Now it's finally over. The surrender I just made to the emperor is to put the position of Duke Dingguo on the emperor's side, and it also completely cuts off the support from the Queen Mother. No matter what, Duke Dingguo will never stand on the side of the emperor again. The Queen Mother would certainly not follow Prince Ning in rebellion.

This was specifically mentioned in order to gain the emperor's approval. As expected by the King of Chu, the emperor immediately pardoned Rui'er's crime and restored her status as a concubine. A face, but also a hint that he should not act in vain.
This is what he hopes for most now. After all, now is not the time to fall out with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother always comes from the Dingguo Palace in front of people. If he offends the Queen Mother, who knows what she will do to him. No matter what, he is still a minister. He is a junior again, no matter from any aspect, he is weak.
It seems that the emperor has no intention to touch the Queen Mother and Prince Ning for the time being, and will make a decision before taking action. Duke Ding now sincerely hopes that the Queen Mother can stay in the palace peacefully. Compared with the Emperor's methods, the Queen Mother's actions are really lacking. , if King Ning is really rebellious, the Queen Mother is rebellious. As the Queen Mother's natal family, the Dingguo Palace cannot escape.
Thinking of this, Duke Dingguo felt more and more that it was right to obey King Chu's wishes today and come to express his sincerity to the emperor and report it!
At least his current position is on the side of the emperor. Besides, there is also a queen and Princess Chu. In the future, the affairs of the queen mother will not have much to do with him.
Wiping the sweat on his head, Duke Dingguo walked out of the palace happily. What happened last night did not stir up too many waves in his heart. No matter what the prince did, he would not touch them for the time being. There were only a few unrelated servants and concubines who died in the four princes' mansions, so they didn't deserve much attention from him.
As soon as she turned around the corner of the palace, she saw a palace maid standing on a path. When she saw him coming, she immediately came over and said respectfully: "See the Duke."
"What's the matter?" Duke Dingguo's face darkened.
"I heard that an assassin entered the Duke's mansion last night. The Queen Mother is very worried. She wants to ask about the situation of the people in the mansion. Please ask the Duke to come with your servant." The palace maid said politely with a smile.
What happened just yesterday, the Queen Mother, who was living in seclusion in the palace and not interested in world affairs, knew everything early this morning. What happened to Ling Ruier last time, she went to Cining Palace to plead for mercy after a few days, and the Queen Mother also made a move. He acted like he didn't know anything and had to explain everything to himself again.
"Please report back to the Queen Mother. Most of the people in the mansion are safe. There are only a few servants. It's not a big deal, but a lot of people are frightened. I will go back and settle the people in the mansion first, and we will come in later." The palace will tell the Queen Mother in detail." Duke Dingguo pretended to be in a hurry and said to the palace maid.
He really didn't have time to enter the palace at this time. He had to go back and tell Ling Rui'er that the Mo family's concubine was not in the Chu Palace now. The Dingguo Palace had to make some gestures to stop Youyou's mouth. Besides, he had just An idea struck me, and I thought that my second uncle also had a lot of power in the house. Why not take this opportunity to get rid of a few of his men, so that I can effectively suppress the second uncle and the Queen Mother in the future...
Ling Rui'er became the Princess of Chu again and said that she had changed her ways. She also brought a strong team to Shi Lang's house to apologize to Concubine Mo who was still lying on the bed with sores, and bumped Concubine Mo into the house. The maid who lost her baby was beaten to death on the spot in front of Mo Yarui.
Ling Rui'er sincerely apologized to Mo Yarui, regardless of her own identity, and cried bitterly on the spot and wanted to kneel down to Mo Yarui. How could Mo Yarui bear such a scene, so she stood up on the spot to help Ling Rui'er. He expressed how he, a side concubine, could bear the great gift from the principal concubine.
At this point, Ling Rui'er also sincerely apologized, and repeatedly said that she would treat Mo Yarui well and help her take care of her body. Mo Yarui, who is a bit weak by nature, also expressed that she wanted to return to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. She was a married daughter who stayed here all day long. Her mother's family was always different, so Minister Mo had no choice but to let his daughter follow Ling Rui'er back, and secretly told the maid who followed Mo Yarui to Prince Chu's Mansion to be careful with her eyebrows.
Minister Mo was not Mo Yarui. He always felt that Ling Rui'er would not be so easy to talk to. He was always worried about his daughter, so he sent someone else to go in and out of the back door of Prince Chu's Mansion. He was afraid that his only daughter would be soft-hearted and be deceived. He didn't know how he died. He only had a wry smile in his heart because he had fantasies about his daughter and the King of Chu.
When the accident happened to his daughter, the King of Chu had not yet entered the army camp. How could anyone know nothing about it in the palace of the King of Chu? The child in his daughter's belly was knocked out, and the King of Chu did not care. This shows that he really has no feelings for his daughter. , Minister Mo now just hopes that nothing will happen to his daughter, even if he is asked to take his daughter home now, he is willing.
Helplessly, Mo Yarui finally believed that Feng Juexuan had her in his heart and followed Ling Ruier back home.
