Looking at Jun Lintian who had already left Kunning Palace.

A hint of pride flashed across Queen Zhou's eyes.

But Queen Zhou did not regret it at all.

Compared to what she lost, what she gained was more important.

It's nothing more than sacrificing a little bit of yourself, it's nothing at all.

Anyway, you can slowly recover.

Queen Zhou yawned, stretched, and lay comfortably on the big bed, asking the palace maids to come in and help her wash.

When the maid came in, she asked, "Did those concubines not cause any trouble these days?"

Some time ago, because the eldest prince died, many concubines in the harem became active.

After all, they also have sons, and their sons may also become the crown prince, so they naturally have to give their sons a chance.

A few days ago, the second prince was impeached by the ministers, and the concubines in the harem became more and more arrogant.

He even didn't take Queen Zhou Su Ruyun seriously.

Sometimes they would say some sarcastic words, and even use some tricks in secret.

In short, there are quite a few conspiracies in the harem.

The maid smiled and said, "Your Highness, now that the Second Prince has become a new noble in the court, how dare the other princes come to cause trouble for him?"

"Since the prince is like this, the concubines in the harem naturally dare not do anything, and they don't even dare to come to Kunning Palace."

Hearing these words, a smug smile appeared on Queen Zhou's face.

It seems that the deal he made with Jun Lintian was really worthwhile.

Those restless princes before have now calmed down a lot and no longer dare to compete with her son for the position of crown prince.

Su Ruyun couldn't help but think of the previous thought again.

If possible, she would rather give birth to a son.

In this way, even if something happens in the end, Jun Lintian will protect her.

Even though Queen Zhou doted on the Second Prince very much, she also regarded him as her support.

But sometimes, just having a backer is not enough.

Queen Zhou couldn't help but reach out and touch her lower abdomen, and her eyes became more thoughtful.

If you are really pregnant, just give birth to the baby first.

--------

As the situation develops further.

The second prince's prestige in the capital and even in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty became increasingly higher.

Many young men from poor families formed groups and came to the Second Prince's residence to seek refuge with him.

No matter who you are, you want to plan a future for yourself.

In the past, these children from poor families had no chance to succeed.

But now that the second prince has appeared, they are definitely unwilling to give up such an opportunity.

The most eye-catching person among them is Tianling Academy's chief disciple, Zhao Han.

Although Zhao Han is the chief disciple in Tianling Academy, he does not have much real power.

After all, he came from a poor family, and in Tianling Academy, only those children from aristocratic families held real power.

But Zhao Han was indeed very talented and good at dealing with people. When he took refuge with the Second Prince, he gave him a lot of gifts.

In short, he was very much to the Second Prince's liking, so the Second Prince not only valued him, but also regarded him as his confidant. In the past few days, Zhao Han basically ate and lived in the Second Prince's residence.

It can be said that he has now become the Second Prince's man. It is not quite accurate to say that he is his aide, but he has indeed helped the Second Prince do some things.

After lunch, Zhao Han prepared to meet the second prince. He wanted to ask if there was anything he needed to do.

But at this moment.

A poor disciple from Tianling Academy suddenly came to the Second Prince's residence, asking to see Zhao Han by name, and said that the matter was very urgent.

Zhao Han still belongs to Tianling College, so he met this student.

The student rushed here and his face was a little pale.

"Big Brother, something terrible has happened! Something happened in the academy!"

When Zhao Han heard this, he immediately frowned.

Since something happened in the college, there would naturally be someone there to deal with it. How come they suddenly found him?
However, as the chief disciple, he still puts the academy first in his heart.

So Zhao Han quickly asked, "What happened? Tell me quickly. What about the other people in the academy? Why didn't they deal with this matter?"

The student immediately said, "One of our poor disciples provoked a disciple from an aristocratic family."

"This matter involves people from both sides, it's not easy for other people to handle it!"

"Moreover, in the entire academy, except for the eldest brother who comes from a poor family, all the other powerful people are from aristocratic families. They will definitely not help our people!"

When Zhao Han heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

This matter caused quite a stir.

Since there was a conflict between the disciples from poor families and those from wealthy families, I'm afraid no one would dare to take the initiative to take charge of the matter.

"What's going on? Tell me in detail!" Zhao Han couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The student said, "It's not a big deal. My friend Li Min bumped into the young man from the aristocratic family named Huang."

"Moreover, Li Min had already apologized from the beginning, but Huang Junfeng just wanted to hold on to this matter!"

"He also said that he would make Li Min kneel down and apologize to him, and crawl around the wall of Tianling College in public before this matter would be over!"

Zhao Han's face couldn't help but be filled with some gloom.

At this moment, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "This Huang Junfeng is really going too far! How could he do this?"

"Don't you treat us poor kids as human beings?"

Then, he quickly turned his gaze to the student: "When did this happen?"

The student quickly said, "Just now, as soon as the incident happened, I rushed over to find Senior Brother."

Zhao Han nodded, but he was still worried.

"There's no time to lose, let's go there quickly!"

He is the confidant of the Second Prince and also serves as the chief disciple of Tianling Academy.

Zhao Han now regards himself as the second prince's man, and wants to support these children from poor families.

Otherwise, even the second prince would definitely look down on him.

What's more, now that people have taken the initiative to find him, he naturally has to do justice.

If it were in the past, Zhao Han might not have dared to take care of this matter. After all, he had no power and no status.

How can I provoke those children from noble families?

But now it’s different. Zhao Han has been in the Second Prince’s Mansion for some time and has personally experienced what it feels like to have power in hand.

Now, he himself also has a feeling of wanting to be superior in the eyes of others. (End of this chapter)
