The tyrant has a purpose, abolishes the queen and enters the palace

Seeing her confident appearance, Xia Houlie flashed her sharp eyes and sneered, "What conditions are you talking about?"

"It's very simple." She stared intently at the palace candle burning on the copper bottle not far away, and said lightly, "After you have eradicated the Yun family and secured the throne, please give your concubines a decree that is useless. Let the ministers and concubines go out of the palace."

"You!" Xia Houlie's complexion changed, he slapped the desk hard, stood up and stared at Mu Qingwan in front of him.

She turned her head to meet his gaze without fear, and said leisurely:

"Between Jiangshan and Qingwan, which is more important, the emperor must have made a judgment in his heart."

Xia Houlie only felt aggrieved and uncomfortable in his heart, and his chest was tight, as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer. After a long while, he said weakly:

"Is this what makes you unbearable?"

Mu Qingwan also stood up, reached out and slowly put the untouched meals on the table back into the food box one by one, and said lightly:

"It's not unbearable, but we are not suitable at all. What I want in my heart, the emperor can't give it."

"what do you want?"

"I wish to have one heart and one heart, and the white head will never be separated. What I want is monogamy, equality between men and women. If a husband has my wife, he can no longer marry others. Your majesty is the king of a country. This is something you can never give me. .”

She closed the lid of the food box, and there was a sound of "knock--", which was very crisp in the quiet hall, but it seemed that something heavy fell on Xia Houlie's heart, "To be honest, I was born in the royal family I'm used to those intrigues, life and death, I don't think I'm suitable for this kind of life, Qingwan's greatest wish in this life is to travel around the world, go boating in rivers and lakes, and live this life freely." She looked at him and said word by word: "And None of this has anything to do with this palace."

With his hands propped on the table, he barely calmed down his turbulent emotions. Listening to her calm voice, he felt so powerless for the first time.

"If I don't agree, will you not continue to treat the imperial grandmother?"

Mu Qingwan was taken aback when she heard the words, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes, she hadn't thought about it at all, she didn't expect her sincerity towards the old grandma to be so misunderstood by him, she was so depressed that she couldn't bear it, she wanted to refute The words were immediately swallowed back.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly sneered, with a hint of desolation in his laughter, "Mu Qingwan, I really didn't expect you to be such a scheming woman, who went out of her way to win over the imperial grandmother, and then took advantage of her illness to make money." Threat, come to negotiate terms with me, I have to say, you are really smart and ruthless enough. It is in vain that the emperor's grandmother valued you so much, and specially asked me to treat you well, and not to blame you for the matter of Prime Minister Mo's family , and you are just using her."

Mu Qingwan's heart shivered, and she opened her mouth to explain, but in the end she was speechless. He already hated her, so how could he believe her?Explanations are nothing but self-defeating.

Seeing that she didn't speak, it was tantamount to acquiescing. His heart seemed to be torn fiercely by a hand, and he was so oppressed that he clenched his fingers unconsciously. He was afraid that if he lost control, he would strangle her to death.

"Then will the emperor agree or not? The empress dowager's illness can no longer be delayed."

Since he has already decided in his heart that she is a woman with a heart like a snake, I am afraid that no matter how kind she behaves, he will call her hypocrisy, and he will simply let him misunderstand her.

Xia Houlie smiled sarcastically, his cold eyes piercing her body like needles, he stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and looked deeply into her eyes, "In the eyes of the empress, the imperial grandmother may be just a dispensable woman. No negotiating tool, but in my heart, she is the closest person I have in this world, since the empress has already predicted that I will agree, why bother to ask so hypocritically?"

Mu Qingwan clenched her fingers tightly, and her fingertips pierced her tender palm, but she didn't feel any pain, "In that case, well, there's no evidence for what you say, and the concubine will bring the agreement tomorrow..."

"Get out! Get out immediately!"

He sternly interrupted her, and with a wave of his hand, she was caught off guard, and fell forward on the jade steps, her legs slammed into the cold and hard white marble ground, her skin was broken, and she felt hot and uncomfortable.

The knee hurt so much that it took her a long time to wake up from the dizziness, and then she supported herself and got up, staggered a bit, she bit her lip firmly to stabilize, her lip was bitten, and her mouth was full of bloody taste It made her sober up a lot, and she staggered towards the entrance of the hall with the pain in her bones.

