C9

After Empress Dowager Zhou knew that he had been schemed against, he had already figured out what the best course of action was. Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhou immediately went to look for Qing Fang.

The result was obvious. Not only was it unsatisfactory. Furthermore, most of the information that Qing Fang obtained after his transformation three years ago was fake. On the other side, the Palace Bureau in charge of the harem did not notice this.

"What? The Emperor also feels that the Wailing Home meddling in the harem is a mistake." Empress Dowager Zhou was a good punishment, so the emperor naturally came to save the situation when he received the news.

"What? Imperial Mother didn't do anything wrong." Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhou's face was ugly, Zhu Jianshen wanted to stop his movements.

Zhu Jianshen did not dare say anything, and could only watch as Empress Dowager Zhou got angry at Palace Bureau. The Palace Bureau s that were promoted up to the level of Palace Shang naturally suffered at the first moment.

"One cannot seek advice in his position, but his duty. Since that's the case, why does Wailing Home need you to take control of the Palace Bureau? " After cursing, Empress Dowager Zhou ordered for the people to be dragged down, demoted to a servant in charge of the Treasure House. He had been reduced from a dignified fourth rank palace to a lowly worker all of a sudden.

It could be said that falling from heaven to earth was not an exaggeration, and was even more serious.

"I got it, Royal Grandmother is using this method to subdue the Six Paths of Shang Gong!" Zhu Youtang suddenly realised, the Six Paths of the Palace should be the same as the Six Paths of the previous dynasty, they should belong to the Queen of the Back Palace.

However, after he crippled the Wu Clan, with the excuse that the Consort Wan was well versed in the layout of Shang Gong, Zhu Jianshen handed over the authority of controlling the six tribes to the Wan. Back then, when Empress Dowager Zhou was determined to make things difficult for the Empress Dowager, he did not place this Palace Bureau in his eyes either.

When the Empress Dowager Yi died, this Palace Bureau was already filled with people. Empress Dowager Zhou didn't know how he should act. After waiting for so many years, he finally had a chance.

"This kid is worth teaching."

The Former Empress Wu explained this matter to Zhu Youtang in detail, bit by bit. "Between the laws of the Great Clarity Palace and cleaning up the Consort Wan, the empress dowager can only choose one. It could also be said that the empress dowager no longer has any other choice. "

After the Consort Wan made up a lie for Qing Fang, the only thing that the Empress Dowager Zhou could choose was the Great Law.

Empress Dowager Zhou could not find Qing Fang's family members, so it could be said that Empress Dowager Zhou had entered the game early in the morning. Using Qing Fang's family as a threat, the Consort Wan was naturally able to make Qing Fang listen to his words. Moreover, Qing Fang had a relationship with the Consort Wan before.

During Qing Fang's most difficult time, when Qing Fang's family members asked for silver coins to treat Qing Fang's brother's illness, the money was given by Wan Zhener. This kind of kindness, not to mention the kindness that the Consort Wan had requested for him not to accompany Qing Fang in death, before he was buried, had also been added with the fact that the Consort Wan had requested for him to not die with Qing Fang.

"So this is the most sensible plan, to use kindness to win over people's hearts. Now, even if Qing Fang died for the Consort Wan, he would die willingly with all his heart. So much so that Qing Fang's family would even think that Qing Fang made a mistake. But, the Consort Wan saved his family's lives. "

"He's not that stupid, but he reacted so quickly." The Former Empress Wu said, and handed over the rose cake Cai Xiang had brought on the table to Zhu Youtang, "Try out the new pastries Cai Xiang has made, and see if you like them."

It was getting more and more common for Master and disciple to live in peace. Zhu Youtang studied diligently beside Former Empress Wu, if there were things he did not understand, he would ask them. Ji Yune's life in the West Palace was finally going to be easier.

