The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

The news that Concubine Wen assassinated the emperor and Concubine Rong died to save him spread throughout the court and the harem on the same day, and everyone was surprised when they heard the news.

"I didn't expect that Lady Wen would be so courageous." Concubine Lan said as she flipped through the account book.

"Your Majesty, it's really hard to tell from Lady Wen at all." Qiaohui said.

"But this is the best ending for Concubine Rong."

Rong Fei had participated in the rebellion of the virtuous prince. If she had not died to save the emperor, she would not have had a good life. Now, the emperor must feel guilty towards Rong Fei, and this guilt will be made up to the eldest prince in the future.

There is no stupid maid who can serve you personally. Qiaohui immediately understood what Concubine Lan meant and nodded, "The eldest prince can live a noble and wealthy life now."

"Heh..." Lan Fei sneered and looked up at Qiao Hui. "Which mother doesn't want to accompany her child to grow up, and which child doesn't want to have a mother by his side."

"Noble Concubine Rong just has no choice." Concubine Lan sighed, with a barely perceptible melancholy in her tone.

If Concubine Rong were alive, even if the emperor did not announce it, everyone would say that the eldest prince had a mother who participated in a rebellion, and the eldest prince's life would not be easy in the future. But now Concubine Rong is dead, and she died saving the emperor, so the eldest prince's future life is guaranteed to a certain extent.

Mother, you always think and plan for your children all your life.

"Now it seems that not having children is a good thing." Concubine Lan smiled, with relief in her smile, "Royal children have to suffer too much. Although they can enjoy the wealth and glory that others can never enjoy in their lifetime, they also have to bear too many responsibilities, and even worry about whether they can survive at any time."

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. Concubine Chen is a good-tempered person, and...Your Majesty, you still have a brother." Even though Your Majesty is not favored by the Emperor, the Emperor respects Your Majesty very much and she can live a good life in the harem.

"I know." Concubine Lan said. She had already figured out some things a long time ago and would not force them.

Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it.

If she had understood this sentence earlier, I believe her life would have been better.

Concubine Lan actually admires Concubine Chen very much. Concubine Chen always knows what she wants and has never truly fallen in love with the emperor.

Concubine Lan once really liked Lu Junze, so she knew what it was like to fall in love with someone, and she also knew what it looked like to love someone in the eyes. However, Concubine Chen had the emperor in her eyes, but there was no love in them.

The Emperor was the most important step for Concubine Chen to climb up, and Concubine Chen grasped it very well, so in this treacherous harem, she won.

"That's good." Concubine Lan smiled faintly and put the finished account book on the table. "At least the one who will be in charge of the harem from now on is the easy-to-talk Concubine Chen."

Concubine Lan didn't think that Lu Junze would make anyone other than Gu Shijin the queen. Even if he did, it was not certain that she would be able to survive in the harem.

Qiao Hui: "My Lady..."

"It's alright." Concubine Lan waved her hand. "Are you starting preparations for Concubine Rong's funeral?"

"Don't worry, madam, it's almost ready."

There is strength in numbers. There are the most servants in the palace, so there is no need for Concubine Lan to give any orders. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs started preparing as soon as they received the news.

"These people have become a lot more obedient now." Lan Fei said with a sneer.

"Her Royal Concubine Chen has just given birth to a child. Tell the people below not to go to Chenhua Palace to disturb Her Royal Concubine. Bring important matters directly to me." said Concubine Lan.

Help people to the end, let her handle these things for Concubine Chen temporarily.

……

"Queen Dowager, the virtuous prince has rebelled and has been thrown into prison." Lu Junze sat in the main hall of the Cining Palace and said to the concubine who was standing below.

The Concubine Dowager did raise Lu Junze after all, so he didn't force him to kneel down.

After hearing what Lu Junze said, the concubine finally had a reaction. She raised her head and looked at Lu Junze, and said viciously: "I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then. I shouldn't have kept you. I should have strangled you to death."

A moment of weakness led to the big mistake today.

"You didn't let the emperor go because you were soft-hearted." The Queen Mother looked at the Concubine Dowager and ruthlessly exposed her lies. "It was because the late emperor valued the emperor, and you didn't dare to kill him."

If the late emperor had not valued Lu Junze, and the concubine was afraid that the child would die and she would not be able to explain to the late emperor, Lu Junze would have died hundreds of times already.

"So what? The fact is that you, Lu Junze, were raised by my family. This is a fact known to everyone in the world." The concubine looked at Lu Junze and the queen mother and laughed, "Do you dare to kill me?"

"You are overthinking, Concubine Dowager. I will never kill you." Lu Junze stood up and looked at the Concubine Dowager's surprised face and said, "Not only will I not kill you, I will also let you live in peace for the rest of your life."

"After all..." Lu Junze paused for a long time, and when the concubine began to get impatient, he said word by word: "The wise king gave me such a large sum of money, which is enough for me to support the concubine well."

The concubine immediately understood what Lu Junze meant, because that was something the concubine gave to the virtuous king.

The concubine's mother was the daughter of the richest family in the previous dynasty. When the previous dynasty was about to perish, she hid a large amount of money. Her family had no need to use the money, so it was passed down from generation to generation to the concubine.

Later, the virtuous king needed a lot of money to maintain the army and build weapons. If he amassed wealth indiscriminately, it would be easy for Lu Junze to discover it, so the concubine told the virtuous king about the money.

This is also the reason why the wise king could raise so many troops quietly.

But the useless King Xian actually told Lu Junze about such a large sum of money.

The concubine looked extremely bad, and she was about to faint from anger.

"Lu Junze, what did you do to the virtuous king?" If Lu Junze hadn't done something, how could the virtuous king tell Lu Junze such an important thing.

The concubine did not think her son was so stupid.

Lu Junze shook his head and looked at the concubine with pity. He said, "I didn't do anything. It was the virtuous king who took the initiative to find me and tell me."

"He has only one request..."

"I just hope that I can treat his mother, the Concubine, well."

"Toffee, you really have a good son."

"I remember that when my second brother was young, he was not obsessed with the throne. He wanted to be a rich and idle person."

"It was you, the Concubine, who kept nagging my Second Prince every day, that made him have thoughts that he shouldn't have."

"Hahaha...hahaha..."

The concubine raised her head and laughed, looking at Lu Junze and said, “What do you mean by thoughts that shouldn’t be there?”

"You are all sons of the late emperor, princes. Why should he want to be the emperor? It's not his right to have such thoughts."

Lu Junze frowned, “The throne belongs to my father, so he can naturally make the decision.”
