Mind Reading: The Road to Dominance of the Group’s Pet Princess

Concubine De still had a gentle smile on her face, but the smile never reached her eyes. "Bold! When I am talking to Concubine Shu, there is no room for you to interrupt."

"Next spring, go and discipline the palace servants for Concubine Shu, and slap her ten times!"

Mingchun took the wooden board handed over by the little palace maid behind him. Xiao Anzi stepped forward and held down Shu Fei's eldest palace maid. Mingchun rounded his arms and hit her in the face.

Concubine Shu's face turned green with anger, and she immediately ordered people to come forward and stop Mingchun's actions. Aunt Wen led the people to stop Mingchun. Concubine De smiled and said, "Sister, help me teach the slaves who don't understand the rules, Jinghong Palace." We have enough manpower, so sister doesn’t need to send anyone to help.”

Concubine Shu suppressed the anger in her heart, stroked her hair and said with a sweet smile, "Then I'll help my sister. But my sister doesn't look very good. Yes, there was such a big change in the Duke's Mansion yesterday. Even the country Madam-in-law..., well, my sister needs to express her condolences."

Concubine De felt her vision go dark, and the sudden dizziness made her almost unsteady. She relied on Aunt Wen to stabilize her figure. "Concubine Shu, be careful, don't listen to wind and rain. Rumors only stop with the wise." Isn’t it true that Concubine Shu doesn’t understand?”

"Sister understands my sister's pain of losing her mother. I hope my sister will take care of her health. After all, the death of the Duke's wife was not His Majesty's original intention. It's best that I don't misunderstand His Majesty."

Concubine De bit her tongue hard, and the taste of blood filled her mouth. "I will personally verify this matter with Your Majesty. I won't bother Concubine Shu. Xiao Anzi, see you off!"

Seeing Concubine Shu's figure go away, she could no longer stand, and was helped back to the bedroom by Aunt Wen and others. Tears streamed down the corners of her eyes. Aunt Wen waved away the palace maid, and wiped Concubine De with trembling hands. tears.

"Your Majesty, what Concubine Shu said may not be true. You should take care of yourself!"

"The old slave has asked Xiao Anzi to find out the news. The results will be available soon."

Concubine De was choking with tears, "Mom, you don't understand. Concubine Shu won't talk about things that you are not sure about. What must have happened to the Duke's Mansion yesterday!"

"I want to see His Majesty!"

When Concubine De's ceremonial carriage arrived at the Imperial Garden, there were several nobles who had recently entered the palace admiring the flowers.

"Have you heard what happened yesterday? The Du family's collaboration with the enemy and treason should have implicated the nine clans. Now that the Du family's female family members are dead, they should go down below to pay for their sins."

"You can't criticize this matter. What happened yesterday is just a rumor after all."

"What rumors? I have heard about it. Yesterday, there was a river of blood in Du Guogong's palace. The blood has not dried up yet. If Concubine De falls, I don't know which empress will be promoted. Maybe our status can also be promoted." one liter."

After a pause, the voice said again, "I have seen His Majesty from a distance. He was really handsome and handsome. If we can..."

Aunt Wen's expression changed and she was about to step forward, only to hear a female voice with a cold tone say, "How dare you speak unreasonably!"

Several panicked voices sounded, "See the Queen!"

"I criticize Your Majesty and the imperial concubine. If you are a first-time offender, I will be fined and detained for half a month. You will be sent back to the palace immediately to think about your mistakes!"

"Thank you for your grace."

After the nobles left, Concubine De came forward to greet the Queen and said, "See the Queen."

The Queen was not surprised by Concubine De's appearance. She motioned for her to stand up, looked at Concubine De and said calmly, "Concubine De is going to ask for an audience with His Majesty?"

Concubine De raised her head and glanced at the reclusive empress. She had hardly been seen since entering the palace, but she was able to manage the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner.

The two had a relationship before, and they thought she would eventually get married to General Mo. Unexpectedly, the two ended up separated from each other. It was fate after all.

"Back to the Queen, yes, I have something I need to ask Your Majesty to clarify."

Duan Qingqiu glanced at Concubine De with red eyes, motioned for everyone to leave, and sighed, "Xin'er, I know what you want to ask. What I can tell you is, don't believe any news. Everything will be revealed tomorrow. "

After pondering for a while, he spoke again, "What you imagine won't happen."

"Sister Qingqiu, you..."

"Xin'er, there's no need to ask anymore. It's not convenient for me to say anything else. I can only tell you that you can just wait for the good news."

Concubine De's heart dropped, she held the queen's hand and nodded with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, sister Qingqiu."

The queen held Concubine De's hand back and looked at her deeply, with guilt and reluctance in her eyes. "My sister has been trapped in delusion for the past two years and has been living in a muddle. I have treated my sister poorly before, but I still want to ask my sister to give me a letter." .”

"My sister is serious. I can't help my sister to share her worries. Now it's okay for her to think about it. In the future, when she has some free time, she can call her to relieve her boredom."

The queen smiled and patted Concubine De's hand and nodded.

It was so easy to let go. When she closed her eyes, that person's voice and appearance would appear in front of her eyes. It was so clear, but also so blurry, so blurry that she could never touch it again in her life!

