The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 25 The Art of the Emperor 6
There was a strong wind in the middle of the night, the night was howling, and the leaves were falling to the ground.

"Why is the Prime Minister back?" Su Zhesang's eyes were still red.

"On your orders," Gu Heng hummed.

"When did I say that?"

Gu Heng didn't answer, just looked at her.

Zhe Sang thought of the letter she asked Xiao Xuzi to send. At that time, the emperor was annoying people to death, and she was afraid that one day the emperor would fake it and forcefully consummate the marriage.As the queen, she had no reason to refuse. She couldn't think of any better solution, so she turned to Gu Heng.

She meant to ask Gu Heng to cause some trouble for the emperor in the court, so that the emperor would really get busy instead of running to Yong'an Palace for nothing.

But unexpectedly, Gu Heng ran back directly.

"Why did you get back so quickly? I didn't hear any news at all."

"I came back privately, and the memorial is still on the way." Gu Heng explained.

It is not a trivial matter for a minister to return to Kyoto privately without reporting it in advance and without the emperor's order.

"Will that delay Huai'an?"

Gu Heng really didn't like the Queen's rambling foreshadowing.

"Your Majesty, you should pay attention to your current situation first."

Seeing him like this, Zhe Sang felt much more relaxed and summarized the emperor's recent behavior. When the emperor stayed overnight, he was afraid that Gu Heng would want to delay things, so he explained it emphatically.

"That night happened to be a small day. Although the Lord stayed the night, we did nothing."

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty are husband and wife, no matter what you do, it's the right thing to do." Gu Heng said coldly.

After all, she was his wife, so what happened was normal.This is the breath that Gu Heng has been unable to breathe. In the past, he used these words to cut off all his inappropriate thoughts and secret emotions.

Su Zhesang didn't expect him to say that.

"Prime Minister, if you really think you should, then why are you rushing back in such a hurry?"

Gu Heng looked away slightly, "Of course there is something important."

"You just said you were following my orders."

Gu Heng didn't speak.

At that time, Su Zhesang did not realize that there were loopholes in everyone from the official to the prime minister, and what kind of panic this meant.

She accepted it as soon as she could, and talked about the emperor's movements in recent days.

"He probably thinks I'm trying too hard or is boring, so he wants to use Concubine Shu as bait?"

The more Zhe Sang analyzed it, the more his heart grew colder.

If Concubine Shu was also a target and a bait, then was Fu Rong's kindness to Concubine Shu all pretense before Su Qiong'an showed up?

"He is really interested in Su Qiong'an. I'm afraid the entire harem will be able to stop him." She said with emotion.

"Is your Majesty satisfied?"

"No. It's just that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold." Su Zhesang denied decisively.

How can I be worthy of such a heartless man?The more clearly she saw Fu Rong's face, the more disgusted she felt.

"Your Majesty, I do know a little secret about Concubine Shu." Gu Heng said with a smile, returning to his usual tone.

"Hidden secret?" Zhe Sang was surprised?How come she has never heard of it, "Is it Hou Xibo?" "Does the empress know?" Gu Heng was a little surprised. Very few people knew about this matter. Even she learned about it by chance a few months ago. If she knew, how could she? Will he still delegate power and let Fu Rong ascend the throne?Why would you choose to be a decent queen?

"I don't know, I guess."

"I have always had a doubt. On the way to the Northern Wilderness, the first person we contacted was Xibohou, but we didn't get a reply for a long time. Obviously Xibohou was unwilling to help us. Later, we persuaded the Ning Family Army in Enan to leave the Holy Spirit alone Enter the capital, take in Concubine Shu, and Xibohou will help."

"When you employ people, you must first promise fame and fortune. After ascending the throne, the Holy One has never been stingy about rewarding meritorious officials, but the reward given to Xibohou is a little shallow. At first, I thought that the Holy One was still thinking about Xibohou's death and refused to save him, and he was not happy."

"If you think about it carefully, there are too many things that don't make sense here."

For example, many of the courtiers were insulted when Fu Rong was exiled. Why did Fu Rong only hate Xibohou?Besides, Xibohou must have thought about whether the emperor would hold a grudge, so why did he still want to help him?
Gu Heng still marveled at her keenness and intelligence, and it was precisely because of this that he was attracted. When he came back to his senses and realized his emotions, he had already stepped into the swamp, and the more he struggled, the deeper he fell.

"Yes. Although all this is inconspicuous, it cannot withstand careful scrutiny. That is why I went to investigate and it took a long time to solve the mystery." Gu Heng said.

"The Holy Lord and Xibohou have made a secret agreement long ago - after the event is completed, he will support Concubine Shu as his queen."

Therefore, Xibohou did not react at all to Fu Rong's differential treatment.

Su Zhesang sneered, "The queen is really a good position. She has been promised one after another. Today I will be her tomorrow, who will she be tomorrow?"

Before ascending the throne, Fu Rong first promised her, then promised Xi Bohou, and now he wants to support Su Qiong'an.

Su Zhesang's sad consciousness said: Even without Su Qiong'an, one day he will still be abandoned by Fu Rong, and he will abandon himself for power without hesitation, again and again.

"No, if there is such a secret agreement, he should keep a cold shoulder on Concubine Shu. If he wants to help Su Qiong'an rise to power, he should suppress Concubine Shu's edge. I don't have a backer behind me, but Concubine Shu does. I can't allow him to tease me at will."

Now that he is holding Concubine Shu up, isn't he afraid that it won't end in the end?

"If the empress abdicates, according to the agreement, it will be Concubine Shu, and it will not be Mrs. An's turn. The situation has been set, why not kill two birds with one stone?" Gu Heng said.

"Let me quarrel with Concubine Shu? Concubine Shu doesn't seem to look down on me. Besides, she is just a concubine after all. I, the queen, shouldn't be so intolerant, right?" Su Zhesang murmured, suddenly remembering the emperor's stay. A thought drifted through the intimate act that night.

"What if the empress is pregnant?" Gu Heng asked quietly.

Concubine Shu looked down upon Su Zhesang and underestimated her enemy, because the queen had no power to rely on and no prince.If the queen had a child, everything would be different.

The queen's child is likely to become a prince, that is, the next generation of kings. Courtiers can ignore a vague queen, but they cannot ignore the queen's son.Even Su Qiong'an's pregnancy, which attracted much attention, can be made invisible.

"As expected of the king of a country, he is so meticulous. He favored Concubine Shu and let Concubine Shu fight for her. Concubine Shu and I had a lively fight, but Su Qiong'an reaped the benefits." Su Zhesang sneered.

Thinking of the way the emperor cared and doted on Concubine Shu in the morning, he felt more and more chilled in his heart. He smiled on his face and calculated in his mind.This is true for Concubine Shu, and even more so for myself.

Gu Heng silently held her in his arms, wrapping Su Zhisang in his warmth, and she gradually came back to her senses.

"Men are so ruthless, is the Prime Minister the same?" she asked casually.

"I will always be loyal to my queen," he said.

Su Zhesang smiled and didn't take it to heart. Men always speak better than they sing.

Fu Rong is like this, but what about Gu Heng?When Gu Heng said these words gently, what was he calculating in his heart?
　Gu Heng: Scheme against the empress~
　　After all, I have been coveting it for a long time.
