Jinse was immediately shocked and squatted down and called out, "Madam! Madam! What's wrong with you?"

She turned around and said to the two guards, "Please help me take a look, I'll call the doctor right away!" Then she ran away quickly...

The two guards looked at each other and frowned at the same time!

It is inappropriate to let the imperial concubine lie on the ground like this. If His Majesty sees it, it may cause trouble...

So the two of them had to come over and help the unconscious Concubine Jia to a couch in the hall to rest, and then returned to stand guard at the door.

After a while, the "fainted" Concubine Jia suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and quietly got down to the ground...

She quietly came to the stairs, took off her shoes, and then tiptoed up with her skirt in hand...

After arriving on the second floor, I heard a faint sound coming from the east, so I quietly walked towards the source of the sound...

When she reached the corner, she didn't dare to go any further, so she pressed herself against the wall and listened inside...

I only heard the voice of the Emperor Retired: "... Then who do you think can inherit the throne?"

When she heard this, she couldn't help but shudder all over! Then her heart started beating wildly!

After a while, the emperor sighed and said, "Alas, it is difficult to pick a suitable candidate!"

Then the emperor asked in surprise, "Is Wuchen not possible? I heard that the old ministers in the court are very supportive of him and praise him as a gentle and humble prince! This child has a lot of popularity..."

The emperor shook his head and sighed softly, "He is indeed courteous to the wise and humble! Unfortunately, he is too eager to win people's hearts and minds, and is very close to those ministers with backgrounds, but he does not have the ability to kill and make decisions! He is unwilling to offend people! Once he sits on the throne in the future, I am afraid that he will be led by those ministers who form cliques and pursue personal interests!"

The Emperor sighed, "Alas, it's not his fault! This child lost his mother when he was young, and he has no support in the palace. Naturally, he learned to read people's expressions and protect himself! He is nothing like Wuhen, who has been fearless since he was young!"

The emperor nodded and said, "He is better than Wuhen! At least he is willing to work and actively listens to the opinions of the ministers. When he was managing the Ministry of Works, he did a good job. If he had not been an ordinary prince instead of an emperor, he would have been a good and wise prince... Compared with him, Wuhen is far behind!"

"Well, this is also the same person with different fates!" The emperor said helplessly: "Although Wuhen is my younger brother, because he has a prominent maternal grandfather and his mother, Concubine Cao, is very favored, it is inevitable that his son has become a little arrogant and undisciplined."

The emperor frowned and said, "If he was just lazy, it would be fine, but this kid is an unlearned playboy! He usually either rides a horse or shoots arrows, or drinks in the palace. He doesn't seem to have any ambition at all! Imperial Concubine Cao is so disappointed with him that she is almost dying of anxiety! She has run to his palace to scold him more than once..."

At this point, the emperor could not help but sigh: "Father, you didn't care about me when I was young... but I knew how to study hard at home. When I grew up, I followed you to the battlefield all day long, running around in the wind and rain... But look at these two children, neither of them has the appearance of an emperor!

One wanted to be the emperor too much! He was so ambitious! He was busy trying to win people's hearts and minds all day long, and he was courteous to the wise and humble! Even when Yao Yuntao's daughter was sick, he immediately sent the imperial physician over. He was such a good person! Unfortunately, he put his mind in the wrong place, and he didn't have the strategy and decision-making that a wise monarch should have! The other one was completely the opposite of his brother, with no ambition at all, and was a complete loser!"

When Concubine Jia, who was hiding in the corner, overheard this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth... Her son did not have any of the above shortcomings!

Wu Ren is a smart, hardworking, and very sensible child. He reads until very late every day and is very polite to his teachers. He is exactly the ideal candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's mind!

Of course, this is all thanks to her good education since childhood, this child can grow up so well! Not only is she handsome and graceful at a young age, but her every move reveals the royal demeanor of a noble family! A few days ago, the wife of the Duke of Wei wanted to let her cousin and Wu Ren be engaged, but she did not agree!

What a joke! Her son will inherit the throne and become the emperor in the future, how can he get engaged casually? She doesn't even look down on ordinary rich girls, she must be the daughter of a century-old, wealthy family!

At this point, Concubine Jia suddenly thought of Jiang Yaonian's wife... That little village girl is due to give birth in two months. If it's a daughter, she can consider it...

Then the voice of the Emperor was heard again: "What about Wu Ren's child?"

The emperor groaned and said, "No one..."

Jia Fei's heart suddenly rose to her throat! She held her breath and waited for the next part...

The emperor said softly, "Among the three children, I like Wu Ren the most. He is not only smart and sensible, but also good at studying! It's a pity that he is too young. Even if I pass the throne to him, he may not be able to sit firmly... Those civil servants who advocate 'the eldest son will be the heir if there is a legitimate heir, and the eldest son will be the heir if there is no legitimate heir' will not agree! What's more, there is the Cao family. It is even more impossible for them to agree to let a ten-year-old child take charge of the country..."

When Concubine Jia heard this, a faint light flashed in her eyes... Her son suffered because he was too young! Otherwise, with her status as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she could have fought against the Duke's Mansion! Although the Cao family has many followers in the court, the four major families firmly control the economic arteries of the court. Even the princes and ministers have to be polite when they see them. They can easily crush the Cao family!

She immediately decided that she must do something to help pave the way for her son!

Thinking of this, she turned around and quietly went downstairs, came to the couch on the first floor and lay down again...

After a while, Jinse arrived with the imperial physician. After entering, she said anxiously, "The queen is here!"

The imperial doctors came over and took out the pulse pillow from the medicine box to take Concubine Jia's pulse...

After taking the number, he said, "Your Majesty's pulse is a little chaotic. It should be caused by your melancholy and depression. I'll prescribe two doses of medicine to calm your mind and spirit!"

After hearing this, Jinse hurriedly thanked the imperial physician, and the physician wrote the prescription and left.

At this time, Concubine Jia slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "Why am I here?"

Jinse hurriedly said, "You just fainted! The imperial physician took your pulse and said that it was caused by your depression..."

Concubine Jia sat up and panted, "Oh, then I'm fine now! Let's go, no one should come over to eat with me in a while."

"Yes!" Jinse hurriedly helped her up, and the master and servant walked out together.

The guard at the gate didn't take it to heart when he saw the two men finally leave.

After leaving Chongyuan Palace, seeing that there was no one around, Concubine Jia gently let go of Jinse's hand and said with a serious expression: "I have to go to Yunxi Palace!"
