Chapter 301 Follow-up Questions
Thinking of this, Zhou Chengyong opened the last edict left by the late emperor with some resentment this week, and he was completely stunned when he opened it.

This is a posthumous decree, written by the first emperor, every word is very clear.

It turned out that this was what he was looking for all these years. It turned out that when his father was going to abolish him as the crown prince and choose another prince, his father had already left such a will, a will to pass the throne to him. Purpose.

So, what is the reason for his so many years of resentment, so many years of entanglement, so many years of pain?

And Rong Ruo, about Rong Ruo, what did he do back then, to treat a beloved woman who was pregnant with his child so cruelly.

Not only misunderstood her, but also chilled her heart because of it, vented her anger on the Bai family, fabricated unwarranted charges and destroyed the Bai family together with Cao Xiangye, forcing Rong Ruo to die because of guilt. What the hell did he do!

At this time, Zhou Chengyong was full of remorse, and now he was completely shocked by the truth of the incident back then, and he was in great pain because of it.

It is said that at this moment, the emperor Zhou Chengyong revealed the truth 20 years ago because of Master Wu, and he is staying alone in the imperial study room mourning all the past.

And over there, Xiao Shunzi, the chief eunuch who took his order, was going to the small warehouse to pick up a lot of supplements, such as ginseng antler and ganoderma donkey-hide gelatin.

Anyway, he saw that all the supplements that could supplement his body were pulled out, and then ordered a few young eunuchs to come in and move these supplements out, and then took them to the imperial concubine's bedroom.

At this moment, the imperial concubine and the second prince Zhou Hongxian are happy, celebrating the misfortune of Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye, and the safety of her elder brother Cao Xiangye, but she never expected that at this time, the chief eunuch next to the emperor At that time, she brought a few young eunuchs over with solemn expressions. The trays in their hands contained various supplements, and they were placed in front of her one by one.After the supplements were properly placed, the chief eunuch and the eunuchs behind him gave big gifts to the imperial concubine and the second prince, Zhou Hongxian.

"The slaves pay respects to the imperial concubine and the second prince."

The imperial concubine and the second prince saw that Xiao Shunzi, the chief eunuch who was a celebrity by the emperor's side, came here in person, and delivered such a bunch of supplements for the emperor, and they both thought that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the news that Xiao Shunzi, the chief eunuch, delivered to the two of them suddenly shocked the expressions of the two of them. The imperial concubine was dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the second prince was beside him and helped the imperial concubine. It was only with one stroke that she did not lose her bearing in front of the maids and eunuchs.

At this moment, she naturally pretended to be calm, stared at Xiao Shunzi resentfully and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"

"Returning to your mother, the matter is still under investigation, and the real culprit has not been found yet, so it is impossible to determine who did it." Xiao Shunzi, the chief eunuch, replied respectfully.

"Also, the emperor already knew about this matter, so he sent his servants to tell the empress to take care of her body, don't be too sad, and cry to the bone, then the emperor will feel sorry for the empress."

After Xiao Shunzi finished speaking, the noble concubine endured her grief and choked up, saying: "Eunuch, I know, you thank the emperor for your kindness on my behalf, I am very grateful. And , I will make good use of the tonics sent to me by the emperor, please also tell the emperor. In addition, if there is nothing else at this time, please let me stay and be quiet for a while. Gong is a little tired, I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."

The imperial concubine still has such a calm attitude at this moment, which makes Xiao Shunzi, the chief eunuch, a little impressed.

He also knew that it was not appropriate to disturb the imperial concubine and the second prince at this time, so he nodded, winked at the little eunuchs around him, and led them out of the imperial concubine's bedroom with a bow.

And when Xiao Shunzi left like this, the originally slender and weak imperial concubine's expression suddenly became ferocious.

"Prince, it's inconvenient for my concubine to go out to investigate this matter. You go and find out what happened to Xiangye's mansion for my concubine. I need to know exactly who killed my Cao family."

"Mother Concubine, this matter does not need to be ordered by Mother Concubine, and the Emperor will naturally investigate the matter. It's just that the Emperor is worried about Mother Concubine's health at the moment, so don't really toss about things about the uncle's family." own bones."

His Royal Highness Zhou Hongxian, the Second Prince, now knows that more than half of his support has been cut off, and his anger outweighs his pain.

