After years of service, Donghan is still quite adept at serving people.

With a few gentle kneading and pressing motions, Fucha Jinyi's throbbing head immediately felt relieved.

Of course, one still cannot think about Consort Dun; thinking about it gives one a headache, which is more effective than any magic pill.

Waving her hand to stop Dong Han, Fucha Jin Yi opened her eyes, a dark glint flashing in her gaze. "Let Consort Dun be for now."

"But, Your Majesty," Dong Han opened her mouth to complain, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Fucha Jinyi.

“There are no buts,” Fucha Jinyi said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation. “We won’t gain anything by going head-to-head with Consort Dun.”

There are no benefits and a lot of drawbacks; you should know that the emperor's attitude determines everything.

Fucha Jinyi's words effectively stopped Dong Han from taking things further.

Dong Han glanced at the cold expression on her master's face and realized that this was not a good time for her to continue trying to sow discord. She could only nod in agreement for now and look for other suitable opportunities later.

Before Dong Han could even go looking for it, Yanxi Palace turned around and handed the opportunity to her.

To be precise, it was Consort Borjigit of Yanxi Palace who was complaining to her maid when Dong Han's people overheard her.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, for the time being, Dong Han's first reaction after learning that Consort Dun had been so reckless during the Mulan Autumn Hunt was to tell her master what had happened so that he could decide the matter.

Empress: ...Is this ever going to end? You can't just skip over Consort Dun's matter, can you?

Dong Han felt that her master had not yet grasped the seriousness of the matter, so she earnestly explained to him the transgression of Consort Dun and the Emperor's deliberate indulgence.

The underlying reasons are simply too intriguing to investigate.

"Your Majesty, this servant believes that Consort Dun should be taught a lesson."

Otherwise, if things continue like this, this person might dare to seize power in the palace.

The Empress remained calm and asked, "What's your plan?"

Dong Han couldn't help but purse her lips. "This servant thinks we should divide and conquer them." If we don't let these Mongolian concubines in the harem unite as one, and let Consort Dun be the commander of the army alone, then the threat they pose to them will be greatly reduced.

One person's plan is short-sighted, but many people's plans are long-sighted.

Aside from her own advantages and the emperor's support, Consort Dun had no other trump cards.

Fucha Jinyi looked at Dong Han, "What would be the best strategy to divide and conquer them?"

Dong Han continued to express his thoughts, "We are all born of the same root, why are we so eager to harm each other?"

But only those born of the same lineage have such a serious division of interests. Consort Dun and Consort Borjigit of Yanxi Palace are from the same family; if they were to become enemies, it would be a loss for both of them.

Fucha Jinyi stared intently at Donghan, never expecting that her maid would one day be able to express such a logical and clear opinion.

However, there is some truth to what he said. At least the infighting within Yanxi Palace does not harm Changchun Palace.

However, this matter is somewhat difficult to handle. "The Mongolian concubines have been unhappy in the harem for many years and are eager for a leader to emerge so that their situation can improve."

Consort Dun was born at the opportune moment, possessing the advantages of timing, location, and popular support. Even if I were to elevate Consort Borjigit, who shares the same palace, to compete with her, it wouldn't have much of an impact on Consort Dun.

The reason for this comes back to what I said at the beginning: the Emperor's attitude!

Consort Dun had many powerful backers, but in the palace, she only had the Emperor.

Unless Consort Borjigit has something that the Emperor can't give up, how can she play the game if she has to lower her head and lose some respect?

After thinking it over for a while, Dong Han tentatively suggested that it might be better if she were pregnant.

Fucha Jinyi's eyes were serious. "Borjigit Consort is Mongolian," she said, adding that she also had a common surname.

Dong Han grinned, "She'll only conceive but not give birth. Besides, Consort Yu is already pregnant, so the Emperor shouldn't mind too much."

The phrase "conceive but not give birth" coming from the mouth of Donghan, the Empress's personal maid who had served her for many years, was rather chilling in a way.

At least Fucha Jin Yi herself was stunned for a moment. Even though she had dealt with a few people from the Niohuru clan before, it was still different to have it clearly stated.

Frowning slightly, Fucha Jinyi spoke up to remind her, "Be mindful of your actions."

Dong Han subconsciously covered the corner of her mouth and tried to explain, "It was my misunderstanding. I wasn't pregnant. I just felt that pregnancy and childbirth have always been dangerous for women, not always smooth sailing. Uh, that's not what I meant, Your Majesty."

Empress Fucha Jinyi called out, "Alright, no need to say any more. I understand."

It is understood that this means allowing the events that happened to the Niohuru clan to be repeated in the Borjigit clan.

Winter Cold: ...

Dong Han reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

She thought to herself that it was good that her master understood; she didn't mean to imply anything about her master.

At least what he said was for the future of Changchun Palace.

Danger must be nipped in the bud. Once it festers into trouble, it's too late to say anything.

No matter how strong Dong Han's own selfish motives may be, she is definitely loyal to Changchun Palace and the Empress.

Therefore, while Dong Han's advice may not be 100% effective, from the perspective of Changchun Palace and the Empress, it was definitely not bad.

Fucha Jinyi lowered her head in deep thought, her expression troubled, clearly having been stirred by Dong Han's words.

After all, the benefits were obvious. The reason why the three members of the Niohuru clan were so well-behaved was because our side had acted quickly, accurately, and decisively back then.

"Let me think about it first," she said. "This is no small matter, and I must not act impulsively."

The Changchun Palace of today is not the same as when Empress Fucha Jinyi was pregnant and had a pardon from death.
