After tonight's events, she knew that Shen Lingjue was mature and cautious, and had foresight. To be able to turn danger into opportunity, this kind of person was much stronger than the ruthless, fierce and stubborn Crown Prince.
"I am unworthy of Imperial Father's praise." Shen Lingjue stood up and bowed, "This son dares to request for your order, investigate the source of this hidden weapon, and capture the culprit.
The Emperor hurriedly helped him up and was extremely excited. "I have the same intentions. I'm afraid that this will be dangerous. I didn't expect you to have the same intention already."
Feng Ningyan also stood up and said, "Wife will definitely give his all to help His Highness King Yu. Please rest assured royal father."
The emperor looked at his son's daughter-in-law and nodded, "The unsettled nature of the harem is a result of the little control I have over it. With regards to the Chen Ming Gong, he would definitely be able to find out. If Empress allowed Consort Shu to be unborn, we will definitely give him an explanation. Yuwangfei has also suffered, when you finish handling this task, and have the results of Li Yu's case, we will heavily reward you. "
Feng Ningyan had gone to find Li Yu in order to help him clear his grievances. Now that the emperor was suspicious of the empress, he would most likely remove the Consort Shu's confinement right away.
She was very pleased and felt that she did not kneel that night for nothing.
After eating the brunch, the two of them openly left the dryness palace and rode out of the Imperial City.
The sky was already bright as everyone saw Shen Lingjue carrying Feng Ningyan and walking out of dryness palace. As for the two of them, they chatted happily with the emperor using their brunch, and soon after, news of them reached the Yi Palace.
The crown prince was supervising the country and presiding over the morning assembly. As soon as he left the assembly, he heard about it the moment he entered the Yi Palace.
The Queen could only summon Shen Youhuang to persuade the crown prince.
"I'm going to kill the King Yu and Feng Ningyan!" The crown prince fell something and shouted, "Ever since Shen Lingjue was born, she has been the favorite of our royal father. When has royal father ever let me go to the dryness palace to eat with him? I did my best to stop the marriage between him and the Phoenix Palace, but every single failure would cause him and Feng Ningyan to gain even more trust from royal father for no reason! "
The Queen clenched her teeth and said hatefully: "Di'er, you are too impatient. Although this time you did not kill Feng Ningyan, but in the future, you will have more wings. When we deal with Shen Lingjue and the Feng Family, we will think things over carefully."
The Crown Prince shook his hands, "What are you trying so hard for? According to what I've said, we'll just send assassins to kill them. If ten people aren't enough, then we'll send a hundred! Anyways, I don't want to see Shen Lingjue's complacent appearance again! "
Shen Youhuang sat at the side and heard. "Brother, this group of assassins have been training hard for the sake of their future plans. They have already been exposed twice, we cannot use them again in the near future."
The Queen got up and paced around the room. Are they really going to ignore the existence of the King Yu just like that? "
Shen Lingjue said to the crown prince in a low voice, "Brother, did you forget that Prince Yu's Mansion still had another Hua Ruoyu? We don't need to deal with Shen Lingjue now, after Hua Ruoyu has completed her mission in the Prince Yu's Mansion, we don't need to be afraid of anyone anymore. "
When the Crown Prince and Empress heard this, they both nodded their heads.
"Tell Hua Ruoyu to hurry up, I don't have much patience!"
At this time, in the Consort Shu, before the emperor had arrived, the rewards had arrived.
The eunuch, Little Wei Zi, who read the rewards, finished reading the emperor's orders and took the rewards from the palace maid Xu Er who was standing beside the Consort Shu. She then said, "Your Highness, prepare yourself.
Consort Shu thanked Wei Zi and asked Xu Er to help her get out of bed.
As Xu Er served the Consort Shu, she also secretly shed tears, "Empress, you really have godly foresight. This time, the Yuwangfei is really busy … It was not in vain that you suffered so much, but it is a pity for our little prince … "
The Consort Shu patted Xu Er's hands and said softly, "There's nothing to cry about. Imperial Physician Yan said that this child is born lacking and it would be difficult to protect him. It is not because I have the heart of a mother to use the musk deer pearl sent by the empress as his talisman of death. It is because if the empress is not eliminated, it is impossible for me to live a peaceful life.
