Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 194 News
If she had no other choice, Concubine Chu would not want to play tricks with the Queen Mother, but she had no choice, the child in her womb was doomed to fail, if she did not conceive, it would be herself who would suffer in the end.

But, the Queen Mother didn't care about these things, she only cared about the child in her womb, she even asked Mother Qin to tell her that if the child couldn't be kept, someone else would take the back seat.

She has paid so much to turn herself into what she is now, and let her give up the position that she might have, how can she be willing?

There was no other way, she could only arrange her own people in when the Shoukang Palace was at its most chaotic, and she had to act in front of the Queen Mother.

…………

After returning to Yongchun Palace, Lu Zhaoyi opened the brocade box, and there were several medicine bottles in the brocade box.

"Master, this is for you to make a decision!" Seeing the things in the brocade box, Aunt Wang frowned, thinking that the things inside would not be good.

"I've been there a few times, so it should be." Reaching out to pick up one of the medicine bottles, Lu Zhaoyi smiled and said, the contents of the brocade box were within her expectations.

"Then what are you going to do?" Seeing the smile on Lu Zhaoyi's face, Aunt Wang was very worried. She suddenly understood why the Queen Mother didn't let her open this brocade box in Shoukang Palace.

If the things inside the brocade box were opened in the Shoukang Palace, it would be clear that the queen mother wanted to harm people. She is the queen mother, so naturally she would not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, no matter what, the brocade box will not be opened in the Shoukang Palace. Since it was rewarded to its master, it will follow the master and leave the Shoukang Palace.

After that, no matter where the brocade box is opened, it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, even if it contains harmful poison.

The queen mother can completely say that what she puts in the brocade box is only a reward from her, and she doesn't know anything about poison.

She is the empress dowager, so she is naturally better than a third-rank Zhaoyi, and her words are useful.

It has to be said that ginger is old and spicy. As long as these poisons are discovered in Yongchun Palace, the master will be speechless.

"Since the Empress Dowager rewarded me with this thing, it is natural to make the best use of it." Looking at the medicine bottles in the brocade box, Lu Zhaoyi said with a smile. She said this, which made Aunt Wang a little startled.

"The meaning of the master..."

"Obviously, the Empress Dowager gave these things to me to use them in Yuxiu Palace, so naturally I will not let her down."

Looking at Aunt Wang, the smile on Lu Zhaoyi's face deepened. Aunt Wang carefully identified her expression and was sure that she was not joking, but that she really planned to use the things in the brocade box.

At this moment, Aunt Wang suddenly felt that she couldn't see through her master. She didn't believe that she would attack Yuxiu Palace, but she was not sure what her master meant.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure." As if seeing Aunt Wang's worry, Lu Zhaoyi smiled and comforted her.

Su Qingning soon found out that Lu Zhaoyi had taken a brocade box from the Queen Mother, and she could guess that there was nothing good in it.

Earlier, she had discussed with Nanny Chen to use other methods to make the queen mother calm down. After a few days of thinking, Nanny Chen finally came up with a solution.

After learning about Lu Zhaoyi, Su Qingning immediately asked Nanny Chen to arrange according to her method, and she became more and more impatient with the Queen Mother.

Emperor Chen had no time to take care of the affairs in the harem. After a long wait, the news from the northwest border finally came back.

It was a letter written by the Chu family, and the content of the letter was the same as the secret message that the emperor had received before.

After reading the letter, Emperor Chen unfolded another letter, which was a secret report sent back by the person he sent out.

The content of the letter was completely different from the one sent back by the Chu family. After reading it, the emperor destroyed the other one.

Everything was proceeding according to the plan. Thinking of the possible consequences after the contents of the letter were announced, Emperor Chen couldn't help frowning, but no matter what, the contents of the letter must be announced.

Because only in this way can the Chu family and Xuanyuanqi relax their vigilance, which is good for him, because he has cards in his hand that the Chu family and Xuanyuanqi can't think of.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Chen announced the contents of the letter, and immediately, the court became lively.

In the court, many people listened to the Chu family, and most people were dissatisfied with the rise of the Shen family.

Now that I heard that the second child of the Shen family colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, those who were dissatisfied in the first place immediately cheered up and took things like adding insult to injury to the extreme.

Emperor Chen kept all these people's words in his heart, although he didn't know when Xuanyuanqi planned to rebel, but before that, he could still deal with some people.

The ministers in the court were not all those who obeyed the orders of the Chu family. After those people stopped making troubles, several ministers expressed doubts.

Everyone knows that Concubine Su in the palace came from the Shen family. The Shen family is her uncle's family. Her two cousins, one is not low in the court, and the other has been on the battlefield many times. meritorious service.

If you really want to collude with the enemy and treason the country, you don't need to wait until you have made several military exploits before doing it.

Besides, his cousin gave birth to the prince and twins, so his position was extremely stable. He didn't need to collude with the enemy and treason at all to get the status he deserved.

This collusion with the enemy and treason is not a small crime, it will implicate the nine clans, but anyone with a bit of brain is unlikely to make such a mistake.

Some wanted to put the Shen family to death, and some wanted to excuse Shen Xiao. There was a mess in the hall, and the emperor sat in the first place, listening to the quarrels of the officials.

"Don't quarrel, gentlemen. This letter has already stated that General Chu sent someone to deal with Shen Xiao because of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Now it is useless to argue whether he is really treason and treason."

After a long time, Emperor Chen opened his mouth, and with one sentence, the hall was restored to tranquility. The ministers who followed the Chu family were naturally very proud, and those who spoke for Shen Xiao felt very sorry.

"Your Majesty, since Shen Xiao's crime has been convicted, should we arrest the Shen family and follow our court's laws? I heard that Concubine Su gave birth to two princes for the Emperor, although she is inseparable from the Shen family. In the end, it is due to Daxing, but he can be exempted from the death penalty, so it is better to be sent to the cold palace to show the emperor's kindness."

A courtier stood up and saluted the emperor. After he finished speaking, Zhou Chengren who was at the side wanted to go up and give him two slaps.

The Emperor Chen didn't speak, he looked at the courtier who spoke, his face was expressionless, the courtier finished speaking, and didn't get a reply for a long time, he couldn't help but raise his eyes, peeking at the emperor above him.

This glance made his legs weak in fright, and he sat on the ground directly. On the expressionless face of Emperor Chen, he felt a strong killing intent...
