The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 335

[Chapter 335: The Queen’s Ambition]

Fan Aiqing had already expected that the emperor would be furious when he heard the news, but he didn’t expect that he would be so angry, so he was trembling with fear.

“Tell me, tell me how to calm me down?”

The emperor was so angry that if he had a beard, he would be so angry that his beard would be curled up.

This beast riot is not a trivial matter. There are dozens of injured people, and there are also several people who were bitten to death.

That’s a living life!

I thought it was just a coincidence, but I didn’t expect that someone really interfered.

Almost subconsciously, the emperor thought that it was the trick of King Anding, and even wanted to send troops to fight against it.

But in the end he calmed down. The current situation is not suitable for war.

And this matter may not be done by King Anding.

“Your Majesty, calm down, don’t worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly!”

The Dali Temple Minister wiped the sweat from his forehead frantically, and kept kowtowing to assure the emperor.

But even so, he couldn’t calm the emperor’s anger, and his face was still ugly.

“I will only give you one month. You must thoroughly investigate this matter. Let’s put aside the matter of the eldest prince for now!”

The emperor said after a short pause.

He also asked him to put aside the matter of Su Lin visiting the brothel.

Compared with Su Lin’s private affairs, the matter of the beast riot is more important.

Besides, there is now solid evidence. Even if it cannot be thoroughly investigated, it is not a problem to put Su Lin in solitary confinement for a month.

“Your Majesty obeys your order.”

The Dali Temple Minister kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead. Although he felt that one month was too little time, he could not refute it.

After all, the emperor was in a rage now. If he was not satisfied with anything, he would lose his life.

So he could only agree obediently, and it was considered as swallowing his anger and blood.

“Okay, you can leave!”

The emperor pressed his brows helplessly. He knew that this matter might not be completed in one month, but he had to give some time to make the Dali Temple feel oppressed.

Otherwise, they would not have tried their best to investigate.

The emperor had a premonition that this matter would definitely involve many forces in the capital. If he did not put pressure on the Dali Temple, he might not be able to find out clearly.

Fan Aiqing quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the emperor did not continue to embarrass him, nor did he ask him to continue to investigate the matter of the eldest prince.

He had already caused bad luck to many people by investigating those things. If he continued, he would probably make many enemies.

However, it was not easy to investigate the beast riot, so he could only bite the bullet and investigate it.

Otherwise, it would not only offend those forces, but also the emperor sitting on the dragon throne!

At this time, Fan Aiqing was in a dilemma, but there was no way.

This was his duty as an official.

As for Lin Tian…

Fan Aiqing’s eyes deepened. The impression left on him by the previous time when Lin Tian was sued to the county government by Zhu Jinquan was still there.

He thought it was just a merchant family, but he didn’t expect that Lin Tian had a relationship with the emperor somewhere. He

was even appreciated by the emperor. Now he has been promoted to the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Works, and he is about to surpass him!

How can he not be jealous? !

It’s a pity that he can only be jealous.

Let’s look at the other side, the harem.

“The emperor still refuses to see me?”

The queen sat on the couch with some anger and asked the maid in charge beside her.

The maid carefully looked at the queen’s face and answered in a low voice.

“Replying to the queen, Shun Gong said that the emperor is busy with court affairs today, and I’m afraid he can’t see you.”

The maid carefully considered her words, fearing that she would do something wrong and make the queen angry.

It’s a pity that the queen was in a bad mood at this time.

“What do you mean by busy with court affairs? It’s obvious that you don’t like me!”

The queen slapped the table and felt unwilling.

It’s been so many years, and the emperor has always treated her with respect, without even a trace of love.

But she is a woman after all,

and she needs the nourishment of emotions. Although she knows that she must give up her feelings after marrying into the emperor’s family, she and the emperor are a young couple, and they can fall in love with each other over time.

However, there are thousands of women in the harem, and she has long been old and faded among those young faces.

How could she accept this?

Since she couldn’t get love, she had to get power.

At least she had to get power and the king’s favor. Otherwise, what was the point of her being the queen for so many years?

This position was stained with blood. Along the way, she had lost count of how many lives she had taken.

In order to keep this position and to secure the position of the empress, she had put in a lot of thought, just to allow her Lin’er to sit on the throne.

But now the emperor seems to mean that he does not intend to make the eldest prince the crown prince. Doesn’t that mean that all her previous efforts have been in vain?

“Your Highness may not think so. The eldest prince has angered the emperor, and it is reasonable for the emperor to be a little angry! After all, you are the master of the harem, and the emperor will come to see you in a few days!”

But the head maid has been following the queen for more than ten years, and she can tell what the queen is thinking with just a little guess.

After all, she is the queen, and the emperor still has to come to the harem every first and fifteenth day of the month.

What’s more, it is reasonable for the emperor to be angry when the eldest prince has caused such a thing.

“That’s right… If the emperor doesn’t want to, I can only think of another way.”

The queen sighed. She couldn’t confront the emperor head-on in her current situation.

So she could only sit and wait, and find another way to ease the emperor’s mood.

“Don’t worry, your majesty. The emperor is just angry for a moment. Maybe he will calm down tomorrow!”

The maid persuaded her kindly.

It has indeed been a long time. No matter how angry he is, he should calm down.

“You are the only one who knows how to talk! Serve me to rest!”

The queen thought about it and realized that it was not a good idea to be so impatient now. She could only stay calm. She

was a little tired after such a temper tantrum, so she asked the head aunt to serve her to rest first.

“Yes.”

The maid bowed.

When the queen woke up in the afternoon, she immediately received the news that the emperor had ordered the eldest prince to be confined for a month.

“Fortunately, it’s only one month!”

The queen patted her chest and her mood finally stabilized.

A month of confinement only prevented him from leaving the palace, which was not particularly troublesome.

The head maid next to her kept saying nice things to make the queen happy, while the queen was thinking about what to do next.

After dinner, the eunuch from the Jingshifang suddenly came.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Emperor will be coming tonight. Please wait for him.”

The eunuch said, congratulating the Queen with a happy face.
