“Imperial Mother, I heard that the Empress went to Changle Palace and caught Consort Zhao Xian having an affair with a guard?”
The matter of the harem palace, as long as there was a slight movement, would be known to everyone.
Moreover, it was gossip like this!
After Noble Consort Zhou heard this, she suddenly felt her hair stand on end, and her entire body was drenched in a cold sweat.
Why would Empress Chen, who rarely cared about the affairs of the back palace, suddenly go to Changle Palace?
And why did it have to be so coincidental that Consort Zhao Xian would be caught cheating by the Empress?
However, one had to know that among the four consorts, Noble Consort Zhou, Consort Liu De, Consort Zhao Xian, and Consort Wang Shu, Consort Zhao Xian was very virtuous and well-behaved.
However, why did such a person have to be caught by Empress Chen in adultery?
No, no, Empress Chen was warning the rest!
It was to warn the concubines in the palace!
“Imperial Mother, Imperial Mother…” The Third Prince was talking to Noble Consort Zhou, but seeing her absent-minded appearance, he hurriedly called out a few times.
Imperial Consort Zhou reacted and said calmly,” Consort Zhao Xian is really unlucky!’
Yuwen Feiye frowned and said, “Mother, what does the Empress mean by causing such a commotion?
Noble Consort Zhou and Empress Chen had fought for so many years, so she more or less understood each other’s temperament.
She thought for a moment and said,” Perhaps it’s as we guessed. His Majesty isn’t in the palace, and the news has been leaked. Therefore, the Empress decided to directly expose that the Emperor was not in the palace to warn those concubines who were restless. Even if the Emperor is not in the palace, she, the Empress, is still guarding the palace. If anything happened, she, the Empress, would do whatever she had to do!”
At this point, Noble Consort Zhou’s eyes burst with intense hatred and unwillingness.
What right did Chen Wanyue have to do whatever she wanted? She could be willful and recldess, while she, who was also the Emperor’s woman, had to be
restricted by the rules.
The Third Prince was shocked and said in horror,” But the Empress exposed the fact that Father secretly left the palace. Wouldn’t that bring great danger to Father? What did the Empress want to do?”
Imperial Concubine Zhou shook her head when she heard this. Then, she sneered and said,” Ye ‘er, you’re wrong! Although the Empress had taken a great risk by exposing the Emperor’s whereabouts, it had also brought great security to the Emperor.”
Yuwen Feiye asked in confusion,” Mother, what do you mean?
Noble Consort Zhou said,” Because this way, the Empress can use the excuse of searching to send a large number of guards and secret guards to search for His Majesty outside the palace.
“Therefore, even if someone wanted to take advantage of His Majesty’s departure from the palace to do something unfavorable to His Majesty, they had to consider carefully whether they would be discovered by the guards who would also be searching for His Majesty.
“One had to know that the palace guards and secret guards were not to be trifled with.
“Besides, I don’t believe that His Majesty didn’t make any arrangements before he left the palace. From my understanding of the emperor, he must have told the empress something, so the empress saw the situation and began to attack!
“It’s just that I didn’t expect that after His Majesty left the palace, the Empress would actually use one of the four consorts, Consort Zhao Xian, as an example!” Imperial Concubine Zhou had a cold smile on her face, but she could not help but feel nervous. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh without realizing it.
Yuwen Feiye might not have known, but she felt that Empress Chen was giving her a warning.
However, ever since the Emperor had closed his doors and disappeared, she had also been very ” well-behaved “. Other than letting Ye ‘Er go to the Zhou family, she had also asked the Zhou family to send people to find the Emperor’s whereabouts secretly.
Zhou Family?
Could it be…
Noble Consort Zhou suddenly became alert.
Noble Consort Zhou asked Yuwen Feiye very seriously,” Ye ‘er, some time ago, you went to find your uncle and asked him to secretly send people to find the whereabouts of the Emperor. Did your uncle say anything?”
Yuwen Feiye was stunned. He didn’t know why his mother would suddenly ask this, but he still told his mother everything he had told his uncle.
When Noble Consort Zhou heard this, she lowered her eyes and slightly wrinkled her beautiful forehead.
She didn’t find anything wrong.
However, she felt that something was wrong.
In the end, she instructed Yuwen Feiye, “Ye ‘er, go to your uncle’s house again and tell him to withdraw the people who went to investigate the whereabouts of His Majesty!’
Yuwen Feiye was confused.” Why, Mother?”
Since they had confirmed that his father had secretly left the palace and was completely exposed, shouldn’t they send people to find his whereabouts and protect his safety?
Imperial Concubine Zhou took a deep breath and said to Yuwen Feiye very seriously,” Ye ‘er, I don’t trust your uncle!”
Yuwen Feiye was shocked. He widened his eyes in disbelief and asked,” Mother, what do you mean? But how is this possible?” Her words implied that The Third Prince’s uncle Zhou Dehong would do things that were contrary to his wishes. His uncle might kill His Majesty and then frame the Third Prince and his Mother.
Although they were close to the Zhou family, if they were involved in the murder of the emperor, it would be a crime that would implicate nine families.
Wouldn’t his uncle be afraid of being implicated?
Unless he thought of a way out.
Noble Consort Zhou said seriously, “Ye ‘er, it’s hard to fathom the human heart! Nothing is impossible. Although we are linked to the fate of the Zhou family, don’t forget that the Zhou family’s Zhou Wenya is the one they are trying to send to the throne.
“Think about it, among your brothers or nephews, who would the Zhou family pick? Other than you, does he have any other choice?”
But this time, Yuwen Feiye was even more confused.
If the Zhou Family was really prepping Zhou Wenya to marry him to be the future Empress, then his uncle should not have harmed his father, right? Why would his uncle harm them?
Noble Consort Zhou looked at her confused son and sighed softly. ‘Ye ‘er, you will understand in the future! Go to the Zhou family now and ask your uncle to call everyone back! Also, tell your uncle that if something happens to His Majesty, the first family that will be implicated will definitely be the Zhou family! All his plans will fail!” Yuwen Feiye replied respectfully,” Yes, Mother!”
In a small courtyard in the capital.
A man in black reported to the man sitting in the shadows in the room, “Master, Noble Consort Zhou asked Zhou Dehong to withdraw all the people he sent out!”
The man in the dark revealed a pair of slender and well-defined hands. There was a jade ring on his thumb, and he was holding a small porcelain cup.
He said coldly, “I have really underestimated Chen Wanyue! However, the Zhou family has other plans anyway, so we’re not in a hurry! Pass down the order to send people to intercept His Majesty on the road!”
“Yes, sir!”
The man in black replied solemnly..
