Chapter 58
When Li Shu came to the imperial study tonight, there was silence and only one candlestick was lit.

The little emperor sat on the unlit steps, even if he couldn't see his expression clearly, Li Shu could feel the other party's gloomy eyes staring at him, and a chill came down his spine.

The little emperor didn't move, he only said softly, "Li Shu, come to Gu."

Li Shu approached with light steps, and then knelt upright in front of the little emperor.

The little emperor said quietly: "Gu intends to let An Qing's daughter enter the palace, what do you think?"

Li Shu looked up at the little emperor in surprise, "Your Majesty, absolutely not."

He knew the connection, "If Your Majesty does this, where will Mr. An be placed?"

"Master An is loyal to His Majesty, but if His Majesty doubts Mr. An's loyalty just because Di Ji and Ms. An are getting closer, and uses Ms. An as a bargaining chip, it will definitely chill Mr. An's heart."

Li Shu spoke earnestly, "We have the upper hand in regards to being the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. We must not act rashly and destroy the situation that has been achieved with great difficulty."

The little emperor's expression was inexplicable, he was silent for a while, and then he spoke again: "Sister went to Kunsheng Palace two days ago, and there was movement from the Empress Dowager's people."

"She suddenly sent someone to thoroughly investigate all matters related to An Qing, and she almost found the orphan."

"Heh." The little emperor sneered, "Separation, tell me, why?"

Li Shu frowned.

"But Master An is clearly a member of Xie Shoufu. The Empress Dowager and Xie Shoufu have never dealt with each other. She also intends to push someone from the Jiang family to the top. It is inevitable that Mr. An will investigate why Mr. An wants to catch him. "

"Will it be related to... Di Ji?"

The little emperor was actually somewhat persuaded, "But Gu just doesn't feel at ease."

"I don't believe it, all of this is just a coincidence, and sister has not participated in it at all."

Intellectually, he also knew that what Li Shu said was correct, but he just couldn't let go of his doubts.

As usual, Li Shu would only think that the little emperor was making a fuss and being suspicious, but what Diji did recently made him more and more incomprehensible.

Li Shu paused for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, if you only let Miss An enter the palace, it would be too obvious. I'm afraid Lord An will completely lose trust with Xie Shoufu."

The little emperor instantly understood the meaning of alienation, "You mean, let Gu officially choose a concubine?"

"That's right." Li Shu: "Many ministers in the court felt that the harem had been empty for a long time, so it was logical to choose a concubine."

Choosing a concubine is not something that can be done overnight.

"Miss An's selection into the palace as one of the show girls is justified. By then, Mrs. An will be firmly seated in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and there is no need to be afraid of revealing her identity."

"And with Miss An in the palace, His Majesty can rest assured of Mrs. An."

"As for Di Ji..." Li Shu assured, "I will go to find out the truth again, so that His Majesty can rest assured."

Having said so much, the little emperor accepted Li Shu's remonstrance, and suddenly changed his tone, "Recently, you have been very beautiful."

The little emperor pinched Li Shu's chin and forced him to look up, "How does it feel to be taken out like an object to show off?"

"But I took advantage of your wishes to make my sister's heart and eyes full of you, huh?"

Li Shu didn't meet the little emperor's eyes, but replied flatly: "It's not as expected."
