Wearing a book, hooking him up

Yesterday, the Empress learned that the eldest prince went to Jinzhou. An Shun has been worried ever since then, with his heart in his throat, fearing that His Majesty and the Empress would have a huge conflict over this matter.

Fortunately, the two did not have a very intense argument in the end.

But Anshun naturally had to find out how the Queen knew about this.

Today, he finally got all the investigation results in his hands, and only then did he dare to appear in front of His Majesty.

In order to have enough time to investigate the matter, he gave Fuquan a lot of benefits and asked Fuquan to cover for him.

But it's so difficult.

"Your Majesty, I have already found out that the reason why the Empress knew about the eldest prince's trip to Jinzhou the day before yesterday was because Princess Ruixi overheard the conversation between two palace maids, and Shen Cainu bribed these two palace maids to spread the content of the conversation."

Anshun spoke while leaning forward.

When Jun Zechen heard the name Shen Cainv, he had no impression at all.

"Who is Shen Cainv?" Jun Zechen frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Shen Cainu is a noble lady of the Shen family in Jinzhou and an elder in the Eastern Palace. She was demoted to a Cainu by Your Majesty because she poisoned the Empress's palace dress." Anshun explained.

Jun Zechen frowned even deeper, "What's the grudge between Shen and the Queen?"

Jun Zechen just felt extremely irritated in his heart, and now he was becoming more and more annoyed with these women in the palace.

But even though he was the emperor, he couldn't just abandon these women. At least it was Jun Zechen's responsibility to support them, and it was the only thing Jun Zechen could give them.

This is also where Jun Zechen feels helpless. Although the power of the harem is now in the hands of Yaoyao, there are so many women in the palace, how can he monitor every one of them, let alone a little concubine.

This time he even took advantage of the young princess's worries about her brother. His thoughts were so meticulous that it was hard to guard against.

He could only deal with these people when they jumped out to cause trouble, but he could not fundamentally prevent such things from happening.

Jun Zechen rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, his face full of fatigue.

"I have interrogated Shen. It was actually the guilty concubine Lin who asked Shen to wear the empress's palace clothes. According to Shen, the two of them were close friends. Lin helped Shen a lot in Jinzhou, so their 'friendship' was very deep."

Even it was a "friendship" that Anshun could not understand.

Then he continued, "That's why Shen was willing to act as a sharp blade for Lin and help her get rid of the queen."

"This time the eldest prince went to Jinzhou, which happened to be the hometown of Lin and Shen. Perhaps because of this, they knew the news that the eldest prince was going to Jinzhou, so they used the princess to reveal the news to the queen."

"What is her purpose?"

Jun Zechen lowered his eyes and muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, his eyes deep and solemn.

Few people in the court knew that the eldest prince had set out for Jinzhou. Everyone only knew that Jun Zechen had assigned a task to the eldest prince, but they were not aware that the eldest prince had gone to Jinzhou.

This news was kept strictly secret in the harem.

The only families in the court who are capable of finding out information about the eldest prince and are ambitious are the Yan family and the Chu family.

Shen informed the Queen of this matter, and it was obvious that she knew that he had concealed it from her.

How could a mere prostitute obtain so much confidential information?

Therefore, the Shen family is just a small link in the layers of calculations, and there must be someone behind the scenes making plans.

The Yan family was jumping up and down in the court, but Jun Zechen tolerated it for the time being, because the Yan and Chu families were originally used as training for Jun Yihuan.

But if Concubine Yan were to run wild in the harem, she would be courting her own death!

An extremely cold look instantly appeared in Jun Zechen's eyes.

"Since Shen has done such a thing, it means she wants to die. Let her do it."

Jun Zechen's expression was calm, but his voice was as cold as if it came from the abyss of Hell.

"Send secret guards to monitor Concubine Yan at all times. The Queen is pregnant now, and there can be no room for any mistakes. If there is any evidence that Concubine Yan is plotting against the Queen, she will be imprisoned in Yuqing Palace immediately."

Wait until Jun Yihuan has dealt with the Yan family properly before dealing with Yan Zhaoyi.

If we act now, we will definitely alert the enemy.

Kunning Palace.

After being scolded by his father, Jun Jiayue was like a frost-bitten eggplant with his head drooping.

She also realized that she had been tricked by others.

The Queen Mother was pregnant and fainted because of this incident, and even had a miscarriage. It was all because of her stupidity.

Su Jingyao leaned against the head of the bed, and Jun Jiayue lay obediently in her mother's arms like a docile kitten.

"Mother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have left the person you placed by my side, and I fell into someone else's trap, causing you to worry about my eldest brother while you were pregnant."

Jun Jiayue's voice was tearful and her face was full of regret.

After saying that, the little hand gently touched the mother's belly, and then said to the mother's belly very seriously: "I'm sorry, brother or sister, I scared you in the mother's belly."

Su Jingyao gently touched Jun Jiayue's hair with a smile as gentle as the spring breeze on her face.

