The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor

"I dare not use this matter to deceive Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will pay more attention to Concubine Xi's every move to prevent Concubine Xi from following in her footsteps."

Jiang Huaiyuan sighed helplessly. He had said everything he needed to say. If His Majesty still didn't believe it, he had no other choice. He just hoped that Concubine Xi no longer had the idea of committing suicide.

Xiahou Xuan was greatly shocked. He didn't suspect that Jiang Huaiyuan was deceiving him with such things. He just felt that the Jiang Wange described by Jiang Huaiyuan was very different from the Jiang Wange he knew.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."

After Jiang Huaiyuan left, Xiahou Xuan kept thinking about what Jiang Huaiyuan said. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so he immediately returned to Jiang Wange.

After seeing Jiang Wange falling asleep on the couch again, Xiahou Xuan's heart finally settled down.

He must have been overthinking it. After entering the palace, Jiang Wange never had the slightest thought of committing suicide. Perhaps it was just because she had stayed in that kind of place for too long that she had such bad thoughts. Now that she was rescued, she naturally recovered.

In Chenghuan Palace, Rou'er was massaging Concubine Shu's shoulders.

"Your Highness, I am stupid and still can't understand why Your Highness wants me to go and inform Concubine Xi of the news? Doesn't Your Highness want His Majesty's favor?"

Seeing the maid asking this, Concubine Shu curled her lips and smiled:

"You haven't met Concubine Xi many times, nor have you ever been with her, so you don't know. She is a very charming woman. When people see her, they can't help but want to get close to her. No matter whether they are men or women, they will submit to her."

"My lady, I still don't understand..."

"Your Majesty likes Concubine Xi very much. He likes her so much that he is willing to resist the court officials and disobey the Queen Mother for her. Therefore, I do not think that the Queen Mother can achieve her goal by asking the previous court to put pressure on Your Majesty. Rather than trying to do it in vain, I would rather do Concubine Xi a favor. Your Majesty will definitely find out who sent the note, and he will definitely know that it was me who tipped off."

When Rou'er heard what Concubine Shu said, she suddenly realized:

"Your Highness wants Concubine Xi to owe you a favor, right?"

"That's right. Concubine Xi is a straightforward person. She will repay favors and revenge. This time, I have done her a favor. When the Japanese princess is in trouble, she will definitely lend a hand. This is what I want."

After hearing what Concubine Shu said, Rou'er finally figured out the twists and turns and understood her mother's painstaking efforts.

"Your Majesty is indeed a man of foresight. I am ashamed of myself."

"Just follow me. If you don't know anything, I will teach you. Just learn slowly."

Concubine Shu looked at Rou'er tenderly. After all, they grew up together and their friendship was incomparable to that of others.

On the other hand, after Xiahou Cong borrowed two Xuanyi Guards from Xiahou Xuan, he searched Chen Zonghe's house upside down and finally found a record book that looked like an account book.

The Xuanyi Guard immediately imitated the handwriting and copied it, put the fake one back, and took the real one away.

As soon as Xiahou Cong got the account book, he went to find Xiahou Xuan.

Xiahou Xuan was very angry when he saw the large and small amounts of gold recorded in the account book!

"Damn it, it's absolutely damned! A mere governor of Jiangnan has embezzled so much real money in the past three years! I really look at you in a new light!"

"Royal brother, this should be the account book. Do you want to arrest Chen Zonghe and interrogate him directly?" Xiahou Cong asked impatiently.

"No, what I am sure of is that there must be more than one account book. This account book only records the transactions between Chen Zongyuan and Chen Zonghe. Chen Zonghe is just a lackey of the Xia family. If the silver falls into Chen Zonghe's hands and he is arrested, he will deny any relationship with the Xia family. It will only implicate the two brothers of the Chen family."

Xiahou Xuan felt that this was far from enough. Since he was going to investigate, he had to investigate thoroughly and destroy the Xia family in one fell swoop! He absolutely could not give the Xia family any chance to breathe!

"So what does the emperor mean?"

"Continue investigating. Find the account book of Chen Zonghe's transaction with the Xia family, and convict them together. At the same time, have a Xuanyi Guard watch Chen Zonghe's movements day and night. I want to know who he meets and what he does every day."

Xiahou Xuan narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of coldness.

"Yes, I understand. I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on it right away."

"Well, you better be careful. Don't let Xia Qingyuan, that fox, figure out what you are up to. It would be bad if you alert the enemy."

"Don't worry, my royal brother. I was tricked by the Xia family once, and I will never be tricked by them a second time. I am still waiting for my royal brother to eliminate the Xia family and marry Qingyu!"

After saying that, Xiahou Cong left Longyin Palace in high spirits.

Xiahou Xuan looked at his brother's happy back and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, his eyes full of doting.

The Queen Mother suffered a loss but did not give up, and was still thinking of continuing to make trouble.

"Madame Sun, do you think I still have a chance to abort the baby in that little bitch Concubine Xi's belly?"

"Queen Dowager, don't blame me for speaking bluntly. Your Majesty is protecting Concubine Xi like the apple of your eye. We can't get close to Concubine Xi for the time being. Besides, Concubine Xi is already five months pregnant with the heir. She is already showing signs of pregnancy. Unless there is a major accident, a minor fight will not be enough to cause a miscarriage."

Nanny Sun was an experienced person and knew at a glance that Jiang Wange's baby was being taken good care of. Unless she was directly poisoned, the child would not be miscarried easily.

"Do I have to watch helplessly as that bastard is born and usurps the title of your Majesty's eldest son? Your Majesty already favors her. If she gives birth to a prince, your Majesty will definitely have a reason to make her a concubine, and then the queen! How can Concubine Shu compete with Concubine Xi, who has a child, for the position of queen?"

The Queen Mother said angrily.

Nanny Sun knew this truth very well, but the current situation was really too unfavorable for them.

"Your Majesty and the court officials had such a bad relationship before. I guess he knew that the Queen Mother was behind it, so he refused to obey. I think the Queen Mother could adopt a conciliatory policy and use tenderness to persuade Your Majesty to try to favor other concubines? I think the relationship between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty was too tense before. This is not good."

Nanny Sun's words awakened the empress dowager and made her realize that the measures she had taken before were problematic.

"Yes, Madam Sun, you are right. I should be gentler and more patient with His Majesty. Then His Majesty may listen to me."

"Your Majesty is right to think so. Think about it, when His Majesty was still the Crown Prince, you and he had a great relationship. I'm sure Your Majesty is also nostalgic..."
