As the power of the Jin Dynasty grew stronger, Jiang Changning received more invitations, which led her to attend banquets in various governments.

Eating dishes of similar taste, watching the same opera excerpts, and chatting about the same topics with the same group of people.

Just when Jiang Changning was tired of dealing with it, rumors spread in Beijing that the Empress Dowager and the Regent were secretly having an affair.

Based on Jiang Changning's understanding of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would never do such a thing. However, the rumors spread more and more fiercely, and some people even have noses and eyes.

Jiang Changning still didn't believe it, but some people came to her and suggested that the person having an affair with the Queen Mother was the Prince of Jin, "There are four regents, why do they think they are my prince?"

"Who makes my cousin the most handsome?" Yan Yinyao said with a smile.

"Have you ever heard of a saying that only those who are ugly can have fun, but those who are handsome should keep themselves clean?"

Yan Yinyao couldn't help but laugh, "Cousin, if you want to praise my cousin, just do it directly, no need to beat around the bush."

"I didn't praise him, I just talked about it."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The aunt and sister-in-law regarded this matter as a joke, but Jiang Changning did not expect that the Queen Mother did not have such thoughts, but Concubine Song Gui did.

Concubine Song Gui wanted to be the Queen Mother and to be on an equal footing with the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother firmly disagreed. She used the name of the late emperor to raise the emperor and prevent the emperor from getting too close to the Queen Mother.

The empress dowager holds the title, and the noble concubine Song controls the emperor. The two are at odds with each other. In addition, the empress dowager who comes out to act evil from time to time makes the harem a mess.

Both Prince Qing and Prince De were bad old men in their fifties. No matter how much Concubine Song wanted to be the Queen Mother, she could not tolerate them.

Prince Jin was the person that my cousin longed for, and he still refused to give up despite repeated setbacks. Concubine Song did not want to cause a sister-in-law fight over her husband.

After three of the four were eliminated, only King Yu remained. Concubine Song, under the pretext that the emperor was ill, ordered people to invite King Yu into the palace.

"Why is Your Majesty sick again?" King Yu was not in a hurry to go. Concubine Song's various gestures of intimacy made him both frightened and proud.

Among the four regents, he is the weakest, so King Qing will try his best to make him a prince regent, just to unite him to fight against King Deok and King Jin.

King Yu was always thinking about making his power greater, and Princess Song tried to win over her. King Yu did not refuse, and he also deliberately became ambiguous with Princess Song.

The rumors in Beijing that the Empress Dowager and the Prince Regent secretly communicated about music are false, but it is true that the Imperial Concubine and the Prince Regent were flirting with each other.

Concubine Song once again sent someone to invite her, and King Yu went without hesitation.

Two people came out from the corner of the palace, it was King Jin and Chang Youzhong.

Looking at King Yu's back, King Jin's eyes were solemn and he said, "Go and ask someone to inform the Queen Mother to catch the traitor." The Regent doesn't need four. The time is right and he can take action.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chang Youzhong replied.

King Jin entered the Qinzheng Hall and saw King Qing and King De drinking tea. He cupped his hands and said, "How do you two, uncles?"

Then he pretended to be true: "King Yu is late today. He has not come yet at this hour."

Here King Yu entered the emperor's palace. Concubine Song was talking to the imperial doctor. Seeing King Yu coming, she said: "Please tell Prince Yu about His Majesty's condition, so that he and others will not worry."

The imperial doctor saluted King Yu and said, "Your Majesty caught a cold while sleeping last night. He took the medicine and fell asleep. There is no serious problem."

King Yu frowned, "How do the people around your majesty serve your majesty? How can they let your majesty catch a cold?"

"The one who usually stays by your Majesty's side is the nanny. The Queen Mother said that your majesty is a man and should not be so dependent on a woman, so she sent a small chamberlain to serve your majesty. This little chambermaid is as good as the nanny.

Be careful, this will cause Your Majesty to catch a cold." Concubine Song Gui sighed.

Listening obediently, King Yu instantly understood what Concubine Song Gui meant. He pondered for a moment and said: "If you are so unsatisfied in your duties, you should be held accountable. I will pull her down and give her thirty more blows."

"Did you hear what the prince said? Take them down." Princess Song gave a shy smile to Prince Yu, "Thank you, prince, for making the decision for my mother and son."

"The imperial concubine is too polite, and I am frightened. It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries." King Yu had a business-like attitude.

"Mr. Tu, go and make some medicine for His Majesty." Concubine Song sent the doctor away, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and he looks thinner than before."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Prince Yu said with cupped hands.

"Although government affairs are important, the prince's health is even more important. I heard that the prince is so busy that he can't even take care of his meals. This is not good." Concubine Song Gui walked up to Prince Yu and said with concern.

"What the noble concubine said is that I will pay attention to it in the future." Prince Yu did not step away, but took a step forward. The two of them were only one step away, and he could smell the fragrance of her body.

Concubine Song Gui said with a smile: "Seeing that it is lunch time, I have asked the imperial kitchen to prepare food for the prince. After the prince has used it, he can go to work."

"The noble concubine is interested." Prince Yu still looked serious.

The palace maid came to report, "My dear concubine, lunch has been set. Please go to the Plum Appreciation Pavilion with your prince."

"Your Majesty, please." Princess Song said sweetly.

"Your Majesty, please."

The Plum Blossom Pavilion is a two-story building. Sitting on the attic, you can enjoy the plum blossoms all around.

Climbing up the stairs, Princess Song deliberately twisted her waist in front of King Yu.

King Yu's eyes were filled with anger. He was already a flirtatious person, and Princess Song's seductive attitude made him even more distracted.

There was a banquet table on the attic, and the two of them sat down. Princess Song waved away the eunuchs and maids on both sides, and looked at him lovingly, "Your Majesty, I will pour you some wine."

"Thank you, Concubine." King Yu brought the cup to her.

"Don't call me your concubine, call me by my maiden name." Concubine Song said in a cooing voice.

King Yu hesitated for a moment, "Yiyiyiliu."

"Your Majesty, drink. This wine is barley wine brewed by me myself. It is brewed using ancient methods. Please savor it carefully." Concubine Song said with a special meaning.

King Yu smelled the wine and said, "The wine is fragrant, mellow and attractive. It will definitely make you enchanted when you drink it."

"Your Majesty is indeed a good drinker." Concubine Song Gui opened some of her clothes, revealing her charming collarbone.

Looking at the alluring Concubine Song, Prince Yu became even more dizzy and drank the wine in one gulp. "Yiliu, you are so beautiful."

Princess Song smiled, stood up slowly, walked around behind Prince Yu, put her jade-like fingers on his shoulders, leaned close to his ear, and breathed like orchid, "Xia Lang."

Prince Yu was about to put this fairy-like woman into his arms when he heard a sharp shout from below: "Get out of here!"

This sound is

The Queen Mother!

King Yu's expression changed greatly, "Why did the Queen Mother come here?"

"She went to the Zhai Temple, how could she come back to the palace so quickly?" Concubine Song Gui was also shocked. She finally found the opportunity.

Is it possible that this is a trap set up by the Queen Mother?

King Yu heard the footsteps going upstairs and said anxiously: "I have to get out of here."

This is the only way out of this attic. If King Yu wants to leave, he has no choice but to jump off the building.

"I'm going to stop her, you go quickly." Concubine Song Gui arranged her clothes and went to stop her.
