She watched for a long time before reacting. By this time, Concubine Song had already run away. She was furious and said, "Empress, you are siding with Concubine Song!"
Su Man said seriously, "I am worried that my sister's behavior is too wild and will affect her image."
"Ahem."
Concubine Li straightened her clothes and looked like a fairy again. "Oh, I got carried away just now. Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."
Tao Yuan: Tsk, the Queen really has Concubine Li under her control.
The concubines were chasing each other in front, while Su Man and Concubine Li were walking slowly behind.
"I heard that General Jiang stood up for you in the court today?"
Concubine Li raised her chin and said, "The emperor is so heartless and disloyal. How can my father and brother tolerate this?"
Su Man's face was filled with worry. "Since you know that the emperor is heartless, you should know that the emperor will definitely be dissatisfied if General Jiang publicly embarrasses him."
Concubine Li was unconcerned. "If you are dissatisfied, then so be it. My Jiang family has been military commanders for generations, loyal to our country. Our achievements were earned through blood and sweat. Naturally, we don't need to care about others' feelings."
Seeing Concubine Li like this, Su Man sighed inwardly. However, Murong Hong had just ascended the throne and was always courteous to the court officials. Even when General Jiang embarrassed him today, he didn't lose his temper, which made people feel completely unprepared.
Concubine Li couldn't understand, but Su Man, who had witnessed the downfall of the Gu family, understood everything clearly. Disrespecting her was a minor matter, but it would be disastrous if Murong Hong suspected the Jiang family of rebellion.
-
That night, when Su Man and her sisters returned to Kunning Palace after having fun, they received news from the Gu family.
Recently, the Gu family has been fighting the King of Beiping to the death, but secretly they are trying to win over people who can be used in the court.
Prime Minister Gu had sent a message this time, saying that the generals were dissatisfied with the Emperor's poor treatment of Concubine Li. If the Emperor did something similar again, their allies would increase.
To put it simply, it means letting Murong Hong commit more deaths.
Su Man burned the letter and thought secretly.
This incident made her re-examine Murong Hong's feelings for Shu Guiren.
Originally, she thought Murong Hong was heartless and would not care too much about Shu Guiren, but now it seems that as long as one is a human being, one cannot let go of feelings and as long as one is a human being, one will make mistakes.
Just as Su Man was thinking about it, a eunuch came in to report that the emperor was staying at Concubine Li's place today.
"Okay, I understand."
Tao Yuan asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, aren't you surprised?"
After confirming that only ashes remained of the letter, Suman closed the lid of the incense burner.
"The Jiang family has been a military family for generations, and half of the military commanders in the court are led by them. So even if the emperor is offended, he will go to appease him."
Tao Yuan thought for a long time before saying, "Although Your Majesty often worried about palace affairs before, it was only limited to the harem. But now, every time Your Majesty talks about the harem, she always links it to the previous dynasty."
"yes."
Su Man said seriously, "The harem is a microcosm of the previous dynasty. Only by knowing which way the wind blows can we use it to our advantage."