Now, she doesn't want to wait any longer, she wants to find him!

......

When Concubine De returned to the palace, Nalan Yunsheng was looking for her in the palace. She fell asleep on the way back to the palace last night. She didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning today. When she woke up, she couldn't wait to share what happened yesterday with Concubine De.

"Concubine, where have you been? I can't find you anywhere."

Squeezing into Concubine De's fragrant and soft arms, Nalan Yunsheng took a breath of satisfaction. This was the smell of a mother, a mother who loved her.

At first, she was a little embarrassed to act coquettishly in front of Concubine De, but the more times she did it, she fell in love with this feeling. It felt good to get a response for everything.

Besides, the world only knows how old she is on the outside, and no one knows how old her soul is, right?

"Mother, I will tell you quietly..."

Concubine De's eyes widened as she listened. After a while, the news that Concubine De was seriously ill spread throughout the harem. After Concubine Shu received the news, she laughed nervously and made a scene. I don’t even know when they disappeared.

......

Today's Jinluan Palace is different from the past. The bright yellow figure is missing from the main seat. The ministers below are talking about the people who are kneeling to petition the foreign minister in the palace.

The news that Du Guogong had collaborated with the enemy and treason, killing 90,000 soldiers, spread throughout the country, and the people outside petitioning were basically the families of those soldiers.

"Go up!"

"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty"

After all the ministers saluted, Emperor Shun did not stand up immediately. He stared at Fang Zhong with a gloomy face. This old man dared to incite the people to force him!

Fang Zhong thought he had done things covertly, but after Emperor Shun found a breakthrough, everything he had done was exposed.

"My lords, do you have anything to report?"

An old man with white beard and hair was the first to go out. Emperor Shun had a headache when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. It has been several days since the incident of Du Guogong collaborating with the enemy and treason, but Your Majesty has not ordered the arrest of Du Guogong and his son. This is really your Majesty's fault!"

"The families of 90,000 soldiers cannot afford to kneel in front of the Foreign Minister. They have grievances in their hearts. Your Majesty should give them an explanation. The common people are angry, Your Majesty!"

[This oncoming scholar's breath must be the famous "Longevity Ambassador" Lin Daru. What he said is really unpleasant. My scumbag father is wise and powerful, how can I be wrong? 】

[Little old man, if it weren’t for your loyalty, my scumbag father would have been unable to stand you. 】

[By the way, my grandfather should have arrived in the capital in the next few days. If he doesn't come back, Fang Zhong will jump over the wall. 】

Emperor Shun nodded secretly when he heard Xiao Naiyin. If he hadn't seen that although Lin Daru was pedantic, he was more loyal than anything else, he would have been unable to bear it.

"There is insufficient evidence in the case of Du Guogong's collusion with the enemy. We will discuss it later. Dear ministers, please discuss how to appease the people outside the palace."

We need to take a look at what these people want to do by doing this.

Another imperial censor came out and said, "Your Majesty, the public resentment is boiling now, and I'm afraid it will not be easy to resolve. There are only two ways to reduce the public's anger at this time."

"The first is to order the arrest of Du Guogong and his son, and to kill the nine clans of Du Mansion!"

"Second, the second is..."

This gentleman wanted to be a prominent figure for the sake of being a high-ranking official, but he did not dare to say the next sentence no matter what.

Emperor Shun looked over and wanted to know if ivory could come out of this man's mouth.

Lin Daru's angry voice sounded, "Your Majesty, if you want the common people to complain, the second way is to issue an edict to punish yourself and admit your fault to the world!"

"For the public, it is His Majesty's personal permission for Duke Du to go on the expedition. For private purposes, the daughter of Duke Du is Concubine De."

"In both public and private matters, Your Majesty, you must issue this edict to punish yourself!"

After Lin Daru finished speaking, he made a bowing ceremony.

Emperor Shun almost laughed out loud after hearing this. He thought these people could come up with some new tricks, but it turned out to be the same trick.

This forces him to choose one of two options, either to kill the nine members of the Du family or to punish himself. Which emperor is willing to do this!

The sinner's edict is an oral edict or document used to reflect on one's own mistakes or mistakes when problems arise in the court, the country suffers natural disasters, or the political power is in danger.

It usually appears in three situations: first, the monarch and his ministers are misplaced, second, disaster caused by natural disasters, and third, when the political power is in crisis.

Now his ministers actually want to force him to issue a criminal edict, which is really good!

[Scumbag dad is so miserable. Since he came to the throne, he has slept later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken. He has been diligently handling government affairs. Today, he was forced to issue a self-incriminating edict. I feel sorry for him for a second. 】

[But scumbag dad, if you are angry, don’t take it out on Old Man Lin. He is really worried about you, it’s just that he’s doing it in an unflattering way. 】

[If you are angry, go to Fang Zhong, it is Old Man Lin who he is using. 】

Emperor Shun was very skilled at cultivating his Qi. He could still endure this small scene. He suppressed his anger and looked at all the ministers and said coolly, "Concubine De is my concubine. I am also one of the nine clans of Duke Du."