It wasn't until the staggering figure disappeared into the night that Xia Houlie let out a low growl and swept all the mountain-like memorials on the case to the ground.

With a sound of "咚——", a clear voice sounded, and he looked down. It turned out that it was the white jade porcelain bottle that Mu Qingwan had left just now. After being swung down by him, it rolled on the ground a few times, and then rolled again Come back and land at his feet, shining brightly in the candlelight.

He stared at it for a while, then bent down to pick it up, recalling Mu Qingwan's cold and decisive look just now in his mind, his eyes turned cold, and he was about to throw the porcelain bottle out with a wave of his hand, but stopped abruptly in mid-air.

It took a long time before he let it go.

*

Mu Qingwan didn't know how she walked back to Changxin Palace. She thought a lot along the way, and she thought she would be very happy. After all, she was finally able to realize her wish and escape from this gorgeous cage far away. Worried that he would use his father and mother to threaten him later, but she found that she couldn't be happy at all.

Thinking of being misunderstood by Xia Houlie just now, she became angry. Does this damned man think he knows her well?

She treated her because she liked the old lady. It had nothing to do with whether she was the empress dowager or not. Why did he say that about her and misunderstand her so much? !

Damn stinky man!Megalomaniac!Great tyrant!

Along the way, she kicked the gravel far away as if venting her anger, while cursing bitterly.

"Ouch--" There was a cry of pain not far away, and Mu Qingwan was startled, did the kicked stone hit someone?

Really bad luck today!

Sighing, she limped and walked forward quickly, but saw a little eunuch covering his face and looking around, as if looking for the culprit.

As soon as the little eunuch saw her, he immediately cried out in surprise: "Empress Empress."

Mu Qingwan took a closer look, and it turned out that Changxin Palace was responsible for cleaning the path, and she was carrying a medicine basket in her hand.

"Xiaoluzi, why are you here so late?"

"Your Majesty, you are back. Concubine Yun Gui sent someone to Changxin Palace today to invite your Majesty to the crab and chrysanthemum banquet. Who knows that Madam is not here, and Sister Mo Ge and Sister Biying don't know where you are. Concubine Yun Gui said that they are slaves. , actually neglected the master so much, and said that the empress disappeared in such a sneaky manner, it was an insult to the royal face, and insisted on asking the two sisters to confess the whereabouts of the empress, and the two elder sisters refused to know, so she rewarded them with several big boards and sent them Locked in a darkroom."

Xiao Luzi's eyes turned red when he said that, and Mu Qingwan was shocked, "There is such a thing?"

He suddenly remembered the faint crying heard in the cave this afternoon, no wonder it was so familiar, it turned out that it was Mo Ge and Bi Ying who were being spanked by Concubine Yun Gui.

"Then how are they doing now? Are they still imprisoned by Concubine Yun?" Mu Qingwan asked as she hurriedly walked towards Changxin Palace, ignoring the injury on her leg.

Seeing that she couldn't walk easily, Xiao Luzi hurriedly supported her, "But ma'am, don't worry, the emperor has already released the two elder sisters, and called the imperial doctor to heal them." As he spoke, he raised the medicine basket in his hand , "Here, the slave just went to the Imperial Hospital to help them get medicine."

Mu Qingwan turned her head in surprise, "Your Majesty?"

"That's right, the emperor said that he was with the empress all day, and even scolded Concubine Yun Gui."

Xiao Luzi was overjoyed because his master was valued by the emperor, "Concubine Yun probably can't bear to see that your empress has robbed her of the queen's position, and now she is taking private revenge."

Mu Qingwan hurriedly said: "Shut up, can you say such things indiscriminately outside? Be careful that it comes out of your mouth."

Xiaoluzi quickly stopped talking, "Yes, the servant deserves to die!"

"In the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace. If something happens, even if I am the queen, I can't protect you."

Xiaoluzi repeatedly nodded in agreement.

Back in Changxin Palace, Mo Ge and Bi Ying were lying on the bed and humming softly. Mu Qingwan walked over to look at their wounds, and couldn't help but take a breath. This Concubine Yun Gui is really cruel. With such a heavy hand, his skin was torn apart.

As soon as Biying saw her, she burst into tears, "Mother..."

Seeing their appearance, Mu Qingwan felt sore, "Good Biying, I'm the one who got you all involved."

After comforting them carefully, and looking at the medicine prescribed by the imperial hospital, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, Mu Qingwan told them to take good care of them before getting up and leaving.

