After going to court, Duguquan could not keep his composure for the first time and called Shi Qian directly.
"Prime Minister Shi" Shi Qian was about to step onto the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion outside the palace, when he heard the call from behind him.
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he turned around expressionlessly again.
"His Royal Highness King Quan" Duguquan glanced at the guard beside him, Shi Qian winked at the guard, and the guard stepped away.
"The Prime Minister was very calm in court today, and seemed to have already understood what happened today," Duguquan said straightforwardly without trying to hide anything.
Shi Qian touched his smooth chin and looked at him thoughtfully: "Why did your Highness say this?"
"Why do you question whether Xue Cong is Concubine Kong Guifei?"
Duguquan stared at him.
Shi Qian curled his lips and said noncommittally: "It's natural for me to target Concubine Kong.
Otherwise, how could Concubine Shi be favored again?"
Duguquan sneered: "It is well known that Concubine Shi is not favored.
The Prime Minister has never participated in the struggle for power in the harem, but why did he suddenly attack Concubine Kong and Xue Cong this time?"
Shi Qian looked at him deeply: "Does King Quan not want to know who Concubine Kong is?
What methods did she use to make His Majesty obey his orders in such a short time?
Aren't these Your Highnesses curious at all?"
Duguquan fell silent with a serious expression on his face.
He was also trying his best to investigate Peacock's past, but strangely, this woman seemed to appear out of thin air, and her previous past was completely blank.
"I have long suspected Xue Cong and Concubine Kong, but Hua Manlou worries me even more."
He looked at Shi Qian and said solemnly, "The Prime Minister has no doubts about Hua Manlou's true motives."
Shi Qian made a helpless move: "We can't intervene or investigate in the harem, so we can only ask Queen Zhao to observe more."
Duguquan sighed.
He also knew that his mother was a wise and protective person.
As long as it did not involve the interests of their mother and son, she would never take any responsibility.
"In this matter, I still hope that Your Highness will convince the Queen that when something needs to be done, you should still stand up," Shi Qian said meaningfully.
After watching Shi Qian's chariot leave, Dugu Quan pondered for a while and then let Ah Fu push him into the palace again, heading to Kunning Palace.
Zhang Dequan had expressed all the opinions of the ministers to Empress Zhao, and was waiting for her to investigate the peacock matter in person.
However, Queen Zhao did not express her position for a long time and waited until Dugu Quan arrived.
Sure enough, after hearing the palace maid report that Dugu Quan had entered the palace, Queen Zhao immediately got up and went to the front hall.
"What's going on with Quan'er today?"
She asked with astonishment on her face as soon as she saw Dugu Quan.
Before that, Zhang Dequan told her about Emperor Hua's serious illness, Xue Cong's imprisonment, and Peacock's questioning.
She has not yet digested it.
Duguquan explained in detail what happened in the hall today.
"Now everyone is waiting for the queen mother to investigate the matter of Peacock deceiving the father," Duguquan said with a condensed expression, "and it is best within three days."
Because of the arrogant Hua Manlou, he set three days for Emperor Hua to return to the Golden Palace.
In fact, he has already conveyed a message to him, asking Queen Zhao to dig out all the private parts of the peacock within three days.
Your Majesty, you have lost a demon queen
