Although Concubine Wen reminded Abao not to get close to Guanju Palace recently.

But Po couldn't just ignore it and watch.

In the evening, Abao entered Guanju Palace on the pretext of delivering a Buddhist bead bracelet to Jishou Mountain.

Surprisingly, Princess Huimin was also there.

Two beautiful ladies in gorgeous clothes were copying Buddhist scriptures with their sleeves rolled up.

Seeing this, A Bao told Lu Lang to serve the bird's nest and lotus seed soup, while he rolled up his sleeves and picked up a pen to help Concubine Wen copy the scriptures.

Within a moment, the only sound in Guanju Palace was the sound of pens.

A Bao was really worried, and finally couldn't help but asked, "Mother, what happened?"

"Do you suspect that I was the one who did it?"

Concubine Wen asked in a very cold tone without even raising her head.

Upon hearing this, A Bao immediately took Concubine Wen's arm affectionately and said, "No one knows a mother better than her daughter. I know that if you really wanted to get rid of the fetus in Concubine Li Jia's belly, you would have done it long ago."

Princess Huimin, who was standing by, took the bird's nest and lotus seed soup that Lu Lang had served and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, please stop scaring Abao and explain. Otherwise, my dear niece will be worried sick."

Concubine Wen, who had been pretending to be serious, could not help but sneer with disgust: "Knowing that the cold palace was guarded by the imperial guards and the emperor's personal guards, I set up a scheme to poison Concubine Li Jia and her unborn baby? I am out of my mind."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Abao was amused and held his forehead: "..."

When Concubine Wen saw her daughter running to visit her out of worry, she felt warm at heart.

Concubine Wen smiled and said, "In fact, as early as when you set out to worship Buddha at Jishou Mountain, mother discovered that there was something wrong with the young cook. Later, she followed the clues and found that Concubine Chun took the initiative to contact Concubine Li Jia, wanting to help Concubine Li Jia get out of the cold palace and regain her favor."

"My mother originally planned to take advantage of the situation and keep her troops in place until the snake was out of its hole."

At this point, Concubine Wen's smile was a little depressed: "I never thought that Concubine Li Jia would dare to use the fetus in her belly to set a trap."

"You're not afraid of something bad happening, it could really harm the baby in your belly."

"The Empress's sister-in-law always thinks that everyone has a kind motherly heart." Princess Huimin chuckled.

Hearing this, A Bao looked at Princess Huimin thoughtfully.

At this time, Princess Huimin said earnestly: "Li Jiafei and those court officials only want a prince."

"As for the future, is this prince smart or stupid? It doesn't matter. In fact, a stupid prince is better and easier for them to control."

Of course, Abao knew the meaning of this sentence.

A foolish young ruler will only allow himself to be manipulated by the court officials.

But, her royal aunt seemed to be hesitant to speak today, and there seemed to be something strange in her expression.

Ah Bao couldn't help but probe: "Did the Royal Aunt hear anything?"

Princess Huimin hesitated.

But remembering that she had watched Abao grow up, Princess Huimin finally decided to remind him with a thoughtful look.

"Recently, some court officials have secretly mentioned the fight between Empress Wenying's two sons for the throne."

"It seems like they are going to use this to make a fuss, Yi Chu."

As soon as the dispute over Wen Yingdi was mentioned, Abao understood.

Hundreds of years ago, the empress's eldest son and legitimate son had different biological fathers.

Therefore, the prominent paternal families behind the two sons all wanted to support their own bloodline to ascend the throne.

The deadly battle for power involved all the empress's children and the most powerful and prestigious families in Daqi. Rivers of blood flowed and mountains of bones piled up. It was extremely tragic and bloody.

This has been a struggle for power and succession since ancient times and is unavoidable.

But it was said to be a divine punishment for the empress's ascension to the throne.

It was too ridiculous, and Abao felt upset.

She knew clearly that those court officials who supported the heir in Li Jiafei's womb mentioned Empress Wenying again, intending to remind the old emperor that even Empress Wenying, who laid the foundation for the prosperous empire of Daqi, had suffered a tragic disaster in which her two sons fought for the throne, which almost destroyed the foundation of Daqi.

If she ascends the throne, the dispute between Wen Ying and the heir will surely be repeated.

There was silence for a while, and Guanju Palace was as cold as an ice cellar.

What broke the silence was Abao's cold chuckle.

"However, the dispute between Wen Ying and the heir was settled by the empress herself. The crown prince chosen by the empress, who later became Emperor Xiao Jing, created the prosperous era of Da Qi."

The court officials could point out any shortcomings of hers, but it was ridiculous for a female empress to ascend the throne and lead to a dispute over the succession.

The more he thought about it, the colder and more sarcastic Abao became.

Which courtier had this stupid idea?

Have they forgotten?

When the previous emperor was in power, the old emperor killed his brothers in order to ascend the throne.

The old emperor's five princes, her five royal brothers, all died in the fight for the position of crown prince, without a single one left.

After thinking about it, suddenly, Abao felt puzzled.

The old emperor's intention to change the crown prince was obvious.

Why did the court officials behind Concubine Li Jia say such ridiculous things as "the empress's accession to the throne will lead to a dispute over the succession"?

This desperate plan seems to indicate that the old emperor has no intention of changing the crown prince.

So, those court officials became anxious.
