”The Crown Prince has come to my presence. I won't eat you. Why is it that the Crown Prince is always avoiding me like this?”

Zhu Youtang was already ten years old, and had already become the crown prince of Da Ming for four years. Although Zhu Youtang hated the Consort Wan to death in his heart, he was still unable to escape from his master's discipline.

”Thank you Imperial Concubine for your gift.” Zhu Youtang stopped himself from doing anything as he received the Peach Blossom Soup. Although he did not dare to eat too much, he still took three bites.

When the Consort Wan saw Zhu You's lowered head, she immediately became bored.

”Why are you not scared? Am I such a malicious person? It was boring, not fun at all. He didn't have the courage from when he was young. ”It's really boring. It's not as interesting as my Tiger Head. Return to the palace.” The tiger head of the Consort Wan was a vicious dog used by eunuchs to coax the Consort Wan.

Zhu Youtang knew that he could not resist, and her Consort Wan was deeply favored and doted upon by his royal father. The officials from the previous dynasty had all said that this wicked woman was the evil demon of a country, and that she should be killed for her beauty. Only, thinking about how his own royal father, Zhu Jianshen, had disregarded the words of the imperial court and insisted on making the Wan his imperial concubine. Thinking about what Former Empress Wu said, Zhu Youtang still chose to endure.

Returning back to the An'an Palace, where the Empress Dowager Zhou was located, Zhu Youtang did not dare to tell the Empress Dowager Zhou what happened today. It was funny, the crown prince of Great Ming Dynasty had already become a member of the imperial harem. They could only live under the protection of the empress dowager. Zhu Youtang swore that he would never be able to live with the Wan again.

”Mistress, you have to use something soft to cover your stomach.” Now that the Imperial Physician Luo did not come, Du Li did not dare to let Zhu Youtang eat. They were afraid that Consort Wan would really use the medicine, and that she would make Zhu Youtang's death the greatest pleasure.

felt that these servants were even more naive than him. They were still fresh in the palace when they were servants at the Venerable Life Palace. Compared to the cold palace, this was nothing.

Former Empress Wu had always emphasized in the West Palace that he was only able to live until now because of Buddha's blessing. After the emperor ascended the throne, the imperial harem was under the control of the Wan. Although the Emperor of the Crown's mother did not like Wan Zhener, because she, the older emperor was seventeen years old and was born a palace lady.

However, the mother can no longer change her mind as the Emperor's son.

Empress Dowager Zhou was the well-deserved empress dowager, but among the women of the imperial harem, there was still one Wan Zhener who wanted to oppose the Empress Dowager Zhou. Whenever the two fought, the Emperor Zhu Jianshen would always side with his beloved concubine. Instead, he had agreed to that sentence, and now that he had a wife, he forgot about his mother.

Because of this, Empress Dowager Zhou treated Consort Wan as a thorn in his side, the thorn in his flesh could not wait to be pulled out quickly.

Therefore, whenever Wan Zhener disliked it, the Empress Dowager Zhou would be willing to help. This meant that the Consort Wan wanted his to die, and the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted her to live in the Tzu Ning Palace.

It's both right and wrong, Zhu Jianshen was not stupid. No matter if it was a filial act or as a man, Zhu Jianshen could not just sit by and watch helplessly as his successor left him. So when Empress Dowager Zhou spoke out, Zhu Jianshen did as he was told.

Zhu Youtang thought about what Zhang Min had told him before he died.

There were few sons in the palace, and it had been more than seven years since the emperor had ascended to the throne. It was not that Empress Dowager Zhou did not know that Consort Wan had secretly harmed her grandson.

However, since the Emperor wanted to protect such a wicked woman, the Empress Dowager Zhou was unwilling to force his son into a corner. In the end, they could only secretly protect their beloved concubines, hoping that a woman would give birth to a grandson for them. ”

A few years ago, there was only one child in the palace, born from the Chen Fei s of three years of maturation. She was the eldest son of the emperor in name, and the empress dowager had named him Zhu Youji. was Zhu Youtang's big brother, but she wasn't the emperor's first child.

The Emperor's first child was born in the Consort Wan. Born two years old, and died three days old.

All these years later in the palace, there were still many sons of the emperor. However, Wan Zhener was a venomous woman. As long as one was a concubine in the palace with good looks, and was doted on by the Emperor, no one would be able to protect their child.

Whether it was due to Wan Zhener's miscarriage with medicine, or due to Wan Zhener's conspiracy, they had all died. In short, the only thing that could be born was the Second Prince, and it was the result of Empress Dowager Zhou risking his life to protect him. Consort Wan's methods were even more vicious after her child died.

Consort Wan hated her concubine even more, and Empress Dowager Zhou provided even more protection for his. However, there were still Empress Dowager Zhou s that could not be taken into account, so quite a few princes died young. But even so, Zhu Jianshen still turned a blind eye to the Consort Wan's actions.

After knowing that Zhu Jianshen would not be able to rely on himself, Empress Dowager Zhou no longer hoped for his son.

”Zhang Min, the Wailing Home has ordered you to protect the Ji Clan's stomach. You cannot disappoint the Wailing Home. Right now, the Wailing Home is counting on the Ji Clan's belly. That evil woman, Wan, actually dares to harm your son, Wailing Home, and definitely won't allow it. ”

Regarding Wan Zhener, the Empress Dowager Zhou must be on guard, so even if Ji Yune was sent to the cold palace, she still had to be on guard. The Empress Dowager Zhou was still secretly arranging people to protect the Ji Clan. After all, Ji Yune was a Yao Clan princess.

But in the end, it was different from the Consort Xian, it had nothing to do with the empress dowager. Even if the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to protect the Ji clan, there was no reason. Empress Dowager Zhou would never do something that has no master.
