As soon as she sent away the emperor who had been pleased with her, Zhen Huan took Huanbi and quickly rushed to Yonghe Palace, but found An Lingrong.

"Sister, why are you here?"

An Lingrong was a little surprised to see Zhen Huan coming.

"You don't know something..."

Zhen Huan told the emperor what he had confessed to her before, and then changed the subject, saying that she had a bad feeling in her heart, as if a big storm was about to break out in the court!

Speaking of this, Zhen Huan's face became solemn, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Seeing that An Lingrong was also lost in thought, she said sadly: "Lingrong, when the emperor confided in me, his words revealed his worries about the situation in the court. It's not just Prince Dun, but also Nian Gengyao. I heard that he is becoming more and more arrogant. I feel in my heart that this is a sign of a big storm coming!"

"Sister, don't worry too much!"

An Lingrong frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Sister, when the emperor came to Suiyuxuan, did he mention anything specific?"

Zhen Huan shook her head and said, "The Emperor did not specify the details, but from his words, I can sense his dissatisfaction and vigilance towards certain forces..."

Although, when Yongzheng found Zhen Huan, he only said that he felt Prince Dun was becoming more and more arrogant, but based on Zhen Huan's experience of getting along with him, she felt that there was more to Yongzheng's words than meets the eye.

Hearing this, An Lingrong's heart tightened.

She knew very well that the court was always changing, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. If they were not careful, they would fall into an irretrievable situation!

Combining what she knew in her previous life, An Lingrong understood that Prince Dun would end up with the same bad fate as Nian Gengyao.

However, thanks to this incident in An Lingrong's previous life, Zhen Huan suddenly gained great favor from the emperor.

What will Zhen Huan do this time?

After some thought, An Lingrong said softly: "Sister, you must remember that the harem cannot interfere in politics!"

Zhen Huan nodded and said, "I understand this, but how this big storm will be stirred up and how we can protect ourselves still need to be considered in the long run!"

The two fell into deep thought, each of them filled with worries about the future.

……

"Empress Dowager, this Tenth Prince is becoming more and more outrageous!"

Yongzheng was sitting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and at this moment, with a gloomy face, he was discussing with the Empress Dowager how to deal with Prince Dun.

As early as when the nine princes were competing for the throne, he understood that this half-brother was not of the same kind as himself.

The other party is siding with Lao Ba!

Therefore, even after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he had to confer the title of prince on him in order to appease him, but he was always wary of Yun? in his heart.

This younger brother has always been a source of worry to him, and he must find a way to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

"Ugh……"

The Queen Mother sat aside, listening silently to her son's analysis.

As someone who had also experienced the battle for the throne among the nine princes, she naturally knew the ambition and power of the son of Imperial Concubine Wenxi.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager also understood Yongzheng's concerns.

Thinking of this, she frowned slightly, but was thinking about a countermeasure.

"Your Majesty, Prince Dun is in command of the army and has a high reputation among the clan members. You must not act rashly."

After a moment, the Queen Mother spoke slowly.

"What the Empress said is absolutely true!"

Yongzheng nodded. He understood this, which was why he asked the queen mother to discuss it.

On weekdays, the Queen Mother stayed at home and rarely went out, and she never interfered in state affairs.

But this does not mean that the Queen Mother was really just an old woman living in a large mansion. If that were the case, why was she able to survive to the end?

Yongzheng never underestimated his mother, and he knew that she was much more capable than his concubines. Otherwise, he would not have discussed it with the empress dowager.

"To be honest with you, Madam Empress, I have already sent people to secretly monitor every move of Prince Dun's mansion. As long as he does anything improper, I will never tolerate it—"

When he said this, a cold light flashed in Yongzheng's eyes.

"Forget it." The Queen Mother sighed softly, "Prince Dun is your brother after all. If this can be resolved peacefully, it would be the best."

Be a man to stay on the line and meet each other in the future.

No matter how arrogant and presumptuous Prince Dun is, he is of royal blood after all.

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he severely cracked down on the original "Eighth Master Faction", imprisoned many of his former brothers, stripped them of their titles, or expelled them from the imperial court. His methods were extremely cruel.

Because of this, there have been many rumors outside saying that he is "harsh to his brothers."

Therefore, we must be extremely careful when dealing with Prince Dun!

Yongzheng was silent for a moment, and whispered: "I hope so, but if Prince Dun is unwilling to give up his ambition, I have no choice."

Reputation is important, but the throne is more important. On this issue, he doesn't need to hesitate at all.

The Queen Mother looked at Yongzheng's determined eyes and knew that he had made up his mind. She could only advise him, "Emperor, you must be careful and do not let Prince Dun realize your intentions!"

Yongzheng nodded, "I understand, mother, you can rest assured."

The two discussed for a while, and then Yongzheng stood up and respectfully saw the empress dowager off.

The Queen Mother was right. Dealing with Prince Dun would require time and patience. Before that, he must be fully prepared.

……

On the other hand, after the Queen Mother returned to Shoukang Palace, she felt nervous and her face became gloomy when she heard Sun Zhuxi's report.

"Can't get in touch? How come I can't get in touch?"

Looking at Sun Zhuxi who also had a puzzled look on his face, the empress dowager frowned deeply.

She has been in the palace for many years, what has she not seen?

Similarly, the Queen Mother was also aware of her son's methods.

If the emperor found out about her relationship with Longkodo, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Don't be anxious, Queen Mother. Although I haven't been able to contact you, you may have other important matters to attend to!"

Seeing that the empress dowager was anxious, Sun Zhuxi hurried to comfort her.

The Queen Mother paced in the palace, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

The more times like this happen, the more you must not panic. You must stay calm in order to deal with it.

After some thought, she decided to send someone to inquire about the emperor's movements and see if there was anything unusual.

At the same time, she also asked Sun Zhuxi to continue trying to contact Longkodo, hoping to get news from him as soon as possible.

After a few days, the Queen Mother finally got the news.

It turned out that the emperor was not aware of her connection with Longkodo, but that there was something wrong with Longkodo himself.

It is said that Longkodo drank too much at a banquet a few days ago and said some things he should not have said, which were heard by the censors who were also present. They directly submitted a memorial to the emperor.

When the emperor found out about this, he was of course very angry, so he reprimanded him directly and asked him to reflect on his mistakes at home.

"It's okay!"

After learning the whole story, the Queen Mother felt relieved.

As long as the emperor doesn't catch Longkodo with any evidence against him, there won't be any big problem.
