At this time, Qing Yi, who was being talked about by Qiao Jinhuan and Tao Hong, sneezed and rubbed his nose, walking on the busy street.
She looked at the people passing by and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
She had not been out of the palace for many years and had never seen such a lively scene.
But soon, her eyes turned cold, she held a jade pendant tightly in her hand, and asked for directions to the door of Prince Su's Mansion.
The main door of Prince Su's Mansion was closed tightly, and a side door was opened for people to come in and out. There were two men standing at the door, with their backs straight and their eyes like tigers and wolves staring at the people coming and going.
Qing Yi stepped forward and handed out the jade pendant in his hand, "I would like to ask you two to inform me that an old friend from the palace is visiting."
When the two men saw Qing Yi's obviously pampered temperament and the words "old friend in the palace", they responded politely and walked in to find Chu Ji with their jade pendants.
At this time, Chu Ji was still in the study.
In the same study room with him were two other ministers, Yao Ziyi, the Minister of Rites, and Wucheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War.
The two of them had anxious looks on their faces, and their mouths were a little dry. They had talked too much just now, and now they were holding tea and pouring it into their mouths without caring about politeness.
"My lord, it has been two months, but the court has not appointed a new king. If this continues, won't Concubine Qiao be preparing to take the throne herself and change the dynasty?"
Yao Shangshu moistened his throat and continued.
Wu Shangshu nodded beside him, "Yes, my lord, why do you just refuse? In this current situation, not only the two lower officials, but also the entire civil and military officials of the dynasty are looking forward to your ascension to the throne."
"That's enough."
Chu Ji looked at them coldly, "I don't want to steal the throne from my nephew and leave a reputation in the history books for bullying orphans and widowed mothers."
"But, who knows whether the concubine is carrying a boy or a girl? If she gives birth to a daughter, will the prince also have to watch her ascend the throne?"
"If it were a daughter, I would naturally take over the throne."
Phew~
After hearing these words, the two ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
They were just afraid that King Su would not ascend the throne. As long as the other party let go, the country would still be saved.
The concubine estimates that she will give birth in more than a month.
After waiting for more than two months, it is not impossible to bite the bullet and endure the concubine's hand. When she gives birth and then does confinement, the power of the government has already fallen into the hands of King Su.
"You all please be patient with me, and don't make any more excuses to torment the imperial concubine. If anything goes wrong with her during this pregnancy, I will not be able to spare you."
Thinking of the increasing number of discounts recently, Chu Ji couldn't help but gave them a few warnings.
This is really strange to say.
Prince Su...why does he seem to care so much about the imperial concubine?
The two ministers thought to themselves and naturally responded one after another.
At this time, the housekeeper walked in quickly, handed the jade pendant to Chu Ji, and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is a woman outside who claims to be an old friend of the palace who wants to see you."
Old friends in the palace!
King Su looked again and saw that the jade pendant in his hand was engraved with a phoenix - could it be that Jin Huan had left the palace?
He immediately became nervous and said, "Invite people in quickly."
Then he quickly sent the two ministers away.
The two ministers looked at each other and got up and left knowingly. However, after leaving Prince Su's Mansion, they couldn't help but look at each other with subtle eyes.
"What the butler said just now is..."
"Old friend in the palace?"
"I heard earlier that the imperial concubine had some friendship with Prince Su before she entered the palace."
"It is a great opportunity, but King Su has repeatedly postponed his enthronement. What he has shown in the past is not that he is not greedy for power..."
"Hiss~"
"Ha~"
The two ministers looked at each other again, and both saw the panic in the other's eyes.
"No, it can't be?" Wu Shangshu shook his hands and kept swallowing his saliva.
"This, this is simply against ethics and morals, and..."
"Do you dare to say it?"
Wu Shangshu's question made Yao Shangshu shut up.
Dare you?
Who dares?
Now it seems that Qiao Jinhuan and Chu Ji are the ones making the final decision in the court. If he dares to tell such a shameful thing, all nine of his clans will be reunited underground.
"My officer, I don't know anything."
After a long while, Yao Shangshu responded.
But don’t they just know nothing? This is just their guess at most, and naturally it cannot be spread out.
"Yes, I don't know either."
Wu Shangshu also agreed, and then in a tacit understanding, after returning, he repeatedly beat the people in his faction and told them to be quiet and stop causing trouble for the imperial concubine.
Just looking at how much Prince Su pays attention to the piece of meat in the imperial concubine’s belly, it’s not necessarily clear whose seed the little guy is.
If they cause trouble, King Su can't kill them all?
Of course, these are all far off.
At this time, Chu Ji was still waiting for the housekeeper to bring the person in, but when he saw the simple Tsing Yi, he couldn't help but frowned, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"What do you want from me?"
It's not that he wants to meet people, so his attitude is naturally not much better.
Qing Yi heard this and sneered, "Prince Su, I'm here to remind you, don't be unaware that your death is coming."
Death is approaching?
"What are you talking about?"
Chu Ji didn't even bother to talk to her, "If nothing happens, you can go back to the palace."
"Prince Su, do you know how the imperial concubine obtained the help of the queen mother?"
"The king is not interested in this."
"Yeah?"
Qing Yi raised the corners of his lips with mockery in his eyes, "I think King Su was knocked unconscious. He doesn't know that the person you sleep with is a vicious and vicious snake, right?"
He stared at Qing Yi solemnly, with a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Qing Yi was not afraid at all, and was even in the mood to find a place for herself to sit down.
Chu Ji turned to look at the housekeeper.
The butler lowered his head and left.
Fortunately, Chu Ji was worried that it was Qiao Jinhuan who came, so he didn't leave anyone else in the room. Otherwise, after hearing Qing Yi's words, those people would have no choice but to go see King Yama.
"I know that Jin Huan is very capable, so what? Just like me, isn't she forced by your master and the Qiao family?"
Chu Ji looked at Qing Yi coldly, "You want to sow discord in front of me, huh, what a wishful thinking."
Qing Yi's pupils shrank.
She didn't expect that Chu Ji would actually have true feelings for Qiao Jinhuan?
But so what~
"Then do you know that when the imperial concubine knelt in front of the Queen Mother, she raised her hands and swore that she would kill you in this life?"
Must... kill him?
Chu Ji tightened his hands slightly, but said sarcastically: "It's just a way to deceive your master."
"Prince Su is always smart, how could he not think that these are the true words of the noble concubine? Your existence is a shame to the noble concubine. If you live for a day, the concubine will think of how she humbled herself to ask for your blessing, and even sold her body in exchange for it.
The power in hand."
"Do you think you can survive?"
"The imperial concubine is so vicious that she doesn't even care about her blood relatives. How can she care for you? Once the child is born, it won't matter if it's a girl. The imperial concubine still needs you to stabilize the court; if it's a boy, you will definitely die!"
