Chapter 281 Queen's Strategy
The Empress Dowager personally offered a stick of incense for Concubine Shun.

She looked at the mourning hall and sighed: "I have been in the palace for six years, and now I am leaving before this old man. It is really unexpected."

She looked at the concubines in the harem, and finally her eyes fell on the queen.

The Empress Dowager said: "The Empress must make good arrangements for Concubine Shun's death and give her a generous burial."

The queen lowered her eyebrows and nodded, "Yes."

After the matter of the concubine Shun came to light, Ye Xiaomo quietly began to collect evidence for the empress' murder of the dragon's heir.

The first person she aimed at was Yinshuang, the maidservant next to the empress.

Dabai asked puzzledly, "Master, why did you collect the Queen's evidence?"

Ye Xiaomo was eating the pastries on the table and really didn't want to answer Dabai's question.

"Now the emperor hasn't even seen a shadow. How long has the emperor been awake? Oh... let me think about it... five days, right? He hasn't even stepped into the harem, so he wants to rely on the emperor It is obviously unrealistic to be a queen at the moment."

Ye Xiaomo sighed after saying this: "The empress and Concubine Lan are the two most powerful in the harem now. As for the others, they are not enough. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Concubine Lan relies on the emperor's past favor and the love of the empress dowager. The empress What they rely on is their position in the main palace. If they fight now, one of them will always lose."

Ye Xiaomo swallowed a piece of pastry.

"So I decided to help Concubine Lan pull the queen down first."

Dabai was surprised: "But...Master, isn't the Queen here to help you? Why are you standing with Concubine Lan now?"

Ye Xiaomo rolled his eyes: "It's true that the queen wants to help me, but that's just using me. Once Concubine Lan falls, it will be more difficult to get the queen down. Then when will my task be completed, let alone ... This queen has a vicious mind, I just don't want her to get what she wants."

Dabai was confused: "That seems to make sense."

Ye Xiaomo stretched out: "So I want to collect the evidence of the queen, and then use Concubine Lan's hand to pull the queen from the back seat, and then use the spirit of speech skills to make the emperor fall in love with me... Hehe, when the time comes Shouldn’t I sit on the queen’s seat?”

Dabai blushed: "..."

What is the logic?
……

Yinshuang has been quite troubled recently.

On the day when the palace held an annual meeting with relatives outside the palace, Yinshuang met her elderly mother outside the palace gate.

The old mother told her that her brother Buzhi broke his leg, and her sister-in-law took away all the savings of the family, and her brother was forced to lie at home unable to move because he had no money for medical treatment.

When the old mother talked about the emotional part, she couldn't help but shed tears. She cried and looked at Yinshuang and said, "My daughter, I know I'm sorry for you, and I sent you to the palace at a young age, but your brother Now that the leg is broken but there is no money to pick it up, the doctor said that if you miss the best treatment period, you will not be able to stand up in the future, do you have the heart to watch your brother become a paralyzed man?"

Yinshuang was a little embarrassed: "Mom, it's not that I won't give you money. It's actually the last time you asked someone to send me a message saying that your brother owed gambling debts and asked me for money. I have already used all my savings over the years to pay off the debts. But now where is the money?"

Her old mother squeezed her hands tightly, obviously not believing it, and cried and begged: "How much is that... You have been in the palace for so many years, and you are the maid next to the queen... The rewards from the queen must be quite a lot... You If you pawn one of them, you'll definitely... you'll be able to raise money for your brother's medical treatment!"

Yinshuang had a headache, she struggled and said: "Those rewards cannot be taken out of the palace, and things in the palace are found outside... they will be taken to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for execution!"

The old mother still didn't believe it, she cried and accused: "Where is there anything you can do? Now that you have been rewarded, it's not that you can deal with it as you want, mother begged you like this, how can you still refuse to let go, you Do you really have to be so cruel? Do you really want to watch your brother become paralyzed?"

This time the meeting broke up unhappy, but the next day Yinshuang received a message from the person who transported vegetables and fruits outside her Amato.

Her mother said that her brother had a high fever all night, and his condition was very critical, and he was waiting for her to give him money for medicine.

Yinshuang really didn't have a few cents in her hand, she asked someone to send the monthly money she gave last month to the palace, so there was no way she could get the money out.

She intended to ask someone to borrow money for an emergency, but unfortunately, the people who asked said that they were not rich enough to borrow money.

Yinshuang thought about it for a long time and had no choice but to ask the Queen shamelessly.

But as soon as she approached the inner hall, she saw the queen throwing a cup of tea to the ground.

The queen who just came back from the outside was obviously angry, she was venting her anger with staring eyes, and even scolded her for suddenly breaking in.

Yinshuang held back her tears and retreated, feeling a mess in her heart, she didn't know if her old mother was still waiting for her life-saving money, and how her brother's situation was, but she really didn't dare to bother the empress.

"Aunt Yin... Aunt Yin?"

Yinshuang came back to her senses and looked at the little maid in front of her.

"Aunt Yin, did you forget? Didn't you just tell us to go with you to the Huanyiyuan to fetch the Queen's clothes?"

Only now did Yinshuang recall such a thing in a daze, so she forced herself to say: "Okay, then let's go now, you follow me."

So they left Chuxiu Palace and came to the Huanyi Courtyard. After taking the clothes, they were about to go back, but they ran into the maid of Chaoyang Palace and Shen Changzai head-on.

Shen Chang took a step back after catching the wooden case that almost fell to the ground, looked at her and said, "What's wrong with Aunt Yinshuang? Are you so absent-minded?"

Yinshuang didn't want to tangle with her any more, so she just smiled and said: "I'm a little confused today, please don't take offense at Shen Changzai." After saying that, he reached out and took the wooden case in Shen Changzai's hand, and bent down towards her. He bowed and said, "This slave has met Shen Changzai."

Shen Changzai said "hmm", told them not to salute, and walked over.

But she stopped in the next second.

"Chang Shen is waiting."

But it turned out that a palace maid was running behind her.

The palace lady ran over panting and stopped in front of them. She first bowed to Shen, then took out a bag of silver from her bosom and handed it to Shen Changzai, saying, "Shen Changzai... Is this servant here?" Thank you for paying back your money, last time, if it wasn't for your help, my mother would be hopeless!"

Shen Changzai seemed to have carefully identified the lady-in-waiting, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, don't give me back your money, I am very satisfied with the clothes you helped me wash last time, let me treat it as a reward for you !” With that, he was about to leave.
