Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

When Chu Qianyu heard the sound, she looked towards the door, but she only saw a shadow.

Then he smiled and muttered to himself, "Just now he said he would stay and suddenly he ran away for no apparent reason. Weird."

"He calls you Xiao Yueyue? What's your relationship?" Mo Yinan's face darkened when he heard Leng Qingzhou call him that.

Chu Qianyu didn't notice anything was wrong with him, turned around and walked towards the chair, sat down and said, "I met him during the training before, it's been a long time."

"I see. It seems like you have a special relationship." Mo Yinan didn't even realize that there was a hint of jealousy in his tone.

Chu Qianyu realized something was not right, and then she looked at him with narrowed eyes. It seemed that her guess was right. If so, it would be easy. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Chu Qianyu's lips.

Looking at him, she said, "I suddenly remembered that the prince should be getting married soon. Aren't you busy preparing for the wedding these days?"

"Yue'er, you promised me that you wouldn't address me so politely." Mo Yinan became displeased when he heard her call him Prince.

"Sorry, I forgot. I'll pay attention to it next time."

Mo Yinan then responded to her words: "The wedding is prepared by my mother and the steward. I don't need to worry too much. And I have no intention of Miss Chu. It's just a formality."

"Oh, I see." Chu Qianyu looked at him meaningfully.

This made Mo Yinan a little confused. "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious. Since it's just a formality, why don't you choose someone else, but Miss Chu? Are you really interested in General Chu's military power?"

When Mo Yinan heard the last sentence, he raised his eyes and looked at her, with a little disappointment in his eyes: "You look at me like this too?"

Chu Qianyu chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter what I think of you. As long as you have a clear conscience, that's all."

The palace was in chaos at the moment, especially Shoukang Palace where the Queen Mother was staying.

At this time, four concubines, including Concubine De, Concubine Zhao, Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui, were waiting here, and the rest of the concubines had been sent back.

The emperor had just come out of court when he learned what had happened in the empress dowager's bedroom. Without caring about anything else, he stood up and walked quickly towards Shoukang Palace.

"How is the Queen Mother now?" The Emperor's face was filled with anxiety.

The servant who came to deliver the message said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has fainted. Imperial Concubine De is currently in charge of the Shoukang Palace."

"Noble Concubine De? Did they go to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager today? Don't they go only once a month? I remember they went there not long ago, why did they go again today?" The Emperor asked as he walked, his eyebrows slightly frowned, feeling that something was not right.

"Your Majesty, yesterday the ladies in the palace heard that the Queen Mother was frightened, so Concubine Zhao took the lead and said that they would come to see the Queen Mother this morning to make her place more lively and dispel the bad luck. And it was Concubine Zhao who came and discovered that there was something wrong with the Queen Mother's bedroom this morning."

"Zhao Fei?" Zhao Fei was present in both incidents. Was it a coincidence? The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that it might not be a coincidence. Could it be that Zhao Fei was instructed by someone? Did she collude with someone outside to cause this?

Thinking of this, the emperor's face darkened. It seemed that Concubine Zhao was becoming more and more daring.

Then he turned to Zhang Fu beside him and said, "Tell them to check who Concubine Zhao has been in contact with these days?"

Zhang Fu agreed and turned to leave.

Soon the emperor arrived at Shoukang Palace. The servants standing outside hurriedly saluted when they saw the emperor coming.

When the emperor walked in, he saw the empress dowager and Concubine Zhao lying on the couch.

"What happened to Concubine Zhao?" asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao was the first to come to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. She was also frightened like the Empress Dowager, so she fainted shortly after the Empress Dowager did." said Concubine De.

The emperor nodded and said, "In that case, let them carry him back to rest."

"Yes, I will go and give the order right away." After Imperial Concubine De agreed, she told the servant beside her, "Go and prepare the sedan chair and carry Concubine Zhao back to the palace."

"Yes, slave, go and prepare now."

The Emperor walked up to the Queen Mother and saw that her face was pale and her lips were bloodless. He looked worried and asked, "Have you called the imperial physician?"

"Your Majesty, I have already invited you."

"Yes." The emperor looked at the empress dowager for a while, then turned to Concubine De and the others and said, "Concubine De, please stay. I have something to ask you. The rest of you can go back."

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

After the others carried Concubine Zhao out, the emperor finally spoke: "Tell me in detail what you saw."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Concubine De bowed slightly, she turned around, took out a piece of paper from the table, took two steps forward and handed it to the emperor.

Then she continued, "Your Majesty, when I came, the Queen Mother was still not unconscious. Her face was covered in blood, as if someone had deliberately poured a basin of blood on her face. There was also a wooden box at the head of the bed, which contained the head of the second young lady of the Chu family. The thing is still outside the door."

"The Queen Mother fainted after seeing the things in the box. Then I ordered people to search the Queen Mother's house, fearing that there were people with bad intentions or assassins staying in the Queen Mother's bedroom. In the end, no one was found, but a piece of paper like this was found. Please take a look at what is written on it."

The emperor had already opened the paper and was reading it while she was speaking.

After Concubine De looked at the paper and the head in the box, she became furious. She didn't show it on her face, but in her heart she was cursing the Queen Mother for her viciousness. At this moment, she couldn't understand why the Queen had secretly ordered Qianqian and the others to be harmed.

Seeing that the Queen failed, she secretly looked for a killer to kill Qianqian. Fortunately, the killer seemed to be on bad terms with the Queen Mother for some reason, and the person he killed was actually the daughter of his concubine.

It's your own fault!

The emperor slapped the paper in his hand on the table, then looked at Concubine De and said, "Several people have seen this paper."

"Your Majesty, almost everyone who came to the Queen Mother's bedroom just now knows about it."

Concubine De seemed to struggle for a few times, then she knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this piece of paper says that Miss Chu's head has been taken, and the mission is completed. I hope the Queen Mother will be satisfied. This...did the Queen Mother hire someone to kill my niece?"

"Qianqian was secretly poisoned by the Queen before, and Xiaozhu was murdered. I am really scared. I don't understand why this happened."

The emperor had a gloomy face and a dark look flashed across his eyes. After hearing what Concubine De said, his chest beat a little faster.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "The things on this piece of paper cannot be true. Someone must have deliberately framed the Queen Mother. If it was really the Queen Mother who wanted to kill Miss Chu, why would the killer do this to the Queen Mother? This is strange."

"Your Majesty, everything was fine, why did that person do this? And now Xiaozhu has been harmed by someone. Please, Your Majesty, do something for my niece." After saying this, Concubine De bowed her head to the ground.

The emperor looked at Concubine De like this, sighed, stepped forward to support her and said: "You are not feeling well, the ground is cold, get up first. When the Queen Mother wakes up, I will ask her clearly."

Concubine De also knew that she should stop when she had enough and not push too hard. She followed the emperor's instructions and stood up. She said with a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
