The Emperor's Son-in-Law

"Master Duan, let's hurry back to Fengwu Palace."

"The two servants you just beat have already run away. They may have returned to Duanning Palace to complain to Concubine Duan."

"I'm afraid Concubine Duan has already gone to Fengwu Palace to find the queen."

Leng Shuang reminded carefully.

"I know."

Duan Chun frowned slightly.

He heard from his father that the current Dakang Palace.

Although the Queen is the master of the Central Palace, the Queen has always been weak.

Not caring much about the affairs of the harem, the emperor appointed two concubines to assist the Queen in managing the harem.

One is Concubine Duan and the other is Concubine Shu.

Concubine Duan has a prominent family background. Xiao Yi, the current Zhongshu Ling of the Dakang Empire, is Concubine Duan's elder brother.

The Xiao family has great power in the court, so His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is one of the six adult princes now.

He is the second most powerful prince after the Queen's eldest son, the Prince of Qin.

He is also a strong candidate for the position of the crown prince.

Concubine Duan was domineering. After the founding of the country, she entered the palace and was conferred the title almost at the same time as the Empress.

Therefore, Concubine Duan hardly took the Empress seriously.

My father told Duan Chun not to provoke Concubine Duan.

Unfortunately, Duan Chun couldn't stand this kind of bullying.

Since he traveled through time, he guessed that the closer he was to the top, the more complicated the situation would be.

But what he was experiencing now was several times more troublesome than he imagined!

"What is the condition of the Empress?"

Duan Chun asked Leng Shuang about the Empress as he walked forward.

Just because he guessed that the Empress was now suffering from tuberculosis.

And tuberculosis was almost a terminal disease in ancient times.

But in modern times, tuberculosis has been completely controlled by modern medicine.

As long as the cause of the Empress's illness and the current severity of the disease can be determined.

Maybe he can come up with a way to treat tuberculosis...

Leng Shuang answered Duan Chun's question.

Duan Chun understood more and more that the queen's disease was tuberculosis.

He quickly returned to Fengwu Palace, entered the gate and courtyard, and came to the main hall.

Duan Chun had already seen a group of maids and a group of eunuchs standing on both sides of the gate.

There were nearly twenty people!

The momentum of this Concubine Duan seemed to be even more powerful than that of the queen...

In the hall, a woman's angry shout was heard.

"Sister, please judge."

"That Duan Chun dared to trespass into Beiqiu Garden when he entered the palace for the first time."

"He also injured the servants I sent there to guard."

"Look at these two servants, one of them has a broken arm."

"One has a broken rib..."

"The Duan family boy is so bold, please punish Duan Chun severely!"

The woman's angry shouts continued from the hall.

It seems that Concubine Duan has just rushed to Fengwu Palace.

Leng Shuang was so scared that she lowered her head, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

But she still turned around and reminded Duan Chun softly.

"Little Master Duan, go in later."

"Please don't argue with Concubine Duan."

"Otherwise, even the Queen can't protect you!"

"I will share all the blame for you."

Leng Shuang said softly, and then hurried up the steps with her head down.

Duan Chun shook his head. He was not afraid of Concubine Duan.

It was just that he beat two eunuchs.

At worst, he would never enter the palace again.

Duan Chun strode to the door of the hall.

"I am Leng Shuang, bringing Little Master Duan to report to the Queen."

Leng Shuang reported.

"Ahem..."

"Come in."

The Queen's voice sounded.

Concubine Duan's angry shouting also stopped abruptly.

Duan Chun walked into the hall and saw a beautiful woman standing in the center of the hall at first sight.

This woman was about thirty years old and wore a luxurious palace skirt.

Her head was decorated with various precious ornaments.

Standing there with an angry face, he watched Duan Chun enter the hall.

"I am Duan Chun, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to the Queen."

Duan Chun saluted with his fists.

"Chun'er is here, this is Concubine Duan."

The Queen introduced lightly.

"Your humble servant pays my respects to Concubine Duan."

Duan Chun turned around and saluted.

"Hmph..."

Concubine Duan turned away with disdain.

Duan Chun then saw that there were two eunuchs kneeling on one side of the hall.

One was covering his shoulder, and the other was covering his chest.

They were the two guys who were knocked down by him in one move outside the gate of Beiqiu Garden.

However, Duan Chun looked a little curious. Although he had not yet controlled the power of this new body when he attacked just now.

But he knew in his heart that the injuries of these two guys should not be serious.

But now, these two guys seem to be seriously injured, and one of their arms cannot move.

One of them has a broken rib...

Oh my god, this is not here to complain, it is obviously here to make trouble!

Duan Chun immediately realized that Concubine Duan was not trying to make things difficult for him.

But... she seems to have some grudges with her adopted father.

Okay, if you want to make a fuss, then I will make it bigger.

"Chun'er, Concubine Duan just said that you beat the eunuch on duty in front of the gate of Beiqiu Garden?"

The Queen asked.

"Yes, Queen, I am going to Beiqiu Garden in accordance with your imperial decree."

"But these two servants blocked the gate and refused to let me in."

"And they said that it must be approved by your Majesty."

"This is clearly disrespectful to the Queen."

"So Wei Chen couldn't hold it back for a moment and gave them a lesson."

"But their current injuries look like they have been tortured with sticks."

"Weichen didn't do such a heavy trick."

Duan Chun said with cupped fists.

"Bold Duan Chun!"

"You commit murder in the palace, and yet you dare to make such quibbles."

"Queen, you must let this boy know the laws of the palace."

"Otherwise, how will my sister be in charge of the imperial palace in the future?"

Concubine Duan shouted angrily.

"These two slaves are guarding Beiqiu Garden under the orders of my sister."

"As for Beiqiu Garden, His Majesty ordered it to be closed, and outsiders are not allowed to approach it easily."

"He said he went to see that bitch on his sister's orders."

"I wonder if this is true?"

Concubine Duan looked at the queen coldly and continued to ask.

"That's right, Duan Chun followed my order to meet Sister Jing Fei."

"And he, following His Majesty's orders, entered the palace to meet with the princesses who have not yet been married."

"To determine the candidate for the princess to be married to in the future."

"I just asked him to go to Beiqiu Garden. Does my sister have any doubts about His Majesty's will?"

"Ahem..."

The queen asked calmly.

"Your Majesty has no clear intention, so my sister did this."

"Aren't you afraid of causing turmoil in the government and the opposition?"

Concubine Duan sneered.

"Sister, this matter will wait until His Majesty returns to the palace."

"If you have any questions, just ask His Majesty."

"Your Majesty wants to punish the crime, and I am happy to accept the decree."

"But now, the two slaves were indeed injured by Duan Chun."

"I will give these two slaves twelve taels of silver each to go and heal their wounds."

"Sister, there is no need to dwell on this anymore."

The queen frowned and said.

"Twenty taels of silver, sister, you want to understand this matter so easily?"

"Then when foreign ministers enter the palace, won't anyone dare to attack them?"

Concubine Duan shouted coldly.

"Ahem..."

The queen was about to retort, but she coughed violently while holding her chest.

"The royal concubine."

"These two minions were indeed the work of Wei Chen."

"Just because they are too domineering."

"Since the empress insists on holding the minister accountable."

"Wei Chen wants to know, how should the empress punish Wei Chen?"

Duan Chun asked with a sneer.
