I just want to rob you of your luck
Chapter 251: Plundering the Concubine's Luck 19
"Jiu'er, your brother actually won the first place in the autumn examination this time. I didn't expect that he is so knowledgeable. I am a little surprised."
Lin Jiuer was delighted and asked quickly, "Are you serious? Your Majesty, are you teasing me?"
Zhu Heng pulled Lin Jiuer into his arms and kissed her intensively. He didn't let go until Lin Jiuer's body softened.
Lin Jiuer leaned in his arms, panting with her beautiful eyes raised.
"Your Majesty, you are so mean. You know that I care about my brother's grades, but you still want to make trouble for me like this."
Zhu Heng enjoyed this sweet interaction between them and pinched her small nose.
He smiled and said, "Don't you know that a king never jokes? How could I lie to you about something like this?"
Lin Jiuer laughed happily, which made Zhu Heng feel a little happier.
"I plan to train him slowly and have him serve in my Xuanjing Division."
Lin Jiuer had no intention of asking about specific matters. After all, she knew that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs.
But since Zhu Heng had said so, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you intend to let him help you?"
"That's right. I have already talked to him and he agreed. I have given him some files and asked him to help me deal with them."
Lin Jiuer was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her brother had been recruited by the emperor before he even took part in the Spring Examination and the Palace Examination.
It seems that the emperor is still short of manpower.
Xuan Jing Si is an institution directly under the jurisdiction of Zhu Heng, and everyone inside it is his confidant.
Zhu Heng did not tell Lin Jiuer that the files he gave to Lin Xingzhi were all about investigating the case involving the Duke Zhao's Mansion.
He told Lin Xingzhi that Lin Jiuer had been framed by Concubine Zhao many times in the harem. Lin Xingzhi immediately expressed his willingness to be loyal to Zhu Heng and help investigate the Zhaoguo Mansion.
In Yaohua Palace, Concubine Zhao has lost a lot of weight. She has been under house arrest since she forced Lin Jiuer to drink poisoned wine last time.
The task of managing the harem fell on Concubine De and Concubine Rong.
However, his share was not deducted.
Matron Cai usually takes good care of the young palace maids. Last time, Yuetao was very loyal and did not give Matron Cai and Concubine Zhao away. She took the blame for bribing Yuyao alone.
Fortunately, Nanny Cai survived. She accompanied Concubine Zhao every day and felt very sorry for her.
On this day, Concubine Zhao sat alone in the magnificent corridor of Yaohua Palace, staring blankly at the small garden full of flowers outside.
Aunt Zhao came closer and said:
"My lady, please don't be too sad. As long as the Duke Zhao's mansion is still there, His Majesty will not dare to do anything to you. He will let you go sooner or later."
Zhaopin shed two lines of tears: "Mammy, what's the use of letting me go? His Majesty has already despised me, otherwise he would have locked me up for so long and never come to see me.
He must have been so happy with that little bitch Wanpin that he had long forgotten that there was a devoted woman waiting for him to come every day."
Aunt Zhao was speechless. It was already this time, why was the Empress still feeling like a young girl in love?
"Your Majesty, since His Majesty is so heartless, you don't need to have any illusions about him anymore. What you should consider now is your own future and the Second Prince's!"
Concubine Zhao was stunned, and her hazy eyes finally became clear. Yes, how could Brother Heng only like him?
He has countless beauties in his harem. Even if there was no Concubine Wan, there would be other young and beautiful women. She should not be entangled in these love affairs anymore.
Behind her is the Zhaoguo Mansion and the Second Prince. She can't just remain depressed like this.
Seeing that Concubine Zhao seemed to have listened to her, Madam Cai was very happy.
"Your Highness, I have sent a letter to Duke Zhao's residence. I believe that Your Highness will be released soon."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhao sighed softly, still feeling somewhat confused. Without the favor of His Majesty, what would it matter if she could get out?
However, she had been under house arrest for a long time and had not seen the second prince, so she still missed her son very much.
Madam Cai seemed to have seen through Concubine Zhao's thoughts: "Your Highness, from now on you must live for yourself and for the Second Prince. You must not be so willful as before. When the Second Prince becomes the Crown Prince and inherits the throne, then you can really breathe a sigh of relief."
Concubine Zhao fantasized about her son ascending the throne and herself becoming the empress dowager. That would be the time when she would enjoy real glory.
Her eyes gradually became firm. Brother Heng, since you are so heartless, Rong'er will never have any feelings for you again.
No matter what happens in the future, it’s all because of you!
Three days later, when Lin Jiuer had just gotten up early in the morning, Yuling helped her wash up and said with some concern, "My lady, I heard that His Majesty restored Concubine Zhao's title of concubine yesterday and lifted her house arrest."
Lin Jiuer was stunned. She thought Zhu Heng had completely given up on Concubine Zhao, but she didn't expect that she would be released again.
It is true that a centipede is still alive even after death.
"Do you know why His Majesty let her out?"
"I heard that one reason was that Concubine Zhao's second brother, General Zhenxi, was going to the border to fight. Before he left, he specifically asked for mercy from Your Majesty. In addition, the Second Prince also often went to Your Majesty to plead for mercy, so Your Majesty had no choice but to release Concubine Zhao."
Lin Jiuer sighed. The Zhaoguo Mansion really had a strong foundation. The Zhaoguo Duke already had great power in the court.
His two sons, one was a civil official and the other a military official. One was the General Zhenxi, commanding an army of 200,000 men, and the other was the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the court's purse.
With such a family background, it is no wonder that Concubine Zhao has been so arrogant and domineering in the harem for so many years.
Zhu Heng always treated her gently and never really punished her.
In the following days, Concubine Zhao was relatively well behaved and didn't make much trouble.
On the first and fifteenth day of every month, when the concubines went to pay their respects to the empress dowager, Lin Jiuer met her several times.
Although she was cold, she did not embarrass Lin Jiuer anymore.
Her quietness made Lin Jiuer feel even more dangerous.
Lin Jiuer felt like a prey being targeted by a poisonous snake.
This isn't going to work. I feel like Concubine Zhao is planning something big.
Moreover, she discovered that Concubine Zhao no longer tried to win favor, and there was no more admiration in her eyes when she looked at Zhu Heng. This was the more dangerous point.
A wise man does not fall in love, which shows that Concubine Zhao has really grown up.
Concubine Zhao is not easy to deal with without her love brain, but she also has her weakness, which is the second prince Zhu Zhi.
Lin Jiuer thought that Concubine Zhao's ultimate goal was to make the second prince the crown prince and her the queen.
Since she has been lying in wait and planning her actions slowly, it would be better to give her some explosive information and force her to take action against me.
Lin Jiuer spent another 500 points to exchange for a fake pregnancy pill from the system mall.
Although this task was not too difficult, it cost a lot of points, and Lin Jiuer felt a little distressed.
The annual Lantern Festival will be in two days, and Lin Jiuer plans to give Concubine Zhao something exciting on this day.
