Cannon Fodder Strategy

Lily glanced at her and sneered: "How is it impossible? Why did Queen Mother Lu attack Mu Bei in this palace? You don't have the slightest doubt?" She was just a Queen Mother. To put it bluntly, Emperor Yongming had nothing to do with her. No matter who As an emperor, as long as she has this status, and no big trouble occurs, she will be raised in the palace for the rest of her life. Why did she want to kill Liang Mubei? She was neither a virtuous concubine nor a virtuous concubine, and Liang Mubei's existence was like blocking their way. There was no reason for Empress Dowager Lu to take action.

There was no enmity or grudge between the original owner and her, but she still plotted to kill Liang Mubei. There must be a reason why.

"I have been thinking about this problem for a long time, and I can't figure it out. It wasn't until Queen Mother Lu became pregnant that I found out that she felt Mu Bei was blocking her way, so she removed Mu Bei's roadblock." Lu Although the Queen Mother is already the Queen Mother, she is full of ambitions in her heart. She must want to give birth to an heir for Emperor Yongming and let her son inherit the throne, so she will most likely be invited by the ministers to be named the Queen Mother in the future. The prince's Liang Mubei shoveled away.

As the eldest son, Liang Mubei was born from Zhou Baihe, his legitimate wife. Due to emotions and reasons, if nothing happens to him and he makes no major mistakes, the possibility of inheriting the throne in the future is not low.

"More than a month ago, Empress Dowager Lu had already suffered from morning sickness, but Concubine Xian and others did not raise any suspicions. Until the day before yesterday during the Flower Festival, I deliberately threw a butterfly at her, and she instinctively stretched out her hand to block it. Only this palace can confirm this." As soon as Lily finished speaking, Su Ho and others were so shocked that they could not speak. After hearing such secrets from the palace, everyone felt their hearts beating extremely fast. Feeling cold all over.

"But how do you know," Su Ho's voice was dry and mutated, and she obviously realized it herself. She stuck out her tongue and licked her mouth: "How do you know, the emperor and the queen mother..."

"At the end of the year, before General Gao Lingshu returned to the capital, the emperor took Empress Dowager Lu out of the palace." At that time, everyone thought that Emperor Yongming was filial to his stepmother and had a very good relationship with Empress Dowager Lu. No one would have the nastiness to guess that something so disgusting happened between the stepmother and her son.

Su Ho felt bitter in her heart, knowing this, even if she wanted to stop cooperating with Lily at this time, it was too late. If Empress Dowager Lu knew about this, Lily and others would not be able to get away with it, and I am afraid that she would be easily The emperor was silent.

After all, it is impossible for any news of such a scandal to leak out.

Now that the muddy water has flowed, it is useless to regret it. It's better to go all out. Lily even knows such secrets. The Empress Dowager Lu must not know that the imperial concubine already knows this. She might be calculating whether Lily can really win.

Either way, you will die, so why not give it a try? If you lose, you will die without a burial place. If you win, you will be the master of the six games, and you will be honored for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, Su Ho closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, although his face was still pale, his expression gradually became firm: "Do you really mean what you promised?"

Su Ho was indeed a smart and decisive person. He had already come up with an idea in such a short period of time. Lily looked at her and smiled. She told Su Ho about this today. I never thought that Rong Suhe would leave again. If Su Ho wanted to go back on her word, not only would Empress Dowager Lu not be able to tolerate her, Lily would also not be able to tolerate her leaving the Xianfu Palace alive. She came here in disguise tonight, she must be hiding from others. If she really doesn't want to cooperate with him, after hearing such secrets. Lily will definitely kill her then! Someone died in the palace. Even if Empress Dowager Lu investigates, she may not know that she was the one who did it. Even if Empress Dowager Lu has suspicions, there is no evidence.

Lily has been on many missions and has a good eye for people. Seeing that Su Ho already had an idea, she nodded: "What I said is of course true." After she finished speaking, she asked Queen Mother Lu about her preferences. Wait, Su Ho didn't know what was going on, and told her everything, including that Empress Dowager Lu liked plum blossoms. From the time she entered the palace, a large number of plum blossoms had been transplanted into Fengming Palace, and they were planted every winter. So he asked the palace servants to collect plum blossoms and seal them up. The petals and seeds used for bathing, the hair oil used on the hair and the balm used on the body all carry the fragrance of plum blossoms. Even the rouge used is made of plum blossoms. It is specially made by drying and grinding plum blossoms into powder. She also talked about Empress Dowager Lu's preferences. Lily frowned when she heard that Empress Dowager Lu liked the fragrance of plum blossoms.

When the Fengming Palace was filled with plum blossoms, she didn't think much about it. She didn't mind the occasional faint scent of plum blossoms on Empress Dowager Lu, but when Su Ho mentioned it, Lily discovered something was wrong.

Since ancient times, gentlemen have always loved to write poems about the four gentlemen: plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums. However, only in the Northern Qi Dynasty, plum blossoms were taboo. During the Southern Qi Dynasty, Concubine Zheng's nickname was Mei'er, and she loved plum blossoms very much. When she was not named a concubine, the emperor gave her the word plum and named her Concubine Mei. After she gave birth to a prince, she was promoted to the fourth concubine because of her merit in giving birth to the prince. At the head of the palace, there was great arrogance in the palace, and she was in the limelight for a while. All the concubines retreated when they saw her.

