The emperor threw the letter in his hand heavily on her and angrily said, "Did you do anything to make the queen in trouble?"

The letter on the ground was taken aback by Concubine Duan. She bent down and slowly picked up the letter on the ground, and said in an extremely calm tone, "Yes, I did it."

The emperor was so angry that he trembled all over, pointing at her fiercely and said, "You are so brave that you even dare to kill the queen!"

Concubine Duan turned around slowly and poured him a cup of tea. She looked calm and said gently, "Your Majesty, I did this for you."

"For me?" The emperor widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Concubine Duan slowly placed the tea on his table, "Yes, when Lord Lu knew about your plot to murder the late emperor, you thought that as long as you killed the Lu family, the matter would be over, but what about the queen? Have you ever thought that she has always known about this matter? Keeping her by your side will only make you dig your own grave. I know you can't bear to do it, so I sent someone to assassinate her without telling you."

"Your Majesty, I did all this for you."

"You...you!" The emperor was so angry that he threw his hand heavily, "Even so, you have to discuss it with me first!"

Concubine Duan walked behind him, lifted him up and pinched his shoulders, "You have always been kind and soft-hearted. If I really consulted you, would you kill Lu Zhou?"

The emperor paused and did not reply.

Concubine Duan asked him, "Who gave you this letter?"

The emperor was silent for a while, then said, "It was my third brother."

Concubine Duan said coldly, "Where did he get this letter from?"

There was still anger in the emperor's eyes, "Your people were accidentally bumped into by him when they were in Qingzhou Prefecture."

Concubine Duan was puzzled, "Why was he in Qingzhou Prefecture?"

The emperor said slowly, "He should have heard that the queen was not dead, so he went there to look for her."

Concubine Duan frowned and her face was full of worry. Now that the third prince was watching, it would not be so easy for her to act.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Your Majesty, this time it's my fault. I will discuss anything with you in the future."

The emperor sighed and said, "Forget about this matter. Don't interfere in the queen's affairs in the future. Now that the Lu family is finished, even if she knows everything, it will not threaten us. Besides..."

Concubine Duan asked hurriedly, "Besides what?"

The emperor looked into the distance, "Besides, I have been the emperor for most of my life, and I have to find a suitable person to inherit the throne."

Concubine Duan's face suddenly became a little ugly.

It's not that she didn't think about having a child, but unfortunately her body was not good and she had never been pregnant.

"Your Majesty, isn't there a prince in the harem now?" Concubine Duan said in a soft voice.

The emperor frowned, "Those princes are either cowardly or ignorant, none of them can take on important responsibilities."

The Concubine Duan frowned and said slowly, "I think the seventh prince is not bad."

The emperor frowned even more, "Concubine, I won't bother you to worry about my harem."

Concubine Duan stood up quickly and bowed respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor didn't blame her anymore and got up and left.

Waiting for the emperor to leave.

Concubine Duan immediately called the maid, "Who else is favored in the palace now?"

The maid said slowly, "Two new concubines have come to the palace."

Concubine Duan said coldly, "No matter what method is used, let them give birth to a prince! Even if it's not the emperor."

The maid hurriedly bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After the maid left, Concubine Duan fell on the couch, with a trace of hesitation in her eyes and fear on her face.

After the emperor left Concubine Duan's palace, he specially sent a few trusted guards to keep an eye on Concubine Duan's every move, especially to keep an eye on her and prevent her from sending out assassins again.

Late at night, the eunuch in the emperor's palace secretly told the third prince what the emperor had just ordered.

After hearing this, the third prince's heart, which had been hanging tight, fell. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the emperor and Concubine Duan, he decided to stay in the capital for a while and take care of Zhou Feng by the way.

Zhou Feng's business in the capital was booming, and Zhou's incense shop expanded from one store to three stores.

General Han's daughter often came to him. On the surface, she wanted to help Zhou Feng with his business, but in fact, she just wanted to watch him in the shop.

Zhou Feng was a dull-headed man and had never noticed the abnormality of Miss Han.

Until the youngest son of Mr. Qiu came to his shop, he found out something.

Different.

Mr. Qiu has always wanted to marry the Han family, so he wanted his youngest son to marry the eldest daughter of the Han family. A few days ago, he sent someone to propose marriage, but was driven away by the eldest daughter of the Han family.

The Qiu family felt very embarrassed, especially the youngest son of the Qiu family. He had a slick face and thought he was outstanding in appearance. He was very puzzled by the behavior of the eldest daughter of the Han family.

He sent someone to investigate, and later learned that the eldest daughter of the Han family had been guarding the Zhou family's incense shop.
