The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 233. Emperor Pei An Long Actually Knows
"Your Majesty, the woman has made a move. They're probably gonna execute their plans tonight." Mo Han came and whispered in Pei Zhang Xi's ear even though they were inside the closed workroom.
"I understand." Pei Zhang Xi nodded lightly. "Then is there any news from our spies?" Continue without distracting from the file he is examining. Several teams formed and deployed in various regions began to submit their work reports. Although some of them did not find anything conspicuous, some others found some suspicious traces. Actually, to Pei Zhang Xi, the results of this report were not that important. Because he always receives a full report from his subordinates every day. Yet he still had to read and study every report that had been sent to him.
"As His Majesty had guessed before, after the team was formed and started combing the Dark Moon forest, they immediately accelerated their pace."
"That's good too. With them speeding up their movements, the sooner this matter is resolved."
"Your Majesty is right."
"Then what about the movement from the outside?" Pei Zhang Xi furrowed his brows.
"When those inside speed up their steps, outside help is also immediately brought in."
"I've long suspected the little kingdom of wanting to carry out a rebellion, but I really didn't expect that they would even dare to collude against us." Pei Zhang Xi muttered clearly before continuing. "How many troops did they send?"
"According to our spies, two thousand troops on horseback and three thousand on foot. Moreover, a few days ago, they had sent weapons into the forest."
"It seems like my good brother has put all his strength into suppressing me this time." Pei Zhang Xi nodded his head again. His eyes narrowed with a perceived unwillingness.
Mo Han didn't say anything. But his face was filled with curiosity that could not be easily covered.
"Is there anything else?" Pei Zhang Xi furrowed his brows as he glanced at Mo Han who was still not leaving after passing on the information he wanted. It was already afternoon, he wanted to finish his work immediately and go home to meet his wife and son. Even though he was used to being noticed by someone let alone just Mo Han who was always beside him, if stared intensively like that, everyone even someone who had gotten used to would also still feel uncomfortable.
Mo Han hesitated for a moment before finally daring to ask. Against her fear to satisfy her curiosity.
"Your Majesty, this is about His Majesty the Emperor.... Are we... We're not doing anything? What if Consort Qiao managed to obtain the Eagle token as planned?"
"no need. Even though Father Emperor looked stupid on an ordinary day, he was still an Emperor who always had a backup plan up his sleeve." Hearing Pei Zhang Xi's reply, the corner of Mo Han's mouth twitched and did not know what to say. Only Pei Zhang Xi thought Emperor Pei An Long was stupid and said in a loud voice.
Meanwhile, Mu Dong had arrived in front of the Emperor's study room and was waiting to meet. Shortly waiting, Eunuch Song let him in after reporting for a while.
"Honor Your Majesty's Servant." Mu Dong bowed without daring to raise his face in front of Emperor Pei An Long.
"Wakeup. What did concubine Qiao send you here for?" Emperor Pei An Long waved his hand as his gaze swept over Mu Dong who was still lowering his head.
"Your Majesty, I have come to present an invitation from concubine Qiao. Tonight is the night of the full moon, a great time to see the moon. The Madam noticed that His Majesty has been very busy lately and took the initiative to comfort His Majesty by inviting His Majesty to enjoy not together accompanied by Guzheng music. Hence the madam had trained Guzheng since morning to be able to entertain and hope to reduce a little of His Majesty's burden." Mu Dong had been experienced and quite eloquent. He knows how to talk.
"yeah. It seems like I have indeed not heard Ling'er play Guzheng for a very long time. Tonight he has invited me to come, of course I will not disappoint him. Tell your mistress that I'll come tonight." Emperor Pei An Long said as he looked at Mu Dong.
"Go." Emperor Pei An Long waved his hand to let Mu Dong out. After Mu Dong completely disappeared from behind the door, his indifferent look had turned cold.
Ever since he decided to build the Harem in his palace, he had been determined that he would try to treat all his wives as fairly as possible. As much as possible he divided his time between his wives to avoid disputes. But even so, everything is very difficult to do.
As is known, within an Empire, the existence of a Harem was something very important. Although sometimes bloody scenes often occur there due to competition between women, from the harem the qualified princes come. Since ancient times, everyone believed that the more descendants an Emperor, the more prosperous the empire would become. It refers to the successor of the Empire. With the many princes that the Emperor had, it would be easy to choose the most suitable candidate.
But what they ignored was that the Harem was not just a place to give birth to a successor, but it was also a more ruthless place from the battlefield where these women would compete for the Emperor's affection and support.
So even though Emperor Pei An Long had attempted to be fair among his wives, there would still be those who felt jealous of each other. Otherwise, how could Consort Su have the title of Beloved Concubine? After all another fact that cannot be ignored is that, although these women always make statements that they are brothers, their disputes are very real.
Moreover, after these wives one by one began to get pregnant and give birth to babies for him, they began to attack each other in the dark.
However even though he heard some quarrels inside the Harem, he always allowed Queen Zhu to take care of it for him. That was why he finally chose to make Zhu Qing Yi his queen because out of all his wives, only Zhu Qing Yi had the qualifications of being a domineering Queen. As for Consort Su, with her naive and innocent nature, she was worried that her beloved concubine would even drown on her first day as Queen.
Like the quarrel a few days ago between Consort Yu and Consort Xiu to make the face of concubine Xiu injured and concubine Xiu sent to the Temple, he also finds out but does nothing but visit the injured Consort Xiu and show his attention.
As long as it was not outrageous, Emperor Pei An Long would still tolerate it.
But lately he had discovered some of the violations that Consort Qiao had committed. Pei Zhang Xi had also informed him of the reality that had happened to him and learned that his Son along with Qiao Ling had the intention to rebel.
Although he vehemently denied, all the evidence was in front of him so he had no reason not to believe it. Emperor Pei An Long began to deploy his hidden army, his Eagle army to examine everyone closely.
"Ling'er, I really hope you won't let me down." Emperor Pei An Long's mutter squeezed his hand.