Not to mention what happened to Mo Yarui, there was one person who was completely unaffected by the current situation. He Yufen was in a good mood these days, thinking that she would finally get her wish and enter Prince Xuan's Mansion. Although she was still a little unhappy about not being able to become a concubine, But these unpleasant experiences are just a small dark cloud compared to actually getting into Prince Xuan's Mansion as he wished.
When she entered the capital, in order to stay in the capital, she was a victim. In order to stay in the capital, she could only marry Yu Mingyong, a playboy. Compared to herself, He Yuxiu looked smarter and smarter. There were many, so his father and second uncle both chose He Yuxiu to enter Prince Xuan's Mansion.
But she is not willing to give in. That Yu Mingyong is a dandy. How can He Yufen be willing to accept it? She has always prided herself on her beauty, so how can she be willing to let her beauty go to waste? Fortunately, something will happen to He Yuxiu in the palace and she will have to marry Yi Yi. , and then thinking about how Concubine Zhao defended her last time, she was obviously on her side, which made her feel even more emboldened.
With Concubine Zhao as her backing, how could Mo Xuetong, a little girl who had not yet grown up, compare with herself.
He Yuxiu's inexplicable disappearance did not burden her at all. Instead, she felt that it would be better without He Yuxiu. Without the sarcastic He Yuxiu, the He family would only value her more, and she did not want to face He Yuxiu. It would be best if He Yuxiu died without her. No one can compete with me for favor.
Tomorrow is the day to enter Prince Xuan's Mansion. He Yufen was counting her boxes in the house early in the morning. The He family was indeed very kind to her. They packed thirty-six boxes. This kind of dowry was enough for her to live in Prince Xuan's Mansion. Of course, He Yufen knew that it was at least half empty, but even so, her identity was raised.
Just when she was looking at it with pride and joy, someone sent by Concubine Zhao came outside and asked her to enter the palace specially.
Hearing that Concubine Zhao was destined, He Yufen happily followed the little eunuch who came to announce her into the palace gate and came to Mingyue Palace.
A palace maid had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw He Yufen coming, she greeted her respectfully and took her into the palace.
Zhao Fei's Mingyue Palace had always been deserted before, but the furnishings inside were extremely gorgeous. He Yufen had been to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace. After seeing the objects in Zhao Fei's place, she immediately felt that even Cining Palace could not compare with it. , I feel more and more confident that I will become Princess Xuan.
With Concubine Zhao's favor, it didn't take more than a few words to unseat Mo Xuetong.
He Yufen, who had been living in a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, certainly didn't understand that what the Queen Mother wanted was to be low-key, to make the emperor feel that she was at peace and satisfied with her current life.
"Kowtow to Concubine Zhao." Entering inside, I saw Concubine Zhao He Yufen bowing down.
"Yufen, sit down." Concubine Zhao smiled gently and pointed to the chair on the side. He Yufen thanked her and sat down with her body bent.
"We will enter Prince Xuan's Mansion tomorrow, does Yufen know what to do?" Concubine Zhao smiled slightly, picked up the green lotus tea cup at hand and took a sip, and asked.
He Yufen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Concubine Zhao meant when she asked this question. The matters after entering Prince Xuan's Mansion had been discussed long ago. Her father and uncle no longer reminded her that the first thing they did after entering Prince Xuan's Mansion was to fight. Pour Mo Xuetong, then grab Feng Jueran's heart and control Feng Jueran.
"Mother, do you think something is wrong?" she asked after hesitation.
"There is indeed something wrong. The first thing you did after entering the house was to capture Lao Ba's heart. After hearing about the tea leaves last time, Lao Ba has returned to his original appearance. There is also a new aunt in the backyard. , the status is not low, those concubines may also be released, Mo Xuetong is no longer the only one in the backyard of Xuan Prince's Mansion, it is useless for you to defeat Mo Xuetong."
Concubine Zhao said gently that this was the conclusion she came to after analyzing the recent events in Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Something must have happened between Feng Juoran and Mo Xuetong. Although they have not found out, the incident in the backyard is real. A few days after Feng Juoran was banned by the emperor, the backyard became lively. When I got up, I heard that the concubines who had been banned in the past had also been given the opportunity to move around. Mo Xuetong had even met them once.
That's when Aunt Qin caught Feng Juoran's eye and brought her up in one fell swoop.
It is said that this matter was not discussed with Mo Xuetong before, which shows that Feng Juoran is no longer as good as before towards Mo Xuetong.
This is also the reason why Concubine Zhao specially asked He Yufen to enter the palace.
He Yufen was naturally smart enough to stand out from the women adopted by the He family. She immediately understood what Concubine Zhao meant and nodded in agreement.
"Yufen, you have to be mentally prepared. Lao Ba may not come when you come in tomorrow. With Lao Ba's flamboyant temperament, how can he take your little aunt to heart." Concubine Zhao glanced at her sideways and gave her a She gave an appreciative look and warned again.
On the first day when the concubine entered the house, she had an affair again. The emperor also knew it, so why did he not come over to take a look? He Yufen was a little dumbfounded. She thought that Feng Jueran might not like her very much now, but she never thought about it. Feng Jueran didn't even look at her, and was a little panicked for a moment, asking: "Empress, what should I do?" (To be continued)
