"It is precisely because His Highness the Prince Su is so precious that if I were to personally lead troops, not only will it bring about the majesty of the imperial family, it can also pacify the people and make them think of the Emperor's kindness." With that, Qin Song knelt down and kowtowed, saying loudly, "Your majesty's actions are wise, this subject has no objections."

The other ministers echoed, "Your Majesty is wise, this subject has no objections."

Seeing this, Chen Ling could only kneel down along with him, indicating that he had no objections.

Ming Chengjun was very satisfied with this result. After the matter was settled, the topic changed.

Chen Lin also knew that the crown prince had lost his power and that Ming Jiling was favored by the crown prince, but he owed a debt of gratitude to the empress's mother, the Shen family.

However, looking at it now, Prince Su leading soldiers was something everyone wished for. He was powerless to change the outcome.

After the morning assembly was over, some of the officials began walking towards the palace gate, chatting about what had happened today in the imperial court.

At a time like this, it should be the crown prince himself who would step in. However, the emperor sent the Prince Su over this time, making people wonder if the emperor had any intentions of crippling the crown prince and making him reestablish his position.

Not only many ministers in the court had the same thought, even Ming Jize had one as well.

Peace Palace.

"This is so infuriating! "What the hell is he, daring to ride on my head!" Ming Jize walked into the inner hall filled with anger, and sat down by the side of the table without even inviting An Ran.

When he thought of the matter at the imperial court, he could not suppress his anger. He immediately swept the tea set on the table to the ground.

"All of you can leave now." The empress spoke in a low voice as she dismissed all of the court ladies in the hall, leaving behind her trusted aides to guard the door.

"Mother, didn't you tell me not to be impatient? Now that the Royal Father has handed over the military power to Sixth Brother, if the extermination of the bandits goes smoothly, then it will not only be a great achievement! "

Ming Jize said in a flustered and exasperated tone.

If Ming Jiling really sent out troops this time, it would be considered as a small achievement to get rid of those bandits. The most important thing was that he would be able to win back a lot of people's hearts.

He had always suppressed himself in the imperial court. If he still didn't have the heart of the people in his heart, then the position of crown prince would really be in danger.

I've heard of this as well. Your majesty the Emperor has spoken golden, jade-like words. There will be no room for negotiation after this imperial edict." "Huang!

After a sigh, his expression turned ugly.

"Imperial Mother, now that things have come to this, if we don't act now, it will be too late. Your son has seen that the only way to do so is to completely wipe out this great danger in our hearts. Only then can we rest peacefully." A hint of ruthlessness flashed past Ming Jize's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to wipe his neck.

The empress lowered her eyes in thought for a moment. "Ze'er, this is no small matter. We must not leave any traces behind, and it would be best if we could push their deaths onto those bandits. There will be no eyes on the battlefield, so when the time comes, even if they want to investigate, they won't be able to find anything."

She was worried that her son was anxious, so she repeatedly reminded him of a lot of things, and at the same time, comforted him.

"This son understands." After Ming Jize heard the Queen's words, his panicked heart calmed down a little. As long as Ming Jiling died, no one would be able to shake his position, and he would no longer have to worry!

The two talked for a while more before Ming Jize took his leave.

"Your son will take his leave first." Ming Jize came in a hurry, and then left in a hurry.

The queen sat on the soft couch, her heart heavy as she thought about the events of the past two days.

"Mama Lin, follow me out for a walk."

The Queen sat on the soft couch for a long time, still feeling stuffy, before bringing a few of the Lin Mama s and palace maids to the imperial garden to relax.

It was just that the path of enemies was narrow, and she didn't want to see who it was that met whom.

Not long after the Queen and her party arrived at the imperial flower garden, they saw Ming Chengjun and Noble Consort Su strolling leisurely, throwing away the palace guards and eunuchs who were following them. The two of them looked extremely intimate, just like an ordinary couple.

Noble Consort Su's smile stung the Queen's eyes.

"This concubine greets Your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed." Even if the Queen didn't want to see the Noble Consort Su, she couldn't avoid him no matter what.

"No need for formalities." Ming Chengjun replied in a low voice.

"Thank you, your majesty."

"This concubine greets Empress." Seeing that, the Noble Consort Su immediately let go of Ming Chengjun's hand and blessed the Queen.

