”Why is Mother still frowning? Wan should be happy when she dies. ”
”The emperor doesn't like beauties, but there are a lot of concubines in the imperial harem. Although the Wan is a pampered woman, she has never reached the stage where the emperor deposed the harem for her. ”Say, why do you think the Emperor has a crush on an old woman like this?”
With the death of Consort Wan, other than the crown prince, the happiest ones would be Empress Wang and Empress Dowager Zhou who had been fighting with Wan for so many years. But other than being happy, Empress Dowager Zhou also felt that the palace was a little lonely.
If he lost an opponent, he would lose a bit of fun.
It was precisely because of the presence of Wan all these years that even though Empress Dowager Zhou had been constantly collecting evidence of the murder of his son, other than Wan killing the previous crown prince, the Empress Dowager Zhou had not truly taken his life. Because Empress Dowager Qian was lonely when he was dead, he trained Wan to be his opponent.
”Child, you have to be patient when doing big things. Wailing Home and Qian Shi had fought for their entire lives, but the only one who won now was Wailing Home. Even back then, when the Qian clan used the power of your Royal Grandmother to keep the Emperor by your side, the Wailing Home was still able to stabilize itself. ”
”Afterwards, the emperor listened to the words of the Empress Dowager Qian and wanted to cripple Empress Wu. Naturally, the Wailing Home felt sorry for your royal father, but he still stood on the side of the emperor. Since the Qian Family wants to be a good person, the Wailing Home will grant her wish. ”
The battle between the two empress dowager had implicated Former Empress Wu, who had been in the palace for less than a month, as a scapegoat.
”Wan and Empress Dowager Qian are close, and Wailing Home is happy to see it. Wailing Home doesn't need to care about what the Wan did. In the end, didn't the Qian Family die a long time ago? ”
So the Empress Dowager Zhou pretended to be confused by the Wan, thinking that the Wan was conspiring to murder the Emperor and his imperial concubine. Therefore, the people from the Tzu Ning Palace went to look for evidence. But in secret, the only person Empress Dowager Zhou had to deal with was the Empress Dowager Qian.
If a empress dowager was going to die, no one would suspect her. The best way to do so would be to euthanize her. There were many ways to euthanize someone. For example, what if Empress Dowager Qian tortured him because of illness?
Thus, at this time, the Taiyuan Hospital's imperial physician was the blade in her hand. A sharp steel blade not only had to have a good steel blade, more importantly, the person holding the blade had to know where to use it.
Having seen through the plot of the Wan to harm the prince, he had even placed Ji Yune, who the Wan was going to kill, in the West Palace. The reason that Empress Dowager Zhou set up this trap step by step, was just to wait for Empress Dowager Qian to take the bait.
The Qian Family had always prided themselves on being a benevolent person, but in the end, they secretly schemed against the Former Empress Wu to implicate the entire Wu Family. The Former Empress Wu naturally had to be on bad terms with the Empress Dowager Qian and Wan, so if Ji Yune were in the West Palace, he would know that he would definitely be taken good care of by the Former Empress Wu.
Then, the death of the Empress Dowager Qian caused the entire Wan to be thrown into chaos. Taking the opportunity to have the Consort Xian, the Chen Fei and some other people in the harem to be pampered by the Chen Fei, or even getting pregnant with a dragon seed, was the last move the Empress Dowager Zhou made.
When everything settled and Wan finally reacted, Empress Dowager Zhou had already gotten what he wanted, even if Wan wanted to kill Ji Yune, it was no longer important in her eyes.
However, Zhu Youtang was a prince, which made Empress Dowager Zhou think highly of him. If Zhu Youtang could be a target to pin down the Wan, it would also be good to protect the three emperors that were born in the Chen Fei, Zhu Youyuan. But in the end, Zhu Youtang was destined to be the crown prince of the Great Ming Dynasty, which was why he ended up like the current Wan.
”Your Highness, the relationship between the Crown Prince's consort and the Minister of Revenue's Minister Xie family's eldest grandson, Xie Qian. The eldest son of the Xie family, Sun Xinyue, is the Crown Prince's consort.”
This was the final piece of news Gu Jianzhi told him. As for the authenticity of Zhang Siyan, even imperial guards did not say that he spied on his daughter's room.
Zhu Youtang watched as Gu Jianzhi completed his mission in an outstanding manner, and felt satisfied in his heart, yet he thought of the days he had spent with Gu Jianzhi a few years ago.
”Your Highness, I did not disappoint you. I have received the news from Chenzhou.” ”This is the current layout of Chenzhou, but I'm afraid this matter will alarm the Third Marquis tomorrow.”
Gu Jianzhi offered up the map of Chenzhou to Zhu Youtang, but did not mention anything about him being injured or that he had almost been killed.
”Seeing that you are injured, is it serious?” Zhu Youtang had always been sensitive to the smell of blood, and this time was no exception.
”Your Highness is unaffected, it's just that your servant's incompetence caused trouble for Your Highness.”
The fourteen year old Zhu Youtang had let his guards do such a thing for him for the first time. This was all because of Zhu Youtang, the crown prince. He had to do something that other princes could not.
”It's my bad, I actually thought that you, Gu Jianzhi, would be able to pass through the heavy guards of Chenzhou by yourself.” Zhu Youtang knew that no matter what he said now, he wouldn't be able to make up for the fact that Gu Jianzhi almost died.
And since he was the future emperor of the crown prince, he couldn't be weak. Those who had achieved great feats did not care about small details. They could not even care about the life or death of one or a few people. Compared to the thousands of people in the world, Gu Jianzhi was simply too insignificant.
”Show me the wound, and I will apply medicine on you alone.” It's inconvenient for a third party to find out what happened today, so I'll have to trouble you not to find the imperial physician. ”
Zhu Youtang had never done such a thing before, but now, in order to not expose his secret, he could only do it once. Moreover, still had some guilt towards him. For a matter like bandaging something up, even if he could not do it, he had to do it.
”How about now? is it better? ” Zhu Youtang could not help but ask if the effects of the pill had any effect. The blade on Gu Jianzhi's body was truly ferocious, to the point that his bones could already be seen.
Even Zhu Youtang, who had already become a cold-hearted person, couldn't help but be moved. You can stay in your own residence for the next three months. Don't you want to ruin yourself like this because of being alone. ”