The Wan had single-handedly set Qing Fang up to break the laws of the Great Clarity Palace, forcing him to choose to execute Qing Fang in order to protect the law. Just one move was enough to lure the tiger out of its lair and cover the sky and cross the sea, and it had saved Qing Fang's family, allowing him to willingly die for the Consort Wan.

In terms of intelligence, there were very few people who could become the Consort Wan's opponent. Empress Dowager Zhou could not choose to execute Qing Fang and would still be able to find Qing Fang's family to vent his hatred.

And now that Qing Fang was dead, the person who could testify against Consort Wan was dead. The way to go, her death, was originally not part of Zhang Min's plan. The cup of wine that Zhang Min sent to the prison was simply wine. In the end, this simple cup of wine had cost him her life.

With one move, even if he died without any proof, the Empress Dowager Zhou could not do anything to him.

The Consort Wan had personally arranged for people to execute the people they knew. Zhang Min had even become suspicious because he had been to the prison. Fortunately, He Da found evidence in the end to prove that Zhang Min was innocent. The food on the table had been drugged.

However, the food box found was not part of the prison. It was a dead end. The clue ended just like that, and only Qing Fang could prove that the Consort Wan had arranged for someone to kill the entire Prince Tzu.

For this plan, no one knew how long the Consort Wan had been scheming. Even if Empress Dowager Zhou was unwilling, it was still a good thing for him to be able to find out that there was a mistake in Palace Bureau and take his back.

Without the Palace Bureau, the Consort Wan would lose a lot of money. At the same time, because everything originated from the creation of the Palace Bureau. So, Empress Dowager Zhou being in charge of Palace Bureau was unfavorable for Palace Bureau, so he confined Consort Wan for three months and received a penalty of three years.

This could be considered a small victory!

However, there were plenty of people in the harem who were dissatisfied with this result. For example, Prince Tzu's birth mother, or a Shao Chen Fei with a prince. Even the Empress Dowager Zhou himself, as well as the Empress Wang who never asked about the affairs of the Emperor.

"Empress Chen Fei, why are you here again? If Consort Wan knew, it would not be good. " Zhu Youtang did not expect that this time, not only did the Shao Chen Fei come herself, she even brought her little brother here.

The crown prince of the imperial harem was young, while the princess had never had one. Not to mention that Zhu Youtang lived in the West Palace, so children rarely saw him. Even if there were, they were only twelve or thirteen years old servants. Although these were young adults, they were still not considered children.

Ever since he found out about Zhu Youtang's existence, the Imperial Consort Xian had arranged for a servant to search for him.

After summing up all the news, Imperial Consort Xian found out about Zhu Youtang's life. At least from the time he was born until now, he had eaten a hundred meals and worn a hundred clothes.

Zhu Youtang's life, including his clothes and food, all depended on what kind of life the Former Empress Wu could lead. As for Ji Yune, the mother, this was because the Consort Wan had personally ordered the placement of Ji Yune in the West Palace. Therefore, even Ji Yune herself was unable to save himself.

Not only that, from the words of the servants who were neutral within the West Palace, Imperial Consort Xian clearly knew that Zhu Youtang's days were really not easy. Although Zhang Min was there, the Consort Wan would still send servants to search the West Palace from time to time.

"Empress, what is the meaning of this?" Why did you send all these things to the West Palace? If the Consort Wan knew, I'm afraid the Empress wouldn't be able to explain it to us in front of His Majesty. "

The servant who was sent to get an abortion back then was someone from Empress Dowager Zhou, so he had lied in front of him. The Consort Wan herself did not believe what the servant said, so Zhu Youtang spent his days hiding.

"What's there to be afraid of? Just say that it is for the West Palace's descendant. Could it be that Consort Wan thinks that there's something these things can do? " If Imperial Consort Xian wanted to find Shao Chen Fei to express her goodwill, at least a prince who had come out of the Cold Palace would benefit the entire Emperor of the Crown's harem in the future.