"No one is perfect and Ning An is still young. As long as he is willing to correct his mistakes, that's the best." Su Jingyao's voice was gentle, as if it could heal all the pain.

"But can Ning An tell my mother why she ran away secretly?"

Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly and looked at her daughter in her arms with loving eyes.

"I just think Wei Zixiao is pretty, so I want to get to know her."

After Jun Jiayue finished speaking, her face turned slightly red and she lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Wei Zixiao? Su Jingyao thought quickly in her mind. If she remembered correctly, he should be the grandson of General Wei, and now he is Yi Chen's study partner. However, she has never seen him.

The boys Ning An had come into contact with in the palace since he was a child were all royal brothers. It was normal for him to want to get to know a good-looking little boy he occasionally saw outside.

"Ning An, you are the most honorable princess of the dynasty. If you want to see him, just summon him. Even if you want to marry him in the future, all the initiative is in your hands. Don't let your emotions be controlled by him, understand?"

Su Jingyao never taught Ning An how to capture a man's heart or how to win a man's heart.

Because she has been the most noble woman in the dynasty since birth, men can only please her, rather than her pleasing men. Even if Ning An wants to have a lover in the future, Su Jingyao will not stop her.

As the daughter of Su Jingyao, she should live her life freely and enjoy the world to the fullest.

"Mother, I know that I would rather betray everyone than let anyone betray me."

Jun Jiayue held her head high and looked at her mother proudly, with confidence shining in her eyes.

Su Jingyao gently pinched her chubby little face, her eyes full of doting.

Very good, I hope you will live a life without worries, because your father and brothers will be able to provide you with a vast world.

Your husband... better love you forever, otherwise...

There was a hint of sharpness in Su Jingyao's eyes.

Jun Jiayue lowered her head, frowned slightly, and pondered for a long time. Then she raised her head again and said with sparkling eyes: "Well... In addition to mother, eldest brother, father, and Jun Moyan! I can't let you down."

"That's your fifth brother. He has been bullying you since childhood. You are not allowed to be so unruly. Is that what your etiquette nanny taught you?"

Su Jingyao deliberately frowned and scolded her seriously, with a hint of pretended severity in her eyes.

"Mother, I have learned etiquette very well. The etiquette nanny always praises me. In addition to etiquette, I have taken all the courses that you asked me to learn very seriously. Please don't complain to the etiquette nanny."

Jun Jiayue hurriedly shook Su Jingyao's arm, her little mouth pouted, with a hint of coquettishness and anxiety in her voice.

Last time, the Queen Mother found a etiquette nanny because she walked in a hopping manner. As a result, the etiquette nanny stayed by her side all the time for three full months, and would correct any irregularities she encountered.

When she thought of those days, she felt so tired.

"Will Ning An change?" Su Jingyao held back her smile and asked in a serious tone.

"Ah."

Jun Jiayue pouted and agreed reluctantly, with her little head drooping, like a poor little thing who had been wronged.

When Jun Zechen came in, he saw the warm yet slightly confrontational scene between the mother and daughter. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he strode straight over.

Then he reached out and gently lifted up Jun Jiayue who was leaning on Su Jingyao's arms, "Your mother is pregnant, don't put pressure on her."

Although his voice was serious, it was full of fatherly love.

Jun Jiayue was suddenly lifted up by her father. She was stunned at first, and then quickly climbed up to her father like a nimble octopus, holding on tightly with her two little arms and refusing to let go.

He was still mumbling, "Father, I am admitting my fault and apologizing to Mother."

"Well, Ning An is very well behaved, but you still have to be punished for making a mistake this time. I asked you to copy the palace rules ten times. Have you finished copying them?"

There was no relaxation on Jun Zechen's face. His expression was serious and he did not let her go because of her coquettishness.

Jun Jiayue slid down from her father's body, lowered her head, twisted the corners of her clothes with her small hands, and said in a voice as low as a mosquito: "Not yet."

"I'll examine your mother tomorrow."

"Yes, I will copy it now. I'll take my leave." Jun Jiayue bowed and turned to leave.

Su Jingyao looked at her daughter's back as she left, chuckled, and turned to look at Jun Zechen, "Your Majesty is willing to punish Ning An now?"

Jun Zechen sat on the edge of the bed and held her gently in his arms.

"Ning An has grown up, and she needs to understand what she should understand. Her innocence can easily be exploited by others. This time it was used to hurt Yao Yao, and next time it could be Xing Xing or Yi Chen."

It’s better to take precautions.

Su Jingyao nodded in agreement.

"I came here today to let you relax and take good care of yourself. The secret guard I sent to Xingxing has sent back news that Xingxing is safe and sound. In a few days, Xingxing will come back with results that will satisfy everyone."

Su Jingyao's eyes lit up instantly, and she leaned against Jun Zechen's neck and rubbed it coquettishly.

On the road to becoming the Queen Mother, she wanted him to always be her knife, rather than a branch that needed to be removed.
