Chapter 320: Concubine An's Thoughts
An Yueya also showed a trace of impatience in her eyes.
If Concubine An was not still useful, she would have found another partner long ago. An Yueya always felt that this person was a little difficult to achieve.
"I don't know what tricks Qin Xixi used, the emperor's hand actually recovered. If I didn't let the emperor's hand fall apart again at that time, I'm afraid that with the emperor's favoritism towards Pei Xuanyi and the eldest princess, he would definitely listen to them and release the Qin family."
Concubine An thought carefully, and it was indeed as An Yueya said. The
eldest princess just started a conversation and let Qin Qixuan continue to speak after her words, and the emperor pardoned Qin Qixuan's crime. If Pei Xuanyi and the eldest princess continued to confuse the emperor together, the situation would be very unfavorable to Concubine An and the others.
But...
Concubine An's face was distorted, with a look of resentment in her eyes.
"Forget about the eldest princess. When His Majesty was young, the eldest princess stayed with him for a long time. After all, she had some desire to seize the throne. But what reason does the emperor have to favor that brat Pei Xuanyi so much!"
Concubine An has been unhappy with Pei Xuanyi for a long time. Although Pei Xuanyi is still a child, everyone in the palace knows that if His Majesty passes away, Pei Xuanyi will probably be the next person to inherit the throne.
"Forget about the princess. Pei Xuanyi is just an orphan without a mother and a disabled father. The old emperor really treats him as a treasure. It's so funny! Pei Xuanyi, such an uneducated waste, can snatch the emperor's attention from Ling'er... I have waited for so many years and used so many tricks, why doesn't he die yet?"
Concubine An was happy to have a dragon son, but the emperor just went to Concubine An's palace often to play with her.
But when Concubine An pretended to casually bring up the issue of establishing a crown prince, the emperor remained silent. Concubine
An knew in her heart that the crown prince had already stepped half a step into the underworld. The reason why the emperor still kept his crown prince position was just to let him return the title to the crown prince in his heart after his death.
This resentment has been hidden in her heart for a long time. The reason why she chose to cooperate with the two siblings of the An family was not only because the news from the Qin family ignored her, but also because Concubine An had been in the palace for so many years, but she still ended up being envied by the emperor. Although her position in the palace was very high, she had never obtained actual power.
Even someone as arrogant and domineering as Concubine Shu could be in charge of the harem, but she could only stay in this high wall, letting her age pass by and her life deteriorate day by day.
Listening to Concubine An constantly cursing the little grandson of the emperor, and occasionally bringing the eldest princess, An Yueya's eyes flashed with impatience.
I don't know when it started, but Concubine An has been a little crazy. Although she is very sober most of the time, she will become like this when talking about topics related to the royal family.
However, in the past few days, Anyueya has found a pattern. As long as she waits silently for a while, Concubine An will calm down from that crazy state by herself.
Sure enough, Concubine An soon stopped cursing and turned to look at Anyueya.
Qin Xixi has a tool in her hand that can change the symptoms of the snake poison. Logically, this move of the An family should be useless.
However, looking at Anyueya's appearance, she doesn't seem to be afraid at all, but very calm. Concubine An couldn't help but feel a little scared. Could it be that Anyueya has a backup plan?
"So, how can we deal with the Qin family next?"
In fact, Concubine An is now a little wary of Anyueya.
Anyueya is too calm in everything she does, and her current performance is not what she should be at this age.
So Concubine An is actually a little scared. She thinks that someone like Anyueya should be difficult to control.
However, Concubine An has no choice now. She can only choose to listen to Anyueya's advice and use the method she gives to deal with the Qin family. Otherwise, relying
on the power of the An family on the border, there is no way to bring down such a huge family as the Qin family.
Concubine An does not like Anyueya, and Anyueya does not have any good feelings for Concubine An. The two of them are just using each other. Hearing Concubine An's question, Anyueya's impatience deepened. This Concubine An only had beauty but no brains.
"Now, we have used various methods to win the emperor's trust in you. What you need to do now is to deepen the emperor's good impression of you. Leave the rest to us."
The more favored Concubine An is, the higher the possibility that the emperor will promote her to the empress and take charge of the harem. If they have the empress to support them, the Qin family will naturally have nothing to fear.
This is also the reason why Anyueya chose to cooperate with Concubine An. It must be said that the death of the former empress did give the harem a lot of room for maneuver.
"Not only must you gain the emperor's trust, you must also make the emperor unable to leave you. This time, Qin Xixi accidentally cured the snake poison, but unexpectedly, it gave us an opportunity. Since the emperor wholeheartedly believes that it was you who saved him, then you should not leave this title to others."
If the emperor only believes that Concubine An can interpret for him during this process, then after everything is settled, Concubine An will have made an indelible contribution and her status will surely improve greatly.
Concubine An frowned after hearing what An Yueya said.
It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do.
The emperor is the supreme ruler, he is suspicious by nature, and he is able to reach the position of emperor, so his brain is naturally smarter than most people.
Concubine An really had no confidence that she could firmly grasp the emperor in her hands and make him believe in herself with her little tricks.
It was a coincidence that Qin Xixi rescued the emperor by chance, and Concubine An was just picking up the leak. But if Concubine An can't cure the emperor next time, how can she hide this matter?
"What you said, if I can easily grasp your majesty's heart, why should I listen to your arrangements here now? How can the emperor be so easily controlled."
Anyueya is not a fool. She had guessed that Concubine An would be timid, so she snorted coldly and handed the mother and child worms in her hand to Concubine An.
Concubine An was shocked when she first saw the mother worm on Anyueya's arm, but now she has become accustomed to it.
However, she was a little puzzled by Anyueya's actions at this time.
"What are you doing? I've seen this mother worm many times before,"
An Yueya shook her head. Concubine An had only seen the mother worm before, but she didn't know the real role behind it.
"The role of this mother worm is very important. It can not only control the offspring, but also plant the worm poison in others."
Concubine An was interested. She thought of the deaths and injuries of people in the palace before, and thought that the role of the worm was just that. She didn't expect An Yueya to have a backup plan.
"Oh? No matter how powerful this queen worm is, how powerful can it be? Can it control the emperor?"
