All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

The Queen Mother calmly sat down in the main seat. She just couldn't believe that anyone would be willing to listen to the words of a "madman"?

"Is it a bad omen that I came here to disturb your sisters' gathering?"

She glanced at Cui Lihua who was kneeling on the ground.

Cui Lihua was so frightened that her whole body was shaking and she didn't dare to look the empress dowager in the eyes.

She doesn't want to die.

Bu Ji held his stomach and walked forward and said.

"Why do you think so, Her Majesty? I am so glad you can come."

"The baby in my belly was still sleeping just now. As soon as he heard that the Imperial Grandmother was coming, he immediately started to toss and turn in my belly."

She smiled faintly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere in the room.

If what Cui Lihua said was true, the Queen Mother would definitely not let her go.

The Queen Mother nodded, glanced at her belly, and said nothing.

"Sit down."

Yanzhi quickly brought over a chair for her queen to sit down.

Bu Ji sat next to the empress dowager. The empress dowager smelled the scent of mugwort and frowned. She had also smelled the same scent when Concubine Li was full-term pregnant.

After consulting the imperial physician, I found out that there were already signs of miscarriage, and fumigating with mugwort could help her survive until the baby was born, even if the mother died.

Poor Concubine Li's child was choked to death by a mouthful of amniotic fluid, otherwise, the child would have been the same size as Xing'er now.

The Queen Mother glanced at Bu Ji and sighed softly.

After all, it's a human life, and they are all women. She couldn't bear to see Bu Ji dying in the process of giving birth to a child.

Although she has already chosen her successor, this is a different matter.

The Queen Mother did not think that she was heartless, but rather felt that she was compassionate.

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Bu Ji spoke first.

"Mother, I think Madam Cui's condition has improved a lot. Why not let her come to serve me? The confinement period is a time when we are short of manpower."

During the confinement period?

She doesn't even have the time for confinement.

The Empress Dowager understood that she wanted to protect Cui Lihua, and she said nothing for a long time. She lowered her brows and looked at the embarrassed woman who was kneeling on the ground and dared not look up.

This Cui Lihua is really capable. She can make Bu Ji forget the previous grudge between them and help her at this critical moment.

Bu Ji is the queen, and when he asked her for someone in front of so many palace maids, she had to give the queen some face.

"I also think that Madam Cui's condition has improved a lot, she just talks nonsense occasionally."

"It's not impossible to let her stay here to serve the Queen, but if she says something and spreads rumors, the Queen must not be deceived or go crazy with her."

This was a warning to Bu Ji, meaning that the charge of insanity could be pinned on her head at any time, forcing her to stay with Cui Lihua.

Bu Ji pretended not to understand and said with a smile.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Madam Cui. I have the best female doctor in the palace. I believe that Madam Cui's delirium will be cured soon."

"Right and wrong are in people's hearts, what do you think, mother?"

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened, her face turned cold, and she glanced at Bu Ji.

She was really brave enough to question her.

It seemed that Cui Lihua had told her everything, so neither she nor Cui Lihua could stay.

What a great saying that right and wrong are in the human heart, she is the human heart.

"Yes, right and wrong are in people's hearts."

"But, Queen, you need to think clearly about where the people of Chu and Jin are."

People's hearts are not on the emperor, but on these aristocratic families. The emperor can be replaced, but the three major aristocratic families cannot be changed.

More than half of the court's taxes came from the three major families.

The Lin family, the Fucha family, and the Wanqi family respectively occupied the largest gold mines, salt mines, and docks in the Chu and Jin states.

Fortunately, the Lin family and the Fucha family have always been at odds with each other, to the point where they are like water and fire, and there is no possibility for the two families to unite.

Only the Wanqi clan was left. The Wanqi clan had always maintained a neutral attitude. They would get close to whoever the new emperor was and would not side with anyone, like a huge fence-sitter.

Little do they know that this fence-sitter is the most critical.

Once the Queen Mother and Prince Xing win over Wanqi, the Lin family will form an alliance with the Wanqi family. At that time, Fucha will not interfere. After all, his daughter is no longer the queen of the palace. There is nothing wrong with Fucha staying out of it.

It avoids getting involved in the fight for the throne and wasting time and money.

How could Bu Ji know all this? She had lived in the deep palace for a long time and had only left the palace a few times since she traveled through time. She had no chance to contact outsiders.

She had never even heard of Wanqi.

In the last selection, there wasn't a single girl from the Wanqi clan. Their family was very strange. They would never send their daughters to the palace, and would never allow them to marry princes or generals. Instead, they would match them with men who worked as farmers, did business, taught, or painted.

The only thing she wouldn’t do is marry someone from the imperial court.

It's true to say that he has integrity, but it's also true to say that he is timid and cowardly.

Since this was the family motto, the emperor couldn't say anything. After all, the Wanqi family had been like this since the previous emperors and didn't care about what happened in the court at all.

The Wanqi family only looks at one result, and that is to depend on whoever ascends the throne.

To access the dock, approval is needed from the government, and it is not entirely up to him.

"People's hearts are naturally with the emperor."

"The emperor is wise and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is evident everywhere."

"It is much more popular than a person who is far away."

Bu Ji calmly answered the Queen Mother's questions and even tried to enlighten her.

How is this possible? The Queen Mother had long been brainwashed by Lord Lin and felt that Li Ji was not capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility. Only Xing'er was the most suitable candidate for the emperor.

Li Ji had made great military achievements, and the best thing for him was to be an idle prince assisting the emperor.

The Queen Mother's heart has been leaning towards the Lin family, and it has been leaning towards that family for a long time.

The late emperor did not treat her well. She gave birth to twins for him only to consolidate his position as queen. The late emperor also gave her face and named the eldest prince as crown prince when he was just six years old.

The late emperor has always given face to her Lin family.

But later, Concubine Li seemed to have become a different person overnight. Her personality actually pleased the late emperor. The late emperor was like a young boy who had just fallen in love. He plunged into love and ignored everything else. He only wanted to be with Concubine Li all day long.

People inside and outside the palace said that the position of Empress was going to change.

Even so, the Queen Mother never had any intention to kill Concubine Li. She only resented the Li family and the late emperor, and was unwilling to see her own son.

But Li Ji had a bad temper and was not as smooth-tempered as Prince Yu who could please others.

As a result, the Queen Mother disliked her own "Crown Prince" even more.

When the Queen Mother heard Bu Ji say this, she almost couldn't suppress her anger.

Just because she is a seductive concubine, she dares to discuss the imperial power.

Her hands were tightly gripping the handles of the chair, and the golden gem armor scratched across the wood, making a slight sound.

Along with this voice, her eyes became vicious and extremely sinister.

It seems that she has to get rid of Bu Ji and Cui Lihua before the emperor returns to the palace.

Otherwise, these two people would ruin her Lin family's plans.
