"I have already realized my mistake. From now on, I will follow the lead of Your Majesty and Your Majesty. Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Daji said sternly, "Don't panic. If I wanted your life, you would have been beheaded by now.
Since you have helped the Queen Mother before, you must know everything about her?"
As soon as the words fell, Gao Lishi breathed a sigh of relief and said without hesitation:
"What does your Majesty want to know? I will tell you everything I know."
Daji continued to ask, "I have heard that the Queen Mother is always accompanied by a eunuch.
And that eunuch, it seems, isn't a real eunuch. His name is Lao Ai. Is this true?"
Gao Lishi didn't think much about it and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it is true."
"Then Lao Ai, is he the Queen Mother's male favorite?"
Daji asked without hesitation.
Now that things have come to this, Gao Lishi will naturally say whatever he wants.
"Your Majesty, that Lao Ai is indeed the Queen Mother's male favorite.
As far as I know, Lao Ai would climb onto the Queen Mother's bed almost every night.
However, very few people know about this matter, only a handful.
Aside from the slaves, almost all of them are die-hard followers of the Queen Mother."
Hearing this, Daji raised the corners of her mouth slightly and asked with a smile:
"I wonder if you could find irrefutable evidence of the Queen Mother's affair with that male favorite?"
In fact, there has been no shortage of empresses dowagers seeking male favorites for pleasure throughout the dynasties.
However, even if others knew about it, they would keep it secret and not dare to talk about it.
Only after the Empress Dowager passes away will her name be recorded in history books by historians and her infamy will last forever.
If so, Daji would quietly make this matter public now.
Then, Lu Zhi would never have a chance to turn the tables.
From now on, the entire harem will be under the control of Daji.
In fact, in terms of wisdom, Daji is far ahead of Lu Zhi.
Unless people like Wu Zetian, Lu Zhi, Zhao Feiyan, Zhangsun Shi, Dou Yifang, etc. are tied together.
Only by working together to deal with Daji can we barely gain a slight advantage.
If they come alone, they are no match for Daji.
Once upon a time, Daji simply thought that His Majesty had no intention of taking power, so she tolerated Lu Zhi again and again.
But things are different now.
The emperor no longer hid his own shortcomings, so there was naturally no need for him to be respectful to Lu Zhi anymore.
Some things, it's time to do them.
