Wearing a book, hooking him up

Su Jingyao followed Jun Zechen and walked to the third prince's crib.

The third prince had fallen asleep at this time, but his little face was slightly flushed, which seemed to be caused by the respiratory obstruction and coughing just now.

Su Jingyao's eyes were filled with worry, and her gaze seemed to be able to drip water as it fell gently on the third prince.

With a tone full of pity, he said: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is such a pitiful little thing. It's only been more than two months, and he has suffered such a hardship."

"If it is man-made, there must be severe punishment."

Jun Zechen's eyes were slightly complicated as he stared at the third prince quietly.

He had seen the Third Prince very rarely since he was born. He had only seen him once during the baptism ceremony. Including this time, he had only seen him twice in total.

The third prince was his last compensation to Concubine De (Ling Yue), so since the birth of the third prince, Jun Zechen never set foot in Yikun Palace again.

Even earlier, he had not touched Concubine De for a long time. Perhaps due to some psychological factors, he could not touch her again.

"The queen is kind-hearted. You are in charge of the six palaces. I am relieved to leave this matter to you to investigate thoroughly."

After Jun Zechen finished speaking, he turned to Concubine De and said, "Concubine De, let Imperial Doctor Li take good care of the Third Prince tonight. The Queen will investigate this matter tomorrow."

When Concubine De heard that His Majesty actually asked the Queen to investigate, she almost couldn't control the resentment on her face.

The culprit is obviously the Queen. What can the Queen find out?

"Your Majesty, although it is still unclear why the Third Prince is vomiting non-stop, it turns out that willow catkins were added to the Third Prince's bedding, and this bedding was provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

When Concubine De said this, she looked up at the Queen and continued, "The Queen is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now that such a big mistake has occurred in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, doesn't the Queen have anything to say?"

After hearing this, Jun Zechen asked directly before Su Jingyao could refute, "Are you doubting the Queen?"

"Your Majesty, the only princes in the palace right now are the Queen's eldest prince and my third prince. I have to be suspicious. I hope Your Majesty will take a closer look."

Concubine De looked directly at Jun Zechen with a determined look, her expression full of persistence.

At this time, the Queen Mother, who heard that the Third Prince was in trouble, also hurried over.

Everyone in the hall hurriedly saluted the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother walked straight to the side of the Third Prince without stopping and glanced down.

"Emperor, Empress, how is the third prince doing now?" The Empress Dowager's solemn voice sounded slowly, with a hint of majesty.

"Mother, the Third Prince is no longer in danger. I have arranged for Imperial Doctor Li to stay here and watch over him tonight."

"When I came in just now, I heard Concubine De was doubting the Queen. Does the Queen have anything to say?"

The Queen Mother turned her head slightly, her expression extremely serious, her eyes filled with unquestionable majesty, and turned to ask.

"Mother, I also found catkins in the eldest prince's bedding a few days ago, but I have always been very careful with the eldest prince."

Su Jingyao had a serious look on her face and her eyes were full of determination.

"No matter where the eldest prince's personal belongings are sent from, I will check them very carefully and will not neglect even the slightest bit."

As Defei listened, her brows furrowed more and more.

Did the Queen mean by this that she was implying that she didn't care about the Third Prince?

Su Jingyao continued to speak slowly: "After discovering it, I secretly sent people to investigate the matter..."

Jun Zechen was shocked. He had never heard Yaoyao mention this before, so he interrupted her.

"Why didn't you tell me that the eldest prince is my eldest son, and his status is extremely noble. Whoever dares to murder the eldest prince will be punished with the death of all his clans!"

Jun Zechen frowned, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and his words were full of majesty.

Defei's body trembled slightly without being noticed, but she quickly bit her lip and forced herself to remain calm.

"Your Majesty, I just found out the result today, but..."

Su Jingyao paused for a moment when she spoke here, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face.

Then he said, "The evidence we found points to Concubine Ye and Concubine Shu. Concubine Ye is pregnant with the royal heir and worships Buddha with her mother every day. Concubine Shu has also been in the palace for a short time."

"I suspect that someone behind the scenes may have deliberately framed me, so I am still ordering people to continue to investigate further."

Su Jingyao frowned slightly, with a hint of solemnity in her eyes.

"The reason why I didn't tell Your Majesty is that I know Your Majesty is busy with state affairs. Since this is a matter of the harem, as the queen, I should help Your Majesty solve the problem."

Su Jingyao's tone was gentle but firm, and her eyes were full of consideration and care for Jun Zechen.

"But before I could find out the truth about this matter, something happened to the Third Prince again."

Su Jingyao's expression was a little annoyed and helpless, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Then, she turned her gaze to Concubine De, with a hint of helplessness and grievance in her tone, "If Concubine De really doesn't believe me, I wonder if Mother is willing to take on this matter?"

There was a hint of compromise in her tone, as if she wanted to come up with a result that would satisfy everyone.

The Queen Mother first cast her gaze towards Su Jingyao with a scrutinizing look in her eyes, then she shifted her gaze to the slightly panicked Concubine De with a hint of sharpness in her eyes.

"De Fei, the Queen is in charge of the six palaces. If there is no evidence, false accusations against someone who has risen to power are also a serious crime. Let the Queen continue to investigate this matter. If you are not satisfied with the results of the Queen's investigation, come and make a defense."

The Queen Mother's expression was very serious, and every word she said carried a heavy weight.

Defei's expression suddenly turned a little ugly, her lips trembled slightly, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

But soon she gritted her teeth, pursed her lips tightly, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Yes, Queen Mother."

She crossed her hands on her waist and pinched them tightly, trying her best to control her emotions.

Su Jingyao couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

The empress dowager's standard for choosing a queen is that she must be able to handle the affairs of the harem and not let her son be tired. If everything has to be investigated by the empress dowager or the emperor, how could the empress dowager agree to her being the queen?

Thinking of this, she revealed an imperceptible sarcastic smile, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

When Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao returned to Kunning Palace together, they were both a little tired.

Su Jingyao's face was filled with fatigue. She walked to the bed, her body seemed to be shaking a little. She lazily undressed her clothes, and her movements were full of weakness.

Jun Zechen followed her and found it a little funny. He lay down, stretched out his arms, and gently held her in his arms.

Then he thought of the fact that Xingxing was plotted against, and asked with concern in his tone, "When you found out that Xingxing was plotted against, was Yaoyao scared?"

He knew how much she cared about Xingxing, and he always thought he had protected her well. However, he didn't expect that she had been silently bearing everything in a place where he didn't notice.

"I'm afraid. This time I discovered it early and didn't let Xingxing get assassinated. But if the person behind the scenes comes up with a more sinister plan next time and I can't defend myself, what should I do?"

As Su Jingyao spoke, she hugged the man's waist tightly, as if she had used up all her strength, and her fingers tightly grasped the man's underwear, as if she wanted to gain strength from the man.

There was also a hint of helplessness and fear in his eyes.

Jun Zechen reached out and gently stroked her back, his movements gentle and soothing.

His deep eyes flickered with unknown emotions in the darkness, like a bottomless pool of water.

Even though he was the emperor, high above everyone else, he could not stop the disputes in the harem, just like in the court, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish...

"No matter who Yaoyao finds out is, I will punish him severely." A trace of determination flashed across his face.

Originally, she wanted to send Anshun to help her investigate, but after thinking carefully, she was now the queen, and her help might make her mother and concubines question her ability.

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Su Jingyao's eyes.

This time, she will make sure that Concubine De will never be able to make a comeback!
