Shuyu Palace.
Seeing Zhao Chenhan coming, Rong Fei was very happy and said proudly: "Zhao Lin has been imprisoned, how can you thank me?"
Zhao Chenhan said, "Going to jail doesn't mean he'll die. Only when he dies will that be enough."
Rong Fei was shocked: "He is the governor, even if he is a fake, but he is still the governor. The emperor can't kill him for such a small matter."
Zhao Chenhan said: "That's why I came to see you."
Rong Fei was very unhappy: "This is too difficult."
Zhao Chenhan said gently, "That's why we need you to step in because it's difficult. I won't feel at ease until Zhao Lin is dead."
Rong Fei asked curiously, "Why does Zhao Lin have to die?"
Zhao Chenhan sneered, "He made things difficult for me everywhere and almost killed me. Of course I'll kill him if I get the chance. His Majesty dotes on you so much, he'll definitely kill Zhao Lin if you mention it."
Concubine Rong was not very willing.
It’s not that easy to teach Zhao Lin a lesson, but it’s not that easy to kill him.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew the consequences of killing a governor.
"What are you afraid of? This world belongs to your Majesty. If your Majesty wants to kill someone, all he needs to do is say a word. The key is whether he wants to kill or not."
Seeing Rong Fei's hesitation, Zhao Chenhan lowered his voice and said, "There's something you don't know. His Majesty is in poor health and doesn't have much time left."
"What?"
Concubine Rong was shocked.
Zhao Chenhan quickly said, "Keep your voice down."
Rong Fei asked: "Is it true?"
Zhao Chenhan said, "Of course it's true. When His Majesty passes away, no matter who takes the throne, you concubines will not have a good ending."
Concubine Rong hesitated.
Zhao Chenhan’s meaning was very clear.
After Cheng**'s death, his concubines who were lucky enough could live a peaceful life, but those who were unlucky would have to live in the cold palace until they died.
Or it is possible that they were buried alive with the deceased.
Rong Fei gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I'll help you kill Zhao Lin, but you can't betray me."
Zhao Chenhan swore, "If I betray you, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"That's more like it." Rong Fei said.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhao Chenhan stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
"So anxious?" Rong Fei complained.
Zhao Chenhan said, "Everyone is vying for the position of Jiangbei Governor vacated by Zhao Lin. I have to go see if there is any chance."
"Okay, remember to take some time to see me." Rong Fei said.
…
The news of Zhao Chenhan's night meeting with Concubine Rong soon reached Cheng**'s ears.
Cheng** almost vomited blood.
"This adulterous couple! I will kill their entire clan!"
Zhu Zhongyan quickly advised, "Your Majesty, calm down. Zhao Chenhan only stayed for a short while, told Concubine Rong to encourage you to kill Zhao Lin, and then left. He didn't stay overnight."
Cheng ** said angrily: "Wouldn't it be better to arrest her maid and interrogate her and find out?"
Zhu Zhongyan smiled bitterly and said, "He's the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei. If we didn't catch him in bed, a confession alone wouldn't be enough."
Cheng ** was furious: "Zhao Jingzhou's son can seduce my woman?"
Zhu Zhongyan quickly said, "If you didn't catch them in bed, you can't say they were seducing each other. What if they were just using each other?"
Cheng** finally felt better: "You mean, although they were colluding, they didn't commit adultery?"
Zhu Zhongyan said, "At present, we only find that their attitude is relatively close, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. Otherwise, why would Concubine Rong help Zhao Chenhan?"
Cheng** took a deep breath and said, "Perhaps it is to win over the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."
Zhu Zhongyan said, "That's even more incredible. Lord Zhao commands an army of 200,000 men and holds a high position of power, making him the foremost among the military commanders. Now he's colluding with the concubines in the harem. What is he trying to do? Rebellion?"
Cheng**'s face suddenly turned ugly.
When it comes to governing a country, Cheng** is shit.
But when it comes to political sensitivity, Cheng** still has some.
Especially the most sensitive to this kind of thing.
Cheng** grabbed the teacup and slammed it to the ground. "You're right, that bastard Zhao Jingzhou is definitely going to rebel. Otherwise, why would he collude with my concubine? Is there anything you can't tell me?"
Zhu Zhongyan quickly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't let your anger get you in trouble."
Cheng ** said angrily: "Calm down? How can I calm down? These bastards are bullying me one by one. Do they really think I am easy to bully?"
Zhu Zhongyan quickly knelt down and said, "No one dares to deceive Your Majesty. This is all speculation, there is no evidence."
"What evidence do I need? What evidence do I need to do things? Go, bring a few people to capture that bitch Rong Fei. I want to ask her carefully where I have treated her badly. She filed a complaint and I arrested Zhao Lin. Now she wants to betray me." Cheng ** was furious.
Zhu Zhongyan had no choice but to persuade him earnestly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. We can't arrest you now."
Cheng ** grabbed the paperweight on the table and threw it at Zhu Zhongyan: "I am the emperor, and I can't even arrest a concubine?"
The paperweight hit Zhu Zhongyan's forehead, splashing blood. Zhu Zhongyan didn't even frown, but kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Jingzhou has an army of 200,000 and is close to the capital. We can't act rashly without evidence. If he has evil intentions, the consequences will be disastrous."
Cheng ** said angrily: "I still have to be afraid of a minister?"
Zhu Zhongyan quickly said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but if that happens, the country will be in turmoil, and it will disturb Your Majesty's birthday."
As the most favored eunuch, Zhu Zhongyan knew how to persuade Cheng **.
As expected, upon hearing that his birthday would be disturbed, Cheng**'s anger subsided a bit, and he said, "What do you think we should do?"
"Catch the thief and the stolen goods; catch the adulterer and the couple. If what Zhao Lin said is true, there will definitely be a day when Zhao Chenhan and Concubine Rong will be caught in bed together. Everything will be easy then." Zhu Zhongyan said.
Cheng ** was silent for a moment, then said, "What if there is no adultery, and Zhao Jingzhou is colluding with the harem to commit evil?"
