Cannon Fodder Strategy

Recently, the Empress Dowager left the palace, and Emperor Yongming was not here either. Lily was the biggest in the palace, and Concubine Xian didn't know what was wrong with her. She often came to Xianfu Palace to talk to her in the name of paying homage to Lily. Maybe he was panicked after learning about the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and needed someone to talk to. As soon as Lily finished speaking, Concubine Xian pressed her temples with her fingers and sneered: "Who else? It's not Jiang Cainu! Someone like her got pregnant after being favored."

She was still jealous and sour, her tone was choked with sobs, but Lily couldn't help laughing after hearing this:

"Do you think she is really pregnant?"

"What do you mean, sister?" Concubine Xian felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask. Lily glanced at her: "The news that Jiang Cainu is pregnant came from this palace."

Concubine Xian was shocked when she heard what she said: "What?"

After saying that, she couldn't help but stood up and turned around twice: "Sister, you are confused, how can you talk nonsense about such a thing? If it is found out, sister, you are..."

"Why are you anxious? I naturally do things in a measured way." After Bai He finished speaking, he motioned for Xian Concubine to sit down: "Now, Empress Dowager Lu probably wants to hear the news about Jiang Cainu's pregnancy more than anyone else, and she is worried that she will not have the chance to express her gratitude to Jiang Cainu. Now that she’s done, I’ll give her this chance!”

If you want to deal with Empress Dowager Lu, you can't just passively take the beating. You have to take the initiative. After hearing her words, Concubine Xian always felt that her mind was confused. She vaguely seemed to be able to touch something, but in the panic, she thought of everything. Can't get up. She resented Lily for acting too recklessly, and hated herself for being easily fooled by her and joining her pirate ship. It's hard to get away now.

If Jiang Cainu's pregnancy leave was revealed, the emperor would be furious and start a thorough investigation. If Lily's secrets are exposed, anyone who gets close to her like this will be unlucky.

However, Empress Dowager Lu was not overthrown by then, but she died first because of the implication.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian showed an unhappy look on her face: "Sister, what you are doing is really too reckless." After learning such news today, Concubine Xian wished she had never been to Xianfu Palace today and had not heard anything about it. After Guo Baihe said this, she couldn't sit down anymore, so she made an excuse and left.

When Empress Dowager Lu left the palace for half a month, Lily handed the token to Shiqing and told her to go back to Zhou's house and wait until the person who left the palace to buy it came back the next day. A middle-aged aunt followed the purchasing team into the palace.

When the aunt raised her head, Lily looked at Zhou Lily's mother Qin and sighed: "Mother."

Poetic and Painting guarded the door in person, leaving the mother and daughter to discuss secretly in the inner hall.

"You asked Shiqing to carry the message that there was a drastic change in the palace. What was the reason?" The Qin family gave birth to three sons and one daughter, all of whom were very up to date. Her daughter Zhou Baihe was outstanding in all rules and etiquette. The former Empress Dowager praised her very much and chose her as her daughter-in-law. After marrying the Crown Prince, she became very proud. She soon gave birth to the Emperor's blood and had an heir. Until the end of last year, Liang Mu As soon as Bei died, Zhou Baihe completely fell out of favor, and Mrs. Qin had no chance to see her daughter alone. I was also very anxious.

So yesterday Shiqing came back to deliver a message. It is said that when the imperial concubine invited Mrs. Zhou to come into the palace, Qin took the risk and entered the palace. No matter how she asked about Shiqing yesterday, Shiqing never said anything. Today she saw Lily. Qin couldn't bear it any longer and asked.

"Mother. The Zhou family is in trouble." The Zhou family is a noble family. The so-called noble family is famous for its reputation, noble but not rich, holding real power, and gaining the emperor's trust. As early as when Taizu Liang Yi was still the prince, he was persecuted by Concubine Zheng and wanted to kill the prince several times. It was the grandfather of the Zhou family who tried his best to learn from it and led the ministers to kneel at the main gate of Taiji Hall for three days to pray to the emperor. Changing his mind prevented Liang Yi from being killed by the fatuous Emperor Qi. When the Northern Dynasty was established, because of Zhou's father's meritorious service in serving the dragon, Liang Yi remembered his mentor's life-saving grace, and when discussing his merits and rewards, he was granted the title of Dingguo Duke, and he was hereditary. This was the only one in the Qi Dynasty. Zhou's father was originally the crown prince's Taibao, and three generations of the Zhou family were the emperor's teachers. In Zhou's father's generation, when the late emperor passed away, he was appointed as the chief minister, and he was extremely prosperous.

Logically speaking, with such a family background, as long as the crime of treason is not committed, not to mention that Lily was once married to Emperor Yongming, just relying on the merits of three generations of the Zhou family is like a gold medal for immunity from death, and there is absolutely no chance of anything happening. When Ms. Qin heard her daughter say this, she felt as if she had just heard a fairy tale. She wanted to laugh, but when she saw her daughter's face, it didn't look like she was joking.

"how you said that?"

Mrs. Qin asked, and Lily dipped her fingers in tea and wrote the word "obscene" on the table. Qin was shocked when she saw this scene. Her face changed drastically and her brows furrowed. She stared at Lily suspiciously, and her voice changed slightly: "What did you do?"

If Lily commits adultery/challenges in the palace, I am afraid that not only she will be unlucky, but it may also bring disaster to the family. Thinking of the Zhou family's hundreds of years of reputation, if it is ruined because of their daughter, I am afraid that the ancestors of the Zhou family will be angry when they die. There is no peace.