To deal with the wound on her leg, she came to the study and took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to think.

Although she was very angry that Xia Houlie misunderstood her, after all, she had already reached an agreement with him. She promised to help him regain power and then she could not break her promise. What's more, he also saved Mo Ge and Bi Ying. She should also know how to repay her kindness. yes.

The space she lives in now is a different world space different from the orthodox history of China. The history of ancient China was only inherited here until the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Later, it experienced several dynasty changes in more than 1000 years before the current political structure was formed. .

The state systems implemented by Western Chu, Northern Yan, Nanling, and Eastern Moxie were all inherited from the Western Han Dynasty, and there were not many changes. If we look at the orthodox history, this time should have reached the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

Although she traveled here, she not only has 5000 years of Chinese history and civilization in her head, but also has modern scientific and technological knowledge. She never showed any political strategy in front of her father and queen, and has always been a carefree princess who doesn't care about world affairs.

Now, in order to keep Xichu and her own freedom, she had to use her knowledge from her previous life to help Xia Houlie win the great power, so that he could let Xichu go as promised, let go of her father, queen mother, and herself.

She studied law in her undergraduate degree, and her postgraduate study focused on the history of Chinese law. Therefore, she is familiar with the history of legal development in China and the administrative and judicial systems of all dynasties. I am afraid that a political system that is too advanced is not as good as such a backward one. The feudal society does not match, so she can only choose the advanced system in the feudal society.

According to the current national conditions of Beiyan, the most suitable ones are the three provinces and six ministries and the imperial examination system in the heyday of Tang Dynasty.

After sorting out her thoughts, she drew the power check and balance structure diagram of the three provinces and six ministries system and the flow chart of the imperial examination system from the child test to the palace test, so that Xia Houlie could understand it at a glance, and wrote down the agreement they reached today in terms of clauses. , transcribed two copies, signed it by myself, and prepared to give it to Xiahou Lie for stamping tomorrow.

After finishing these matters, it was already midnight, she put away the blueprints and agreements, yawned, and was about to fall asleep when Chu Yunxiu walked in.

Seeing her close the door, Mu Qingwan put on the clothes she had taken off as if she had something to say, went to the table and sat down, "Aunt Chu, is there anything else to do at this late hour?"

Chu Yunxiu walked over to help her pour a cup of tea, and then said, "Your Majesty, did you go to the Empress Dowager today?"

Hearing this, Mu Qingwan raised her head and glanced at her indifferently, but didn't speak.

Seeing the defensive look in her eyes, Chu Yunxiu took out a token from his sleeve, and said in a gentle tone:

"This is the golden token arrow given by the emperor to the servant. Once the token is released, it is as if the emperor is in person. The heart of the servant is loyal to the emperor. Naturally, he is not the enemy of the empress, let alone the enemy of the empress dowager. The reason why the servant came Changxin Palace's coming to serve is following the emperor's will."

Mu Qingwan signaled her to sit down, but she didn't refuse. After thanking Fushen, she sat down and continued:

"The maidservant came so late to remind the empress for the emperor."

Mu Qingwan raised her eyebrows to signal her to continue, and Chu Yunxiu continued:

"The Empress Dowager's illness is no small matter. The treatment for the Empress Dowager must be done in secret. No one should know that the Empress Dowager went to Yishouyuan."

Mu Qingwan frowned in puzzlement, "How do you say that? Since I am the current empress, the empress dowager is my grandmother. Does it mean that even my visit to the emperor's grandmother will attract suspicion?"

A dark light flashed in Chu Yunxiu's eyes, and she said in a low voice, "Because the Empress Dowager Yun already knows that you are an apprentice of old man Wu Yazi, and you have excellent medical skills."

Mu Qingwan's heart skipped a beat, "How could she know?"

Chu Yunxiu frowned: "The emperor is investigating this matter, and he ordered his servants to come to remind the empress not to reveal her behavior when she goes to Yishouyuan. Empress, think about it carefully, besides the empress dowager, the emperor, and the sixth prince Apart from Aunt Jinru, who else in the palace knows that your mother is the apprentice of Old Man Wu Yazi?"

Mu Qingwan hurriedly said: "Both Bi Ying and Mo Ge know." After a pause, she added: "But they have been with me for several years, and they are like my biological sisters, I think they will never betray me It is."

