Empress Fucha curtsied to the Empress and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I do indeed have a way to make Lady Nian disappear forever, but I need Your Majesty's help..."
The Empress twirled her wrist on the table and said calmly, "As you probably know, the Emperor values Lady Nian highly; it's not something you or I can shake. I won't do anything futile unless I'm absolutely certain..."
Concerned that the Empress might back down, Empress Fucha quickly said, "It's precisely because Lady Nian is difficult to deal with that this is the best opportunity. If we can seize it, we can eliminate Lady Niohuru and Lady Nian at the same time, and Your Majesty's life will be settled once and for all..."
The Empress seemed persuaded. After a moment of contemplation, she casually said, "What you say makes sense. I was too cautious and lenient with them before, which led to the chaotic state of the harem. It's time to clean it up properly..."
Empress Fucha breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "I've heard that Lady Nian has been bedridden and suffering from a chronic illness since the death of the young prince... If we can find the last straw to break her back at this moment, Lady Nian will definitely not be able to hold on..."
The Empress nodded, understanding Fucha's meaning, and said calmly, "The reason why Lady Nian has been able to enjoy such favor in the palace for so long and act so domineeringly is all because of her brother's illustrious military achievements. The Emperor, considering the power of the Nian family, naturally cannot treat Lady Nian unfairly. I have long known this, but I did not expect that Lady Nian was unlucky and did not have the good fortune to bring about the death of her own son..."
Lady Fucha smiled contentedly, sat up straight, and said resentfully, "As long as her brother, General Nian, commits a crime and angers the Emperor, that would be enough to take Lady Nian's life..."
"I will have the Ulanara family keep an eye on Nian Gengyao's movements outside the palace. I have heard that the previous dynasty has impeached Nian Gengyao many times. It seems that this general has become arrogant and complacent because of the emperor's favor. Since that is the case, I will make him realize his mistakes. It will also help the emperor solve his problems..." The empress felt that if she really dealt with Nian Gengyao at this time, it would be beneficial to her. So she went along with Fucha's wishes.
Empress Fucha was secretly delighted, but forced herself to remain calm and continued, "I will also send people to inform my maternal family to cooperate with Your Majesty's people in searching for evidence of Nian Gengyao's wrongdoings outside the palace. Then, we will join forces with the former officials in court to impeach him. His Majesty will have no choice but to take it seriously. Once His Majesty becomes suspicious, the Nian family will be in grave danger..."
The Empress chuckled twice, glanced at Empress Fucha, and slowly said, "I have truly found a treasure. With you by my side offering advice and strategies, I can achieve twice the results with half the effort..."
Empress Fucha bowed her head meekly before the Empress and said timidly, "Your Majesty, I only did what I should do. I must thank Your Majesty for your trust..."
The Empress had witnessed Fucha's cunning and felt that although she was not a righteous person, she could be a capable assistant if she could be used. So she asked, "In that case, I would like to ask how to make the Emperor pay more attention to Hongshi?"
Empress Fucha was not surprised by the Empress's question, and smiled knowingly, "Your Majesty need not be too anxious. To get the Emperor to pay attention to the Second Prince, only the Second Prince can accomplish great things and attract the Emperor's attention..."
The Empress immediately said dejectedly, "Let alone great achievements, Hongshi can hardly even show his face in front of the Emperor anymore. Where is the merit he has to make?"
Seeing this, Empress Fucha quickly comforted her, saying, "Your Majesty, I have been planning for the Second Prince's future for a long time, but the time is not yet fully ripe. Please allow me to think about it some more, Your Majesty, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer..."
