Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

Seeing Yin Yichen like this, Song Wanning was anxious, but she couldn't help him. She just whispered, "You are now in a central position, an important figure in the court, and in charge of many military and political affairs. If the ministers are to be harmed in the future, you will definitely be implicated. I think we have to take the initiative and find the relationship between the imperial concubine and Tang Heng outside the palace and the imperial concubine. Only in this way can we resolve the current situation."

Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and said softly, "Madam, what you said is exactly what I thought in my heart. That's what I thought. Sitting and waiting for death is not my style. The only thing I should do now is to take the initiative. I heard that the virtuous concubine in the palace could no longer hold back and sent someone to Yunxi Mountain to ask the Empress Dowager about the original matter of the concubine who left the palace in the previous dynasty."

When Song Wanning heard what Yin Yichen said, she understood that it was not easy for Yin Yichen to remain calm in the face of such a situation in the capital. He was able to keep a clear mind and remain calm. Song Wanning knew that the court was now in danger and she didn't know what would happen in the future. She could only wait to find out from the Queen Mother what happened to the concubine in the previous dynasty, so that she could feel at ease about what to do in the future.

Yunxi Mountain.

Princess Xiangyu understood Concubine Yu's tactics and was worried about Concubine Xian, so she went to Yunxi Mountain to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother. Princess Xiangyu went straight to the temple where the Queen Mother practiced and brought people to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother originally practiced in this temple and rarely saw people. She would only come out when the time came. Who knew that Princess Xiangyu would come to visit her, which surprised the Queen Mother a little.

Seeing this, the nanny beside the Queen Mother hurriedly said to her, "Queen Mother, Princess Xiangyu came in a hurry and said she had something important to ask. I asked her what it was, but she didn't say anything. She just said she had to see the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly and said slowly, "If that's the case, then please invite the person in."

Princess Xiangyu arrived at the Queen Mother's temple soon, kneeling on the ground to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, please forgive me for my rude words and actions, and for disturbing your prayers. It's just that the important matters in the court now force me to come here. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me this time, and I'm just waiting for me to finish what I want to say."

Seeing this, the Queen Mother opened her eyes, looked at Xiangyu and said slowly, "You have come here by yourself now, so you must have something important to say. If so, just say it and don't delay anything."

Seeing this, Princess Xiangyu lowered her head and told about what she had seen and heard in the palace these days. She immediately expressed her doubts to the Queen Mother, "During the time when the Queen Mother was away, my father's temperament changed drastically, and Xiangyu felt that he was a little unfamiliar. He now only favors Concubine Yu and her relatives, and has seized the power of my brother and the Crown Prince, and handed these important positions to those recommended by Concubine Yu. Now my mother has been repeatedly punished in the palace, and I don't know why. Fortunately, my mother heard that there was a concubine in the previous dynasty who was as good at playing the zither as Concubine Yu now, so she asked me to come and ask the Queen Mother about the whole story."

The Queen Mother's face instantly turned cold after hearing this, and she said in surprise, "Has his temperament changed drastically? Didn't he favor the Prime Minister Yin Yichen the most in the past? Because Yin Yichen's father was his former subordinate, and he was also a meritorious official who followed him from the Qiandi Palace, so he trusted this Prime Minister. Now his temper has changed?"

"That's right. Now my father doesn't even like to listen to Yin Yichen's words." Princess Xiangyu was worried and said slowly to the Queen Mother, "Does the Queen Mother know how the previous incident ended? If you can tell the whole story, then this matter may still have room for maneuver. Then let mother think of a solution, and this matter can come to an end. Otherwise, who knows what will happen."

Seeing this, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "I knew she would come back."

The Queen Mother had always supported An Wang Xie Ke in the court and was close to Consort Xian. Seeing the current situation, she was not reluctant to speak out about this matter. However, she looked at Xiang Yu and said slowly, "The fewer people know about this, the better. If it gets out later, the royal family will lose face."

The Queen Mother spoke, telling the story of a strange incident in the previous dynasty. "When I was still the concubine of the late emperor, I was not as favored as Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan played music for Your Majesty, the late emperor, every day, and the late emperor couldn't stop. He favored her alone in the entire harem. Later, he killed many loyal ministers for her and assisted Concubine Lan's family to ascend to the throne and become the backbone of the imperial officials. But the late emperor's temperament changed drastically, which scared us concubines. How could we trust Concubine Lan again? But everyone knew that she had evil intentions, but there was nothing we could do, so we had to think of a way in the harem."

"Later, a concubine in the palace married from the Western Regions. She knew that there was a kind of piano music in the Western Regions that could make the listener feel as if they were in a fairyland. If you listen to such music for a long time, it will make people lose their minds and turn the emperor into a puppet who only listens to the words of the pianist. Later, they sent many envoys to the Western Regions to find a master who could solve this problem. The master used orchids as medicine, which made the late emperor sober up. Later, the late emperor knew the whole story and killed Concubine Lan's family and many co-conspirators. But the late emperor was unwilling to kill Concubine Lan. Instead, he secretly sent her out of the palace to practice. Even her family members and accomplices were solved one by one without anyone knowing. I thought this was not right at the beginning, and it seems to be true today. Concubine Lan has taught a group of new women who can play the piano to enter the palace to confuse my son, and she wants to repeat the old trick."

Princess Xiangyu immediately understood what was going on after hearing this. She looked at the Queen Mother and sighed, "Queen Mother, this plan is really vicious. In this case, Xiangyu will immediately return to the palace to report to Mother and send someone to the Western Regions to find the master who can detoxify. Otherwise, who knows what will happen next."

The Queen Mother only sighed after hearing this, "The master was already over ninety years old. I'm afraid that he is no longer alive and well. Return to the palace immediately and have someone take my clearance documents to search all over the dynasty. We must find the master to save the royal family from danger. If we can't find him, I'm afraid the royal family will have a hard time now."
