After Empress Dowager Zhou knew that he had been schemed against, he had already figured out what the best course of action was. Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhou immediately went to look for Qing Fang.

The result was obvious. Not only was it unsatisfactory. Furthermore, most of the information that Qing Fang obtained after his transformation three years ago was fake. On the other side, the Palace Bureau in charge of the harem did not notice this.

Zhu Jianshen did not dare say anything, and could only watch as Empress Dowager Zhou got angry at Palace Bureau. The Palace Bureau s that were promoted up to the level of Palace Shang naturally suffered at the first moment.

When the Empress Dowager Yi died, this Palace Bureau was already filled with people. Empress Dowager Zhou didn't know how he should act. After waiting for so many years, he finally had a chance.

”This kid is worth teaching.”

The Former Empress Wu explained this matter to Zhu Youtang in detail, bit by bit. ”Between the laws of the Great Clarity Palace and cleaning up the Consort Wan, the empress dowager can only choose one. It could also be said that the empress dowager no longer has any other choice. ”

After the Consort Wan made up a lie for Qing Fang, the only thing that the Empress Dowager Zhou could choose was the Great Law.

Empress Dowager Zhou could not find Qing Fang's family members, so it could be said that Empress Dowager Zhou had entered the game early in the morning. Using Qing Fang's family as a threat, the Consort Wan was naturally able to make Qing Fang listen to his words. Moreover, Qing Fang had a relationship with the Consort Wan before.

During Qing Fang's most difficult time, when Qing Fang's family members asked for silver coins to treat Qing Fang's brother's illness, the money was given by Wan Zhener. This kind of kindness, not to mention the kindness that the Consort Wan had requested for him not to accompany Qing Fang in death, before he was buried, had also been added with the fact that the Consort Wan had requested for him to not die with Qing Fang.

”So this is the most sensible plan, to use kindness to win over people's hearts. Now, even if Qing Fang died for the Consort Wan, he would die willingly with all his heart. So much so that Qing Fang's family would even think that Qing Fang made a mistake. But, the Consort Wan saved his family's lives. ”

”He's not that stupid, but he reacted so quickly.” The Former Empress Wu said, and handed over the rose cake Cai Xiang had brought on the table to Zhu Youtang, ”Try out the new pastries Cai Xiang has made, and see if you like them.”

It was getting more and more common for Master and disciple to live in peace. Zhu Youtang studied diligently beside Former Empress Wu, if there were things he did not understand, he would ask them. Ji Yune's life in the West Palace was finally going to be easier.

The Wan had single-handedly set Qing Fang up to break the laws of the Great Clarity Palace, forcing him to choose to execute Qing Fang in order to protect the law. Just one move was enough to lure the tiger out of its lair and cover the sky and cross the sea, and it had saved Qing Fang's family, allowing him to willingly die for the Consort Wan.

In terms of intelligence, there were very few people who could become the Consort Wan's opponent. Empress Dowager Zhou could not choose to execute Qing Fang and would still be able to find Qing Fang's family to vent his hatred.

And now that Qing Fang was dead, the person who could testify against Consort Wan was dead. The way to go, her death, was originally not part of Zhang Min's plan. The cup of wine that Zhang Min sent to the prison was simply wine. In the end, this simple cup of wine had cost him her life.

With one move, even if he died without any proof, the Empress Dowager Zhou could not do anything to him.

The Consort Wan had personally arranged for people to execute the people they knew. Zhang Min had even become suspicious because he had been to the prison. Fortunately, He Da found evidence in the end to prove that Zhang Min was innocent. The food on the table had been drugged.

However, the food box found was not part of the prison. It was a dead end. The clue ended just like that, and only Qing Fang could prove that the Consort Wan had arranged for someone to kill the entire Prince Tzu.

For this plan, no one knew how long the Consort Wan had been scheming. Even if Empress Dowager Zhou was unwilling, it was still a good thing for him to be able to find out that there was a mistake in Palace Bureau and take his back.

Without the Palace Bureau, the Consort Wan would lose a lot of money. At the same time, because everything originated from the creation of the Palace Bureau. So, Empress Dowager Zhou being in charge of Palace Bureau was unfavorable for Palace Bureau, so he confined Consort Wan for three months and received a penalty of three years.

This could be considered a small victory!

However, there were plenty of people in the harem who were dissatisfied with this result. For example, Prince Tzu's birth mother, or a Shao Chen Fei with a prince. Even the Empress Dowager Zhou himself, as well as the Empress Wang who never asked about the affairs of the Emperor.

”Empress Chen Fei, why are you here again? If Consort Wan knew, it would not be good. ” Zhu Youtang did not expect that this time, not only did the Shao Chen Fei come herself, she even brought her little brother here.

The crown prince of the imperial harem was young, while the princess had never had one. Not to mention that Zhu Youtang lived in the West Palace, so children rarely saw him. Even if there were, they were only twelve or thirteen years old servants. Although these were young adults, they were still not considered children.

Ever since he found out about Zhu Youtang's existence, the Imperial Consort Xian had arranged for a servant to search for him.

After summing up all the news, Imperial Consort Xian found out about Zhu Youtang's life. At least from the time he was born until now, he had eaten a hundred meals and worn a hundred clothes.
