C65 disaster

"Are you sure?"

After hearing the eunuch's report, the emperor's gaze grew cold.

The eunuch knelt on the ground, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, but he did not dare to extend his hand to wipe it away.

"This servant does not dare to bully the sovereign."

"Calamity." After a long while, the emperor coldly said these two words.

The eunuch did not dare to reply.

The emperor glanced at the eunuchs kneeling before him. "De Hua, stand up and reply."

De Hua replied as he stood up and bowed.

The Emperor drummed his fingers on the dragon table.

After the empress's death, although the empress had protected the Prince Rong, the Yin family's influence couldn't compare to the empress's glory when she was still alive due to the empress's death.

At that time, the Prime Minister Du was still young, and wanted to help the Prince Rong. But at that time, the Yin Family looked down on the Prime Minister Du, as they knew that both Du Jinse and the Prince Rong were still young.

After that, when Mo Wangfei heard about this, she went to the palace and begged the Emperor to betroth Du Jinse to his son so that the woman who was left behind would not suffer. At that time, the Emperor even scolded her for being a woman.

At that time, the Emperor was the same as the Yin Family, he did not put the Prime Minister Du in his eyes. After all, in their eyes, the Prime Minister Du was just a new expensive place, how could it compare to a family of Feudal Lords? In the eyes of everyone, the fact that he could marry Du Jinse's mother was already an exception.

Everything was unpredictable. Who would have thought that in a few short years, the Prime Minister Du would actually possess a power that belonged to him — a power that even the Imperial Family feared.

At that time, the Emperor was still hesitating about whether he should use the marriage alliance to take this power into his own pocket.

The Prime Minister Du actually personally came to the palace to ask for the emperor's decree for his daughter.

"Calamity." The emperor repeated the change.

Who would've thought that the situation in the middle of the court would be tied to a small girl?

The imperial concubine was happy to see this happen. His Majesty planned things out in his heart, but it wasn't good for him to say them aloud.

The eunuch did not dare to interrupt the emperor's train of thought.

After a long while, the emperor pulled back his thoughts and lightly glanced at the eunuch. "You can't mention this to anyone else."

The eunuch answered and left.

The Emperor was lost in thought.

He told King Mo to find Du Jinse, but he did not bring it up with him.

From what he had said to the eunuch, it seemed like there was some meaning to it. Could it be that all of this was intentional?

The Emperor rubbed his forehead.

He was still in his prime, but his children had already matured. His daughter was one thing, but his son …

The emperor closed his eyes in exhaustion.

It was not that he did not know of the Imperial Concubine's ambitions. He had initially wanted to borrow the Imperial Concubine's strength to suppress the prince, but these days passed by too quickly.

He was not old yet, but her imperial concubine was already making plans for the future. In his heart, he was frustrated that going to the imperial concubine's palace was becoming fewer and fewer. Who knew that the imperial concubine would not know to reflect on herself and instead think that she was old and decrepit, unable to grasp the emperor's heart.

The emperor smirked mockingly.

Imperial Concubine was also a smart person, but unfortunately, her knowledge was still too little. If she trained for a few more years, it would be hard to protect Prince Qing.

Since the imperial concubine had come to ask for it, he would go with the flow and issue a decree. The Prince Qing was proud and arrogant, how could he bear to live with a woman whom he had not loved while being forced to marry.

As expected, things had gone in the direction he had expected.

What a pity.

The Emperor sighed. He was only one step away.

Although the Prime Minister Du was powerful, they were just civil servants after all. They could not compare to the other generals, so if they really wanted to cause trouble, they had to use force.

The Emperor was somewhat regretful. These civil officials were the best. If this matter was completed, wouldn't he be able to worry about the Prime Minister Du?

At the beginning, even the Emperor was caught unprepared.

He was just a step away.

In fact, before this happened, he had already noticed it, and was only pretending to be deaf and mute. In order to get rid of Prime Minister Du, he did not hesitate to let his two grown sons get involved.

Was the heavens really helping the Prime Minister Du?

After thinking about it for a few days, the Emperor finally realized that he had missed out on the most important person.

Du Jinse.

The entire plan could be said to be perfect. Although Du Jinse was a little dumb, it was the most important step.

In the hands of the Emperor, there were also some people. Although the Prince Qing said that Du Jinse was dead, the Prime Minister Du immediately agreed with him while crying. His spy said that after Princess Qing left the Prince Qing’s Manor, he made a trip back to the Du Residence and disappeared without a trace.

When everyone fell to the ground, this' culprit 'could be said to have retreated completely. Even the Emperor couldn't understand it no matter how much he thought about it. Could it be that he had underestimated this woman?

The emperor shook her head. He believed in her judgement, Du Jinse was just a stupid woman who didn't have any schemes.

Evidently, before Du Jinse returned to the Du Residence, the Prime Minister Du was also unable to resolve this difficult situation.

But when Du Jinse returned, Prime Minister Du had brought his aides to Prince Qing’s Manor to "apologize" and coincidentally found some clues about him, which was why he dared to stir trouble in front of the.

Prince Qing suffered such a huge loss at Du Jinse's hands, it was obvious that he was humiliated so much that he was naturally unwilling to speak the truth.

The Jedi struck back, retreating unscathed.

The reason why the Emperor told King Mo to find Du Jinse, was because he wanted to see how this woman had done it. Thinking of the expert behind the scenes, the Emperor's feelings became complicated.

From his point of view, the expert behind Du Jinse's scenes was equivalent to the expert behind the scenes in the Prime Minister Du.

Only, he never expected that King Mo would be involved.

Thinking about this, he was a bit angry. This idiot had been used by others, but he didn't know it yet.

Looks like I still have to make a trip to Prince Rong.

Thinking of this, the Emperor opened his mouth and said, "Men, go ask for the Prince Rong."

Prince Rong didn't know what happened and came over quickly.

The Emperor was waiting for him at the imperial study. Seeing him come, he put down the imperial report in his hands and announced the entrance of the Prince Rong.

After giving the Prince Rong a seat, the Emperor immediately spoke up.

"I've heard that you're thanking a guest behind closed doors?" The emperor asked casually.

"Prince Rong stood up," After such a thing happened, I felt heartbroken for Prince Qing, grieved for Princess Qing, and was also extremely fearful for himself.

The Emperor silently nodded his head. If he didn't know that such a big thing had happened, then he must have said the wrong thing.

"You never went to the Prince Mo’s Manor?" the Emperor asked.

The Prince Rong did not know why the Emperor would ask that, so he replied while considering.

"Since the I has shut her doors to thank this guest, naturally, she has not left her own Duke Palace."

The Prince Rong thought to himself. As for the reason why he had gone to the Prince Mo’s Manor to thank his guest in private, was that the Emperor had asked such a question …

Prince Rong felt a faint unease in his heart.

"I originally wanted to grant you a marriage with the daughter of the Prime Minister Du, but who would have thought that woman actually took a fancy to the Prince Qing. It's fated to be heaven's will for something like this to happen, so you don't have to blame yourself too much." The Emperor sighed.

Prince Rong respectfully agreed.

The Emperor thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Today, we sent someone to reprimand King Mo, but De Hua found out that King Mo's concubine was actually the daughter of the Prime Minister Du."
