Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

When Li was a child, she had seen servants who dared to attack their masters in order to win their favor, and she was traumatized. She was not favored in the harem, and there were no servants who bullied their masters, but there were many who pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed.

If she hadn't been lucky enough to give birth to a son, and the previous emperor had few sons, so that she could sit on the position of imperial concubine because of her son's status, she would probably be treated differently by the palace servants. Liu was the emperor's sweetheart, and even if she really wanted to harm someone, how many palace servants would dare to offend the emperor behind her.

Li's eyes rolled. The power of the harem was in Ye Zhiqiu's hands. She could just push the matter aside and pretend she knew nothing about it, and see how Renshou Palace would handle it.

The eunuch was originally the spy of Renshou Palace. When he heard Li asked him to report to Renshou Palace, he hesitated a little and was stared at by Li. "Why, you don't want to?"

"I dare not. I am just worried that if Concubine Liu's conspiracy is not exposed sooner, Miss Li will get hurt if she uses rouge by mistake." The eunuch kept Ye Zhiqiu's instructions in mind, and it would be best not to let Miss Li get hurt.

Ye Zhiqiu just wanted the emperor to see Liu's true face, but she didn't want to hurt innocent people. She didn't like Li, but before Li Liuqian took the initiative to harm others, she would not take the initiative to target him.

Li asked her to take care of it, so don't blame her for making a big fuss. With both human and material evidence, she could just invite all the forces to the palace and let them discuss what to do. She wouldn't clean up the mess for the emperor, and she wasn't the one who was as anxious as the queen.

When the emperor received the news from Ye Zhiqiu, he realized that someone seemed to have tipped him off before, but he didn't believe it at the time and just threw the matter aside, so what should he do now.

On the one hand, he hated Liu for being so stupid, and on the other hand, he was worried that the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor would not miss the opportunity to force him to submit.

Things turned out just as the emperor had guessed. Everyone who received the news from Ye Zhiqiu actively entered the palace. The prime minister and the imperial tutor wanted to push their granddaughter to be the queen, and the others just wanted to watch the show. As for Li, of course, she wanted her niece to be the queen.

My mother's family was too poor. My great-grandfather was just a butcher. He managed to train my grandfather into a scholar. It was not until my father's generation that he passed the imperial examination and finally managed to get a position as a ninth-rank official.

She entered the palace to gamble for a better future, and she won the bet, but the men in her family are useless, and there is still no Jinshi. If her niece becomes the queen, it will give the family at least another 30 years to develop. It will take 30 years to train a Jinshi, even if it costs money and manpower. If it still can't, it can only be blamed on the bad feng shui of the Li family, and they are not destined to be a noble family.

Li pulled the emperor to speak in private, but Ye Zhiqiu would not give her the chance: "Sister Li, if you have something to say to the emperor in private, can't you tell me?" After saying that, she stared at the mother and son with a smile, ignoring Liu and others who were squatting to pay their respects.

She could ignore it, but Li felt sorry for her niece squatting all the time: "No, I just want to see if the emperor has lost weight. Hurry up and let them get up, you see Sister Liu is about to fall down."

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Concubine Liu, and seeing that she was indeed on the verge of collapse, he waved his hand and asked everyone to get up.

Concubine Liu kept cursing Ye Zhiqiu in her heart, but she still had to put on a smile and ask: "Empress Dowager, what is the matter that you invited all these people here?" Everyone knew in advance why they came, except Liu's niece and aunt.

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Shannai and asked, "Are all of you here?"

"Done."

"You tell Concubine Liu what happened." Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to waste his breath, so he gave the task of explaining to Shannai, who happened to be observing the reactions of everyone present.

Shannai recounted the incident in the simplest terms, and did not forget to present physical and personal evidence. In addition to several boxes of rouge that had been drugged, there were also records of servants from Concubine Liu's family going in and out of the pharmacy to buy medicine. She was afraid of being discovered, so she did not dare to get medicine from the Imperial Hospital, but she did not expect that there would be records of buying medicine from the pharmacy.

It was all the Liu family's fault for being too clever and not wanting to be discovered by more people. They didn't dare to go to a big pharmacy to buy medicine, and deliberately chose a small pharmacy with poor business. As a result, because of the poor business, the waiter who dispensed the medicine remembered everything clearly, and the shopkeeper recorded it clearly in the account book.

Miss Liu was young after all, and her face turned pale with fear before she even finished listening to the witness' words. She quietly looked at the emperor for help. She was not stupid, and she knew it was useless to look for Concubine Liu at this time.

They are tied to the same rope. If the aunt can find a way to escape, she will definitely save her. If that doesn't work, she will make the emperor have mercy on her.

The emperor stared at the witnesses and ignored the look Miss Liu gave him. He couldn't help but feel lucky that the plan didn't work out. If his cousin was really disfigured, he would definitely feel guilty. He wanted to ask the person involved for his opinion: "Cousin, what do you think we should do?"

Li Liuniang bowed her head and said nothing. Above her were the two Empress Dowagers and the Emperor, below were the regents, and in the middle was the Prince of Jin. How could it be her turn as a little girl to speak? The point of this matter was not what she said, but what kind of result the Renshou Palace wanted.

She didn't say anything, so the emperor had to look for her mother: "Mom, my cousin is not injured either. What do you think about this matter..."

Li waved her hand and said, "Shut up! Your cousin is lucky that she wasn't hurt. I don't care. Liu must be punished. I knew she wasn't a good person. No wonder everyone dislikes her."

Concubine Liu knew that her status was not as high as Li's, but she would not allow anyone to talk about her niece in front of her. If she did not speak out, anyone in the palace could step on her in the future. She simply ignored the hard evidence and showed the most innocent smile: "This can't prove anything. Although she is a servant of my mother's family, who knows if she has been bribed? Can the words of a betrayer be trusted?"

"Well said, what does the King of Jin think?" Ye Zhiqiu was clearly looking for fun and not afraid of trouble. According to her rules, Miss Liu and Miss Li should be asked to leave the palace, but considering the emperor's mood, forget it. The more chaotic the harem is, the better. On one side is the sweetheart, and on the other side is the cousin who has been close friends for a long time. The bigger the trouble, the better.

After Prince Jin got the title for his granddaughter, he seemed like a different person. He pretended to have just woken up, and asked the emperor what he thought in a lazy tone, as if the emperor had the final say.

The emperor already had the answer in his mind, but he still hesitated when the words came to his lips: "I think this may be a misunderstanding. Fortunately, no one was injured. Let it go this time. If there is a next time, no matter who it is, I will never let it go easily."

The emperor's words of finality were of course directed at the mastermind behind the scenes. Several servants who did not perform their duties properly must be punished. If they had not turned against him, how could they have been caught by the Renshou Palace and made a fool of themselves?

The Prince of Jin had no objection, but the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor disagreed. The two old foxes had not expressed their opinions and were waiting for the other party to speak first. Only when they saw that they had no choice but to speak out did they stand up.

"I don't agree." The two of them said it almost at the same time, and after they reacted, they looked at each other with contempt.
