The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

"Queen, please calm down!"

Xiangmo didn't expect that what he did in private would be known to the queen.

She quickly walked aside and knelt down, defending herself and saying, "The Queen is wise! This slave has absolutely no selfish motives for doing this, it is all for the Queen!

"Yuan Zhaoyi is so pampered!

"Even when we were in the East Palace, the Holy Emperor favored Concubine Xie, but she had never been like this!

"I am really worried. If you continue to sit back and watch Yuan Zhaoyi gain favor and rise higher and higher step by step, you will definitely threaten the Queen's status in the future!"

The Queen sighed slightly when she heard this.

She walked over from the desk, leaned over and helped Xiang Mo up.

"You are really confused!" the queen said earnestly, "Do you think the Holy Emperor is some kind of foolish emperor? He will give the queen's position to whomever he favors? If he was really such an emperor, then I would not have been crown prince in those days. The position of a concubine, let alone becoming a queen!”

"The Queen..." Xiangmo still didn't understand.

"The Holy One is a wise king who values ​​the rules of the ancestors. The Xie family is the only one in power, and he joins forces with the Cui family to control the government. He is almost in conflict with the Holy One. For this reason, the Holy One did not let the Xie family become the Crown Princess. Yuan Zhao The reason why Yi is so favored is because her words and deeds are in line with the wishes of the Holy Emperor. When did she not help the Holy Emperor to attack Concubine Xie again and again? Now it is even more so that Concubine Xie has lost her position as a noble concubine, and also lost her Regarding the custody of the eldest prince, do you know how much trouble she has solved for the Lord by doing so?" the queen said.

"Slave... I don't understand." Xiangmo shook his head slightly.

"The reason why Prime Minister Xie dared to speak so loudly in the court was because he thought Concubine Xie had the eldest prince in her hands, and he wanted to promote the eldest prince as the future crown prince. But once the eldest prince's mother-in-law changed someone, do you think that in the court? Will you continue to follow Prime Minister Xie?" the queen asked again.

"Slave, I understand..." Xiangmo's expression was still a little confused.

"In short, for the same reason, Shengshang attaches great importance to the ancestral rules. As long as I make no mistakes, I will always be the queen. No one can threaten my status. On the contrary, it was you who acted recklessly this time. Fortunately, Zhou Jieyu did not You confess, otherwise, won't I be implicated? Once the Holy One notices that I have a lack of moral character, I, the queen, will be really in danger." The Queen simply broke the truth to Xiang Mo. .

"The Queen, I understand. I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future. I will obey the Queen's instructions in everything. I will never act rashly again!" Xiangmo really understood this time and said quickly and respectfully.

"As long as you understand, you and Xiang Yan are the people I trust most. From now on, just stay by my side and serve me, and don't care about anything else. As for Yuan Zhaoyi, this harem is what she is now So what if the family is the only one in the family? There will always be people who can't stand her and attack her. What's more, the Queen Mother is coming back soon. Don't forget, the Queen Mother likes Concubine Xie very much." The Queen raised her hand and caressed her gently. Xiangmo's shoulders, his smile wide and warm.

"Yes, I don't have to worry about it, slave." Seeing that the queen didn't punish him, Xiangmo was really moved and vowed from the bottom of his heart that he would be more loyal to the queen in the future.

Xiang Yan listened quietly and remained silent.

However, he was thinking quietly in his heart that Xiang Mo went to find Zhou Cainu and asked Zhou Cainu to drug Yuan Zhaoyi to make her unable to conceive. Was it really Xiang Mo's idea and not the Queen's suggestion?

……

……

The Queen Mother returned in time on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, accompanied by King Xian and Princess Xian. Jing Shu followed Lu Zan and went to greet the Queen Mother together with the Queen and other concubines in the harem.

The last time Jing Shu saw the Queen Mother was when she was in the East Palace.

It's just that she was not favored at that time, and the Queen Mother did not like to see her.

However, Jingshu was not afraid of meeting the Queen Mother. What really made her nervous was King Xian.

Not long after, the Queen Mother's carriage entered the city gate, stopped all the way to the Gate of Supreme Harmony, and drove her away in a sedan chair.

"We sincerely welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health."

When they saw the Queen Mother, the Queen and her concubines saluted her.

"Everyone, get up." The Queen Mother smiled gently with a slightly tired look on her face.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." The queen and the concubines stood up one after another.

The Queen Mother glanced at everyone's faces, paused for a moment on Jing Shu's face, and then turned away again as if she didn't see anything.

After looking around and not seeing Concubine Xie, I couldn't help but frown and asked, "Where is Concubine Xie?"

Jing Shu lowered her head slightly and pursed her lips to cover up the smile she couldn't control.

Although the Queen Mother is not in the palace, it is impossible that the news has not been delivered to her for so many days, and it is impossible that she does not know about Concubine Xie's demotion. She is asking this deliberately now, maybe she is not trying to pretend to be confused and call Lu Zan. Concubine Xie was relieved of her guilt.

"Now that there is no concubine in the palace, who does the Queen Mother want to ask?" At this time, Lu Zan looked at the Queen Mother with a calm face and asked clearly.

He didn't even call her Queen Mother, but addressed her as Queen Mother rather distantly. He actually didn't intend to give her any face, and it also made it clear that he couldn't give in on the matter of Concubine Xie.

At this time, the Queen Mother also looked at him.

After a while, she looked away and smiled lightly: "I'm tired of the Ai family. Let's go back to Cining Palace to rest."

But he no longer mentioned the matter of the imperial concubine.

After that, the Queen Mother returned to Cining Palace, and Lu Zan also went to the Imperial Study Room to handle court affairs. Naturally, the concubines also returned to their respective palaces.

Jingshu also returned to Yicui Palace.

"Last time, I asked my servant to deliver the news to the prince, and I have already delivered it." After learning that King Xian had returned to the capital and returned to Prince Xian's mansion, Xiu Dong took advantage of Xiu Qing's absence and whispered to Jing Shu, "The prince wrote back and said , he knows everything about the palace recently, he praised the empress for doing a good job, and also said that Xie Xiang’s faction has been greatly weakened recently, which is a good thing for the prince. "

"The prince is satisfied, that's good." Jing Shu smiled slightly.

In fact, I was cursing people in my heart.

She didn't like the feeling of being restricted.

Perhaps it was time for her to plan her next step.

How can we get rid of Taifu, Mrs. Li and the wise king?

At the moment, it seems that only if the three of them die can she be completely safe. Otherwise, these three people are the three swords of Damocles hanging above her head. If any one of them falls, she will be completely safe. Fragile heads severed.

Jing Shu thought deeply that she could not use Lu Zan's hands to deal with these three people, otherwise, they would definitely betray her before she died.

The best thing is that these three people can die in accidents.

But this is not something that can be done with talk. First of all, she doesn’t have the manpower needed to plan this thing. Not to mention, there are also Xiu Qing, Xiu Dong, and a substitute wife. Fu Mansion stared at her, and a substitute king stared at her.

No matter what she does, what she says, or every move she makes, it will be known to the Taifu Mansion and the wise king.

Jingshu sat there with her forehead in one hand, thinking hard in her heart.

Headache, headache.
