Chapter 405 Killing Two Eagles with One Arrow
Qin Shushu drank the contraceptive medicine without even frowning, and did not mention a word about the incident that happened when she slept with Meilin that day.
Seeing that she was sensible, Xie Yu issued an edict that day to promote Qin Shushu from Jieyushi to Wanrong, a fifth-rank official.
Qin Shushu used the scar on her forehead and Merlin's bed to get a promotion.
This matter did not cause any waves. After all, Qin Shushu had been serving the Queen Mother these days, and everyone saw it.
In this way, it is not surprising that Qin Shushu became Wanrong.
Qin Shushu was promoted to Wanrong, and the Empress Dowager was very satisfied.
In the next few days, after Xie Yu left the court, he went to Zhonghe Palace.
However, Xie Yu was rejected every day.
Lin Junxue just said that she was not feeling well, and then left to avoid passing her illness to the emperor.
Xie Yu was not angry. He went there every day when he had time for several days.
Xie Yu's attitude angered many people in the palace.
A few days later, the Empress Dowager sent Nanny Wu to Zhonghe Palace to summon Lin Junxue to an audience.
After Lin Junxue came back from Ci'an Palace, she announced that her illness was caused by the increasingly cold winter.
The palace was busy and she was powerless, so she assigned some of the palace affairs to Concubine Mi.
Here, Lin Junxue issued an edict, and Xie Yu received the news in Taiwu Palace.
After hearing that it was Lin Junxue who went to Ci'an Palace and came back, he handed over the palace affairs in his hands, his face turned cold and he was very unhappy.
It must be something that the Queen Mother said that caused this. Xie Yu became more and more dissatisfied.
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue's face was ruddy, not even a bit sick.
The Queen Mother summoned her today, and hinted at her in every word that since she was not feeling well and it was the New Year, she should delegate the power over palace affairs.
This is to take advantage of her illness to take away her power.
Since the Queen Mother wanted it, Lin Junxue would fulfill her wish.
It’s just that power is sometimes a good thing, but sometimes it is a hot potato.
Xie Yu had been lowering himself to coax her these few days. Now, as soon as he went to Ci'an Palace, he received an imperial decree.
Given Xie Yu's suspicious mind, he would naturally suspect whether it was the Queen Mother who forced him to do so.
Of course, at this time, she should also add fuel to the fire to make the fire between mother and son even deeper.
Lin Junxue took a sip of tea slowly, called Danzhen, and whispered a few words to her.
Danzhen immediately went to Taiwu Palace to meet the emperor
"Your Majesty, the Queen asked me to come to Taiwu Palace to pass on a message. The Queen said that she hopes Your Majesty will not go to Zhonghe Palace these days. After the New Year, if Your Majesty is willing, you can come to Zhonghe Palace again. For the New Year arrangements, the Queen also asked the Emperor to order Concubine Mi to take care of it. Imperial Doctor Wu said that the Queen is not suitable for overwork, and the Queen wants to rest and recuperate in Zhonghe Palace."
Xie Yu said, "You said the Queen wouldn't let me go, and she doesn't want to show up during the New Year's Day?"
Danzhen knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is exactly what happened."
Xie Yu frowned, and a cold aura emanated from his body.
"Today, the Queen went to Ci'an Palace. What did the Queen Mother say to her? Just speak up."
Danzhen leaned over
"Your Majesty, I know you will ask about this, so I asked you to tell me. Please don't delve into it. Please have mercy on me, don't make it difficult for her, and don't let her have any more problems with you and the Queen Mother because of her."
As soon as this word comes out
What else does Xie Yu not understand? It must be something that the Queen Mother said that made Jun'er sad.
He doesn't even want to take care of palace affairs and doesn't even come out to preside over such an important festival.
The Queen Mother is really too soft on Jun'er and doesn't take her words to heart at all.
Xie Yu didn't ask any more questions and let Dan Zhen leave.
Doorway
Gao Cheng called Danzhen and asked her a few questions. Danzhen hesitated and said a few words before leaving.
Gao Cheng turned back to the hall
Xie Yu put down the memorial
"What did you find out?"
Gao Cheng leaned over
"Your Majesty, Danzhen didn't want to say it, but after I asked her again and again, she finally told me that today, the Queen Mother sent Nanny Wu to Zhonghe Palace to summon the Queen Mother to an audience. When the Queen Mother arrived at Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother didn't say anything at first. After drinking tea and eating cakes, the Queen Mother told the Queen Mother that if she was not feeling well, she should just rest and take care of herself, and that the government affairs in the palace should be divided up first."
Gao Cheng took a look at Xie Yu's expression and said quickly, "The Queen Mother must have good intentions and is also thinking about the Queen's health."
Xie Yu sneered, his expression unclear.
"For the Queen's good? My mother has never liked the Queen. Now, the Queen and I are having a quarrel, and my mother is anxious to divide the Queen's power. Go and convey my order. The Queen is not feeling well. If there is nothing else, no one in the harem is allowed to disturb her these days. Let Concubine Mi take over the palace affairs temporarily."
Gao Cheng agreed, saying that the emperor's edict was meant for the Empress Dowager to see.
Shenguang Palace
Concubine Mi took the imperial edict, but there was no trace of joy on her face.
After the eunuch who announced the decree left, Concubine Mi looked down at the imperial decree in her hand and said coldly:
"stupid"
The Queen Mother's move was not to seize the Queen's power, but to be plotted against by the Queen once again.
Today, the Queen just went to Ci'an Palace, and when she came back she issued this imperial decree, handing over the power in her hands.
Isn't it obvious that the Queen Mother said something that caused the Queen to act like this?
The emperor and the empress were having a quarrel, and the emperor had to lower himself to appease the empress every day.
But the queen controlled the emperor and never let him enter the palace, but the emperor did not get angry.
If the Queen Mother seizes the Queen's power at this time, the Emperor will naturally pity the Queen even more.
The Queen Mother is getting dumber as she gets older. She has been in a high position for so many years that she can't see the situation in the harem clearly.
What is the use of this temporary power?
To her, it's just a hot potato
During this period, she has been taking over the palace affairs temporarily and cannot make any mistakes, otherwise she will lose the emperor's trust.
The Queen's move not only dealt with the Queen Mother, but also dragged her into the water. How clever!
Ci'an Palace
Qin Shushu knelt on the ground and tapped the queen mother's legs
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is still filial to you. Look, the Emperor has issued an edict to temporarily hand over the power of the six palaces to Concubine Mi. The Empress does not show up during the New Year holidays. You are still the better one, Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother now trusts Qin Shushu very much
"This time, thanks to your intelligence, you knew that the emperor went to Meilin and waited in advance, so that the queen ran into you and the emperor. The queen was confused and had a quarrel with the emperor. Now, the queen has taken the initiative to hand over the power of the six palaces. She is sensible. You should make friends with Concubine Mi. Concubine Mi will not treat you unfairly."
Qin Shushu's eyes flashed and she responded obediently.
The Queen Mother continued, "You should hurry up these days. The quarrel between the Queen and the Emperor is your best chance. Try to get pregnant as soon as possible. I can also make more plans for you. Do you understand?"
Qin Shushu lowered her eyes, suppressed her inner hatred, and smiled.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Aunt Wu frowned and looked at Qin Shushu with a scrutinizing look.
"Shu Wanrong, allow me to ask you a question. How did you know that the Emperor would go to the plum forest on that day to enjoy the plum blossoms and drink with the Empress?"
The Queen Mother also looked at Qin Shushu and put down the Buddhist beads in her hand.
Qin Shushu raised her eyes and spoke calmly
