The Enchanting Emperor

Under the attire of Cai He and Cai Xiang, Ji Yune's vermilion brows were covered in smoke. Even after dressing up, she was still a beautiful lady. She didn't lose to the young ladies of the harem who had just entered the harem.

Ji Yune thought, even if shesheere to die now, she would have to die with honor and dignity. Wasn't the Consort Wan doing all this to ridicule him? In the past, she no longer had the backbone, and now, even if it was for her own child, Ji Yune, he would definitely not compromise.

"Imperial Concubine Su can be at ease, this Consort Wan will definitely not go back on her word. The Empress could have gone herself. What's more, didn't you also leave a last resort for the Empress?! " Regarding the threat of the Ji Shufei, he did not care about it at all.

He was talking about threatening the Consort Wan, but the Ji Shufei did not have that much authority to do so. Moreover, this matter was related to the crown prince's identity, so the Ji Shufei was just using some opportunistic methods. But just this, was enough for the Ji Shufei.

Lying on his bed, drinking the poison wine. Ji Shufei wanted him to die in his most beautiful posture. Consort Wan had the ability to hide the poison from others, but not to prevent others from suspecting his death. Right now, this kind of peaceful sleep could be considered as protecting Zhu Youtang, as it would create the false impression that a Ji Shufei really had an emergency.

"Aunt Cai He, you are someone serving mufei, why don't you know what's going on with mufei yourself? Or could it be that Aunt Cai He also wants this crown prince to order the execution? " Zhu Youtang felt that maybe she should threaten her a little. Between protecting her life and keeping it a secret, Cai He should choose to protect her life.

However, Zhu Youtang was only eight years old, even if the things he came into contact with were strategies of power and the way of kings, these things were still too shallow for Zhu Youtang. The human heart was something that was the hardest to grasp. Zhu Youtang only knew how to suppress others through power.

But Zhu Youtang did not understand, there were many times when people had bad intentions. "The more threatening you are, the more certain people are that you're not going to give in." Your Highness, the Empress's death was like the imperial physician had said, an accident. But, did His Highness forget what the Empress told His Highness back then? "

Zhu Youtang never thought that Cai He would still dare to explain herself to her concubine now. " You, as a servant, can't even protect your master, what do I need you for? Didn't you see how lonely the mufei in the mourning hall is? "

Today was the fifth day since the death of Ji Shufei, and also the fourth day as a sacrifice in the mourning hall. On the night that the Ji Shufei died, the etiquette supervisor reported the news to the emperor. Then, in Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhu Jianshen gave the order to the right sect of the Sect Mansion to meet them. Finally, the funeral of the Ji Shufei was handed over to the Department of Public Affairs and the Sect Mansion to work together.

This kind of arrangement was also because of Zhu Youtang's identity as the crown prince, Ji Shufei was the crown prince's mother after all. Ever since the Empress Dowager Zhou had excluded the Empress Dowager Qian, the rules of the Palace had been broken.

So now because of Zhu Youtang, Ji Shufei was initially just a funeral arranged by Sect Mansion, but now, with the participation of the Department of Rites, it was more than enough to give Ji Shufei face.

"Mistress, what are you thinking about?" Du Li had been serving Zhu Youtang closely for three years already. They were not people who had followed Zhu Youtang out of West Palace, but they were people that Zhu Youtang had personally selected himself.

Different from the ducks and pears Empress Dowager Zhou and Former Empress Wu gave to Zhu Youtang, Zhu Youtang wanted to cultivate Du Li. But with the death of the Ji Shufei, Zhu Youtang's own identity had also changed. The servants that served Zhu Youtang closely became people that Zhu Youtang needed to be on guard against.

After arguing with Cai He for a while, Zhu Youtang didn't want to see the people by his mother's side anymore. However, Zhu Youtang also knew that what Cai He said was the truth. However, Zhu Youtang was unable to accept his mother's life in exchange for her own survival.

While Zhu Youtang was at a loss about this, the Former Empress Wu of the Six An Palace was already ready to go. The death of Ji Shufei, whether it was Zhu Youtang or the Empress Dowager Zhou, had a lot of impact. Without exception, Empress Dowager Zhou knew that this was done by Consort Wan.

In order to make Zhu Youtang safer, Empress Dowager Zhou cried in front of Zhu Jianshen for a long time. Emperor, don't tell me you don't believe it at all. Even though Wailing Home is old and dizzy, he still knows that the Ji clan is not a person who would be easily taken care of. "

"But now that he's died so randomly, my poor Understand. It's only been a few days, and my mother died just like that. " In the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhou, there were always people who wanted to harm the emperor. Even Zhu Jianshen himself could not persuade them against this kind of crime.

"Mother, isn't Understand in your Tzu Ning Palace? The Queen Mother will take care of him personally, so how can I not be at ease? " To his own mother, Zhu Jianshen, he had always been conceding the decision, but now, the Empress Dowager Zhou seemed to want to push it further.

"Understand is your son, but now that your child is in danger, you as your father actually aren't worried. My grandson, why is your life so bitter? " Since the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to cause trouble for the Emperor, Zhu Jianshen could only obey. In the end, not only were the people from the Empress Dowager Zhou at Zhu Youtang's side, even the people from the emperor were arranged to be at the Eastern Palace.

