Chapter 273 Queen's Strategy
Empress Sun presented the brochure of the family banquet to the Empress Dowager. After the Empress Dowager read it, she didn't say anything, but sent someone to pass a sentence to Empress Sun.Tell her to pick a good day.

The queen made up her mind, so she made up her mind to see the emperor.

Unexpectedly, after she walked to Qianqing Palace, she was still told that the emperor was unwell and didn't want to see anyone.

The father-in-law stopped Empress Sun at the gate of the palace and said: "Your Majesty, please go back. The emperor is not feeling well when he came in. The slaves just thanked a group of officials for leaving. Please don't disturb the emperor's rest."

Empress Sun frowned, and Yinshuang behind her was about to speak, but was stopped by her.

"In that case, then I will ask Eunuch to pass on a message."

The father-in-law nodded and said, "Please tell me, empress."

The queen said: "This palace wants to gather the people in the harem to hold a family banquet at the beginning of next month. It means to pray for the emperor, and my father-in-law will tell the emperor."

The father-in-law laughed immediately: "Of course the servants will pass on the words of the queen empress, and the empress will just wait for the emperor to reply."

The queen nodded, and led the maids behind her to turn around and leave.

She walked halfway but slowly stopped.

Yinshuang was the closest, and Dang even asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"The emperor hasn't seen anyone recently?" She seemed to be talking to herself, and seemed a little strange, "Did Concubine Lan ever go to see the emperor?"

Yinshuang was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said: "Young maidservant, go check it out now, empress, don't worry."

The queen nodded, and then continued to walk forward.

When Yinshuang passed the news to Chuxiu Palace, she was really surprised.

"Concubine Lan went to look for her three times, but all of them were stopped by the gatekeeper's father-in-law."

Empress Sun's eyes showed surprise: "There is such a thing?"

Concubine Lan was favored before, how could Empress Sun not know? Even she had to avoid her edge, not to mention that Concubine Lan is still pregnant with a dragon heir. It is precisely because of this that the queen only thinks about it when the emperor wakes up. Trying to distract the emperor's attention, so as to prevent Concubine Lan's holy favor from getting worse, who knows that the emperor is now willing to reject Concubine Lan.

"But I can find out why?" There was a hint of urgency in her voice that she didn't realize.

Yinshuang shook her head and said: "Not yet. The consistent rhetoric from Qianqing Palace is that the emperor is unwell and does not want to see people."

"What about the Empress Dowager? Did she ever go to see the Qianqing Palace?"

Now Yinshuang nodded and said: "Go, but she went directly into the hall, no one stopped her."

"What's the reason? Could it be that the Empress Dowager is the only one who can visit the emperor?" After saying this, the empress seemed to feel that something was wrong, and waved her hand to make the maids around her retreat.

She motioned Yinshuang to come closer and asked, "Could it be that the emperor has some serious illness?"

Yinshuang's heart skipped a beat, knowing in her heart that this was beyond what a maidservant should talk about, so she knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

"Your Majesty, don't think too much about it. Since the Emperor doesn't want to see the concubines in the harem, then the Emperor has his own thoughts. The Empress only needs to manage the harem well, and don't think about it wildly."

Empress Sun nodded and thought: "This is natural. Since the Empress Dowager has also agreed to hold a family banquet, it should be no big deal for the Emperor. I can wait until next month."

Having said this, Queen Sun looked up at Yin Shuang, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up quickly."

Yin Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground.

Empress Sun said: "I just need to make Concubine Lan no longer a holy family member, so that she will not be an eyesore in front of my eyes."

Yinshuang nodded: "May the empress finally achieve her wish."

……

After Ye Xiaomo hurriedly returned to Chaoyang Palace, he quickly ordered someone to close the gate of Chaoyang Palace.

She grabbed the teacup on one side and opened the lid to have a drink, but unexpectedly, she choked herself before swallowing a few mouthfuls of tea.

Lan Yue quickly patted her back and said, "Chang Zai, please drink slowly."

Ye Xiaomo: "Cough cough cough...cough cough cough"

She had tears and runny nose, and finally recovered.

"Okay... okay, I'm fine!"

Ye Xiaomo took a deep breath as he spoke, finally calming down his messy breathing, and hurriedly motioned to Lan Yue not to pat her back again.

"Just now... I was scared to death just now." Ye Xiaomo said with a sigh.

Lanyue felt a little scared when she thought that Chang Zai actually talked back to the prince just now.

"Fortunately, we ran fast." Lanyue said, and couldn't help exhaling.

Ye Xiaomo had recovered by now, she glanced at the closed palace door and saw that no one was chasing her, so she stopped thinking about it.

She sat in front of the table and supported the table with her hands in some distress, lost in thought.

What the queen said to her before is still lingering in her mind. She pondered for a while, but she didn't find that Lanyue was looking at her.

"Chang Zai, what are you thinking?"

Ye Xiaomo looked up and saw Lanyue looking at her, he quickly waved his hands and said: "It's okay, you can go and do your work, I have nothing to do here."

Lanyue was a little puzzled, but listened to Ye Xiaomo's words and withdrew.

Ye Xiaomo was the only one left in the room.

The fact that the Queen is so impatient to stand on her side and help her bring down Concubine Lan only shows that the Queen is already very afraid of Concubine Lan. In fact, Concubine Lan's existence has threatened the Queen's status, so the Queen has to worry. He enlisted the help of Lan Fei to fight against him.

But Ye Xiaomo's biggest goal is to bring down the queen, not Concubine Lan.

But if she doesn't agree to Empress Sun, she will most likely be abandoned. If she can't become an ally, she will undoubtedly be an enemy in disguise.

In fact, as Shen Jiayi was always present, Ye Xiaomo had no choice at all, or the right to choose was never in Ye Xiaomo's hands, but in the hands of the queen.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomo quickly stood up, opened the door and shouted: "Lan Yue!"

Lan Yue, who was cleaning the road leaves with Yan Zi, raised her head and looked into the room.

Ye Xiaomo said: "Please accompany me to the Queen's palace."

Lan Yue was a little surprised, but still nodded and said: "Yes."

The two left Chaoyang Palace one after the other, then went directly to Chuxiu Palace, and arrived at the gate of Chuxiu Palace not long after.

Ye Xiaomo said to the eunuch guarding the gate: "Eunuch, please report that Shen Changzai from Chaoyang Palace is here to see the empress."

The gatekeeper glanced at the master, and said politely: "The trouble is always waiting, the servant will go now."

Then he backed away.

After a while, a report came: "Queen, please come in."
