Early in the morning, Xu Jinyi dressed up and immediately called the secret guards.
"Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated the Prime Minister's residence, and have found nothing amiss."
Xu Jinyi knew that things were not that simple.
His Majesty promised to send someone to investigate her mother's matter, but the results were not satisfactory.
It turned out that the maids and servants who were sold were fake and were all dealt with secretly.
All that is certain now is that her mother's death was indeed suspicious, but no one knows whether she was imprisoned or where she was imprisoned.
After all, it happened so many years ago and all the people involved in the incident have been killed, making it difficult to investigate.
"Keep an eye on the Prime Minister and see if he frequently goes in and out of certain places. If you find anything amiss, be sure to tell me immediately."
"yes."
Su Mian walked in from outside: "Your Majesty, breakfast is ready, the Prime Minister and the others are waiting."
The Prime Minister has been on leave for three days, and now that Xu Jinyi is the Queen, he naturally has to wait for her to arrive before he can have breakfast.
Of course Xu Jinyi could also order someone to bring it to his yard, but why bother?
Her purpose was to make them unhappy.
The Prime Minister and Mrs. Wu had gloomy faces and waited for a long time before Xu Jinyi appeared.
Wu didn't want to come, but she had no reason to. If she didn't come, she was afraid that Xu Jinyi would say that she had some objection to her being the queen, so she didn't want to have dinner with her.
This gave her an excuse to punish her.
So even if she felt aggrieved, she had to endure it and face it with a smile.
The Prime Minister stood up with a sullen face, walked to Xu Jinyi and bowed: "Your humble servant pays homage to the Empress, may the Empress be blessed with good health."
Mrs. Wu also followed him and bowed.
Wu was very angry. She never thought that one day she would have to bow down to the lowly girl she raised.
You even have to behave according to her mood.
If she had known this day would come, she should have been more ruthless and sent this girl to those old ministers when she was ten years old and just started to show her potential.
But she did something wrong. She actually sent that bitch's daughter to the emperor in a clean condition.
How can she be clean!
Xu Jinyi curled her lips and stared at Wu's face for a long time before she spoke: "Get up."
"Where's Xu Youran? What's wrong? Don't you like me, the Queen?"
"To answer the Queen, Your Majesty, Youran's injury is quite serious. The doctor said she needs to stay in bed and rest, so she didn't come out for dinner." Mrs. Wu said through gritted teeth.
"Oh? This is still my fault?"
"I dare not."
Seeing the two people's expressions of having no appetite, Xu Jinyi's appetite was actually increased.
"Isn't it true that there's meat in the Prime Minister's breakfast? I've been a vegetarian for over a decade and even told the Emperor that the court's salary is too low and we can't even afford to eat meat at home."
"Your Majesty was greatly alarmed upon hearing this, and was perhaps concerned that you, father, might have spent your own salary on your work for the court."
"He said he wanted to check carefully to see how much his father had lost so he could return it to you double."
"Your Majesty is so good to me." Xu Jinyi sighed.
Hearing these words, the Prime Minister broke out in a cold sweat and almost fell down from his chair.
"It's all your father's fault. I handed over the reins of the family to your mother over the years and didn't pay much attention to you. I had no idea about this matter."
"You've caused the Empress to suffer for so many years. Father will now take the key to the family power back and give it to you, Concubine He, to manage."
In fact, besides Wu, there are two other concubines in the prime minister's mansion.
However, Wu was the most powerful, and the other two concubines were oppressed like quails.
Most of them were sent to farms outside the capital.
It can be said that it is the same whether these two concubines exist or not.
Then, in front of Xu Jinyi, he ordered the housekeeper to go to the farm and bring back the two concubines.
And from then on, Wu was only allowed to eat vegetarian meals.
After giving the order, he said to Xu Jinyi in a lapdog manner: "Your Majesty, do you think this is okay? I'd like you to explain to His Majesty, so I won't bother you with more people to investigate."
Xu Jinyi's expression was indifferent, and nothing could be seen. "Your Majesty's decision is not something I can decide."
The Prime Minister choked and his face suddenly turned ugly.
He glanced at her and saw that there were only two maids beside her, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace had gone to have breakfast, so he spoke with a stern face.
"Your Highness, although you are now the Empress, you still need the support of your natal family while in the harem. If your natal family is not in power, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to you, right?"
Xu Jinyi put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed to him by Su Mian, and wiped the corners of his mouth.
Looking at her father's gloomy face, she raised her eyebrows: "My mother's support? Father, are you kidding?"
"If my family gains power, the one who benefits will not be me, but those who have bullied me since childhood."
"Don't say such nonsense as my mother's family is the support behind me. Would you believe it if I told you that?"
"If I don't have power, I'm afraid that strangers from my mother's family will be even more ruthless, and they can't wait to trample on my flesh and blood to get higher."
"Besides, if anything happened to me, you would definitely cut ties with me immediately. How could you say you would stand by me? How could that be possible?"
The Prime Minister was so angry that his hands were shaking. It was obvious that his daughter had turned away from her family. Even if she became the Queen, he could not expect her to help the family.
Now I hate my family even more.
The Prime Minister frowned tightly, not knowing how to break this deadlock.
Having a queen in the family is a great joyous event, but they went too far before and offended someone greatly.
Now he only regretted why it was his daughter who became the queen.
"Don't you care about your reputation? If something happens to your mother's family, how will others look at you? Can you stand up in the harem?" Prime Minister Xu stared at Xu Jinyi with sharp eyes.
"Don't worry about that, father. Since my family has never given me any warmth, don't even think about leveraging my influence to gain any benefits."
Xu Jinyi had a faint smile on his face and looked at his father like a winner.
After what she had experienced in her previous life, she would not be foolish enough to believe her father's lies.
During the ten years she spent with her brother as a spirit, she had already seen clearly what kind of person her father was.
In his heart, apart from the pair of children born to Wu, she and her brother had no place in his heart at all.
As soon as his brother got into trouble in his previous life, he immediately expelled him from the family tree and severed all ties with him.
His brother was his eldest son and he was still like this, let alone her.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Su Mian asked.
"I heard that my sister is so injured that she can't even get out of bed. Shouldn't I go visit her?"
Xu Youran really couldn't get out of bed. Last night, because of the wound, she had a high fever and even started talking nonsense.
When I woke up today, I felt much more haggard.
Not to mention getting out of bed, the wound on his back hurt even without touching it, and he was grimacing and gasping for breath.
I could only eat breakfast lying down.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
When Xu Youran heard the noise outside, her expression changed immediately and she clenched the pillow tightly.
I know in my heart that the person who comes has no good intentions.
