The Iceberg Prince was teased by me

"Not necessarily. There must be many excuses for the people behind the scenes to get away with it!" Seeing this, Su Bai couldn't help but express his concerns.

Su Yue and Su Meng nodded in agreement after hearing this, and Su Yue said solemnly: "I guess the most likely one is the most powerful one in the harem!"

Ji Yunchu's eyes flashed with admiration, and he followed her thoughts and asked carefully: "Why do you think so?"

The others all thought of what they thought were the most reasonable reasons, and then expressed their opinions one after another.

"Since the prince has always been the emperor's favorite son, she is worried that the emperor will choose the prince to be the next new emperor."

"Yes, when the emperor was in a coma, the ministers all chose the prince to be the regent, but the prince recommended Prince Jing. But in that person's heart, the prince and his brother were stumbling blocks to Prince Hao's future."

"Also, also, in the past, when the prince was either assassinated or framed, I saw that she often only showed some concern on the surface, but never showed any real goodness!"

"Yes, the two princes didn't say anything, and the princess didn't say anything either, but we servants really saw the facts. I'm not just guessing. I believe that the death of the late queen must have been caused by this person!"

Ji Yunchu listened to their conversations carefully, especially when she heard what Su Meng said at the end, she inexplicably felt the same way. There were not many stepmothers in the world who truly loved the offspring left by their husband's ex, especially in the royal family. If there was, it could only be that the man had lost the ability to have children, and in order to rest assured for the rest of their lives, they would definitely treat the child well.

However, at this moment, Mu Yanchen's cold voice rang out from the doorway, "How do you know the cause of my queen mother's death? Where did you find out? Why haven't you reported this to me?"

Su Bai and the others were frightened by his sudden voice and their bodies froze. They all lowered their heads subconsciously and grabbed the hem of their skirts with their hands. Ji Yunchu almost couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

It's not that she is unkind, but she thinks their behavior is so consistent and cute that she wants to laugh.

When Mu Yanchen walked up to her, the cold air from his body froze Ji Yunchu's back. She suddenly suppressed her inner joy, stood up and said coldly: "Why are you angry? I let them speak freely. They are just guessing. If there is real evidence, they will of course give it to you first!

Besides, I think their guesses are very reasonable. It has been said since ancient times that the imperial family is the most ruthless. Do you, Your Highness, think that all the women in the harem are good people and are all your good stepmothers?

If you ask me, for a man, no matter he is a royal noble or an ordinary citizen, he does not need to have many wives and concubines in the backyard. A couple and a few children are enough for a family!

If you don't believe it, you can just look at the reality. How many people have been brought disaster by one person's happiness, and how much harm has it brought to his own family?

And let me say something very disrespectful. In order for your royal family to consolidate their power and influence the court, all the women in the harem serve as a bond for those ministers in the court to compete with each other and advance forward.

But you forget that people are always greedy, and there will always be people who abuse their power in secret. There will always be corrupt officials, and there will always be honest officials, but most of them are the victims. A country that looks glamorous on the surface will only end up with a more corrupt ending! "

Ji Yunchu spoke out all the negative aspects behind the evil imperial power in one breath, and with a modern soul, she always believed that a strong country could not be preserved forever by marrying a few more women, but by the people of the world. If the people are prosperous, the country will be prosperous. If you appoint people based on their merits, and there is no corruption or intrigue in the court, and there are loyal ministers who are dedicated to serving the country and the people, then why should you worry about your country not being strong?

When Su Bai and the others heard her pleading for them, they were all moved to tears. However, in order not to affect their relationship, Su Bai and the others took the initiative to kneel down and admit their mistakes. "Your Majesty, we know we were wrong!"

Ji Yunchu looked at them and felt disappointed. In this evil imperial era, she was too naive to think that a few simple words could change their deep-rooted ideas about imperial power. She couldn't help but sigh and turned away.

"Since you are here, let them tell you everything again. I have been staying in the house for a long time and it is a bit boring. I am going to go out for a walk!"

After saying that, she walked out without waiting for Mu Yanchen's response. When Mu Yanchen reacted, he quickly chased after her and grabbed her hand, "Don't go, wait a minute, I will go out for a walk with you!"

Ji Yunchu was in a bad mood at the moment. There was no way a few words from Mu Yanchen could change her mind. She struggled hard to pull her hand back, but it was useless. Mu Yanchen had no intention of letting go.

Ji Yunchu was furious, and immediately entered the space with a thought, giving Mu Yanchen a chance to catch him.

The four people who were kneeling secretly saw Ji Yunchu disappear on the spot, and they were all so surprised that they immediately lowered their heads. Their hearts were beating fast, and they were really afraid that their master would kill them in order to keep the secret.

When Mu Yanchen turned around, he saw their slightly trembling shoulders. He knew that since she could do this in front of them, she must trust them, so he gave up the idea of ​​killing them to silence them.
