When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

Shoukang Palace.

"Okay, you've served me all day. You're not tired, but I can see that you're tired too." The empress dowager leaned against the head of the bed, looking at Shen Meizhuang who was busy beside her.

I felt relieved in my heart, but I couldn't help but say something to drive him away.

Shen Meizhuang smiled, turned her head to look at the Queen Mother, and deliberately said, "The Queen Mother may find me annoying, but even if she finds me annoying, I will never leave her."

"You are a girl, what are you doing in front of an old woman like me all day long? The important thing is to go to the emperor and try your best to please him." The empress dowager pursed her lips and smiled gently.

Even the look he gave Shen Meizhuang was gentle.

Shen Meizhuang shook her head slowly, "Pleasuring the Emperor is important, but is pleasing the Empress Dowager not important? The Emperor governs the country with filial piety, so isn't the Empress Dowager the most important thing in this world?"

She always knew how to make the Queen Mother happy, and she was very powerful in her words, one sentence after another.

The Queen Mother also liked it very much.

The Queen Mother was naturally happy in her heart, but now, whatever Shen Meizhuang said only made her smile.

I still feel bitter.

"Okay, I understand your filial piety, but you have been working hard for half a day, and it is time to go back and rest. The queen will come in the afternoon, so you can go back first."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's order to expel her was so obvious, Shen Meizhuang no longer tried to keep her.

She stood up and bowed, "Yes, I will take my leave now. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I will come again tomorrow."

"Yes." The Queen Mother raised her hand and watched her go.

As she waited for Shen Meizhuang to leave, the little warmth left in her eyes disappeared.

The eyes like dead wood just stared blankly.

During the days she was sick, she figured out a lot of things.

Longkodo's death was imminent, and she could no longer stop it.

But all this happened too hastily and too suddenly, so she had to doubt.

How Nian Gengyao escaped unscathed from the emperor's presence.

And how did they quietly disappear in the impending trend of the year-end recession?

How could he make all the civil and military officials point their swords at one place and expose Longkodo to the emperor's sight?

And all of this seems to be inseparable from Nian Shilan, who is becoming increasingly stable in the harem.

Zhen Huan had a miscarriage, and she was alone except for Cao Qinmo who knew all the evidence of her crimes.

Although everyone suspected that she did it, there was no evidence at all.

Regarding Prince Dun's rebellion, she took the initiative to request to go to Penglai Island with Zhen Huan, not only avoiding the matter, but also allowing the Nian family to perform the merit of protecting the emperor in this matter.

Next is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When he came to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects, he inadvertently mentioned the gift sent by Longkodo in front of the emperor.

This is what triggered it all.

This planted the seed in the emperor's heart that he must get rid of Longkodo.

She was so angry that she started coughing violently.

Zhuxi hurried forward and handed her a handkerchief.

By the way, he whispered in her ear, "Queen Mother, the Queen has arrived."

"Send her in quickly."

The queen slowly stepped forward and stood in front of the empress dowager, bowing slightly, "I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

The Queen Mother raised her hand and said, "Come, sit in front of me. Everyone else, get off."

Everything was arranged, and the Queen sat on the stool in front of the Queen Mother, looking at her with sad eyes.

She was the first to speak, "Is the Queen Mother feeling better? Has she taken the medicine the imperial doctors sent?"

The Queen Mother chuckled, obviously knowing that her greeting was just lip service and just a polite question.

She neither wanted to answer nor was she too lazy to mention it.

"Whether my health is good or not is not something I can decide. The imperial physician's prescription can only cure my body, but not my heart."

The queen understood the hidden meaning in the queen mother's words, "Is the queen mother worried?"

"Hasn't the Queen had any? Now that Nian Shilan is becoming more and more favored, the Emperor has restored her to the position of Imperial Concubine and is also handing the prince over to her for upbringing. She is cautious at every step, but you are careful at every turn. Isn't the Queen worried?"

When the Queen Mother mentioned Nian Shilan, the Queen lowered her eyes, and a hint of bitterness appeared in her expression.

"It is I who am useless."

"If you were useless, I would not have chosen you to be the queen. Don't forget why I chose you, and don't forget what you should defend the most."

It is the glory of the entire Ulanara family, and the woman sitting on the throne is from the Ulanara family.

The Queen understood, and she will always remember it.

"I am ignorant, please give me some advice, Madam Empress."

The Queen Mother chuckled, "It's not that you don't understand the art of checks and balances in the harem, do you still need me to teach you personally? My health is getting worse day by day, and you should know what to do. I can protect you for one thing, but I can't protect you every day."

The Queen nodded, "Yes, I understand. The Queen Mother is in good health. Please don't say such discouraging words. I am very worried."

In fact, the queen always knew what to do.

She had even thought about it and arranged it.

I came here today just to test the Queen Mother's feelings.

Step by step, she confirmed that the Queen Mother thought the same as she did, and the situation became clear.

If she just can't tolerate Nian Shilan, then it will be useless.

But if she and the Queen Mother cannot tolerate Nian Shilan, and urgently need Nian Shilan to fall from power, then this is what is inevitable.

"Now that the Fourth Prince is being raised by the Imperial Concubine, it's not bad. Since the Emperor doesn't like him, this is your advantage. The Third Prince is the eldest son after all. I will persuade the Emperor to continue raising the Third Prince in your palace."

The Queen Mother spoke slowly, ignoring Yixiu's words of concern.

"It's just that Concubine Li was pregnant, but she almost lost it. Such a confused and careless person has never been able to raise a royal heir, especially since she lives in the Yikun Palace. The Yikun Palace must not allow two more princes to leave the palace, you know."

The Queen nodded, "Yes, I know what to do. Concubine Wan is a smart person and knows how to take good care of herself. Unlike Concubine Li, the Queen Mother should be relieved."

"The Emperor loves Concubine Wan, and it's time for the whole palace to have some children's laughter. However, there are few children in the palace. As the Empress, you should think about it. Many concubines in the palace are useless. It would be good to pick some good ones to enter the palace. You can go to the homes of my old ministers who are close to me and select some to send to the palace."

At this point, the queen lowered her brows.

He slowly said, "Yes, I understand."

After all this, the Empress Dowager simply meant to order that Concubine Li could take action, but Concubine Wan could not.

Her power in the palace is weak, and it is time to cultivate fresh blood.

Otherwise, if either Concubine Wan or Concubine Hua becomes dominant, it will not be good for her.

"Okay, I'm tired, you go down first."

"Yes, I will retire."

After coming out of Shoukang Palace, Yixiu thought for a long time.

Thinking about what the Queen Mother said, thinking about the Emperor, and thinking about how I got the position of Queen...