He was indeed a little sad that his uncle's family had suffered, but these were insignificant things compared to the highest position.Now that someone has weakened his power in this way, he doubts whether it is a brother in the palace who did it. Therefore, he has to investigate who is behind the scenes, especially Zhou Hongyu, the younger brother who has been so proud recently. , he has recently been in court, but he has been targeting him a lot.

Therefore, at this time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was clearly guessing in the direction of conspiracy theories. He thought he had to go back to the mansion quickly, and asked those eyeliners who had been placed in each prince's mansion to see if he had been negligent recently. So much so that these brothers don't take him seriously.

Zhou Hongxian was thinking sinisterly at this moment, he thought, even if his uncle's family's power is gone at this time, the secret power of his mother and concubine for more than 20 years and the power he himself has drawn over the years together, will still be the same. Those brothers are not allowed to belittle him as the second prince at will, and the people in the court cannot allow those brothers to gloat and step on him at this time, hmph——

Zhou Hongxian was obviously in a hurry to leave the harem at this time, and rushed back to the mansion to arrange other matters, so he really didn't have much time to comfort his mother and concubine.

And knowing a son is like a mother, does the imperial concubine right now know what this son is thinking?So she didn't keep him for a while longer, but simply opened her mouth to let him go back to the house.

"Prince, don't worry, before the murderer of the Cao family is caught, the mother and concubine will never fall easily. Besides, there are many people in the harem who are waiting to see what happened to your uncle. It's a joke between us mother and son, so mother concubine will not let something happen to me at this time. But you, the business is important, hurry up and find out about your uncle for mother concubine, mother concubine is waiting for your news in the palace, you Let's go back in a while, the concubine is tired and wants to be alone for a while."

As soon as the imperial concubine said this, Zhou Hongxian nodded eagerly.

"Alright, it's better for the concubine mother to rest now, the emperor will not disturb the concubine mother here. In addition, regarding the murder of the uncle, please rest assured the concubine mother, the emperor will definitely investigate and find out the truth. The emperor said goodbye. "

As soon as the words fell, the second prince Zhou Hongxian turned around and strode away from the imperial concubine's bedroom.

Seeing the back of Zhou Hongxian walking away quickly, the imperial concubine's expression darkened silently.

This son, sometimes looks a little too cold, and I don't know if she is in trouble in the future, will the emperor be the same as this one, only thinking about his own interests?
As soon as the noble concubine thought of this, she didn't dare to think about it anymore. As smart as she is, it is better to pretend to be confused about some things to live a better life. Otherwise, if everything is too transparent, how can she survive in this complicated and dangerous harem survive?

Rarely confused, isn't it?

Just like the large pile of tonics that the emperor sent over at this time, they were meant to comfort her on the surface to tell her not to be sad, but how could she not understand in her heart that the emperor had long regarded her brother as a thorn in the eye, if there was If the opportunity arises, the emperor himself will make a move, not to mention that now that someone is helping him to make a move, he may not know how happy he is at this time.

Thinking of this, the son is like this, and the husband is like this, the bitter taste in the corner of the imperial concubine's mouth became more and more intense.

However, if she wants to live, if she wants to stand firm in this harem and continue to live, she can't say anything. Lie to yourself and go on living.

But the imperial concubine at this time probably doesn't know that the emperor is suffering ten times, a hundred times or even a thousand times more than her at the moment. She may not know that for men, even the emperor who is ninety-five years old, some people, some Since the matter is hidden in the heart, since it has become a knot, it has become a doom.

Then, that person, that matter will always be hidden in his heart. Once there is a chance to erupt, then the deepest pain will stab that person bloody. Enough to describe the pain of that person.

Of course, there are sad people in this palace, so naturally there are also happy people.

This Prime Minister Cao's family was completely wiped out, just as the imperial concubine had expected, no one in the palace came to comfort him at this time, and it was too much to count.

Those people, looking at the destruction of the Cao family as if it was not enough to vent their hatred, in the face of such a tragic disaster, one by one secretly added a fire and oil, and spread the news of the death of Prime Minister Cao. Yes, most of the rumors are aimed at Prime Minister Cao, and it is said that Prime Minister Cao must have done too many wicked things to provoke such revenge. The common people are still running around telling each other, and everyone celebrates quietly He said, yelling at Cao Xiangye's family that they got their retribution, and they deserved what they did.

Such rumors quickly spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and hundreds to thousands, and they spread quickly. The courageous people even made a hero statue for the person who destroyed the Cao family. I prayed for three meals a day, thanking this unknown hero for destroying the Cao family that harmed the people.
