Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Chapter 174 Concubine in the Cold Palace 8

It has to be said that the emperor's love for the imperial concubine is not as deep as she thought. It turns out that men are so realistic when their own interests are threatened.

Su Tong really wanted to create some minor troubles and then spread some rumors in order to continue to erode the emperor's love for the imperial concubine.

But God was on his side. First, the emperor had two more daughters, and his son was sick again (it was indeed his own doing, it was just a fever, his body was not damaged at all).

The emperor was a superstitious person, so he sought advice from the Imperial Observatory. However, the people there just liked to talk nonsense and were good at guessing the emperor's intentions, so they naturally followed the emperor's wishes.

In the past, those people in the Imperial Observatory did not dare to offend the Imperial Concubine. After all, the Imperial Concubine had the Emperor's only son. But now the Imperial Concubine has no prince and has lost the Emperor's love, so she naturally became cannon fodder.

In order to make the imperial concubine die with the reputation of being a disaster star, Su Tong waited for half a year before getting pregnant again, and this time her baby was definitely a boy.

There were other concubines in the harem who were pregnant, but most of them miscarried after one or two months of pregnancy. With great difficulty, some concubines survived, but their bodies were extremely weak.

This palace is a bit weird, and the emperor is a bit weird too.

Su Tong specially arranged his own people to investigate, but really didn't find anyone behind the incident. As for why those people had miscarriages...it could only be said that it was because of their poor health.

When Su Tong gave birth to another little prince, the emperor was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. At the same time, the Su family also gave her a push, saying that their daughters were lucky stars. Not only were their two daughters successfully selected, but one of them even gave birth to the emperor's only two sons.

The emperor and the empress dowager didn't think much about it at first, but suddenly they remembered that Su Tong had a younger sister, who was also pregnant.

The Queen Mother covered her aching chest and said, "If Lady Yue's baby had survived, it would have been a little prince. Alas, Imperial Concubine..."

The empress dowager did not make a fuss with the imperial concubine at the beginning when she looked at the eldest prince. But if she had protected Concubine Yue at the beginning, perhaps the little prince of Concubine Yue would have been born, and the imperial concubine would not be so arrogant and domineering as she is now, leading to the death of the eldest prince at a young age.

The emperor already had few sons, and when he thought of the child that Concubine Yue was pregnant with, he couldn't help but feel regretful. If Concubine Yue were still alive, he would have had a few more sons. After all, the daughters of the Su family were indeed lucky.

Su Tong was also directly conferred the title of imperial concubine because of the two little princes. She was originally conferred the title of noble concubine when she was pregnant, and was conferred the title of imperial concubine again after the birth of the children. The emperor even promised to confer the title of noble concubine when the two little princes grew up a little.

Su Tong has never been a virtuous beauty in the eyes of outsiders. She is naturally obedient in front of the emperor, and even learns all kinds of things to please the emperor.

But in front of these concubines, Su Tong was arrogant and even looked down on them.

But over time, Su Tong suddenly understood a truth: even though she was in a high position and had given birth to two little princes, she was ultimately just the emperor's plaything.

Su Tong sneered twice and immediately set a five-year plan for himself. In the following period, Su Tong gradually showed his talent, and this talent was political talent.

Fortunately, the people here are more open-minded, and there is no such saying that the harem cannot interfere in politics. Su Tong gave birth to two little princes, so the emperor would sometimes say some things, mainly to teach Su Tong not to cause trouble for the two little princes.

Su Tong also took advantage of this opportunity to place his own people in the court. After all, the Su family was unreliable, and that group of people were all fence-sitters, and none of them were capable.

Su Tong had no intention of letting the emperor go, no matter how good the emperor treated her, or even if he planned to make her a noble concubine, what was the use?

The imperial concubine was very favored before, and could be said to be the first person in the harem, and she also had a little prince by her side, but what did she get in the end? Even though her son died, the imperial concubine gave birth to two daughters, but didn't the emperor still send them to the Taoist temple?

The Taoist temple is not a good place, at least the conditions there are very poor. In addition, I intentionally made the imperial concubine suffer. I heard that the imperial concubine changed several times after she went there. She couldn't even get off the bed. She could only eat some vegetarian dishes every day. It was a suffering to live there.

No one in the harem should try to show sincerity to the emperor, so the emperor's health is getting worse day by day, but no one seems to think it's surprising. The main reason is that the emperor has only given birth to little princesses in recent years, and it is obvious that the yin is stronger than the yang, so it is normal for him to be in poor health, and the late emperor's health was not good either.

The emperor is in poor health and his two children are very young. The emperor really needs to think more about the two children, but after thinking about it, he feels that none of the ministers in the court can be trusted. But Su Tong is different. She is the biological mother of the two princes, and they naturally stand on the same political stance.

Su Tong planned for herself the path of Wu Zetian. Instead of becoming the emperor's favorite woman, it is better to become the emperor's ally. Sometimes the binding of interests can go further.

The emperor is in poor health and needs someone who can help him handle state affairs. Su Tong is the best choice. The two are not only husband and wife, but also have common interests - two little princes. Moreover, Su Tong is also very smart and knows how to draw inferences from one example. He is born to be a politician.

There were also rumors that Su Tong was a hen crowing at dawn, and some people said that Su Tong was the reincarnation of Wu Zetian. When the emperor heard this, he just smiled faintly.

Even though Wu Zetian made many mistakes, she did have an outstanding performance in politics, and the throne was inherited by her descendants. The most important thing is that Wu Zetian cleared all obstacles for her descendants.

The emperor was not a petty person. As his health deteriorated day by day, the emperor did not blame anyone and still looked gentle and generous. In this respect, he was much better than other emperors. If Su Tong did not want to seize power, he would actually want to grow old with such a person, because a gentle person means that he has no lethality.

Perhaps it was because he had been in a high position for too long and had seen many people with ulterior motives, so he wanted to find some gentle people who seemed innocent. Although the emperor was not a naive person, he was at least good to the concubines in the harem, as long as their interests were not affected.

After enduring twelve years, the emperor finally closed his eyes, and Su Tong took control of the power. Just when everyone thought that he would rule the country from behind the scenes, Su Tong ascended the throne and became emperor.

This move caught everyone off guard. The queen didn't know what to do. If Su Tong was behind the scenes, she would still be the queen mother. But if Su Tong ascended the throne, what would happen to them, the concubines of the previous dynasty?
