Yu Guiren flipped through the book in his hand page by page, his eyes getting darker and darker.

The night before Concubine Zhe's accident, the emperor came to her to ask for a hallucinogenic drug. She knew who the emperor was going to use it on without even thinking about it. Sure enough, news came the next day that Concubine Zhe had fallen into the water - Yibin said it was indeed true, but so what?She was the one who took the blame for the emperor, so even if she died unjustly, she would have no choice but to admit it.

Everyone thought that the emperor doted on Concubine Zhe because she had a similar fate to that of his biological mother, and the emperor also smoothly contributed to this understanding, established an image of himself that valued love and filial piety, and even pushed Concubine Zhe's death to a long life. On the Queen Mother——

It's disgusting!

Yuguiren tightened his chin and threw the booklet in his hand into the fire basin at his feet. He felt a little better after watching the tongues of flames devour the dense writing on it.

After Concubine Zhe's death, the emperor searched through Biyuxuan but could not find this booklet. He had no idea that this booklet had been taken away by Mr. Yu. After reading what was written on it, Mr. Yu finally understood. Why is the emperor so tolerant of Concubine Zhe?

No emperor would reject the evaluation of "creating a peaceful and prosperous age" and "one emperor through the ages", and so does the emperor.

But Yu Guiren did not believe that what Concubine Zhe said was true. At least in her opinion, what was written in this booklet was very different from reality. Just talking about the emperor's heirs, the booklet said When the emperor ascended the throne, he had three sons and one daughter, and two daughters died in infancy. However, the emperor now only has one son, Yonghuang. This shows that the history books of later generations are not full of details.

The booklet was burned to ashes, not a trace of writing or ink remained.

Concubine Zhe probably would never have thought that she had taken the advantage and died in a muddle in the end, but she had accidentally led Emperor Qianlong, who was supposed to be working diligently to create a peaceful and prosperous age, astray. , running all the way towards the road of seeking death in a hurry for success.

After the beginning of the first month of the dynasty, the emperor officially changed the reign title to Qianlong and granted amnesty to the world. And his eldest son Yonglian was born on this day of joy for the whole country.

"Second brother is so beautiful, so polished."

"Yes, look at these features, how much he looks like the emperor!"

"..."

"The Empress Dowager has arrived - the Empress Dowager has arrived -"

All the concubines stood up to greet her, and An Lingrong and Zhen Huan walked in one after another: "Everyone, get up." Seeing that the queen was about to get up, An Lingrong stretched out his hand to hold her down, "Good child, just lie down. Do you feel better?"

"Thank you very much for your concern, Queen Mother. The imperial doctor has taken good care of me. Everything is fine." The queen smiled softly, showing a bit of motherly glory. It seemed that she had been well cared for in the month, her face was rosy, and her complexion was excellent.

"That's good." An Lingrong smiled and patted her hand and said, "The Ai family has been discussing with the Queen Mother these days about what to give. After thinking about it, there is nothing new. I can only think of something new. What are you giving?" She asked Dill to bring up the prepared gift box, "Your mother-in-law has many treasures in her private treasury, and the rich and beautiful Ai family will not snatch them away from her. This is a velvet flower made by the Ai family some time ago. , meaning glory, you can keep it for others to enjoy or bring it with you."

The queen followed Dill's movements and looked into the gift box, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "The Queen's craftsmanship is really good. This velvet flower is luxurious and grand, and I like it very much." She hurriedly asked Sui Lan to take it, and said to An Lingrong thanked her again and again, "The emperor's mother is as considerate as her hair. She knew that my son did not like pearls and jade, so she gave it to him. Moreover, it was made by her own hands. I am very grateful."

"As long as you like her." An Lingrong still really loved this queen.Zhen Huan hugged Jin Sun at the side and sighed deliberately after hearing this: "Okay, okay, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law love each other, so the Ai family can only give some mundane things to support the scene. The queen doesn't like pearls and jade, so it just so happens that they are all given to the Ai family's little girl. For the emperor and his grandson."

"The Queen Mother loves the younger generation the most. When the second elder brother is one month old, you will wear the small gold bracelets, gold necklaces, and gold rings given by the Queen Mother, and then wear a red and festive dress. That will look good!" Jiabao joked! He smiled and said, "When the time comes, the Queen will attend with velvet flowers, so she won't be able to steal the second elder brother's limelight, right?"

Everyone laughed, but Concubine Xian sat in the corner and felt unhappy.

"The Emperor is here—"

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe."

The emperor walked in slowly: "Everyone, please get up." He looked at An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, half-kneeling and saluted, "My son, please give your regards to the emperor's mother-in-law. Please give my regards to your mother-in-law."

"Get up quickly." An Lingrong smiled and excused herself. "Come here at this time. The emperor must have rushed here right after leaving court. He really puts the queen on his heart." She joked with a smile, but There is something in his words, "Just because of your affection for the queen, it's not in vain that your mother-in-law asked for this marriage for you over and over again in front of the late emperor."

The emperor's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he was emotionally ups and downs, but he soon returned to calm. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I will always keep your mother's kindness in my heart." He raised his eyes and looked at Zhen Huan, "My son is thinking about the future. I went to Shoukang Palace to pay my respects to E Niang, but I never thought that E Niang would come to the Queen's Palace."

"The emperor always goes to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. He is coming to see the Ai family today, but do you have anything to say?" Zhen Huan looked cold.

The scene suddenly cooled down.

"Since Your Majesty has important matters to discuss with the Queen Mother, I, my concubines, will retire first." Concubine Xian was the first to notice the abnormality in the atmosphere, and stood up and bowed and knelt down.

Only then did all the concubines come to their senses and all left. The queen also had her second elder brother be carried down. After a while, only the emperor, An Lingrong, Zhen Huan and the queen were left in the bedroom.

"Today Prince Shen has written a letter saying that he has only one daughter and that the king has no heir. He hopes to choose a son from the clan to adopt him." The emperor said loudly.

Zhen Yurao had been in Prince Shen's palace for many years, but she only had one daughter, and because of the misfortune she suffered during childbirth, she would never be able to have children again. However, Prince Shen had a deep affection for her, and he didn't even have any concubines in the palace. Seeing that there was no heir, this situation Then he begged the emperor.

"My son is thinking that Prince Fujin of Shen County is E Niang's biological sister. It is better to adopt a son of the clan than to adopt a child from E Niang's knees, such as Hongzhao..."

"Yu Rao came to the palace before and was very fond of Yang'er. It would be better to inherit him to Prince Shenjun's palace to comfort the couple's childlessness." Zhen Huan's eyes narrowed and she interrupted the emperor's words in a deep voice. "What does the emperor want?"

The emperor smiled faintly: "The arrangements made by E Niang are naturally good." The topic changed and he said again, "Prince Guo's lineage is now very thin, and there has been no good news. If this continues, will this lineage be extinct? ? My son is really worried and has tried to persuade the emperor’s uncle many times. The emperor’s uncle only said that it is destiny and cannot be forced. There is nothing the son can do." He sighed softly and continued, "My son has been reading Zheng Burke's paragraphs in the past few days. Yan, I see that all the disasters in the Zheng Kingdom were caused by Jiang's pampering of his younger son and harsh treatment of his eldest son. The son is confused. If a parent and son are like this, what should he do if he is an adopted son? I hope E Niang can answer the question for his son."

An Lingrong's eyebrows twitched, and she subconsciously looked at Zhen Huan, only to see sadness suddenly appear in her eyes, which suddenly turned into a cold light.
