"Your Majesty, please stop blaming yourself! Even if you are talented and capable, how can you control people's hearts? You are already worried enough!" Shen Zhiyao said hurriedly.

The concubines were all angry when they saw that Shen Zhiyao had taken the lead again.

But everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, Jin Wanyi is still very powerful, she has been asked to say all the good and bad things, and she is still ungrateful after getting the advantage!

"Queen, please get up. This really isn't your fault." Bo Muxi personally helped the queen up.

"Those of you who are kneeling, please stand up." Bo Muxi said to the concubines who were kneeling on the ground.

"Lin En, you need to follow up on this matter in real time and investigate it strictly! I want to see who dares to do such dirty things in the palace!"

After Bo Muxi finished speaking, he gave Lady Qi a cold look, and the latter couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Everyone thanked the emperor for his grace and stood up.

The queen said slowly: "Some concubines in the palace are too indulgent to their subordinates. Some servants rely on their masters' power and often persecute those of lower positions and defile the palace. In the future, concubines should be more careful when promoting their positions!"

Shen Zhiyao laughed secretly in her heart, the Queen would definitely not let go of the knife she handed over.

This is a preparation to "reshuffle" the harem.

Concubine Zhao obviously understood, and said with a charming smile: "Some servants really bring their own death upon themselves, and they can't blame others."

Concubine Zhao tried hard to make amends for herself. Her personal eunuch Zhizhou is still being held in the Ministry of Punishment.

Bo Muxi secretly glanced at Concubine Zhao and cursed her in his heart, "What a fool."

"From now on, all matters in the harem will be controlled by the Queen. I trust her." Bo Muxi said calmly.

The emperor took advantage of the situation and granted power to the queen in public, and no one dared to say anything more.

"Jin Wanyi smashed Shu Ningxuan. Although there were reasons for it, it was against palace rules after all, so she should still be punished." Bo Muxi looked at Shen Zhiyao and pretended to be angry.

"Yes, I accept the punishment." Shen Zhiyao lowered her head and leaned forward, looking aggrieved.

Seeing her like this, Bo Muxi laughed secretly.

The cleverness of Shen Zhiyao lies in the fact that she will never completely obey the emperor, and will never put herself in a difficult position when she should express her dissatisfaction or disappointment.

But when she should bow her head, she would never go against Bo Muxi and was very proactive in admitting her mistakes.

A woman can have her own personality, but she must learn to seize opportunities and assess situations.

The emperor was very fond of her "spring" tactics of achieving great results with little effort, and he even got used to it.

"Your Majesty, Jin Wanyi did go too far, but she is young and hot-tempered after all. Put yourself in her shoes. If this happened to me, I might not be able to tolerate it any more than she does. Your Majesty doesn't need to be too harsh on her." The Queen advised softly.

"Queen, just spoil her!" Bo Muxi complained pretentiously.

The queen smiled but didn't explain much.

In fact, everyone knows who wants to exonerate Shen Zhiyao more, it's just a show.

"Your Majesty, I will never dare to do it again. Please don't blame the Queen..." Shen Zhiyao said with a blushing face.

"You two are good friends!" Bo Muxi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Since you have no harm in your heart, I will not punish you too much. The Queen has been copying Buddhist scriptures these days to pray for the Queen Mother. You can go and help her. The Queen can also teach you how to calm your mind."

Bo Muxi seemed to be intending to hand Shen Zhiyao over to the Queen for training.

The Queen has been "very interested" in Shen Zhiyao recently, so she is naturally happy with this result.

Among them, the most unhappy ones were the queen's personal maids.

She secretly rolled her eyes at Shen Zhiyao in her heart, blaming her for causing trouble for her queen again!

Everyone saw this and became even more jealous. Since he had more opportunities to be around the queen, it was hard to tell at this time whether it was a punishment or a reward.

Shen Zhiyao knelt down and said, "I thank the Emperor and the Empress for their grace."

"Jin Wanyi, get up." After saying this, Bo Muxi looked at the queen again.

"What should the Queen do with Concubine Qi? Does the Queen have any ideas?" Bo Muxi patted the Queen's hand and asked.

"Concubine Qi lacks discipline over her servants, causing them to behave improperly and disrupt the palace. This is disqualified behavior. I suggest that she be demoted to Baolin and not be promoted for two years as a punishment. Your Majesty, please consider this."

The queen had always been kind to her concubines, and it was indeed rare to see her deal with the concubines involved so harshly.

After this incident, everyone's awe of the queen instantly increased to a higher level.

The queen is the queen after all. Even if she has no children, her methods are truly brilliant and worthy of respect.

Some people who previously wanted to team up with Concubine Zhao to overthrow the Queen no longer dared to act rashly recently.

"Well, I agree. Concubine Qi will be demoted to Qi Baolin. I hope all my beloved concubines will take this as a warning and not cause trouble again." Bo Muxi said in a clear voice.

When Concubine Qi heard this, she was so angry that before she could even accept the punishment, her eyes went dark and she fainted on the spot.

Imperial Physician Zhang had just left, and the Emperor was too lazy to bother with any more trouble, so he signaled Lin'en to settle the person in the warm room and then call another imperial physician to examine him.

Everyone could see that the Emperor was very disgusted with Concubine Qi, while Shen Zhiyao, who smashed Shu Ningxuan, was not in any trouble.

"Now that the matter has been resolved, I should go back to handle government affairs earlier. The rest of the matters will be left to the Queen. I trust her." Bo Muxi said with a smile.

"Yes, I will handle it properly, Your Majesty, please rest assured." The Queen smiled particularly gently.

Before leaving, Bo Muxi smiled at Shen Zhiyao on purpose.

Shen Zhiyao was still teasing and pretending to be shy.

Everyone was so angry that they wanted to bite her to death on the spot.

The happiest person was Concubine Lu who was watching.

She didn't care how much Shen Zhiyao benefited, as long as Concubine Zhao's faction was frustrated, her goal would be achieved.

After the emperor left, the queen said in a dignified voice: "I will say this one last time. No matter how you fight, I can forgive you, but you are absolutely forbidden to use dirty tricks to harm me! Otherwise, I will never let you off easily! You all better take care of yourselves, and you'd better not try to break the law!"

After saying this, the queen turned away.

"Jin Wanyi is so cruel. I have to get to know you all over again!" Concubine Zhao stared at Shen Zhiyao viciously and sneered.

"Empress Zhao, you are too polite. I am just impulsive." Shen Zhiyao pretended to be stupid.

"You are so impulsive! I really underestimated you before. From now on... I won't do that again!" After saying that, she held Dai Tao's hand, got on the sedan chair and left.

"Humph, Jin Wanyi is really blessed with a good life. Even a salted fish that seeks death can turn things around. I hope you can be so lucky every time!"

Li Xiaoyi said this in a sarcastic tone and walked away with a disdainful look on her face.

"Sister, don't worry about these vulgar people. If they can really be angry to death, the harem will be peaceful." Concubine Lu walked forward, took Shen Zhiyao's hand and laughed softly.

"Sister, you are absolutely right." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

The two men smiled at each other, which meant that only by having the same goal could they maintain their alliance.

However, what Concubine Zhao said just now was an open declaration of war on Shen Zhiyao, and Shen Zhiyao didn't want to be on the defensive anymore.

Rather than being killed by others, it is better to dig a hole and kill others in advance!

Shen Zhiyao decided that from today on, she would take the initiative to attack and annihilate the enemy...
