Chapter 402

Shen Du was visiting Queen Mother Zheng in Dingyuan Temple when Concubine Shu was banned from Yonghe Palace and the palace was disturbing.

Empress Dowager Zheng was not surprised by Shen Du's visit.That night, when she turned back at the emergency exit, she knew that the matter was over. ——An Jieyu is dead, and there is only one Ninth Prince left behind.

Sure enough, Shen Du came to Dingyuan Temple to ask for help.

Now the Ninth Prince is like a walking corpse, Shen Du and the others are far outside the palace, no matter what they want to do to protect him, they can't.

Gu Yan had previously suggested that the Ninth Prince be brought to Dingyuan Temple through the Empress Dowager Zheng, so that it would be much more convenient for Shen Du and others to see the Ninth Prince outside the palace.

Moreover, there is Fan Yi outside the palace, a child of similar age who can soothe the soul the most.What the Ninth Prince needs most is this.

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to bring His Royal Highness Nine out. He is alone in the palace, and he doesn't know what will happen. Please take pity on me." Shen Du knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Zheng and pleaded.

Empress Dowager Zheng didn't speak, but lowered her head and moved the rosary beads, seemingly thinking.

Seeing this, Shen Du said: "My Lady, Concubine Shu is now banned, and Chen Jieyu is in charge of the harem. It would be best if My Lady could return to the palace."

If Empress Dowager Zheng can return to the palace, Shen Du can rest assured that she will protect the Ninth Prince in the palace.After all, with the Empress and Concubine Shu being imprisoned, the harem indeed lacks a worthy concubine to serve as director.Chen Jieyu is only a temporary substitute, there must be another person in the palace to take charge.

Concubine Shu was banned, and Chen Jieyu was still in the palace.At that time, An Jie was convicted in the Zichen Palace, and Chen Jieyu was an accomplice, so sooner or later this matter will be counted.

Empress Dowager Zheng will not enter the palace, so who will be in charge of the harem?
After much deliberation, Shen Du still felt that it would be better to take Zhu Xuanzhi out of the palace.Now, it depends on what Queen Mother Zheng means.

Empress Dowager Zheng remained silent, neither agreeing nor objecting, what was she thinking?

Empress Dowager Zheng was still thinking about what Shen Su said earlier.If you know your son's mistakes and don't teach them, you are not loving.He who does not love his son is also unkind.

Not kind, not kind, is she not kind, or is her son not kind?

After a long time, Empress Dowager Zheng said: "I will tell the palace about this matter. I suggest to the emperor that Concubine De take over the harem."

Empress Dowager Zheng has been in Dingyuan Temple for so many years, and she has long been used to addressing her as "I". Her suggestion, the emperor will definitely adopt.

Concubine De, a concubine selected only after Emperor Chongde ascended the throne, has been complaining of illness for many years and staying in Yanxi Palace.Shen Du is not familiar with this person.

Empress Dowager Zheng said that Concubine De will be in charge. So, Concubine De no longer claims to be sick?What will the harem under the management of Concubine De be like?
These remain to be seen.But hearing that Queen Mother Zheng was willing to take Zhu Xuanzhi out, Shen Du was very happy.Once the child is out of the palace, the danger will be much less.

After Queen Mother Zheng spoke, she continued: "However, taking him out is tantamount to letting him cut himself off from the relationship between father and son. This is not good."

Although Queen Mother Zheng was in Dingyuan Temple, she knew everything, including Zhu Xuanzhi's mood after An Jieyu's death, and why the Shen family had to take Zhu Xuanzhi out.She had expected how things would go, but she would feel sad.So, what about the relationship between the royal father and son?
Shen Du didn't reply right away, and after a while, he replied: "Please forgive me for being bold, and dare to ask why you live in Dingyuan Temple for a long time?"

Empress Dowager Zheng moved out of the palace after Emperor Chongde ascended the throne, and lived a miserable life in Dingyuan Temple, deliberately staying away from the power and glory brought by her son. Why is this?
If he hadn't been heartbroken and knew that nothing would help, how could he have resolutely left the palace?
Now, he wants to take Zhu Xuanzhi out.It makes sense.If the emperor could kill An Jieyu on groundless charges, he might reject or kill Zhu Xuanzhi for no reason. ——Anyway, there are so many princes.

For Emperor Chongde, Zhu Xuanzhi is just one of many princes, but for Shen Du, Zhu Xuanzhi is his only apprentice.Quantity can sometimes explain the intimacy of feelings.

How could Shen Du be willing to let Zhu Xuanzhi stay in the dangerous place in the palace?It's great that Queen Mother Zheng is willing to pick up Zhu Xuanzhi.If Queen Mother Zheng refuses to agree, he will have to find another way.

Now that Empress Dowager Zheng talked about the relationship between the royal father and son, he can only answer in this way.

After hearing Shen Du's words, Empress Dowager Zheng paused when she dialed the rosary.That's right, a prince, if he couldn't stay in the palace, who would ask to leave?

For the prince, staying away from the imperial palace means staying away from the emperor's sight, which means staying away from the power structure of the dynasty.

There are gains and losses, such things must have been thought of by Shen Du and the emperor.

After some time, when Shen Du was about to leave, Empress Dowager Zheng said again: "I'm old, I can't teach him anything, you can take him to Shen's house."

The regret of Empress Dowager Zheng's life is that she did not bring Emperor Chongde from childhood to adulthood.Now that she is old, she no longer has the energy to bring up a child.

Emperor Master Shen Su, she can be trusted.She trusted the young man in front of her.In this way, it would be better for the child to go to Shen's house.

Shen Du looked at the white-haired Empress Dowager Zheng, his heart trembled, then he bent down, bowed to the Empress Dowager Zheng, and said: "Thank you, Madam, thank you for your kindness and love for the Shen family, and thank you, Madam, for your kindness to His Highness the Ninth Prince." Pity. I would like to devote my whole life to teaching Your Highness the Ninth Highness, and wish the world a peaceful and prosperous world, and I will definitely live up to your mother’s kindness!"

A prince, a prince taught by the Shen family, a prince who truly upholds Shen Su's will, this is a great kindness and a great responsibility.

Empress Dowager Zheng sent such kindness and responsibility to the Shen family, which reflected her trust in the Shen family.This kind of trust is something that the Shen family cannot live up to.

Hearing the words "Peace and Prosperity", Empress Dowager Zheng seemed to remember something, and the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously.

Isn't peace and prosperity what everyone wants?Including Empress Dowager Zheng who has been in the deep palace for a long time.

Empress Dowager Zheng's meaning quickly reached Emperor Chongde's ears through Mrs. An Guogong.The reason Empress Dowager Zheng said was very simple. She said that she felt lonely recently and wanted to pick a grandson from the palace to accompany her in Dingyuan Temple.

At the same time, she also said that Chen Jieyu's status is low, and it is not suitable to manage the entire harem after all; if Chen Jieyu's status is raised, the East Palace may have ideas.Therefore, she suggested that the concubine De of Yanxi Palace should manage the harem, and Chen Jieyu should assist her.

Emperor Chongde was very surprised when he received the message from Empress Dowager Zheng.The queen mother appointed Lao Jiu to accompany her at Dingyuan Temple, and also suggested that Concubine De be in charge of the harem.This means, is the queen mother willing to take care of the affairs of the palace?

Although Xie Zi and Concubine Shu were not muttering, Emperor Chongde still hesitated.
