. She just couldn't bear to see such a handsome face showing such a pitiful expression. She quickly put down the large purple [object] and pulled up a stool to sit beside Mo Yunjing, taking his hand...Mo Yunze thought more and more that this wouldn't do.

Such a woman mustn't be allowed to remain by her father emperor's side, lest something happen overnight.

The more he thought about it, the stronger the murderous intent in Mo Yunze's eyes became.

He gritted his teeth, remained silent for a while, and then suddenly turned to the strategist beside him, asking in a cold voice, "How many of our informants are still left in the palace"

When the strategist heard Mo Yunze's words, his expression immediately tightened.

Having been by Mo Yunze's side for many years, the moment Mo Yunze uttered those words, he immediately guessed what he intended to do.

Then silence fell for a moment. The strategist wore a grave expression before carefully speaking, "Your Highness, we should not act rashly. We have yet to uncover the new concubine's true identity. If we move prematurely, there is a risk that His Majesty will discover our informant within the palace. Given His Majesty's temperament, he would undoubtedly unleash his fury and target you personally."

Among the people around Mo Yunze, only this strategist dared to speak the truth.

After all, he had been by Mo Yunze's side for many years, and Mo Yunze trusted him very much. So only he could say these words that would boost others' morale and diminish his own prestige without incurring a fatal consequence.

As expected, after the strategist finished speaking, the raging fire in Mo Yunze's heart was instantly doused like water being poured over it.

He gritted his teeth, "Then are we just going to choose to do nothing Let this woman continue her rampage and dominate the palace"

Even the strategists knew that the prince would need to vent his anger after today's humiliation.

After a moment of thought, he came up with something and said, "Your Highness, we need to wait."

"Waiting for what" Mo Yunze's cold eyes narrowed slightly. "Waiting for what"

"Your Highness, you must know that woman is now in the palace. She certainly won't be content with being merely a concubine. According to my information, Your Majesty hasn't visited any other concubines' chambers for quite some time."

"I haven't been to Kunning Palace in ages. Your Highness just needs to wait for the other concubines to team up against that new noble consort, once they start fighting amongst themselves, our people can secretly fan the flames and make things worse. Then, at a crucial moment, we can strike."

"Your Highness, now we can't leave any more handles, otherwise Your Majesty will be even more dissatisfied with you. So Your Highness must be careful with your words and actions, at least until the position of Crown Prince is confirmed, do not make any further mistakes."

After all, everything they did was for the throne.

Now only remnants of those princes remain, some crippled and others dead.

Although the Fifth Prince Mo Yunjing seemed unremarkable and even powerful, Mo Yunjing had been hated by the Emperor for many years.

The Emperor has done so much harm to Mo Yunjing. Knowing the Emperor as he does, even if Mo Yunjing were powerful enough, the Emperor would never give him the position of Crown Prince.

Therefore, as things stand, the only one most likely to inherit the throne is Their Highness.

The more critical the moment, the more Their Highness cannot afford to make any mistakes. At least, they must not leave any handle for the Emperor to hate them in front of him.

Now everyone knows the Emperor cares most for the newly appointed noble consort. Their highnesses certainly can't foolishly rush forward and openly deal with the new noble consort.

Otherwise, not only would the new Noble Consort hold a grudge against their Prince Consort, even the Emperor wouldn't let them off.

After the strategist finished speaking, Mo Yunze indeed held back his immediate urge to make a move.

His eyes blazed with anger as he gritted his teeth, "Very well. Have them keep a closer watch on the inner palace. Report to me immediately if anything happens."

The strategist bowed, "Yes, Your Highness."

......

I have to say, the strategist of Mo Yunze was absolutely right about everything.

The concubines in the harem were indeed becoming restless.

Previously, there were two imperial concubines, Liu and Hua. Suddenly, two more imperial concubines arrived. At the time, everyone wanted to see these two new imperial concubines and find trouble with them.

At that time, the emperor was very attentive, and neither Liu Gui Fei nor the so-called Hua Gui Fei managed to successfully scheme against him.

Luckily, the emperor's novelty wore off quickly. Although the two noble consorts were well protected by the emperor, during that period, he would occasionally visit other concubines' palaces and stay overnight.

No matter how much the Emperor favored the two new concubines who had entered the palace, he would still go to the Kunning Palace on the designated day, giving the Empress her due respect.

Ever since this so-called Chi Guifei entered the palace, not only has she been very mysterious, but the emperor has also assigned a number of imperial guards to protect her.

It is hereby decreed that no concubine shall disturb this esteemed Noble Consort Chi.

The most infuriating thing is that after this Zhi Guifei entered the palace, the Emperor never set foot in any other concubine's quarters, let alone stayed overnight.

At first, everyone thought the Emperor wouldn't be patient with this noble consort Zhi for long.

After so long, everyone discovered that the Emperor did not naturally distance himself from Zhi Guifei as he had before, but instead became increasingly inseparable from her.

The Emperor even issued an imperial decree, allowing this Noble Consort Chi to go to the Imperial Study whenever she pleased and enter without reporting at any time.

This is unprecedented in the imperial harem.

Even the Empress, as the mistress of the harem, had to obtain the emperor's permission to enter the imperial study. What was the origin of that noble consort, Zhi

She has only been in the palace for so long, and she can make the emperor go to such lengths, pampered like this!

Gradually, the concubines in the harem began to get restless.

Especially the Empress, fearing that the Emperor would be blinded by the fox spirit and ultimately jeopardize her position as the mistress of the harem.

After enduring for many days, I finally couldn't take it anymore.

She immediately sent someone to investigate the origins of this Concubine Zhi, but after days of searching, they found no leads.

And every subordinate sent out never returned. The Empress unleashed a furious tirade in the Kunning Palace.

And Mo Rongyan, from the Princess Residence, had already learned of her mother's recent low spirits. Today just happened to be the day she entered the palace.

From her own mother, she learned that the newly appointed noble consort was like a clingy goblin, constantly pestering her father emperor day and night. This had caused her father emperor to not set foot in the Kunning Palace for a long time.

The always-demanding and unreasonable Mo Rongyan couldn't swallow this humiliation.

At that moment, she looked at her mother's tear-filled eyes and suddenly stood up.

Furious, he slammed the teacup in his hand onto the ground and gritted his teeth, "Mother, please don't be so pessimistic. She's just a little demoness, I refuse to believe I can't control her."

After saying that, Mo Rongyan immediately took her several maids and hurried out.

Seeing her posture, Empress Hu Jinfeng's face changed immediately. She stood up and stopped her, saying, "Yaner, don't be so impulsive first. We don't know the background of that woman yet. The people we sent these days haven't returned alive. Going to her door rashly will only leave us at a disadvantage."

Although she said so, Mo Rongyan still didn't believe it. She didn't think anyone in the palace dared to harm her, the princess. laugh first, this matter can be big or small. Once we fight, wouldn't our situation be very dangerous Mo Yunchen isn't going to rebel, is he What do you think about his rebellion No matter where the...