"Bi Ying?" Chu Yunxiu's eyes narrowed, "I forgot, today, after the empress went out, Bi Ying also found an excuse to go out. Seeing that something was wrong, the servant followed her, but unexpectedly found her I'm stalking my wife."

"Follow me?" Mu Qingwan exclaimed, "Are you sure you read it right?"

"Your servant guarantees the head of the item, and you are absolutely right. If your servant didn't get in the way and prevented her from following, maybe she already knows that you are going to Yishouyuan by now."

Mu Qingwan only felt a chill all over her body, her heart seemed to be being cut slowly by a blunt knife, and the pain was severe, "Bi Ying followed me? Why did she do this?"

"Her motives have not yet been ascertained. This servant just wants to remind the empress to pay more attention to her every move in the future, maybe there will be clues."

Mu Qingwan only felt distraught. Before she married Beiyan, she had told Biying and the others not to tell others that she knew medical skills, so she never thought of doubting Mo Ge and Biying.

But now the facts are in front of them, since Xia Houlie and the others know that someone deliberately murdered the Empress Dowager, it is impossible to reveal the secret that she is Wu Yazi's apprentice, and besides them, only Mo Ge and Bi Ying know.

She couldn't believe that the relationship of so many years, called master and servant, but actually sisters, is it really all fake?

"I..." Mu Qingwan was about to speak, but Chu Yunxiu gave her a wink, signaling her to keep silent.

After a while, there was a slight sound of the door opening in the quiet night. Mu Qingwan and Chu Yunxiu looked at each other, quietly walked to the window, poked a small hole with their fingers, and looked out through the window.

Mu Qingwan's heart seemed to be jumping out of her throat, a kind of contradictory psychology made her want to see the truth, but was afraid of seeing the truth.

When she saw that light green figure slowly appearing in her eyes, she only felt a "boom--" in her head, as if something had split open.

It's so late, what is Biying going to do?

Seeing her cautiously looking left and right, she walked forward quickly. Seeing her gradually walking away, Chu Yunxiu lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty, let's rest first, and this servant will follow and have a look."

Seeing that she turned around and was about to go out, Mu Qingwan hurriedly held her back, "My qinggong is not bad, so I'll go too."

Chu Yunxiu took a deep look at her, then nodded, "Then lady, be careful to follow me closely."

At this moment, Mu Qingwan realized that Chu Yunxiu's skill was so good that she really deserved to be the person next to Xia Houlie.

The two followed the figure in front of them in the dark night, not far or near, until the familiar nunnery came into view.

Biying took a quick look around, and then dodged in. Mu Qingwan and Chu Yunxiu hurriedly used lightness kung fu to fly over, landed gently on the roof, and leaned over to listen to the movement below.

After a while, Biying's suppressed cry came from inside the nunnery, "Mother, today is your death day. It is because of my daughter's unfilial piety that I can't burn paper money for you openly. I can only come here in the middle of the night when there is no one around. The place where the empress worships you, the mother must forgive the daughter for being involuntary, this palace is not our Xichu Palace, the daughter married the princess to Beiyan, but the mother is at ease, the daughter is very good here, the princess treats her like Like sisters..."

"Mother, my daughter did something wrong today. My daughter forgot that she should be cautious in her words and deeds in the palace. When chatting with other court ladies and eunuchs, she inadvertently said that the princess used to learn art at Misty Peak. Now the palace Everyone must know about this. Mom, my daughter really didn’t do it on purpose, what should I do? If the princess finds out about this, she will never forgive her, mother... Please teach me, my daughter really doesn’t want to Losing such a good sister as the princess... woo woo..."

When Mu Qingwan heard this, she suddenly realized, and couldn't help but blame herself for being so easy to doubt Bi Ying, who was like a real sister.

She didn't listen any more, she winked at Chu Yunxiu, and she flew away from the nunnery.

Chu Yunxiu gently lifted a piece of tile, and when he saw that Biying was really just crying silently while burning paper money, doubts flashed in his eyes, he looked around carefully, waited for a while, and saw that there was indeed nothing suspicious , and then leave.

After about half a cup of tea, there was a black figure in the nunnery, with black clothes and black hair, and his face was covered with a black cloth, only a pair of sharp cold eyes like eagles could be seen.

And at this moment, Biying, how could she still look like she was crying pitifully just now?

She wiped away her tears, stood up quickly, knelt down towards the man in black, cupped her hands and said, "Master."

