Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

"Don't worry, Father. She is the only wife I will have in this life."

"Yeah. It's getting late, let's go back first."

"Yes, I will retire."

After Prince Chen left, the Emperor asked Defu to take note and notify the Ministry of Revenue to organize a special person to study crops suitable for planting in the northern border tomorrow. Then he went into the dark room. He wanted to see what the waves of secret guards sent by Concubine Rong brought back.

The secret guard who had been watching the monitor said: "The person who went to Concubine Hui's palace came back first, and the little bee who followed them is now parked at the door of Concubine Hui's bedroom."

The emperor asked him to call back Little Bee. He was curious about how two people who were usually not related could have any intersection. The secret guard gave an order, and in a short while, Little Bee had entered the imperial study. The secret guard opened the door of the dark room and took Little Bee back. Turn on Bluetooth, and the sound is clearly played synchronously with the picture.

At this time, the man in black had entered Concubine Hui's bedroom and said through the screen: "Concubine Hui, the things and things that the master entrusted to you are all on your dressing table. The master said that she would wait for news within two days, otherwise---"

Concubine Hui chuckled disdainfully: "Ha! Threatening me, go back and tell her, just wait."

The man in black turned and left, and the little bee stayed to observe. Concubine Hui got up and went to the dressing table to pick up a small box the size of a palm. She opened it and found a piece of paper and a small jade bottle inside. She opened the paper and saw a sentence written on it: "Feed medicine to your husband, and the past will be forgotten." The emperor didn't react for a while and realized what it meant. When he saw Concubine Hui's hand shaking as she picked up the small bottle, her face showed disbelief, helplessness, and some struggle, and even an expression of relief.

Suddenly, the emperor felt his heartbeat was a little abnormal, so he asked the bee to fly back to Huifei's palace to check the situation. In the picture, everyone in Huifei's palace was still unconscious. Huifei had changed into her favorite clothes and was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair. Several people were puzzled. Why did she dress up again when she was going to bed at night? The emperor felt something was wrong, so he sent several secret guards to Huifei's palace immediately. Then he took Defu there.

When several secret guards broke into the room, Concubine Hui was holding a small jade bottle and walking towards the bed in the inner room. Concubine Hui was startled by the sudden appearance of several people. When she came to her senses, the small jade bottle in her hand had been snatched away. Several secret guards stood in a circle around her, and the stalemate lasted until the emperor came over.

Concubine Hui knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop, and bowed her head deeply to the ground. The emperor could not see her expression at this moment, but her twitching shoulders still touched the emperor's heart. Sima Hui was the daughter of General Sima. The emperor watched her grow up from a little girl and married into the palace to become his concubine. Although there was no unforgettable love, there was still a husband and wife relationship of mutual support. He wanted to go over, but the secret guards stepped forward to block him. He waved his hand to let the secret guards leave. Bending down to help Concubine Hui up, several secret guards held the hilt of the knife and stared at Concubine Hui.

The emperor took Concubine Hui and sat down on the chair in the hall. The two had not sat together like this for several years. Before the emperor asked, Concubine Hui handed the note in her hand to Defu. The emperor glanced at it and saw that it was the one he saw on the surveillance camera.

The emperor asked, "What does this mean? Who wrote it?"

Concubine Hui: "Concubine Rong sent this to me, along with the bottle. The Emperor must have known everything since he is here now."

"She asked you to drug me?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't do it."

"What did she threaten you with?"

Concubine Hui looked at the emperor in panic: "You know everything?"

"Let my beloved concubine speak in person."

Concubine Hui looked at the secret guards and felt a little embarrassed to speak. The emperor asked Defu to take them all away. Concubine Hui knelt down again and asked the emperor to leave her body intact and bury her anywhere. Then she told the emperor everything that Concubine Rong had discovered.

"Five years ago, Sun Mao returned to the capital to report, and brought back a gift from my father from the border. That night, the emperor entertained the meritorious soldiers, and the third prince was still living in the palace. He came to my palace and gave me a box, saying that my father asked General Sun to bring it back. General Sun, a man from outside, was not suitable to give it to me in the harem, and he happened to pass by, so I asked him to bring it to me. At that time, the third prince was only a child of ten years old. I was very grateful to him and even let him into the palace for snacks. After he left, I opened the box and fainted for some reason. When I woke up again, I found that General Sun and I were lying on the same bed, wearing only underwear, and General Sun was still asleep. Concubine Rong and the third prince were standing in front of the bed watching. At that time, my mind was blank. I didn't know why General Sun was lying on my bed? Why were Concubine Rong and the third prince in my room?"

"Obviously, you fell into their trap."

“It occurred to me later, but I never knew why they did that?”

"Did they ask you to do anything afterwards?"

"Today is the first time."

"After that, Sun Mao and you---"

“We never came.”

"I need time to investigate, you go to the cold palace first."

Concubine Hui kowtowed three times to the emperor, then turned around and followed her eunuch out.

The emperor believed in Concubine Hui, but he always felt upset when he heard those words. He sat there blankly for a long time, and the past events were vivid in his mind. Concubine Hui was the daughter of Sima Lie, a general who had fought on the battlefield with the late emperor, and her mother was the only daughter of Guo Jia, the Minister of Rites. Both of them were loyal ministers and generals left to him by the late emperor. They assisted him for nearly 30 years, without any desire or demand, and were loyal to the country, the army, and the people.

"I am so sorry for them! They let General Sima's daughter get hurt right under my nose. Defu, the Third Prince was only a teenager at that time, how could he do such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has already sent someone to the Imperial Clan Court to ask about it."

"I am too soft-hearted. The Qian family's business is too big. Concubine Rong is no longer the same Concubine Rong she once was. I haven't seen her innocent smile for many years. I was negligent. She has the third prince and her family is rich enough to rival an entire country. She is fully qualified to compete for this position."

"Your Majesty, don't think too much. Maybe there is something hidden? It's getting late. Your Majesty, go back and rest!"

The emperor slowly stood up and said to himself, "I don't want this position, but I have been forced to stay here for 30 years. I didn't appoint a crown prince earlier because I was afraid of mutual harm. Now it seems that this position has been coveted for many years. I am tired, and it is time to appoint a crown prince."

It was late, but the emperor was not sleepy. He returned to the dark room of the imperial study to check the news of the other four groups of people. The head of the Qian family and Chen Yan received the same information: the food that had been stored for many years was gone, and they suspected that it was the work of the goddess. The 20,000 troops outside the city had been arranged to return to the camp as soon as possible. The two became even more panicked after knowing what happened in the palace. They didn't know where the third prince was imprisoned. Concubine Rong sent someone to poison the emperor and asked the 20,000 soldiers outside the city to wait for orders. The group that went to the Ministry of Justice did not return empty-handed, but the group that went to the clan house did have some gains.

The man in black: "The master has already sent the bottle of poison to Concubine Hui. Young master, please wait for a few more days."

An Hao: "Is my mother okay?"
