Since then, it has been another seven or eight days.

Early that morning, the queen arrived at the Fengtian Hall. She was kneeling down on the right side of the palace, discussing something with the concubines in a low voice, when she saw Concubine Wu coming in from the outside in a hurry, followed by a familiar figure.

Upon seeing this, the concubines on the left and right hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Although the Queen was still kneeling, she reached out and patted the seat next to her, signaling Wu Guifei to quickly join the queue.

Not wanting Concubine Wu to walk over, the somewhat familiar young woman also followed suit.

"Why are you here so late again?"

While the queen complained in a low voice, she subconsciously looked at the woman, and then couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's you?!"

Immediately, he grabbed Concubine Wu and said softly: "You, why did you bring Concubine Rong out?!"

"Don't worry, sister, she is very well-behaved now."

Concubine Wu knelt down next to the queen and yawned as she said nonchalantly: "Didn't someone mention her before? I just thought I'd take her out for a walk, so that everyone wouldn't think I'm ruthless and murderous - if not

For this reason, I cannot come so late today."

Seeing how she didn't care, the Queen really didn't know what to say.

Charity is definitely out of the question, but if you want to call her ruthless, she is indeed unwilling to kill Concubine Rong. It can only be said that she is half-assed at everything, neither good nor bad.

Just this confused energy that I can’t grasp is getting stronger day by day!

Concubine Rong had pretended to be ingratiating with him before, and in the end she almost killed the prince, but she didn't know how to learn from the pain, so she let this disaster happen again.

The queen had a headache and looked at Concubine Rong who had already arrived in front of her.

No wonder she didn't recognize her at first. Concubine Rong used to have an oval face with some baby fat, but now she has slimmed down into a pointed chin and even her neck has become thinner.

Only the turbulent part didn't seem to have shrunk much, and it hung heavily under the thin and thin shoulders, which even made people worry about whether her slender waist could withstand the heavy fruits.

As soon as she thought of this, she saw Concubine Rong, who was bowing down in front of her, leaning forward, staggering and almost falling.

When the Queen subconsciously wanted to reach out to help her, she managed to steady her body, put an arm across her chest, and said in a trembling voice as if she was out of breath: "I have met the Queen."

Even though she is so thin, her face is very rosy.

The queen was originally worried that she would suddenly cause trouble, and was going to find some excuse to send her back to Zhongcui Palace, but she saw Concubine Rong obediently bowing and her posture was about to collapse in the wind.

After hesitating for a while, he finally pointed to Jia Yuanchun and said, "Just do it to sister Yuanchun."

Immediately, he hinted to Jia Yuanchun: "She has just recovered from a serious illness, so I have to trouble my sister to take care of her."

Jia Yuanchun naturally said nothing and immediately agreed respectfully.

But in fact, she was not in a good mood right now. She originally thought that when the news passed and the Queen Mother interceded for her, the matter would be over.

Who would have thought that Concubine Wu would not even give the Empress Dowager face because she was the biological mother of the prince, and she would take it back overtly or covertly.

Now Jia Yuanchun was in trouble. With the queen in the middle and coordinating the situation, even if he could not keep his privileged status in politics, at least his life would be safe.

But if Concubine Wu insists on going her own way and wants to disgrace the Queen Mother...

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but look at Jiao Shun, who was squatting beside the prince on the left side and explaining something.

Perhaps the only one I can count on now is this old servant of the Rong Mansion.

At the same time, the queen was also quietly observing Concubine Rong's condition. Firstly, she was worried that she would cause trouble, and secondly, seeing her shaky state, she was worried that she would not be able to hold on and fainted in the mourning hall.

But what surprised the queen was that after Concubine Rong knelt down and sat down, her originally critical condition immediately improved a lot. She straightened her upper body in an exaggerated manner, and sat still and unshakable, even her tight filial robes.

Even though she is so majestic, her figure cannot be shaken.

It's like being wedged on the straw mat by nails!

Was she like this before?

The queen tried hard to recall similar situations. It seemed that Concubine Rong, who was in good health at that time, could not be as stable as a mountain. She would even deliberately lean forward to complain about the burden on her chest in a showy tone.

While she was puzzled, she couldn't help but poke Concubine Wu next to her, and asked softly: "You looked so weak just now, but how come you are kneeling so firmly now?"

Concubine Wu was dozing off with her head hanging down. She was suddenly startled and looked at the queen blankly.

