"If he can rule the world, I can do the same. Doesn't he like to suppress villains with force? Then I will learn his style and see whether his body is stronger or my army's armor is stronger."
Fu Mochen sneaked into the Queen's bedroom through the side door of the side hall without disturbing anyone. The palace maids had all been driven out, and there was no one to look after him at this moment.
He looked at his mother with complicated eyes. When all the truth came true from his premonition, and the words he couldn't say were pointed out in an arrogant and vicious tone, he realized how difficult it was to accept it.
After all, he is still his father. Even if he did something bad, he would still just take it for granted. He was increasingly confused about how to deal with himself.
Children who are forced to grow up do not yet know the true benefits of rights, and there is still a trace of conscience and family affection in their bones that restrain their behavior.
Before one wave subsides, another wave rises.
Before the Queen could find out anything and launch any alliances, someone got ahead of her.
A "rumor" spread inside and outside the palace.
Although the emperor is the Son of Heaven, his dragon energy is suppressed by a group of women, which affects the prosperity of Daliang State. This alarmed the evil star and caused frequent accidents.
Others said that in order to save Daliang's fortune, the emperor did not hesitate to stain his hands with blood, secretly eliminated the corrupt officials in the court, and restored a clean political situation to Daliang.
There are different versions, but these two are the most sharp.
As a result, the political party affiliated with the Queen became angry and clamored in the court to investigate the source of the news and find out who was using the Queen Mother's status to slander the innocence of the deceased with ulterior motives.
Fu Yuheng and the prince, who supported the orthodoxy, were unwilling to be outdone. The grief and indignation that had been dormant for a long time showed signs of erupting. Although the emperor was still young, he was the legitimate heir to the royal family. No matter how shameless the queen was, she had to consider the spit of historians and people all over the world. She dared not suppress him openly or challenge his status. She vowed to give a reasonable explanation to appease the people.
Shen Qingwan worked hard for three days before she realized these drastic changes.
She brushed the dust off her knees from working in front of the boiler, and imagined Fu Yuheng breaking into people's homes in the middle of the night and killing people. He didn't look like a bad guy at all.
At best, it is to enforce justice and ensure that those who deserve the punishment they receive.
I just don't know what the Queen will do. Will she let Fu Mochen come out to dispel the rumors and confirm it, or will she simply break off relations and really put herself in the position of the Queen and completely remove Fu Mochen from power.
No matter which one, Shen Qingwan didn't think she could defeat the shrewd Fu Yuheng.
He has been in that position for so many years, and his control is definitely much stronger than that of a woman who has never really been involved in government affairs.
Not to mention the bloody storm in the court, even the harem became restless because of the wind blowing from the front.
Murong Wan and Leng Xiang discussed the change in wind direction with a few senior palace maids who were taking a break, and there was no lack of worry in their words.
"When I entered the palace, I heard that the Queen Mother was the main empress, and that the prince ascended the throne less than a hundred days after the emperor's death, and even skipped the mourning period. The queen personally ruled the country from behind the curtain. So this rumor means..."
The head palace maid scolded Murong Wan, Leng Xiang remained silent, but was thinking the same question in her mind.
They were just guessing what was going on here, and caring about these things was just to plan for their own future.
If the empress dowager is not a strong tree, she will be in trouble once the little emperor becomes powerful in the future.
Leng Xiang saw Shen Qingwan passing by and said maliciously: "Sister Juanzhi, what do you think about this matter? Why don't you tell us?"
If she said anything outrageous, she could report it to the nanny or spread the news and punish her for the serious crime of commenting on state affairs casually.
How could Shen Qingwan not know what she was thinking
Such obvious scheming would be too childish to be used on her.
"How can I distinguish such a big thing clearly? Besides, this is a forbidden matter in the palace, so it's not good to talk about it."
After saying this, he ignored the wary looks or rumors from Leng Xiang and the others and went about his own business.
Only Murong Wan was still afraid.
Leng Xiang did not let Shen Qingwan go, "Sister Chen, are you going to get yourself out of this? As slaves, how can we really think about ourselves? We are just thinking about leaving more opportunities for survival in the future. If you say so, aren't we all guilty of capital punishment?"
The voice was not loud, but the meaning of provocation was obvious.
Except for Murong Wan, the other palace maids didn't like her very much, and some were even angry with her.
Murong Wan hadn't found a way to repay the favor yet. Although she was unwilling to do so, she still said something fair: "Chen Juanzhi is telling the truth. She is timid and doesn't want to participate. Why do you have to drag her in? Even if she comes in and people find out, you don't have to kill her. Why bother with her? Just one thing, if you spread what happened today, we won't let you go even if we become ghosts."
Leng Xiang's eyes rolled and she took these words to heart.
Shen Qingwan naturally agreed, as she didn't really want to make everyone dislike her.
But I didn’t expect that something really happened a few days later.
When the housekeeper threw the person in front of Murong Wan, she was suddenly panicked.
I thought I was doing it very secretly, but I still got discovered.
The nanny was accompanied by a young palace maid who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She looked very smug. From the intimate attitude between her and the nanny, it was not difficult to guess who had leaked the matter.
But Murong Wan had never seen her, and she had never mentioned that incident to anyone, so how could she have been reported
The nanny's face was wrinkled together and her expression was more stern than ever before.
"Murong Wan, I treat you well, don't I? Tell me what happened. What do you want to do by dealing with the emperor's servants privately?"
The nanny's harsh questioning left Murong Wan speechless. With both witnesses and evidence in hand, she had no way of denying it.
"Mammy, it's her. She wants to get in touch with the prince. She really doesn't know her own limitations."
Murong Wan has been punished many times recently, so she can't help but feel a little afraid of the housekeeper. Thinking about what kind of punishment she will get this time, suddenly an idea came to her mind.
How did that girl know about this? She was very secretive...
Leng Xiang said at this time: "Don't make a mistake, Wanwan is timid and has received so many lessons, she wouldn't be so brave.
The girl said proudly: "If it weren't for someone...ah..."
The girl from Gaomi covered her mouth and wanted to say something but didn't. Instead, she reached out and touched the hairpin on her head.
The hairpin is very small, but you can still see the clues if you look closely.
Murong Wan's face changed, and Leng Xiang was startled.
