Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Although the emperor liked Concubine Wang, he liked obedient and sensible concubines more. A trace of contemplation flashed across his face, and no one knew what he was thinking. He left with the eunuch.

Su Tong made essential oil from the picked locust flowers and then mixed it into incense. The whole room was filled with the scent of spring.

Su Tong presented the incense he had prepared to Empress Song Yu and the Empress Dowager, who also received their rewards. The only difference was that the Empress' reward this time seemed to be a bit heavier than before.

Just when Su Tong was puzzled, the head maid beside the queen said soothingly: "Your Majesty, you are the head of the palace after all. Next time you encounter a concubine who is disrespectful to you, you can go to you and do it. There is no need to keep it in your heart."

Su Tong suddenly realized that the women in the harem were not stupid. Wang Guiren's actions in the imperial garden had probably been known to those who had ulterior motives. The reason why Wang Guiren had not been punished yet was mainly because she was still pregnant. Once she gave birth to the child...

Su Tong: "They are just some small matters. It is my fault for bothering you to worry about them. However, please go back and tell your majesty that although I have a soft personality, I am not a pushover and will not let anyone bully me."

The aunt smiled and nodded and left. After all, Su Tong was indeed an excellent helper to their queen. He was in a high position but did not compete for favor. He was obedient and sensible and had never overstepped the boundaries. More importantly, both parties were relatives and could benefit from each other in the harem.

Su Tong is also an old fox who has lived in the mountains for thousands of years. The queen may be very good to her, but these are all requirements. However, she no longer cares about these. If she only focuses on the immediate interests and fights every day, it would be really annoying. It is better to just lie down. Anyway, life is pretty good.

Su Tong lived his life in an ordinary way, but he didn't go looking for trouble, but trouble found him instead.

Concubine Wang was having difficulty giving birth, and a palace maid came out and pointed out that she was the one who instigated this. She couldn't bear to see Concubine Wang suffer this fate, so she wanted to tell the truth, and after she finished speaking, she hit her head against the wall.

When Su Tong came, he was still confused, but when he understood the whole story, his face relaxed.

“Your Majesty and Empress, the palace I live in is quite remote, and I don’t usually interact with the concubines. Most of the time, we gather in the Imperial Garden.

Just now that palace maid said that it was me who asked him to harm Concubine Wang. Although I did have some dirty things with Concubine Wang, they were just trivial matters between girls. I have let it go long ago and will not murder the royal heir for this matter. You must know that it is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the family.

Besides, that little palace maid said that I bribed her, but when and where was she? I can't just open her mouth and frame this matter on me, right?"

The emperor was not a fool, but he felt a dull pain on his forehead. Before the beauty contest, the harem had always been peaceful and stable, and there had never been any murder. But after a few new people were selected, they seemed to be well-behaved on the surface, but they were doing a lot of small things behind the scenes.

"Noble Concubine Su, please get up. I know you are a law-abiding person." Although the emperor did not have much impression of Su Tong, he suffered such a great injustice from Noble Concubine Wang and had not yet complained to anyone, which showed that he still had some magnanimity and would not hire someone to kill someone for such a trivial matter.

"Peng Sihai, send someone to investigate. At worst, they can dig it out one by one. My harem cannot tolerate such filth." The emperor's face turned gloomy. The queen next to him also didn't look very good. She stood up and saluted to the emperor in fear and trepidation.

"It's all my fault. I didn't manage the harem well, and caused His Majesty to worry about it."

The emperor immediately helped the queen up and said, "Since ancient times, there have been thieves who have been thieves for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. If you want to harm someone, how could others notice it?"

Peng Sihai acted very quickly. First, he investigated the background of this little palace maid, and then he dug up one by one the people this little palace maid had contacted with before. In the end, he locked those people up. Some people were still stubborn, but in less than a day, they started to confess one after another.

They were doing this for money, and no one wanted to lose their lives for money, so many people revealed some little secrets, such as that they were actually the people of some concubines, used to monitor other concubines...

The emperor looked extremely unhappy after seeing those confessions, especially when several concubines coaxed Wang Guiren into eating more during her pregnancy so that the child would be born white and fat.

The emperor looked at the confessions and felt his heart sink. It seemed that the women in the harem were not as obedient as he thought. Even his favorite concubine had people around other concubines. What on earth was he trying to do? Some of them even reached out to his own offspring.

The emperor also understood that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. There is no perfect person in this world. Even the queen has her own little thoughts. But as long as she does not cross her bottom line, there will be no problem. But this time he was really angry.

The emperor issued an edict to immediately exile a large number of palace maids and eunuchs, and there was a major purge of people around the concubines. Even if someone had bought them before, they were now left with nothing.

What the emperor probably didn't expect was that Su Tong had always been law-abiding and had not placed anyone in the harem. He... just stayed in his own little palace every day, living like a transparent person.

The emperor also understood that the other party no longer had the desire to compete for favor, but he still hoped to have more concubines like this who were obedient and behaved themselves.

The matter of Lady Wang has also been investigated. It was done by another lady who was pregnant.

She saw that Concubine Wang's pregnant belly was pointed and her own belly was round, so she thought she was carrying a girl and the other one was carrying a boy.

She was afraid that the other child would steal the favor of her own child, so she killed him immediately, hoping to kill two children with one body, and at the same time frame the incident on Su Tong, who had a conflict with Concubine Wang.

Concubine Wang exhausted all her strength and even suffered heavy bleeding. In the end, she gave birth to a daughter. She would never be able to have children again in her life. The Concubine was so panicked that she gave birth to a child prematurely. The child cried very weakly and it was unclear whether the child could survive.

The emperor felt a little headache, so he rewarded Concubine Wang with a lot of things as a consolation. As for the other Concubine...

The emperor hesitated for a moment, thinking that his child would never learn well if he followed such a mother, so he immediately took the child to Su Tong's lap to raise.

After the queen learned about this, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she smiled, "This is a good thing. Sister Su has a child, and she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."

Yes, although Su Tong has a little prince, the little prince is not his biological son, and the two of them are still separated by a bond. Not to mention that the little prince's biological mother is still alive, so it is estimated that the two of them will not be particularly close in the future.
