The more Shen Zhao thought about it, the more it made sense. Concubine Dong was of Prince Li's bloodline.

If another prince is born, he will inevitably be bewitched by King Li's former followers, which will have an adverse impact on the country.

[Gua Gua, I didn’t expect this.]

The emperor's uncle acted decisively and efficiently when necessary.

Alas, if Concubine Dong Xian was knowledgeable and sensible, the emperor's uncle would definitely treat her well out of guilt. Glory and wealth are just around the corner. Concubine Dong Xian is not living up to expectations.]

Shen Zhao sighed as he spoke.

This attitude made Guagua speechless, and it interrupted very quickly,

[The host is not Emperor Yongning.]

If Emperor Yongning knew that you thought about him this much, you would be in trouble. 】

Shen Zhao rolled his eyes. She was clearly praising him. Okay!

Unfortunately, Emperor Yongning did not appreciate it.

After hearing Shen Zhao mention the suspect, he was so scared that he coughed several times, as if he was choked.

The Queen grumbled, "It's obvious that you don't want her to get pregnant because you're afraid she'll take your throne in the future.

I am still worried that the blame will be put on me. How unfair! "

Emperor Yongning was puzzled.

The queen was sitting there quietly, but suddenly she looked at him and saw that his nose was not a nose, and she rolled her eyes at him several times.

Finally, Emperor Yongning could no longer sit still.

He didn't hesitate to glare at the queen, and just happened to catch the rolling eyes, and lightly rebuked,

"Queen, pay attention!"

Concubine Shu noticed it. Since she heard about Concubine Dong Xian, she had been paying attention to the two most honorable people at the table.

It was rare for Concubine Shu to say, "Your Majesty, you are too fierce.

The Queen has done nothing wrong, how can you scold her?"

The other concubines also looked disapproving, perhaps because they felt that the emperor was too cruel to "order people to drug" and it was rare for the concubines to stand on the same front.

After Guagua clarified, Emperor Yongning glanced at those people one by one with a cold look.

Guagua continued,

【The host is actually Empress Dowager Su.】

Although Empress Dowager Su loved Concubine Dong, she was ultimately the only bloodline of Prince Li.

At that time, some of Li Wang's former subordinates fled to the people, waiting to make a comeback.

Concubine Dong is pregnant, which means she has Prince Li's grandson. The bloodline of a rebel cannot be tolerated in the world.

At that time, Empress Dowager Su wanted to raise a child with a low-ranking concubine for Concubine Dong to raise, but biological blood was impossible.

All of this was done without the knowledge of Emperor Yongning. 】

Shen Zhao didn't know what to say. This was Concubine Dong's own choice.

If Concubine Dong knew that her own bloodline could not enter the palace, would she regret plotting to get Emperor Yongning into the palace?

Shen Zhao shook his head and put aside the idea of ​​Concubine Dong.

Talking with Guagua about the gossip about other concubines with relish, one can only say that the concubines would use all means to win favor.

For example, this concubine wore a cool dance costume and danced in the small attic of the imperial garden in the cold weather.

That Zhaoyi knelt in the Xuemei Tower all night, praying for the country, the emperor, and the people.

There was also Concubine Rou who spent half a month expressing her feelings to the emperor through poetry, in which she expressed her endless love.

...

Shen Zhao sighed repeatedly after hearing this, saying that Emperor Yongning was truly blessed, as so many beauties were just for him.

After eating the melon, Shen Zhao slipped away on the pretext of visiting Empress Dowager Su.

On the way, Shen Zhao wrote all the information about the third prince on paper and projected it onto the center of the table through the window of the imperial study, making sure that Emperor Yongning would be able to see it as soon as he sat down.

On the way back, Shen Zhao was still muttering,

[Gua Gua, there were guards patrolling outside the imperial study before, and many eunuchs were serving there, so why didn’t I see anyone just now?

The imperial study was like an empty room, and anyone could enter without any hindrance.

This won't do. If a thief comes to steal something, I'll have to talk to my uncle about the importance of guarding the Imperial Study. 】

Guagua echoed, [Yes, yes, it’s a pity that what we did was not a bad thing, but a good thing]

The secret guards guarding in the dark corner of the imperial study: Actually, we are not here to eat and do nothing, we are very powerful!

The next day, important news came from the palace.

The queen's fetus was illegitimate, and she treated the royal bloodline as a joke, which violated palace rules and was disrespectful to the emperor. She was punished to be confined to her house for three months, and the power of the palace was divided into two and given to Concubine Lou and Concubine Shu.

Some people said mysteriously that the queen knelt down in public and cried about her grievances, but the emperor found evidence and threw it in the queen's face on the spot. This was the first time that the emperor was so angry with the queen. It was very scary.

As for the senior palace maid beside the queen, she was taken into custody on the charge of instigating the queen and plotting to murder the concubines, and her case would be tried on a later date.

But this is just a small matter, and no one cares about the life of the palace maid.

In addition to the news that the Queen's power had fallen into the hands of others, everyone was also talking about the news that the Third Prince had suddenly died.

Not only was the prince's mansion sealed off, but many boxes filled with gold, silver and treasures were also pressed out from inside, a total of more than thirty boxes.

What is even more shocking is that the homes of five or six third-rank and second-rank ministers in the court were also raided and their entire families were executed. It is said that before their death, they were still cursing the third prince and a person called the Saint.

Shocking news like this was still circulating, and there was a small reshuffle in both the court and the harem, and Emperor Yongning had a stronger control over it.

Everyone felt uneasy at the morning court the next day, and all had sullen faces.

Shen Zhao asked in confusion, "Guagua, why do I feel like these people are looking at me in strange ways? Is there something wrong with my makeup today?"

It is worth mentioning that Shen Zhao went to court today without any makeup on.

He stayed up too long reading a storybook last night, and when he was half conscious this morning, Shen Zhao started to dance and wouldn't let anyone get close to him whenever a maid came near him.

Princess Sheng had no choice but to wait until Shen Zhao calmed down, and the time for the morning court session had already arrived.

Shen Zhao hurriedly washed his face, changed into his official uniform, and got on the carriage.

Therefore, Shen Zhao felt that the way those officials looked at her must have been because they noticed that she looked particularly haggard today.

Shen Zhao was very sad and wailed,

[Gua Gua, give me a melon, make me happy.]

These adults are not polite at all, so don't blame me for eating melons. 】

Shen Zhao smiled like a villain, and all the officials were trembling with fear.

They were all blaming each other: Why were you staring at Princess Zhaoming today? You must have been discovered!

The two looked at each other and both sighed.

I can only pray silently that he will not be chosen.

[Okay, host.]

Today I will tell you the story of Lan Yuntian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
