Zhe Furong: After widowhood and rebirth, she was pampered by treacherous ministers

Chapter 231
"A good thing?" The fifth prince kept searching for the good things that might happen today in his mind, and he almost broke his head, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

"What is it, tell me quickly." The fifth prince was very curious.

"My confidant who was placed in Ningkun Palace, I heard in the palace today the plan discussed by that person from Ningkun Palace and that from East Palace." Gu Mo stopped after speaking.

He stopped at the most exciting place, the fifth prince was of course impatient, turned his head to look at Gu Mo, frowned, and signaled Gu Mo to speak quickly.

"And then? What plan?"

Gu Mo stretched out his hand, motioning for the Fifth Prince to get closer to him.When the fifth prince saw it, he immediately followed suit, like a very obedient child.

Gu Mo, who found it interesting, smiled.But I don't dare to tease the fifth prince anymore, it's not good to make people anxious.

He straightened his voice and said, "Their mother and son intend to directly usurp the throne and replace the emperor." Gu Mo spoke slowly, uttering each word, every word shocked the fifth prince.

He widened his eyes and looked at Gu Mo in disbelief, unable to believe it was true.

"Is this really what your confidant heard? Are you sure you heard it right?" the Fifth Prince confirmed.

"No." Gu Mo replied, and there was certainty in his eyes, which made the fifth prince more afraid after thinking about it.

"It's simply," the fifth prince shook his head, still feeling unbelievable, "It's simply crazy. The prince and the queen must be crazy... My father usually indulges the prince a lot, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that. I am partial to him the most. And the Empress, for so many years, my father has not done anything bad to her, let alone made her lose trust in the harem." The fifth prince kept murmuring.

Gu Mo knew what the fifth prince meant, that concubine Li and the empress were treated much worse in front of the emperor.Compared with the fifth prince and the prince, the emperor's preference for the prince is much more than that of the fifth prince.

But at least they have never had such thoughts. Although they want to sit on the throne, they also want to do it in an honest way, instead of always playing secret tricks in the gutter like the prince and queen.

Knowing how shocked the fifth prince was when he heard the news, Gu Mo stepped forward and reached out to pat the fifth prince's shoulder.

"That's why we need to defeat the prince as soon as possible and take away the prince's East Palace reserve. The family and the country cannot be handed over to such a person at all, otherwise it will be destroyed sooner or later." Gu Mo said lightly.

This made the fifth prince more determined in his belief that he wanted to compete with the prince.

"How do they plan to do it? When do they do it? Have your confidantes heard?"

"I plan to use poison, but it is too obvious that one blow is fatal. They should adopt a gradual approach. The prince is impatient, and wants to let the queen start today." Gu Mo said lightly.

"What?! Today?!" The fifth prince was startled, "Then we have to quickly enter the palace to stop him!"

The fifth prince who turned around and wanted to leave was stopped by Gu Mo in time.

"Don't worry, don't do it yet."

The fifth prince suddenly looked at Gu Mo with a confused look on his face. He was a little confused about what Gu Mo said.

"What's the meaning of this? You don't plan to do anything? Do you want to watch the emperor be poisoned to death by them?"

"Don't worry, I don't intend to let them go. But, I also want to take this opportunity to teach the emperor a lesson. They use the medicine step by step, and it takes time to accumulate a certain dose in the emperor's body before they will attack. Even the emperor himself should not be able to see or feel anything wrong. Only in the next few days, when more and more accumulated, will people start to feel uncomfortable. At that time, it will not be too late to expose the prince and queen. "Listening to Gu Mo's plan, although the fifth prince felt that it was a bit risky and inappropriate, he felt that Gu Mo had thought it through, so he was willing to trust Gu Mo.

He nodded and looked at Gu Mo.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll do whatever you want."

"In the past few days, you can also go to the palace more often to watch good shows. If you can, you can also collect some evidence for emergencies." As he spoke, Gu Mo picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, with a relaxed expression appearance.

"Okay, let me go and see for myself. Maybe the Queen and the Crown Prince will feel guilty when they see me." When the fifth prince thought of this scene, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

-

The Empress got up early today, and Qin'er, the personal maid, hadn't seen the Empress get up so early in a long time.Even if he was waiting for the concubines in the harem to greet him on weekdays, he wouldn't get up so early.

Quickly prepare hot water for the queen to wash, and then breakfast.When the queen was eating, she looked a little absent-minded.

After the meal, the queen asked Qin'er, the personal maid, to start dressing herself after the attendants removed the things on the table.

She kept telling Qin'er to paint her more beautifully, and Qin'er, who didn't know exactly what the queen was going to do today, suddenly became a little curious.

"Your Majesty hasn't been like this for a long time, and I haven't asked Qin'er to make up your empress carefully. What is your empress going to do today?"

Qin'er carefully took all kinds of rouge and dabbled on the queen's face. She thought that the queen's mother was in a good mood today, but found that the queen's face was a little haggard. It looked like she hadn't slept well.

Last night, the queen tossed and turned, thinking about the prince's strategy in her heart, and rehearsing in her heart, how to start today is the most natural.This torment made her feel a little anxious, and she couldn't sleep at all.

"Your Majesty, didn't you rest last night?" As a personal maid, she deserved to die for not noticing that her master was not sleeping well.

"My lady, Qin'er didn't serve her well, so please punish her." Qin'er immediately knelt down and accepted the crime.

Qin'er has been by her side for many years, and the empress still has some affection for her.Besides, I couldn't blame Qin'er for not sleeping last night.It was she herself who was troubled by things, unable to sleep because of anxiety, and did not dare to make too much noise to make people suspicious, including Qin'er, so it sounded quiet at night, and it was normal for Qin'er not to know.

"It's okay, get up, let's dress up for Bengong quickly."

"Yes." Qin'er glanced at the queen resentfully, to make sure that the queen's expression was fine, then stood up, and immediately began to dress up for the queen.

"Why didn't your majesty rest well last night? Did you feel unwell, do you want your servant to go to the imperial doctor to show your empress?" Qin'er asked with concern.

The queen, who was about to prescribe medicine to the emperor, felt a little flustered when she heard the word imperial doctor, and she stuttered a little.

"No, no, I'm getting older, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's normal to have these problems, and occasionally there will be times when I can't sleep well."
