"Queen Mother, what's the matter with me? Why are you looking at me like this?" Qiu Lingxuan's back felt cold when the Queen Mother looked at her.

"Come with me!!!" The Queen Mother trembled.

Everyone on the ground looked at Qiu Lingxuan worriedly. Although the Queen Mother was cruel and ruthless, she was still clear about rewards and punishments. Now that she called Huo Yuexi aside alone, is it necessary to torture her?Even Liu Enshu was a little worried: the queen mother will not understand the mystery of those eight characters, so she should ask Huo Yuexi to ask alone?

Under everyone's sympathetic eyes, Qiu Lingxuan followed the queen mother to a side hall, just about to kneel down when she heard the queen mother say, "Stand."

The queen mother looked around Qiu Lingxuan several times, and asked, "You have always been surnamed Huo? No other surname? Are there any relatives and elders alive in the family?"

Qiu Lingxuan finally knew who inherited the emperor and Liu Enshu's ancestral way of judging people, and pretended to be puzzled: "Why is the Queen Mother asking this?"

"answer me!"

"Yes." Qiu Lingxuan began to make up again: "The maidservant's surname is Ban. She is the descendant of Ban Jinghuan, a famous minister of the former court. Later, my ancestors were convicted for speaking out and exiled to the border. For decades, our people have suffered from the cold at the border. Died one after another. More than ten years ago, my father passed away, and my third uncle handed me over to an artist with the surname Huo, and asked me to change my surname to Huo."

"Third uncle?" The queen mother muttered something, he was also the third eldest, and asked, "What's your third uncle's name?"

"This..." Qiu Lingxuan showed embarrassment, "I was too young when I left home, so I can't remember." Seeing the empress dowager's face darken, she quickly added: "But I heard my father called him Uncle Hong, so I want to come up with a name. There is a macro word in it."

"It's him. In the generation of the Ban family, only his name has the word Hong in his name, and there are others. Let's continue."

"Say, say what?"

"Speaking of your third uncle, how has he been these past few years? Has he gotten married? Is the wife and concubine a happy family of three who would rather die than come back! If you dare to miss a word, I will kill you."

"Beautiful wife and beautiful concubine? My third uncle has never been married." Qiu Lingxuan feigned surprise.

"Unmarried all his life? How is it possible? He married that bitch right away, but later he didn't think it was enough, so he married that bitch's sister!"

"This... this servant doesn't know. When I was a child, I saw my third uncle was always alone, so I went to play with him, and he read poems to me. What kind of dream is it? Back then, the swallow in front of the court."

"It's Liu Qianyan!" The Empress Dowager murmured: "The mandarin ducks are gone, the dream of Jinghua is gone, the way is endless, drunk and lovesick, it is still Liu Qianyan back then."

"That's right, huh? Queen Mother, how do you know?" Qiu Lingxuan was going to pretend to be surprised, but seeing that the Queen Mother was already in tears, she said in surprise, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The queen mother turned around and sniffed, "It's nothing, what happened later? Is he dead or alive?"

"Later..." Qiu Lingxuan originally wanted to say that he had become a monk and traveled all over the world, so that the queen mother would look for her forever, but seeing her so sad, she changed her words and said, "He died. Before he died, my master took me to find him. An old man with Yan in his name, but what is the name of that old man, my master doesn't know..."

The Queen Mother nodded with her eyes closed, and sighed softly, "So he still remembers me..."

During the hundred days of the empress dowager's singing and dancing, Zhu Jisheng was demoted to the third rank, the emperor was fined to kneel at the Yongshou Palace for three days, and others were fined or grounded.

The queen mother thought that Qiu Lingxuan was a descendant of the Ban family and was entrusted by Ban Hong before his death, so she spared her life, but deprived her of the title of beauty and punished her to work in the Shangshi Bureau.

Everyone in the palace didn't know what Qiu Lingxuan said to the queen mother that day, and she escaped from death, and they didn't know what the queen mother meant. I went to the Shangshi Bureau to drink a cup of tea and said that the tea was good, who made it?

Huo Yuexi?

Alright, from now on, you can make tea for me by my side!

Qiu Lingxuan narrowly escaped death like this, and hid beside the emperor, she will not be able to die for a while.

System: [Congratulations to the host for changing the ending of death, the plot collapsed by 29%. 】

Qiu Lingxuan checked, and among the 20% added, the Queen Mother's character collapsed: 9%, and Huo Yuexi changed the death outcome: 11%.

"It turns out that the proportion of the empress dowager's character collapsed is so high, and I only accounted for 11%. , It's a pity that Hong's wife and concubine, the team, have long forgotten her."

System: [Human beings are greedy. They want power and love at the same time. They also fantasize that others will love her for the rest of their lives, never marry for her, and don't think about how they treated others in the first place. 】

Qiu Lingxuan: "I think what you said is right. All I want is love, can you give it to me? I promise to take Feifei and get out quickly!"

System: [You think beautifully! 】

Qiu Lingxuan spread her hands: "So, we still need to have power before we can consider love."

System: [The emperor has power, but does he have love? 】

Qiu Lingxuan nodded, yes.

The emperor is power, but the power is not all in the hands of the emperor, sometimes it is in the hands of the queen mother, sometimes it is in the hands of Pei Changfeng, it depends on who has the bigger fists, the queen mother or Pei Changfeng.

