Ah, you traveled through time too?

Although Mei Fei had been sent to the cold palace, she did not give up the idea of ​​regaining power. In the dark corners of the cold palace, Mei Fei secretly plotted further plans to try to regain her position in the court. She knew that only through careful planning and clever layout could she rise again.

In the cold palace, Mei Fei secretly kept in touch with the outside world through some trusted palace maids. She gradually learned that although the Queen Mother and the Emperor were currently in control of the situation, there were still some ministers in the court who were dissatisfied with the status quo and were eager for change and more power and benefits.

One night, Mei Fei gathered a few loyal and trusted palace maids and whispered, "We can't just give up. You must use various channels to contact those ministers who are dissatisfied with the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and tell them that as long as we cooperate, we will be able to regain power."

The palace maids nodded in agreement and began to act secretly according to Concubine Mei's instructions.

At the same time, the Queen Mother and the Emperor did not relax their surveillance of Concubine Mei. They knew that Concubine Mei's ambition would not be easily extinguished, and they must always be vigilant.

One day, Lord Li came to the Queen Mother's bedroom with a new report.

"Empress Dowager, we recently discovered that Concubine Mei is still in contact with the outside world in the cold palace, and she seems to be planning a new conspiracy." Lord Li said in a low voice.

The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "Is this information reliable?"

Lord Li nodded, "Very reliable. Our informants have confirmed that Concubine Mei is indeed plotting in secret. She is trying to unite with those ministers who are dissatisfied with the reforms to regain power."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, thought for a moment and then said, "We can't let our guard down. Lord Li, you must continue to monitor Concubine Mei's every move, and at the same time strengthen the surveillance of those ministers to ensure that they will not pose a threat to our reforms."

Lord Li replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I understand. We will do our utmost to ensure that Concubine Mei's plot is nipped in the bud."

In the following days, Lord Li and his men strengthened their surveillance of Concubine Mei and those dissatisfied ministers. They used various means to closely monitor their every move and ensure that no disturbance could escape their eyes.

At the same time, Mei Fei was also secretly stepping up her planning. She knew that it would be difficult to succeed on her own, and she had to find more allies to fight against the authority of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

One night, Mei Fei secretly summoned several ministers who were dissatisfied with the status quo through her trusted palace maid. They held a secret meeting in a secluded corner of the cold palace.

"My lords, although the reforms of the Queen Mother and the Emperor have achieved some results, their power is becoming increasingly concentrated, and the interests of many ministers have been harmed. We cannot sit idly by." Concubine Mei said in a low voice.

One of the ministers spoke first: "Madam Mei is right. We have become fed up with the status quo. As long as we work together, we will be able to overthrow their rule and redistribute power."

Another minister agreed: "Yes, we need a strong leader to lead us, and Concubine Mei is the best candidate."

Mei Fei smiled slightly and said, "My Lords, I am pleased with your support. We must plan carefully and find the best time to overthrow their rule in one fell swoop."

Through this secret meeting, Concubine Mei reached a consensus with several ministers who were dissatisfied with the status quo. They decided to unite and plan a new conspiracy to redistribute power.

At the same time, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were also paying close attention to the changes in the situation. One day, the Emperor summoned Lord Li and several trusted ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Lord Li, what do you think of the recent situation?" asked the emperor.

Lord Li replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Mei's conspiracy in the cold palace has gradually been exposed. We must take decisive measures to completely disintegrate her power."

The emperor nodded: "You are right. We need a thorough plan to ensure that Concubine Mei and her followers are captured in one fell swoop."

Lord Li continued, "Your Majesty, we can use some false information to lure Concubine Mei and her followers out, and then take them down at the right time."

The emperor agreed: "Very good. Lord Li, you are responsible for formulating this plan. You must ensure that it is foolproof."

A few days later, Lord Li made a detailed plan and reported it to the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, this is the plan we have made. We will use some false news to lure Concubine Mei and her followers to show up, and then take them down in one fell swoop at the right time." Lord Li said.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor read the plan carefully and expressed their approval.

The Queen Mother said, "Lord Li, you must ensure that every step of the plan is implemented smoothly and not give the other side any chance to counterattack."

Lord Li replied respectfully: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I will do my best to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan."

In the following days, Lord Li and his men implemented the plan step by step. They used some false news to lure Concubine Mei and her followers to show up.

One night, Mei Fei got an important message from her trusted maid. It was said that the Queen Mother and the Emperor would hold an important meeting in a secret location, which might involve some key reform measures.

Mei Fei thought this was a perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack and overthrow the empress dowager and the emperor, and she immediately summoned several ministers who were dissatisfied with the status quo to discuss a plan of action.

"My Lords, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we act quickly, we will be able to overthrow the rule of the Queen Mother and the Emperor and redistribute power." Concubine Mei said in a low voice.

The ministers expressed their agreement and decided to take immediate action.

However, they did not know that all this was a trap carefully designed by Lord Li. When Mei Fei and her followers arrived at the secret location, they were greeted not by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but by a team of guards who had been lying in ambush.

Lord Li said coldly: "Mei Fei, your conspiracy has been exposed, just surrender."

Mei Fei's face changed drastically, knowing that the situation was hopeless, but she still said unwillingly: "Lord Li, do you really think that this can kill my ambition?"

Lord Li sneered, "Mei Fei, your ambition is in vain. Come, take Mei Fei and her followers to the prison and wait for trial."

With the arrest of Concubine Mei and her cronies, the new conspiracy was completely disintegrated, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor once again successfully resolved a crisis.

Although the Queen Mother and the Emperor have temporarily stabilized the situation, they know that the struggle for power will never end. Only by staying vigilant and constantly adjusting strategies can they remain invincible in this complex struggle for power.
