Chapter 546: The Emperor and the Empress - Chu Shen Fanwai (1)

I am not the son of the Queen Mother, but the son of my father and a concubine from a humble background.

My mother died when he was very young.

In fact, I know very well that the mother concubine did not die accidentally, but died in the battle of the harem.

My father and the emperor did not have many heirs, and most of them died young.

I have escaped disaster after disaster by the eyes of my heart.

My mother told me when I was very young that you would be nothing, humble to the dust, and so naturally no one would notice you.

Or, you're so strong that others can't touch you.

Only in this way can you protect yourself.

Otherwise, just like her, she has been favored but has no ability to protect herself, and in the end she may not even be able to keep her own children.

She looked at Chu Shen with regret on her face when she said this, and I knew that she was afraid that one day she would not be able to protect me.

And it turns out that this is indeed the case.

My mother, concubine, died in the harem rebellion.

It's just because her father has favored her a few times.

After my mother's death, I was raised under the name of the queen.

I don't know if the queen can't have children, or her father doesn't let her conceive an heir, all this time, the queen has not come out.

And I became her only son.

After I passed under her name, she was very kind to me and helped me everywhere.

On the face of it, it is.

But she never let Taifu teach me anything, nor did she let me practice martial arts, and always let me play when I was doing homework.

I know she wants me to be a wreck.

But she kept praising me in front of my father.

As a child, I didn't know what she really wanted to do.

Later, when I grew up, I understood.

She wanted me to ascend the throne.

But want me to be a waste emperor.

In this way, I will be her puppet and obey her.

And, one more thing I discovered.

Before she entered the palace, she had an affair with another man.

I have seen the man disguise himself as a eunuch and enter the palace to serve by her side, and the two of them are doing things that are not going to happen.

I secretly went to check, and that man was the man she had before she entered the palace.

There was a lot of dirt going on in the harem, but this was the dirtiest one I've ever seen.

Later, there was a new champion in the court, which was appreciated by my father.

The queen is also particularly concerned about the situation of this new champion, and always says good things about this person in front of my father.

Soon after, this new champion became a big celebrity in front of my father, but in just a few years, he was promoted several times in a row and became the youngest second-rank minister in the dynasty.

The queen was very happy, and her attitude towards me became more and more perfunctory, and she was not as attentive as before.

I relied on some tricks to sell stupidity in front of the queen and emphasize in front of my father, and I succeeded in defeating my other brothers and sisters, and made me the only candidate for my father to be the crown prince.

I always remember what my mother said.

If you want to have the ability to protect yourself, you must become strong and become a powerful person with a voice.

So, I can only stand higher to be safer.

But it was a tough process because I couldn't trust anyone around me.

They are either whose eyeliner they are, or who sent them to make fine works.

Everyone, everyone in the palace wore a mask of disguise, and no one was real.

Except for my dead mother, no one was genuinely good to me.

After my father's death, Qin Wenye, the big celebrity who was reused by my father, became the regent and the minister.

This man has a lot of ambition in his eyes, so I'm always on guard against him.

After I ascended the throne, I found that the Queen Mother and the regent also had a close relationship.

I'm just beginning to suspect that there is a great relationship between them.

I secretly replaced the people around the Queen Mother with mine, and sent a killer to catch her concubine and interrogate her strictly.

only then did they ask about their relationship with Qin Wenye.

When I learned about their relationship, I had the killer kill the man.

And the Queen Mother didn't know it, she was still under my surveillance.

She didn't know that the people around her had already been replaced.

I know her every move.

Qin Wenye's influence in the court is getting bigger and bigger, and even the prime minister has become his henchman.

The imperial court has even become his hall of words sometimes, if it weren't for me arranging some people in advance to check and balance Qin Wenye, I am afraid that the court would have a place for me, the emperor.

I began to secretly arrange, waiting for the day when these people who coveted my throne and my Chu family were wiped out.

Until the woman entered the palace.

When I first met Ye Suer, I actually thought she was a little familiar.

Maybe it's because she and Ye Ling'er are a little similar.

I am very impressed with Ye Ling'er.

I met Ye Ling'er at the palace banquet a few years ago, and I remembered this girl in my heart at that time.