As soon as the man in black raised his foot, he kicked her to the ground, "Useless things, almost exposed my whereabouts."

Biying was sweating coldly from the pain, but she didn't dare to hum, she got up enduring the pain and continued to kneel in front of the man in black, her back straight.

"If you scare the master, the subordinates should die!"

"You should be damned, but you have to finish the matter for me." He waved his robe and walked to the window and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the full moon hanging on the treetops, his cold eyes shone with silver light Bright, "You were smart just now, if she really suspected you, then it would be useless for me to keep this useless chess piece of yours."

"How's the situation here?"

"Xia Houlie regarded her as an enemy because of the fact that Mo's family was ransacked and beheaded. Since the wedding, the two have been at odds with each other, but today Xia Houlie had an abnormal conflict with Yunluo because of the beating of his subordinates and Mo Ge. , seems to want to show favor to Mu Qingwan."

The man in black narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that Xia Houlie wants to use her to deal with the Yun family."

Bi Ying stared fixedly at the slender figure by the window, with nostalgia in her eyes, "Master, please don't worry, my subordinates will definitely not make Xia Houlie happy."

"You're wrong. Since they want to fight, I'll let them fight. It's best to fight to the death." The man in black sneered, "When they both lose, it's time for me to catch the net."

Biying was puzzled, "What does master mean... the cooperation with Yunlanshan is over?"

The man in black turned around and walked in front of Biying, and lifted Biying's chin with his slender fingers. Under the candlelight, his pretty face was flushed like a peach blossom, "No, the cooperation will continue, but..."

His hand slowly stroked the tender skin on her face, and Biying felt that her whole body was softened into a pool of spring water, "What I want is no longer just a little Dongmo, what I want is the whole world."

After finishing speaking, he chuckled, that laughter was like a snake in the dark night, spitting bright red snake letters at the prey it had aimed at, arrogant and sinister.

"No matter what the master wants, the subordinates will follow to the death!"

The man in black smiled satisfied, "My dear Bi Ying, did the kick hurt you just now?"

Biying looked up at the god-like man in front of her with flattery, and murmured: "No...it doesn't hurt...really..."

The man in black took out a small bottle from his sleeve and put it in her hand, with tenderness in his voice, "Wait and apply the medicine, after all, you are also a daughter of a thousand gold family, different from those vulgar servants, now you are being wronged by Mu Qingwan." Being a slave by my side, after my business is completed, I will give you a decent status."

Bi Ying grabbed his hand and rubbed it on her face, looking at him without blinking, with tears in her eyes:

"Back then, the master saved Qing Ge when the Mo family was in danger and named him Biying. Biying will never forget this great kindness. With her by her side, and being able to see her master all the time, Biying is content."

"What a silly girl!" The man in black laughed, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, he withdrew his hand, turned his back and said:

"I'm going back to Dongmo tomorrow, so be careful here. When the time is right, you might as well create some conflicts to make the struggle between Xia Houlie and the Yun family more intense. Well, you have been out for a long time, so as not to make her suspicious, hurry up Go back, I will send someone to try to contact you if something happens."

As soon as the words fell, Bi Ying's eyes flashed, and the man in black disappeared.

Biying walked quickly to the window, staring at the bamboo shadow fluttering in the distance, and didn't leave the nunnery until the green bamboo returned to normal.

*

The next day, Qinzheng Hall

"Report to the emperor, the empress is here!"

Xia Houlie's ink brush paused, "Let her in."

Mu Qingwan looked at the ice sculpture-like cold face on the dragon chair, and subconsciously clenched the agreement and blueprints in her hands, but in an instant, the worries in her heart disappeared because of the two structural drawings drawn last night .

With this blueprint, I am not afraid that Xia Houlie will not sign the agreement, but as long as she has this agreement, she will almost have a talisman, and she will no longer have to be controlled by others in the palace.

Gradually gaining confidence in her heart, a smile slowly appeared on the corners of her lips, "Qing Wan greets the emperor."

Xia Houlie waved away the maids and eunuchs in the palace, watched the palace door close, and then looked at Mu Qingwan with burning eyes, "Yesterday you swore that there was a way for me to turn things around, but I don't know what it is?"

Mu Qingwan slowly stepped forward and spread the drawings on the dragon case, "Please take a look at the two drawings I drew first, and I will explain them in detail later."

