Chapter 41 The Eve

After hearing that the emperor's decree was not opposed to the court, Empress He fully understood a fact that her family might have abandoned them, mother and son. Thinking of her cousin He Mofei's inexplicable death, she knew that her old uncle could not let go of the truth. Feng Wuzhao's actions were probably really disappointed. She had no idea that her son or herself, or He Furong, who had always been smart, had been deeply trapped in a long-planned trap.

What else can she rely on? She can't let the only bargaining chip in her hand assassinate the emperor? He smiled bitterly and sat down dejectedly. It would be better for them to protect Wu Zhao, so that she could leave her last bit of blood. The two eunuchs behind her had been secretly restrained by her people. At this time, she could not speak out, so she could only look at the nominal Lord of the Six Palaces in resentment and horror.

This was not a perfect plan, it was just a dying struggle. He knew very well that no one in the harem was reliable. The only confidant Wuyi had died, so she broke the last pillar. Several important officials outside were all entrusted by their grandfather back then, so she sent someone to contact him, hoping to protect Feng Wuzhao's future. With a clever tongue and luring him to value profit, several greedy people agreed. As for those who were pedantic and honest, she understood it with great righteousness of the monarch and ministers. After all, establishing a crown prince with a legitimate legitimate is an ancient ritual, and it is also a major event for establishing a country and a safe country. For these ministers who adhere to the etiquette, the queen's excitement was undoubtedly very effective.

However, He Furong was in the first year of chess. I don’t know what the emperor had made a deal with him. Those who had agreed to the report of the book ended up silenced, without even a sound. He originally wanted to use the secrets of the palace as a cover, and by the way, he could also clean up the bitches who charmed the master, concentrate the emperor's spirit here, and then slowly draw on the outside. Unexpectedly, every move of his own chess was accurate, and now it was a complete loss. Wu Zhao, it’s just a little bit of blame that you don’t have the emperor’s life. As a mother, she had tried her best. A trace of loneliness flashed in He’s eyes, and raised her hand and picked up a glass of wine on the table and drank it all.

The news that the queen was seriously ill did not cause much trouble in the capital. The officials of the court knew that the mother of the country was afraid that she would not be too angry. The common people were more concerned about another thing. Since the emperor announced a few days ago that He Xueming, the daughter of He Furong, was a concubine, and rumors spread on the streets and alleys that the He family was about to make a comeback. All the people in the Xiao family's camp were in chaos. Xiao Yunchao ran to the palace three times, but was all blocked by Concubine Yu.

"Old Chen, what do you think?" Feng Wuhen also looked solemn in the Prince Qin County Mansion. "The father first suppressed the He family, and now he promoted them. Could it be that the purpose is to check and balance the way?"

"The emperor's move is really brilliant, and it is probably not an exaggeration to say it is the finishing touch." Chen Lingcheng shook his head, thinking of the queen's serious illness. "The Xiao clan is now too powerful, and the court cannot be without the forces to compete with it. Furthermore, once the queen dies, the forces that originally united the He family will collapse, and the government will be affected by the government. The emperor's choice of He Xueming as his concubine will undoubtedly give the He family another hope. After all, the emperor can barely be considered as the Spring and Autumn Period and may even give a prince of the He family."

Chen Lingcheng's words "It can be considered as the prosperity of Spring and Autumn Period" are really bold. When he goes outside, he can be accused of being disrespectful. Therefore, the people here are all looking like earth-like, and only the person involved still looks indifferent. Feng Wuhen coughed lightly, which broke the awkward atmosphere. "I heard that my mother's mother is very dissatisfied. My uncle has not seen anyone after entering the palace several times. I have been sick for a while and have not entered the palace to pay my respects. This time my uncle sent me a message and asked me to try to see my mother once so that people outside can't think about it."

"Your Highness will go to see the Empress once. The Empress should actually be the clearest. I'm afraid there are other reasons for not seeing this excuse." Shi Jingqi never thought that the emperor would leave behind the older princes and prefer Feng Wuxi, who was underage. After all, the supreme emperor should understand the truth of the country's Changjun. The emperor's mind skills are not something they can fully guess, so they can only rely on Concubine Yu.

"Okay, I'll go to the palace once tomorrow." Feng Wuhen nodded heavily, and there was always a big stone in his heart that was unknown. It seemed that something was threatening him in secret. In the whirlpool of power and profit, he couldn't help but follow the flow, and his nerves had become too keen.

