When the news of Duke Chen Li Yuanzhe being ordered to quell the chaos reached the harem, Duan Concubine Duan was personally making the fifth prince happy. When he heard the words "Duke Chen Li Yuanzhe", his hand, which had been shaking the rattle, stopped immediately, and he couldn't believe it.
Glancing his eyes wide.
"Shaoyao, is this news true?" Duan Fei asked in a deep voice. The palace maid Shaoyao nodded and replied in a low voice: "It's true, that's the imperial edict issued by the emperor himself, and Duke Chen has also been ordered to go to pacify the emperor.
It's messy..."
With a "pa" sound, the rattle in Concubine Duan finally fell to the ground. The fifth prince, who had been holding in her arms, saw that his things were gone, and kept calling out, Concubine Duan kept calling.
Unconsciously, he kept shaking his head and said, "Impossible... How could the Emperor let the Li family inherit the position of Duke Chen again and let him quell the rebellion!"
The palace maid Shaoyao was also a little uneasy. Li Yuanzhe was once the prince of Duke Chen, who was both literary and military, and he heard that he was brave and good at fighting. If such a person went to quell the rebellion, if General Anxi and the governor of Yongzhou were defeated, wouldn’t their last hope be lost?
?!
"Empress, what should we do? I heard that Li Yuanzhe is very powerful. If he really wins..." Shaoyao said nervously, and before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Concubine Duan.
"No matter how powerful he is, can he still compete with the joint efforts of General Anxi and the governor of Yongzhou?" Concubine Duan glared at Shaoyao and scolded with a calm face: "Not to mention that he has been silent for so long, even if he is Duke Chen again, he will not be able to do so.
You will definitely win!"
"But..." Shaoyao wanted to say something, but Concubine Duan did not allow her to question anymore. She said coldly: "Yongzhou is high and far away, easy to defend but difficult to attack, not to mention that General Zheng Youliang of Anxi is here, what are you afraid of?
Want to gain ambition and destroy your own prestige?"
Shaoyao was so scared that she lowered her head: "I don't dare!"
Concubine Duan snorted coldly and said gritting her teeth: "I just didn't expect that Li Yuanzhe was still alive, and the emperor actually wanted to grant him Duke Chen!"
"It seems that the emperor did not kill the Li family in person..." Shaoyao looked at Concubine Duan's expression carefully, not daring to anger her master again.
"Hmph, when the uprising is successful this time, I will successfully guarantee the fifth prince to ascend the throne. I must kill the Li family!" Concubine Duan said angrily, and the fierce and murderous intent flashed in her eyes made Shaoyao suck in secret.
A breath of air conditioning.
The fifth prince, who had pulled Duan Fei's sleeve for a long time in his cradle, saw that no one was paying attention, and the rattle was on the ground, and finally burst into tears.
Concubine Duan noticed the fifth prince in her arms, but she had no intention of comforting her. She asked Shaoyao to carry her over and said, "Shaoyao, if you coax him, I have some headaches..."
Shaoyao nodded quickly and asked the palace maids beside him to pick up the rattle on the ground. While shaking the rattle, he coaxed the fifth prince. Unexpectedly, the fifth prince was unwilling to stop when he started crying, and the crying became louder and louder.
Concubine Duan was frustrated by the crying of the fifth prince and said impatiently: "Shaoyao, why can't you coax a child?"
Shaoyao felt a little aggrieved and explained helplessly: "I don't know what happened to the fifth prince today, I cried..."
What else does Concubine Duan want to say, and the eunuch in charge of Jinghua Palace reported loudly: "The Concubine is here--"
Concubine Duan was stunned, then frowned and said, "What are Concubine Lu doing here?"
