Chapter 123 The Crisis Around the Queen



Xiao Shanjian had a numb look on his face. If he hadn't awakened the ability to listen to people's thoughts, he wouldn't have known that Le Tong was so hypocritical and had been deceived by her.

"Thank you, Tongtong. You are so kind to me."

Zhao Letong said with a smile: "Then remember to give me anything good you have. It's not easy for me to make money, and I spend a lot. We have such a good relationship, and I have helped you so much. You are a good child who knows how to repay kindness. You must remember to honor me, right?"

"Give me all your gold, silver, jewelry, and rare medicinal herbs. I'll help you spend them. You won't need them in the palace anyway."

Xiao Shanjian nodded: "I remember, when I ascend the throne in the future, I will give you everything in my private treasury."

【Good boy, you have a bright future. 】

Zhao Letong looked kind-hearted and was even more satisfied with Xiao Shanjian, but Xiao Shanjian felt depressed. Aren’t you also a child?

Have you forgotten your age after being an elder for a long time?

The two men had different thoughts. Xiao Shan saw that he had succeeded, and no longer felt sad about the separation. Instead, he was excited to make progress, to make money, to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and to earn endless money for Le Tong.

Emperor Xuande personally met with Zhao Letong, which was a rare treatment. Emperor Xuande was so busy, how could he meet a child in person?

The concubines instantly became more concerned and started asking about Zhao Letong. Zhao Letong became famous in the palace again.

Zhao Letong was busy decorating the bedroom for Emperor Xuande. This job was originally the job of the Supervisor, but he was lazy and didn't want to waste his energy, so he didn't do it.

In addition to the jade plaques and talismans, she also had to arrange the feng shui and place some flowers, plants and trees in appropriate positions. It was no small project. Dozens of eunuchs were under her command. The Ministry of Works also sent people. A few small ponds needed to be dug to raise some koi or something.

When the queen came over, she saw the unprecedented kindness of Emperor Xuande. He let Zhao Letong act as she pleased, as if she was his own daughter.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

"The Queen is here. Please stand up. No need to be polite."

The queen stood up and looked at Zhao Letong. Zhao Letong smiled sweetly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

After performing a formal ceremony, the Empress frowned and asked, "Why would the Emperor allow a child to do such a thing? The Palace of Heavenly Purity has been left in such a mess. If the Censor finds out, he'll probably impeach the Emperor for his massive construction projects."

Emperor Xuande's face darkened. "I just moved the courtyard a little, why is it called a massive construction project? Empress, please don't be alarmist. It will be done soon. You don't have to worry."

He did not put the blame on Zhao Letong. As the sage said, a gentleman does not speak of strange things. When the emperor himself engaged in feng shui, his ministers had something to impeach him.

The Queen was still dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, I am doing this for your own good."

"I know the Queen is working hard. Just take care of the harem. Please step back."

The queen gritted her teeth. The emperor refused to listen to her advice and glared at Zhao Letong in anger, as if she was a bad person. Zhao Letong was innocent and it was none of her business.

"Your Majesty, I see you look flushed. Did you have trouble sleeping last night? Are you feeling restless and having trouble falling asleep?"

Emperor Xuande still cared about the Empress, "Really? Empress, please sit down. Why didn't you tell me?"

The queen was touched. "It's just a small thing. Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."

Zhao Letong said seriously, "This is no small matter. The Queen is being attacked by evil spirits. If this continues, her health will collapse."

"Ah, it's so serious, how can I relieve it?"

Zhao Letong: "I need to check the Queen's bedroom. This kind of situation usually means there are things in the bedroom that shouldn't be there."

"Okay, I'll accompany you to see it."

Emperor Xuande personally held her in his arms and asked the empress to follow. The emperor didn't quite believe it, but it was not easy to disobey him, after all, the emperor also cared about her.

The Emperor and Empress arrived at Kunning Palace together. Zhao Letong entered and stared up at the sky. "Kunning Palace is supposed to be the seat of the Empress. It should be filled with pure energy and positive energy. But now it's filled with a lot of negative energy. This isn't good."

"Queen, has anything happened in your palace recently?"

"No, she's just a little kid, what does she know?"

The emperor whispered, "Even the Supervisor has recognized her as his Junior Senior Sister. Don't look down on Le Tong. Even the Supervisor has to seek her advice. I'm only telling you this, don't let it spread."

The Queen's heart skipped a beat, but she still couldn't believe it: "Is it really that powerful?"

"Of course, Le Tong will help me decorate my bedroom, which will make me healthier. Queen, please don't listen to others' instigation. I am not a foolish or incompetent ruler."

The Queen felt guilty, "How did the Emperor know that I was instigated by someone?"

It was that bitch Concubine Yu who came to complain early in the morning and even teamed up with several concubines. The empress was furious at what they said and came to persuade the emperor angrily.

Fortunately, they were a young couple, and no matter how much the emperor and empress quarreled, their feelings were very deep, and Emperor Xuande was not angry.

Zhao Letong said, "If you two have anything to say, talk about it later. Can we go in now?"

The emperor and empress blushed, making a fool of themselves in front of the children.

"Come in, you're the only one who dares to urge me like this. I'm holding you in my arms. How much do you eat, girl? You're really fat."

Zhao Letong said unhappily, "Your Majesty, you are not strong enough. My father never said I was fat when he held me in his arms. Instead, he said I was thin and ate too little. He could lift me with one hand. Your Majesty, if you were not the emperor, you would never find a wife if you spoke like that."

The queen laughed. This child really dared to speak the truth.

But the children's words and expressions have the happiness of an ordinary family, like a happy family of three, simple happiness.

Finally, they entered the queen's bedroom. Zhao Letong came down, put his hands behind his back and looked around. There was nothing wrong. Finally, he went to check the bedroom. The queen's bedroom was not luxurious, but low-key and restrained, more dignified and less warm.

Zhao Letong checked it over and his eyes fell on a camellia by the window.

The camellia blooms beautifully, with seven colors. Although it is not as rare as the eighteen bachelors, it is still very rare.

This is a new variety, called Seven-Color Neon, and it is very much loved by the Queen.

"Is there something wrong with this camellia?"

"There's nothing wrong with the flowers, the problem is the soil."

Thick black mist emanated from the soil. Zhao Letong waved his hand and several pieces of talisman paper fell down, surrounding the flowers.

The black fog gathered, unwilling to be bound, and wanted to break through the talisman formation. The camellia was severely impacted, the petals withered, the leaves fell, and in the blink of an eye only the dead branches were left.

"this……"

Emperor Xuande said, "Go and summon Song Lian."

This kind of thing can only be handled by the Imperial Observatory, which prevents the outside world from knowing Zhao Letong's abilities. Zhao Letong was moved by the emperor's sincere love and care. The people in the emperor's family are all pretty good.

"This soil is mixed with the ashes of those who died unjustly, and it constantly exudes resentment. If the Queen's body is constantly exposed to it, she will surely be bedridden within two years and die soon."

Emperor Xuande felt a chill run down his spine. "How could such a vicious method exist? I will not let the real culprit go."

The queen was also terrified. If she was gone, the prince and the crown prince would have no one to protect them. It was unknown who would gain power in the harem, and the prince's position would be in danger.