And I also thought that the person who entered the palace should be Ye Ling'er.

I was a little happy.

Although I always feel that this kind of joy comes inexplicably, I don't know why I miss Ye Ling'er.

But I know that it was Ye Ling'er who was waiting for me to enter the palace.

Until that day the palace feast.

Only then did he know that the person who entered the palace was Ye Su'er.

The Prime Minister's Mansion reported that it was only the Prime Minister's daughter, and did not say who it was.

Ye Su'er, I know, is a daughter brought home by the prime minister five years ago.

I just didn't pay much attention to it.

But from the first time I saw her, an inexplicable sense of familiarity made my soul feel as if it had been traumatized.

I couldn't take my eyes off her.

Her dancing was so captivating that everyone present couldn't help but be attracted to her.

And Qin Wenye's eyes when he looked at her that day disgusted me the most.

The Queen Mother, who has always rarely said much about my concubine, also praised her, including Qin Wenye's praise for her, which made me realize.

Ye Suer is a chess piece.

It's a pawn they put next to me.

Therefore, I deliberately sealed her as a beauty.

After she entered the palace, I deliberately snubbed her.

Because I want to see what happens to her if I snub her.

But she didn't do anything, just eat, drink, sleep or practice every day.

But I couldn't help but want to see her.

I don't know why, I just wanted to see her.

I went to spend the night in her palace, and I didn't plan to ...... But looking at her, she couldn't hold back.

She couldn't conceive my baby, so I made her drink the soup afterwards.

I know that she has a lot of relationship with Qin Wenye, and she is the eyeliner placed next to me.

I will not be able to conceive such a person as my child.

But when I heard them say that she drank it directly, I was still a little unhappy.

It's also a little distressing.

Why wouldn't she resist?

I kind of hate that iron doesn't make steel.

But she was still promoted to the position of concubine.

As the Emperor, I had to get rid of her, so I started killing her.

But she's smarter than I thought, and the city is deeper.

She seems to be a natural strategist, and she is simply alive in the harem.

None of the useless women in the harem could get any benefits from her.

Even the Queen Mother is helping her.

I'm starting to care more and more about her.

When she didn't know it, I secretly watched her many times.

Ye Ling'er also came to her every once in a while, and sometimes bumped into me.

I'm a little annoyed with her.

What did she come to her for?

I'm starting to get more and more dislike for Ye Ling'er.

Ye Su'er has also been refusing to share a room with me, is she guarding Qin Wenye like a jade?

The thought of this makes me even more annoyed.

She lurked beside me as a presence, and even thought about other men.

I began to repeatedly needle Qin Wenye in the court, and embarrassed him everywhere.

At the same time, I am carrying out my plan to disintegrate Qin Wenye's forces.

To solve Qin Wenye, we must first solve Prime Minister Ye.

Prime Minister Ye Chengye is Qin Wenye's powerful backer in the court, and if Prime Minister Ye is eliminated, Qin Wenye's power will almost collapse.

Soon, Prime Minister Ye was imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

I originally wanted to take advantage of this matter and go to Ye Su'er and ask her to be soft on me.

Prime Minister Ye is her father, she will definitely beg me to let them go, so she will promise me everything.

Thinking of the pear blossoms and rain she cried in front of me and asked me to spare her family's lives, I felt that my bones were crispy.

But things didn't happen to me.

After she heard that Prime Minister Ye was imprisoned, she was quite happy.

And she told me bluntly that she was not born to Ye Chengxiang.

What's even more explosive is that she even wants to join forces with me to get rid of Qin Wenye.

She said that she was poisoned and controlled by Qin Wenye, so she longed for Qin Wenye to die.

I was a little excited.

But I can't show it.

Even though I knew that she might be lying to me again, I still chose to believe it.

What she says is always half-truthful, but I never ask for it.

Because the lies told are harmless.

Because what I care about is not what she lied.

I reached an agreement and consensus with her and began to deal with Qin Wenye together.

And I also know that there are many ministers in the DPRK, but they are actually her people.

She ostensibly sat firmly in the harem and did not participate in anything.

But in fact, many officials in the former dynasty were doing what she wanted.
