The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao nodded slightly, his eyes deep: "What about the harem?"

Old Feng sighed softly, his voice full of vicissitudes: "The affairs of the harem are complicated. The most powerful are Concubine Dong and Concubine Su."

"Now that the Su family has been defeated, Concubine Su's power will naturally plummet. Then, the most powerful person in the palace is undoubtedly Concubine Dong."

The Dong family and the Su family have always been the two opposing forces in the imperial court, and open and covert struggles have long been commonplace.

Moreover, the Dong family also made a lot of efforts in suppressing the rebellion of the Su family. Therefore, the person behind the scenes may not have much to do with Concubine Dong.

However, Qin Feng and Qin Yun were both born to Concubine Dowager Dong, and they are connected by blood and have a close relationship.

Although Qin Hao remained vigilant about this matter, he could not ignore their existence.

Especially Qin Feng, he has always had improper thoughts about Dong Meir, and he probably doesn't have much respect for his half-brother Qin Hao.

The death of Emperor Taizong seemed to be inextricably linked to Qin Yun.

Qin Hao had also used the will to test his brothers. All signs pointed to one fact: the person who stole the will was most likely a pawn secretly arranged by Qin Yun.

These two brothers, although seemingly calm and composed on the surface, are actually scheming and not easy to deal with. They must have been eyeing the throne for a long time.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Qin Hao frowned, and after careful consideration, he decisively ordered: "Master Feng, I order you to immediately send two more shadow guards to closely monitor my second and eighth brothers. Keep a close watch on them until they leave the capital. Do not relax for even a moment!"

"I will personally uncover the truth behind this and find out who is behind all this. Even if I have to dig deep into the ground, I will find the mastermind behind this! How can I allow others to interfere with my kingdom?"

He paused for a moment, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said, "By the way, Concubine Dong is also under surveillance. Right now, the situation is changing rapidly, and I have no time to care about those red tapes."

Upon hearing this, Old Feng nodded solemnly.

At this moment, Su Ziyan walked in lightly. When her eyes met Qin Hao, she couldn't help but blush a little, and her voice softened a little: "Your Majesty, Auntie has successfully persuaded my eldest brother, and he let you in."

"Great! You have really done a great job this time. Don't worry, I will keep my word."

Qin Hao laughed happily. He couldn't help but hold Su Ziyan's hands, which were as warm and smooth as white jade. He patted the back of her hands gently and comforted her softly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Hao suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his actions. The smile on his face froze slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

He reluctantly let go of Su Ziyan's hand and explained awkwardly, "Auntie, I...I didn't mean to offend you, it's just...it's just that I can't control the joy in my heart, so I...that's why I did this."

Su Ziyan heard this and lowered her head slightly. A faint blush appeared on her face, like the rising morning glow. She smiled sweetly, and that smile was like the warm spring sun, warm and bright.

At this moment, she seemed like a blooming peony, with a beauty that made all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison. She glanced slightly to the side, turned her head and smiled, her charming manner was so charming that it made people intoxicated.

She responded in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, don't mind it. Go and see my elder brother."

The voice was as gentle as water and as clear as a mountain spring, which made Qin Hao feel relaxed and happy.

Qin Hao regained his composure, calmed his heart, and gave Su Ziyan a gentle smile.

Then, he walked with brisk steps to the room where Su Zhengfang was.

In the room, although Su Zhengfang's face looked tired, there was a strange light shining in his eyes, like a candle that was about to go out, burning more vigorously at the end of its life.

He stared at Qin Hao, his voice weak but firm: "Your Majesty, I know I don't have much time left. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

Qin Hao didn't exchange extra pleasantries and got straight to the point: "Who is the Buddha? Who is the Nine Thousand Years Old? Also, who is the one controlling everything behind the scenes, King Wu or King Ning?"

Su Zhengfang was slightly startled, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and with a hint of self-mockery, he slowly said: "Your Majesty is wise, I believe you already have the answer in your mind, you just want to verify it with me."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, his expression as calm as a mountain, as if everything was under his control.

"The Buddha is the prince of the previous dynasty, Xiao Tianyang, and the Nine Thousand Years Old is naturally me. The big fish behind the scenes is the ambitious Prince Ning. As for whether there is some unknown collusion between Prince Ning and Prince Wu, I don't know."

Su Zhengfang's eyes revealed a trace of anger, and he said without hesitation: "The relationship between Prince Ning and I is just that we each take what we need and use each other. He wants to ascend to the supreme throne, and all I want is supreme power."

"The reason I took this path was because I was forced by King Ning. He had a lot of evidence of my Su family's crimes in his hands. As long as these things were exposed, my Su family's decades of foundation would be destroyed. This is why I took the risk and rebelled."

Qin Hao snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "You are in cahoots with each other, and you want to overthrow my kingdom. Sooner or later, I will settle accounts with you one by one and make you regret coming into this world."

"Tell me! More than a decade ago, Prime Minister Mu's family was brutally exterminated. Were you the one who instigated the tragedy? Who else was involved?"

Facing Qin Hao's questioning, Su Zhengfang just smiled sadly, as if he had already looked down upon life and death: "More than a decade ago, I was just a small minister in the Ministry of Revenue. Your Majesty, do you think a small minister would have the guts to kill hundreds of innocent people in Prime Minister Mu's family?"

"Is there some hidden secret here?" Qin Hao frowned and asked in confusion.

Su Zhengfang nodded slightly, and then slowly said: "This matter is not as simple as it seems. Prince Ning told me that Mu Haoran accidentally got the shocking secret that he colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty and attempted to kill the king and rebel, and he wanted to report it to Prince Ning."

"At that time, I had not yet taken up the position of Minister of Revenue. Under the pressure of Prince Ning, I was forced to play the unbearable role of executioner. In addition to me, the participants in this matter also included Dong Sicheng and Wen Tai."

"When everything was settled, King Ning fulfilled his promise. I got the position of Minister of Revenue as I wished, Dong Sicheng became the imperial tutor, with great power in the court, and Wen Tai also became the Minister of War, commanding a large number of troops."

"Thinking back to that past, the King of Ning's clever methods and overwhelming power are indeed chilling. His abilities are unfathomable, and can be described as all-powerful."
