"It seems that Madam Xie is unwilling to help me share my worries?"
"If the emperor is in trouble, what can I do?"
The bride's face suddenly darkened.
"Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to say, I will take my leave." Shen Heng stood up, bowed to her, and turned to leave. She really couldn't stay any longer.
Watching Chen Heng disappear, the new queen slammed her hand on the table in anger.
The old nanny beside her said distressedly, "Empress, there's no need to hurt your hand for such an ungrateful woman. If you were already the Empress, there would be plenty of people to share your worries."
The Queen stood up and said angrily, "As the Queen, I can't even save my own brother. Isn't this a joke? Let's go find the Emperor."
The carriage rushed all the way out of the palace.
"Madam, how could the Queen be so temperamental?" Achan lowered the car window. She had just heard the look of disbelief on her face. Even as a maid, she knew how inappropriate the Queen's behavior was.
Chen Heng smiled and said, "There are so many people with different personalities in this world, that's why there's a saying that birds of a feather flock together."
Achan nodded.
The new queen's personality was indeed rare among the noble families. Chen Heng was more likely to come into contact with women from wealthy families like the Yu family and Yun Zhao. No matter what they had in mind, even if they met their enemies, they would usually act like ladies from a noble family. There were also some who were as cheerful as Liu Xinyue.
Of course, there are also some who are spoiled and arrogant, and most of them are spoiled by their families. The new queen is probably one of them.
The person who impressed Chen Heng the most was Min Yuqing. Madam Wu said that what she liked most about Yuqing was that she never spoke loudly, and her self-control when dealing with family members' meetings. Even Nanny Feng served her for a while without suspecting anything. This is not something that ordinary people can do.
When Xie Jian came back in the evening, Shen Heng told him about Xiao Tian's entry into the palace.
Xie Jian shook his head: "The emperor mentioned it to the teacher, and the teacher scolded him back."
Chen Heng was a little worried: "Will the emperor bear a grudge against the master?"
Xie Jian took out a letter from his sleeve: "Take a look."
Chen Heng took it and opened it. It was a letter written by Si Qi to Xie Jian. It was two pages long and talked about how the new emperor could not sit firmly on the throne. In the end, he asked Xie Jian to make a choice, whether to continue to serve the Liu family or help him, Si Qi.
Si Qi's ambition is about to be brought to light.
"Every word is so certain that the Liu family's empire will be destroyed by Liu Tang." Shen Heng felt that his analysis was absolutely correct: "Then what is your choice?"
Xie Jian placed the letter on the candle flame, watched it burn to ashes, and said calmly, "In two hours. Perhaps it won't take two hours, and all the efforts made by the Master, Liu Yu, and me will be wasted."
Waste it all? Shen Heng thought for a moment: "The new emperor has taken office, and he doesn't have real power in his hands, so he must first seize real power."
Ah Heng's brain wasn't very good at making decisions, and she wasn't very quick to react to other people's calculations, but she had never been vague about political matters. Xie Jian nodded, "Since the Fourth Prince's death, the aristocratic families that supported him have been wiped out. Coupled with the implementation of Huimin, the power of the clans has been almost completely divided. If the Emperor were to support these aristocratic families, he would surely gain their support."
According to normal logic, Xie Jian and Lu Ji'an would naturally not allow this, but Chen Heng also knew that they had no ambition for power. Moreover, the more they opposed, the more the new emperor would be wary of them.
Those who cannot be helped will never be helped.
