The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor coldly. At first, she thought that no matter what the Emperor said, she would not make any comments.
The emperor told the story of the Chu State spies.
The Queen Mother was no fool, she quickly figured it out.
Wang Decai was a spy of the State of Chu. It was he who instigated him and the King of Ruyang to attack the emperor again and again...
How to say it.
The Queen Mother felt numb.
She had some feelings for Wang Decai. After all, he had been with her for more than ten years. When she was isolated and helpless in the palace, it was Wang Decai who helped her...
Yes...
Are they all beneficial?
Could it be that Wang Decai has no true feelings for me at all?
The Queen Mother felt uncomfortable. The series of accidents in recent days had brought her to the brink of collapse.
now……
The Queen Mother was silent for a long time before she looked at the Emperor: "What do you want to do?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Queen Dowager, calm down. In fact, I don't want to do anything. After all, you are still my legal mother in name, and Prince Ruyang is my brother. I have promised my father that I will never kill any of my brothers."
The Queen Mother never realized that the Emperor could be so hypocritical.
She snorted coldly.
The emperor said: "So, I hope you can help me a little. Of course, I can give you a little reward, for example, let you meet with Prince Ruyang once a month?"
The Queen Mother was very angry at first, but she soon calmed down.
She hasn't seen King Ruyang for a long time.
I wonder how he is doing?
How is your life...
When she thought of her only son, the queen mother felt that all the intrigues and conspiracies were not as important as her son.
"What's the matter?"
The Queen Mother looked up and asked.
The emperor took a few steps closer and whispered something in her ear.
After a long while, the Queen Mother finally let out a breath.
She feels so tired.
I feel sad.
Why didn't she see it clearly earlier?
The emperor is indeed more capable than Prince Ruyang.
But thinking about it again, it seems that Prince Ruyang has never been able to compete with the emperor since he was a child.
It can't be compared anywhere else.
Prince Ruyang had told her this many, many times.
But she didn't care. She was bewitched, and her anger and jealousy clouded her mind. She stubbornly wanted to prove that her son was better than Concubine Chun's son.
What if I win the fight?
Concubine Chun is dead, the late emperor is dead, so even if she wins, what’s the point?
It's all her fault.
It was she who created the situation that Prince Ruyang is in today.
It's all her.
It was because she didn't know the person well and overestimated her own ability that she harmed her own son.
"Okay." The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said, "But you must keep your promise to me."
The emperor walked out of the Cining Palace.
늀 I stopped by Shu Taifei's next door.
It is euphemistically called Thank You Shu Taifei's Soup.
Here, An Jiu met Han Yun for the first time.
She had seen many eunuchs in the palace, of all kinds, but Han Yun surprised An Jiu.
Although he was wearing eunuch's clothes, his words and actions were not like those of a eunuch. Instead, he looked like a handsome young man from an aristocratic family.
Moreover, An Jiu guessed that he should be almost forty years old. His face looked to be in his early thirties at most. His skin was very white, his eyes were very standard almond-shaped eyes, his lips were slightly thin, and he was very handsome.
An Jiu couldn't help but look at it several times.
Han Yun noticed it, and he looked towards An Jiu with no expression on his face and no sadness or joy in his eyes, as if he didn't care about anything. But when his eyes fell on the emperor, they lingered for a moment, but he soon lowered his head.
An Jiu took another look and couldn't help but sigh.
Really handsome.
In later generations, that would be the ultimate dish for uncles.
No wonder Aunt Qu said that Han Yun was often bullied before.
Growing up like this and being in this cannibalistic harem might not be a good thing for him.
"Eunuch Han is here."
The emperor glanced at Han Yun.
Han Yu responded.
Concubine Shu smiled and asked, "Why is the emperor here?"
Then he invited people to have tea.
Han Yun lowered his head and followed Concubine Shu silently.
The emperor brought the silk sent by the Imperial Household Department to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu stroked the material and sighed, "The emperor has it, I like it very much."
After a few words of idle chatter, the emperor left.
Concubine Shu looked at the material on the table, turned to the nanny beside her and said, "Go and listen to why the queen came at this time."
Not long after Mammy left, she came back.
"My Lady Consort, your Majesty went to the Queen Mother before coming here."
"Empress Dowager..." Concubine Shu turned to look at Han Yun: "Does seeing the emperor remind you of the old friend?"
Han Yun looked at her: "What do you want to say?"
Concubine Shu exhaled, her smile still so kind and gentle: "Whenever I see the emperor, I will think of the deceased Concubine Chun."
Han Yun said, "The man is dead, what's the point of talking about this?"
Concubine Shu touched the smooth silk and smiled softly: "Yes, the beauty is dead, and the living people will continue to do what they are alive. What do you think, Han Yun?"
Han Yun: "I know, no need for you to remind me."
…
On the way back, An Jiu kept thinking about Han Yun, and heard the emperor ask, "Han Yun is good-looking, isn't he?"
An Jiu nodded: "Yes..."
She paused and looked up, and found that the emperor was looking at her with a smile.
[I am no better than a eunuch.] 】
[I didn't say anything about you even though you were flirting with the guards.] 】
【Now I am bewitched by an old eunuch. 】
An Jiu: "..."
Where did this come from? When did she start flirting with the guard?
What about the eunuchs?
She was obviously looking at him because she suspected Han Yun.
and……
An Jiu said: "Your Majesty, I still think there is something wrong with Han Yun."
The emperor looked at her, snorted coldly, and left.
An Jiu: "..."
She really thinks there is something wrong with Han Yun, and she is not trying to change the subject.
An Jiu quickly followed the emperor.
"Your Majesty, don't you think so?"
If the emperor didn't think so, then why did he come to Concubine Shu with such fanfare?
An Jiu thought about it carefully. Even if Qiao Dong did all the things that happened later, what about those years ago? At that time, no matter Qiao Dong, Han Yun, or Liu Chen, they were just small eunuchs in various palaces. Could they have framed Concubine Chun, killed Prince Jing's mother with a borrowed knife, and finally pushed the Queen Mother out?
An Jiu thinks not.
No matter how smart a person is, his ability is limited. The harem is so large, and even if the late emperor was a fool, he couldn't be fooled by a few servants.
In the end, he didn't find out anything, which showed that there was a very powerful person behind these eunuchs and palace maids.
This person is the real culprit behind the scenes.
Now, of the older generation, only the Queen Mother, Concubine Shu, Concubine Yu who was practicing in Baohua Mountain, and Prince Ming's mother were left.
The Queen Mother was a scapegoat. The Queen Mother of Prince Ming followed her son to his fiefdom to retire. She was out of reach. It couldn't be her. As for Concubine Yu, she was practicing, perhaps to avoid the world and put aside her relationship...
Well, the last person left, no matter how unlikely it is, could be the person behind the scenes.
Concubine Shu.
When did the emperor suspect her?
It was definitely not possible before, because Concubine Shu went to the imperial mausoleum, and it seemed that she was hiding from the world just like Concubine Yu and Prince Ming's mother. At that time, the Queen Mother rushed to the front, and everyone would suspect Concubine Shu. Now that the Queen Mother and Prince Ruyang have fallen, so... Concubine Shu can no longer sit still and can only return to the palace.
The reason you find is so far-fetched.
What's the point of missing the late emperor? The late emperor and her had no deep feelings at all.
Perhaps the emperor had doubted her since the moment she entered the palace.
After figuring this out, An Jiu couldn't help but look up. The emperor's round head seemed to emit a wise and intelligent light in the afterglow of the setting sun...