The queen had no choice but to repeat it again, and then she suddenly understood. She glanced at Concubine Rong who was kneeling upright, a sneer flashed at the corner of her mouth, and she said something to the queen.

The queen's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she would have almost screamed if she had not covered her mouth with her hands in time.

No wonder she was kneeling as if she was wedged on the ground. It turned out that this was not an illusion, but...

She blushed and pushed Concubine Wu, and said angrily: "You are crazy, if this is accidentally exposed..."

"Don't worry, this isn't the first time. I know it well."

Concubine Wu cut off the Queen's words and said proudly: "What do you think that thing is made of? It's the beam under the seat of her bicycle. Didn't this little bitch love to ride the bicycle to the gate of Qianqing Palace?

Are you showing off? I'll just let her ride her to her full extent!"

After hearing this, the queen turned pale with fright, and continued: "Well, how can this be done? Wouldn't it mean that the intestines and internal organs should be pierced?!"

"Oops~"

Concubine Wu waved her hand like a cat: "Where did you want to go, sister? I only had someone cut off a section and put the base upside down."

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief, but still persuaded: "This is the mourning hall after all, and the Emperor's body is not cold yet, so why not..."

"Isn't it true that my sister has never seen anything more extreme than this in the mourning hall?"

Before she could finish her words, Concubine Wu stopped her words with a wink.

Seeing that she was leading the topic to that topic again, the queen quickly turned her head away from her, feeling helpless in her heart. Since the emperor's rise, two people have become increasingly domineering and arrogant.

The first one was naturally King Zhongshun, but according to the plan he had discussed with Jiao Shun, he was nothing more than a withered bone in the grave.

The second one is Concubine Wu. Concubine Wu is even more arrogant than Prince Zhongshun. However, she is the biological mother of the prince, so no one dares to touch her easily.

"Ah, Ah sneeze!"

At this time, a loud sneeze suddenly came from outside the palace door, and everyone turned their heads in unison, wanting to see who was the person who made such an earth-shattering sound.

The Queen was no exception. She turned around and looked out the door, and saw a plump middle-aged man standing in front of the threshold rubbing his nose with a snuff bottle in his hand.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he took back the snuff bottle and said with a calm smile: "I caught wind and cold last night, my nose was a little stuffy, and I was afraid that I would miss the main thing, so... I'm really rude, rude."

He said he was being rude, but he looked so smug and didn't mean to apologize at all.

This really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here.

The queen frowned unconsciously, stretched out her hand to signal the female officer to help her stand up, and nodded slightly to the visitor: "Why is Uncle Wang here?"

If the person who comes is not King Zhongshun, who else could he be?

Seeing the queen standing up and actively greeting him, King Zhongshun smiled even more brightly, but he was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he looked around at everyone in the palace, then walked across the threshold with his robe in hand, and said: "It's not far away from the funeral of the Supreme Emperor.

It's been a few days, and I still need to ask the Queen for instructions on some matters."

He said he wanted to ask the Queen for instructions, but he walked and spoke with his head held high, but there was no trace of the etiquette of a courtier.

After just a few steps, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stiff.

Concubine Wu was originally ready to stand up after the Queen stood up, but seeing King Zhongshun being so aggressive, she hesitated and sat back down.

However, Jia Yuanchun stood up immediately and stood silently beside the queen.

Annoyance flashed in the Queen's eyes, but thinking of the countermeasures she and Jiao Shun had discussed, she finally suppressed her anger, lowered her head and said weakly: "If Uncle Wang has anything unclear, just ask the Ministry of Etiquette. If you need to buy anything extra,

It’s up to the Queen Mother to give the instructions.”

Seeing her like this, the smile on King Zhongshun's face grew wilder. He glanced at the prince who was standing with Jiao Shun, patted his forehead and said: "Yes, yes, you are young and have nothing to do.

When the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor passed away one after another, it was inevitable that things would get messed up for a while - don’t worry, with me in charge, nothing will go wrong."

With that said, he gave a cursory salute and turned around to leave.

As soon as he left, Concubine Wu immediately jumped up, stamped her feet and said: "It's so hard to live without..."

"younger sister!"

The queen hurriedly stopped her, then waved to Jiao Shun and said: "If your highness is tired, please follow me to the side hall to have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue."

With that said, he nodded to Concubine Xian De, and took Concubine Wu around the coffin and straight to the back hall.

