As for Concubine Shu, leave her to your mother to deal with.
After finishing this matter, Jun Zechen stepped into Kunning Palace to pay his respects to the Queen.
"Your son pays respects to your mother."
Jun Zechen bowed slightly, looking respectful.
"Greetings? The prince was so majestic when he left Kunning Palace holding his concubine that day. I thought he never cared about the health of his mother, the queen."
The queen said sarcastically, her face full of displeasure and a hint of anger.
"Mother, I was wrong that day. I was just concerned about the concubine's health and lost my temper in a moment of anxiety."
Jun Zechen quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake with a sincere attitude.
"Then why did the prince come here today?"
The queen raised her head slightly and asked with a cold expression.
"I suspect that Aokiji is Concubine Shu's man. Maybe I need your help to solve the problem."
Jun Zechen raised his head and looked at the queen.
When the Queen heard the word "Shufei", her brows suddenly frowned and her face became solemn.
"Shufei?"
"Yes, Qingzhi has more than one token from Concubine Shu. I suspect that Concubine Shu instructed Qingzhi to give the concubine contraceptive drugs in order to make me childless."
Jun Zechen calmly stated Concubine Shu's purpose.
The queen was furious and slammed the table beside her, making a loud "bang".
"She's bold!"
There was a sharp cold light in the queen's eyes.
Concubine Shu is really not giving up. Now that His Majesty's health is getting worse and he is no longer in the harem, she has lost favor, so she wants to make the Crown Prince heirless, so as to win over the court officials and support Prince Duan?
Don’t you even consider whether Prince Duan has the ability?
The queen became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. What she cared about the most was the prince's offspring, and this had always been a thorn in her side. An ordinary person of his age would probably have both a son and a daughter.
But he is a prince, but he has no children!
"Don't be angry, mother. Concubine Shu and Prince Duan are not important. Now the harem is under your control. You can deal with Concubine Shu."
Jun Zechen had a confident look on his face, his eyes were steady and resolute.
After all, he was reborn, and he remembered clearly who were the available people in the court and what would happen.
In addition, his father's health is getting worse and worse, so he is the one who handles most of the government affairs.
He had almost complete control over the court, except for a few stubborn aristocratic families.
However, it will be resolved sooner or later after he ascends the throne. Jun Zechen was just angry about Concubine Shu's behavior because she hurt Su Jingyao.
If Concubine Shu had not drugged her, perhaps she would have been pregnant with his child long ago, and why would her mother be unhappy? His eldest son would have been the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone would have been looking forward to his birth, no matter if it was his father, the queen mother, the ministers in the court, or the people of the world.
And she will be honored for it.
The Queen always felt a little dazed as she looked at the Crown Prince who seemed to be becoming more mature and resolute. From time to time, the Crown Prince's aura and majesty were even more powerful than that of Her Majesty when he was in his prime.
How come she remembered that her son wasn't like this a few months ago?
The Queen was somewhat suspicious, but did not show it. Perhaps it was because His Majesty's health had been deteriorating recently, and the Crown Prince had more experience in the court and was more mature in handling things.
"Well, my mother also believes in you, so I'll leave Shufei to her."
The queen nodded slightly, her expression relaxing a little.
Suddenly the subject changed.
"It's just that what's going on between you and the concubine?"
There was some dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"I worked so hard to organize the beauty pageant for you, and you personally selected seven beauties. Are you planning to keep them in the East Palace as decorations?"
The Queen's voice rose a few notches and her expression became serious.
"I have my own plans, so don't worry, mother."
Jun Zechen raised his head and didn't want to say more, but his tone was full of the meaning that he didn't want the queen to interfere.
If Jun Zechen had not been reborn, he would indeed listen to his mother more at this time, but after being the emperor for decades, almost no one could refute his thoughts, so his words seemed a little strong.
No one knows a son better than his mother. From what the Queen heard from the Crown Prince, she knew that he did not say that he would not favor other women. Does that mean he will still favor them in the future?
"The Crown Prince has been reluctant to favor other women. Is he waiting for the concubine to get pregnant with your eldest son?"
The queen looked at him suspiciously, as if her eyes could see through him.
Jun Zechen didn't say anything, but just pursed his lips slightly, as if he agreed.
"Nonsense! How can you guarantee that the concubine is pregnant with a son? Moreover, it is unknown when the concubine will be able to get pregnant. Now your father..."
The queen hesitated to speak, looking worried.
Although it was not stated explicitly, Jun Zechen understood that his mother felt that his father would not live long, and it was indeed the case.
"If you had a child before you took that position, the court officials would be more convinced."
The Queen spoke earnestly.
"Mother, I have my own control over the affairs of the court. Sooner or later, this world will belong to me. As for the women in the backyard, who I favor depends entirely on my mood and has nothing to do with others."
Jun Zechen still patiently expressed his attitude to his mother. In his previous life, he was able to ascend the throne when Ling Yue was the only one in the backyard of the Eastern Palace. Could it be that after living again, he has regressed?
"Mother, please don't punish the concubine again in the future."
The queen was stunned for a moment. Is this something her son could say?
"Go back to your East Palace, it's up to you."
The queen waved her hands helplessly, rubbed her temples, and looked tired.
