fake prince

Chapter 1236

"It's not enough for Dazheng to shake me, but it may shake me."

The emperor sat with anxious eyes.

As long as he thinks that what happened back then has been revealed like this, the emperor can't help being suspicious.

"I have already dealt with the people from back then, why did they leak out all of a sudden?"

"Could it be... the king of Shu was really spying on me back then?"

The emperor couldn't help recalling the events of the year, vaguely remembering that during that time, the king of Shu really wanted to get close to him, and there were scenes of being together, and the young king of Shu couldn't help but look at him quietly.

Could it be that this naughty boy who was only in his teens already knew about this and spied on this at that time?
"Impossible, if this is the case, the king of Shu has the dangers of mountains and rivers, and the depth of the city, so he is well versed in conspiracy."

The emperor suddenly felt a chill, and his judgment was shaken.

"Eunuch Hu?"

In the palace where the queen lives, there are several palace lanterns at the gate and corridor, which are dimly illuminated. They are always on day and night, ready to respond to the master's call at any time.

There are court ladies standing at the door, and occasionally there are eunuchs on patrol. No matter who they are, they wear flat soft shoes, and their steps are light and silent, so as not to disturb the nobles.

A young eunuch came out, followed by several young eunuchs, they all stood together, looked up at the sky, saw Shang Zihan staring upside down, looking at Hu Huai'an and his party in puzzlement.

Although it was early in the morning, it was too early. The night in the palace seemed to be peaceful. Hu Huaian came here at this time, and he still brought the tribute fruit, which seemed very strange.

The surprised looks of these eunuchs made Hu Huai'an feel relieved.

What does this mean?
The people in the Queen's Palace were puzzled. Doesn't it mean that the people here don't know the rumors outside?
That's right, the empress has ignored government affairs for many years, and this is the harem, and the rumors were only spread last night. How could it possibly spread to the palace, which had been closed for a long time?
Even the emperor, didn't he just find out?

Thinking about it this way, if Hu Huai'an's task is to be accomplished, it is actually quite easy.

If the queen finds out here, the already furious emperor will become even more unhappy, and by then, he will probably be angered.

Now that he can successfully complete the task, the emperor can probably breathe a sigh of relief, and he will not make mistakes out of thin air.

Thinking of this, the smile on Hu Huai'an's face became more real.

"The emperor just got up, and he thought of his mother. This is just a tribute fruit. This melon is very rare. It was planted on the southernmost island overseas. It was shipped by sea. Because only a few dozen were delivered, I sent it specially. Here are twenty for the empress."

Although I don't know why he came here to deliver things at this time, but the emperor's convulsions are actually not once or twice. With such an explanation, and it seems that the visitor is not a bad thing, the queen's palace staff didn't ask any more questions. Hu Huai'an let him in.

Hu Huai'an definitely wanted to see the empress for this kind of imperial gift, but it was too early at this time, the young eunuch led Hu Huai'an in and waited first, while the eunuch went in to report.

After a while, the young eunuch came out and said to Hu Huai'an, "Your Majesty, let Eunuch Hu go over."

He directly led him to the main hall, and after entering, he found that the queen was already dressed and sitting on the phoenix seat.

Standing on both sides are the female officials and nuns, as well as several palace servants on duty.

Looking at their appearance, they all looked a little tired. They obviously got up early, so they looked quite normal.

Hu Huai'an walked all the way, and found that the atmosphere in the queen's place was normal, neither lively nor serious, but also a little deserted.

This is the same feeling as he used to come to the Queen's Palace, not different.

Hu Huai'an didn't dare to neglect the lord of the harem, he hurried forward a few steps, knelt down and bowed down.

"Get up." The sitting queen said coldly.

His attitude towards him was completely unenthusiastic. If he hadn't come here on behalf of the emperor, he would have had to meet him, and he might not have even wanted to meet him.

This kind of perfunctory gesture doesn't need to be pondered carefully, it's all on the bright side.

