Chapter 22 Collapse
There are also princes who leave the palace and go south every year.

Xiao Changluo was the youngest among the princes, and Concubine Zheng was too reluctant to part with her son, so he was the last one to enter the court.

Among the six departments, Concubine Zheng was staring at the Ministry of War.

Among these princes, only the prince had worked in the Ministry of War and was quite prestigious.

It's just... Later, he was transferred from the Ministry of War for some reason, and let him enter the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry.

Concubine Zheng was worried that her son would join the Ministry of War, make a few contributions and then have some military power in her hands, so that the courtiers would be more on their side.

Zijin is not the same as the prince. Zijin is the child she and His Majesty fell in love with, and His Majesty will naturally give Zijin the best in the world.

She just mentioned in passing that she hoped that Zijin would join the Ministry of War, and His Majesty agreed.

She had already imagined that Zijin would grow rapidly and gradually be able to compete with the prince, and with His Majesty's support, he would completely replace the prince.

Unexpectedly, this first step was only halfway out, and then retracted again.

But Zijin retracted by himself.

While waiting for the emperor to arrive, Concubine Zheng kept getting angry, "Where is Zijin, you didn't send him a message?"

Shi Zhu and Liu Xu looked at each other, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I think His Royal Highness is busy, so he didn't come to see your empress for a while."

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince has always been filial. There must be a reason for this matter. Don't be anxious, your empress. It won't be too late to ask the truth after His Highness the Seventh Prince comes over."

Even after listening to the words of the two grand maids, the anger in Concubine Zheng's heart did not decrease by half.

But soon, she lost her mind to think about it.

Because Shouan brought a few young eunuchs over with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Concubine Zheng looked at the front, back, left, and right, and her face turned pale when she didn't see the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, does Your Majesty have something important to do?"

She just invited His Majesty, it would be fine if His Majesty didn't come because of important court affairs, but if she went to that bitch, wouldn't she be ashamed to see others in the future?

Concubine Zheng prayed in her heart, no matter what, His Majesty should not go to Yufuxuan.

The two have known each other for more than ten years, there is no reason why they can't even compare to a nobleman who has just entered the palace.

Shou An glanced at the dishes on the table, and it was indeed His Majesty's favorite food.

If it had been put in the past, His Majesty would have been pleased with Concubine Zheng's preparations like this, thinking that Concubine Zheng cared about him.

But now... it has turned into guessing the emperor's heart again.

Sure enough, being with a king is like being with a tiger, Shouan thought so.

"Your Majesty is indeed busy with court affairs." Shou An said so.

Concubine Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with her, His Majesty chose Chaoshi. Although she was very dissatisfied, it was not unacceptable.

Immediately afterwards, Shou An said again, "Your Majesty will go to Yongning Palace after finishing his work."

It's not that Shou An deliberately said this in front of Concubine Zheng to provoke her, but it's impossible to hide His Majesty's whereabouts in the harem.

So it's better to say it directly, lest Concubine Zheng will hold grudges against him in the future, thinking that he deliberately concealed it.

"Yongning Palace?" Concubine Zheng suspected that she had heard wrong.

Before Shouan was about to continue speaking, she felt a thump in her heart, guessing whose sign His Majesty might have flipped.

She almost thought of the names of all the concubines in the harem, including Xiunu who hadn't attended bed yet, but she didn't think of the empress.

Shou An responded, "I still have work to do with His Majesty, so I won't delay here any longer."

After speaking, he glanced at Concubine Zheng quietly from the corner of the eye, and then Shou An left with a few young eunuchs.

Not long after he walked out, he heard the sound of cups and plates falling to the ground from the palace behind him.

Thinking about Concubine Zheng's mood, she shouldn't be in a good mood.

Shou An originally planned to go back and remind Concubine Zheng not to speculate too much on the emperor's heart, but it gradually disappeared in these voices.

It is better for him to do more than to do less.

The queen knew that the emperor would love Lin Guiren, but she never thought that the fire would burn on her head.

She frowned and looked at the man sitting there calmly, after thinking about it, she asked the palace servants to serve a table of dishes, and then went into the inner hall by herself.

The emperor drank some wine, and the past years kept appearing in his mind.

These memories moved him so much that he couldn't help but stand up and staggered towards the inner hall.

He reached out, trying to push the door open.

Then... I couldn't push it away.

The cella was locked from the inside, as always.

In an instant, all the very good memories in the emperor's mind were reduced to ashes, he became more and more annoyed, and left on the spot.

Shou An was frightened half to death, and was racking his brains on how to coax the emperor, at least not to get angry at their servants who were doing things for no reason, when the emperor turned a corner and walked towards Yufuxuan.

Shou An let out an "ouch" from behind, and immediately waved his hands, signaling everyone to stay outside and let the emperor go in alone.

In the morning of the next day, the emperor went to Yongning Palace first, and something happened that he came out and turned to Yufuxuan on the way, and rumors spread in the harem.

Although everyone thought it was strange that the emperor did not go to Yongning Palace on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, they were more concerned about Lin Guiren from Yufuxuan than this.

After all, before this, Concubine Zheng sent someone to invite His Majesty to come over. It's fine if His Majesty didn't go, and went to the Queen's Yongning Palace.

After going to the Queen's Yongning Palace, he didn't turn a corner to Fuyinglou, but went to visit Guiren Lin.

This is worth pondering, is Lin Guiren more important than Concubine Zheng in His Majesty's heart?
While everyone kept muttering in their hearts, they couldn't help but send someone to Fuying Tower to inquire about the news.

Concubine Zheng threw all the porcelain that she could see in front of her eyes, then dressed up very gorgeously, and angrily led people to Fuying Tower.

She was also unlucky, the emperor should have dealt with political affairs at this time, but he was unhappy, so he stayed in Yufuxuan Beauty Township.

Talking to Lin Guiren from time to time, seeing her blushing cheeks and bowing her head, she couldn't help laughing happily.

The people at the door couldn't stop her, and Concubine Zheng rushed in.

Then he saw Lin Guiren sitting on the emperor's lap, shyly putting his hands on the man's shoulders.

Concubine Zheng was stunned, and anger burst out from the bottom of her heart, bit by bit into a sea of ​​flames.

"Get out!" The emperor frowned, very mercilessly, while saying this, he didn't think about letting go of the woman in his arms.

Seeing this, Guiren Lin hurriedly came down to greet Concubine Zheng.

Concubine Zheng was furious, and there was a faint fear of the unknown in this anger.

In the past ten years, she has never seen His Majesty doting on a woman so much.

Even she was nothing more than that.

Concubine Zheng looked at the man's cold gaze, she didn't dare to stay longer for fear that something unpredictable would happen again, so she gritted her teeth and said, "This concubine just wanted to see His Majesty, so I was reckless and didn't let anyone report it, please forgive me."
