Since Li Shushu was crowned as the empress, the system of concubines paying respects to the empress on the first and fifteenth day of every month has been restored.
The power to manage the imperial palace was also taken back from Yan Yuyan to Li Shushu.
Originally, Li Shushu didn't want to take over this power because she found it tiring.
But...if Yan Yuyan continues to be in charge, it seems extremely inappropriate.
Although she had been taught a lesson many times, and the Emperor had threatened to send her to the cold palace if she committed the same offense again, Yan Yuyan did not dare to act rashly in the short term.
But Li Shushu knew that although she looked honest now, she couldn't always be so honest and resigned to her fate.
One could tell something from the unwilling look in her eyes, which showed that she was trying hard to hide the truth but still couldn't help revealing it, and from her willingness to bring Li Wanwan into the palace.
How proud she was before? How could she possibly agree to an unrelated person to help her win favor?
Li Shushu guessed correctly. Yan Yuyan was indeed very anxious in private, and was becoming more and more anxious and abnormal.
Although His Majesty had not been too close to her in the past, she was generally three points better to him than to others. Moreover, she had a good family background, which was also a source of pride for her. After the former queen passed away, all the power in the palace fell into her hands. Although she did not have the title of queen, she basically regarded herself as a queen in reality!
In the past, she could get whatever she wanted, but now, she has lost her power, the emperor's favor, and she doesn't even have a child. What should she do?
Yan Yuyan was so anxious that she couldn't sleep every night in her Zhongcui Palace. She secretly cursed Li Shushu and her child, and wished she could strangle them to death herself!
She had also really thought about finding a way to poison the young Gu Yichen at all costs.
But everyone, including the Queen Mother, regarded Gu Yichen as precious as the apple of their eye, and they were unable to get him for the time being.
Li Shushu naturally knew that her precious son might have many people worried about his life at this moment.
Although the security is tight, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so I think we will be hard to defend against.
So she took advantage of no one's attention and searched her wrist, but unfortunately there was nothing useful there. She only had one peace talisman, which she couldn't bear to use this time. She decisively put it on Gu Yichen, hoping to ward off disaster for him.
As for herself, although there are bound to be people waiting in the dark to harm her, she is now the queen after all, in a high position, and she is an adult. Compared with a child, her ability to protect herself is much better.
But one day not long after, the Ansheng Fu really came in handy.
That day, after the Queen Mother came to visit Xiao Yichen, Li Shushu felt a sensation on her wrist. She raised her wrist and saw that the Ansheng Talisman had lost its effect so quickly?
I guess someone did something bad to Xiao Yichen just now!
The Queen Mother regards the life of her little grandson Jin as more important than her own, so she would naturally not harm Xiao Yichen. So who was it that harmed him and what method did they use?
Li Shushu clenched her fingers around the teacup, not caring that the tea was scalding hot: Humph, it's bad enough that you were plotting to murder me, but now you've even dared to murder my son. Once I find out who it is, I'll naturally show no mercy.
She asked Anying to carefully investigate who the Queen Mother met and where she went before Fengyi Palace.
It was finally discovered that the Queen Mother had indeed met Yan Yuyan on the way to Fengyi Palace, and the two of them had traveled together.
Perhaps at that time, Yan Yuyan used some colorless and odorless poison on the Queen Mother. The poison might not have much effect on adults, but little Yichen was only a baby less than three months old, and his resistance must be much weaker. In addition, the adults were either looking down at him or holding him in their arms. If there was really poison on the clothes, wouldn't he be definitely poisoned?
"Yan Yuyan!" Li Shushu's eyes seemed to be filled with poison when he received the news.
The maternal instinct to protect her cubs was completely aroused!
She whispered fiercely, "It seems that this time, I can't keep you!"
…
In the Zhongcui Palace late at night, Yan Yuyan was stamping her feet anxiously in the hall. She had been waiting for good news the whole day. The poison she had used was extremely strong. Logically, if the little prince was poisoned, he should have had a seizure long ago, right?
If such a big thing happened, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would definitely be furious, and she should be able to get the news soon.
But a whole day has passed, why is there no news coming out of Fengyi Palace?
Could it be that the prince was not poisoned? Was he discovered by them?
impossible!
The method they thought of is so clever, and the poison is colorless and odorless, so it is impossible for it to be discovered so easily, right?
Besides, if someone discovered it on the spot, there would definitely be a big commotion. Why is it so quiet?
Unusual, really unusual!
She was as panicked as a hen anxious to lay eggs. She paced back and forth in the hall until almost dawn, but she still didn't get the news she wanted!
Li Shushu never takes the initiative to attack. In her habitual thinking, if someone tries to harm her and she goes along with it, that is self-defense and she is not wrong.
But if others didn't harm her, and she took the initiative to find ways to harm others, then... she would still feel a little uncomfortable in her heart!
Besides, she was mainly too lazy to think of those dirty tricks, and she didn't want to become as vicious as those people she hated.
But this time, if she doesn't take the initiative, it seems that it will not work!
Those people were hiding in the dark, and she didn't know how many open and covert attacks were waiting for her and the prince. She had to find a way to lure those people out and eliminate them in one fell swoop, so that she and her son could truly live a comfortable life in the future.
When Li Shushu learned that Yan Yuyan had been alone in her empty room for such a long time and could not help but have an affair with the guard, she raised the corners of her beautiful lips. The opportunity had come!
