C92 Behind the scenes

"Prince Qing, do you know what you just said? "You can't trust the words of the Ghost God …"

Imperial Concubine did not know about the grudge between Prince Qing and Du Jinse, and only thought that Prince Qing saw Du Jinse's soul when he said those words.

Prince Qing knew that his imperial concubine had misunderstood him.

"Princess Qing did not die. She left the Prince Qing’s Manor and hid within the Prince Mo’s Manor."

The Prince Qing explained.

Imperial Concubine stretched out her hand to stop Prince Qing from speaking further.

"Wait, what did you say? Princess Qing didn't die? Who is that woman from the Imperial clan's shrine? "

The Imperial Consort immediately grasped the main point.

Prince Qing's expression changed, "It's just a maidservant in my residence."

The imperial concubine pointed at Prince Qing but was unable to say a word. Only after a long while did she manage to catch her breath.

"Just what did you do behind my back? How did Princess Qing get off scot-free and run off to Prince Mo’s Manor?"

Prince Qing did not want to talk about this.

The imperial concubine looked at Prince Qing in pain, "What the hell are you doing? Are you still hiding this from me?"

Prince Qing looked at the Imperial Concubine's eyes and his heart softened. He lowered his head and said, "royal father says that we must keep this matter a secret from everyone, otherwise it won't work."

The more the imperial concubine heard, the more shocked she became.

"Is there anything else about the Emperor?"

The Prince Qing shook her head, "The royal father only sighed at the I, saying that the Prime Minister Du has authority over the imperial court. Currently, most of the people in the imperial court are his disciples, and the people only know of the Prime Minister Du, not the Emperor above the Prime Minister Du."

Imperial Concubine laughed coldly. When she first entered the palace, the emperor had said the same thing to her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" If he had told her, she would have stopped him.

Prince Qing pursed his lips without saying a word.

He was too eager to prove it to his imperial concubine.

Imperial Concubine had instilled some ideas in him since she was young. She made him understand that he was not as noble as the crowd envied him. After she left the imperial power, he had nothing.

He was clearly such an easy person to chase after his name, yet he had to act indifferent to it. The conflict in his heart was not to be trifled with by outsiders.

Imperial Concubine's gaze was locked onto Prince Qing. She knew that his son had started to distance himself from her, but she never thought that he would actually be willing to approach the Emperor rather than tell her the truth.

"Do you know how the Queen died? And how did Consort De die? "

The Imperial Consort suddenly lost her temper.

She was the one who personally pushed her son over to the emperor's side, but didn't teach him. Even so, the royal family didn't have any feelings for father and son.

Prince Qing raised his head and looked at the imperial concubine in confusion.

Why did you mention the two dead people?

The Imperial Concubine's face twisted, as if she had thought of something that she was afraid of. She held onto Prince Qing's hand tightly.

"Huai, don't trust your majesty." He was not a man, he was a devil, and he loved no one but himself.

"Mufei." Prince Qing frowned, he was here again.

When the Imperial Concubine saw Prince Qing's patient expression, she slowly loosened her grip on him.

The Imperial Consort only felt extremely tired.

In this palace, she had always struggled alone. No one could understand her fear, even when Prince Qing crawled out from her stomach, they were still unable to stand on the same front as her.

The Imperial Consort gradually returned to her usual cold demeanor.

"Mufei knows that you don't like Miss Du, but if you don't do it properly, why would she faked her death and run to the Prince Mo’s Manor to become a maidservant?" Imperial Concubine didn't want to force Prince Qing, but this matter was extremely strange. Especially when Li Huai had accidentally leaked a bit of information that made her panic.

She had to find out.

Seeing that the Prince Qing did not seem to reply her, she could not help but plead.

"Huai'er, everyone in this world will have enmity towards you, only mufei is willing to die for you, do you understand?"

Prince Qing couldn't help but look up at the imperial concubine. Seeing her sad gaze, his heart softened.

The more the imperial concubine heard, the more shocked she became.

The Emperor had long planned on dealing with the Prime Minister Du, but he wasn't in the imperial court, he was using such a despicable method.

However, this was very much in line with the Emperor's style.

The pitiful Huai'er was treated as a target and did not know it.

This matter, regardless of whether it was a success or not, Huai'er would be the first to bear the brunt of it.

The Emperor was already dissatisfied with the Prime Minister Du, but he kept showing an expression of trust towards him.

Who would believe that the emperor had long wanted to do something to him? They would only think that it was his Huai'er who had a grudge against the Prime Minister because of his forced marriage.

Imperial Concubine covered her chest. It was all her fault. If she had told Huai'er what sort of person the emperor was from the very beginning, would he not have made such a mistake?

If this matter were to succeed, and according to the Emperor's actions, Huai'er would bear the brunt of the attack and would be affected by it. Huai'er would not be what he had promised him, and would instead be called storage monarch.

Imperial Concubine looked at Prince Qing who had a face full of regret. Forget it, now that she told him all this, he definitely wouldn't believe her.

However, if everything went well, Du Jinse's reputation would be ruined, her corpse would be thrown into the wilderness, the Prime Minister Du would plead guilty and would be killed along the way. She would not need a maidservant to replace her life and enter the Imperial Ancestral Hall.

None of this was the Emperor's doing.

"There's a master behind us, who would be this master?" The Imperial Consort murmured.

Prince Qing finally felt that her imperial concubine was thinking the same way as he was, "This child originally suspected that there was a spy in my house who leaked my plan to Prince Rong. But if that's the case, Prince Rong wouldn't even come here."

The consort nodded.

The Prince Qing received the encouragement and continued: "It can't be the Prime Minister Du. If it wasn't for I boasting, then Du Jinse would have chosen the I as her leader since she entered our Prince Qing’s Manor, and would have avoided the Du Family."

After saying this, the Prince Qing looked at her in embarrassment.

If Du Jinse was really as he said, why would she feed him the medicinal wine, why would she lock the door, and allow his medicinal strength to take effect, why would she leave the Prince Qing’s Manor, and become his proper domestic prostitute, rather than be his proper Princess Qing?

The imperial concubine seemed to not have noticed Prince Qing's awkwardness and was slightly lost in thought.

"Du Jinse, that child doesn't have much of a heart, I likes him from the very beginning. Her mother originally could have been a great help to you, but after you engaged to Miss Du, I repeatedly expressed goodwill towards you …"

The imperial concubine regained her senses and looked at Prince Qing, firmly shaking her head. "It wasn't his doing."

She was able to know so many secrets of the emperor but was still kept by his side. Naturally, she had her own protective abilities.

Seeing that the imperial concubine did not seem to notice his awkwardness, Prince Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

"I is also sure that it's not Prime Minister Du's doing. If he knew, he would only let Du Jinse leave the I, or kill Du Jinse before anything happened. It just didn't happen."

"He's neither a Prince Rong nor a Prime Minister Du, could he still be an Emperor?" The Imperial Consort replied.

However, she and Prince Qing knew clearly in their hearts that this was simply impossible.

She was certain that Huai'er hadn't threatened his throne yet, so naturally, he wouldn't make a move against him at this time.

However, Prince Qing knew that the Emperor was more looking forward to this matter than him.

"Du Jinse."
