In fact, Concubine Chen has already made speculations, but these speculations have nothing to do with Li Yuezhu.

They were trapped in this temple, which was actually just a temporary measure. A few years ago, Xiao Ran was imprisoned here in the name of colluding with the Dongyue Kingdom.

At that time, it was just suspicion. Concubine Wan Gui took the lead, and the old emperor was eyeing Concubine Chen and her natal family. In addition, the old emperor did not have a close feeling for his seventh son, Xiao Ran.

After all, Xiao Ran was not excellent in all aspects and was always causing trouble. The old emperor regarded him as dispensable.

Because there was no evidence, the old emperor was still worried, so he trapped them here and was forgotten for several years.

Concubine Chen is also happy with this. After all, she is far away from the political whirlpool and her life here is very pure.

She just pitied her son. Xiao Ran had been a good, obedient and sensible boy since he was a child. In order to live longer, Xiao Ran had been naughty and troublemaker since he was a child. He didn't study well and His Majesty didn't know anything about it.

After so many years, the reputation of the Seventh Prince Xiao Ran has long been infamous in the capital, and few people can think highly of him.

For the young Xiao Ran, he also wanted to express himself. He had hidden it for such a long time. Xiao Ran tried his best to get everyone's approval, but now was not the time.

"There is a secret passage here."

Concubine Chen answered very calmly.

"Mother and concubine have known this for a long time?"

"You disappear for so long every day. If I hadn't provided you with cover, do you think you could have hidden yourself till now?"

Concubine Chen knew her son very well. She did not believe that Xiao Ran, with his character, would stay in this prison-like temple for such a long time.

"That's true. There's something else that the mother-in-law may not know about."

Xiao Ran smiled: "At least half of the people in this temple belong to us. My son has not been idle in recent years. My son has also made a lot of efforts in these years."

Concubine Chen was really shocked this time. The monks in this temple have all been screened at all levels. It is conceivable that many of the people here are spies sent in by outsiders. Under such circumstances, Xiao Ran can actually

He has really grown up by quietly taking them for his own use.

"When did you start preparing?"

"From the first day he came in, my son has put a lot of thought into making his mother and concubine's life here more comfortable."

Concubine Chen looked at such an outstanding son. She gave him the concept of independence since he was a child, and he must not show off to others. In such a long time, her son has done well, and she is also very proud. Unexpectedly, her son is now

There will be such care.

"My third brother came today mainly because he wanted to win me over, but he also didn't think about it. He is also the son of the emperor. Even if I act timid in front of outsiders, don't I have desires?"

The seventh prince looked at the clear sky outside: "I have already started the deployment many years ago, mother-in-law. Even if I live a mediocre life, no one will sympathize with me, and no one will let me think that I am a coward.

We are lingering on, our country has become like this now, my father has been fascinated by a foxy child, how can I watch the people live in pain like this."

"Then your plan..."

"My plan is of course to make a big splash."

When Concubine Chen saw her son like this, she knew that he was about to embark on the road of no return.

"Are you really sure?"

"Of course, I have no room for regret."

Now that Xiao Ran has decided to take this path, Concubine Chen will not stop her. After all, her son has endured it for too long.

"Now that you have decided, you must be careful and careful. Mom will support you."

Xiao Ran was a little touched. His mother and concubine never fought for anything, but this time she was implicated by him and imprisoned in this temple for so many years.

"Don't worry, concubine, I will let you walk out of here in an honorable manner."

Concubine Chen nodded excitedly, her son has grown up!

"I don't know how your sister is doing now. I hope she is also safe."

Concubine Chen really regards Li Yuezhu as her daughter. Although they have not been together for a long time, Concubine Chen has never seen a girl as smart as Li Yuezhu.

"Sister, concubine, my sister is actually back."

Xiao Ran really didn't want to hide his mother-in-law anymore. Over the years, the mother-in-law had been regretting it. If Li Yuezhu had not been brought into the palace, what happened later would not have happened.

"What did you say, Yuezhu is back? Where is she now?"

Concubine Chen was obviously a little excited. The main reason why he stayed in this temple so peacefully over the years was to pray for Li Yuezhu. For such a long time, the child had no idea how many grievances he had suffered outside.

"Recently, Yuezhu followed the Dongyue envoy's car to the imperial city."

When Concubine Chen heard this, her eyes burst out with burning eyes.

"Then where is she now? Can you arrange for us to meet?"

Concubine Chen held her son's hand, but Xiao Ran was speechless: "Concubine, I am your biological son, and I have never seen you so excited after seeing me."

"What's exciting to hear about you."

Concubine Chen, seeing her son change the subject, could it be that something unexpected happened again?

"Mother, you must hold still."

It seemed that something unexpected had happened again. Concubine Chen looked at her son and nodded.

"Just tell me, I can handle it."

"Yue Zhu, she was poisoned and is still unconscious. However, she did find an effective method recently and she looks much better."

Concubine Chen was stunned when she heard this.

"Who dares to poison her so boldly?"

"The mother-in-law must also know her. She is the eldest daughter of the Du family, Du Panxia."

"It's her! I didn't expect her to be so bold."

As for why the old emperor was so afraid of Concubine Chen, it was because of her natal brother, Chen Jiuying's father - Chen Zhengxun.

Although Chen Zhengxun no longer has an official position, his students are all over the government and the public, and even people from outside come here because of his reputation.

Chen Zhengxun's influence in the Bishu Kingdom was unprecedented. As long as he gave a call, the old emperor would even believe that all the literati dared to rebel.

As the grandson of Chen Zhengxun, fortunately, the seventh prince Xiao Ran is not a person who is good at literature and martial arts. He is just a useless idiot outside. He knows nothing except eating, drinking and having fun. Otherwise, Xiao Ran would have been stillborn.

.

The reason why Concubine Chen is so feared by Concubine Wan is not only because of her own schemes, but also because of her strong backing.

"Du Panxia, ​​I really didn't expect that."

Xiao Ran looked at the concubine like this and asked tentatively: "Concubine, do you want to see your sister? If you want to see her, I can make arrangements for you."

"Can I go see you?" Concubine Chen asked in surprise.