Lily heard something was wrong in Qin's voice and knew that she had misunderstood, so she couldn't help but feel funny and angry. She stretched out her hand to wipe away the water stains on the table, and said slowly: "Where are you thinking, mother? The word 'obscene' mentioned by the daughter does not refer to the daughter." When Mrs. Qin heard what she said, she felt a little relieved. An, changed his sitting position again and motioned for Lily to continue.

"I'm afraid my mother also knows something about Mu Bei's death." Speaking of this, Mrs. Qin's teeth rattled: "Of course I know. Your second uncle said that Zhen was a bitch who cheated on you. I apologize to you because I blame him for not being familiar with people." The Zhou family has excellent upbringing. There is little intrigue between relatives, but they are very united. The Zhou family does not like concubines, and all brothers and sisters are direct descendants of the same mother. They have deep feelings for each other. It is precisely because of this special reason that the Zhou family has been able to develop for hundreds of years and has a very stable foundation.

Hearing her mother's apology to her, Lily was noncommittal: "Does mother know who instigated Mrs. Zhen?"

"I heard that it has something to do with the virtuous concubine." Emperor Yongming naturally had to keep a close eye on the secrets of the palace and the scandal of the eldest prince's murder. It was precisely because the Guo family was involved in framing the eldest prince. The Zhou family in the court began to target the Guo family. The Guo family came to beg for mercy several times, but they were rejected.

"She was just a cover. It was Lu who really harmed Mu Bei."

"Which Lu family?"

At the beginning, Mrs. Qin didn't realize it. There were not many women with status in the palace, but there were quite a few without status. Mrs. Qin was a little confused for a moment, and she never thought of Empress Dowager Lu. Lily's eyelids He lowered his head and said, "Other than Queen Mother Lu, who else could be there?"

When Mrs. Qin heard that she pointed out that it was Empress Dowager Lu who killed Liang Mubei, she was shocked and said: "How is that possible?"

"Why is it impossible?"

"She, she has no reason..." Ms. Qin was so surprised that her voice stammered. She didn't believe that Empress Dowager Lu did this. Empress Dowager Lu was just a Queen Mother who did not hold power, even if she had been granted the title of Empress Dowager. The scenery has passed, but after all, the late emperor has passed away, and she has nothing to fight for except to live in the palace for a long time. What does it matter to her who is the emperor? He's not her son anyway.

If it was Empress Dowager Lu, Mrs. Qin believed that it was Concubine Xian who did it. Just when she was about to speak, she couldn't help but think of the word 'obscene' that her daughter had gestured before, and her face instantly turned as pale as snow, but after all, she was old and had experienced There are many things going on, but they are still stable at this time and there are no clues.

"What's the meaning?"

"The Empress Dowager Lu had an affair with the emperor and became pregnant. The purpose of eradicating Mu Bei was just to pave the way for the evil in her belly!" Lily didn't care whether Qin could accept it at the moment, and told her what she knew. The Qin family was bombarded by a series of news about Empress Dowager Lu having an affair with the emperor and being pregnant, which made her dizzy, but Lily couldn't care so much, and continued:

"She is very jealous and ambitious. She harmed Mu Bei, and also wooed Yungui people to frame Xian Fei. She also used Yungui people to get rid of the child in Liu Wanyi's belly, and framed the blame on De Concubine. This is what I asked before The reason why the Zhou family is preparing for Jiang's entry into the palace." After Lily finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to hold Qin's hand: "Mother, the Zhou family is in danger now. Liang He is a wolf in Zhongshan. He will not recognize anyone when he is in power. This person has a cold and vicious nature. He knows The Lu family harmed Mu Bei, but he turned a blind eye and allowed her to do what she did. It was simply the act of a foolish king. He didn't know etiquette and shame, and there were so many women in the world that even the late emperor's widow wanted to offend him. When his daughter married him, he didn't Regardless of the relationship between husband and wife, after ascending the throne, the daughter had no fault, but she only took the title of imperial concubine. This was without the meaning of husband and wife. After Mu Bei's accident, as a father, he only knew how to indulge the prostitute and do whatever he wanted. He is ruthless. How can such a ruthless and unjust person be worthy of being the leader of the world? He plotted against the Gao family and stingily gave the Gao family status. The Zhou family has now become the most powerful prince in the country. How can Liang He allow the Zhou family to continue to survive? ?”

Even if Liang He could tolerate it, Queen Mother Lu would shovel these people away one by one.

What's more, the so-called Queen Mother Lu, Lily also suspected that she had some relationship with the previous dynasty's Concubine Zheng. If she boldly guessed that this Queen Mother Lu believed in ghosts and gods so much, what if there was a famous person living under the skin of the so-called Queen Mother Lu? As the ghost of Concubine Zheng, she must have taken revenge when the Zhou family prevented her from killing Liang Yi and hanged her head in the end.

In the plot, no one has a happy ending, whether it is the Gao family of De Concubine or the Zhou family of Lily Zhou. General Gao died in battle, but Gao's brother finally acted arrogantly and angered the emperor and was punished. The Zhou family was executed by the whole clan in the name of corruption. Hundreds of people died overnight.

Lily closed her eyes. Qin was so shocked that she couldn't wake up. Lily took a deep breath:

"Mu Bei can't die in vain, and nothing can happen to the Zhou family, so mother, you have to convince your father after you go back, and so on..." (To be continued ~^~)
