Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

But his master seemed to take it completely unimportant and was already thinking about other things.

"Did you guess who it was?"

"I had no idea at first, but after carefully analyzing the situation in the palace and what happened recently, it's not hard to guess."

Seeing that the master seemed very confident, Xiaodie also became interested.

"Who?"

"It's very simple. Whoever in the palace has the strength to be the enemy of Imperial Concubine Yue will be the one. Have you forgotten? Imperial Concubine Hui once said that there are only two factions in the palace now. Since the Gou Wa incident was Imperial Concubine Yue's fault, who else would hope that this big pot would fall down at the most fatal angle?"

"You mean the Queen?"

Speaking of this, Xiaodie guessed it in seconds.

Shen Zhishu pursed his lips and smiled.

So, Xiaodie is really not confused at all.

"I will try to find out the truth about the woman named Fang Yin and others. There are so many old people and aunts in the cold palace. I still don't believe it. I can't find the truth."

When Xiaodie heard that it was the Queen's plan, she slapped her thigh excitedly.

Therefore, no one in this palace can stay out of trouble.

Even the seemingly gentlest Queen has her own plans.

The next day.

When the concubines came to pay their respects, the Queen handed over the task of preparing the birthday banquet to Concubine Yue in front of everyone.

Concubine Yue, who was always too proud to say a word and acted even more arrogant than the queen, was shocked for a moment.

Then, with an unconcealable joy on his face, he bowed readily.

This was originally the responsibility of the Queen Mother, but now that it has fallen on her shoulders, it represents supreme honor in itself.

The queen felt a little upset when she saw this.

But judging from her expression, she didn't know about it beforehand, so she shouldn't suspect that Shen Zhishu had colluded with Concubine Yue yesterday.

There is no way she would be so courageous.

As soon as the greetings were over, the queen returned to her bedroom with a heavy heart.

"Close the door. I am not feeling well today and will not see anyone."

After saying that, she coughed twice, as if her condition had become worse again.

But before the door could be closed, the old eunuch walked in quickly from outside.

"Your Majesty, Chief Steward Zhao has just come here in person to deliver a message from His Majesty. He will come over to visit you and have lunch with you in a while."

The lifeless look in his eyes suddenly brightened up a lot.

His Majesty is here?

When Shen Zhishu heard the news in the side courtyard, His Majesty was already sitting in the main hall having dinner with the Queen.

It was Aunt Gui who came here specially to tell her not to disturb her.

"It couldn't have come at a better time."

She couldn't help but sigh.

She had thought that the Queen must be very unhappy about handing over power temporarily this morning, and she was a little worried, not knowing how to make the Queen happy.

That’s good now. His Majesty has arrived on time, so I don’t have to worry about anything at all.

Shen Zhishu's joy and freedom.

At this time in the main hall.

Not only did His Majesty come, he also summoned the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau to take the Queen's pulse.

The result is that the Queen has been overworked over the years, and her body is weak and depressed. It can be said that she has fallen ill due to overwork and needs to be slowly recuperated.

"Queen, you have worked so hard these years."

When the emperor heard that the queen had a similar illness to his own and looked at her slightly haggard face, he felt really guilty.

She is just like me, with endless things to deal with. How could she not feel depressed?

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This is my duty. I am old now and my health is not as good as before. It is normal to have a cold and a headache. I just need to take care of myself."

The queen looked very open-minded.

"Your Majesty, the same goes for you. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health. Let the princes share some of the heavy responsibilities of the court. Don't work too hard on yourself."

He turned around and tried to persuade His Majesty.

She looked unhappy, so how could the emperor be any better?

The two of them sitting together at this moment, they really look like an old married couple.

"It's been more than half a year, and there's still no improvement. That's it. I wanted to use my last time to do more for the people, but now it seems that I am unable to do so. I am old, and this position should be taken by someone else."

The emperor spoke earnestly, his eyes seemed extremely melancholy, containing a myriad of emotions, reluctance, loneliness, and confusion.

He looked heavy anyway.

When the queen heard him say this, she became nervous as well.

The issue of establishing a crown prince is too sensitive.

"In ordinary families, there are centenarians, with five generations living under one roof and enjoying a peaceful and peaceful life. Your Majesty is still young, and with the imperial physicians taking care of you, you will surely live to be a hundred years old."

"Five generations living under one roof. Even three generations living under one roof is difficult. Look at my children. Prince Shuo has more children, including a twelve-year-old daughter. The oldest of the others is only six or seven years old. Prince Qin is even worse. He doesn't even have a child yet..."

The emperor's face was full of melancholy when he spoke of this.

To the Queen, this was blatant disdain for the King of Qin's inability to produce children.

"The King of Qin came to see me a few days ago, and he himself mentioned that he wanted to have a child after Concubine Shen's leg injury healed."

How could the Queen allow the King of Qin to be disliked?

"He has been away from home since he was young, and it was hard to talk about it. He finally settled down in Kyoto in the past two years, but he married an extraordinary princess. The princess of Qin is an official in the court and often goes in and out of the military camp. It is too difficult for her to have a child. Fortunately, he has married a concubine and can have children."

So, it’s not his fault that he still has no children.

He is not an idle prince, and his princess is also different from ordinary people.

The emperor squinted his eyes, as if he had been thinking for a long time.

But after the emperor left, she could not hide her excitement and her heart could not calm down.

"Madam Du, who do you think His Majesty wants to make the crown prince?"

Unable to hold it back any longer, she covered her chest with her hands. Her face looked really bad, and it didn't seem like she was pretending.

"In my opinion, the King of Qin is the most suitable candidate."

"The melons grown at home are of course the best in the eyes of the family, but I listen to your majesty's opinion and also favor Prince Shuo."

"For so many years, hasn't it been King Shuo who has been fighting with our King Qin? I always think that the world will belong to our King Qin in the end."

Nanny Du's stance was very firm.

The queen couldn't help but smile more.

But the hand covering his heart couldn't help but tremble.

"After waiting for so many years, it is finally coming to an end. I just didn't expect that His Majesty planned to announce it at my birthday banquet."

"Since His Majesty has this intention, he will definitely not let Her Majesty down. Otherwise, why would he choose such a time?"

"Yes, it seems that our King Qin has a better chance of winning."

The queen nodded.

Looks like a lot of relaxation.

"Madam Du, pass the message out. I am weak and need to rest. All matters in Jiaomu Palace will be handed over to Concubine Shen for the time being. From today on, I will not see anyone anymore."

But she had other thoughts in mind.

In order to ensure the final result is foolproof, she has to do something.
