Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 170 I Only Love You For My Life 2
When the plum blossoms on the bed curtain stopped dancing, the whole world also became quiet.

Besides, Concubine Zhen, after the banquet, she returned to Chengqian Palace to meet her father and elder brother who came to congratulate her, and talked about the Queen.

"I have to find a way to make the emperor abolish the queen. As long as my younger sister takes the position of queen, there will be a prince in the future! What kind of concubine Yi is nothing to be afraid of!" This is Concubine Zhen's elder brother, Anhou.

"It's easy to say, but if there is no sufficient reason, the empress cannot be dethroned!" Zhen Guifei said.

"There is nothing to come out of the middle palace, this is one of the seven crimes, why not?" Anhou said.

"If you can use this reason, do you have to wait until today? She was abolished a long time ago!" Zhen Guifei said.

"The problem is still with the emperor, but why doesn't the emperor want to set up another middle palace? Whether it is the younger sister or the concubine Yi, anyone is more suitable than the queen to sit in the middle palace!" Anhou said.

Fuguogong, who was silent for a long time, said: "Although Dingguo's family is involved in the Yang party's treason case, after all, there is no conclusive evidence. The emperor probably protects the queen because he doesn't want to break the current balance!" She glanced at her daughter and said: "You have to be more careful in everything. The emperor can overthrow Yang Dezhang and King Yu, imprison Princess Antai, and prepare to withdraw the domain. No one can guess what he will do next. If we If you accidentally take a wrong step, you will be watched by the emperor! Now it seems that anyone who is watched by the emperor will end badly!"

"Does father think that the emperor will do anything to our Zhen family?" Zhen Guifei asked.

Fu Guogong sighed, and said: "That's hard to say! Now that Princess Antai and King Yu have left the court, the Zhao family has gained the upper hand. However, the Zhao family has always supported the emperor, and there is Lafayette, the emperor will not What's more, the emperor has to rely on him, what can those scholars who have just passed the exams expect? They have to rely on the Zhao family!"

Hearing his father's words, Marquis An sighed: "No wonder King Yu rejected the Zhao family back then, so that's how it is! But, in this way, wouldn't the court be the same as it was when Grandpa Shizu used to be? It's still the Zhao family who control the government!"

"If we want to gain a firm foothold in such an imperial court, we have to join forces with the Zhao family!" Fu Guogong said, "Nan'er wants to sit in the middle palace, only Lafayette can be the master! And the queen, At the beginning, Lafayette had no choice but to choose the Tong family, but now that the court situation has changed, Lafayette must also think about replacing the queen!"

"But Lafayette seems to be very kind to Concubine Yi, so she won't support me!" Zhen Guifei said.

"Why Lafayette treats Concubine Yi well is because Concubine Yi has no background and is easily controlled by her! If you want to drive Concubine Yi away from Lafayette, Naner, you have to be obedient to Concubine Lafayette." As for me, let the Zhao family know our intentions by walking around with the Duke of England. What's more, the Zhao family has lost military power over the years, and what we have is military power. If the Zhao family wants to control the court, they will naturally want to make peace Let's unite! Lafayette is a very smart person, she will choose to support you!" Fu Guogong said.

Concubine Zhen nodded and replied, "Father, I understand. If that's the case, let's split up!"

Fuguo Gongfu must agree.

The Zhen family is planning their family's big plans in the Chengqian Palace, and the queen in the Yikun Palace is in a panic at this moment!
At night, when the Empress Dowager was still reading under the lamp, Hong Shanggong reported the Zhen family's plan to her.

"Zhen Zhongyan has developed a lot of mind over the years, and even thought of this level!" The Empress Dowager sneered.

"Yikun Palace said that the queen is in a terrible situation! She even told the emperor about adopting the eldest son of the emperor!" Hong Shanggong said.

The empress dowager put down the book, and said in thought: "The empress has done a lot of foolish things in these years, but after all, she has not made any major mistakes. If it is really necessary to abolish it, it will not be easy!"

