She was unable to justify herself, and was defeated by Ye Zhenzhen. She did not leak the relevant information about Baishan Hall to outsiders, so the source of Princess Ke's information was questionable.
It's either this or that, which clearly tells others that King Ke bribed the ministers of the court and learned the contents of the memorial through illegal means.
This is a behavior that every arbitrary emperor cannot tolerate, so it is no wonder that Emperor Xuanwu's expression changed.
King Ke absolutely did not dare to arouse the emperor's suspicion at this juncture, so he had to bite the bullet and add: "I overheard several ministers discussing your plans, madam, and thought that you had already made a plan to discuss it with the princess in private. I mentioned a few words and asked her to help you more, but I didn’t expect that the lady didn’t advertise it widely, which caused a misunderstanding.”
"I see. Thank you for your highnesses' kindness. Your majesty has just asked Princess Ningyang to take care of my wife. I really don't dare to let your highness, Princess Ke, do the work."
"Exactly."
The queen took up the conversation and said: "Don't worry too much about trivial matters. Take good care of yourself and add a few more sticks of incense to Prince Ke. That's the main business. After all, the heirs of Prince Ke's palace are a little thin."
Even though she knew it was a provocation, Concubine Su still fell into the trap and looked at Concubine Ke with a bit of dissatisfaction and displeasure.
Princess Ke's heart was full of bitterness. She and King Ke had been married for many years and had not been able to give birth to a legitimate son. She couldn't give birth to a child, so naturally she didn't want to let her concubine give birth to one. However, Concubine Su kept a close eye on her and she didn't dare to do anything too extreme. Occasionally, she would The fish that slipped through the net allowed several concubines to give birth to bastards.
She is not that old. She was in poor health and had problems with having children. As a result, as soon as she regained her health, King Ke was obsessed with Ye Zhenzhen. Even her sister from her mother's family tried to get a piece of the pie. She has been depressed. Heart, it will be even more difficult for heirs.
Ye Zhenzhen was glared at by Princess Ke for no reason. She felt very baffled. She was just eating and watching a show, so why did she provoke her?
But, having said that, did the Empress bring up this topic on purpose? After all, those who become emperors hope that their descendants will be prosperous and their country will last forever. Prince Ke's palace does not even have a legitimate son, which obviously does not meet the requirements.
You don't need to observe to know that Emperor Xuanwu must have been even more dissatisfied with King Ke at this time.
It can be said that King Ke and the others have never been popular since they entered Fengming Palace.
Ye Zhenzhen secretly gloated, but what she didn't expect was that King Wei actually spoke up for him: "Seventh brother is in his prime, so there is no need to worry about the issue of heirs. As sons and ministers, we naturally regard the king and father as our top priority. Running errands for my father is the most important thing."
Not only Ye Zhenzhen was surprised, but even King Ke seemed a little confused, his brows furrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Facts have proved that Emperor Xuanwu was very satisfied with King Wei's words and had a slight smile on his face: "Get married first and then establish a career. How can the world be peaceful if the family is not harmonious?"
The hall suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Everyone didn't even dare to take a breath for fear of destroying the mystery of this moment. They couldn't help but start to figure out Emperor Xuanwu's words - what does this mean? Is it some special hint?
Almost every scholar has said these words: "Qi family, peace in the world", but how can it be the same as ordinary scholars after coming from an emperor?
He specifically said these words to his two sons who are most capable of seizing the heir. Isn't this a hint?
It is undeniable that some people's hearts are beginning to become chaotic.