There are two major factions in the court of the Jin Dynasty. One is the queen party headed by the queen mother, including the queen mother, uncle, concubine Liu Gui, Minister of Rites Jiao Yuchen and others. They are either relatives of the emperor or related to the royal family; The monarch party headed by General Pei Changfeng, Taifu Wei Gao, Minister of Criminal Affairs Wu Pengyun, etc. Most of them were ministers left behind by the former emperor, who wholeheartedly assisted the emperor and opposed the empress dowager's interference in politics.

The emperor has been growing up under the protection of the queen mother for many years. He neither wants the queen mother to intervene in politics, nor can he come up with good policies for governing the country.

An incident happened recently. The son of Jiao Yuchen (Hou Dang), Minister of Rites, beat the son-in-law of Prime Minister Chen Changbai (Neutral). He was about to arrest people, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.

Pei Changfeng hoped that the emperor would come forward and investigate this matter strictly. The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, saying that the evidence was not sufficient. I'm afraid it's not good for you to ask me to go to the queen mother like this. Why don't you find more evidence, and I will think of a way.

Pei Changfeng had no choice but to ask Wei Yaru for help. Wei Yaru had some friendship with Pei Changfeng before he married Jin, and he had heard that Wu Pengyun was fair, strict, honest and selfless, so he agreed to help.

When Qiu Lingxuan saw Wei Yaru, she felt as if she had passed away. Not long ago, she told Wei Yaru that I just wanted to stay by your side for the rest of my life, but when I saw her again, she was by the emperor's side.

Wei Yaru was thoughtful and eloquent, and he analyzed the impact of attacking Jiao Yuchen on the Queen's Party and the benefits to the Emperor. The Queen's Party seemed to have a deep and unshakable foundation, but in fact it was the Queen Mother and Jiao Yuchen who really held the real power. However, the important officials of the court who are in charge of the army and prisons will definitely clear up the power of the Queen's party and let the emperor firmly grasp the power in the court.

The emperor was still hesitant after hearing this, but Qiu Lingxuan immediately stood up to help.

The emperor has always treated Huo Yuexi, the first lover 2.0, with great courtesy. Qiu Lingxuan has watched this drama more than ten times. Although all of them are about Xia Shifei, she has some understanding of other plots. Those who are beside the emperor Tian intentionally does what he likes, is gentle and considerate, asks for warmth, never takes the initiative to ask for anything, and occasionally can make the emperor happy, making the emperor feel like his first love is reborn, after listening to Qiu Lingxuan's analysis, he no longer hesitates.

"The emperor is wise." Qiu Lingxuan flattered, nodded and smiled at Wei Yaru, Wei Yaru also nodded and smiled at her, when Wei Yaru left, Qiu Lingxuan sneaked out to see her off.

"Empress, good-bye to Qianluan Palace, how are you doing?"

"Everything is fine, how about you?" Wei Yaru was still so gentle and beautiful.

"Everything is fine." It's just difficult to dance carefree for Wei Yaru like before.

Qiu Lingxuan looked at Wei Yaru, who saw that she was still in a daze, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Now you are with the emperor, you are not as casual as you are when you are with me, you must be careful in everything, don't know what you shouldn't know, Don't talk nonsense about what you shouldn't say, it's best to persuade the emperor to work hard, but don't let the emperor follow other plans, your words may change the court, you know?"

"Understood." Qiu Lingxuan had a half-knowledge, thought for a long time on the way back, and finally understood the meaning of Wei Yaru's words: No matter what Wei Yaru said just now, the emperor was hesitant, but she Huo Yuexi said a few words in support, the emperor agreed That's it... What Wei Yaru means is that the emperor obeyed her and asked her to be careful not to confuse people with false words?

"How is it possible!" Qiu Lingxuan shook her head, it was you who deceived people with deceitful words, how could I have that ability.

Back in the imperial study room, I thought the emperor had already fallen asleep, but unexpectedly the lights in the imperial study room were still on, the emperor leaned on the back of the chair, frowning.

"The perfect plan has been decided, why is the emperor still frowning?" Qiu Lingxuan asked.

"Yuexi, there are two tigers on the mountain who are killing each other in order to swallow a person for themselves. Now one tiger is about to die. Do you want the two tigers to fight each other or one tiger to dominate?"

"Of course I hope there are no tigers, but two tigers fighting each other is better than one tiger alone."

"But now another tiger is about to die, what are you going to do?"

Qiu Lingxuan thought for a while, and instantly understood the meaning of the emperor's words:

No matter how powerful the empress dowager is, she will always be the emperor's own mother and will not make anyone else emperor, but Pei Changfeng is different. Pei Changfeng is a veteran of the three dynasties, an important minister of the court, and holds military and political power. It was Wei Yaru's design to take Pei Changfeng to resolve this crisis.

It seems that the emperor is not stupid to realize this problem so early, but he underestimated him and said: "Since the emperor does not want one tiger to dominate, it is better to let both tigers lose."

"If I can hurt them both, I won't wait until now. Mr. Pei has a deep foundation and holds a lot of power. Except for the Queen Mother, who can move him?"

Qiu Lingxuan thought for a while, "Maybe there is no one, I know there is someone, maybe there is a way..."

The emperor's eyes lit up: "Who?"

"Zhu Jisheng, Master Zhu!"
