After sending off Xuanyuan Yvzhen, the Crown Prince directly went to the Kunning Palace. The empress also smiled when she saw the Crown Prince. For the affairs of the Crown Prince in court, occasionally, Emperor Hongjia would tell her when he came here.
She also knew that if it wasn't for Xuanyuan Yvzhen's help, her son wouldn't have been able to secure his position as the Crown Prince. There were too many people eyeing this position covetously. One of them was no doubt Xuanyuan Yvfan.
Although she and Concubine Yi didn't get along well, it didn't mean that she couldn't understand what was going on in the harem. Moreover, Concubine Yi had the Lu clan behind her. Fortunately, there were still many people supporting the Crown Prince in the court.
"Mother, greetings!" The Crown Prince looked at the empress and said respectfully, "it has been a long time since I visited you last time."
"Son, don't say that. I know you are not dealing with the affairs in the court." The empress looked at the Crown Prince and said seriously, "after all, they all want you to quit the position of the Crown Prince, so that the Second Prince can inherit it."
The Crown Prince looked at the empress and nodded earnestly. "That's what the Fourth Prince has been worried about."
The empress appreciated the Crown Prince's words. "Son, although the imperial concubine and I are not in a good relationship, I know the Fourth Prince is being sincere to help you."
Hearing the empress's words, the Crown Prince nodded seriously. "Of course I know that, so I don't take it seriously." The Crown Prince looked at the empress and took out the bamboo slip. "This is what the Fourth Prince gave me. Mother, you can also have a look."
The empress took the bamboo slip from the Crown Prince. She was surprised to see the news. She didn't expect that the news on the paper was so unacceptable for her.
"Was it really the Fourth Prince who gave it to you?" The empress looked at the Crown Prince and asked seriously, "I don't know many of these things. How did he know?"
The Crown Prince shook his head. "Actually, Junzhu Leyi gave it to the Fourth Prince, and then he gave it to me."
"You mean Junzhu Leyi?" The empress looked at the Crown Prince in astonishment and said, "that's impossible. It's not something that such a young girl can know."
"Mother, maybe Murong Shizi did it. After all, they are both friends with the Fourth Prince. Besides, didn't you once admit that the Junzhu is a powerful person?"
Hearing what the Crown Prince said, the empress was speechless. She suddenly realized that Junzhu was not as simple as she thought she was. Perhaps she came to help the Crown Prince with other purposes.
"Son, do you think I can have a meet with Junzhu?" The empress looked at the Crown Prince and asked seriously, "don't worry. I don't have any bad intentions. I just want to see this Junzhu."
"Mother, you should know that Junzhu has a good relationship with the imperial concubine. If I want to see her, you might need to get her own permission first." The Crown Prince looked at the empress and stated seriously, "Mother, I suggest you call summon Junzhu yourself."
Hearing what the Crown Prince said, the empress nodded seriously. "It's also a good idea."
"Mother, my princess is the adopted daughter of the imperial concubine. If you discuss it with the imperial concubine, Junzhu might also be willing to see you." The Crown Prince looked at the empress and said seriously, "after all, she won't refuse the request of the imperial concubine."
Hearing what the Crown Prince said, the empress nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, son. I will handle this myself."