Since becoming the only favored concubine, Concubine Zheng has not allowed plum blossoms to be planted in other palaces in the harem. In the large Qi Dynasty palace, only the plum garden where Concubine Zheng lived had plum blossoms. Every winter, many people just want to plant plum blossoms. You can't even enjoy the scenery, so you can imagine how arrogant Concubine Zheng was at that time. After trying to interfere in the government affairs, Prince Liang Yi launched an army to rebel. Concubine Zheng was decapitated and her head was hung outside the palace wall. The son she gave birth to was sentenced to death, and the plum garden where she lived was cut down. Even because of the death of Taizu Liang Because of Yi's resentment towards her, plum blossoms were not allowed to be planted in the palace for a while. It was not until the late Taizu period that Concubine Zheng's shadow faded away, and the palace's expression changed instead of talking about plum blossoms.

After Liang Yi passed away and the late Emperor Liang Zhi ascended the throne, the matter of Concubine Zheng had already faded away, and plum blossoms gradually appeared in the palace. It was not until the late years of the late Emperor, when the Lu family became the successor, that plum blossoms were planted again in Fengming Palace. And gradually transplanted a large number of plum blossoms.

No one thought about it in the future. After all, it had been many years since the incident with Concubine Zheng, and the shadow of plum blossoms had long faded. Even the current emperor Yongming Emperor no longer mentioned the ban on plum planting. Naturally, no one else in the palace did. Think more.

But I wonder if it is the shadow left by Concubine Zheng. Apart from Fengming Hall, there are not many plum blossoms planted in other places in the palace. Only Fengming Hall has the most. The flowers bloomed last winter. Piece by piece, very beautiful. At this moment, Su Ho mentioned that Empress Dowager Lu liked plum blossoms and liked their fragrance. Lily suddenly remembered the allusion of Concubine Zheng in the plot, and she pondered for a moment.

Empress Dowager Lu was able to win over Emperor Yongming regardless of ethics and principles. Even Empress Dowager Lu was able to turn a blind eye to Emperor Yongming when he attacked his heirs. This shows that she has her own merits, but Lily I don’t believe it, there are no inseparable mandarin ducks in this world.

Someone quietly led Su He out of the Xianfu Palace. Lily slept all night, but she slept well. It was a peaceful night. Poor Poetic and Beautiful, after hearing such a shocking secret in the palace, they spent the whole night together. Unable to sleep, I stood all night, still looking anxious.

When waiting for Lily to get up in the morning, Huayi saw that Lily had slept soundly at night and looked radiant, as if she was not worried about Queen Mother Lu at all, but she was a little puzzled:

"Your Majesty, you are very generous."

"You can get away with it if you have a small heart, and you can get away with it if you have a big heart." Lily picked up the hairpin on the plate and held it on her head to make gestures. Her beautiful face with almond eyes and peach cheeks was reflected in the mirror, with a light expression, and two poetic and picturesque people behind her. There is a circle of black shadow under each eye. Fortunately, Lily is still in the ground at the moment, and she was scolded by Emperor Yongming before. Even if the two of them are seen like this, it can be said that they are worried that their master will fall out of favor. It's not noticeable.

The original owner liked a simple and elegant look to reflect the simple and dignified style that she was worthy of becoming the mother of a country. Unfortunately, Emperor Yongming did not like this. Lily picked out a simple hollow ruby ​​hairpin and handed it to the maid who was combing her hair. She watched her put the hairpin on it. The hairpin had a drop-shaped ruby ​​hanging down, reflecting the dark cloud-like bun, which was quite elegant and beautiful.

"Shiqing, you took my badge and went out of the palace. If anyone asks, don't say too much. Just tell me that I have been banned for a few days and have regretted my mistakes. I want you to go back to Zhou Mansion to ask your father for help." , asking him to intercede with the emperor."

After being banned, Lily was not allowed to go to Xianfu Palace for three months and could not see the Yongming Emperor. Before, Shi Qing and Hua Yi had said that they would go back to Zhou's house to plead with Zhou's father, but Lily rejected their proposal. Now she suddenly thought of letting Shi Qing go home again. Shi Qing braced herself up and looked at the mirror. Zhong looked over, and Lily's appearance was reflected in the mirror. Their eyes met in the mirror, and Shiqing moved her lips: "Empress..."

Lily touched her hair, gestured to the palace man who was combing her hair, and sent him off. Several maids in the palace stood far away in the corner. If her voice was lowered so that others could not hear her, Lily spoke in a low voice:

"You ask the Zhou government to find beautiful women who are good at singing and dancing, regardless of their status, train them and send them to the theater troupe." After thinking about it, Lily remembered what she had said to Empress Dowager Lu when Concubine De became powerful. At that time, Empress Dowager Lu obviously liked to listen to operas. Concubine De recommended a Qing family troupe at that time, but Empress Dowager Lu said about 'Yangchun Society'. Thinking of this, Lily continued: "Send it to Yangchun Society, you must You need to be beautiful and be able to control it.”

Although Shiqing didn't understand the meaning, she still nodded cautiously.

She waited on Lily for a while before leaving. When she left the palace, the news of Shiqing's departure was spread to the ears of Empress Dowager Lu. Empress Dowager Lu covered her stomach and lay lazily on the imperial concubine chair. She heard that After hearing the news that the palace attendant beside Lily had left the palace, he asked: "Can I find out where they went?" (To be continued~^~)
