Chapter 39 Flatterer



Seeing that Grand Tutor Fang really had no intention of taking care of her son, Mrs. Fang placed her hopes on the Queen.

She asked her maid to find a way to pass the message to the queen, while she herself tried to smooth things over with her connections.

But others are not fools. Knowing that his son has made a mistake, they want to stay away from her for fear of being implicated.

Even the ladies who were usually on good terms with her stayed indoors.

Mrs. Fang was very disappointed that she failed to find the connection, but fortunately the maid brought good news.

Tell her that the message has been sent to the Queen.

In the palace, the queen did receive the message, but she seemed to be in a trance as if she didn't hear it.

"Your Majesty," Lanzhi called softly, "Do you want me to reply?"

The queen came to her senses and asked her to say it again.

After hearing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. "I can barely protect myself right now, why should I care about that loser's life or death? If Mother wants to make trouble, let her do it."

She doesn't want to waste her energy on a useless person who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

If he had more ability, he could become a general like the brother of that bitch Concubine Li. The emperor would have to think twice before making any move on him, and there would be no need to ask for help from others everywhere.

"Yes, Your Majesty is like this now, and Madam doesn't care about Your Majesty, but makes things difficult for you. This heart is really biased."

The queen's expression was calm, her hands resting on the table. She had gotten used to it over the years.

If I were not the queen, my mother might not even remember that she had a daughter in the deep palace.

"By the way, is there anything interesting happening in the palace these days? I want to hear about it."

Seeing that she took the initiative to ask about what happened outside, Lanzhi smiled and said, "I have wanted to tell you about it for a long time, but I was afraid that you would not want to hear it."

He happily poured her tea and said, "The virtuous concubine colluded with Commander Deng to murder the emperor. They both committed suicide in the prison."

The virtuous concubine and the empress had always been at odds. Lanzhi thought the empress would be happy if she told her about this, but the empress just sighed, and there was even a hint of sadness on her face.

After a long while, he slowly said: "This is the fate of the women in the harem. I am afraid that I will end up like this too."

Her eyelids have been twitching these days, as if reminding her that something is going to happen.

Coupled with the prince's words, she couldn't sleep all night. Every time she closed her eyes, she could see Queen Lu staring at her.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? You are the Queen, you wouldn't act like a virtuous concubine."

The queen smiled faintly and said nothing. She took a sip of tea and asked about Master Fang.

Lanzhi lowered her eyes, looking as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant, which made the Queen guess what she was thinking.

"Tell me, what is there that I cannot bear to hear?"

"The Grand Tutor was dismissed by the Emperor and ordered to retire and return home."

Lanzhi stammered as she finished speaking, observing the queen's expression.

"I see."

Although the emperor disliked my father before, he did not let him retire and return home. Now that he has done this, I am afraid he will start to deal with her.

"Lanzhi," the Queen called softly, "where's Concubine Li? How's she doing?"

The emperor treats her like this because of that bitch Concubine Li. Concubine Li must be very proud!

"Now when the Emperor goes to the harem, he only goes to see Concubine Li. Even her daughter is loved by the Emperor like a treasure. He carries her wherever he goes. She is more favored than the Crown Prince."

The Queen scratched the table with her nails, "Is everything alright with General Jin?"

She has prepared everything, but does the emperor really trust the Jin family so much?

"I haven't heard any news, so he should be fine."

......

at the same time.

The secret guards sent out to investigate the emperor's study have returned.

"Tell me, is there any result?"

"Your Majesty, I did not see the person in the painting at Cai's residence."

[No way, did I remember it wrong? This shouldn't be the case!]

Yu Yiluo was a little self-doubting, but after thinking about it, she felt that she couldn't be wrong.

She remembered the scene where the queen died very clearly, and there was no doubt that Nanny Chang was in the Cai family.

Could it be that the plot is different, so Nanny Chang hasn't arrived at the Cai family yet?

She also deduced from the timeline of the plot that Nanny Chang should also be in the Cai family.

"You continue to observe."

The emperor waved away the secret guards and thought to himself, could it be that the little guy really remembered it wrong?

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister requests an audience."

[Yes, how could I have forgotten Li Qian? If Li Qian often went to the Cai family, she might have met Aunt Chang.]

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked someone to invite the prime minister in.

The Prime Minister's face was filled with smiles and he seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

"Your Highness."

The emperor asked him to stand up, gave him a seat and ordered someone to serve tea.

Prime Minister Li was somewhat flattered and felt that the emperor treated him differently today.

"Lord Li, what do you want from me?"

Hearing this address, Prime Minister Li became even more reserved.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to give you the shoes my wife made for the little princess."

As he said this, he handed the box in his hand to Eunuch Cao.

The lady had been doing it for several days, but she couldn't enter the palace for no reason, so she had to hand him over to the emperor.

"Okay, I'll give it to Concubine Li." The emperor took it and put it aside.

Smiling, he asked, "My dear, you look radiant. I'm sure your daughter and the Cai family are about to get married."

[Tsk tsk, Tyrant is like me, a gossipy couple.]

emperor:"……"

He wanted to know whether Li Qian had possibly met Nanny Chang.

Prime Minister Li suppressed the smile on his face and nodded.

"Indeed, my daughter has been learning business from Mrs. Cai recently."

Yu Yiluo was delighted.

[Isn't this a coincidence? Nanny Chang is the one who serves Madam Cai. God helps the tyrant. If only the tyrant could let Li Qian enter the palace.]

Just as I was thinking about it, the emperor's voice rang out.

"That's a good thing. Last time, Concubine Li and your daughter took a shine to each other. My dear, why not let your daughter come to the palace and talk to Concubine Li?"

[That's awesome! Tyrant is like a worm in my stomach. He said exactly what I wanted to say.]

A black line appeared on the emperor's forehead.

If it's on Concubine Li, it's like they have a telepathic connection; if it's on him, it's like a roundworm.

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Li Fei. I will let my daughter enter the palace to speak with you when I return."

Prime Minister Li was delighted. His daughter was a concubine, so it was a good thing that she could catch the eye of Concubine Li.

After seeing off Prime Minister Li, the Emperor waited until dinner time and then went to Concubine Li's palace.

After the meal, he told Concubine Li that Li Qian would enter the palace.

Concubine Li agreed with a smile. It was nice to have someone to talk to. There was nothing interesting to do in the palace all day. She was quite interested in the affairs of Li Qian and the Cai family.

"These are the shoes that Madam Li made for Luo'er."

Eunuch Cao handed the box over. Concubine Li opened it and took out the lovely tiger-head shoes. She praised them sincerely, "These shoes are much better than mine."

Concubine Li held the shoes in front of her daughter and smiled softly, "Luo'er, take a look. Do you like them?"

Yu Yiluo nodded politely, smiled and raised her hand to grab her shoes.

"If Concubine Li says it's good, it must be excellent." The emperor laughed happily.

[Is this some new way of praising someone, you sycophant?]
