"What's the use of your uncle? He is most afraid of being targeted by His Majesty, and he just wants to keep his tail between his legs," Zhao snorted coldly. While taking a sip of tea, she continued to sneer, "He is already old. He has seen all kinds of storms, but at this time, he is so cowardly. It's really ridiculous."
Why was Zhao angry with Zhao Changrong?
Because Zhao Shi knew that His Majesty was going to promote Concubine Hui to Concubine Hui, and the ceremony was held on the same day as hers, she was furious. On the same day, she sent her confidant to tell Right Prime Minister Zhao Changrong to bring up the matter in the court so that His Majesty would know the seriousness of the matter. She wanted Zhao Shi to give up the idea. But Zhao Changrong not only did not intervene in the matter, but also asked Zhao Shi to be obedient and not to cause trouble. Zhao Shi was naturally furious. On the one hand, she complained that her brother was unwilling to help her. But on the other hand, she had been holding back and did not dare to cause trouble, but today in front of her son. She couldn't help but complain.
"Mother, please don't wrongly accuse uncle. Uncle has been very busy lately, and has been helping his son," Zhong Mingzheng said hurriedly. "If this matter is handled well, mother will naturally not care whether that bitch is a concubine or a concubine, or whether the baby in her belly is a boy or a girl."
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" Upon hearing this, Zhao looked at Zhong Mingzheng with shining eyes.
"Mother, you have been in the palace for nearly 30 years. Do you know what father hates the most?" Zhong Mingzheng said with a smile. Without waiting for Zhao's answer, he continued, "The most taboo thing is to be concealed and deceived. So if father knew that he had been kept in the dark for many years by his bedmate and his own son, how angry would he be?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao was confused. "Who is the person beside you? Who is your biological son? Explain it clearly."
Zhong Mingzheng took a sip of tea and looked at Zhao: "Mother, my son told you before that Li Dai Tao Jiang rescued a Jinyiwei, do you remember?"
"I remember, I also heard about the Jiang family's Eight Tigers. His Majesty was furious with Dai Jingfeng. It was a cold day, and Dai Jingfeng almost broke his legs kneeling outside the imperial study. Then he had to take action when he returned," Zhao nodded, taking a sip of tea. "Then not long after, you came to tell me that you had rescued that damn Jinyiwei from Dai Jingfeng's hands without anyone noticing. What was his name, Jiang? Why are you suddenly talking about this again?"
"Mother, please don't underestimate that Jinyiwei named Jiang. He used to be Dai Jingfeng's right-hand man. Even such an important mission as sending the deposed crown prince to Ningguta fell on him. You can imagine what kind of status he has in Jinyiwei. I got a lot of secrets from him," Zhong Mingzheng said, pausing and smiling playfully, "Mother, guess how much effort Cui Youan and Shufei put in to let Prince Hui and Zou give birth to a little prince as soon as possible?"
When Zhao heard this, she immediately became interested. She propped her chin with her hand and said calmly, "Then tell me, what good things did they do behind your back?"
"The second prince has been weak since childhood, the weakest among our princes. After being married for many years, he still has no son or daughter. I think his body was damaged in the womb. I'm afraid he will never be able to give birth to a son in this life. But, the Concubine Shu refused to believe it." At this point, Zhong Mingzheng couldn't help but curl his lips in ridicule, and said to Zhao, "Mother, guess what? The Concubine Shu actually asked Cui Youan, a first-rank official, to help her find the rejuvenation pills outside."
"Rejuvenation Pills?" Zhao was startled, then frowned and said, "It's amazing that they could come up with such a despicable method."
"Yes, it is indeed despicable," Zhong Mingzheng nodded, and said calmly, "But if you can give birth to a son, what does it matter even if it is a little despicable? The only worry is that you will use all the despicable methods and still not be able to give birth."
Zhao took a sip of tea and pondered, "Prince Hui's health is indeed not good. When Concubine Shu was pregnant with him, she had a harder time than others. How many supplements did she take and how many medicines did she drink? But in the end, it didn't make it to full term. She gave birth to Prince Hui after only eight months. He was like a little kitten. He didn't even cry when he was born. The Queen Mother couldn't help sighing at the time, saying that she was afraid that the child would be ruined. It was also Concubine Shu's blessing that such a young child was saved. Even though he grew up drinking medicine, he didn't have any serious illness or disaster. Compared with you, he is more favored by the Emperor. If you hadn't given birth to a child first, I'm afraid that the position of prince would have fallen on him, and my position as the Imperial Noble Concubine would naturally be replaced by that bitch Concubine Shu."
