Recently, the emperor's relationship with both her and Xia Wanning has been very delicate. Although the women in the harem like to take advantage of every opportunity and rush to get close to the emperor when they find an opportunity, at this time, there are many people involved, not just the emperor.

Therefore, if you want to be favored by the emperor and offend so many masters in the harem who others dare not offend at once, you will most likely be implicated and affected.

The women in the harem are not fools. On the one hand, they want to be favored by the emperor, and on the other hand, they want to rely on the emperor for a life of wealth and glory.

But the same...

If they cannot save their own lives in order to obtain these things, then what is the point of having these so-called useless things?

So just keep it and go to hell?

Wu Qingying went to the Yangxin Palace to find the emperor at this time. It was unclear whether she was really crazy about gaining the emperor's favor or was completely brainless.

But on the other hand, with Wu Zhaoyi's status, her family has made outstanding military achievements and been loyal to Damu over the years.

If it were any other woman in the harem, going to find the emperor in this world would undoubtedly be suicide. But when Wu Qingying went to find the emperor at this time, the situation was obviously different.

Obviously, Jiang Rong was silent for a while. At this time, she didn't know what was going on in her mind.

After thinking about it for a while, her eyes fell on Yu Huan again, but this time she didn't ask the same question as before, but asked Wu Qingying.

She knew that Yu Huan, who was so smart, suddenly mentioned Wu Qingying at this time. It must be that Yu Huan already had the answer or the way to deal with it in his mind, right?

"Empress, you said that Wu Zhaoyi went to the Yangxin Palace to look for the emperor. How confident is she that she can gain the emperor's favor?"

Hearing this, Yu Huan smiled and said, "Queen Dowager, you shouldn't ask me this question, but the Emperor."

"I know exactly what kind of person my son is. Instead of asking him, I'd rather ask you, or at least ask you, Queen. I know you are smart. Since you can say something like that, it will definitely develop as you said."

Jiang Rong's words gave Yu Huan a great compliment.

You know, over the years, whether when she was young or now, I have never seen the Queen Mother speak so highly of any woman.

Especially after she became the empress dowager, she became even more arrogant. It was difficult for an ordinary woman, even one from a wealthy family, to receive such a high evaluation from her.

Now that she gave such a high evaluation to Yu Huan so easily, it can be seen how important Yu Huan is in her heart.

Hearing how much the Queen Mother believed in him, Yu Huan couldn't help but smile, "Noble Concubine Xia went to the Yangxin Palace to find the Emperor, and she and the Emperor had a big fight in the Yangxin Palace. The Queen Mother should have heard about this, right?"

"Well, I have heard about this."

The incident with Wu Qingying had just happened, so it was normal that Jiang Rong had not heard the news at this time.

But it was different for Xia Wanning. The news that Xia Wanning went to the Yangxin Palace to find the emperor, had a big quarrel with the emperor in the palace, and left the palace with an angry and cold face was widely spread throughout the palace. It was hard for her not to hear about it.

"What does the Queen Mother think about Concubine Xia's matter?"

Instead of rushing to answer Jiang Rong's question, Yu Huan asked a question in return, directing the question back to her.

When Jiang Rong heard Yu Huan ask her this, she confessed honestly, "I won't hide this from the Queen. Logically speaking, when the Emperor saw the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor quarreling and arguing in the Yangxin Palace, he did not coax the Imperial Concubine to save her way as he did in the past. For me, this is something worth being happy about."

"Because it proves that my goal has been achieved, the emperor has begun to slowly hate Concubine Xia, but——"

Jiang Rong had more to say. After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Yu Huan. After staring at Yu Huan for a while, she said, "But this is not a good sign for me."

What she wanted was that Xia Wanning fell out of favor, but not that the emperor would double his favor for Xia Wanning and use it on another woman, or even that woman would be more disgusting than Xia Wanning and have even more ill intentions towards the emperor.

At the very least, although she didn't like Xia Wanning, she could still see that Xia Wanning had feelings for the emperor.

Although Xia Wanning was willful and unruly, she didn't take the emperor seriously.

But Xia Wanning's feelings for the emperor were genuine. Moreover, Xia Wanning was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. As the only eldest daughter of the general's mansion, she was the center of attention wherever she went.

Therefore, it is normal for some people to have a spoiled temper and look down on others, even if that person is the emperor.

