"what sound?"

"Who is speaking?"

Although he was still in shock, as an emperor who had successfully emerged from the bloody and cruel battle to seize the throne, Min Huang instinctively controlled his emotions.

He didn't blurt out these words, but he was confused in his heart.

Even the panic and confusion that he had woken up from a nightmare disappeared from his face.

Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his appearance. This is an essential skill for a prince who grew up in the palace.

It is also the most basic and best skill for a new king.

He remained calm and began to look around.

"His Majesty?"

The middle-aged eunuch was lying on the ground, not daring to raise his head to look directly at the holy face, so he could only ask cautiously.

[The Emperor hasn’t come out of his dream yet?Gee, what on earth did he dream about?How could an emperor be so rude? 】

I heard it again!

Still that voice!

Min Huang continued to look around, but could not find the source of the sound.

However, as sharp and vigilant as Min Huang was, he still found clues——

This voice sounds a bit familiar!
seem?

There was a vague guess in his mind, but Min Huang still didn't show his face and asked in a hoarse voice: "Zhou Shouyuan?"

This is the name of the middle-aged eunuch in front of him, and he is also Min Huang's most trusted and relied-upon confidant.

When Min Huang was still an unpopular prince, Zhou Shouyuan served him by his side.

He is ten years older than Min Huang and is only 30 years old this year.

But I don't know if it's because of his physical disability or because he suffered too much in his early years. Zhou Shouyuan looks nearly 20 years older than Min Huang.

However, the advantage is that Zhou Shouyuan is slightly fatter, his skin and flesh are still firm, and he looks more mature, not "old".

"It's a slave!"

Zhou Shouyuan responded respectfully.

Almost at the same time as the answer on his lips, there was another voice——

[Your Majesty really had a nightmare. When he looked at me just now, something was wrong in his eyes. 】

[Oh, Your Majesty is also pitiful. In the early years, because of the low status of his birth mother, he was not favored by the late emperor. He was like a transparent person who could be bullied by anyone. 】

[I finally climbed to the throne after overcoming obstacles all the way, and the harem was full of flowers on the outside, but a mess on the inside...]

Min Huang tried his best to control his emotions, but he was still shocked.

First, he did hear a familiar voice.

And that sound seemed to come from Zhou Shouyuan's body.

D?

Or is it simply Zhou Shouyuan's "voice"?
Can he hear what Zhou Shouyuan is thinking?
Realizing this, Min Huang was shocked and confused.

Yes, he was shocked and doubtful, but there was no "joy".

As a prince who grew up in a harem, an emperor who ascended the throne through the flesh and blood of his brothers, he was no longer naive.

Suspicion is his nature.

There seemed to be something strange about him, and Min Huang immediately suspected——

Is this a conspiracy?

Could it be that someone is using witchcraft to suppress me?

Or am I sick or poisoned?
Hallucinations due to illness or poison?
Min Huang's heart was filled with turmoil, and he clenched his hands tightly under the quilt.

In addition to being surprised, Min Huang also captured the key points in Zhou Shouyuan's "voice" -

"The harem is full of flowers on the outside, but it's filthy behind the scenes!"

how come?
Although Min Huang would not be so foolish as to think that his harem was really happy and harmonious, it was not "a mess" either.

The Queen Mother is the late emperor's empress and his aunt.

He was also the benefactor who helped him sit on the dragon throne.Of course, this does not mean that the Queen Mother is really kind. There is no so-called "mother's kindness and son's filial piety" or "deep kindness and kindness" between him and the Wang family, but only an exchange of interests.

The Wang family supported him, an unpopular prince, in seizing the throne, while Min Huang would honor Queen Wang as the Queen Mother and grant the Wang family the hereditary and irreplaceable title of duke.

Make use of each other and trade fairly.

The Queen Mother is sensible and sober, and does not regard herself as "Queen Mother".

As long as Min Huang gives her the honor of the Queen Mother and the wealth that the Wang family deserves, she will not point fingers at Min Huang.

...Uh, okay, after a fierce battle, the Queen Mother had to retreat to the harem to "take care of herself".

Three years ago, when Min Huang had just ascended the throne, the Queen Mother used the excuse that "the emperor was young" to listen to politics behind the curtain.

Min Huang only had the title of emperor, but he could not even touch the side of the government.

In order to stay in power and break the situation, Min Huang had to "drive away the wolves and the tigers".

He asked to marry the eldest daughter of the famous Gu family as his queen.

After marrying the queen, Min Huang was no longer a child.

And since ancient times, the marriage of a young emperor has been the prelude to "pro-government".

Furthermore, if he marries a daughter of the Gu family, the entire Gu family will help him fight against the Wang family.

Three years, a full three years, Min Huang and Empress Gu fought side by side, one in the front court and the other in the harem, and finally regained the rights that the emperor and empress should have.

The Queen Mother lost in this round of competition, and then reluctantly withdrew from the previous dynasty.

In the harem, the palace affairs were also handed over to Gu.

On the surface, the harem mother is kind and her son is filial, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious.

But secretly, the waves are still turbulent and a new storm is brewing.

Apart from the Queen Mother, Min Huang's biological mother, Dowager Xie, seemed to be much softer.

But, it's still "bad".

Xie was just an ordinary commoner's daughter. She was selected from the palace and became a palace maid.

Her appearance is quite good, but in a harem full of beauties, she doesn't stand out much.

In the three years since he entered the palace, he has not even seen the emperor's face.

It was once that the emperor was drunk and took the wrong path. Unexpectedly, he favored Mr. Xie.

Only this time, Xie became pregnant and was granted a treasure forest by the late emperor.

A year later, Xie gave birth to a prince.

Unfortunately, the late emperor had no shortage of sons, and the prince born to the Xie family ranked ninth among the princes.

However, the late emperor still promoted Xie to the rank of beauty because of her merit in giving birth.

Xie had been a beauty for more than ten years. It wasn't until her ninth prince got in touch with Empress Wang that she was promoted to Zhaoyi by Empress Wang.

Xie Zhaoyi was definitely the one with the lowest status among all the women who gave birth to children of the late emperor.

From this we can see how unpopular Xie is.

Xie Zhaoyi and the Ninth Prince were also transparent existences in the harem.

Not to mention the favored princes and princesses, even the slightly respectable eunuchs and palace maids dared to embarrass their mother and son.

The Ninth Prince is very much like the male protagonist of Gong Douwen. His biological mother is humble and he is bullied.

The difficult living environment did not wear away his edges and corners, but made him like a piece of calcined fine steel or a carved jade.

When the Ninth Prince was 12 years old, Queen Wang's legitimate son died in infancy and lost her fertility.

Queen Wang can only choose one adopted son among the princes.

The Ninth Prince was chosen by Queen Wang.

In addition to his own excellence, it is also because Xie Zhaoyi came from a humble background and is also weak and confused.

Yes, confused!
Min Huang didn't want to judge his biological mother like this, it was too unfilial.

But the fact is that even after Xie Zhaoyi gave birth to a son, she was not favored. She definitely had some character flaws——

Stupid, you always like to be smart!
