Chapter 704: 330 Fetal Movements (Second Tael Update)_2

Noble Consort Zhuang followed up, "Empress Dowager, Hengheng's wife must come from a family that matches our social status and brings some benefits to him. What does Gu Jinyu have? She isn't even the biological child of Marquis Ding'an! Could the Marquis Residence actually favor her in the future? Besides, I suspect that His Majesty simply wishes to plant a spy in the Zhuang family!"

The Marquis Residence is His Majesty's close confidant. By marrying Gu Jinyu to our family, on one hand, it disrupts any potential power alliances with other influential families. On the other hand, it allows His Majesty to keep a close eye on the Duke of An County and the Zhuang family's every move.

Noble Consort Zhuang believed that this was His Majesty's plan.

In fact, the Emperor had no such intentions. However, just like the Emperor's distrust towards the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager did not fully trust the Emperor's intentions either.
