Concubine Wu pondered for a long time and nodded: "You are right, it is far better to be close to a talented young man than to be close to that monk."
After pondering for a while, he said: "However, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. You old slave only need to keep an eye on me, but you are not allowed to do unnecessary things!"
"Old slave, I understand!" Nanny Xu immediately lowered her head and replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the princess is here!" At this moment, someone called at the palace door. Concubine Wu glanced at Nanny Xu, and she immediately stepped aside.
Soon, a girl who had changed her clothes walked in quickly, with a relaxed smile and a wanton look on her body and face.
Concubine Wu looked at her lovingly as she walked up to her, and scolded her gently: "Are you walking in a hurry? Look, you're already sweating."
She took the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid and gently wiped Princess Xinping's sweat.
Princess Xinping said with a smile: "Concubine, I miss you!"
Handing the handkerchief to the palace maid again, she took Princess Xinping's hand and sat down at the table where the meal was placed.
"Do you miss your mother and concubine? Then stay with your mother and concubine honestly. Your father is so worried about you. You girl, please let your mother and concubine help your father to worry less."
"Talk about me again!" Princess Xinping curled her lips: "You are going to imitate the bad example of my father. He will talk about me when he sees me, and you are the same now, my concubine!"
"Your father is doing this for your own good!" Concubine Wu pinched her face and said helplessly.
Seeing that Princess Xinping lowered her head and said nothing, she could only shake her head: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's eat."
She didn't notice that Mr. An, one of the eunuchs in charge, was standing not far away, his eyes lowered to hide the emotions in his eyes.
At the door of the side hall of Pixiang Palace, a young eunuch was coming out. Since it was time to change shifts, others would not pay special attention to him.
The little eunuch walked until he was in a quiet place. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he trotted to the Queen's Yong'an Palace.
Completely different from Wu Fei's Pixiang Palace, Yong'an Palace is magnificent, but most of the palace is deserted, and a desolate atmosphere can be seen at a glance.
When we arrived at the back hall where the Queen was currently staying, there was a little warmth, but both the people inside and those serving outside were very quiet.
"Xiao Shunzi, why are you here?" Zhaoxia, the queen's female officer, was coming out. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Shunzi from Pixiang Palace coming over. She hurriedly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice.
"Sister Zhaoxia, ask my godfather to let me come!" Xiao Shunzi said.
"Princess Xinping met a young man named Su Ziji by chance today. Concubine Wu seemed a little tempted, and she didn't know which faction Su Ziji belonged to. My godfather thought this was weird, so he asked me to come over quickly. Okay. Let the Queen know."
"About Princess Xinping?" Zhaoxia breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not that someone wants to attack the Queen again, but she is just a princess, so what if she is favored again?
Thinking so, since Mr. An sent someone the news, Zhaoxia naturally went in to report it.
"Let him come in and answer." In the back hall, surrounded by the warm fragrance, an older woman who could still glimpse the beauty of her youth was reading a book with her eyes lowered. When she heard the report of the morning glow, she said lightly.
Xiao Shunzi came in quickly and knelt down to reply.
"Su Ziji, you said, that boy's name is Su Ziji?" The queen asked again as if she didn't hear clearly.
Xiao Shunzi replied below: "When I replied to my wife, that's what they said. The young master's name is Su Ziji."
"That's it." There was a hint of moisture in Feng's eyes unknowingly, and the queen quickly covered it up. Even Zhaoxia didn't know that her face suddenly turned a little pale.
Could it be that Princess Xinping lived a wanton life and was favored by the emperor, which reminded the queen of the sad events of the past?
Xiao Shunzi, who was kneeling below, had received great favor from the Queen in his family, and the same had been true of his godfather, Eunuch An. This matter was hidden, and no one noticed that they were actually the Queen's people.
Although he is young, he is able to get ahead in Pixiang Palace not only because of his godfather's blessing, but also because he has some abilities of his own.
Therefore, when the queen heard the young master's name, her face suddenly turned pale. She thought it was because the queen was not angry with the emperor for doting on the princess too much, so she boldly asked: "Mother, do you want me to go back and report to my godfather so that this matter can be stopped?"
"Then you..." The queen wanted to stop her, but then shook her head: "No, go back and tell Eunuch An, and just say you don't have to worry about this matter. Don't even pry about Su Ziji."
"...Yes." Xiao Shunzi's heart trembled, and he was keenly aware that there was something wrong here, so he hurriedly responded respectfully.
"Xiao Shunzi, go back quickly before anyone notices you."
"You all go down too, and Yu Han stays." After letting Xiao Shunzi leave, the queen asked Zhaoxia and several other maids to retreat, leaving only Yu Han, the eunuch of Yong'an Palace, in the palace.
"Ah Fu, Ah Fu, my Ah Fu..." After everyone had retreated, the Queen dared to show her emotions. She murmured this nickname, feeling her heart broken, and the pain dragged her whole body into the abyss.
The prince seemed to appear in front of her eyes. When she called her like this, she responded with a smile: "Mother!"
Her Ah Fu was such a filial child, but he ended up like this!
Although he was framed and there were personal and material evidence, a father really couldn't wait to find out the truth. Did he really not know that the prince might have been framed?
He was so eager to take Ah Fu's life, and he didn't even spare women and children. Even the three-year-old grandson was brutally killed.
Not necessarily, because I watched the prince grow up year by year and become famous, but he became ill, so I became jealous. Otherwise, how could an emperor who had suppressed his ministers and ruled for many years be blinded?
So what if you regret it afterwards, so what if you kill Zou Qiuyu, it’s just pretentious!
I really regret it. I should have killed all those people instead of not daring to send concubines with family support to the throne to prevent the crown prince's incident from happening again, so that I would always occupy the queen's throne.
There is no love here, it is clearly fear.
An emperor who was once a wise and mighty man was so frightened by an illness that year that he gathered alchemists in the dark to secretly refine the so-called elixir!
How ridiculous it is to want to live forever!
If he hadn't still had a sliver of reason, he had always been wary of the demon clan's approach to alchemists, and had not done anything publicly, it would have been possible to repeat the mistakes of the late Wei Dynasty.
The entire harem, that is to say, Concubine Wu was smarter and knew that one could not wade through troubled waters, and that cruel people were the most ruthless and heartless, so they were used by them, and even the bones and scum were left behind.
It's a pity that such a smart woman has an innocent daughter.
But the Emperor soon thought that no matter how naive she was, Princess Xinping was indeed favored as the old daughter of the current Emperor. Thinking of her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren who died tragically back then, the Queen felt palpitations and blood appeared on her face. After a while, she finally Slowly calm down.
"Your Majesty, no matter how sad you are, you should take care of your body." Yu Han was the only eunuch who knew some inside information. He was already in his fifties. He was a close aide who followed the Queen before she entered the palace. .
He sighed and advised: "You don't have to worry about the little emperor's grandson. The emperor will definitely not fulfill Concubine Wu's wishes."
Although the little emperor's grandson grew up among the people, the emperor already knows his identity. Even if it may never be revealed, the bloodline is real, and the emperor cannot allow the confusion of seniority.
