Chapter 189: Memories of the Past Life Emerge Song's Layout
According to his memory, the old emperor will die on next New Year's Eve.

At that time, his biggest rival would be Princess Qinghuan. Last time, he joined forces with the Crown Princess to assassinate Princess Qinghuan, so he took over the absolute imperial power. Then he found someone to secretly poison the Crown Prince who had already ascended the throne, so that he died suddenly only two or three years after taking the throne.

He then assisted the queen's child to ascend the throne, when the child was only a few years old. Therefore, he served as regent for more than ten years. He had always been fighting against the queen mother's family, but he was also entangled with the queen mother.

When he thought of this, he felt that it was too exciting. Since everyone was an ambitious person, why bother going through such a complicated process? He could just let those people fight each other, then he could get everything he wanted smoothly. So he started to plan.

The old emperor will die, and the most troublesome person right now is Princess Qinghuan. But if Princess Qinghuan and the prince can both be defeated, these steps can be omitted. He can directly help the young emperor to the throne, and then solve the problems of the young emperor and the empress dowager in a short time. Everything will become a natural process. When he thought of this, he felt that the wound was not so painful anymore, so he gave an order to Song Bai and said.

"Go find Concubine Zhao. I have something to say to her."

Zhao Yuyan also married him in her previous life, but not so early.

Later, she did give birth to a son for him, who was smart, lively and generous. Therefore, Song Shi also wanted to marry Jiang Shiyuan, but he did not intend to leave no descendants. Since the Zhao family could be used by him, he naturally wanted to make the best use of it.

Therefore, appeasing Concubine Zhao is the first step.

Zhao Yuyan had just walked over from Princess Chun's courtyard. She felt a little strange when she saw Song Bai, but then she heard him say that the prince wanted to ask her to come over.

Concubine Zhao has been feeling uneasy these days.

Ever since she found out that the person the prince had in his heart was Miss Jiang, she became reluctant to serve him, so she always found various excuses. She would sit in the yard for a while during the day, but most of the time she was busy managing the household outside.

But since Song Bai had come to invite her, she had nothing to say and could only follow him back to the yard.

Seeing her coming, Song Shi quickly put on a hypocritical look and spoke in a gentle and polite manner.

"What's wrong? Are you bothered by trivial matters at home or something else? Why are you so unhappy? If you have anything that makes you uncomfortable, tell me and I will definitely help you."

"Nothing, I just haven't been feeling well these past few days, so this is what happened."

"I don't feel well, but I've asked the doctor to come and see me. Is there any good news?"

This is the most difficult thing for Zhao Yuyan at the moment.

She had consulted the doctor many times, and the doctor had confirmed that she was indeed not pregnant. However, she had been accompanying the prince ever since she entered the palace. It had been several months, but there was no news at all. Naturally, she was very unhappy.

And she could also tell that Princess Chun was not very satisfied with her, so with all these things mixed together, Concubine Zhao felt a little exhausted. She shook her head and then said to Song Shi.

"I feel guilty. I have been serving the prince for so many days but there is still no good news. I am speechless in front of the prince and the princess. How about I find two maids in the prince's room to serve him? If there are more people, there will be a chance to have children for him soon. What do you think?" Song Shi also looked at Zhao Yuyan and did not answer her. Instead, he saw the slight evasion in her eyes. He thought that his mother was treating her the same way she treated An Nian before, so he said something to comfort her.

"I don't like everyone. Yuyan, you are the woman I want with all my heart. Even if there are ten or a hundred women in front of me, they are nothing special."

Since he had made up his mind to make the Zhao family submit to him, he naturally had to give them some absolute benefits. Therefore, he reached out and pulled Zhao Yuyan into his arms, looked at her delicate face, then leaned over and blew a few breaths into her ears. Seeing her ears turn red, Song Shi's own desires also became apparent.

"My Lord, you haven't recovered yet. If the princess knew about this, she would definitely say that I didn't care about you. Besides, it would not be good for our reputation to do this in broad daylight."

"What are you afraid of? If mother knew, she would be happy. It means that my body is in very good condition. If you and I work harder, maybe the baby will come soon. Don't worry. I have a feeling that you will give birth to a healthy son."

Hearing this, no matter how unwilling Zhao Yuyan was before, she now became shy and timid. After all, since she had married into the palace, the child was the foundation of her foothold in the palace, so after thinking it over, she climbed her arms onto the back of Prince Song, and the two of them recklessly engaged in debauchery in broad daylight in the yard.

After tasting the sweetness, the two acted ridiculously for several days in a row.

Perhaps it was because of the nourishment of love, Concubine Zhao, who had been a little gloomy a few days ago, suddenly became so tender that water could be squeezed out of her. The charm between her eyebrows and the messy appearance in the room all showed that their love affair was very exciting.

Song Shiye's health gradually improved during these days. On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the East Palace held a banquet to entertain all the ministers and celebrate the New Year. Song Shiye knew that his chance had come, so he prepared some things and arranged for people to make the most gorgeous jewelry and dresses for Concubine Zhao.

On that day, the two of them went to the banquet together, both dressed elegantly.

When they appeared at the table, they quickly became the focus of everyone. Now everyone knew that Song Shiye's Crown Princess was ill and recuperating at home, so basically the one who attended was Concubine Zhao.

However, when I think of their identities, I assume that some things can be understood even without being explained clearly.

Some people were waiting to see the Jiang family make a fool of themselves, and some people spoke poorly of the Crown Prince's Consort, but they were all whispering behind their backs and did not attract much attention. At this banquet, Song Shiye's target was very clear, and that was the hostess of the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess!

In his previous life, he spent a lot of energy to understand that the prince had no ambition, but the princess was brave and resourceful. She thought and cared about much more than the prince, so if he wanted to ascend to the throne, she would be the best ally.

Therefore, although people were chatting everywhere, their eyes would occasionally glance at the Crown Princess. Some people saw it and thought he was glancing at Concubine Zhao who was beside the Crown Princess, so they just made a few jokes and didn't think any more about it.

"I'm a little drunk. I'm going to change my clothes and sober up. You guys just drink now."

"Yes, ma'am."

After the Crown Princess left, the female family members no longer gathered together, but instead went to their own circles. For example, Zhao Yuyan went straight to her mother, Madam Zhao, and sister-in-law.