If the emperor had adjusted his attitude in front of her from the beginning, the royal dignity was inviolable. If the emperor had treated Xia Wanning like this from the beginning, Xia Wanning obviously would not have dared to disrespect the emperor like this.

It was the emperor who insisted on doting on Xia Wanning and making her obey his orders. It was also the emperor who insisted on letting Xia Wanning ride on her head and be an accomplice to the evil. In fact, after experiencing the affairs of Qingluan and Qingnu, Jiang Rong was not the kind of person who would not hesitate to do anything to achieve her goal.

She also knew that the reason why Xia Wanning could be so arrogant in the harem was due to the emperor himself. She couldn't unconditionally stand by him just because he was her son.

"Qingluan Qingnu is not sincere to the emperor."

After a long silence, Jiang Rong finally sighed and spoke helplessly.

Her eyes fell on Yu Huan, staring at her for a while, and finally said something that made her feel particularly powerless and unwilling to say it: "The Queen is smart, I'm afraid I don't need to say much. Obviously, the Queen can see that although Concubine Xia has done some things too much and doesn't take the Emperor and me, the Queen Mother, seriously, I can see that Concubine Xia has feelings for the Emperor, and they are very deep feelings."

A woman will only behave so willfully in front of a man when she likes him, when she truly likes him.

Secondly, Xia Wanning’s willfulness, to put it bluntly, is that even if she is willful, she has the capital to be willful, doesn’t she?

After entering the palace, in the first few days, Xia Wanning was not as unreasonable as she is now. It was obvious that she also had some concerns and was afraid.

After all, entering the palace is not like being in the general's mansion.

Later -

It was the emperor's unbridled favor and tolerance for her that made Xia Wanning completely lose her sense of propriety, wasn't it?

"If I had known that the two sisters Qingluan and Qingnu were such people, I would really regret my decision now."

In fact, Yu Huan had already noticed what kind of people Qingluan and Qingnu were when she saw them for the first time. That was why, when the empress dowager asked them to meet her, she only took a glance at them and told the empress dowager that they could not be allowed to sleep with her so soon and asked the empress dowager to reconsider.

The Queen Mother was the winner of the last palace fight. In fact, as long as the Queen Mother was willing, as long as she set her eyes on them and stared at them seriously for a while, it was obvious that the Queen Mother herself could perceive something or other about the other party's purpose and ideas.

But the Queen Mother's mind was all on Xia Wanning. She really wanted to bring Xia Wanning down, otherwise she wouldn't have let Qingluan and Qingnu serve the Emperor so quickly, and things got out of control from then on...

Actually, this is not anyone else’s fault.

"Qingluan and Qingnu are not like those girls from aristocratic families. They have received a good education since childhood. Even if they enter the palace, they know that they cannot make mistakes in the palace. They must be careful in what they say and do, and they must not make the emperor or the queen mother unhappy. Otherwise, their families will be implicated to some extent."

Yu Huan said this very directly in front of Jiang Rong, without any tactful expression. Yu Huan felt that there was no need to be secretive in front of the empress dowager.

It is better to tell the truth. Besides, the royal family regards human life as worthless. Even if you don’t say it out loud, everyone knows it.

The Queen Mother knew it very well, and Yu Huan also knew that the Queen Mother was not the kind of person who could take someone's life easily. Maybe she would do so when she was young, but not when she was old.

It is precisely because too many sins of killing were committed when they were young, so when they reach a certain age, they naturally want to make up for some of the mistakes they made when they were young.

Obviously, this is what the Queen Mother is like at this moment.

After Yu Huan finished speaking, he did not pause, but continued: "It is precisely because of the backgrounds of Qingluan and Qingnu, and because they have no relatives outside the palace, that their purpose is so obvious. Whether they entered the palace or not, they would frantically curry favor with whoever is beneficial to them and use this person to achieve their desired goals."

At this point, Yu Huan paused again: "Moreover, the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu are also typical of those who are ready to throw the pot into the ground. To them, they don't have any relatives. Even if they make a mistake and implicate their entire clan, they won't take it seriously, because to them, it's just a rotten life, so it's no big deal if they die!"

From the moment they entered the palace, they only took advantage of the Empress Dowager.

Including obeying the Queen Mother's orders at the beginning.