"Master, why are you so confused? The Crown Prince's identity is safe now. Furthermore, if Consort Wan really had conclusive evidence, how could she not tell everyone about this matter? Since you have yet to speak, this means that there is a trick to this matter. "

Cai Xiang had already moved away from the Imperial Palace, and coincidentally met Fu Cheng in the past few days to gather some things. Therefore, Cai Xiang accompanied Lu Chun to the Huangzhuang at the outskirts of the capital. With this delay, the news that Cai Xiang came back to know was that Ji Yune was already dead.

Regarding Zhu Youtang's identity, Cai Xiang would definitely be suspicious. But how did the Consort Wan know about it? Cai Xiang felt that this was just a trap.

"But even so, we still have to ask clear questions." How is the crown prince now? Do you have any ill feelings towards the two of you? "

"Not only does Your Highness hate us now, even the servants arranged for you in the East Palace have received punishment. The situation now is not good for us at all. "Are we really not going to discuss things with the Empress?"

Cai He had never had any ideas, but since the Ji Shufei was dead, if Zhu Youtang wanted to blame him, he could only follow his master's last words. Now that Cai Xiang had returned, all of this became Cai Xiang's responsibility once again.

"Of course we have to inform Master about this, but you are the one who is following by Master's side. You tell me exactly what you think of it. Exactly who was it that came to the inner hall before? How did a cup of non-toxic wine get you killed? "

Cai Xiang was more skillful than Cai He, so what the imperial physician said was actually true. However, the wine that was free of poison was most likely going to take away the life of the Ji Shufei, so Cai Xiang could not let go of any clues.

"Then, does the movements of the mysterious Caiyue sisters count?" Thinking back to the intermittent events that had occurred in the past few months, Cai He was even more determined that there was actually a problem with the Caiyue Sisters.

"Alright, I know about this. Then, we'll investigate in secret. " Right now, the emperor's intentions were extremely clear. Therefore, if this matter were to be spread out, it would be slapping the emperor in the face. It would be disrespecting the emperor.

How could Cai Xiang not care about the honor of the royalty?

"Teacher, why did you come here?" Zhu Youtang never thought that during this kind of night, which should have been a curfew, he would actually see Former Empress Wu at his mother's mourning hall.

"Let me burn an incense stick for your mother. After all, the dead are big. Your mother and I have always been kind people. " The Former Empress Wu did not care about Zhu Youtang who stood up after he finished speaking, he stuck the incense into the incense burner himself.

"I heard that you made a ruckus in Yao Guang Palace. Understand, tell me now, do you think your actions are correct?" After being silent for a long time, just when Zhu Youtang thought that the two of them were speechless with each other, the Former Empress Wu finally opened his mouth.

"When you were first conferred the title of Crown Prince, you were always bullied by the young eunuchs. Do you understand now?" Former Empress Wu also did not mention the death of Ji Shufei. Instead, he said some irrelevant nonsense.

"Right now, I am able to answer all of them in front of the officials. I am already highly praised by the Tutor Ye. Therefore, these servants do not dare to underestimate me. "

"You're right. It's not too late for you to understand, or is there hope for you?" However, I do not have a good life like yours. "

Former Empress Wu seemed to miss it, but he was regretful as he recalled the things that were originally sealed away, the things that he was originally unwilling to part with.

From the Former Empress Wu's mouth, Zhu Youtang found out that his royal grandfather had actually chosen three emperors for him. However, none of these three empress dowager had truly entered her father's heart!

The Anglo-Saxon emperor had personally inspected the Former Empress Wu, the current Queen Wang and the current Imperial Consort Xian Bai. However, heaven's will had messed with him. Before the Anglo-Saxon could arrange a candidate for the Queen for his son, the Anglo-Saxon had already passed away.

After that, Zhu Jianshen ascended to the throne and the late emperor died. However, the late emperor's final wish was still there. It was that the empress must be one of the three people he had chosen. Empress Dowager Zhou wholeheartedly adored and admired the Anglo-Saxon Emperor, so he naturally had to follow Anglo-Saxon's wishes.

Since the Empress Dowager Qian was the wife of the Anglo-Saxon,he naturally had to follow the wishes of the late emperor as well. In the end, with his beautiful appearance and dignified temperament, she became the successor of Zhu Jianshen.

"Following that, Lady Wang and Madame Bai became the emperors' second wives." Previously, I thought that as long as I could satisfy the empress dowager and become a saint for the Great Ming Dynasty, the Emperor would at least be able to see my good points. "

At this point, the Former Empress Wu mocked himself. But it was only after I entered the West Palace and stayed for a year did I understand my illustrious family background. My knowledge is nothing good in this palace. "

"Look, I have a good card in my hand. But, in the end, I was still tricked by the Consort Wan and fell to my current state. Even if I was the late emperor's empress, the current emperor is your father. "

"Am I that inferior to him in terms of birth? No, I'm not bad at all, but I lost. Losing to a lowly servant of the Wan, who could they blame for all this? Blame your Royal Grandmother? No, I can only blame myself for everything. "I underestimated my opponent. I thought I was wrong, so I suffered a crushing defeat."

"But now you're not. You can be sad when your mufei dies. But if you can't pull yourself together, even if I can help you, so what if your aunt can protect you! Zhu Youtang, you were the one who said that you understood it yourself. "

"If you continue to be decadent like this right now, it wouldn't be long before you become like the Wan. Why do you think your mufei died? Because you are too intelligent, you have behaved too well in front of the emperor in the court. Therefore, Wan is afraid that you will kill her with your full wings. "

"Therefore, the Wan must strike first to gain the upper hand."