"Little sister, you don't have to be so courteous." The Empress carried a fitting smile on her face, and extended her hand to support Noble Consort Su as she spoke, looking like a deep sisterhood.

She patted Noble Consort Su's hands and sighed: "Today, I heard that Prince Su will be bringing troops to exterminate bandits in a few days, so little sister should be lonely in the palace again. If little sister is bored everyday, then you should come to my palace more often, and it just so happens that Ze'er's classes are very heavy recently.

The Queen saw that Ming Chengjun was in a good mood and thought of the words that were sent over from the imperial court, so she felt extremely uneasy. She took this opportunity to say a few good things about Ming Jize in front of him, and also wanted to test his attitude.

"If Noble Consort has nothing better to do in the palace, send someone to the imperial concubine hall to pass on the message, chenqie will accompany Noble Consort to relieve the boredom and amusement." Noble Consort Su retracted her hand without batting an eyelid, and the two spoke a few more polite words, causing the Empress to turn her gaze towards Ming Chengjun.

Your Majesty, Ze'er has been extremely diligent in his studies recently, and it has been some time since you have examined his lessons. A few days ago, the Imperial Tutor praised Ze'er in front of his concubine, saying that he had been very diligent recently. The Queen followed Ming Chengjun and strolled along the small path in the imperial garden.

"It's good that he's willing to work hard to make up for his lack of effort. If he can remember all the teachings of the Tutor, then I won't have wasted my efforts!" Ming Chengjun said in a low voice. After he finished speaking, his voice paused slightly, and then he said, "Ze'er has mediocre talent, and has always been impatient in his work. He often doesn't understand the seriousness of the matter, so it's about time the Imperial Tutor used a few ruthless methods."

Ming Chengjun's words were clearly saying that he was mediocre and stupid, and that he did not know how to study properly.

"The Emperor is right." The smile on the queen's face stiffened at these words.

She had originally thought that even if Ming Chengjun didn't praise Ming Jize, he would at least have a few words of concern after hearing that he had been slapped on the head, right? Unexpectedly, he did not ask any further questions and could not help but feel disappointed in his heart.

After Ming Chengjun finished speaking, he looked at the Noble Consort Su who was half a step behind, and then, he understood the Empress's thoughts. He continued to speak, "Although Ze'er has poor talent, as long as he works hard, we will definitely be able to become an enlightened Monarch after a hundred years."

His words were sufficient to prove that he did not have any thoughts of crippling the crown prince.

The empress felt reassured as she listened to his words, her previously uneasy heart calming down once again.

Noble Consort Su's expression did not change at all. She knew from the moment she stepped into the harem that as long as the crown prince did not put down his heinous crimes, his position would not be shaken.

The Shen family's power was deep, and even as the emperor, Ming Chengjun was unable to shake their foundations. Therefore, unless the crown prince made a grave mistake, regardless of whether it was according to the ancestral system or the power of the empress's mother, Ming Jize's position as crown prince would not be annulled.

Although the Queen calmed down after hearing what Ming Chengjun said, Ming Jiling was still a big problem to her.

She followed Ming Chengjun and Yue Yang on their journey and found an excuse to return to the palace.

Ming Chengjun and Noble Consort Su, on the other hand, continued to stroll on the small path, and in the end, the two of them entered the pavilion and rested.

Ming Chengjun made the servants stand guard far away, leaving only the two people around the pavilion.

"My beloved concubine, in truth, no matter how you look at it, we wish for our Ling'er to become the crown prince more." My beloved concubine, actually, no matter what you look at it, we wish for our Ling'er to become the crown prince more than anyone else. Ming Chengjun said as he let out a small sigh.

"This concubine understands." The Noble Consort Su said gently, "Your majesty's care and love for Ling'er is already in your eyes, your subject understands that this subject doesn't seek for Ling'er's might to shake the world, but for him to be happy, this is enough for him to have the emperor's favor right now. Your subject is very satisfied."

Although Ming Chengjun was only a father, he was still a king. The more ambitious people he was, the more he feared, and what Noble Consort Su said was exactly what he wanted to say.

"My beloved concubine is indeed reasonable." Ming Chengjun laughed as he pulled her into his arms.

As if she thought of something, she softly spoke out. "Your majesty, if there comes a day when the crown prince harms our children and harms their limbs, what will you do?"