Xu Er dried her tears and nodded. "That's right, the Empress is still young. As long as your majesty is healthy and your kindness to the Empress does not decline, the Empress will soon have another child …"
Consort Shu looked at her pale face in the mirror and caressed the dark circles under her eyes. She instructed Xu Er, "There's no need to use makeup and pearl paste to cover your haggard appearance today. This kind of expression is just perfect …"
Xu Er felt her heart ache: "Empress, the emperor has already released you from your confinement, but this servant had sent people out to investigate, and did not hear any orders to spread to the Yi Palace. Didn't the Yuwangfei inform on the empress? "Otherwise, the emperor …"
Consort Shu smiled lightly: "King Yu is quite cautious when speaking to her. She won't fight a battle with no certainty of winning, it's the same reason why I hid the musk deer pearl from you the last time. Without conclusive evidence, the Empress and the Crown Prince could not be implicated. That would only complicate matters and make it out of control. The King Yu will definitely find out who killed Li Yu first and strip the cocoon clean. In the end, there will be no place for the Empress or the Crown Prince to hide. "
When Xu Er heard it, she nodded earnestly: "This servant understands. That's right, Empress, how do we deal with that hand warming furnace? "
"Put it on my bed. It's time for the emperor to see it." I should always seek justice for the little prince! "
Consort Shu looked at the person in the mirror and laughed coldly.
"The emperor has arrived!"
The voice of the servant was transmitted to the Chen Ming Gong.
Consort Shu went up to welcome him. After getting sick, she looked weak and weak, which made Shen Chenxuan feel even more pity and love for him.
Shen Chenxuan helped her up and entered the bedchamber in a warm manner.
The two of them sat on the soft couch and chatted. Shen Chenxuan's attitude towards the Consort Shu was much better than before, reminding him of the times when he had just been pampered.
Shen Chenxuan held her in his arms and felt that her hands were cold, so he sent Xu Er to the hand warming furnace.
The shining, golden hand warming furnace s that were inlaid with musk deer pearl were in the hands of the Consort Shu, emitting a delicate fragrance that assaulted the nose.
Shen Chenxuan frowned, and suddenly asked: "Where did this hand warming furnace come from? "I don't remember admiring something like this before."
Xu Er hurriedly reported, "It was a few days ago, when Imperial Concubine Su went to pay respects to Yi Palace, the Empress saw that she was afraid of the cold and asked someone to bring the hand warming furnace over to reward him. "The Empress really likes it. If you feel cold, then hug this …"
"Empress?!" Shen Chenxuan was shocked, he immediately ordered Wu Nianen to identify the body.
Wu Nianen was also shocked, and quickly ordered his men to move the hand warming furnace far away.
"Reporting to Herba Euphorbiae, this hand warming furnace is completely filled with musk deer pearl …."
The emperor Shen Chenxuan flew into a rage and stood up, pacing back and forth in the bedchamber like a trapped beast.
It turned out it was not like what Li Yu had said at all. It was because he did not eat breakfast, had been exposed to the sun for a long time, and his vital energy and blood were insufficient. It was because Consort Shu had long been affected by the musk deer pearl and had lost its vitality!
"Empress, Queen!" Shen Chenxuan's heart chilled to the extreme, "You should be the mother of all things, young and young, yet why do you have the heart of a snake and cannot tolerate other concubine's royal son who have given birth to us!"
"Wu Nianen! The empress is jealous of your viciousness, using the musk deer pearl to harm Consort Shu's mischievous embryo, she has committed a heinous crime! Everyone was forbidden from entering Yi Palace, and no one was allowed to visit, including the crown prince! and take back the phoenix imprint, with the empress dowager in charge of the imperial harem's affairs; give the Consort Shu the right to represent the six palaces, and follow the empress dowager's orders with regards to major matters.
The autumn wind gusted by, bringing with it an icy chill.
The sky above the capital had suddenly changed.
