So in order to pave the way for her son, she chose to seek refuge with the Queen Mother and betrayed Su Chenyu who had once helped her.
She is not a stupid person. What happened last night was obviously someone trying to kill her.
It’s the Queen Mother!
She wanted to use the Empress Dowager's power to get rid of Concubine Shu and Su Siyi, but she didn't expect that the Empress Dowager wanted to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of both her and Concubine Shu, and even get rid of the two princes who would become a threat to Su Jinwei's future.
In this palace, everyone is either a chess piece or a chess player. She doesn't want to be a chess piece, so she can only work hard to be the chess player.
In the end, she is still a pawn.
Concubine Yun was even more unwilling in her heart. At this moment, Xi Que happened to hold the sleeping little prince in her arms and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look at the little prince."
Concubine Yun looked at the thin baby in the cradle, and her heart softened, then turned bitter: "If it weren't for what happened last night, how could this child be so thin?"
"My queen, please don't blame yourself. A woman in confinement should not shed tears." The magpie advised.
Concubine Yun asked the wet nurse to hold the little prince, and then her face changed immediately: "Xi Que, please help me with something..."
Originally, Emperor Jing of Wei was still investigating the affairs of the Queen Mother, but after a while, rumors about the Queen Mother were rife in the harem.
It was rumored that the Queen Mother had harmed the prince in Concubine Yun's belly and was getting her retribution.
Emperor Jing of Wei immediately thought of the matter of Deng Hailuan. The empress dowager had always valued Deng Hailuan. Could it be that Deng Hailuan had done something?
But why did the Queen Mother take action against the child in Concubine Yun’s belly? Isn’t this child her grandson?
"Investigate, investigate for me!" Emperor Jing of Wei slammed the table in anger. Cai Quan accepted the order and left. He knew in his heart that the Empress Dowager's life in the harem would not be easy in the future.
As evening approached, everyone gathered at Fushou Hall for dinner to welcome Li Yuan.
Seeing that Yao's seat was vacant, the old lady said with some displeasure: "Ting'er, your wife hasn't come back yet?"
Qi Liting was a little embarrassed: "Not yet, but probably soon."
Li Yu's dissatisfaction with the Yao family has accumulated a lot: "Why does mother run to the Yao family all day long? Mingzhu is also from the Yao family, but she is not like mother."
Yao Mingzhu, who was mentioned, did not say anything, but just pursed her lips.
The old lady glanced at Yao Mingzhu and said calmly, "Then don't wait any longer. Let's eat first."
As soon as the words fell, Yao's voice rang out: "The old lady is having dinner here today, how come no one informed me?"
The curtain was opened, and Yao came in with two people.
As soon as she came in, she saw Li Yuan, and the smile on Yao's face froze instantly: "Big, big brother, why are you back?"
Liliyuan just glanced at her and said, "Do I need to notify you when I return to this Lili Mansion?"
Yao was about to explain something, but Yao Tingzhi, who was standing behind her, spoke up: "Minzhi, this is the Duke of Zhenguo, right? I have heard of his fame in the past, but I have never seen him in person. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to see him as soon as I arrived."
As the saying goes, you should never hit a smiling person. Yao Tingzhi's flattering words, which did not sound materialistic, eased the somewhat stagnant atmosphere.
The old lady smiled when she saw Yao Tingzhi: "Tingzhi, I haven't seen you for so many years, how come you still look like a little girl? You are so different from Minzhi, you don't look like sisters at all. People who don't know you would think you are mother and daughter!"
