Elder Hua stared at Jiang Si, his mood fluctuating.

She saw determination in the other's eyes.

Elder Hua couldn't help but think of Jiang Si's performance in Wu Miao.

This is a person who can argue with the Great Elder and even dares to threaten the Great Elder, let alone her?

After struggling for a while, Elder Hua chose to compromise.

"Yes, your queen mother is one of ours."

Jiang Si's eyes flickered, and he clenched his hands slightly on his knees, but his tone remained calm: "Who is the Queen Mother? What is her relationship with my grandmother?"

Elder Hua spoke, and then felt a little regretful.

She should have reported such an important matter to the Great Elder first. Why did she tell it without holding back?

"Elder Hua, don't you want to talk about it again?" Jiang Si placed his hand on the tea table with a cold expression.

Elder Hua glanced at the teacup in Jiang Si's hand and had a strange thought: If she didn't say anything, would the saint splash her with tea?

A saint could definitely do such a thing!

Taking a deep breath, Elder Hua said resignedly, "Saint, please be patient and listen to me. The Queen Mother was originally an ordinary Wu Miao girl. Because her age and appearance were somewhat similar to the future Crown Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was chosen to replace the future Crown Princess. And your grandmother was good at the art of disguise and imitation, and she was the executor of this plan..."

As Elder Hua continued to narrate, Jiang Si's understanding of the past events became clearer and clearer, and it was almost the same as their speculations.

For some reason, Wu Miao needed to place their own people in the most honorable place of Da Zhou, and after considering many aspects, they chose the then future Crown Princess. So Asan's grandmother was ordered to come to Da Zhou, and through the old lady of Yining Marquis, she came into contact with the future Crown Princess. After a while, she became familiar with the future Crown Princess's words and deeds, and then taught these to the Wu Miao girl who had some similar external conditions to the future Crown Princess, thus using Li as a substitute.

The plan is bold, but not difficult to achieve.

A noblewoman who was about to be married off would not have much contact with her family. After the Queen Mother was replaced, she would not be found to be abnormal as long as she was careful in her words and actions. Even if someone found something wrong with the Queen Mother, who would tell them? When the Queen Mother entered the palace, no one would be able to notice the changes.

This plan was perfect, except for one point: the old lady of Marquis Yining was a close friend of the real empress dowager and knew her better than the empress dowager's family.

Women's intuition is often sharp.

Jiang Si was glad that the old lady of Marquis Yining kept her doubts to herself and did not question them, otherwise she would have probably lost her life in confusion.

"Since my real grandmother came to the Great Zhou with an important mission to carry out the plan of replacing the dead with a ghost, why would she fall in love with a man from the Great Zhou?"

Elder Hua's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed, "The Saint is already a married woman, don't you understand that the love between men and women is the most irresistible thing in this world?"

Jiang Si was stumped for a moment.

She had to admit that what Elder Hua said made sense.

If she had been more rational, she and A-Jian would not have continued their relationship.

That's true of her, and perhaps of the grandmother, too.

However, Jiang Si still had doubts about this.

If the grandmother and the Zhou man were simply in love, why did she leave in a hurry the next day after giving birth to a daughter? And why did she only take one daughter away and leave the other behind?

Elder Hua hesitated and said, "Perhaps she can't take two babies on a long journey by herself."

Jiang Si looked at Elder Hua with a half-smile: "Grandmother, since you came here on orders, is there no one from the tribe helping you secretly?"

Elder Hua was stunned by the question and said dryly, "I don't know about that. I had no idea about what happened back then. It was only by chance that I came into contact with you, and the Great Elder revealed this to me."

"So the Queen Mother is just an ordinary Wu Miao woman. Is she proficient in Wu Miao magic?"

"Just like most Wu Miao girls, they only know the basics."

Jiang Si's eyebrows moved.

In this way, the Queen Mother is not actually a core figure of Wu Miao, but exists as a chess piece.

A pawn to become the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Jiang seemed to have a flash of inspiration and vaguely grasped something, but when he thought about it more carefully, there was no trace of it.

"Does Elder Hua know the reason why Li Dai Tao Jiang was killed?"

Elder Hua looked around and said, "Now that the Saint knows that the Queen Mother is a Wu Miao, what are your plans?"

Jiang Si was silent for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "If you have to choose between me and the Queen Mother, what do you think the Great Elder will choose?"

Elder Hua was stunned.

Although she was not the great elder, she knew the answer without a doubt: the Saint was naturally more important.

No matter how far a chess piece moves, it is still a chess piece. How can it be compared with the saint?

"The prince has now become the crown prince. Elder Hua, have you heard about this?"

Elder Hua nodded.

Jiang Si's expression turned cold. "The Queen Mother wants to put the new Crown Prince to death. The Crown Prince and I are married. If something happens to the Crown Prince, how can I stay out of it? In the end, the Great Elder will probably have to choose between me and the Queen Mother."

"This is impossible!" Elder Hua blurted out.

Jiang Si said mockingly, "Yes, what the Queen Mother did contradicts what the Great Elder told me. Since the Seventh Son of the Dragon was the one who brought the dawn to Wu Miao, why would the Queen Mother, a Wu Miao woman, harm Ah Zhen?"

Elder Hua looked confused for a moment.

Jiang Si's eyes were deep as he asked word by word, "Will the chess piece always be obedient?"

Elder Hua's face suddenly changed.

"Is the Li Dai Tao Jiang plan related to the other two hexagrams?" Jiang Si asked again.

Elder Hua nodded, and after coming to his senses, he said solemnly, "Saint Lady Ice and Snow is very smart, but I don't know what those two hexagrams mean. Even if I knew, I can't tell you without the permission of the Great Elder. I hope you can understand."

This is her bottom line. Even if the saint really throws tea at her, she will not compromise.

Jiang Si put the Saint Maiden Order into Elder Hua's hand, and at the same time, a letter appeared: "Then I'll trouble Elder Hua to pass this letter to the Great Elder. I'll wait for the Great Elder's choice."

Elder Hua held the Saint's Order and felt it was heavy as if it weighed a thousand pounds. After a long time, he nodded.

Jiang Si raised his lips and said, "Ah Man, send the guests out."

After seeing off Elder Hua, Jiang Si called Yu Jin and told him what he had learned.

"It will take some time for the letter to reach the Great Elder, and it is unknown what the Great Elder will do..."

Yu Jin saw that Jiang Si had a hint of uneasiness on her face, and patted the back of her hand in comfort: "The Queen Mother just plotted against me at the enthronement ceremony. Seeing how cautious she was in plotting against Princess Fuqing, she will at least choose to lie low before we move into the East Palace. Don't worry too much, we will just deal with it as it comes."

Thinking about the Queen Mother, Yu Jin said coldly: "The Queen Mother is a fox who hides her tail deeply. I am not afraid that she will not take action at this time. I am afraid that she will shrink back and quietly serve as the Queen Mother from now on. That will make us helpless."

There is always a reason to do more and make more mistakes.

Just as Jiang Si was waiting for a reply from the Great Elder, a survey was placed in front of Jinlinwei Commander Han Ran, which made him tremble with fear.

The wife of Zhu Duohuan, the spiritual director of the Five Senses, was actually born in a charity.