In Lingbo Palace, Concubine Yu looked at Feng Wuhen with satisfaction, knowing that she had not made the wrong moves in the past three years. Her actions of rejecting guests were originally for outsiders to see. Xiao Yunchao was not smart enough. If he could be like He Weitao, he could also be assured to entrust big things, but now he can only rely on Wuhen. After all, he is his son and can speak in front of the emperor.

"Wuhen, do you also think that your mother is jealous?" Concubine Yu looked at her son's cautious sitting posture with a smile. "This time she entered the palace, it should be your uncle who came to ask you for help?"

"My mother was joking, and I naturally knew that you could not only think about the favor of my father like other ladies." Feng Wuhen was embarrassed by his mother's gaze, and then straightened his body. "I just want to know what my mother's plans are going to be in the future? After all, all the ministers who were inclined to the Xiao family looked at you outside, and my uncle had to act carefully. Besides, the father's consort this time was too sudden. Although I can guess the deep meaning of the inner part, I can't fully understand it after all."

"Wuhen, it seems that you have made great progress." Xiao smiled indifferently, and the color of the game just now disappeared without a trace. "I have been following your father for many years, and I know that his nature is suspicious and conceited. Even if the concubine he loves, he will never show mercy if it endangers the country. The queen is his wife. Although she has fought with me for many years, her hands are full of sins. Now that she only breathes in one breath, she is still very sad and a warning from the emperor."

"The power of the Xiao family has grown too fast. Of course, the same is true for you. From an insignificant and sick prince to the current Prince of Qin, your agility and skill have made your father very praiseworthy, but at the same time it has also attracted his deep suspicion. Not to mention the emperor, even this palace is hard to believe that you can reach today by your own strength, so you will have countless guessing eyes on your way in the future. Wuhen, go back and tell your uncle that he will keep a low profile. The emperor is now healthy and the most taboo thing is that his party is too strong and he will mess up the government. If he is smart, don't interfere in many things that should not be taken care of."

...

When Feng Wuhen walked out of Lingbo Palace, his heart was already calm. From the shock when he first heard his mother analyzing the situation to the indifferent later, he had gone through too many such processes, as if his heart was dead. His mother told him so calmly, as if he had long forgotten the grudges of the past, which was something he could not bear. But isn’t he the same hypocritical? In order to save his life and other things, perhaps glory, perhaps status, and more perhaps self-esteem, he made cold decisions countless times, whether to himself or others.

Somehow, he actually came to the residence of Zhenren Mingfang again. How long has it been since he arrived here? Feng Wuhen smiled bitterly, as if it was the strange old man who made him no longer come again. Although it was also considered the side hall of Qinzheng Hall, there were really not many people here, but he knew in his heart that there were probably many masters hidden everywhere here. However, the impulse that came from somewhere made him walk towards the familiar road again.

Still as unstoppable as before, the tranquility made his steps heavier and slower. Finally, he saw the figure, and Ming Fang Zhenren looked at him with bright eyes, as if he had already expected his arrival. "Come in, those people outside will not remember that you have been here." He seemed to know Feng Wuhen's concerns, "If you don't come, maybe I will come to him."

Feng Wuhen opened his eyes wide in surprise. He was extremely unfathomable to the old man's every move. If he really had such supernatural powers, why would he be willing to stay in the palace? Isn't Shanye more suitable for such monks? He didn't dare to express his questions, but just followed Ming Fang Zhenren into the palace silently.

This place is still as simple as before, and it has a unique mood compared to other gorgeous halls in the palace. Feng Wuhen and Wuxin stayed here for a long time. After all, he came into this place for a while. Even though Zhenren Mingfang promised that no one would notice, the too miraculous statement was really unbelievable. "Zhengman, what's wrong with you? The eyes of the palace people are looking here. I don't want to be suspicious of the father because of this little thing." He asked straightforwardly, his face was a little ugly. He even suspected that Zhenren Mingfang had used some tricks to make him come here in a daze.

"Wuhen, don't you want to know Lingyun's luck in the next twenty years?" Ming Fang Zhenren ignored Feng Wuhen's questioning and said calmly, "From the first time I met you, I knew that you were not a person from the palace. I had already seen the star transformation from that time, so I didn't expose it in front of the emperor. You really live up to the foreshadowing of the astrological signs and have grasped almost every opportunity. Although your current status is full of luck, it is more of your own scheming. Didn't I say it wrong?"
