946, deep dwelling
The eldest prince was born prematurely, and before entering the palace, Liang had an affair with a man outside. Anyone who heard this would doubt the origin of the eldest prince, let alone the emperor!
No wonder the queen dared to mention adoption at this time. Once the emperor began to suspect that the eldest prince was not his son, after countless hesitation and struggles, this suspicion would become more deeply rooted, just like being imprinted in his heart with an iron, and it could not be removed. The eldest prince had already angered the emperor countless times. The reason why the emperor had always tolerated him was because the eldest prince was the emperor's only son. Once this belief was shaken, the eldest prince would no longer have the capital to do whatever he wanted.
When the empress proposed adoption at this time, the emperor was very likely to consider the adoption mentioned by the empress, as long as the emperor had to doubt the origin of the eldest prince, and this doubt was better than his obsession with blood, and his face and dignity as an emperor.
"What if the emperor doesn't believe it?" Asking the emperor to believe that the eldest prince was not his, it means that the emperor has to accept that he is an emperor without a descendant and the only emperor who has no prince in the past hundred years.
"But if I don't let go and adopt a child, I can only sit and wait for death!" The queen's eyes were full of a certain edge.
This is not the time to persuade! Xu Shu will not say much.
But once the queen adopts Duan, it will be even more difficult for Zhou Jin to come back openly...
"Once Duan is adopted by this palace, it will be the legitimate prince. It will be a matter of time before the title of Prince Duan is the crown prince. At that time, Princess Duan will be the crown prince, and the emperor's body will only last for a few years. At that time, the crown prince's seat will be in this position under my palace!"
The queen gently patted the phoenix chair under her, "Don't you want to sit in this position?"
Xu Shu shook her head firmly, "Although this position is very attractive, this position is also under tremendous pressure and responsibility. My daughter thinks that she doesn't have the ability to sit in this position, so it's better not to sit!"
The queen looked at Xu Shu for a while and suddenly smiled, "If I hadn't known you for so many years, I would probably not believe what you said!"
"Everything that my daughter said is heartfelt, and this position has never been what my daughter wanted!"
"I know what you said is true! So I told you openly because I know that you are on this side of my palace!"
"Thank you for your trust in the Queen, I am ashamed of my daughter..."
"You are closer to me than your mother. For example, you will definitely not dare to say these words in front of your mother!"
Xu Shu lowered her head, which was considered a default.
"The man who had an affair with Liang's family has already been looking for him. When he finds that person, I will ask someone to submit the Liang family's last letter to the emperor and then lead the emperor to find the man. At that time, the emperor will not believe it!"
"What kind of things can the ministers help? Or the Zheng family help?" Xu Shu asked.
The Empress smiled and said, "I will do this by myself. If the Zheng family intervenes, leaving traces and is discovered by the emperor, it will be counterproductive!"
"Yes! The Empress thought it through carefully!"
If the queen really finds that person, with the emperor's suspicion and doubts of the eldest prince, it would be certain... The queen's move is really cruel!
"Okay, what I told you today, you should think about it carefully when you go back! Of course, you can regret it at any time!" The queen smiled at Xu Shu with a meaningful smile. In that smile, Xu Shu saw a hint of cruelty, and she became even more determined to think in her heart!
"Madam Yuan, send Miss Jiu out of the palace!"
Xu Shu refused, "The weather is cold, and Madam Yuan is also suffering from this trip. How many times did the daughter come? I have known how to leave for a long time. Madam Yuan should stay and serve the empress!"
The queen smiled and said to Madam Yuan, "Miss Jiu feels sorry for you, why don't you thank Miss Jiu!"
"Thank you Miss Jiu! I have arranged a sedan chair to send Miss Jiu out of the palace!" Madam Yuan thanked her so much, so the Empress let Xu Shu leave alone.
After leaving Kunning Palace, a cold wind blew, and the cold Xu Shu couldn't help but shrink her neck, "It's so cold..."
"Yes, looking at the sky, it seems that it is about to snow!" Yuzhu looked up at the sky. The dark clouds pulled the sky very low, as if she could touch the sky just by tiptoing and stretching out her hand.
"Go away quickly! If you don't leave, maybe it will start to snow when you get home!" Xu Shu got into the sedan chair, and the sedan chair was walking along the sedan chair. Xu Shu suddenly smelled a little strange. She lifted the curtain and looked out. Although it was different from the scenery she saw in summer, it was undoubtedly Taihuachi.
After leaving Kunning Palace, you don’t have to pass through Taihua Pond to leave the palace. But passing through Taihua Pond is the way to Taichang Palace…
Xu Shu put down the curtain and waited calmly to arrive at her destination, but Yuzhu couldn't wait any longer.
Yuzhu, who was following the sedan chair, found that the sedan chair was not going out of the palace. She was suddenly panicked and couldn't help lifting the curtain and looking at Xu Shu nervously. Xu Shu nodded to her and told her not to panic. Yuzhu gradually calmed down, thinking that the eldest prince had not entered the palace today, and she was not afraid that anyone would make things difficult for her lady.
When he arrived at Taichang Palace, Ruan Jiao stopped. A palace maid came forward to lift the curtain. Yuzhu stepped forward and blocked it with his body. The palace maid squinted her eyes and looked at Yuzhu provocatively. Yuzhu did not give in at all. The palace maid was a little impatient and was about to pull Yuzhu away, but Xu Shu suddenly walked out of the sedan chair.
"Finally arrived!"
Looking at the door plaque of Taichang Palace, Xu Shu smiled faintly. This was the first time she saw the door plaque of Taichang Palace. Compared with the style of Kunning Palace, the magnificent of Cining Palace is much more simple. The vermilion door has become peeling and mottled due to the wind and sun. The half-closed door crack can just accommodate a person in and out. The door is closed in broad daylight. Queen Mother Fu is really "living in a quiet place"...
Xu Shu looked at the palace maid who was looking at Yuzhu sarcastically. The aura on her body was familiar to her. It seemed that she was the personal palace maid who served the Queen Mother Fu!
"Miss Xu Jiu, Empress Dowager is invited!" The palace maid turned around and made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Shu has not moved.
The palace maid bent her waist, "Miss Xu Jiu, the Empress Dowager is welcome!"
Xu Shu still didn't move at all.
The palace maid finally couldn't help but feel impatient, "Miss Xu Jiu, letting the Empress Dowager wait for a long time is not a good thing for you!"
Xu Shu smiled coldly and glanced at Yuzhu, "Tell her, who am I!"
Yuzhu said with confidence, "I don't know which "Miss Xu Jiu" this sister calls me. I only know that my lady is Miss Zheng Jiu!"
The palace maid changed her words, "Miss Zheng Jiu, the Empress Dowager is welcome!"