Jiao Shun also hurriedly followed the prince.

…………

the other side.

As soon as King Zhongshun came out of the Fengtian Palace, he bumped into the anxious-looking head of the palace, Shi Zhoumo.

Zhou Mo hurriedly stepped aside to make way for him, and waited for King Zhongshun to walk a certain distance with his head held high.

Son……"

"Noisy!"

King Zhongshun turned around and glared at Zhou Mo, and then sneered: "The scholar's rebellion has not been successful for three years. Besides, is this king the king or him?"

Hearing the word "rebellion" spoken by the prince, Zhou Mo swallowed hard and buried his face in his chest without daring to say another word.

"Hmph~ Look at you, you are such a coward!"

King Zhongshun snorted disdainfully, and then said triumphantly: "You don't have to stay in the palace anymore. Go back and take the 300,000 taels of silver prepared in advance to the left camp of the Shenwu Guard as quickly as possible."

Zhou Mo was stunned, and then said happily: "Then Sun Shaozu has been transferred to the left camp of the Shenwu Guard?!"

"General Zuoying."

King Zhongshun said with his nostrils pointing to the sky: "I have sent a message, asking him to arrive in the capital before evening to take up his post."

As he said that, he raised his index finger and said: "One month, I will give him one month. Even if he cannot win over all the left camp of the Shenwu Guards, he will at least win over a group of people who dare to fight and kill."

Speaking of this, he looked like he had pearls of wisdom in his hand.

Once the situation has been stabilized, with the Dragon Guards inside and Sun Shaozu outside, the direct rebellion may still be a little short of time, but it is wishful thinking to think that they can be defeated with just a team of Dragon Guards!

And when he becomes the regent, he can use this as a foundation to encroach on military power until...

Hum ~

Since I am the direct bloodline of Emperor Sejong, how can I let Emperor Sejong be more beautiful than before?

King Zhongshun thought of beauty himself, but Zhou Mo on the side also had his thoughts moved.

He secretly thought that if the prince could finally come to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, wouldn't he become a minister of Conglong?

Thinking of this, the greed in his heart gradually outweighed the fear.

At the beginning, Jiao Shun relied on the emperor's support to humiliate him in front of him. When he became a minister of Conglong, he saw what kind of face that thief had!

The more he thought about it, the more enthusiastic he became. He simply launched a new round of public opinion offensive without waiting for King Zhongshun's orders:

So after a while, someone among the officials who abided by the rules made an impassioned speech:

"The accusations against Jiao Shun will be kept intact in the palace. I think unless King Zhongshun is the regent, the Jiao thief will continue to be rampant!"

"That's all. I'm afraid that people in the world will be short-sighted and take the shortcut to the south. No one is willing to study the knowledge of saving the world and the people."

"If this is true, we will all be sinners through the ages!"

These remarks confused some people, but more officials chose to sit on the sidelines. After all, this was the regent!

There are so many examples throughout the ages, who can guarantee that they are just temporary photos?

Especially King Zhongshun doesn't look like an honest person.

…………

Let’s go back to Fengtian Palace.

As soon as Jiao Shung entered the back hall with the prince, he heard Concubine Wu venting her emotions and asking how long the queen would continue to condone King Zhongshun, a traitor and traitor.

Tsk~

She hadn't come forward to speak just now, but now the rabbit's nest was full of guns.

While Jiao Shun was cursing in his heart, he took the initiative to step forward to help the Queen: "Don't worry, Concubine, the Queen has a plan, but you need to be lenient in anticipation of the enemy. When you are not sure whether King Zhongshun has a back-up plan, you must ensure that

Only when everything is safe can you take action.”

"What does it mean to be foolproof?"

Concubine Wu was still reluctant and said with a sneer: "Today and tomorrow, if we can't wait for the best opportunity, can't we just keep delaying it? Even if we can delay it, we are afraid that the rebellious traitors will not be able to wait first!"

Jiao Shun had no choice but to go one step further: "To be honest with you, I thought the day when the Supreme Emperor was buried was the right time to take action - of course, I have to wait until the Supreme Emperor is buried safely before taking action."

When Concubine Wu heard that it was all she had done in the past few days, her anger turned into happiness: "Okay, okay, if you do this properly, I will... Sister Queen and I will definitely not treat you badly."

As she said this, she seemed to have thought of something, rolled her eyes and snickered: "Keeping it is a benefit you can't even imagine!"
