Chapter 697: Nangong Xuanyu is wronged and sacrifices his chastity
"If he wants to attack Ah Xu, I want to see if he has the ability to do so!"
Handan's tone was also chilling: "Your Highness Prince Jin is really daydreaming!"
"Your Majesty is still so young. There will definitely be more princes in the future. How can it be his turn to succeed his elder brother?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin usually pretends to be gentle and easy-going. If it weren't for the fact that the Queen said he was not a good person, I'm afraid I would be deceived by his appearance like those people outside."
Fuqiu's heart sank slightly, and she said worriedly: "But this matter... we have no evidence."
"The Prince of Jin is your Majesty's only brother. Just based on the word 'Bingzhou' that Old Tian's daughter heard, it is impossible to convict His Majesty of the Prince of Jin."
"If the matter gets out of hand, he might even turn the tables and say that the Empress is slandering him."
"Your Highness the Prince of Jin has put on such a good image outside, that when the time comes, both the ministers in the court and the royal family will blame the Queen for it."
"Perhaps some people will think that Your Majesty is trying to sow discord between His Royal Highness Prince Jin and His Majesty, and that she deserves death..."
"Even if Your Majesty believes in the Queen, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do..."
Shen Zhinian certainly understood this truth.
Just like Fuqiu said, it is impossible for Old Tian's daughter to kill King Jin just by hearing the word "Bingzhou".
But at least, I have gained something now.
She knew that Prince Jin had revealed his fangs in secret, so she could better guard against him!
Of course, Shen Zhinian is not the type of person who would passively defend himself when faced with problems.
Although she was not implicated in the matter of the Third Prince's first birthday ceremony in the end, since Prince Jin dared to attack her in secret, he must be prepared to pay the price!
But... Shen Zhinian is in the harem, and Prince Jin is a stranger. Unless there is a large banquet held by the royal family, the two of them usually don’t even see each other.
It is not an easy task to take action against King Jin.
But Shen Zhinian did not give up.
In his previous life, Nangong Xuanyu followed Chun Changzai and found evidence of the King of Jin's rebellion. Then he used the King of Jin's trick to force him to rebel, and beat him to a pulp!
But for some reason in this life, almost three months have passed since Prince Jin presented Chun Changzai to Nangong Xuanyu.
Nangong Xuanyu has never touched her until now.
If he had not used Chun Changzai like he did in his previous life, and even made her a concubine in the later period, who knows whether the original trajectory would have changed.
Shen Zhinian will not let Nangong Xuanyu let go of Chun Chang, this excellent chess piece.
Without her, how can he seduce Prince Jin and reveal his fox tail?
In order to reverse this situation and protect Ah Xu's safety, he had no choice but to inconvenience Nangong Xuanyu and sacrifice his chastity.
Shen Zhinian looked at Yuanbao and ordered, "Go to the Jingshifang and bring over the Tongshi."
"Tongshi" is a booklet in the harem that records the date, frequency, location and other information of concubines' sleeping with the emperor.
Shen Zhinian is the head of the harem, so naturally he has the power to inspect.
Yuanbao replied "yes" and immediately went out, swinging his whisk.
Not long after, he took the things back and handed them to Shen Zhinian respectfully: "My Lady."
Shen Zhinian took it, flipped through a few pages casually, and said, "Your Majesty should treat all the concubines in the harem equally."
"Chun Changzai has been learning the rules for a while, but she has not yet served in the emperor's bed. This is against the rules."
"Tell the people in the Jingshifang to put Chun Changzai's green card in the front tonight and mention it to His Majesty."
Although Yuan Bao didn't understand why the Queen wanted to push His Majesty to another lady, he knew that whatever the Queen did, she must have her reasons.
"Yes!"
Until now, even Handan would not ask, isn’t it sad that the Queen did this?
Because she had long understood that from the beginning to the end, the Queen had never cared about who the Majesty favored and who he did not favor.
All she cares about is honor, status, and the power in her hands!
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Nangong Xuanyu was reviewing memorials.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the young eunuch from the Jingshifang came in carrying trays of green cards.
Li Changde stepped forward with his back bent, and reminded as usual: "Your Majesty, is it time to turn over the cards?"
Seeing Nangong Xuanyu put down the memorial in his hand, the eunuch from the Jingshifang immediately stepped forward with a green sign.
The young eunuch at the front received Shen Zhinian's order and bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, among all the ladies and concubines in the harem, only Concubine Chun has not yet slept with you. Do you want to turn over her card tonight?"
Nangong Xuanyu glanced at the little eunuch.
The eunuchs in the Jingshifang were never talkative people. Especially when it came to whose nameplate he turned over and whose nameplate he didn't turn over, they would never remind him.
Otherwise, wouldn't that offend those concubines who were not picked?
What happened today is really abnormal.
What's more...Chun Changzai is Prince Jin's person.
The emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at the young eunuch and asked, "What benefit did Concubine Chun give you to make you speak for her in front of me?"
The young eunuch was startled and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not!"
"This, this... This is what Concubine Chen ordered..."
Miss?
At this moment, Nangong Xuanyu couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
He sat behind the dragon table, his angular face illuminated by the candlelight, his eyes looking dim.
"Concubine Chen asked why she ordered this?"
The young eunuch didn't know what he had said wrong, His Majesty's tone suddenly turned cold...
He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said truthfully: "It is the virtue of Concubine Chen that advises Your Majesty to treat everyone equally."
"The Imperial Concubine Chen said that there is still a young lady in the harem who has not slept with her, which is against the rules. So, so she asked me to remind her tonight."
There was nothing wrong with what Concubine Chen did.
On the contrary, she is very virtuous.
Even if word gets out, the concubines in the harem and the ministers in the court will praise her.
What the emperor hates most is women causing him trouble.
In the past, he doted on Concubine Chen so much, but Concubine Chen did not become arrogant and became more sensible. He would have been very pleased.
But at this moment... Nangong Xuanyu didn't feel happy at all.
He suddenly remembered the past, when Liu Shiqing's feelings for him were the strongest. Not to mention asking him to favor a new person, she would make a fuss for a long time if he even looked at any woman in the harem for a second longer.
Compared to Liu Shiqing, Nian Nian is indeed too generous...
At first, he didn't like Liu Shiqing's jealousy and domineering. But now, Nian Nian doesn't have these problems, and Nangong Xuanyu feels bad...
Li Changde was very perceptive and swung his whisk at the young eunuch: "Get down quickly!"
Your Majesty, does it look like you are interested in favoring Chun Changzai?
A bunch of idiots!
The young eunuch was as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly retreated with the green card in his hand.
