"Just this once, the Emperor won't find out," said the Queen Mother.
Marquis Wu'an was so stunned that he fell naked to the ground. He looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief.
The Queen Mother also felt a little guilty.
"I have really lost my mind today..." She stood up, half-pulled up her veil, and said with a stiff face.
Marquis Wu'an also stood up and returned to the couch. He seemed completely oblivious to the empress dowager's embarrassment as he sat naked across from her. He lowered his eyes and stared at her, "Is that all? The emperor doesn't respect you."
"He is your biological son, but when it comes to being close to you, he is not even as close as Niao Niao."
"Niao Niao often told me that the Queen Mother treated her well and that she was like her mother."
"If Niao Niao gave birth to the emperor's child, the child would definitely treat cousin like Niao Niao did."
She hadn't been this close to anyone for a long time, so the Queen Mother's reaction was a little slow. She said, "You think I haven't thought about it, but Niao Niao is in poor health."
Marquis Wu'an said, "Mr. Cheng is short-sighted and has only found mediocre doctors. Niao Niao is not beyond help, it just takes time."
"If Niao Niao has a child, I will raise him under my cousin's lap. If the child looks like Niao Niao, he will definitely look like my cousin and will be closer to her."
The Queen Mother said, "But even if she did something like that, the Emperor wouldn't still want her."
Marquis Wu'an said solemnly, "If the emperor doesn't want the child himself, then we can find a way to make him want it. As long as we have a child, it will be fine."
"As long as the emperor is interested in women, this is possible."
The Queen Mother was unsure, "According to the Emperor, he is only interested in Jiang Yi."
"Impossible." Wu Anhou said, "There is no man who is only interested in one woman."
The Queen Mother looked at him intently.
Marquis Wu'an then added, "Even if your heart is like this, your body is not under your control. For example, the late emperor also loved my cousin very much, but he also had other concubines."
"You have a point." The Queen Mother thought: "Then let Concubine Shu try it first."
Marquis Wu'an said, "That's right. Let Concubine Shu try first. When Niao Niao recovers, let her come. Once Niao Niao has a child, my cousin will have someone to rely on, and I can rest assured."
"It's just that Niao Niao still needs my cousin to take care of her."
Both the Empress Dowager and the Marquis of Wu'an knew only that Gu Niaoniao had been demoted, but they did not know that Gu Niaoniao was still under the emperor's house arrest.
"This is easy," said the Queen Mother, agreeing with Marquis Wu'an's idea.
The empress dowager thought about it and felt that the emperor was indeed not very respectful to her, and she needed someone to rely on. Marquis Wu'an held military power and was deeply in love with her.
Thinking of what he had just said about Cheng being pretty like her, a hint of tenderness appeared on her face.
After leaving Renshou Palace, the affectionate look on Marquis Wu'an's face was gone, and his face was full of coldness.
The humiliation of having his beloved taken away by the late emperor always lingered in his heart. At that time, Marquis Wu'an realized the benefits of power.
So he spent several years in the northern border, making great achievements, but not to protect the Pei family's territory.
As long as Niao Niao becomes pregnant, he will support his grandson to become emperor.
By then, the Pei family's kingdom will be in his pocket.
Thinking of this, Marquis Wu'an quickened his pace.
The Empress Dowager took a short rest and then called Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu was outspoken and quick-witted. As soon as she entered Renshou Palace, she spoke bluntly, "I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. Why is there an unusual smell in your palace? Did you use any spices again?"
The Queen Mother felt a little guilty, but she was also lucky that Concubine Shu had never experienced love affairs, so she didn't know much about it. She coughed and said, "It's not important."
"The important thing is that the emperor is different now. Doesn't Concubine Shu have any other ideas?"
"As a woman in this palace, we must eventually have a son."
Concubine Shu was immediately excited, "Then please talk to the emperor and ask him to come sit with me."
There was no hope in the past, and everyone assumed that the emperor was not capable.
But now that Jiang Yi is here, Concubine Shu is finally ready to make a move.
But the emperor always had a cold face, and Concubine Shu was also afraid. When she heard the empress dowager mention it, she could not help but put all her hopes on the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother's words are useless!
The emperor didn't like being controlled by others in the harem, and neither did the empress dowager.
"It's hard for me to talk about this kind of thing. You won't go to the emperor in person. Only if you take the initiative will you have a chance."
Concubine Shu said: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"
The Queen Mother was quite speechless and said, "Your mind is focused on eating all day long. What else can you think about? Eat, eat, eat. You are almost eating like a pig."
Concubine Shu complained, "This is the only fun thing in this palace."
The Queen Mother also thought that the reason she wanted to use Concubine Shu was because Concubine Shu was a little stupid.
If she weren't stupid, it would be difficult to take advantage of her.
After Concubine Shu returned to her palace, she met the Queen.
The Empress and the Empress Dowager had the same idea. As the Emperor's impotence disappeared, everyone was ready to make a move.
But the emperor has always been cold in temperament and dislikes people who show off. He has been reluctant to say whether to favor concubines other than Jiang Yi. The queen also wants to take the initiative, but is afraid that the emperor will not hesitate, so she wants to let Shufei try first.
Others would not dare to do this, but under the instigation of the Empress Dowager and the Queen, Concubine Shu dared to do it.
There were undercurrents in the former dynasty and the harem, and Jiang Yi knew nothing about it, but he had some guesses in his mind.
She was imprisoned in this world by the emperor, and the conspiracies and tricks from the outside could not get in, so it didn't matter to her whether they existed or not.
She was just waiting, waiting for the day to leave the palace.
The emperor saw everything, including the affair between the empress dowager and Marquis Wu'an, as well as the queen's conspiracy, and he was happy to see it happen.
It's good that they are taking action, because only when they are taking action will mistakes be revealed.
On the second day, the emperor took Jiang Yi to visit Jiang Yuan at the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion.
Because the emperor had not told Wu'an Hou about this in advance, Wu'an Hou was very surprised, but he hurriedly asked his eldest son Gu An to lead Jiang Yi to Jiang Yuan's residence.