But Hu Huai'an felt more at ease, it is normal for the empress to treat her like this, if she becomes kinder to herself, then it is not normal!
He told the empress what he had just said to the young eunuch outside, in a more flowery rhetoric and in a more tactful tone.

"The emperor's concern for the empress, I was deeply moved when my slaves heard it."

After hearing this, the queen's attitude was still very cold, she only said that she knew, and asked Hu Huai'an to tell the emperor, saying that she was very moved and very happy.

He said he was very moved and happy, and his tone was flat, just like eating dim sum or rice cakes.

"That's the tone." Hu Huai'an felt more at ease, as long as the emperor didn't appear in person, the empress would always have such a cold attitude towards outsiders.

Immediately agreed with a smile, and asked the empress to rest well, he backed up and retreated step by step until he exited the main hall, then turned around and led the people away.

Until Hu Huai'an left, he stood up and watched the leaving queen, and waved for people to go down.

"I got up early, but I'm still a little tired. Come in after a while."

"Yes!"

When everyone backed out, the queen was still standing still, but her eyes were getting bigger and bigger, the canthus were about to split, and the nails of both hands were pierced into the palms fiercely. It was also because of the pain that she was able to keep Keep calm and watch everyone leave instead of going crazy on the spot.

"So it's like this?" Her whole body seemed to be trembling with extreme cold, and two lines of tears slowly flowed from her eyes, which turned a faint color of blood.

"It turns out that it wasn't the emperor's fault at all, or that he handed over to the gangsters by mistake. It's you, an old man, who wants to seize his son and prolong his life?"

"You still want to kill my grandson to prolong his life? I...I am at stake with you!"

A moment passed in a blink of an eye, and the maids and eunuchs rushed in again, washing and updating one by one. The female officer Zhaoxia saw that the queen was fine, but her eyes were a little red and swollen. It should be because of getting up early, so she put on the powder carefully, just listen The queen asked: "What's the matter today?"

"It's nothing serious, just the concubines in the palace and the unmarried princesses, paying their respects as usual."

"The only special ones are Princess Xinping and Princess Ningping."

"Xinping!" The queen was taken aback. She remembered the princess and knew the rumors. She thought it was a rumor, but she became a Taoist priest, which made people think of it.

But the empress just had a heartbeat, instead of talking about her, she asked, "What's wrong with Princess Ningping?"

Princess Ningping has been married for five years. She is a bit shy when she sees her occasionally. She is a gentle and courteous princess. There are also rules for the princess to meet her. This time it is a bit strange to ask for an audience.

Zhaoxia combed her hair carefully, sighed, and said, "I heard it's about attaching a horse."

"Is it because the job attached to the horse is not good?" The queen was surprised: "If you want to be promoted, you have to ask the emperor."

"No, she was released on a foreign job, separated more and joined less, married for five years and had no children."

"I can come forward and talk about it, and transfer back to the capital." The queen seemed to be talking casually, which was tantamount to allowing an audience.

There was nothing to say at the moment, the queen let them dress up, but she was deep in thought.

"Princess Xinping herself is actually very favored by the emperor."

"Others don't know, but I know."

"However, she is actually nothing. The birth mother, Concubine Wu, is a powerful concubine."

Now that I think about it, the emperor's control over power is deeply rooted. The mother and concubine of the king of Shu and the king of Qi should be valued by their sons, but they were faintly suppressed to prevent internal and external collusion.

Concubine Wu, who has only one daughter and no son, is favored and promoted instead, restraining each other.

The queen saw all this in her eyes, she didn't have much thought at first, but at this moment her heart moved.

"It's time for Taisun to employ people."

"If I have Concubine Wu's cooperation to a certain extent, many things will be very convenient for me. After all, I haven't been in charge of the palace for more than ten years."

"As long as the grandson is in the right position, what about Xu Xinping's position?"

"It's just a name change, who can question it?"
