After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

I continued, "You are my sister. As long as you don't commit suicide, I will definitely take care of you in everything. As long as I have it, you will not lose it. But if you dare to commit suicide, go and find out what happened to Concubine Li. Her fate will be your fate."

Zhao Fangping had just returned to the palace and didn't know who Concubine Li was, let alone what had happened to her, but she still replied obediently, "Yes, Madam, I'll remember it."

Seeing that this round of beating had worked, I nodded with satisfaction and said, "You will be a virgin in a year. You are the empress appointed by the late emperor. After you ascend the throne, you should be in charge of the harem. So in order to allow you to better manage the harem in the future, from today on, the harem will be in your hands. But the Phoenix Seal will still be in the hands of Concubine Yun. After all, you are not the empress yet, so the Phoenix Seal cannot be handed over to you. Although you have no name and no status now, with me and His Majesty backing you up, no one will dare to embarrass you. If some people are really disobedient, you can just deal with them."

When I spoke the latter part, my tone was light and light, which gave Zhao Fang endless imagination.

Zhao Fangping was surprised and delighted when she heard this. She didn't expect that she would be able to touch the supreme throne of the empress so soon. She glanced at Zheng Yan quietly, but Zheng Yan put food into my bowl while eating his food slowly, without even a glance at her.

She swallowed her saliva and thought, even if His Majesty doesn't love me, so what? I will be the queen in the future, and I will be His Majesty's lucky person. His Majesty will never dare to touch me. From now on, my position in the palace is also a deputy general manager, in charge of the harem. The dozens or even hundreds of women in the harem have to listen to me. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Zhao Fangping's joy was about to overflow, but she still suppressed her joy, bowed obediently in my direction, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, for your grace. I will do my best to manage the harem in the future."

Zhao Fangping was indeed very sensible. I became more and more satisfied and continued, "Very good. Your Majesty, my father and I all think highly of you and believe that you are definitely a candidate who can take on this important task. However, I still have some requests to tell you."

After saying that, I couldn't help but cough a few more times. I hurriedly covered my mouth with a towel, and a large amount of blood almost soaked the towel red.

I quietly handed the towel to Yang who was standing next to me. Yang took it silently, being careful not to let Zheng Yan notice.

Zhao Fangping knew that I must have a trick up my sleeve waiting for her. She looked at me warily but didn't dare to question me. Her aggrieved look made me laugh.

I smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. What I asked of you is not difficult and you can definitely do it."

Zhao Fangping had no choice but to say, "Please let your Majesty tell you."

I said, "My first request is that the Empress Dowager and His Highness the Ninth Prince are the people you must protect throughout your life. You must never let them be bullied. Can you do this first thing?"

While I am here, who would dare to bully the Empress Dowager and the Ninth Prince? Wouldn't that be courting death?

Zhao Fangping thought she was a smart person and would definitely not offend me, so she quickly said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as I am here, I will not let the Queen Mother and His Highness the Ninth Prince be bullied."

I nodded and said, "Very good. As for the second request, it's even simpler. As the daughter of a country, you should be the mother of the country and a role model for all women in the world. Therefore, you must not harm innocent people. Can you do this?"

The second rule is not easy at all. Not only must she be the mother of the country, but she must not make any mistakes or kill innocent people. But in this deep palace, who is pure and innocent?

But after Zhao Fangping went to Mingyue Temple, she was frightened and quickly responded, "Yes, Madam, I am definitely not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. Please rest assured, Madam and His Majesty."

This promise is like a child who is caught stealing candy and immediately promises not to eat it again in the future. But who can resist the sweetness of candy?

When a person tastes the sweetness of power, he will step into the abyss step by step. Zhao Fangping's promise is a joke, I can only listen to it for now, anyway, there are plenty of ways to deal with her in the future.

Being too close to Zhao Fangping, I felt more and more uncomfortable, so I had no choice but to say, "Just these two points. I'll tell you when I think of them. You go back first."

Zhao Fangping quickly bowed and took his leave.

After Zhao Fangping left, Zheng Yan frowned and said, "I really didn't expect that the two of you being together would cause you so much harm. You knew that you two couldn't be together, so why did you bring her back? Even if you wanted to make her the queen, you didn't have to rush to bring her back."

I shook my head, took a breath and said, "I can't wait any longer. Without someone in charge, the harem will soon be in chaos. Zhao Fangping is ambitious and vicious enough. It's time to let her come back to manage the harem."

Zheng Yan didn't expect me to speak so directly, and said puzzledly: "Logically speaking, wouldn't it be a bad idea to make a vicious person the queen?"

I smiled and said, "Why did the late emperor choose Zhao Fangping as his empress? Can't Your Majesty guess it?"

Zheng Yan was indeed a little puzzled, so he asked: "Why?"

I sighed and said, "You have a gentle temperament, but Zhao Fangping is decisive and ruthless, which complements your personality. Some things that you are not convenient to do can be handed over to her. She is your lucky person, and her luck can make things get solved faster and better. The late emperor was far-sighted, as long as you make good use of this chess piece, no one can shake your throne."

Why did I think of this? That's because Zheng Xian used me in the same way.

Zheng Yan seemed to have heard it. He lowered his head in deep thought. After a long time, he looked up at me and said, "I understand. But the person I have always wanted to make queen is you. Wait for me..."

Before Zheng Yan finished speaking, I interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, please stop talking. I am already the late emperor's concubine. Although we haven't consummated our marriage yet, if you dare to make the late emperor's concubine your empress, I guarantee that those old officials will not let you go. You will then become a laughing stock of the world, and your throne will be in danger."

Zheng Yan's eyes flashed with a trace of pain, but soon returned to normal. He stood up and said sullenly, "I am indeed not as considerate as Ah Man. I have something else to do, so I will go back to the palace first. Ah Man, eat slowly."

After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for everyone to kneel down and greet him.

Yingchun brought me a bowl of soup that she had specially cooked for me and whispered, "Your Highness, you haven't eaten anything this evening. Drink a bowl of hot soup first. I'll take the dishes away and heat them up before serving them to you."

I took the soup and said, "No, take all of this away. I'll just have a bowl of soup."

After that, I said to Yang, "Go to the storehouse and find some high-quality cloth, some jewelry, and some nourishing herbs to send to my fourth sister."
