I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

"How did the child come about?" The Queen first took Du Baolin into the side room, and then asked her righteously.

Du Baolin knelt down in panic. She had not expected that the Queen would handle the matter herself without telling the Emperor.

Her original idea was to place the child in front of the emperor and then cry directly to him.

But all of a sudden, her plan was completely ruined. The emperor's attitude towards the child was completely different from the queen's attitude towards the child.

For the emperor, having a son is of course a good thing. But for the queen, the emperor having a child, especially when she has no control over the matter, is not necessarily a good thing for her.

On the one hand, this incident would affect her reputation, and on the other hand, it would affect the interests of her and the princess. But Du Baolin knew very well that it had come to this point and there was no way back.

So she knelt down, began to cry, and told the queen everything, even the role that Aman had played in it.

When the queen heard this, her face turned from black to blue, and from blue to red, as if she had immediately learned the Sichuan Opera face-changing technique. However, she still did not make a decision immediately.

She was also very entangled in this matter, and she was not sure whether this child was really the emperor's flesh and blood. If it was really a foreign bastard, but she happily presented it to the emperor as a prince, what a shame it would be!

The queen struggled for a while, but in the end, the idea of ​​reporting the matter to the emperor truthfully overwhelmed all other thoughts. Lady Yu had a good family background. Her father was a serious civil servant, and she herself was also a well-educated lady.

Of course, this was not the main reason why the Queen chose to trust her. The main reason was that the Queen felt that the restrictions on concubines in the palace were very severe, and ordinary concubines had absolutely no way to have affairs with outside men. But if a concubine really got pregnant with a child from an outside man, she would definitely find a way to give the child an accurate way out, rather than giving birth to the child in a confused manner and raising it secretly.

You know, it is almost impossible to give birth to this child smoothly and raise this child in the palace without the emperor's permission. Yu Meiren is not an inconspicuous little palace maid. On the contrary, there are so many eyes staring at Yu Meiren, so the origin of this child is worth thinking about.

The Queen thought about it and concluded that it was most likely with the Emperor's tacit consent that Concubine Yu was able to hide the birth of this child from the others in the harem.

After the queen came to this conclusion, her first reaction was that the emperor did not trust her. She felt a little aggrieved, but quickly suppressed her feelings, straightened her clothes and entered the main hall, ready to report the matter to the emperor.

In the Queen's view, since the cause of this incident was that the Emperor allowed the child to be born, the child's sudden appearance in the palace might also be related to the Emperor's instructions.

So Du Baolin's discovery of this child was not something that would have a huge impact. Although there was a troublemaker named Aman in the middle, she just thought that Aman's idea should be to expose the existence of this child in the palace so that the concubines in the palace would focus their attention on this child, thus affecting the child's future life and growth.

But no matter what, this matter had actually reached her, the mother of a country, and the queen felt that she needed to handle the matter well and bring it from the dark to the light.

Regardless of whether this child is the emperor's child or not, the emperor must be informed of this matter. If it is, then of course the prince must be given a jade plate as soon as possible so that he can have a proper identity and live in the palace.

If not, the emperor should punish Concubine Yu who dared to have an affair as soon as possible to make the rules of the palace clear.

The queen thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong. No matter what happened, the anger would not be directed at her. So she simply packed up and strode into the main hall.

Du Baolin was relieved to see the queen take the initiative to take on this terrible task. She tiptoed forward with the child in her arms, ready to get closer to hear what the emperor thought of the child and what arrangements he would make.

If this is really the emperor's child, and she brought the emperor's child to him, she must have made a contribution. At least, the emperor would have made a contribution on the surface, and she would definitely be promoted, and she would get some imperial favor more or less.

By that time, his chance to truly turn things around would have come. Du Baolin fell into a beautiful reverie, and his steps quickened a bit, forgetting that he was only there to gather information, and not planning to go directly with the Queen to meet the Emperor.

Inside the main hall, the eldest princess suddenly trembled, as if she had encountered something bad about to happen. She narrowed her eyes and looked around, then said to the emperor suspiciously, "You are not hiding anything from me, are you?"

"How is that possible? I came here just to ask for your help, why would I lie to you?" the emperor said helplessly.
