The dog man used the beauty trap, and Qiao Yu couldn't help but be led away by his nose:
"Lan'er believes it."
No way.
There were constant wars on the border. Although Yan Fu didn't want to let the Xue family lead troops to fight again, there was no one else available except General Xue Zuo.
Although Su Yu regained the support of Yan Fu, he had just entered the court and was not very experienced in the world. Even if he was well-known for his literary and military skills, he could not win the support of the people.
Yan Fu had no choice but to hand over the military power back to General Xue Zuo, but Su Yu was assigned as the deputy military advisor this time, which was considered to be a power of some importance.
Empress Dowager Xue also saw some clues from this war, and asked Qiao Yu to whisper in her ear to make her plan more certain, so she called Yan Fu and Qiao Yu to have dinner together.
"The emperor has been busy with government affairs recently and has lost a lot of weight."
The hypocritical consideration in picking up food for her really makes one look like a loving mother and a filial son.
Empress Dowager Xue picked up dried bamboo shoots for Yan Fu, but as a "mother", Empress Dowager Xue had no idea.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."
When Empress Dowager Xue saw that the other party had eaten the dish she had picked up, she said:
"The number of concubines in the harem has decreased. Apart from Lan'er, there is no one who is considerate. The emperor has been on the throne for several years, and none of these concubines are pregnant well."

"It was I who failed to protect the imperial concubine and her son."
Yan Fu also noticed the subtle movement. He picked up the fish with chopsticks, removed the bones, and put it into Qiao Yu's bowl, then typed back a sentence to Empress Dowager Xue.
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. It is my fault that I failed to live up to my expectations."
The emperor even took care of these small matters himself, and Empress Dowager Xue saw it all and made plans in her mind:
"I naturally know that it's not Lan'er's fault. The emperor doesn't often go to the harem. It's obvious that these concubines are not considerate and gentle enough. It's only natural that the emperor doesn't go."
"I have a niece. Although she's not as pretty as Lan'er, she's still lovely. The harem seems lonely with so few concubines. Why not bring my niece in? What do you think, Your Majesty?"
