The emperor threw the letter in his hand heavily on her body and angrily said, "Was it you who did what happened to the queen?"
Concubine Duan was shocked by the letter on the ground. She bent down and slowly picked up the letter on the ground, and said in an extremely calm tone: "Yes, I did do this."
The emperor was so angry that he trembled all over, pointed at her and said fiercely: "You are so brave, you even dare to kill the queen!"
Concubine Duan slowly turned around and poured him a cup of tea. She said with a calm face and a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, I am doing this all for you."
"For me?" The emperor's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
Concubine Duan slowly placed the tea beside his table, "Yes, when Mr. Lu knew about your plot to murder the late emperor, you thought it would be over as long as you killed the Lu family, but what about the queen? Have you ever thought about it? She has always known about this, and keeping her by your side will only make you dig your own grave. I know you can't bear to do it, so I sent someone to assassinate her without telling you."
"Your Majesty, I did all this for you."
"You...you!" The emperor was so angry that he threw his hand away, "Even so, you have to discuss it with me first!"
Concubine Duan walked up behind him, holding him and squeezing his shoulders, "You have always been soft-hearted. If I really come to discuss this with you, will you kill Lu Zhou?"
The emperor paused and did not reply. ?.?????.???
Princess Duan asked him: "Who gave you this letter?"
After the emperor was silent for a while, he said, "It's the third brother."
Concubine Duan said coldly: "Where did he get this letter?"
There was still anger in the emperor's eyes, "Your people were accidentally bumped into by him when they were in Qingzhou Mansion."
Concubine Duan was confused, "Why is he in Qingzhou Mansion?"
The emperor said slowly: "He must have heard that the queen was not dead, so he went there to look for her."
Concubine Duan frowned and her face was full of worry. Now that the Third Prince was watching, she would not be so easy to take action.
After thinking for a moment, she said: "Your Majesty, this is my fault. I will definitely discuss anything with you in the future."
The emperor sighed and said: "That's it. Don't interfere with the queen's affairs in the future. Now that the Lu family is finished, she is not a threat to us even if she knows something. Besides..."
Concubine Duan quickly asked: "Besides, what?"
The emperor looked into the distance, "Besides, I have been the emperor for most of my life, and I have to find a suitable person to inherit the throne."
Concubine Duan's face suddenly became a little ugly.
It's not that she hasn't thought about having a child, but unfortunately her health is not good and she has never been pregnant.
"Your Majesty, isn't there a prince in the harem now?" Princess Duan said in a soft voice.
The emperor frowned, "If those princes are not as timid as mice or uneducated, none of them can take on important responsibilities."
Concubine Duan frowned and said slowly: "I see, the Seventh Prince is not bad."
The emperor's brows furrowed even more, "Concubine, I won't bother you to worry about the affairs of my harem."
Concubine Duan quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor didn't blame her anymore and got up and left here.
Waiting for the emperor to leave.
Concubine Duan immediately called the palace maid, "Who else is favored in the palace now?"
The palace maid said slowly: "Two new concubines have arrived in the palace."
Concubine Duan said coldly: "No matter what method is used, the two of them must give birth to a prince! Even if they are not emperors."
The palace maid quickly saluted and said, "Yes, your Majesty."
After the palace maid left, Concubine Duan fell down on the couch, with a trace of hesitation in her eyes, and her face was obviously filled with fear.
After the emperor left Princess Duan's palace, he specially sent a few close guards to watch her every move, especially to prevent her from sending out any more assassins.
Late at night, the little eunuch in the emperor's palace secretly conveyed the emperor's instructions to the third prince.
After hearing this, the third prince's heart dropped. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the emperor and Princess Duan, he decided to stay in the capital for a while and take care of Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng's business in the capital was booming, and the Zhoujia Xiang Shop opened from one store to three stores.
General Han's daughter often runs towards him. On the surface she wants to help Zhou Feng do business, but in fact she just wants to watch him in the shop.
Zhou Feng is a dull man and has never noticed anything strange about Miss Han.
It wasn't until Mr. Qiu's youngest son came to his shop that he noticed something different.
Mr. Qiu has always wanted to get married to the Han family, so he wanted his youngest son to marry the eldest lady of the Han family. A few days ago, he sent someone to propose marriage, but Miss Han kicked him out with her belongings.
The Qiu family felt a great loss of face, especially the youngest son of the Qiu family. He was shiny and thought he had outstanding appearance. He was very puzzled by Miss Han's behavior.
He sent someone to investigate, and later learned that Miss Han had been guarding the Zhou family incense shop.
