Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Just as Chu Yao and his men were acting separately, there were movements in various places in the palace.

Fengqi Pavilion——

"Where have you been recently? It took you so long to come back! Were you seduced by some vixen?"

The queen looked at Teng Sen in front of her with an unhappy look on her face. This man had not come back since she asked him to leave the palace last time. Now it has been almost a month, and this man finally came back.

"I thought you were reluctant to come back!"

Teng Sen smiled, but the smile was not in his eyes. In fact, Teng Sen and the Queen had no feelings for each other. Teng Sen stayed in the palace because the group of elders from Miaojiang sent him to monitor the Queen, and the Queen was with Teng Sen just to have some fun in the lonely palace.

During this time, Teng Sen did not return to the palace immediately after finishing his work. He was looking for Liuli, who pretended to be a maid in the Little Red Tower last time. God knows that this woman is easy for him to find. After she came last time, something happened to the Queen. That day, Prince Yun also entered the palace, so he was sure that Liuli was Prince Yun's man. But during this time, he checked the twelve Yanluo around Prince Yun, and there was no Liuli at all. But he also saw that Yunyou, who also pretended to be a maid that day, was indeed following Prince Yun, so what went wrong? Could it be that Liuli was sent by Prince Yun to do another task?

The person over there was not found, but here we had to appease the queen first. Teng Sen walked to the queen, knelt on one knee, stretched out one hand to hold the queen's hand, and kissed the back of her hand.

"How could I not come back? Ning'er knows that I can't leave Ning'er."

Teng Sen knew that the queen liked this the most. If he said a few words that couldn't be separated from her, she would become proud.

Sure enough, even though the queen knew that he didn't mean what he said, the corners of her mouth still rose unconsciously, and she reached out and patted Teng Sen's head, like she was petting a pet.

"Just stay with me in the palace. When that man dies, our son will take the throne. Everything in this world will be ours."

The queen painted a beautiful blueprint, closed her eyes, and smiled, as if she was immersed in her own dream. The seventh prince was indeed the child of Teng Sen and the queen, so Concubine Xian told Prince Qing that the emperor would definitely not pass the throne to the seventh prince, because the emperor knew about this. But the queen thought she had concealed it perfectly.

Teng Sen couldn't help but smile as he watched her immersed in the beautiful dream she had woven, because he was the one who revealed the matter of the Seventh Prince to the Emperor anonymously. Although it was beneficial for them to have the Seventh Prince ascend to the throne, he took this risky move in order to ensure that the Queen still needed the power of Miaojiang. And he did make the right bet. Emperor Mingren did not make the matter public after knowing it, so apart from Emperor Mingren, only his confidants should know about this matter. As long as they find a way to publicize the news of the Seventh Prince ascending to the throne in the future, they will naturally be able to find out who those confidants are, and then eliminate them one by one, and no one in the palace will dare to go against them. This is also a handle for the Queen. With the handle in their hands, they can better control the Queen.

While Teng Sen was thinking about these things, the queen opened her eyes and regained her previous arrogance. Teng Sen also immediately regained his docile expression.

"How's the matter going with what I asked you to do?"

"Everything is ready. The elders said they will prepare as you said, but please ask the Queen to fulfill her promise when the time comes."

The queen reached out and lifted Teng Sen's chin, looking down at him condescendingly.

"You are questioning what I said!"

Faced with the sudden sense of oppression from the queen, Teng Sen was not afraid.

"Ning'er, I'm not the one who questioned them, it's the elders. You know, they are very stubborn, I'm just responsible for conveying their words. I've been Ning'er's man for a long time~"

The queen glanced at Teng Sen, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, removed the finger that was lifting Teng Sen's chin, turned around and sat back on the bed.

"It's good that you didn't mean that. After the matter is done, as long as the elders can behave themselves, I will naturally fulfill my promise. But if they covet other things, then you will work with me to 'punish evil and promote good'!"

Teng Sen looked calm.

"I understand~"

"Also, I heard that Xiao Zuochen was injured. I don't know if it's true or not, but none of the assassins I sent out some time ago came back alive. My people are closely watching the Prince Yun's Palace, so they can't get in at all. Find a way to find out whether this news is true or not. If it is true, it will be the icing on the cake for our plan. Then we can add fuel to the fire and make him ascend to heaven early."

The Queen said this, unconsciously clenching her hands into fists.

"Okay, leave this to me."

Teng Sen was very happy, as he could take this opportunity to visit Prince Yun's Mansion again.

On the other side, in the South Study Room——

The emperor was practicing calligraphy on rice paper at this time. Eunuch Mu Yi behind him curiously poked his head out, but unexpectedly the emperor suddenly turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Take a look at how the word 'alone' is written."

Mu Yi smiled awkwardly.

"I can't read a single word, how dare I comment on your calligraphy, Your Majesty~"

Emperor Mingren laughed and shook his head.

"You don't dare. You can't read."

"Oh~ Your Majesty, you have seen through my little thoughts~"

Eunuch Mu Yi's treacherous voice, coupled with his slightly "awkward" movements, made the emperor laugh out loud, and his mood instantly improved.

"Do you know what happened to Lao Liu?"

"Your Highness Prince Yun? I really don't know what's going on with him."

"You really don't know?"

"Oh, my emperor, how could I possibly lie to you? I am your servant~"

Eunuch Mu Yi said very seriously that the emperor still did not trust him, and added another sentence.

"My future is in the hands of the Emperor~"

The emperor smiled. He naturally knew what Mu Yi was talking about.

"If you succeed, I will pick a strong one for you the second time."

"Oh~ Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Mu Yi was very excited and looked like he was about to cry, as if the emperor had promised him a great benefit.

"Lao Liu, find a way to send someone to check on the situation..."

Emperor Mingren changed a piece of rice paper and wrote as he spoke.

"...He seems to be investigating the serial murder case recently. If he is really sick, you know what to do."

Eunuch Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the emperor in a daze.

“How do I do this?”

Would the Emperor ask me to get rid of His Royal Highness Prince Yun?

The emperor seemed to see what he was thinking and glared at him.

"Try to delay his recovery and delay his investigation. This way, he will have fewer clues to find. If he can't find anything, he will give up. Otherwise, what do you think I want you to do? That's my precious son!"

"Ah, it's the slave who is stupid~"

The emperor shook his head slightly, put the pen aside after writing the last stroke, and nodded with satisfaction at the words on the rice paper.

Eunuch Mu Yi looked at the words on the paper and agreed with the emperor with a fake smile. On the piece of rice paper, four big words were written in black and white: Father is kind and son is filial.
