In the morning, upon hearing the news that Yongshou Palace was under house arrest, Queen Mother Wang felt a little "regretful" -
"I had originally thought of adding fuel to the fire for Mrs. Xie, so that our little emperor could experience his mother's stupidity. Unexpectedly, Min Huang was decisive and directly locked Mrs. Xie up."
When Queen Mother Wang mentioned Concubine Xie, there was obvious sarcasm on her lips.
Such a stupid woman, if she hadn't been pregnant, would have been buried in the deep palace long ago.
How could she become a noble concubine, let alone have the delusion of wanting to be on par with the empress dowager.
"I heard that the Queen went to Yongshou Palace first—"
Ah Xian took the sweet white porcelain teacup from the little palace maid, felt the temperature of the cup with her fingertips, and made sure that there was no problem before she personally brought it to the Queen Mother's lips.
The Queen Mother lowered her head, took a sip, then raised her head with a slightly faded smile, "The Queen is here too, no wonder!"
No wonder Min Huang dealt with his mother so quickly. Queen Gu must have contributed to this.
"This Gu family really has a strange and delicate mind."
"She was truly devoted to Min Huang. This couple worked together to drive me out of the court. Gu played a significant role!"
"...Alas, I just don't know how Min Huang will 'repay' the Gu family after he takes control of the court."
Who hasn’t been a young couple? Who hasn’t supported each other?
The Queen Mother herself almost died while trying to save the late emperor, and completely lost her ability to bear children.
As a result, the only thing the late emperor gave her was the position of queen.
emotion?
Ha, the companionship we once had is now a joke in the harem.
In the face of power, they are worthless.
Putting aside other things, just the prince’s “accident”, was it really just an accident?
At that time, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the late Emperor had entered a state of "mutual respect", and the Wang family had already begun to prepare to support the crown prince to ascend the throne.
Then, the prince accidentally fell off his horse.
Haha, haha, what a “accident”?
Even though he knew that the death of the prince was closely related to the late emperor, he could not get angry.
She didn't even dare to express her doubts about the late emperor.
She could only investigate secretly and retaliate by causing the late emperor to "die of illness".
They are also married and have been together for nearly twenty years.
But in the end, they ended up on opposite sides because of power and desire.
In this harem, the father is unkind, the wife is unvirtuous, and each one of them is a monster that looks bright on the outside but is filthy on the inside!
"In fact, Your Majesty has already begun to 'repay' me, hasn't he? The Gu family has two dukes, and the whole family is rich and noble—"
Ah Xian felt the Queen Mother's fleeting loneliness, resentment and other negative emotions. She did not have direct authority, but instead spoke jokingly about the incident that happened half a year ago.
"Yes! Min Huang is much more ruthless than his father!"
Half a year ago, when Min Huang conferred upon Mr. Gu the title of Duke of Zheng, he had not yet taken power.
The emperor's party and the empress dowager's party are also fighting fiercely.
Min Huang suddenly gave the Gu family this supreme honor. On the surface, it seemed that he wanted to "stimulate" the Gu family to step up their efforts to help the emperor rule the country.
In fact, a clue was laid in advance.
From then on, Min Huang had already begun planning to "praise and kill" the Gu family.
Before successfully crossing the river, they were already planning to demolish the bridge.
Tsk tsk, even more mean than the late emperor.
The late emperor waited until the Wang family became powerful and formed a huge group of foreign relatives, threatening the rule of imperial power, before he took action.
Of course, the late emperor was not soft-hearted or indecisive.
But he is more powerful and ruthless than Min Huang.
If you don’t make a move, it’s fine, but once you do, hit the vital point directly - the Wang family’s greatest reliance is the prince!
He killed the prince, and the Wang family's high-rise building instantly lost its foundation.
The death of her only son was a fatal blow to the Queen Mother as a mother.
When the Queen Mother heard the tragic news that the prince had fallen from his horse, she immediately vomited blood.
After the prince's funeral, the queen mother was bedridden for nearly a year, and strands of white hair were mixed in her black hair.
The Queen Mother aged nearly ten years and was almost half dead!
If it weren't for Princess Ankang who stayed by her bedside every day and cried constantly, the Queen Mother might not have survived.
"Cruel! You really are cruel!"
Awakened by her daughter's crying, the Queen Mother gritted her teeth and cursed the late emperor in her heart while beginning to prepare for revenge.
The Queen Mother threw out the bait of "wanting to adopt a prince", which directly muddied the waters in the harem.
The late emperor could only watch his own sons fighting each other for the identity of "legitimate son".
Those years were definitely the bloodiest and most chaotic years in the capital of Dajing Dynasty.
Five or six adult princes, some were killed by "rebellion", some by accident, or by palace coup... In the end, the ninth prince was chosen. In addition to some of his conditions meeting the Queen Mother's requirements, it was also because -
All the princes who ranked ahead of him fell to the ground with a bang.
Only he and the seventh prince who was born with a disability have grown up. Although there are little princes later, they are all too young.
My dear Lord Guo, the late emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and needs an older heir who can support the country.
The late emperor was also afraid that the new king would be too young and the Min family's kingdom would fall into the hands of the Wang family.
“…Just Jiulang!”
Even if the late emperor looked down on Min Huang, the invisible prince, he had no choice but to choose him today.
The emperor and empress rarely reached a consensus, and Min Huang was successfully enthroned as the crown prince.
Min Huang had been the crown prince for less than three months when the previous emperor passed away.
When he died, Min Huang was guarding his bedside. It was unknown what the father and son said to each other, but the late emperor passed away with a smile on his face.
"What else could it be? I guess the late emperor knew then that Jiulang, whom he had ignored for over a decade, was actually a wolf cub pretending to be a pig and reaping the tiger's wealth!"
"What a 'mediocre and incompetent' Ninth Prince! Even I was deceived by him."
After Min Huang ascended the throne, he rejected the Queen Mother's arrangement for the first time and forced a marriage with the Gu family. From that moment on, the Queen Mother knew that she had made a mistake.
She mistook the wolf cub for a dog.
It is precisely because she realized her mistakes that the Queen Mother became so strong.
She held on to the government tightly and refused to let go no matter what.
pity--
"Gu, oh Gu, you are so devoted to Min Huang, but your fate in the future may be worse than mine!"
Looking in the direction of Anyi Palace, a hint of coldness flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.
She would never sympathize with the Gu family. It was her own choice and she had no regrets.
Since you have chosen to help Min Huang, don't blame me for dealing with you too.
"No! In fact, I don't even need to target her deliberately. I just need to expose that matter——"
Three years ago, Min Huang disobeyed Queen Mother Wang's arrangement and refused to make Wang's daughter the queen, so Queen Mother Wang began to make preparations.
She sent out the Wang family's assassins to investigate not only Min Huang and Queen Gu, but also Concubine Xie.
Then, the Queen Mother had a surprise -
"Who would have thought that a fool like Xie would have such scheming and courage!"
