The coldness on the emperor's face faded away, but he showed anger. He said in a dissatisfied tone: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. She, a little concubine who came out of the prime minister's house, can be your concubine. She has already reached a high level, and she is still trying to climb the ladder."
To take the position of your concubine is really unthinkable."
Dugu Lin felt relieved. It was obvious that the emperor believed his words, and he immediately felt bitter in his mouth. His words could not withstand consideration. He is the current prince, and there are many secret guards around him. How can he be a prime minister?
A small concubine with a large fortune could easily make calculations, but the emperor believed his words without even the slightest refutation.
For the emperor to act like this, doesn't this give him a signal - the emperor has never regarded him as a candidate for succession. Otherwise, instead of being angry at Lin Qingxi for plotting against him, he should be furious and investigate thoroughly who plotted against him?
The emperor's behavior was a signal to him - the emperor had never regarded him as a candidate for succession. Otherwise, instead of being angry at Lin Qingxi for plotting against him, he should be furious and investigate thoroughly who plotted against him.
Does he have a good reputation?
He has never been the candidate for succession in the eyes of the emperor. Perhaps his reputation was ruined, which relieved the emperor and better supported the candidate in his heart. Dugulin fully understood it, and his heart slowly sank.
When he arrived at the valley, his face became more and more respectful as he knelt down, looking deeply introspective.
The emperor rubbed his temples with a tired expression: "Father believes that you have been framed. Please step aside and let Father think carefully."
Dugulin's tone seemed to be filled with shame: "It's all useless for me. For such a big man, he can't even evade such a scheme. He also drags his father into cleaning up the mess for me. I'm ashamed of myself."
The emperor comforted him with a kind expression: "A horse may stumble, a man may make a mistake, he may make a plan without intending it. You are a tiger, and you may take a nap sometimes. Go ahead, go ahead, don't think too much, my father is here!"
The more loving the emperor was, the more disappointed Dugu Lin felt. His heart felt like it was half-immersed in ice water, his feet felt cold, and he retreated with a dejected look on his face.
The emperor looked at Dugu Lin's helpless back, rubbed his eyebrows, and walked back and forth in the imperial study: After all, his aunt and nephew's death was not a trivial matter. If he wanted to settle the matter, he had to think of a perfect solution.
Outside the Imperial Study Room, Empress Mengfei came in with graceful steps, the wind blew, and her clothes were fluttering. Even the eunuch chief who was used to seeing beauties of all kinds couldn't help showing admiration. He stepped forward with a smile and bowed: "Come, empress."
Yes, I will lead you in right now."
Concubine Meng smiled softly and exhaled like orchid: "No need, I will go in alone, please leave!" After saying that, she swayed into the imperial study room.
The chief eunuch withdrew with a smile and allowed Concubine Meng to enter. It would be a death penalty for ordinary people to enter the imperial study without notification. However, Concubine Meng was the emperor's darling. This was a special favor bestowed by the emperor. Naturally, she could not
Comparable.
The emperor's frowning eyebrows immediately relaxed when he saw his beloved concubine approaching. He came towards her and said with all kinds of pity: "Why is my beloved concubine here? It's sunny outside. If anything happens, let me know.
All you need to do is report it."
Concubine Meng smiled softly and put down the food box in her hand: "The spring is bright and it's a good thing to go out for a walk. I heard that the emperor didn't use much today, so I was worried, so I asked the small kitchen to prepare some food for the emperor.
Send it."
The emperor couldn't bear to refuse the beauty's kindness, so he took Concubine Meng to have a meal in the outside room. Concubine Meng served the dishes tenderly and sweetly, and asked casually: "I just came in and saw the emperor frowning, but there is something wrong