"Why does this servant feel that the emperor has no intention of abolishing the empress? The empress has said that, but the emperor is not angry. Could it be that the emperor does not want to abolish her?" Hong Shanggong asked.

The Empress Dowager picked up the book again, stretched out her fingers to find the place where she had broken off just now, continued to read, and said, "That's because he still has no way to let Concubine Yi sit safely in the middle palace seat, otherwise, he would have already Replace Tong Huilan! Xuan Yu is not the kind of nostalgic person, besides, he has no feelings for Tong Huilan at all, not even Zhen Yunan!"

"Lafayette, what do you mean? Do you want to prepare to abolish the queen?" Hong Shanggong asked.

"Abolished, of course it is to be abolished. The Tong family has been disobedient these years, and followed this and that in a daze. It's just that the Ai family will not pick this one. The Zhen family is more nervous about this matter. Since they So pay attention, let them figure out a way!" The Empress Dowager said.

"However, once the Zhen family dominates and abolishes the empress, wouldn't it be necessary to make a noble concubine as the empress?" Hong Shanggong said.

"That's not necessarily the case! The emperor will never let the Zhen family's daughter be the queen, because he will not let the Zhen family's grandson be the prince!" The Empress Dowager said.

"That's right! The emperor treats Concubine Yi differently from others—" Hong Shanggong smiled, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Empress Dowager.

"Why are you so stupid? The prince can't have an uncle's family that is too powerful, otherwise, his relatives will interfere too much in the government affairs. Xuan Yu knows this too well! His father is a ready-made example, so Xuan Yu will never seek A powerful foreign relative! With so many people in the harem, he will definitely choose Concubine Yi, not because of feelings, but because Concubine Yi has no natal family. A wise emperor does not look at feelings when making decisions. The most stable path. Therefore, he will make Concubine Yi the queen and Concubine Yi's son the crown prince!" said the Empress Dowager.

Hong Shanggong hurriedly nodded in response: "The slaves are really getting worse!"

"You!" The Empress Dowager sighed, "If there is really no other way, Ai's family has to support Concubine Yi!"

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the empress dowager's old face,

Just when Ming Xuanyu was immersed in happiness, a battle for the position of the middle palace broke out in every corner!

Since discussing with her father and brother, Concubine Zhen not only had to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager every day, but also took Concubine De to visit the Palace of Compassion and Ning from time to time, watching theaters and chatting with the Empress Dowager.Of course the Empress Dowager knew Concubine Zhen's intentions, and she also learned of the Zhen family's card against Zhao Jialiang from the Duke of England and others. At this moment, all the pressure was on the Queen.

Ming Xuanyu also knew about these situations, but he didn't seem to pay any attention to them.He will also go to Chengqian Palace, because he wants to know the thoughts of the Zhen family in person.Yes, now everyone is aiming for the Queen's position.In this game, Ming Xuanyu completely pulled himself out, because he was the final decision maker, and he didn't need to stand on anyone's side.And everyone knows that there is only one person who can affect the outcome of this battle, and that is the Empress Dowager.However, the empress dowager never mentioned similar things to Ming Xuanyu, and she did not have any praise or criticism for the empress.As far as Ming Xuanyu understood, grandma was waiting for the most appropriate time.

Xinyi doesn't know the Zhen family's plan, and she doesn't seem to care about the Queen's position at all.It's just that, after seeing the Queen and Concubine Shu a few times, they always have to talk about Concubine Zhen.Since Xinyi had no personal contact with Concubine Zhen, she didn't know the specifics of the situation. It was just a long-term grudge between the two palaces.Until mid-November, Ming Xuanyu told her the whole story.

"You'd better not get involved in this matter, or it will hurt you!" He exhorted.

"If this is the case, isn't the queen really hopeless?" She never thought that one day she would care about the fate of the queen.

