Need for Highness, Enchanting Concubine

Chapter 444 The Doubt About the Zen Position (2)
In Prince Chen's mansion, Shen Tianhao, who heard the news, immediately dropped the crystal teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Is the father so impatient to make Shen Tianche the emperor?" When Shen Tianhao heard the news, his mood changed from the past and he was a little out of control. Why is it that the place he has always dreamed of is now? Was it so easy to be taken over by Shen Tianche just because he was the son of the empress who had been dead for many years?

Not reconciled, really not reconciled!
In the empty study room, apart from Shen Tianhao, who had a ferocious face and distorted facial features, there was another figure standing quietly in front of Shen Tianhao.

That person was slender, but very thin, as if there was only a skeleton left. Those who didn't know it thought he had been starved for several months, and there were only a few black tufts of white hair on his head. Hair, old face, wrinkles around the eyes, dry and sallow skin, a look of malnutrition, only the eyes are glowing and look a little radiant.

On the surface, he looks like an old man in his sixties.

"My lord, it seems that the rumors outside are not groundless!" Mo Ren leaned over to Shen Tianhao and said with some embarrassment, an elusive cold and gloomy expression flashed in his eyes.

This old man named Moren seems impermanent, but he is Shen Tianhao's most trusted confidant now.

His identity is just an ordinary boss of Gu Wenzhai in the imperial capital, but he is actually the right-hand man for Shen Tianhao to inquire about news and recruit talents.

Gu Wenzhai is just an inconspicuous small antique shop, it looks like it’s not a big deal, but in private, many people, whether they are wealthy businessmen, high-ranking officials, or ordinary literati, really like to shop there. Especially "little gadgets" such as calligraphy, painting and antiques of the predecessors, so there are more news about this little Gu Wenzhai than ordinary places.

"What's going on outside now?" Shen Tianhao asked Mo Ren with stern eyes.

Mo Ren replied respectfully: "They are all saying... April 27th, the day of the emperor's birthday, he will announce to the world that he will hand over the throne to His Royal Highness in a few days, and then abdicate himself as the Supreme Emperor!"

With the degree of Shen Jingyi's love for Shen Tianche, this is not completely impossible. He didn't do that before because the prince's power was too weak, but now the situation is completely different. Among the princes, Shen Tianche is undoubtedly the most powerful party, but Prince Chen, who was supposed to be the most powerful contender for the throne, is now the weakest one. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is very possible for Shen Jingyi to abdicate to let the virtuous.

Upon hearing these words, Shen Tianhao's already gloomy face became even more ugly, and the coldness made people tremble deeply.

"Who said that?" Shen Tianhao asked coldly.

"It was the little eunuch who was with Eunuch Xia who accidentally let it go. As for whether it is true or not, this slave dare not say for sure!" Mo Ren continued to reply respectfully.

Shen Tianhao also has doubts about this. The father-in-law Xia in the palace has followed his father for many years. If he is not strict with his mouth, he certainly cannot be valued by his father for so many years. It is not impossible that the confidant eunuch revealed something in front of him, or it is also possible that the little eunuch heard it from elsewhere in the palace.

"I will investigate this matter again. Do you remember that if something happens, you will come to inform me immediately, understand?" Shen Tianhao also made up his mind to enter the palace.

Mo Ren bowed his head and said yes, but he smiled complacently in his heart.

It is true that Shen Jingyi wanted to abdicate early so that Shen Tianche would succeed to the throne with his success, but very few people knew about it, even Shen Tianche and Feng Nanxi were at the moment. Didn't know their father had this idea at all.

Let me ask, how could a young eunuch know such a strict matter?

Unless, someone with a heart told him.

As for whether Mo Ren knew about it after the little eunuch leaked his words, or before that, it is uncertain.

Anyway, looking at Prince Chen's cloudy expression, some people have already achieved their goal.

But after a while, Prince Chen entered the palace with the excuse of paying respects to his mother and concubine. This kind of excuse is always the most appropriate.

As soon as he arrived at Concubine Li's bedroom, he asked his concubine mother to keep everyone away, leaving only the mother and son in the palace.

"Huang Er, why do you need to be so cautious?" Li Hua Nong asked doubtfully.

Shen Tianhao approached his concubine mother and asked softly in front of her.

For a moment, Li Hua Nong's face changed, and a hint of disbelief flashed on his graceful face.

"How is it possible, your father is still so healthy, where did you think of this step!"

Li Hua Nong was still very surprised by Shen Tianhao's untruthful news.

Shen Tianhao asked with some seriousness: "These days, mother and concubine, don't you think there is something wrong with Father?"

As soon as he said this, Li Hua Nong's face darkened by three points, and he said helplessly: "Since the Nanruan incident, your father has almost never stepped into my palace gate, even if I took the initiative Going to look for him, he often uses busyness as an excuse to avoid seeing him, I seldom even see his figure, let alone notice something wrong!"

As the most honored imperial concubine in the harem, she is now being treated mercilessly. Except that the emperor did not drive her to the cold palace, the rest of the treatment is almost the same, which makes Li Huanong happy.

Seeing his mother and concubine talking so lonely, Shen Tianhao realized that although his mother and concubine dressed up as usual, noble and elegant, but her face was always a bit haggard. It seems that these days, she is in the palace. It may not be as peaceful as he imagined.

For his mother and concubine, Shen Tianhao has never been particularly concerned about it, but now he feels a little bit distressed. Although he has been strict with him since he was a child, he also regards him as a bargaining chip for him to become the future empress dowager. But now that I think about it, why isn't she doing it for his own good?
They are the biological mother and son, and as the saying goes, they share prosperity and decline together, and it will definitely not be a good thing for him if the mother and concubine are not favored.

"Concubine Xian didn't make any movement?" Shen Tianhao's voice softened slightly.

When mentioning Concubine Xian, Li Hua Nong also had a mocking smile on his face.

"she?"

Full of disdain.

"Because of her precious daughter, her situation is worse than mine now. I'm afraid your father doesn't want to see her even more, so where would you go to her?" I feel even more lonely, and I feel relieved.
