After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Today, the hot topic in the streets and alleys of Shengjing is "The Queen is guilty." Notices written by the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet are posted all over the streets.

The notice listed the crimes of Jiang Xue Ning, the former queen who had only been queen for one day.

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are: one is that he committed murder on the wedding day; two is that he ordered people to set fire to the imperial palace; three is that he fled for fear of punishment and proclaimed himself king in Hunan and Chu.

In short, her crimes are so heinous that anyone should kill her!

In the temporary palace, Madam Xiao went to see her daughter. She couldn't help but talk about this matter, "She didn't want to be a good queen, but she had to be a traitor."

She also taught Xiao Linglong, "You must not learn from her. The most important thing for you now is to secure your position as the Empress, live in harmony with His Majesty, and give birth to a prince as soon as possible."

The new emperor came to the throne, and there was only one queen in the harem. Interested families were all eyeing the vacancies in the harem, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.

The harem in every dynasty was closely related to the previous dynasty. If one could send a daughter in to become a favored concubine or give birth to a son or daughter, wealth and glory would be assured.

Therefore, many people in the court submitted memorials, asking Xiao Linfeng to select concubines to enrich his harem.

Xiao Linfeng refused on the grounds that the current situation was turbulent and the selection was extravagant. However, the ministers and noble families still did not give up and continued to write to Xiao Linfeng asking him to hold a small selection.

The scope was narrowed down to the families of ministers. In short, everyone wanted to send their daughters in to try their luck.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and facing the pressure from the aristocratic families, Xiao Linfeng was reluctant to express his position.

Madam Xiao naturally hoped that her daughter would come out on top, so she went to the palace this time to give her the so-called nourishing medicine to help her conceive a dragon seed as soon as possible.

Facing Madam Xiao's eager gaze, Xiao Linglong smiled bitterly, "How can things in the harem be that simple?" She changed the subject and asked, "I asked you to find someone who used to serve Aunt Xin. Have you found her?"

Madam Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and she obviously didn't take this matter to heart. "Why are you looking for someone around a concubine whose life or death is unknown? It's better to give birth to a prince as soon as possible."

Xiao Linglong was a little angry and said seriously, "I asked you to find it, of course I have my reasons. Mother, you don't think that I can sit back and relax after giving birth to a prince, right?"

"With Xiao Shujin's fate in the past, we are all just pawns pushed out by Xiao Qiluo. Who knows, Xiao Shujin's fate may be mine one day."

"No!" Madam Xiao's face turned pale and she said excitedly, "You are the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, you will never end up like that!"

Xiao Linglong sneered, cruelly shattering her beautiful dream, "So what if she is the legitimate daughter? Except for her, all the daughters of the Xiao family can be sacrificed."

What made her most uneasy was that even though Xiao Linfeng was promoted, Xiao Qiluo did not show up. She had no idea what she was planning in secret. The unknown was the most terrifying.

Madam Xiao clenched the handkerchief in her hand, still unwilling to give up, "Xiao Shujin ended up like that because she didn't have a son. If you had given birth to a prince, everything would have been different."

……

Xiao Linglong had nothing to say, she just felt deeply exhausted. Although Madam Xiao loved her, her eyes were only limited to the backyard. It was still the same old saying that the husband is the heaven and the mother is honored by her son.

Vanilla came in with her head down, as if she had something to say. Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, she quietly retreated to the corner.

Xiao Linglong didn't want to argue with Madam Xiao about this issue, so she looked at her directly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiangcao came out, bowed her head and knelt down, saying, "I just received news after the morning court session. His Majesty said that after the queen gives birth to a prince and the harem is stable, he will select noble ladies to fill the harem."

After she finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall. Xiao Linglong's face turned even colder and looked extremely ugly.

Madam Xiao seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw, and said anxiously, "It's no wonder that you have called him brother for so many years. After all, he still has you in his heart and will protect you."

"Mother, do you think this is protection?" Xiao Lin Linglong sneered and said sarcastically, "This is clearly putting me on the fire. Those noble families must hate me to death. Soon I will be known as the queen's favorite and jealous person."

Madam Xiao had been fighting in the rear house for so many years, so she certainly knew that being too prominent was not a good thing.

But we have come to this point and can't turn back. She held Xiao Linglong's hand and said earnestly, "It's different. You are the queen. As long as you don't make a big mistake, those ministers and noble families can't do anything to you openly."

"Now that things have come to this, you should listen to your mother and give birth to a prince as soon as possible. No matter what happens in the future, His Majesty will always show some mercy to you for the sake of the child."

Xiao Linglong took back her hand, feeling pathetic. She had finally come to this point, and had to rely on giving birth to a son to maintain her position.

And she doubted whether she could really give birth to a child.

From the outside, she was the most powerful one in the harem, and Xiao Linfeng favored her. In fact, they had not consummated their marriage yet.

Since Xiao Linfeng didn't mention this matter, she didn't ask. She just handled it coldly, which made Xiao Linfeng's words of waiting for her to give birth to a prince seem even more ridiculous.

She said tiredly, "Mom, when you go back, you must look for the old man who was with Aunt Xin. It will be of great use to me!"

Seeing her so serious, Madam Xiao finally took the matter to heart, "Mom knows, I will definitely get it done for you."

The time was almost up, Xiao Linglong rewarded her with a lot of things and sent someone to escort her out of the palace.

She locked herself in the study, looked at the imperial edict that stated the queen was guilty, sneered and said, "Throughout history, men have fought for power, and in the end, it was always women who were guilty..."

Xiao Shujin is guilty... Jiang Xue Ning is guilty... One day it will be her turn.

Even the founding Empress Dugu was accused of interfering in government affairs from the harem in the later period, and her power was gradually stripped away.

Seeing her distressed, Vanilla softly comforted her, "Your Majesty, His Majesty will not treat you like that."

"If he really had good things for me, he wouldn't have said those things and put me in the spotlight."

Xiao Linglong felt that she couldn't be too soft. They had been living in peace before. She didn't care if they didn't consummate the marriage. After all, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

"Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare wine and food. Xiangcao, you go and personally invite His Majesty to come for dinner in the evening."

Didn't they say that after she gave birth to a prince, the palace would admit new people? Giving birth to a prince was not something she could do alone.

Since he said this, she wanted to ask how to give birth and what the rules were.

It doesn't make sense that she should take all the blame and bear all the pressure.

She carefully put on makeup in front of the mirror, but there was no definite evidence and she couldn't find the reason.

But she could sensitively sense that "having children" was a taboo for Xiao Linfeng. Not welcoming new people into the palace was simply because he didn't want so many women.

Since he pushed her to the forefront and made her life difficult, she was prepared to fight back and could not let him stay out of it and be too comfortable.

They have to share the pressure of giving birth to a prince!
