasn't Cheng Shuhan's mother, she might have just started an uprising herself.
Fortunately, Chu Wanqing can still be saved, otherwise Cheng Shuhan would be angry to death by her.
General Gao Yansheng admires her. If he doesn't protect such a good tool for getting to the top, what's the point of loyally protecting the stupid emperor?
[Your Majesty, were you so vulgar during your reign?]
"Little bitch, think more openly. Maybe... I was even more vulgar when I was in power than I am now?" After sleeping for so long, her quality has been improved by sleep!
[……] What we are saying is, with an emperor like this, is there no one left in the Dragon Clan?
"You know what, I'm the only purebred White Dragon." Cheng Shuhan understood 888's thoughts and answered it very considerately.
888 didn’t dare to think about Cheng Shuhan anymore.
It had always thought that Cheng Shuhan was also the Dragon Queen who had the halo of the heroine, and was confused by her brainless and vulgar behavior.
Forget about the hardware requirements for becoming an empress: one must have either brain power or physical strength.
The dragon clan itself has very high requirements for military strength. If you want to sit on the throne, you must defeat many competitors.
The fact that Cheng Shuhan could silently understand the thoughts of an intelligent system could only mean one thing: she was much more capable than she appeared.
888 no longer dares to look down on his host.
Feeling 888's awe, Cheng Shuhan crossed his legs and raised his eyebrows. The system is indeed more honest than humans.

Side Hall of Yumin Palace
Chu Wanqing, dressed in a warm white plain dress, sat on a chair. In front of her knelt a man with a swollen face and a painted fan. "It was my negligence that gave Gao Min the opportunity to take advantage of me."
"It's not your fault. Her intention is to find a lame excuse to get rid of you. No need to kneel. Stand up."
Chu Wanqing's fair hands kept twirling the teacup while she spoke, her brows filled with contemplation of the situation she would face next.
The emperor was not stupid. If she did this, he would understand her intentions in two days.
Dispel the doubts in your heart.
She needed to add more fuel to the fire, making the emperor think that his achievements were greater than his own and come up with lofty ideas.
Chu Wanqing touched her belly and sighed silently: "Hua Shan, Ao Mei in front of Concubine Yun must be very curious about whose child I am carrying."
Concubine Yun is Gao Yansheng's cousin from his mother's family.
She had a very good relationship with Gao Yansheng since childhood, especially when she knew that she favored the Eighth Prince, she became enemies with her.
She needed to let Concubine Yun know that she had no choice at the time. The royal family would never allow the Chu and Gao families to marry each other. She was also framed by the Eighth Prince and had to "favor" the Eighth Prince.
Concubine Yun was at odds with Gao Min and always felt that her aunt's death was the work of Gao Min's mother.
"My queen, you..." Huashan looked at her young lady with heartache.
Chu Wanqing patted her hand soothingly.
next day
Chu Wanqing was supported by Hua Shan and walked to the stone road in the imperial garden. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and kept coughing.
"Noble Concubine Gao is really cruel. She can't even accommodate what's in your belly. That's the general's..." Huashan deliberately lowered her voice when she got to the key point.
Chu Wanqing didn't say anything. She followed the painted fan to the pavilion and rested for a while before leaving.
Along the way, Hua Shan kept complaining about Concubine Gao and Gao Yansheng.
After Chu Wanqing left, two palace maids came out from under the pavilion.
The two looked at each other in surprise, as if neither of them had expected that the child in the deposed queen's belly was not the emperor's.
Soon, the news that the aborted child of the deposed Queen Chu was not the emperor spread like wildfire.
Concubine Yun was sitting in the palace reading the storybook that her brother had someone bring into the palace for her. While reading, she listened to Ao Mei telling her the gossip in the palace.
"What?" Upon hearing Chu Wanqing's gossip, Concubine Yun dropped the scroll in surprise. "You said, is it true that Chu Wanqing entered the palace imperfect?"
Aomei nodded and handed Concubine Yun a cup of tea: "Don't get excited, I also heard from those palace maids that the child of the deposed Queen Chu... seems to be from the Gao family."
This news was so shocking that no one dared to spread it privately and did not dare to bring it to the attention of the emperor or his ancestors.
Aomei had to ask many people before she knew the details.
Some people even heard Huashan complaining about Gao Yansheng's irresponsibility.
Concubine Yun drank tea to calm herself down.
"I also heard that the emperor did not allow the Gao and Chu families to marry. Even if the eighth prince had not framed Empress Chu, the marriage would not have been successful." Ao Mei lowered her voice and said to Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun was a little dazed. She had been dissatisfied with Chu Wanqing for so many years and had always made things difficult for her.
Unexpectedly, she was actually set up.
"Don't make this matter public." After being shocked, Yun Fei felt that she still needed to find someone to investigate.
Chu Wanqing, who was under investigation, was sitting in a side hall of Yumin Palace, drinking tea leisurely.
She just needs to take the painted fan out and say a few words, and someone will naturally help fill in the details.
When Concubine Yun heard the exaggerated rumors, she would definitely ask someone to investigate the affairs between her, Gao Yansheng, and the emperor.
As long as Concubine Yun investigates, the emperor will know.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will rebound and execute you directly?" Cuckolding the Emperor is a capital crime.
