The Emperor's temperament has changed drastically recently, which has surprised and alarmed everyone.
No one in the palace knew what had caused such a dramatic change, and rumors spread like wildfire, causing widespread panic.
Lin Muheng's expression was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he was filled with worry.
As a prince, he knew all too well that his father's unpredictable temperament could lead to a series of serious consequences.
The harem is currently in complete chaos, with no order whatsoever.
If this situation were to spread to the previous dynasty, and the emperor continued to handle state affairs as he pleased, then the previous dynasty would inevitably fall into turmoil.
Jiang Chuwei took in Lin Muheng's worry and asked softly, "Have you also felt that everything has changed drastically since the Emperor woke up from his coma?"
Lin Muheng nodded heavily and said, "Indeed, Father's behavior these days is truly incomprehensible. In the past, he always doted on Consort Mei and never neglected her in the slightest. But now, he has abandoned her in the Cold Palace and completely disregarded her." At this point, Lin Muheng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, his face full of disbelief.
He did not sympathize with Consort Mei.
Consort Mei's trouble-making in the harem was entirely her own fault.
He just felt that the emperor's temperament had changed too much, and he didn't know what unexpected things the emperor might do next.
There were also some strange things.
Back then, whenever a beautiful woman entered the palace, even if he knew she might be a spy sent by an enemy country, Emperor Rongsheng would never let her go easily.
He often neglected his busy political affairs and spent his days indulging in pleasure with these women.
However, now, faced with more than a dozen beautiful women sent from Nanning, the emperor is able to turn a blind eye to them and leave them in the harem without any regard for them, which is truly beyond reason.
Moreover, Consort Jing, who had always been well-behaved and unassuming in the inner palace, suddenly gained the Emperor's favor for some unknown reason.
This surprised everyone, since Consort Jing had always been low-key and reserved, and never participated in palace intrigues.
But now, she is like a rising star, attracting the emperor's attention.
The reasons behind this are truly difficult to guess.
Lin Muheng stood there with a furrowed brow and a worried expression, looking extremely anxious.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuwei said softly, "In my opinion, Father Emperor doesn't seem to be as incompetent and tyrannical as before."
Upon hearing this, Lin Muheng was slightly taken aback, as if waking from a dream, and murmured to himself, "It seems that's indeed the case."
As he spoke, he slowly shifted his gaze to Jiang Chuwei, his eyes filled with doubt and inquiry.
Jiang Chuwei met his gaze, a bright smile blooming on her face, as warm as the spring sun, and then asked softly, "Isn't this a wonderful thing?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Muheng couldn't help but smile and nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a good thing. Since Father Emperor woke up, everything he has done has been much wiser and clearer than before."
He paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and added, "I just don't know why Father Emperor has changed so much."
At this moment, a sly glint flashed in Jiang Chuwei's eyes, and she lowered her voice mysteriously, saying, "In my guess, perhaps the Emperor, like me, foresaw what was about to happen in his dream, which is why his temperament has changed so drastically."
Lin Muheng was greatly surprised upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "What makes you say this, Madam? Do you have any evidence?"
Jiang Chuwei, however, was confident and answered calmly, "Since the Emperor woke up from his coma, his eyes have been full of pity when he looks at me; moreover, his attitude towards our General's Mansion is completely different from before."
"Now, the Emperor has not only begun to give more important positions to my second brother, but has also promoted my third brother. As for my father, he is even more favored by the Emperor and is summoned to the palace every few days to discuss state affairs."
"Several times, my father went to the palace full of suspicion, unable to figure out what the emperor was really planning."
Jiang Chuwei paused slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Muheng, and asked softly, "And you, my husband, I feel that Father Emperor seems to trust you more and more these days. I wonder if it's just my imagination?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Muheng fell into deep thought. After carefully recalling the matter, he slowly nodded and said, "What you say is absolutely right. My father has indeed been relying on me quite a bit lately."
When his father was in a coma, only he, as the emperor's son, was allowed to enter the imperial bedchamber.
In fact, Lin Muheng was not surprised that he could foresee what was about to happen.
After all, being in the palace, one is constantly surrounded by power struggles and open and covert battles. Without special means and information channels, how can one gain a foothold in this treacherous situation?
However, to his relief, the Emperor's fear of the General's Mansion has significantly decreased.
In this way, the General's Mansion is much safer, which is undoubtedly a great thing.
Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through Lin Muheng's mind. He frowned and said, "Judging from this situation, Father Emperor's decision to force Princess Nanning into Prince Jin's harem probably has a deeper meaning."
It should be known that Princess Nanning was a rare beauty in the world, whose beauty was said to be able to topple kingdoms.
Given Emperor Rongsheng's past temperament, how could he easily abandon such a beautiful woman?
What's more, in the end, he even bestowed her upon his own son, an act that was completely out of step with Emperor Rongsheng's usual style.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuwei frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Now that you mention it, I've also noticed that Father has indeed changed quite a bit lately. If things are really as we suspect, then what will Father do next?"
