Chapter 788(2/2)
"Then shouldn't we just let him preside over the funeral of the Supreme Emperor?"
Concubine Wu was shaking her legs irritably, and her small white embroidered shoes were drawing circles back and forth. This dynasty had strictly prohibited foot binding since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but her natural feet were still worthy of the title of Golden Lotus.
Seeing that Jiao Shun didn't reply, she further pointed out what she was worried about: "Both parties are attending funerals in the palace, and it is inevitable for them to socialize with each other. What should the traitor king do if he takes the opportunity to attack the prince?"
This has to be guarded against.
Jiao Shun thought for a while and suggested: "If the empress is worried and is afraid that someone in the palace will be bewitched and bribed by her, she might as well temporarily ask a few alert and trustworthy officials to be involved in the palace guard system and be responsible for taking care of the prince's diet throughout the process."
"Scroll for official women?"
Concubine Wu frowned slightly: "Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
"This... idea came from me, and I should avoid it."
"What are you trying to avoid?"
Concubine Wu waved her hands and said impatiently: "Concubine Rong is still protecting him and refusing to admit it. It shows that this traitorous king has some tricks. Now besides you, who else can I and the queen sister trust?"
When she reached this point, Jiao Shun naturally would not be pretentious and immediately named two people: "The minister then boldly recommended two candidates. One of them is the Princess of Nan'an. The two princes have always been at odds with each other. If it is properly disclosed,
Regarding King Zhongshun's plot against King Nan'an, it is expected that the princess will do her best."
Concubine Wu nodded after hearing this: "I have met Princess Nan'an before, and she is indeed a smart woman - where are these two?"
"The second candidate is Jia Tanchun, the third young lady of Rongguo Mansion..."
"Rongguo Mansion?"
Before Jiao Shun could finish speaking, Concubine Wu shook her head: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Let's not talk about the matter of Concubine Xiande. Jia Baoyu was dismissed from office and will never be used again. So if the third lady holds a grudge because of this,
Wouldn’t it be playing into the hands of that traitorous king?”
"The empress is graceful."
Jiao Shun said hurriedly: "The third young lady has actually made a marriage contract with me, and will soon marry me as a bride and groom, so as to inherit the incense of my family."
Concubine Wu knew something about his surname change, so she was not surprised by the merger. However, she was not very satisfied with the candidate. She said angrily: "Didn't I say that you and the Jia family should be married?"
Keep your distance? Do you just ignore my words and ignore them?!"
"Your Majesty, make atonement!"
Jiao Shun hurriedly knelt down and said: "I don't dare to lie to you, the truth is that I already had a relationship with the third lady last year. It's really a bit unreasonable to regret it now..."
"Hmm~"
Concubine Wu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, thinking that apart from the two articles she had memorized by heart, Jiao Shun indeed had other romantic affairs!
Thinking of this, she leaned forward subconsciously, almost wanting Jiao Shun to 'tell the truth', but the time and place were completely inappropriate, so she held it back and nodded: "In that case, she can be counted as one."
Then he sighed: "Even so, there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If we can get rid of this traitor in advance..."
As she said that, she looked at Jiao Shun with burning eyes, obviously hoping that Jiao Shun would be bolder.
If she could show the courage of the prince's biological mother and directly order Jiao Shun to do it, Jiao Shun would probably not refuse, but she didn't have the courage herself. She just hoped that Jiao Shun would take the initiative to take over the responsibility, and Jiao Shun would naturally
Thanks for not being sensitive.
After waiting for a long time but no response from Jiao Shun, Concubine Wu looked weak and said angrily: "That's it, that's all, go and do your business."
Jiao Shun complied, took a few steps back and was about to turn around to leave, when Huyou heard her shout: "Come back."
