Chapter 142 The Queen Incident Continues to Ferment
After Zhao Xun left in a huff, he did not return to his own Longtai Palace, but went to Shen Yihuan's Luanfeng Palace.
He used his actions to tell everyone in the Great Yan Kingdom that he would not give up on Shen Yihuan.
"Brother Xun, if I really am your half-sister, would you really not mind?" Shen Yihuan felt calm because she had already found out her background a long time ago.
It sounds ridiculous, but it makes sense.
After this incident happened, Zhao Xun just said it was a rumor, but did not face the problem squarely, nor did he mention this matter to her. However, he still secretly sent someone to investigate.
However, his people seemed to be not very useful. After searching for a long time, no useful information was found.
It was confirmed that she was Concubine Qiu's child, but it was not discovered that she was Prime Minister Shen's child.
Zhao Xun thought of the information his men had found out and tightened his grip on Shen Yihuan's hand. Only he knew that when he learned the news, he was so terrified for the first time in his life.
Of course he didn't mind, but he was afraid Huan'er would mind.
"Don't mind. Even if I'm despised by the whole world, I won't leave you." He promised as if to prove something.
Shen Yihuan remained calm and continued, "But I heard that Brother Xun sent someone to check my background, so you still mind it."
"It's not that I mind, I just want to find out your true identity." Zhao Xun turned Shen Yihuan's body over and asked her to look at him. "No matter what the result is, I will not let go."
Shen Yihuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw how serious he was.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, you and I are not half-siblings, we are half-siblings, haha."
When Zhao Xun heard Shen Yihuan's words, he was initially startled, but when he carefully thought about the meaning of those words, he immediately realized that he had been fooled.
He raised his hand and tapped her head gently, pretending to be angry and said, "You scared me, you little rascal."
Shen Yihuan held her belly and bent over with laughter in Zhao Xun's arms.
"Don't get excited, and be careful with the kids."
"Now, the only thing in your heart and eyes is your child."
"Huan'er, you are wrongly accusing your husband. Don't you know how your husband treats you?"
"That's why I feel sorry for you because I know the answer." Shen Yihuan looked at the other person's watery eyes and sighed, "Brother Xun, I am actually the daughter of Concubine Qiu and Prime Minister Shen."
"Well, it's a bit unexpected, but it's also reasonable." After all, Concubine Qiu and Prime Minister Shen were originally husband and wife.
However, at that time, Concubine Qiu had already entered the palace and was able to give birth to a child with Prime Minister Shen, which seemed to be a scandal in the palace.
It is no wonder that my father would let Concubine Qiu, who had lost her son, go to a nunnery instead of staying in the palace to recuperate.
All of this actually has traces to follow.
"Huan'er, how did you know that?"
Shen Yihuan said without hesitation: "I sent someone to investigate."
"I didn't expect that your people are more capable than mine. You can find out what I can't."
Shen Yihuan said as a matter of course: "What's the big deal? Isn't what I found the same as what Brother Xun found?"
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment, then said cheerfully, "You're right."
After that, Zhao Xun stayed in Shen Yihuan's palace all day long, began to neglect state affairs, and no longer attended the morning court.
Faced with the sudden debauchery of King Niu, the ignorant ministers began to panic. When they were told several times during the morning court that the emperor was out of session, they asked someone to find out more.
As a result, the news we got was that His Majesty was spending the whole day in the Queen's Palace, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery.
After hearing the news, the ministers were deeply saddened and cried out that a demon queen had appeared in the country who had misled the emperor and caused him to neglect state affairs. The country's destruction was not far away.
When Zhao Xun heard these words, he was so angry that he smashed several vases.
"Why are you angry with Huaping? The news we released was so exaggerated, it's normal for the ministers to react like this."
Wasn't this what they had agreed on early on? He should have been prepared, so why did he lose his temper when the time came?
"I'm not angry at them for scolding you like that, old man. It's so abominable."
"There's nothing to be angry about. Things are going the way we expected. We should be happy." Shen Yihuan smiled gently and brought the peeled grapes to his mouth.
Zhao Xun said quickly: "Why should I ask you to help me peel the grapes? I should peel them for you to eat."
As he spoke, he picked a grape, peeled it carefully, and brought it to Shen Yihuan's mouth.
"After I got pregnant, I loved eating these sweet and sour grapes the most. You have to peel more for me."
"Yes, I obey your command."
At this moment, an uninvited guest came to the Liu family, but he hadn't been seen for many days and should be Prince Su who was in Hangcheng.
Also coming with Prince Su was Shen Yihuan's half-sister, Shen Yiluo.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
"Well, how's things going in the palace lately?"
The head of the Liu family told everything that had happened in Kyoto recently, including Zhao Xun's suspension of court.
After Zhao Heng heard this, he showed an excited expression on his face and said, "God is really helping me. Finally, I have waited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Yes, yes, yes. The prince can use the pretext of eliminating the demon queen to attack Zhao Xun." Shen Yiluo happily analyzed, "According to Zhao Xun's love for his sister, he will definitely not commit a crime. Then, we can take his place with a legitimate reason."
The head of the Liu family found the right moment, knelt in front of the two and shouted, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen."
Shen Yiluo was overjoyed when she heard this. As for Zhao Heng, he was also naturally happy to hear the head of the Liu family call him the emperor. But when he heard him call that bitch Shen Yiluo the queen, the corners of his mouth that had just curved up shrank again.
The head of the Liu family was such a shrewd man that he noticed something unusual at a glance. He muttered to himself that it seemed that the Princess Su was not favored by the Prince Su, so he had to be more careful with his words in the future.
After Prince Su sat down, he began to discuss things with the head of the Liu family. As for Shen Yiluo, she was taken to the backyard by the mistress of the Liu family.
The matter fermented for more than ten days. For the sake of the queen, the new emperor neglected state affairs and became licentious and immoral. The court officials complained bitterly. Gradually, the people became resentful and began to fight against the evil queen.
Of course, all these things were made public by Prince Su. He just wanted to get the pressure from the people and put pressure on Zhao Xun, and at the same time make his dispatch of troops more legitimate.
The situation gradually became very tense, and everyone in the palace felt like everyone was in danger these days.
As for Shen Yihuan, she had already suffered several waves of assassination attacks, all of which she had secretly suppressed.
"Master, this time we have really reaped great rewards. If successful, some of the problems left behind by the late emperor can be completely solved." Jin Song stood beside Shen Yihuan and said in a low voice.