As the personal servant of the Imperial Consort Xian, she did not think this way. Master, at least you have a good relationship with the Shao Chen Fei, shouldn't we inform the Queen of Shao Chen Fei as well? "

"You mean to say that we should at least probe the intentions of the Chen Fei? Was it necessary!? After all, the older prince was now Zhu Youtang, so even though the third prince had a known status as a prince, he was still relatively respected. However, that is not what the royal family rules say. "

Seeing that the Imperial Consort Xian had an intention to discuss with him, sshe originally thought that the Imperial Consort Xian had understood her meaning. However, as the servant of the Imperial Consort Xian, he knew that her master did not understand what she meant.

"Aunt He, do you think that Consort Xian can understand what Wailing Home means? If you do not want Consort Xian to be like before, things will only get worse. " Empress Dowager Zhou was not sure if Imperial Consort Xian was able to understand what she meant.

After all, the Imperial Consort Xian was not as smart as him, so she was naturally not as reasonable as the Empress Wang. If the Imperial Consort Xian had one of the two points above, the position of Empress would not belong to the Wang clan in the past.

"This servant thinks that the Empress can actually understand it. After all, she was the one who reaped the rewards. If the Consort Xian's Empress is wise and foolish, that's also possible. "

Empress Dowager Zhou knew that Former Empress Wu had done everything he could to protect Zhu Youtang, even though Zhu Youtang was his eldest son. After the death of the Prince Tzu, the only person who could inherit the throne was Zhu Youtang.

However, if Zhu Youtang ended up like the Prince Tzu, then all of the Empress Dowager Zhou's chips and calculations were for naught. In order to maximize its benefits, the Empress Dowager Zhou could not place all of its eggs into one basket.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhou wanted Imperial Consort Xian to probe out Chen Fei's intentions. Did the Chen Fei intend to have her son, Zhu Youyuan, become the champion? After all, compared to Ji Yune, who was still a subject for punishment, the status of the Chen Fei was much higher.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, it's time for you to be happy. This Herba Euphorbiae is just coaxing you to be happy!" All along, in order to ease the conflict between Empress Dowager Zhou and himself, Zhu Jianshen had always tried his best to calm down his mother's unhappy mood.

With regards to his own son being able to coax him like this, Empress Dowager Zhou was also suitable. However, at the same time that he felt that his son could be considered to be not bad, Empress Dowager Zhou actually disliked him even more. No mother wants her son to please her because of her daughter-in-law.

Zhu Jianshen didn't know what he had done, and the only thing he could do was push his mother's heart even further.

"Mom, where are we going!" Zhu Youtang rubbed his sleepy eyes. Zhu Youtang wanted to know where Ji Yune was going to take him.

"There's a leak in our house. It's raining outside. Therefore, Mother thought that we might as well go to your Master's side and take shelter from the rain. "

Ji Yune replied as she searched through Zhu Youtang's clothes. Zhu Youtang was used to doing this from time to time. On the other hand, Ji Yune had gotten used to organizing her belongings in the black.

"Mom doesn't want to torment you like this either, but your life was saved by your teacher." Your body has always been weaker since you were young. If you suffer from the cold, then your teacher will be the one to suffer. "

As he spoke, Ji Yune changed his tone. In the beginning, he had always felt a sense of helplessness in his heart, but now, it wasn't like this. Ji Yune had always been displaying his best side in front of Zhu Youtang. Ji Yune hoped that he wouldn't have to worry about all these.

"Madam, it has been taken care of." Although Ji Yune was punished in West Palace, Empress Dowager Zhou was still fine. Because of this, Zhu Youtang had a servant following by his side.

His name was Mei Qing, Empress Dowager Zhou had planted himself into Zhu Youtang's body to serve him. However, this person was secretly serving the Consort Wan, so it could be said that Mei Qing's master was the Wan.

As for the fact that Empress Dowager Zhou and Consort Wan had placed slaves by Zhu Youtang's side, all of these reasons were because they had their own schemes for Zhu Youtang.
