Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

Xuanzheng Hall,

The court officials gathered in groups of three or four, with no order at all as usual.

The group led by Minister Wang did not move at all and stood in their positions as usual.

Minister Xin and his party looked at him with great disdain.

He said something to Minister Wang and his entourage, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for others to hear.

"Your Majesty has been late in attending court. We don't know what's going on. We are very worried."

Shangshu Wang had no expression on his face. He just glanced at the group of people calmly and said, "Your Majesty is blessed by the gods, so nothing will happen to you."

After hearing this, the group of people sneered, came closer to Minister Wang and lowered their voices.

"It's just nonsense from the people. I didn't expect that the Minister of Rites would believe it. How ridiculous."

Minister Wang just glanced at the man and said coldly, "Whether you believe it or not is none of your business."

At this time, Chief Steward Zhao arrived and said, "My Lords, His Majesty is not feeling well and cannot attend the court. Please go back."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone lamented. It was the minister who had previously advised the emperor not to swallow the elixir in the imperial study.

He covered his face and groaned, his voice hoarse.

"I knew this would happen! Your Majesty! You don't listen to our advice!"

"If it weren't for the pills, how could Your Majesty be so sick that he couldn't get up!"

Meng Zidu and Meng Lao watched the man's performance coldly.

Unexpectedly, when the man saw that no one responded, he turned his gaze to Mr. Meng.

"Mr. Meng was invited by His Majesty and specially appointed as the Imperial College Priest. Such a highly respected person fainted in the Imperial Study Room that day out of anger."

"Your Majesty still doesn't listen to the advice. Your Majesty, you are confused!"

Old Meng looked at the man and also acted sad.

"That's true. If Minister Xin hadn't presented the sorcerer to Your Majesty, how could we have reached this day?"

"Minister Xin has evil intentions, and he deserves death."

Originally, Mr. Meng wanted to point out Minister Xin's affairs, so that when His Majesty "repented", he could take action against him with justification.

But they didn't expect that Xin Shangshu's group, seeing that Xin Shangshu was in trouble, were about to kick him away.

"That's true. If it weren't for him, how could His Majesty be harmed like this? He deserves to die."

For a moment, all the ministers were talking about it.

Mencius had a sad look on his face, but his words were full of sarcasm and blame, and he looked very angry.

"It seems that you are loyal to His Majesty. But why didn't you say this to His Majesty that day?"

"If you had felt even a little bit as sad as you do today, His Majesty might have been moved by you."

"How could this happen? I'm afraid you, sir, are also to blame."

The man stepped back in fear, "Master Xiao Meng, you must be confused because of His Majesty's poor health."

"We have the same heart."

Meng Zidu stepped forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and swung his fist to hit him.

He was stopped by other ministers.

Mencius looked at the minister in front of him with hatred, with tears in his eyes.

His voice was trembling with excitement. "Your Majesty will be fine. Just shut up."

The man slapped himself a few times and said, "Master Xiao Meng, calm down. I was wrong. Please don't bother with me."

Mr. Meng looked very disappointed and said sternly, "Meng Zidu! Look at yourself."

After saying that, he pulled Meng Zidu to his side. Meng Zidu looked a little reluctant, but under the pressure from his grandfather, he had no choice but to follow.

Mr. Meng lowered his voice, but it could still be heard by those who were paying attention.

"You are like this, isn't it..."

Mr. Meng didn't finish his words, but just looked at Meng Zidu with disappointment.

Meng Zidu was shocked and then clenched his fists.

After a long silence, he choked up and said, "Grandpa, I lost my composure."

Mr. Meng closed his eyes, sighed, and shook his head slightly.

"Let's go."

After saying this, he dragged his heavy feet and walked out of the hall step by step.

Meng Zidu clenched his fists so tightly that his hands were shaking.

Followed Mr. Meng and left the hall.

The other ministers seemed to be thinking about it and left one after another.

After everyone had left, the emperor carried Lin Shu out from behind the wall against which the dragon throne was leaning.

Lin Shu opened his mouth, looking shocked.

[Is the Meng family's acting skills inherited from their ancestors? ]

【If anyone saw them like that, they would think my father was dying.】

Thinking of this, Lin Shu couldn't help but glance at her emperor father who had walked such a long distance in his arms without even taking a breath.

[It really doesn’t look like he’s dying. ]

The emperor suddenly felt tired, and his daughter no longer expected anything good from him.

He sighed in his heart, "The show is over, Daddy will take you back to catch up on your sleep."

Then he carried Lin Shu back.

Lin Shu smacked his lips twice.

[What a pity, this play is too short, I haven’t seen enough. ]

At the Wang family residence, Shangshu Wang was surrounded again, but this time, those who followed him were all from his party.

"Sir Wang, everyone knows that Mencius is a close minister to the emperor, and His Majesty loves to summon him the most."

"Looking at his appearance, Your Majesty is afraid that he is."

The man stopped talking here, with an expression that said "you know".

"We still have a chance at this time."

Minister Wang closed his eyes and said, "If you want to go, go ahead. I won't stop you."

Seeing that Minister Wang was determined not to take any action, the man finally gave up the idea.

After a long while, Minister Wang said quietly, "Your Majesty must be fine."

Everyone was puzzled, "Why is the Lord so sure?"

Shangshu Wang sighed, "Although the rumors among the people are exaggerated, they are not all false."

"It was indeed after the princess was born that those things happened."

Some people were a little anxious, "What ability can a baby in swaddling clothes have? It's just that His Majesty is trying to build momentum for himself and the princess."

Minister Wang shook his head. "One thing is a coincidence, two things are coincidences, but is everything a coincidence?"

"Your Majesty must have met some master, and now he is using the princess as a cover to confuse everyone."

"So this must be a plot by your majesty and the master behind the scenes!"

"All you want is a life of glory and a further advancement of your family."

"Now the opportunity to go further is right in front of us. It all depends on whether you are ruthless enough!"

The others gradually understood, and some even had some struggle in their eyes.

"Our families are closely related, and we are also related by marriage. If... then what should I do with my daughter?"

The others were a little confused. "Lord Sun! She's just a daughter. The opportunity is right in front of us, how can we not seize it! Don't lose the big picture for the small one."

Minister Wang looked at Sun Wenyu with a warning look.

Sun Wenyou was shocked, then he lowered his head and said bitterly, "Yes, sir. I understand."

Lin Shu, the master behind Lin, who was far away in the palace, sneezed several times.

[Who is teasing me behind my back? ]

The emperor, who was carefully reviewing memorials, was filled with question marks when he heard the word "cricket".

Cricket? What cricket? Who taught my daughter to fight crickets?

Must be investigated strictly!
