Mr. Huang first felt that something was wrong with the prince, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, but it would be impossible to include all the unmarried female relatives in his house on the list.
After all, once the marriage was submitted, the woman above could not discuss marriage until the marriage was approved. If the prince delayed the marriage for a year and a half, his daughter's flowering period would be completely delayed.
Seeing Master Huang's fear, the two adults, He Luo, secretly rejoiced that they had taken a step slower.
When Wan Xiao stopped writing, Shen Qianyu said: "If any minister wants to send his female family members to the East Palace in the past few days, just inform Wan Xiao, and I will ask the people in Dongchang to record the female family members in his palace. Don't worry, sir."
"Wei Chen knows."
The three adults didn't look good on their faces. Seeing this, Shen Qianyu waved his hand and asked someone to collect the entire roster and hand it to the queen, without paying any attention to them.
At this point, the three of them had nothing to say. They hesitated for a while and then exited the East Palace.
The queen had been really mad for a long time because of the death of the eldest prince. She spent the whole day in the palace either delivering letters to her mother clan or ordering Xun You to find opportunities to kill the prince.
In the past, the queen's family would reply with one or two sentences, but now all the news they sent fell into the sea without any sound.
The queen's eyebrows were ferocious, and she dragged the female officials in the palace and screamed.
"Has my father received my oral instructions?"
"Why don't you send someone to me?"
"A bunch of rubbish, all a bunch of rubbish."
The bright red nails dug at the palace maid in front of her. The palace maid instinctively ducked back out of fear, which only made the queen even more angry.
"Dare you hide?"
The queen stared at the palace maid with stern eyebrows and scarlet eyes. Just as she was about to take action, Xun You entered the palace and presented her with the list of concubines selected by Shen Qianyu.
"Please take a look at it."
Only after seeing Queen Xun You did she regain some sense. She suppressed the inexplicable anger surging in her heart and said, "What is it."
"The list of candidates for Liangdi presented by the Crown Prince of the East Palace."
The Queen sneered: "He is lucky enough to be alive today."
After saying that, she raised her hand and pulled the list suddenly. Xun You's hand hurt, and five bright red blood marks were scratched by the queen's nails. He lowered his eyes and stepped aside, not daring to speak.
At that time, there was news in the palace that the prince had recovered from illness, and the queen asked him to go to the East Palace to test it out. But now that I think about it, the prince has planned every step since he stepped into the East Palace.
Thinking about it now, the prince must know the people in the palace well if he holds the Dongchang in his hands. Knowing that he always liked to be clean, that person deliberately made the East Palace smelly, making him extremely disgusted.
The bedding was also deliberately made full of filth. He was disgusted when he saw it and didn't want to take another look, let alone do it himself.
Now think about it, if Dong Gong really neglected the prince so much, why would there be a burning clay stove on the table? Could it be that he was making tea for the prince?
The clay furnace was clearly used by him to test the prince.
How could a paralytic have such a heart-to-heart calculation? In fact, they were a group of people who underestimated the enemy and were deceived by the prince for many years.
That man took the lead in every step and anticipated every move he made and thought, which was really amazing.
Xun You glanced at the scars on his hands and snorted in his heart.
Come on, this is what he owes the queen.
The queen was angry with him, and if he didn't get out of the way, she would be afraid of causing trouble in the future.
Putting his hands behind his back, Xun You remained silent.
Seeing his reaction, the queen also felt that her behavior was a bit inappropriate. After summoning the maids around her to treat his wounds, she opened the roster and looked through them one by one.
After a moment, she sneered: "What a hypocrite who is just trying to gain fame."
"The prince does have some brains."
The queen casually handed the list to Xun You: "He doesn't have much, but he knows how to use his reputation to benefit himself."
"The woman above..."
Xun You frowned when he saw this and said, "What does the prince mean by a cripple like this, with a hidden disease?"
"What do you mean? Zuo just wants to gain a reputation as a virtuous and holy man to fool the foolish officials in the court and the people of the world."
The queen opened her bloodshot eyes with a sinister expression: "I will help him, and when the harem is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people without any beauties, will he become lustful, cowardly, and lose his moral integrity?"
She didn't believe there were men in this world who didn't care about sex.
Stretching out his hand, the maid beside him quickly handed over the pen and ink.
After carefully looking at the list and notes, the queen made a few strokes with a sinister smile before throwing the book to the ground.
"Give it to the prince and let me see if he can really do this for the sake of fame."
Xun You picked up the roster and took a quick look at it, only to see six people ticked on it. The two princes, Liangdi, were clearly the legitimate daughters of merchants who were over thirty years old and were suffering from serious illnesses. The only daughter of the censor.
The remaining Western Crown Prince Liangyuan was either disabled or had been observing filial piety for a long time and was half a decade older than the Crown Prince. The other two were well-known ugly and obese daughters in Shangjing.
Xun You frowned slightly when he saw this. These six people were really too obvious.
The Queen's intentions are obvious, and the courtiers will be furious once this list is published.
When he raised his head and wanted to comfort her, he saw that the queen's hair was messy and her eyes were like an animal, without any sense left.
Xun You paused and swallowed the words in his mouth.
The eldest prince is dead, and the queen has been abandoned by her mother's family. When her mother clan asked the queen to send the daughter of the clan to the East Palace, she went crazy.
Whether she will be impeached by the courtiers or not is not important to her at all.
She is at the end of her rope, what does she care about?
"Slave understands."
Xun You bowed and retreated.
As soon as the Queen's decree came out, it really caused a backlash in the court. Several ministers jointly reported it, and the imperial censor went all out to attack the Queen, which annoyed Emperor Wenhui very much.
Shen Qianyu behaved like a normal person every day, with a gentle smile on his face. If he meets an old minister who is aggrieved for him, he will listen carefully and comfort him softly.
In these days, everyone in the court was angry at the Queen for being unworthy, and even the Queen's family was implicated.
The queen's sister-in-law wanted to enter the palace for an interview many times, but was rejected all times.
This matter lasted for more than half a month. At first, Emperor Wen Hui couldn't bear the criticism from his courtiers and had to go to the queen's palace to warn her to restrain herself.
Looking at the queen who had long since lost her mind and was getting more and more crazy, Emperor Wen Hui frowned and scolded her for being unworthy of her position.
"So what if Virtue doesn't match the position? Is it possible that you can depose the queen?"
"Shen Congyi, do you have the courage?"
The queen stepped on the thick carpet on the ground with her bare feet, pointed at Emperor Wen Hui and cursed: "You coward, did you, as a father, ask Chi'er when he was killed?"
"You clearly know that Qian Chi was harmed by the prince, but you just flipped over a few words of compliments and a few unnecessary historical descriptions. Are you still not a human being?"
"Of all the princes back then, you were the only one who was the most cowardly and incompetent. But how did you promise me so firmly when I got married?"
The queen's mother's family is powerful. If Emperor Wen Hui hadn't vowed that he would be rewarded after he ascended the throne, how would she have gotten married?
If he hadn't been coaxing her with sweet words every day since their marriage, how could she be willing to use the strength of the whole family to help him get rid of the last two princes, Seventeen and Nineteen?
"If it weren't for my mother clan, how could you be where you are today?"
"Back then, you knelt down and swore that I would make Chi'er the emperor, but you didn't know that it was all nonsense to deceive me."
The queen overturned the lantern stand hanging with the palace lantern and said with a smile: "Shen Congyi, you will die badly if you break the promise and break the promise!"
