The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Chapter 94 The Secret of the Imperial Concubine and Wei Shu

Seeing his mother's serious expression, Prince Chen did not dare to delay and immediately sent someone to call Wei Shu.

When my mother and Mr. Wei are discussing things, no one can disturb them, including him.

This is against etiquette, but this is in his Prince Chen's mansion, so what his mother says is final.

There was a sound of footsteps in the yard. When Concubine Xin heard the unhurried sound, she knew that Wei Shu had arrived.

This man is always like this. Even when the situation is critical, he remains calm and composed.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and the secret guards were guarding the entire courtyard like an iron barrel. Wei Shu pushed the door open and entered the room where Concubine Xin was.

When the Imperial Concubine saw Wei Shu coming in, she rushed over and hugged him: "I'm finally seeing you. Do you know that I've been on the verge of collapse these past few days?"

Concubine Xin had been favored in the harem for more than twenty years. Except for the initial efforts she made to compete for favor with the queen, she had never felt that she had suffered such a great injustice.

Noble Consort Xin, who had defeated the Queen in the palace five years ago and was always known for her iron-blooded tactics, actually burst into tears in Wei Shu's arms.

Wei Shu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the tears from the Imperial Concubine. "Don't be sad, Imperial Concubine. If you have anything to say, please talk to me properly. Don't cry yourself to the point of hurting yourself."

Wei Shu was in his forties, dressed in a blue-gray robe, and spoke in a gentle voice, giving people a charm that had been precipitated by time.

The Imperial Noble Consort liked him this way, he was much better than the mediocre emperor in the palace.

The Imperial Concubine wiped her tears and came out of Wei Shu's arms: "Do you know what happened in the court meeting today?"

"understood."

Wei Shu would be the first to know anything that happened in the court.

Many ministers in the court were their spies, and there were also eunuchs in the palace who passed on information to them.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Daxuan court is in their hands.

However, all the court officials knew that Prime Minister Xin had Concubine Xin's support, but they did not know that Concubine Xin also had Wei Shu behind her to give her advice.

The Imperial Noble Consort poured out her bitterness like pouring out beans: "The old emperor has started to deal with us. Ever since that Situ's daughter came back from the border, the old emperor has been dissatisfied with everything about me. No matter how I try to please him, it's useless.

"The old emperor no longer comes to my palace. Today, he even took direct action and openly suppressed the power of my Xin family in the court."

"Your Majesty, these are nothing serious." Wei Shu looked extremely calm, and gently comforted the Imperial Concubine, "Your Majesty, don't worry."

"How can I not be anxious?" The Imperial Concubine frowned deeply. "The old emperor has not yet appointed Prince Xin as the crown prince. If he dies like this, we will have to fight with Prince Yong for it."

They originally wanted to poison King Yong, but they failed after several attempts. Later, they had no choice but to choose a chronic method.

But recently they received news that the genius doctor Yunya came to Shangjing to treat Prince Yong.

It is unclear whether King Yong is dead or not.

"That may not be the case." Wei Shu's expression was calm. "If His Majesty could issue a will before his death, allowing Prince Xin to ascend the throne, then Prince Xin would inherit the throne legitimately. The prerequisite is that the Imperial Concubine must remain calm, stabilize the old emperor, and continue to control the harem until the old emperor dies suddenly."

"I'm so angry, why didn't I think of this?"

The Imperial Concubine held Wei Shu's hand tightly and said, "You are the one who thinks clearly. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have survived in the palace until now."

The Imperial Noble Consort thought back to the past and couldn't help but sigh, "Thinking back to when I was vying for the Queen's favor, how much effort I put in. If it weren't for Zhe'er, I'd probably be dead by now."

Wei Shu poured a cup of tea for the Imperial Concubine. "As long as nothing goes wrong with Imperial Physician Fu, the entire Daxuan will soon be ours. The only thing I'm afraid of is..."

"What are you afraid of?" The imperial concubine asked with a frown, her expression tense.

Wei Shu's brows turned more serious. "I'm afraid that Dr. Yunya will come to the palace to treat the emperor and disrupt our plans."

Wei Shu, the genius doctor from Yunya, had seen this before. He was an extremely skilled doctor. As long as he took action, the disease would be cured.

The Imperial Concubine thought for a moment and said to Wei Shu, "The Emperor has only been feeling tired lately and wants to rest. He thinks it's because he's old and his energy is failing. He hasn't even summoned the Imperial Physician, so he probably won't summon the Divine Doctor Yunya to the palace to treat him."

"It's better to be careful." Wei Shu said cautiously.

The Imperial Concubine was silent for a moment: "Even if that genius doctor Yunya finds out the flaw, it's okay. He won't be able to find us."

"Well, they definitely won't find us." Wei Shu's expression was grim. "That's not what I'm worried about. I'm worried that if Divine Doctor Yunya enters the palace, the old emperor won't die easily."

With the medical skills of the genius doctor Yunya, it would be easy to prolong the emperor's life.

The Imperial Concubine frowned and said, "Just kill that genius doctor Yunya."

"He lives in Prince Yong's mansion and cannot be killed."

If their people could have broken into Prince Yong's mansion, Prince Yong would have died countless times already.

The Imperial Noble Consort couldn't help but worry: "The old emperor has become suspicious of the Xin family now. If the old emperor doesn't die, he will continue to suppress the Xin family."

The Xin family is currently the most powerful. Although they do not have a strong enough army, they still have the military force to control Shangjing City.

The old emperor has recently reused Ling Mohan, which has weakened some of their military strength, but this amount of military strength will not have any impact.

However, they could not allow the old emperor to continue suppressing the Xin family's power.

"Your Highness, please remain calm and respond to all changes with constancy."

"I understand." The imperial concubine sighed secretly. It seemed that she had to use all her skills to appease the old emperor first.

Only by getting close to the old emperor can you know his every move.

When the old emperor lived with her, it was so convenient for him to get news.

The old emperor became suspicious these days and has been sleeping in his own bedroom, so she couldn't get any information.

Wei Shu said coldly: "Recently, Prime Minister Xin and our people have been told not to act rashly. In one word, wait."

"Yes." The imperial concubine nodded in response.

Wei Shu paused and instructed the Imperial Noble Consort, "Your Highness, please keep an eye on the Empress of the Central Palace. She must not come out at this time."

Concubine Xin said disdainfully: "She has been in seclusion for five years. Even if she comes out, it will be useless..."

Xinya came out in a hurry today and didn't know that the queen had gone to the emperor's bedroom.

"Your Highness, don't be careless. The Empress is the Emperor's legal wife. Even when the Crown Prince was deposed, the Emperor couldn't banish her to the cold palace. This shows how important she is in the Emperor's heart. Moreover, the Empress has a certain amount of power behind her that should not be underestimated."

The Imperial Concubine pondered for a while and nodded: "You are thinking long-term. I will pay attention to it."

After she finished speaking, the Imperial Concubine thought of something, "And that Jia Zhongchun? He openly betrayed the Prime Minister's Mansion in the court today. This has a very bad impact. With him setting this precedent, I'm afraid that other court officials who support us will gradually waver."

Wei Shu gently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Doesn't Jia Zhongchun have a daughter?"

The Imperial Noble Consort recalled: "He has a daughter who just came of age this year. I saw her at a palace banquet. She's quite pretty."

Wei Shu said coldly, "Someone destroyed his daughter."
