The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 337 With bad intentions

Crown Princess Cao Fengtong went to Jiaofang Palace to greet Empress Cao when she returned, and saw Zhao Bi in her palace.

It was rare for Zhao Bi to come to her. Cao Fengtong felt happy and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and greeted her husband warmly.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Bi asked with a cold face: "I would like to ask you, Zhou Cainu proposed to have a banquet for the married woman in the East Palace, why did you refuse?"

Cao Fengtong saw Zhao Bi suddenly mentioning this with a gloomy face. She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses and explained: "It is true that Zhou Cainu proposed to use the Shen family to win over the Duke of Zhenguo and the eldest princess.

is a good method

Son, but the Queen Mother has already had this plan, but she just wants to take it slowly. Now that His Highness's every move is being watched by the courtiers, I feel it is not appropriate for us to invite Shen to the East Palace so rashly."

Cao Fengtong's words were reasonable and reasonable, but after hearing this, Zhao Bi said angrily: "What's wrong with me? I see you only care about your own leisure, and you don't want to think about me at all."

Although Cao Fengtong was well aware of Zhao Bi's moody temperament, she did not expect that he would lose his temper with her over such a trivial matter. She looked at Zhao Bi doubtfully and defended: "Your Highness's unexcused absence from the palace banquet is causing the scandal.

Submit a letter of impeachment, why?

At this juncture, extraneous matters arise. If those people find out that we are deliberately wooing the families of important ministers in the East Palace, wouldn’t it be even more powerful? I think that at this juncture, it is best for us to keep a low profile, Your Highness."

Before Cao Fengtong could finish what he said, Zhao Bi impatiently interrupted: "It's just a banquet for the wife of the bride, how could it involve so many things."

As he said this, he rolled his eyes at Cao Fengtong and said displeasedly: "You, the princess, should be the one to share the worries for me when it comes to making friends. Not only do you not have this intention, but now Zhou Cainu wants to share the worries for me, and you are trying to shirk the blame in every possible way.

"

"Hmph! I see you don't have the ability to sit in the position of the princess."

This is a very serious statement.

"Your Highness——"

Although Queen Cao had a look of relief on her face, she could not hide the deep disappointment in her eyes.

After all, they have not yet obtained the crown prince, so they naturally don’t want Emperor Ming to wake up from his sleep.

After hearing this, everyone had different expressions.

The female officer was also puzzled by Zhao Bi's abnormal behavior. She echoed: "This matter was originally brought up by Zhou Cainu. If she is said to be causing trouble and trying to use the opportunity to drive a wedge between you and His Highness, she must have something to do with it."

Maybe, it's just that His Highness is suddenly so anxious to invite that Shen family into the palace, but it's also a bit strange."

When everyone heard this, their eyes all focused on the eldest princess.

The prince Zhao Bike did not have a palace like his mother. When he heard that the emperor had woken up, his face turned surprisingly ugly.

Cao Fengtong waved his hand and said: "Your Highness has always been tired of my aunt's discipline. If I report everything to my aunt, it will only make your highness and I tired of it."

When the eldest princess heard the bad news, she was so shocked that she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Aunt Ju held her in her arms and said, "Princess, don't be anxious. Your Majesty has always been strong and will be fine."

The female official tentatively said: "Then what are you going to do? Do you really want to invite Mrs. Shen to the East Palace? The officials are watching His Highness closely. Do you want to discuss this matter with the Queen?"

A crowded group of important ministers, concubines, princes and princesses waited outside Emperor Ming's chamber until the sun set, and Li Dequan, the chief chamberlain, tried to sweat out with his sleeves.

Li Dequan said a few perfunctory words to everyone, then looked at the eldest princess and said: "Your Highness, eldest princess, please come in and talk."

Everyone immediately gathered around, and Li Dequan said to everyone: "Everyone, please be safe. Your Highness has woken up."

The palace maid came in, and said with a hint of anxiety in her tone: "Your Highness, Princess, news came from the palace just now, saying that your Majesty suddenly fainted."

Cao Fengtong sighed and said: "I think he is also driven by the current situation. Now I am afraid that only the power of the eldest princess and the Zhenguo Palace can make His Highness secure the position of crown prince."

Concubine Meng and Prince Jin breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing the news. One of them clasped their hands together and muttered something, and the other was so excited that tears almost filled his eyes.

There are only three princesses left who have not yet surrendered. The seventh princess is locked up in the palace. The eighth princess is crazy. Only Qingluan is guarding outside the palace. She doesn't care about her father's well-being. What she regrets in her heart is that she didn't invite her father earlier.

The emperor decreed that she be given to Li Ling as his equal wife. When she heard that Emperor Ming had woken up, her first thought was to take advantage of her father's awakening to discuss this important matter with him.

Cao Fengtong looked at Zhao Bi in disbelief and said timidly: "Your Highness, we are husband and wife, how could you say such a thing."

She made up her mind and said: "Go and get the name card. I will edit the book myself and just invite Mrs. Shen to come to the East Palace."

The eldest princess stroked her chest and said, "Hurry and prepare the car and enter the palace!"

Her personal female officer stepped forward to help her up and helped her analyze: "Prince, don't be anxious. Your Highness is suddenly so concerned about inviting the wife of the eldest son of the Li family to the palace. I think there must be a reason."

The eldest princess quickly asked: "Do you know if it is serious? What did the imperial doctor say? How is your majesty now?"

The palace maid replied: "I heard that His Majesty suddenly fainted, and the imperial doctors are doing their best to treat him. We still don't know what happened now."

Without waiting for Cao Fengtong to express his feelings, Zhao Bi flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.

If Emperor Ming had gone like this, wouldn't her prince son be able to ascend the throne smoothly? She didn't want to wake up again, how could she not be disappointed.

In the Luo'an Hall of the Zhenguo Palace, Aunt Ju was flipping through a book and chatting with the eldest princess about how she was going to pay homage to the late Empress Li in a while.

Zhao Bi glanced at Cao Fengtong and snorted coldly: "Don't think that relying on the support of your mother, I really can't do anything to you. If you don't invite the Shen family to the East Palace this time, I will go and follow you in person."

Father, please order me to destroy you."

Cao Fengtong glanced at Zhao Bi's ruthless back and fell to the ground sadly, tears of grievance flowing down her cheeks.

As the saying goes, bystanders know better. After hearing these words, Cao Fengtong suddenly came to her senses. She wiped away her tears, frowned, and guessed: "Could it be that Zhou Cainu said something to His Highness that made His Highness behave like this?"

Among the crowd of people, the only one who really cared about Emperor Ming was the eldest princess.

At this time, Emperor Ming met with the eldest princess alone, and there must be important matters to discuss.

Then, the most important thing is nothing more than the position of crown prince.

People outside the hall couldn't help but feel nervous. Concubine Meng was the first to react. She quickly stepped forward and knelt down to the eldest princess and said politely: "Sister Huang, please ask me to accompany you in."

Before the eldest princess could speak, Empress Cao came forward, rolled her eyes fiercely at Concubine Meng and said, "It is the eldest sister that the Holy One is meeting. I'm afraid Concubine Meng's behavior is against the rules."

There will be more updates soon. I will post the ones I just finished first. I have something to do today and have been delayed!
