Bei Lingyao thought that the Queen Mother would mention the Yang family's affairs when she returned to the palace, but the Queen Mother entered the small Buddhist temple and never came out again.
Emperor Jiahe breathed a sigh of relief. They were a close mother and son, and he didn't want the affairs of the Yang family to affect their relationship.
But Emperor Jiahe became increasingly disappointed with the Yang family.
Even after my grandfather had a stroke and retired, the Yang family's descendants and disciples were spread throughout the court and the country.
The official positions of the Yang family members were blocked by Emperor Jiahe, and none of them reached the second rank or above, but there were quite a few who reached the third and fourth ranks.
Bei Lingyao felt that the Yang family had been spoiled, or rather, that with Emperor Fu Jiahe and the Empress Dowager successfully ascending to the throne, the Yang family had suddenly become rich and had obtained too much too easily.
I think Emperor Jiahe and the Empress Dowager should indulge them all their lives and let them have whatever they want.
If the Yang family could calm down, not be so eager for quick success and instant benefits and pressure Emperor Jiahe and the Empress Dowager, and maintain good family relationships, they could get more.
After the Empress Dowager's death, Emperor Jiahe will definitely take care of the Yang family's children.
When Emperor Jiahe passes away, his heir will take care of the children of the Yang family.
Unfortunately, the Yang family did not understand this.
He wanted all the Yang family members to be promoted to middle and upper-level officials, and wanted the Yang family to continue to lead all officials.
The prince who wants the throne and the bloodline of the Yang family can't wait to be tied to the crown prince, the next heir.
Her son is only one month old.
The Yang family is simply insane.
However, after Prime Minister Yang had a stroke and died, the Empress Dowager entered the small Buddhist temple, and the entire Yang family became quiet.
It was Concubine Shu who made paper dolls for Bei Lingyao in the harem every day.
Bei Lingyao was simply stunned.
I can’t imagine how bold Concubine Shu is, actually daring to use witchcraft in the harem.
This is because they think they will not be discovered, so they are fearless.
It has to be said that the Yang family has indeed turned Concubine Shu's palace into an iron barrel.
But, that was only in the past.
Now the Yang family is seeking medical treatment for Duke Cheng'en, who was formerly Prime Minister Yang, and Yang Chengye wants to inherit the position of Duke. He does not dare to kill his father, but hopes that Duke Cheng'en will give up his title and he will inherit it.
But now Lord Cheng'en has suffered a stroke and cannot speak, and the Empress Dowager has entered the small Buddhist temple and has not come out.
Duke Cheng'en had three legitimate sons and eight illegitimate sons. He was dissatisfied when he saw that Crown Prince Yang Chengye was now eager to inherit the title of Duke Cheng'en.
Yang Chengye's second brother was on good terms with Kang Guogong, so he naturally had ideas about the title and was quite dissatisfied with his elder brother Yang Chengye.
He felt that his elder brother became the crown prince only because he was the eldest son, and was pushed to the position of the third-rank Dali Temple Minister by family resources, but was demoted.
I passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi through hard work, but no matter how hard I tried over the years, I was always inferior to my elder brother.
Even if his elder brother was demoted to the fourth rank of Minister of the Ministry of Rites, it was still higher than his own fourth rank as a prefect.
Since he was a child, his elder brother has been able to be superior without any effort. No matter how hard he tries, he can only look up to his elder brother.
Just because he is not his father's eldest son.
And now my father has suffered a stroke, and it was all caused by my eldest brother.
If his sister-in-law had not harmed his daughter, his daughter would not have been as useless as Concubine Shu after entering the palace.
The eldest wife used the best resources of the Cheng'en Mansion, but ended up ruining it like this, which disappointed the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's nephew.
Thinking of this, the second master of Cheng'en Mansion became more eager to fight for the title.
But it was not easy for him to deprive his elder brother of the position of crown prince.
The Yang family also does not allow family members to harm each other.
