Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 279 Do you want the throne?

Shen Wang didn't expect the emperor to be so kind. He immediately thanked him and went to the harem.

With the eunuch leading the way, he couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

Shen Zhishu didn't expect his father to come.

When the two met, Shen Wang immediately spoke well of Yan Chu.

As a subject, he greatly admired the emperor's abilities.

As a father-in-law, it is so rare that a son-in-law of such a noble status can treat him kindly.

"Are there any clues in the case of the Queen Mother's disappearance?"

This was his kindness, and Shen Zhishu was very grateful.

And being able to see him now was just what she wanted.

"The people who should be suspected the most are those in the teahouse. I have decided to interrogate them strictly. Otherwise, there is really no way to find out about the others."

Shen Wang shook his head.

Those who dare to kidnap the Queen Mother are not extraordinary people, so all their whereabouts will be buried and difficult to trace.

"Father, have you ever thought about why the Queen Mother and Princess Jing'an were kidnapped at the same time? If they didn't ask for money, what else would they ask for?"

"Power and status."

"Are you kidnapping the Queen Mother to threaten the Emperor to give you power? Which official in Kyoto would dare to do such a thing?"

Shen Zhishu asked again.

Shen Wang's eyes lit up instantly.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. Whoever said that must be a citizen of this dynasty."

He seemed to have a direction in an instant.

"And the Emperor also thinks this is a self-directed and self-acted drama. Father, why don't you go to the posthouse to see the reaction of the Prince Consort..."

Shen Zhishu's first reaction was that Jing'an had failed to achieve her goal, so she deliberately designed this good show to hide the Queen Mother. She also pretended to be missing to delay time.

It is more likely that he will use this to threaten the Queen Mother and take over the ancient city.

If the Queen Mother disobeyed, she would most likely give up and die together with the Queen Mother. Then the secret that the Queen Mother poisoned the Emperor would spread to the palace from outside.

I’m afraid Yan Chu doesn’t even have a chance to defend himself.

Or perhaps, the two would take this opportunity to talk about the secret letter.

If they confronted each other, they would know that the way the letter was delivered to the palace was not right. If they were to find out who knew about it, she would only worry that the previous trick was wrong.

So anything is possible.

In the past few days, Shen Zhishu ate little, slept lightly, and was worried.

"Father knows what to do."

If it was really someone from outside the Great Wall who directed and acted out the incident, then there would be no reason for the prince consort not to know about it.

Interrogate, observe words and expressions, and find out the flaws.

These are what Shen Wang is best at.

"Father, I have a request for you."

But when Shen Wang was about to leave, Shen Zhishu suddenly grabbed him.

Since the Emperor has asked my father to be in charge of this case, my father has the greatest chance of finding the Queen Mother.

"If there are any clues and the person is found, father must tell his daughter immediately and then send it to the emperor first. It must be sent to the emperor first."

Shen Wang was confused again.

"it is good."

But he had no reason to refuse his daughter's request.

Only after seeing Shen Wang off did Shen Zhishu feel a little relieved.

After the Queen Mother disappeared, the harem became peaceful.

It seems that no one wants to stand out at this time and bring disaster upon themselves.

It was in the Qixiang Palace, the bedroom of Concubine Yue.

In the afternoon, the house was closed.

Concubine Yue was sitting in the room, and right in front of her stood a man dressed as a eunuch. Only when he took off his hat did he reveal a mature and handsome face.

When Concubine Yue saw this face, she couldn't help but sneer.

"A famous military marquis actually disguised himself as a eunuch to enter the palace, and he didn't even mind humiliating your identity."

She was sarcastic.

Isn’t the person standing in front of her Su Yan?

"So I would do anything to see the Concubine."

He was not annoyed, but smiled affectionately.

But as soon as she finished her words, Concubine Yue suddenly stood up, picked up the teacup in front of her and smashed it over.

The next second the cup shattered.

Su Yan's face was also cut, and blood dripped onto the ground.

"As you get older, you become more shameless, right?"

Concubine Yue had a look of disgust on her face, and couldn't believe that he could say such shameless words.

"Your temper is much worse than it was back then."

"Stop talking nonsense. What are you doing here? If you have something to say, just say it. Then get out of here. I don't want to see you at all."

Concubine Yue clenched her fists, as if she was enduring it and trying not to get angry.

"I wanted to talk to you about the past, but you wouldn't agree. So I came here to thank you."

Su Yan really didn't bother to be long-winded and just said what he wanted to say.

"I want to thank you for giving me a good son. Now I have brought him back home and will train him well so that he can inherit my legacy in the future."

He came to confess.

But just recently, Concubine Yue already knew about this.

Because of this incident, she became sick with anger.

I had just figured out how to settle the score with him, but I didn't expect that he would risk entering the palace on his own.

"Su Yan, you are so shameless."

What good son, what inheritance?

If it were twenty years ago, even if a son was offered to him, he would never accept him.

"Don't you want to see Zheng'er become successful, enjoy wealth and honor, and return to his roots? As the son of a coachman, it will be difficult for him to achieve great things in his life. Even with your mother's family background, he can only be a small general."

Su Yan didn't care and remained calm and composed.

The more the concubine's fingernails were pressed, the more pain her hands felt.

"Since you have made up your mind, what can I do to you while I am trapped in the palace? Why are you telling me all this?"

she sneered.

The corners of my eyes turned red unconsciously.

"I will definitely be able to train him and he will achieve great success in the future, but I'm afraid the current emperor will be an obstacle. If he can support one of our family members to ascend the throne, Zheng'er will achieve greater success."

"what for?"

Concubine Yue was stunned and felt extremely nervous.

"Prince Shuo, you are his son. Although he has nothing to do with me, he and Zheng'er are half-brothers. You are closer to him than the current emperor."

"Are you crazy?"

She couldn't believe that Su Yan dared to have such a crazy idea.

The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and he is already thinking about rebellion?

"Why don't you want your son to be the emperor?"

Su Yan seemed to not understand Concubine Yue's expression and asked back with great confidence.

Who said they don’t want to?

If she didn't want to, what has she been doing all these years?

But King Shuo had already given up the throne and fled to his fiefdom.

Concubine Yue had a sullen face and did not speak.

"In the past few years, I didn't care about the disputes in the court or who was the emperor, because I was loyal to the Yan Dynasty. But now that I'm back, some of my ideas have to change."

Su Yan was talking about his own thoughts.

Concubine Yue looked at him with indifference, as if she had no interest in what he said.

Just watch him perform quietly.

He wants to help King Shuo seize the throne?

Now that the situation has been decided, is it so easy to seize the throne of Yanchu?

If he had made his position clear earlier, and King Shuo had his support, maybe...

But how is that possible? This selfish man would never do something that is thankless.
