Except for going to greet the queen, the other palace ladies were reluctant to move around, so they didn't dare to say anything more.

After greeting him a few words, he carefully withdrew from the dormitory.

When the little palace maid had already left, the woman took out a packet of powder from her purse and opened it, and then greedily took a puff on the tip of her nose.

However, thinking that the emperor is now terminally ill, he is still struggling at this time, whether to put this spice into the emperor's incense burner.

At most, as long as he smells it for another year and a half, then it will be completely impossible for this emperor to live again.

But what she didn't expect was that because of Duan Ling's orders, people had already been placed in various palaces in the harem to watch in secret.

Although this woman said that she had some scheming, she didn't know martial arts in the end, so she couldn't detect the light cat-like footsteps of the secret guard.

When he was playing the piano, and even when he took out his purse, his every move fell into the eyes of the dark guard.

As for the woman's identity, it had been thoroughly investigated, and then she went back to report to Duan Lingyu.

"Your Royal Highness, it has been found out, this woman's father is a minor local official, who was selected in the previous few years, and then became a palace maid in the palace, but because the family has some property, so after her father sent some silver tickets to the selected father-in-law, he arranged to be on an errand in the lotus pond, mainly idle, and no one can meet her."

"It's already been arranged?" When Duan Ling heard the news, it was absolutely impossible to say that he was not shocked at all.

After all, once this woman appeared in the palace, it had already proved that someone was secretly arranging behind her.

Besides, the spice came from the distant country of Dashi, and there was no other way to send it by sea.

And this spice, it is said that the father has been smelling it for nearly a month.

Presumably, as early as a month ago, some people began to understand this secret net.

In other words, other countries have already planned it.

"Your Highness, can you ask someone from the school to follow her in secret to see if there are other people meeting in private?"

When his subordinates asked, Duan Ling had already nodded for the first time.

"Let people follow her carefully in secret, and if there is anything wrong with the situation, come and report it in time."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

Waiting until he watched his subordinates leave, Duan Ling stayed in the mansion and sat for a long time.

To say that he didn't doubt it at all was impossible.

After all, now that Da Chu is developing and growing step by step, it is inevitable that it will attract the jealousy of other countries.

However, since this woman can investigate her family background, she must have been an honest businessman before this.

Why, there is such a deal with Dashiguo?

Although Concubine Yue said that she came and went in a hurry, she didn't stay long in the prince's mansion before she left first.

However, the queen and Concubine Yue had a lot of trouble before, and they also had a lot of thoughts about the people who came and went in the palace.

Therefore, after learning that Concubine Yue had led people to the prince's mansion in person, she called people over in a blink of an eye.

Concubine Yue is neither humble nor arrogant at this time, and she doesn't take the queen in her eyes at all.

"If Concubine Yue wants to go out, then should she also tell this palace, it's not that the waist card can't be given to you."

Concubine Yue glanced at the aggressive queen above, and then lowered her head.

"The concubine just went out to see the prince and the princess, and the prince has been in the prince's mansion and can't come out, so he is a little worried."

As soon as Concubine Yue said this, the queen grabbed her handle.

"Concubine Yue, don't forget, Your Majesty gave an order before, and now the prince can't leave the prince's mansion for half a step."

"Just because the concubine knows this, so she asked to see the prince in person, is it possible that between this mother and son, there is no chance to meet?"

Although Concubine Yue looked gentle and weak, she was unwilling to back down even half a step when facing the queen.

Of course, she knew that what happened to Ling Er at that time was that someone was secretly making trouble.

Otherwise, according to Ling Er's temper, it would be impossible to do such a thing.

Even who is behind it, the queen is the first person to be suspected.

As the crown prince, Ling Er's current position is quite stable.

If something like that hadn't happened last time, in a few years, Ling Er would be the rightful candidate for the next Great Chu Emperor.

Who is so unable to sit still, the queen, the thirteen princes, and the king of Xiaoyao, and even other princes who are not very trusted in the capital for the time being, are all suspicious candidates.

Concubine Yue only has such a son, so naturally all her hopes are placed on Duan Ling.

Even if you don't become an emperor one day and be an idle prince, as a mother, you have to protect your children.

"Concubine Yue has always been sharp-toothed, and this palace is naturally not your opponent."

The queen sneered above: "But now Your Majesty is still sick, I wonder if Concubine Yue has ever thought of being by Your Majesty's side and taking care of her closely?" ”

"Isn't the queen mother already by Your Majesty's side? Presumably, there is no need for concubines and others to make trouble on the side, right? ”

Concubine Yue knew in her heart that the queen just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show everyone else how virtuous and virtuous she was, and take good care of the emperor.

However, most people know it in their hearts.

The emperor is already the only life-saving straw in the empress's heart.

Once waiting for the emperor to wake up and find that the queen is taking care of him meticulously, then it is naturally better for the queen to take care of the relationship between husband and wife for many years.

However, with a body like the queen, it is impossible to have a son and a half daughter after all.

After all, the age is also here, but if the emperor's conscience finds out, it is entirely possible for a prince whose mother's concubine family is not very strong to be raised by the queen.

"Concubine Yue said ...... this"

The queen was inexplicably choked by Concubine Yue, and she was stunned for a while, and she didn't know what to say.

Concubine Yue held the hand of the palace maid beside her and stood up: "The hour is almost up, the concubine should return to the palace to take medicine, after all, the concubine's health is indeed not good." ”

Concubine Yue had already retreated at this time, and the queen naturally couldn't help her.

After all, before this, Concubine Yue's body was indeed deteriorating.

Even the emperor only sat in the palace of Concubine Yue for a while, accompanied her to have some dinner, and rarely summoned Concubine Yue to sleep.