Although Duke Kangguo has a close relationship with the second cousin of Duke Cheng'en, he is also the eldest son and will definitely not help the second cousin of Duke Cheng'en to harm the crown prince Yang Chengye.
The second master, Duke Cheng'en, immediately thought of the concubine in the palace. If the concubine did something bad and made the emperor dislike her, it would implicate the eldest brother, the crown prince.
In addition, the murder of his son is a stain that the eldest brother cannot erase.
As the second master of the Cheng'en Mansion, he has never offended the emperor's nephew, so the empress dowager will definitely favor him.
Thinking of this, the second master of Cheng'en Mansion immediately contacted the spies he had recruited in the palace to incite Concubine Shu.
Fortunately, when the Yang family was training spies, he had a trick up his sleeve and had his own people in the palace.
Concubine Shu had been cursing Bei Lingyao every day, but everyone in the palace advised her not to act rashly, which made Concubine Shu very angry.
She had always wanted her family to help her get rid of Concubine Zhuang. She took the prince in when he was young to raise him, but she didn't expect that when her grandfather got into trouble, her family didn't react at all. They also detained her and prevented her from competing with Concubine Zhuang.
This was secretly instigated by her second uncle's people, and Concubine Shu immediately became excited.
"If you have any good ideas, as long as they are accomplished, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Your Majesty, why not provoke the Empress to take action? As long as the Empress and Concubine Zhuang confront each other, Your Majesty will be able to reap the benefits."
Concubine Shu glared angrily, "If the Queen was so easily persuaded, I wouldn't need your advice."
She had been hoping that the Queen would take action, but the Queen, like a tortoise, had been hiding in Kunning Palace and making no movement.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui worked diligently in managing the harem, but they also looked like they were always trying to find something to hold against her, which made Concubine Shu very angry.
Now, most of the concubines in the harem have become obedient after their families were punished by Emperor Jiahe.
But there are always those who are unwilling to accept this, and Concubine Shu is one of them.
But she also knew that others would not easily join forces with her, and might even stab her in the back.
"Well, you can give me some advice on how to kill Concubine Zhuang and pin the blame on the Queen. This will kill two birds with one stone, and I can also raise the Crown Prince."
When Concubine Shu thought of this, her heart immediately became hot.
"My Lady, this..."
Shufei's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she immediately treated the inconspicuous palace maid in front of her as her confidant.
Bei Lingyao watched all this with amusement. Concubine Shu was such a bad person. If she had not been born in the Yang family and had the protection of the Yang family, she would have died countless times.
But now the second master of the Cheng'en Mansion has obviously developed ulterior motives and an internal conflict has occurred. Concubine Shu is in trouble.
With Concubine Shu's instructions, the Yang family's informant went to incite the Queen's palace maids.
In Kunning Palace, the Queen curled her lips and said, "Shufei can't wait any longer."
"My Lady, what should we do?"
"Of course, they are using the Yang family's manpower to cooperate with them. This palace knows nothing."
Compared with Concubine Shu, the Queen is much smarter, otherwise she would not be able to withstand the Yang family and all the concubines.
"But since we're going to make a move, bring in Imperial Concubine Jing, Imperial Concubine Hui, Imperial Concubine De, and Imperial Concubine Xian. Once they've eliminated Imperial Concubine Zhuang, the Emperor can then take them all out, and I, the Empress, will be the ultimate winner."
"Join forces?"
Concubine Jing and the three concubines Hui, De and Xian were all moved.
So what if Concubine Zhuang has the Emperor's protection? Now that the Empress Dowager is not in charge, the power of the palace is in the hands of Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui.
If they joined forces with the Empress and Consort Shu to get rid of Consort Zhuang, even if they did not raise the Crown Prince, as long as the Emperor expanded his harem, they would have the opportunity to raise their own children.
So all the concubines stood in a line invisibly.
So the concubines took action, and Bei Lingyao also saw the huge network of relationships among several concubines.