Xia Houlie glanced at her suspiciously, and then carefully looked at the drawing. His eyes changed from indifferent and indifferent at the beginning, to as if a cluster of flames had been ignited in ice water. Slowly, that little spark of fire became The state of starting a prairie fire illuminated his entire pupils, and his eyes were so bright that they frightened people.

Mu Qingwan waited for him to read all of them, then pointed to the picture of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries System and said slowly:

"Hasn't your majesty been troubled by Prime Minister Yun monopolizing power and threatening the imperial power? The biggest feature of this system of three provinces and six ministries is that it can disperse the prime minister's power and centralize the imperial power. It divides the power of the prime minister into three, and sets up the Zhongshu Province and the Shangshu Province in the center. Under the door, the three provinces perform their own duties and check each other, which can not only prevent foreign relatives from monopolizing power, but also prevent local forces from splitting up. There is a clear division of labor, which is also conducive to the emperor's centralization of power and the implementation of government orders, so that the emperor can regain power as soon as possible."

Xia Houlie's eyes narrowed, and he carefully studied the structure diagram, "Looking at the distribution of powers and responsibilities among the three central provinces, it seems that the Zhongshu and the ministers of the two provinces are the actual power holders?"

"Yes. Among the three provinces, the Zhongshu Province is responsible for discussing the drafting of the bill with the emperor and drafting the emperor's edict, while the Menxia Province is responsible for reviewing the content of the edict and returning it to the Zhongshu Province according to the situation. In this way, the officials of the two provinces A kind of restraint is formed between them, and the emperor does not need to suppress any party, but only needs to mediate in the middle to balance the forces of both parties, so that the power in the court actually returns to the emperor."

Xia Houlie frowned, "This system is good, but how can those old thieves in Yunlanshan let me implement such a new system so easily? Those old stubborn people in the court will definitely obstruct it in every possible way."

Mu Qingwan went to the side and poured two cups of tea, gave one cup to Xia Houlie, took a sip from the cup herself, and then said:

"Reforms in all dynasties have to pay a price, and it is not a matter of one day, so the emperor must not act too hastily. The emperor has a bottom line in his heart first, and Qingwan will remind the emperor how to operate when he sees the right time. What the emperor needs to consider now is to support the court. Which of the ministers will come to contend with Yunlanshan, I wonder if the emperor has a suitable candidate in mind?"

Xiahou Lie nodded, tapped the tea lid slowly on the rim of the cup, fell into deep thought, and said after a while:

"To be able to compete with Yunlan Mountain, it must be someone who has certain influence in the court to be useful. After much deliberation, Zhou Changlong is the only one."

"Zhou Changlong?" Mu Qingwan thought deeply, "But Concubine Chu's father?"

Xia Houzhen nodded, "As a doctor of imperial history, Zhou Changlong was originally a high-ranking official, and he had many disciples. Many officials of the imperial court had a good personal relationship with him, but he has been kept by Yunlanshan for these years. oppressed by the power of others, so I had to submit to others.”

"I guess he must have a lot of dissatisfaction with Yunlanshan in his heart, but he can't put it on the table, and this can be used by us. As long as we lure him to benefit and show affection, let his daughter Concubine Chu can rise up in the harem and compete with Concubine Yun, and when his wings are a little stronger, he will definitely attack the Yun family, as long as they lose peace, then our goal will be half achieved."

In fact, she also has her own selfishness in saying such a way, so that Xiahou Lie will favor Concubine Chu, and the power of the Zhou family will grow. At that time, Empress Dowager Yun and Concubine Yun Gui will no longer be able to distract themselves from dealing with her, a queen who has no favor or power. , although Xia Houlie said that he would keep her safe, but he is the emperor and a man, so in this harem that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, it is inevitable that there will be things that he can't take care of.

So she has to plan for herself, so that she can stay in this harem safely until the day when she leaves the palace.

Thinking of this, she turned to Xia Houlie and said:

"In order to cultivate this pawn, you need to go to Concubine Chu's palace to accompany her during this period of time. Only by making Concubine Chu a cute pet can Zhou Changlong have the confidence to compete with Yunlanshan."

Hearing her talking about Concubine Chu's calm and breezy appearance, Xia Houlie's heart was blocked, and he sneered and said:

"The empress is very virtuous. She doesn't change her face when she persuades her husband to favor other women. Does the empress not mind me finding other women at all?"
