Hearing Shi Qingluo's question, Zhuo Jun was stunned.

She thought for a moment and said, "He dotes on a side concubine in the backyard and even made that side concubine's son the crown prince.

"Outsiders say that she is King Jin's favorite woman."

Then she said with a strange expression, "That's right, there's something very abnormal."

Shi Qingluo asked curiously, "In what way?"

Zhuo Jun said in a low voice, "That side concubine looks very similar to the current empress."

When she was sent out of the palace that day, she happened to run into the empress and accidentally saw her face.

At that time, she was extremely shocked.

That was because she looked very similar to the side concubine in King Jin's backyard.

The reason why she had seen King Jin's side concubine was not because King Jin had brought her back.

It was because the crown prince at King Jin's residence often held banquets, and most of them would invite high scholars in the northern city to attend.

That side concubine had once appeared at a flower feast to serve the ladies, and she had coincidentally seen her.

Shi Qingluo's eyes widened. "Did King Jin do it on purpose?"

She didn't think that King Jin liked the empress and found a substitute.

If he really liked her, even if he had found a substitute, he would only hide it.

She felt that King Jin must have done it on purpose to annoy the emperor.

That was why he doted on this side concubines in such a high-profile manner and let her son become the crown prince.

Zhuo Jun also said, "I also think that King Jin did it on purpose for the emperor to see."

He also wanted to give put the crown prince in a bad spot.

If the emperor was a little narrow-minded, he would definitely hold a grudge against the empress and this would affect his attitude toward the crown prince.

If the emperor did not like the crown prince, he would want to re-establish a new crown prince among the other princes.

The princes would definitely fight even more fiercely and allow King Jin to take advantage of this loophole.

The reason why she would tell Xiao Hanzheng and his wife about this secret was also because Shi Qingluo would discover it herself when she went to the northern city.

That side consort and her son liked to hold all sorts of banquets.

It was very likely that Shi Qingluo would be invited.

After all, King Jin wanted to rope her in.

Shi Qingluo had seen the empress before, so she could naturally connect the dots.

Zhuo Jun reminded them now so that the two of them would be prepared.

Shi Qingluo asked, "Does King Jin's main concubine have a legitimate son?"

Zhuo Jun replied, "Just two legitimate daughters. King Jin's sons are all from his side concubines and serving concubines."

Shi Qingluo asked again, "That side concubine who gave birth to the crown prince, does she have a good family background?"
