Chapter 494 There is never a shortage of smart people in the palace
"Oh, who's being restless again?" Fushou's interest piqued upon hearing her mother say this, her eyes full of interest. Even when Funing leaned against the bed, the Empress Dowager felt that her daughter was leaning a little straighter.
"You've grown up so much, but you haven't changed at all." The Queen Mother smiled and gently poked Fushou's head. She was still happy in her heart. Who wouldn't want a child to be carefree and never have to change?
Since the Empress Dowager had mentioned this, it seemed she was asking her daughter to use this information to repay the favor. A relationship like this can only last if it's reciprocated.
The Queen Mother first ordered the people around her in a serious tone: "All of you, step back!"
Fushou saw that everyone in the hall had left and looked at his mother curiously, "Who is it? Why are you so cautious?"
Although the servants in the palace had all left, the Empress Dowager, fearing eavesdroppers, cautiously lowered her voice and spoke, "That person in the palace! He made quite a few small moves during the mourning period. It's just that she has a good son, the prince, to pick up the pieces for her. Otherwise, Princess Funing would definitely have turned against him."
Who was the Empress Dowager? Even if she didn't have a son, she was still the last one to reach the throne. And she had been sitting on the throne of Empress for so many years, how could she not have some people of her own?
So, if the Queen didn't tell her about these methods, even the Holy Mother Queen Mother couldn't hide them. The two of them just didn't want to get involved, but they were not blind.
How could the person who truly won the palace fight sleep soundly without knowing anything?
"Who is that?" Fushou pointed in the direction of the Queen's chambers. She wasn't surprised, but she was quite surprised. Even the Prince Consort and Shui Xikang looked up from their fruit peelings in surprise.
The Queen Mother nodded. She looked at her surprised daughter and her family of three with amusement, thinking that these three people thought too highly of others and she had to keep a closer eye on them in the future.
Fushou had no idea what this was all about. She looked at her mother with a look that said, "Mother, are you mistaken?" "That's impossible! Hasn't Funing always been from their lineage? And he's tied up so tightly!"
"You've been in a high position for too long, and you've become arrogant! You've started to play the game of if the king wants you to die, the minister has to die." After the empress dowager finished complaining, she told the three of them about the previous conflict between Princess Funing and the empress's lineage.
After hearing this big gossip, Fu Shou was puzzled. "In this matter, Funing was quite lenient! They were just two concubines."
"If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die." In the eyes of the queen, she and Fushou are no longer people from the same dimension!
Fu Shou pursed his lips, looking down on this kind of behavior of crossing the river and destroying the bridge. "Fu Ning knows nothing, it's easy for her to suffer losses! Mother..."
"Alright, I've already told you. Didn't I ask you to tell Funing? When you fainted in front of your father's spirit, Funing was the only one willing to step forward to maintain order and get the imperial physician to come in quickly to save you. I, Queen Mother, accept this favor."
The Empress Dowager had heard from the Emperor what Fu Ning's confidence came from, and it would be great if her daughter could be on good terms with Fu Ning.
"Mother, you are so kind!" When Fushou heard her mother say this, she naturally pulled her mother's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
Fushou's family was happy, but the Queen's was not happy. The reason was that Yang Chengchen gave the evidence of the Queen's actions to the Prince, and the Prince gave it directly to the Emperor.
It wasn't that the Crown Prince was unfilial, he just felt that his mother wouldn't listen to him. If she had listened to him, this wouldn't have happened. The Crown Prince knew that his mother felt that with the death of the Emperor's grandfather, Aunt Funing's support had fallen!
Rather than letting my mother do something more outrageous in the future, it is better to let my father take care of it now while there are only signs of it!
The Emperor took what he had in his hand and simply said, "He knows!"
The prince was relieved to see that his father was willing to intervene. As long as he and his brother were there, his mother wouldn't have a hard time. But if she really hurt Aunt Funing, he couldn't guarantee it.
The main thing is that Aunt Funing really doesn't get involved in Yuanjing's mess. He doesn't understand why his mother has to drag her down! Could it be that she feels that her life has become easier and she wants to find something to do?
The emperor certainly didn't show any emotion in front of the prince, but once the prince finished reading the memorial and left, he angrily threw his pen down. He really hated this kind of fool who wouldn't give in even though he was clearly wrong.
He doted on the Crown Prince and Yang Chengchen so much because he found his other sons to be self-righteous fools. He never expected that the Queen would also become arrogant.
So after finding out the Queen's itinerary that day, he took the evidence and went straight to the Queen.
When the Queen heard that the Emperor had arrived, she was quite happy. She immediately fixed her makeup and happily went to greet him.
"Your Majesty, I greet you. How come you have time to come to my place during the day?" The queen smiled and stood up to hold the emperor's hand as she did in the past.
The emperor avoided the queen's hand and walked straight into the hall.
The queen also noticed that the emperor was angry, so she quickly trotted in.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The queen did not realize that she had gotten into trouble at this time.
After the emperor sat down, he threw the evidence in the queen's face and said, "Tell me! What's going on?"
The Emperor still wanted to give the Queen a chance to explain herself. After all, although he had always been unfaithful, he actually respected and trusted the Queen. He was very willing to give the Queen such a chance.
Seeing that the emperor was so angry, the queen hurriedly picked it up and looked at it. The more she looked at it, the heavier her heart became.
"Your Majesty, I simply wanted to teach Funing a lesson. I didn't intend to do anything to her." The Queen admitted this directly because she believed that a new emperor appoints new ministers. Funing wasn't a true member of the royal family, but merely a favorite of the retired emperor. Funing had no real relationship with the current emperor.
The queen was certain that the emperor would not treat her, the queen and the prince's biological mother, in any way just because of a princess from another family.
The emperor acted as if he had just met his queen today. She only remembered grudges and not gratitude, which frightened him as an emperor. "Oh, everyone has the right to say that, except you. Do you still remember where Yang Chengchen grew up?
Do you remember when the fight for the throne was at its most intense, how we carefully begged Funing to protect your youngest son at the critical moment? Do you still have a conscience?
"I don't deny that Funing has helped us a lot, but we are the emperor and Funing is the minister. Isn't this what a minister should do? If she had fulfilled her duties as a minister, she shouldn't have dared to challenge my mother's family."
In the past, the queen wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing, but now she can say it with a clear conscience. So having no rivals in the harem is actually quite scary.
