Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 857 Li Zhong
He said solemnly: "I am the imperial concubine, do you dare to mess around with me?"

Then he turned around, his tone was not serious, on the contrary, there was a teasing smile on his lips.

"Of course I don't dare, but my dear, you..."

Zhu Xiuyuan stopped and stared at her charming scenery.

Concubine You straightened up and said with a blushing smile: "Ai Qing, you can look, but you can't do anything, let alone have any disrespectful thoughts. Do you understand?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was at a loss.

"My beloved, didn't I really want to see it that day in the main hall of Qin'an Palace? Now I'm satisfied with you. I love you, you can feel free to watch. I won't hold you accountable."

Concubine You leaned over again and ordered: "Keep rubbing your back."

"Have you seen enough, Aiqing?" Zhu Xiuyuan started to rub her back and she asked again.

"That's enough!" He felt strange in his heart.

"Then...Ai Qing, do you still want to watch it again?"

"...I think...no, I am a minister after all..."

"Pfft!" She trembled again, and the fragrant soup in the bathtub rippled. "If Aiqing wants to see it, I will show it to you... At this time tomorrow, we will still be here, and Aiqing will come too. .”

"minister……"

"Needless to say, if my beloved doesn't come tomorrow, I don't care so much and will definitely expose this matter..."

"Ma'am you?"

"So, for the sake of me and Aiqing, you should consider it yourself. Aiqing should come tomorrow and wait here for me... to deliver it to your door!"

"..."

"But we have agreed not to act carelessly or have any thoughts. After all, I am the imperial concubine, and my beloved is a minister after all, not the emperor!"

"For some things, I'm not worthy of my love! Remember, you can only watch from a distance and don't play with it!"

Concubine You turned back to look at him and spoke matter-of-factly.

Zhu Xiuyuan hid in the brocade tent again.

Concubine You was served by Xiao Cui and several palace maids. After changing her clothes, she left and the door was ajar.

After there was no one around, Zhu Xiuyuan walked out, opened the door and came outside. As soon as he walked out of the small courtyard, he bumped into Yan Dashan.

"My benefactor." Yan Dashan looked strange.

"Dashan, why are you here?"

"My benefactor, just now that Eunuch Jiawu, the inner treasure supervisor, came to see my subordinates..."

"I see..." Zhu Xiuyuan knew that Jiawu should have been subdued by Concubine You.

"My benefactor, it is not convenient to stay here for a long time. Please take my benefactor out."

"Ah."

……

His relationship with Concubine You had developed into such a deformed state, which was quite a headache for him.

But for him, the only thing that was difficult to accept in this abnormal relationship was not her status as a noble concubine. Zhu Xiuyuan didn't care about this at all.

But her identity, the crown prince and concubine...

After Zhu Xiuyuan returned home, he always felt that he wanted to catch Dong Shuyu... but Dong Shuyu became very alert and cleverly avoided it several times, unable to do anything.

Silent night.

When Zhu Xiuyuan was about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered what happened in the five southeastern states.

There is also the Prime Minister Li Zhong.

They don't know what they are doing.

Zhu Xiuyuan now wants them to rebel as soon as possible, and then he can lead his troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

It's so uncomfortable to hang like this now...

Coincidentally.

On the second day, Emperor Chen held a large court meeting in Fengtian Hall.

Since the last time the Yan army approached the capital, Emperor Chen began to personally handle the affairs of the court, so every once in a while, a court meeting would be held in the Fengtian Palace.

This time, Li Zhong finally took action.

Li Zhong personally went out to impeach Concubine You as suffering from uterine stenosis and unable to have children. This was deceiving the emperor.Then he adopted the heir of the late Tang Guifei, concealed the truth, and deceived Emperor Chen into making the son the crown prince. This move shook the foundation of the country...

Then there are some other crimes, no fewer than twenty or thirty in total.Then, Li Zhong directly presented the irrefutable evidence, with both personal and material evidence, which was beyond refutation.

The whole court was in a state of panic.

Chen Huang's expression kept changing.

Concubine You looked decadent.

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly woke up from his drowsiness.

He was first shocked by this shocking case, and then he keenly caught the news: the current prince is not the biological child of Concubine You...

The other civil and military ministers, after being stunned for a while, started to express their opinions one after another.

Most of the civil and military officials criticized Concubine You both verbally and in writing, because most of Concubine You's power was in the palace, and Li Zhong's influence was greater outside the palace.

This is also the reason why neither Guifei You nor Li Zhong can do anything to the other.

Of course, Concubine You is not without people in the outer court. For example, Zhu Xiuyuan is the most powerful force she has attracted. There are also some others, but their status is not high.

Zhu Xiuyuan was determined to defend Concubine You, but for a moment, he couldn't think of anything to say, because Li Zhong had been prepared for it, and the evidence was very sufficient. This was ironclad evidence!
How can you argue with this?

But soon, Zhu Xiuyuan discovered something strange.

After Prime Minister Li Zhong finished speaking and presented all the evidence, he returned to his original position and stopped talking.

The old god is here.

An attitude that has nothing to do with oneself.

On the contrary, it was Li Zhong's six ministries who caused the most ferocity.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Chen Huang's face again... Chen Huang dotes on Concubine You very much, so he shouldn't be able to punish her!
As Zhu Xiuyuan expected, Chen Huang insisted that Li Zhong's evidence was all fabricated, and killed several inconspicuous but most aggressive officials with a cane in front of the court, forcibly putting the matter to rest.

This incident caused a sensation in the government and the public, and spread throughout the city.

On the way back from the court, the ministers talked a lot.

Zhu Xiuyuan's heart moved and he connected this matter with the affairs of the five southeastern states...

Not to mention how the whole government and the whole city were discussing this matter, in the harem, no one dared to say a word. It took Huang Chen a long time to coax the beloved concubine who was crying like peach.

Chen Huang didn't care about this matter at all.

Instead, he comforted her and told her not to be sad or anxious, as her status would not change.

Liu Shen, the current prince, will continue to be the prince in the future, and will be officially adopted by Concubine You...

……

East Palace.

When the prince heard the news, he collapsed on the spot.

His mother-in-law is his support.

However, the situation has suddenly changed. It turns out that the mother-in-law is not his mother-in-law, but he is actually an adopted child...

……

Prime Minister's Office.

Li Zhong was drinking tea calmly and flipping through the documents, seemingly not worried at all about Huang Chen's forcible suppression of the matter.

On the other hand, the people around him were anxious.

"What's the hurry!" Li Zhong scolded, "I predict that Your Majesty will do whatever it takes to protect the demon concubine. This is all expected."

"But isn't your move in vain?"

"It won't be in vain, this is just the beginning. The fun is yet to come!" Li Zhong smiled meaningfully.

……

Jinling Palace.

King Jinling was overjoyed at first, and then confused.

He was overjoyed because his grandfather finally took action and presented irrefutable evidence that was enough to kill the demon concubine. Naturally, he was very happy in his heart.

But... not long after, news came that His Majesty tried to protect the demon concubine, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to kill several petty officials with a stick.

"Father...Father!"

King Jinling shouted and smashed all the furniture in the room.
