Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

The Queen Mother scolded the concubines again, "I am old now and cannot stand dirty things. The emperor has few children. If I knew that anyone dared to lay a hand on the heir, I would not forgive him easily.

All the concubines knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I will follow the instructions of the Empress Dowager."

Yixiu knew very well that the most important thing at the moment was the Queen Mother's attitude. If the Queen Mother refused to give in, then Nian Shilan's matter would be difficult to deal with.

She offered to see the Queen Mother off, and as the Queen Mother had something to say to Yixiu, she nodded and said, "The Queen is a filial child, I know that.

After leaving Jingren Palace, the Queen Mother said to Zhuxi, "I want to walk back to Shoukang Palace today, so I won't use the sedan chair for now."

Zhuxi was stunned for a moment, and after she reacted, she immediately realized that the Queen Mother had something to say to the Queen.

Zhuxi asked the eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair to go back and dismissed some of the palace servants who were serving around.

Now, the only people around the empress dowager are Yixiu, Jianqiu and Zhuxi.

The Empress Dowager sighed, took Yixiu's hand, and asked in confusion, "The Emperor is partial. He wants to protect Noble Lady Nian, so why do you have to join in the fun? Noble Lady Nian is a restless person and has always been arrogant and domineering. When her brother was still alive, she gave you so much trouble. Now is the perfect opportunity to teach you a lesson.

Yixiu hesitated and said carefully, "As the Empress, the Emperor's legal wife, I should be magnanimous and tolerant."

The Queen Mother walked forward and replied slowly, "You are a clever child. I think you have already guessed who caused Concubine Nian's miscarriage. Concubine Nian has been unable to have children for many years. The Emperor seems to dote on Concubine Nian, but in fact he is wary of her at every turn. If Concubine Nian knew about this, what do you think would happen?"

Yixiu always felt that the Queen Mother's words were full of hidden meanings. She raised her eyebrows, looking a little surprised, and then said with pretended regret:

"The Emperor had to do this out of necessity to guard against Nian Gengyao. Now that the Nian family has fallen, and the Emperor loves Concubine Nian and wants to be with her forever, why should we offend the Emperor?"

The Queen Mother suddenly turned around and said to Zhu Xi with a cold gaze, "I've lost a ring on my finger. Take Jian Qiu with you to look for it. If it were any other ring, it would be fine, but it happened to be a gift from the late Emperor. I have carried it with me all these years and never let it go."

Zhu Xi said: "Yes!"

After sending Zhuxi and Jianqiu away, the empress dowager told Yixiu the truth straight away.

"Some time ago, Longkodo sent me a letter. He said that a remarkable general, both virtuous and talented, and both wise and courageous, had emerged in the Northwest Army. This was supposed to be a blessing for the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately, that remarkable general turned out to be just like Nian Gengyao."

Yixiu's heart trembled. What did this old fox Longkodo discover?

Although her heart was already filled with turmoil, Yixiu still said seriously, "Could this be just a rumor? Perhaps the two people just look a bit alike. Wasn't Nian Gengyao executed by the Emperor? How could this be?"

The Queen Mother glanced around, then took the Queen's hand and whispered in her ear, "Longkodo wants you and the Crown Prince to be on guard against the Emperor."

Yixiu slowly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the empress dowager thought that the emperor had faked Nian Gengyao's death and actually sent him to the northwest as a secret agent.

The Queen Mother looked Yixiu up and down, and finally said meaningfully:

"I trust Longkodo quite a bit. If there's anything the Crown Prince doesn't understand, Longkodo is a veteran minister and can be relied upon."

Now that things have come to this, is there anything Yixiu doesn't understand?

It seems that Longkodo has found something wrong between him and the prince, and is using this matter to threaten him!

Yijia nodded obediently, "The Crown Prince has been staying in the Eastern Palace, and I don't usually see him. When the Crown Prince arrived that day, I asked him to go and pay his respects to the Empress Dowager in person."

The Queen Mother raised her lips in satisfaction and chuckled softly, "Speaking of kinship, you still call me cousin! After all, we are family. Isn't a woman's life all about having children and family?"

Yixiu's eyes rolled as a plan came to mind. "In that case, I think we must protect Noble Lady Nian. If we go too far, I'm afraid it will alert them!"

The Queen Mother had already delivered her message. At her age, she had long lost interest in the power of the harem, so she said directly to Yixiu:

"I am old now, so I will leave this matter to you. You are also a mother, so please don't be too soft-hearted."

Yixiu bowed and said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your guidance."

Gyeongin Palace

The concubines have left, but the emperor is still waiting for Yixiu.

Yixiu bowed slightly and saluted the emperor, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good health."

The Emperor waved his hand casually, his expression somewhat impatient. "What on earth is the Empress Dowager thinking? This was definitely not done by Shilan. Someone must have deliberately framed her."

Yixiu raised her eyes to look at the Emperor, her lips gradually straightening. "I don't know what the reason is this time, but the Empress Dowager actually dislikes Noble Nian so much, and she's not willing to explain it to me. It's all because I've been busy managing the harem recently and haven't paid any attention to the Empress Dowager. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

After hearing what Yixiu said, the emperor paused and said to Su Peisheng meaningfully, "Who has been visiting the Empress Dowager regularly to pay respects and serve her during this period?"

Su Peisheng thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "Empress Hui often goes to Shoukang Palace to serve the Empress Dowager. Empress Jing and Concubine Wan also often go there."

Yixiu added just the right amount of stab, "Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui have always been the most filial. This time, they even used cinnabar to copy scriptures for the Empress Dowager!"

Everything suddenly made sense. The emperor glanced at Yixiu, then left Jingren Palace with Su Peisheng without saying a word.

When Yixiu saw the emperor leaving, she quickly called Xiudong.

"Hurry and tell the Crown Prince that Longkodo has discovered the truth about Nian Gengyao's life, but he misinformed the Empress Dowager. She's led to believe that the Emperor staged Nian Gengyao's death to use against me and the Crown Prince. It seems Longkodo is trying to gain some advantage over the Crown Prince, so he and Lord Su will have to deal with it."

Xiudong nodded, "I understand. Your Majesty, don't worry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been cautious, and with Lord Su by his side to offer advice, nothing should happen."

Yixiu certainly knew that her son was cautious and Su Chou was also a capable person, but what they were doing was a matter of life and death after all. When you are in the chess game, every step is cautious and if you are not careful, you will be beheaded.

The battle for the throne among the nine princes is still vivid in my mind. It is so difficult to reach that position.

Yixiu looked into the distance, and the meaning in her eyes became deeper.

Whoever wants to harm his son must die.
