Chapter 394 Xiao Ce cannot be allowed to become emperor
Concubine Wu was eavesdropping on the conversation between Xiao Ce and Dr. Feng. She didn't want Xiao Ce to discover her traces. She straightened her posture and walked out, looking arrogantly and saying: "I just heard that the emperor has a headache and came to visit the emperor.
, Your Majesty, don’t even think about blaming me."
"How did your father faint? You will know once you ask him."
As soon as Xiao Ce said this, Concubine Wu's expression changed. But she was confused. The emperor's fainting was indeed because of her, and the emperor also woke up. If we really wanted to investigate, she would not be able to escape the involvement.
"From today on, Concubine Wu is not allowed to step into the Yangxin Hall without Gu's permission until her father, Emperor Long, is healthy." Xiao Ce ordered coldly.
Everyone in the Yangxin Hall did not dare to go against Xiao Ce's wishes and responded in unison.
When Concubine Wu saw Xiao Ce giving the order, her hands and feet suddenly became cold.
If the emperor's health cannot recover, then won't she never be able to see him again?
The emperor was her biggest supporter in the harem. Without the emperor as her backer, she, a noble concubine, would be nothing.
The moment she walked out of the Yangxin Hall, she was still in shock.
She suddenly discovered that as long as the emperor had a problem, Xiao Ce would ascend the throne. When Xiao Ce became the emperor, even if she became a concubine, there would be no place for her in the harem.
No, Xiao Ce cannot be allowed to become emperor, she has to prevent this from happening.
But how can she stop it?
Xiao Ce, the crown prince, was not only respected in the palace, but also had great reputation among the people. The civil and military officials respected the prince as much as the emperor.
Besides the prince, who else can become the emperor of Da Qi?
The third prince? How old is that child? The third prince’s biological mother is not allowed to appear on the stage.
Prince An? He is also a prince who only loves beauties and not the country. He spends all day hanging out with his beautiful concubines in his palace, but he is nothing but Adou who cannot afford to support her.
She quickly remembered that there was another prince, the emperor's younger brother - King Chu.
The King of Chu was in his fiefdom of Chuzhou, and he was an ambitious man. A few days ago, I heard that the King of Chu wanted to go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit, but he was rejected by the suspicious emperor.
If the news that the emperor is seriously ill is sent to the King of Chu, the King of Chu will lead his troops into Kyoto in the name of King Qin...
After returning to Jinyang Palace, Concubine Wu was still thinking about what benefits she, the concubine, could get if King Chu replaced Xiao Ce as emperor. But after thinking about it, she found that she had no friendship with King Chu.
Moreover, she also had to consider the situation where the King of Chu could not defeat the Crown Prince.
No matter how she calculated, she felt that King Chu could not win against the crown prince. The Wu family would be implicated and the execution of the nine clans would be inevitable, so she did not dare to take risks easily.
Seeing that Concubine Wu was still unwilling to give up, Aunt Zhong knelt down and begged: "Concubine Wu, please must not have a rebellious heart. Not to mention that the emperor is still alive, even if the emperor dies one day, according to the ability of His Highness, the King of Chu will never
He will be the opponent of His Highness the Crown Prince, so you have to think carefully about the Wu family and think twice before you act!"
Concubine Wu clenched her fists: "It's only my fault that I couldn't give birth to a prince. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation. After so many years, I still haven't found out the bitch who caused my miscarriage.
Who is it? If we can’t find out that person, I will die in peace.”
"Your Majesty, please don't say such unfavorable words." Aunt Zhong spat hastily.
Seeing that Aunt Zhong was still kneeling on the ground, Concubine Wu stepped forward to help her up: "That's it, I listen to you."
She also knew that King Chu's ambition alone was not enough. In terms of means, King Chu was no match for the prince. If she was not 90% sure of such a thing, she would not dare to take action without permission.
Fortunately, Dr. Feng also said that the emperor is fine for the time being. He just needs to rest for a few days and not be irritated again and he will get better.
As long as the emperor is alive, she will still have time to plan.
"Didn't the empress intend to support Qin Shuang? If Qin Shuang becomes the crown prince, he will definitely be grateful to the imperial concubine in the future. Even if the prince ascends the throne, Qin Shuang will protect the imperial concubine. It is better for the imperial concubine to spend more time on Qin Shuang, and there will be a future.
Good reward." Aunt Zhong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Concubine Wu had given up the idea of joining forces with the King of Chu.
"Qin Shuang's everything else is fine, but her background is a bit poor. As a businessman's daughter, she can't get on the stage." Concubine Wu shook her head and sighed.
It's a pity that she has the power, but she can't help out a useful chess piece. In the end, she can only make plans for the Qin family.
"Isn't there Princess Ronghui who is pulling the strings? With Princess Ronghui supporting Qin Shuang, it won't be difficult for Qin Shuang to become the Crown Princess." While speaking, Aunt Zhong brought a cup of tea to Concubine Wu.
.
Concubine Wu took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and then said: "The next step is to see whether Qin Shuang can succeed. Keep an eye on what's going on at Princess Ronghui's mansion, and leave the palace when necessary.
Meet Qin Shuang and give her some advice. It’s a pity that I shouldn’t come forward, otherwise I can let Qin Shuang stay in the palace for a few days to give her a chance to meet the prince."
It happened that the prince didn't like her and had an old grudge with her. If he knew that Qin Shuang had close contact with her, the prince would probably vent his anger on Qin Shuang and kick Qin Shuang out of the list of prince concubines early.
"Don't worry, old slave. I'll give Qin Shuang some advice when necessary, but I'll put it aside first." Aunt Zhong agreed one by one.
After the emperor suddenly fell ill, Concubine Wu did not dare to see the emperor no matter how dissatisfied she was. She was afraid that something might happen to the emperor. She had not yet completed the layout, and the emperor could not have anything bad at this time.
Without Concubine Wu to disrupt the situation, Concubine Shu would naturally take on the responsibility of handling all the matters related to the new year.
This is the first time that she has presided over the affairs of the harem since she was named Concubine Shu. In the past, Concubine Wu was on top of her, so it was not her turn to intervene during holidays and festivals.
Of course, Concubine Shu was happy but also unhappy because Qin Zhao, a little good lady, was actually assigned by the Queen Mother to help her deal with such an important matter.
How many years had she endured before she had such an opportunity?
Who is Qin Zhao? A small Liangdi actually has the opportunity to deal with such a big thing. The Queen Mother is probably old and confused. Things are huge in her old age. If anything goes wrong, Qin Zhao cannot afford it.
For this reason, she decided to go to Cihe Palace to ask the Queen Mother to withdraw her order for Qin Zhao to assist her.
After saying goodbye, Concubine Shu explained her intention.
The Queen Mother's expression showed no emotion or anger, but she did not answer immediately.
Concubine Shu had always been a little afraid of the Queen Mother. Just when she was worried, the Queen Mother finally spoke: "The Ai family was afraid that you would be too busy, so they found someone to help you. Girl Zhao is smart and belongs to her family.
Man, you can rest assured using her. You have to know that this is your first time presiding over such a big event, wouldn't it be a good thing to have one more person to help?"
Under the gaze of the Queen Mother, Concubine Shu swallowed back everything she said: "I will obey the Queen Mother's arrangements."
She is not used to rejecting people, and the person in front of her is the Queen Mother, so this matter can only end here.
