The Queen came to see her that day. The Queen Mother heard that Concubine De was ill, so she wanted to go with the Queen to see her. The Queen and the Queen Mother said that if it was really a serious illness, it would be great, then no one would compete with me for the Emperor's favor.

The empress dowager interrupted her quickly and said, "You, you are the empress now and you are still so outspoken. If the people around the emperor hear this, you will be in trouble. Besides, I heard that the emperor used to be very good to this Defei, but now he doesn't go to her palace anymore."

The Queen said, yes, I don’t know what happened. When I was outside the palace, the Emperor was very cold to me and didn’t even consummate the marriage with me. It was not until I returned to the palace that the Emperor visited me every night. He never came to my palace before and always stayed with this Defei.

After all, the empress dowager had experienced so many palace fights. She felt that something was wrong. Why did the emperor do this? Why was he the same as the other two after returning to the palace and succeeding to the throne? Did he discover something, or did someone tell him something?

So the empress dowager ordered her subordinates to ask if there were any elderly people in the palace who knew about the past events. The eunuch said that the empress dowager was gone, as they had all been killed. I did remember one person, who seemed to be the emperor's wet nurse. But because the emperor was young at that time and still had a wet nurse by his side, and had been drinking this wet nurse's milk all the time, so there was no replacement and he saved his life.

The Queen Mother said, it has been left until now, let's solve it quickly. The subordinates said, the Queen Mother's idea doesn't seem to work, the wet nurse has been arranged outside the palace by the Emperor. Besides, if we suddenly take action at this time, won't the Emperor suspect us?

After hearing this, the empress dowager said, "What you said makes sense. Let's make sure you keep this person. It would be bad if he told the emperor something."

Of course the queen could understand what the queen mother said, and she also knew the reason. After all, her father was the queen mother's brother, and she still called the queen mother aunt.

The Queen said, "Aunt, I also feel that the Emperor is a little different. The Emperor now favors people from our Lin family, including the concubine I chose for him last time. The Emperor also favors her. Don't you think it's unusual?"

The Queen Mother said, let's observe first. Tell me in advance if there is any movement on your side so that I can know why the Emperor is like this. Secondly, why is your belly so unreliable? You still don't have any offspring. How can you gain a foothold in the harem? Although you are the queen now, you don't have any offspring. Who knows who will be the queen in the future. I can't help you all your life. It depends on your own efforts.

The Queen said, "Aunt, I have been very careful. I go to the Imperial Hospital every day and ask them if there is any way to get pregnant as soon as possible. But there is no movement and I have no solution."

The Queen Mother said, in your case, do you have any reliable people around you, such as palace maids or others, people you can trust?

The queen said that her aunt really had one, and she was an oiran.

The Queen Mother asked doubtfully, what Oiran????

The Queen said, Aunt, didn’t the Emperor favor me when I was outside the palace before? I was in a hurry at that time, so I found an oiran and wanted to learn some skills from her, so I brought her to my side and arranged for her to be my maid, so that she could give me advice and so on.

The Queen Mother said, then it’s her.
