Then, the Queen took a deep breath: "Your Majesty——"
"Isn't it the queen's job to take concubines? Do I still need to worry about these trivial matters? Then why do I need you as the queen?" The Dark Emperor glared at the queen.
The queen almost couldn't breathe!
How can this be possible!
But the Dark Emperor had already waved his hand: "You can go now."
Gone? Just sent away like that? The queen wanted to cry but had no tears. She cursed the emperor in her heart for being shameless. He was so old but still had his eyes on a young girl.
However, she still managed a forced smile and bowed to the Dark Emperor: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave... I will go and tell Miss Su--"
"Don't be too anxious. Choose a suitable opportunity to talk slowly." The Dark Emperor felt a headache when he thought of Su Luo's temper.
The queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
You don't have to say it right away. There's still room for maneuver.
After the queen left, she returned to her Zixia Palace.
Nanny Lai Sun, who was always by the Queen's side, followed the Queen all the time, but only the Dark Emperor and the Queen knew what happened in the Imperial Study.
Seeing the Empress sitting at the table in a daze, looking very sad, Nanny Sun quickly made a cup of hot tea and said with concern, "Your Majesty, please have a cup of hot tea first and take some time to recover. Doesn't the Crown Prince have Miss Su? She will definitely be able to cure him."
"Madam, this is not the Crown Prince's business." The Queen, with a mournful face, pulled Madam Sun aside and complained, "His Majesty wants Miss Nasu to be his concubine."
Although Nanny Sun was shocked, she quickly figured it out. She smiled bitterly and said, "Empress, it's understandable that His Majesty would be attracted to Miss Su, given her beauty..."
"And..." Nanny Sun smiled bitterly, "Didn't the Crown Prince also take a fancy to her? That face, what man wouldn't like?"
The Queen thought of Su Luo's face, and a glint of anger flashed in her eyes: "That is a face that brings disaster to the country and the people! Beauty is the root of disaster!"
Nanny Sun smiled bitterly. Bringing disaster to the country and the people? They really have the capital to do so.
"If Su Luo were to become my concubine—" the Queen shook her head. "You've seen it too, Mammy. She's disrespectful to me. She's constantly arguing with me, embarrassing me. How can I be the Queen? Add to that her face! How can I hold onto the position of Queen? Add to that the Crown Prince... Do you think he'll give up? What's going on?"
"Empress, actually..." Nanny Sun's eyes flashed with a faint smile: "Actually, you are overthinking things."
"Things are just so complicated."
"Not really." There was a reason why Nanny Sun was able to climb up from a little maid to become the most trusted and relied-upon person around the Queen.
She smiled sinisterly, "We don't need to attack with all our might. We just need to use the opponent's force to counter theirs."
"Use the opponent's force against you?" The Queen frowned.
"Indeed." Nanny Sun looked at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, you are in the middle of this situation, so you are confused, but in fact, this matter is not difficult to resolve. Doesn't Your Majesty want to take a concubine? Who will bear the brunt of the loss? Not you, nor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Concubine Meng."
The queen's eyes lit up.
Indeed, if what Nanny Sun said was true, the Queen was in the middle of the situation and was too concerned. Otherwise, with her many years of control over the harem, she wouldn't have needed Nanny Sun to point this out.
"Madame Sun, please continue." A hint of excitement appeared in the queen's eyes.
Nanny Sun nodded and said, "Empress, the one favored by His Majesty right now is Concubine Meng.