"If grandma also intends to dethrone the queen, then—" he said.

"What about yourself, don't you have an idea?" she asked rhetorically.

He glanced at her, bowed his head to play the piano, and said, "I won't make a decision until the situation is clear!"

She sat aside and pouted, and he continued: "You should also know the ins and outs of this matter. If the Zhen family wants to overthrow the queen, they want Yu Nan to be the queen, and Yu Nan is the queen. The benefits are obvious."

"You, it's not because you don't want Concubine Zhen to—" Hearing what he said, she suddenly found it hard to believe, and stared at him with wide eyes.

He stopped, held her hand and sighed: "You guy, you have been with me for so long, and you don't even understand my thoughts. Do you mean you are too stupid or should I criticize myself for hiding too much from you?"

She kept silent, because she didn't want to use her personal emotions and likes and dislikes to influence his decision. Perhaps, it was difficult for her to influence him, because he always had his own opinions.

"No matter what happens, you remember my words, protect yourself and your child, and you don't have to worry about what others are arguing about. I told you about this a long time ago, so that you don't get involved in the harem. Now , you should try to avoid it! Because I am worried that some of my decisions will hurt you!" His expression and words were so warm, what else could she not accept?

"I just want you to live a simple life without losing your original appearance!" He smiled.

"The way it was?"

He nodded: "Yes, the original appearance is the frankness when we first met, the bravery in Jinghua Palace that night, and, um, the stupid appearance all the time. This is the real You in my eyes!"

She was so happy in her heart, but she pretended to be unhappy on the surface, lowered her head and grabbed his finger, and said, "So you always thought I was a fool! I—" Hearing what she said, he laughed Hugging her, she didn't say a word anymore, just showing a sweet smile in his arms.

"Innocence is not the same as stupidity! For the people and things around you, it is good to have your own ideas, and you don't have to show them, or force others to accept your views. For many people, such an approach will eventually lead to Hurt yourself." He held her face in his hands, "In this world, how to protect yourself is the most important thing! You are the same. Don't think about relying on me for everything, and you are not that kind of person."

She nodded with a smile.

He didn't tell her exactly how he viewed things now because he was afraid of burdening her.

By the end of November, actions against the Tong family had clearly appeared in the court.

The most direct one is that when Yang Dezhang was in power, some crimes of the Tong family colluding with the Yang family were all exposed, and even the Huo family of Concubine Shu's mother's family were also involved.This was a premeditated investigation, but it was also an investigation following the emperor's order, which was promulgated by the emperor after King Yu returned home.Like countless political struggles in ancient and modern times, this series of cases was cloaked in the cloak of justice in order to achieve some people's private goals.Whether it is for righteousness or self-interest, only the parties themselves know.How many people on the sidelines can see clearly?What is the truth is just the rhetoric of those who have the right to speak.

It is worth noting that some officials close to the Zhao family also joined the fight against the Tong family.Does this mean that the Zhao family and the Zhen family have formed an alliance?But because there is no direct evidence, Ming Xuanyu is not sure about this. What he is sure of is that the relationship between these two families is indeed much warmer than before.There are even rumors that Zhen Guifei's younger sister is likely to marry Yinghou Zhao Mo as his wife.If this marriage is successful, it means that the alliance between the Zhao Zhen family has officially formed!

Regarding this rumor, Ming Xuanyu also spoke out in front of the Empress Dowager one day, of course, he pretended to say it unintentionally.

"Zhao Mo should have started a family a long time ago. Yu Nan's younger sister should be a good candidate!" He said this, wanting to ask grandma's opinion.

The Empress Dowager trimmed the dead branches of the plum blossoms in the flower pot in the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and said: "A few families offered him a marriage proposal before, and it seems that the child was rejected, and the British Duke is also very troubled by this! "

"I don't know what his thoughts are. However, for this kind of thing, my grandson thinks that Zhao Mo should have his own idea, grandma said, right?" he said.
