Cao Qinmo waited for another two days, and seeing that the rumors were getting more and more intense, she knew that the royal mother and son wanted to kill Cao Qinmo.

Cao Qinmo did not feel disappointed and immediately started to launch a counterattack plan.

Within half a day, rumors about the Queen Mother's romantic affair spread throughout the palace.

Everyone knows about the Empress Dowager's affairs with a certain minister.

The emperor's face turned extremely dark. Only a few people knew about this. It was a secret and it was better to keep it to oneself.

But now that so many people know about it, how could the emperor, the Son of Heaven, be shameless?

Furthermore, if people began to question the emperor’s bloodline because of this rumor, the emperor would lose his throne.

In order to gain the throne, the emperor had no choice but to give up the empress dowager.

First, they killed a group of palace servants to scare the monkeys and quell the spread of rumors in the palace.

Then, the news that the Queen Mother had contracted the disease was released.

On the surface, the empress dowager died of an epidemic, but in fact she was sent to a temple in Mount Wutai.

After the Queen Mother left the palace, Cao Qinmo no longer hid her life-saving trump card.

Wen Shichu handed over a prescription for treating the epidemic, and said frankly that it was an improved version of the prescription Cao Qinmo found while reading ancient books.

The prescription for the epidemic was indeed effective, and Wen Shichu's position in the Imperial Hospital was promoted twice.

The emperor knew about Cao Qinmo's contribution this time, but he did not reflect on himself and felt guilty for conspiring with the empress dowager to get rid of Cao Qinmo.

The emperor blamed the queen for his previous plan to deal with Cao Qinmo, thinking that it was because the queen was dishonest that the queen mother came up with the plan to kill the mother and take away the son.

The emperor was unhappy, so he reduced the share of the empress in confinement from that of an empress to that of a concubine, and also cut half of the people around the empress.

The emperor also gave Cao Qinmo some rewards as compensation.

After Cao Qinmo finished her confinement and went through the ceremony of conferring the title of imperial concubine, the emperor wanted to share the power of the palace with Cao Qinmo.

Cao Qinmo initially declined, saying that she simply did not have the energy to take care of two children.

The emperor said, "There are only Concubine Jing and you in the harem now, and Concubine Jing can't handle it all by herself. You helped Concubine Hua with palace affairs before, so try taking over two positions first."

Seeing the emperor's determination, Cao Qinmo accepted it: "I will obey the emperor's order and do my best to manage the palace affairs."

Because of framing the twins, Concubine Qi was demoted to concubine by the emperor, and is now Concubine Qi.

Cao Qinmo would not deliberately make things difficult for such an obviously stupid person, but after all, this person had harmed her and her child, so there was no way she would let him go.

After Cao Qinmo moved to Yongshou Palace, she went to Yiku Palace again.

Concubine Hua has been raising her for almost a year and now she can walk into the yard.

Seeing Cao Qinmo coming, Concubine Hua glanced at her and snorted.

Songzhi quickly came to the rescue and said, "Empress Yu, you are finally here. The Imperial Concubine has missed you."

Cao Qinmo bowed respectfully: "I pay my respects to Her Majesty Hua Guifei. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health."

Concubine Hua turned to look at Cao Qinmo, and after a few breaths she said, "Get up."

Cao Qinmo remained respectful: "Yes."

Having just finished her confinement, Cao Qinmo would not sit on the cold stone bench, so she stood and asked with concern, "How is your health, Madam?"

Concubine Hua said coldly: "But I can't die."

Cao Qinmo was not annoyed. Nian Shilan was just like that. She had been spoiled since she was a child and had this temper towards others.

Only in front of the emperor was Nian Shilan respectful and polite.

Songzhi served tea and had someone bring a chair over, and Cao Qinmo then sat down.

Concubine Hua said impatiently: "Since you have seen me, please leave as soon as possible."

Cao Qinmo slowed down her voice and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is now deposed, which is a good opportunity for Your Majesty."

Concubine Hua lowered her head and stared at Cao Qinmo, the impatience in her eyes turned into raging ambition.
