Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1125 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 51

Concubine Shu and Prince Guo were taken to the Yangxin Palace in a panic. Zhen promised that Da Pangju would not keep anyone there. Chunyuan's face and talent were indeed extraordinary, but even if Chunyuan was alive, it could not be compared with the safety of the country, let alone the stability of Da Pangju's throne.

When Concubine Shu was invited to the Yangxin Palace, she couldn't help but feel startled when she saw the clan members sitting in a row. But when she saw her own son, Prince Guo, standing next to Da Pangju, she calmed down and saluted Da Pangju as usual, "Your Majesty, I wonder why the emperor summoned us here?"

Prince Guo arrived just one step earlier than Concubine Shu, so he didn't know what had happened. But the next moment Su Peisheng came in with Zhen Da Ying and Cui Jinxi. Prince Guo was still confused, but Concubine Shu's heart couldn't help but beat heavily. The bad premonition in her heart became more and more obvious, and her mouth and tongue became dry and tight.

Zhen agreed and shuddered as he looked at the people in the room.

The moment she saw Concubine Shu and Prince Guo, her mind quickly connected all her past experiences, and then she came to a conclusion that was incredible but very likely to be the truth: Concubine Shu was indeed trying to match her up with Prince Guo, and the reason was probably that they wanted to use the child in her belly to steal the throne!

Cui Jinxi was also brought here, so the imperial concubine she had served was probably Imperial Concubine Shu.

Zhen Da Ying never expected that she would be involved in such a huge conspiracy. All she could do now was to pray that Big Fat Ju still had feelings for her, otherwise she might not have a chance to leave the Yangxin Palace today, and the entire Zhen family would be implicated!

Ten steps was enough time for Zhen to figure everything out. She walked respectfully to the center of the hall and knelt down to kowtow: "Your concubine Zhen of Jingyang Palace pays homage to the emperor. May our emperor live long."

Cui Jinxi and Su Peisheng followed suit to greet him, but the changes in Zhen's expression since he entered the room were noticed by Big Fat Ju and the other clan members.

At this moment, Big Fat Orange was really willing to believe that Zhen Ying was completely unaware of the Zhen family's training her to be Queen Chunyuan. However, what the Zhen family had done was too serious. He could spare Zhen Ying's life, but he could not help but hold the Zhen family accountable, especially since the only people in the Zhen family who were truly unaware were Zhen Ying and her younger sister.

When other clan members saw how virtuous and intelligent Zhen Ying was, they also felt sorry for her. As they said, the Zhen family's matter was too big. Zhen Ying might be able to survive because of her slight relationship with Dapang Ju, but no other member of the Zhen family would receive such preferential treatment.

Prince Heng read out the plan between Concubine Shu and Prince Guo's mother and son. Not only did Zhen, who had always been used as a pawn, agree to it, but even Su Peisheng, who gave Cui Jinxi a little convenience just because of their hometown friendship, couldn't help sweating all over.

It was true that he was unaware of Cui Jinxi's background, but he had also leaked a lot of information about Dapangju without knowing it, and he could not deny that.

What was totally unexpected was that Prince Guo, who attempted to fulfill his dream of becoming the "Father of the Nation" by deceiving the concubines in the harem, was not as mentally strong as his mother, Concubine Shu, and the person he seduced, Zhen Da Ying. Under the intimidating gazes of his brothers, he actually gave up and blew himself up.

"This king just won't accept it!"

"When you were just a prince, you dreamed of snatching my wife away. Just because you fell in love with Ulanara Rouze, the elder sister of the empress who was still a concubine at the time, you knelt in the Qianqing Palace for three days. The old man actually agreed to your ridiculous request!"

"You are just an unpopular prince who is still indulging in love affairs. How could the old man pass the throne to you?!"

Prince Heng was amused by his younger brother, Prince Guo. Seeing Concubine Shu looking pale and almost unable to stand, he was kind enough to explain to his younger brother: "What do you mean by seizing my wife? At most, it's just a minor offense. Did it delay my fourth brother's work for so many years?"

"Furthermore, has it delayed the fact that Fourth Brother is the old man's biological son?"

"The Crown Prince once touched the concubines in the old man's harem. Do you think the old man was angry because the Crown Prince touched his concubine mother?"

"No, the old man hates the prince for coveting the imperial power!"

No one would doubt the authenticity of such explosive news coming from Prince Heng's mouth, but several young princes could not help but reveal very surprised expressions, while Zhen Da Ying, Cui Jinxi and Su Peisheng, who were kneeling in the hall, prostrated themselves even lower, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and disappear.

Prince Chun also said leisurely: "You only saw that Longkodo hid the Manchu and Mongolian imperial edicts for selfish reasons, and believed the rumors fabricated by Lao Ba and his party. Or because you have ulterior motives, you selectively ignore the clues and only believe that Lao Ba and his party's fabrications are the truth."

"But in fact, when Fourth Brother ascended the throne, he was already the eldest son in the actual sense, and he handled things with great tact. Only when he ascended the throne could he clean up the problems left by the old man in his later years."

"Do you think it will be your turn if Lao Ba can't take the position?"

"To be honest, with the half Baiyi prisoner blood in your body, even if you are the only one left among us brothers, we will only choose the right person from Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Gong's Mansion, and Prince Chun's Mansion to adopt to the old man!"

Prince Lu stepped forward and said righteously, "Because you have foreign blood, you will never have the possibility of inheriting the throne. Even though the old man raised you all those years ago, and you are so favored, none of the brothers are afraid of you. You are not even worth winning over. You are just a tool for everyone to show brotherly love to the old man."

Prince Guo was dumbfounded, but this time it was Concubine Shu's turn to break down.

"Impossible, impossible!"

"It is impossible that my son has no inheritance rights, it is impossible that he has no inheritance rights!"

"I can see that the emperor is wary of my son, and my son is also very clear about it. It can't be fake. Don't try to deceive me!"

Big Fat Orange simply wanted to go back in time and kill the version of himself who had just ascended the throne and was wary of Prince Guo.

However, in the face of Concubine Shu's breach of defense, he was able to fool people without changing his expression or speeding up his heartbeat, "What's there to be afraid of? I just can't stand Old Seventeen being so leisurely all the time."

Prince Heng was absolutely convinced of this. After all, the fourth brother was narrow-minded and ruthless, and the older brothers knew it.

There was no need to ask any further questions. After Concubine Shu and her son were taken away, the princes and nobles also said goodbye. After all, Zhen Ying was a noble lady in Big Fat Ju's harem. How to deal with her depended on how much position Zhen Ying held in Big Fat Ju's heart.

Zhen agreed and wanted to pounce on Concubine Shu and bite her to death, but she could not be discouraged. She had to work hard for the future of the Zhen family. "Your Majesty, I didn't know that Concubine Shu had ill intentions. When she plotted against Concubine Nian, it was Concubine Shu who took the initiative to find me, claiming to be a close friend of my concubine's sister Huanbi's birth mother."

"At that time, I really hated Concubine Nian for having someone at the Ministry of Punishment do something to kill my concubine's younger sister, so I had no choice but to cooperate with Concubine Shu."

"I didn't know that Concubine Shu actually had the delusion of changing the world!"
