If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

On the afternoon of the second day, Li Youlin got off work and personally escorted Qin Shu into the palace.

On the way, Li Youlin told Qin Shu what he knew, "At the morning court today, the emperor announced that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin would oversee the government and exercise the power of the emperor."

This is expected.

The emperor is in serious health. Even if he survives, he needs to be carefully cared for.

"There are rumors in the palace that the emperor has recovered from his illness, and Prince Jin almost fell when he got off the carriage when he returned home. This is because he was disappointed."

"Prince Ning submitted a letter of apology to the Emperor, saying that the Imperial Concubine was 'seriously ill', and Prince Ning requested permission to enter the palace to attend to her."

Qin Shu's eyes moved slightly, and she asked softly, "Has the emperor approved it?"

Li Youlin said: "No news has been released yet."

Some time ago, the emperor knew that he would not live long, and Prince Ning had done something so outrageous. Even if the emperor loved and doted on him as much as he loved him, he couldn't help but feel disheartened.

Now that the emperor's health has improved, Prince Ning should admit his mistakes at the right time and use the father-son relationship of the past to exchange for the opportunity to lift the ban and enter the palace.

There is no guarantee that the emperor will not be soft-hearted.

With Prince Ning taking advantage of the emperor's illness to try to control him, Prince Jin had an ulterior motive in taking care of the emperor during this period.

The emperor recovered from his illness, and Prince Jin returned home and was defeated.

Once these rumors reach the emperor's ears, all the efforts made by Prince Jin before will probably be wasted.

Qin Shu sighed softly: From ancient times to the present, the fight for succession has always been the cruelest struggle, a life-and-death battle between biological fathers and sons and between biological brothers.

In order to obtain the supreme power, a bloody massacre between family affection and power unfolds.

In this war, if you are even slightly careless, you may end up in hell.

Although Prince Ning suffered a series of defeats, most of the forces in the court were eliminated.

However, he had worked hard in the court for many years, and his foundation was much stronger than that of Prince Jin.

In addition, his status in the emperor's mind can be said to be unique.

Although the King of Jin seems to be on the verge of victory, he will still lose everything if he is not careful.

Next, it depends on how Prince Jin will break the impasse this time.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Qin Shu checked the badge on her waist, said goodbye to Li Youlin, and followed the eunuch who led the way all the way to Zhengyuan Palace.

After entering the palace and settling down, Qin Shu went to the front hall to check in with Li Dexian, officially moving into the palace.

She was a female official appointed by the emperor on a whim.

Because there was no precedent and Qin Shu had made great contributions to the court, she had nothing to do all day. The emperor did not summon her and no one assigned her any tasks.

So except when the emperor took medicine, she went to the front hall to serve, and most of the time, she stayed in the back hall.

He stayed in the palace for more than ten days.

This was the most leisurely and comfortable period of time she had lived since her parents passed away.

In the blink of an eye it is already mid-October.

As the weather gets colder, the emperor's cough shows signs of getting worse.

Early that morning, when Qin Shu rushed to the front hall, she just happened to hear the emperor raging in anger inside.

A gold-painted jade cup flew out from the hall with a "whoosh" and shattered at Qin Shu's feet with a "pop".

Everyone knelt on the ground.

Just as Qin Shu was about to kneel down, she saw Li Dexian waving at her from the corner of her eye.

She hurried into the palace and bowed to the emperor, "Your servant greets His Majesty. Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

The emperor was so angry that his face turned blue and he sat on the throne with a disdainful look on his face.

Qin Shu signaled the trembling little palace maid behind her to bring the medicine over. After taking it, she placed it on the table beside the emperor and advised him softly, "I hope Your Majesty will take the emperor's health into consideration."

The emperor glanced at Qin Shu coldly, exhaled heavily from his nose, but did not get angry again.

Seeing that Li Dexian kept winking at her, Qin Shu had to pluck up the courage to say, "I remember that Your Majesty still owed me a promise. I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers it?"

The emperor glanced at Qin Shu and snorted, "Why, you're here to collect a debt from me too?"

After spending some time together, Qin Shu was able to roughly understand the emperor's temper and personality.

It is estimated that no one dared to speak to the emperor like this before. The emperor would find it somewhat fresh that the little girl would act coquettishly and silly in his daily life.

I am willing to let her do as she pleases.

Qin Shu couldn't help laughing, "So your Majesty is angry because someone asked your Majesty for a debt? Oh, is it because I asked for the debt at the wrong time? If I had known that someone had already asked your Majesty for the debt, I should have come back a few days later."

The emperor was feeling upset, but when he saw the pretty young girl smiling and acting coquettishly towards him, his annoyance was somewhat relieved. "You don't intend to leave me idle. You want to collect debts from me every day? Tell me, what debt do you want to collect from me?"

Qin Shu smiled innocently and said, "Your Majesty has personally promised to grant me a wish, any wish. So I beg Your Majesty to drink this medicine and not be angry, okay?"

The emperor glared at Qin Shu, "Humph, these are two wishes."

Qin Shu retorted, "How could that be? It's clearly just one."

The emperor couldn't help laughing. "You are the only girl who has never been afraid of me. You dare to bargain with me and even ask me for an official position in front of all the civil and military officials in the court."

Qin Shu flattered him immediately, "Who makes your Majesty so kind and amiable? As soon as I saw you, I felt close to you from the bottom of my heart. You don't know that I was timid before and didn't dare to say a word in front of others."

The emperor snorted and laughed, pointing at Qin Shu and said to Li Dexian: "Look, she is so timid?"

Li Dexian quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right."

Qin Shu hurriedly smiled and pushed the medicine forward, "Then, once your majesty drinks the medicine, the wish you promised me will be canceled."

The emperor stared at Qin Shu's face for a long time before suddenly saying, "How about this? I will give you a task today. If you do it well, I will promise to give you a real official position. How about that?"

Qin Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously felt that the task the emperor was going to give her might be a job that could cost her her life.

as predicted!

Before Qin Shu could agree, she heard the emperor slowly say, "Someone reported that the Prince of Jin had secretly ordered someone to privately make a dragon robe. You go to the Prince of Jin's mansion and check for me to see if this is true."

Qin Shu suddenly broke out in a sweat and quickly knelt down.

The emperor's face suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying, "What? Are you going to disobey my order?"

Qin Shu quickly replied: "I obey your order. But I have an unreasonable request."

The emperor sneered and said, "Are you still asking for favors? Tell me."

"Since we are going to investigate the Prince Jin's Mansion, if I go alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone. Why don't you choose one or two more people to go with me? That way, no matter what the results are, no one will question it."

The emperor understood what she meant.

This matter, including the unfortunate fall from power in front of Prince Jin's mansion, was spread by Prince Ning's faction.

Everyone knows that Qin Shu is Prince Jin's person. If we only send her, Prince Ning will certainly say that the Emperor is shielding Prince Jin, and I'm afraid he will hold on to this matter in the future.

Sending someone from Prince Ning's mansion to investigate would appear more fair and just.

When the emperor heard the news, he was so furious that he planned to send the imperial guards to surround the Prince of Jin's mansion and search it.

But thinking of what Concubine Xian said that day, the Emperor felt that he was making such a fuss without any verification. If he had wrongly accused Prince Jin, it would hurt the relationship between father and son.

After thinking it over and hesitating, Qin Shu happened to bump into him.
