Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Queen Mother Li had a bad attitude towards Concubine Mei, and King Qi and the eldest prince also noticed it. However, the eldest prince, like everyone else, did not ask any questions. After all, he and Queen Mother Li were separated by a generation, so there were some things that were difficult to ask, but King Qi He and Empress Dowager Li are mother and son, and they are Empress Dowager Li's most beloved child, so I asked why.

If others were to ask, Queen Mother Li might still tell the truth if she was tight-lipped. King Qi was the last person Queen Mother Li knew how to tell the truth to, so even though he asked, it was in vain. Queen Mother Li only said that she could not understand Concubine Mei. , no reason.

So why does Empress Dowager Li dislike Concubine Mei? Apart from Concubine Mei and the emperor, only An Ran knows the reason, and no one else knows.

An Ran's guess was good. Concubine Mei was indeed hostile to King Qi. The reason was very simple. She felt that with such a good relationship between King Qi and the eldest prince, even if Queen Zhang was successfully dealt with by her and she became the new queen, her son would also be the new queen. He became the legitimate son, but if the King of Qi supported the eldest prince, and the Queen Mother was still there to support the younger son's decision, that would be a great obstacle to her son's succession, so she was naturally hostile to the King of Qi, and felt that the King of Qi was She can't stay. As long as King Qi dies, the Queen Mother will not be afraid. Moreover, when King Qi dies, the Queen Mother will be sad and may collapse, and then go. This is the best way to kill two birds with one stone.

An Ran really didn't expect that Concubine Mei was so hostile because she thought that King Qi might help the eldest prince in the future. After all, Concubine Mei was still just a concubine, and Empress Zhang was also fine. Who could have expected that she would be thinking like that now? It's far, too far to imagine.

Although he didn't expect it, he knew that she was hostile to King Qi, so he just stared at her. This was the first time An Ran saw her hostility. He had never seen it before. In other words, Concubine Mei would not have done anything to King Qi before. , but after that, she might deal with King Qi. Since she has to deal with King Qi after this, she can't make arrangements before, she has to make new arrangements. In this way, as long as she keeps an eye on it, she will find out one day. , so her strategy of keeping an eye on Concubine Mei is right. Unless Concubine Mei will never do bad things again, there will always be a day when she is exposed. But will Concubine Mei never do bad things in the future? As long as she still wants to be in power, she will resort to various means, so she will surely wait.

Thinking of this, after returning from Queen Mother Li's place, An Ran began to look at the puppet situation of Concubine Mei.

An Ran always had puppets beside Concubine Mei, but before that she paid more attention to the situation around Queen Zhang and King Qi. After all, she couldn't let anything happen to them, so sometimes when she had time, she also looked at the situation around Queen Zhang and King Qi. Concubine Mei was monitored for a long time and nothing important was found, so she left it alone.

But seeing that Concubine Mei was hostile to the eldest prince and Prince Qi today, An Ran wanted to see if there was any problem with Concubine Mei.

Originally, she thought that as Concubine Mei was as hostile to the eldest prince and Prince Qi before, she would definitely give some orders when she returned. However, Concubine Mei still made no move, which disappointed An Ran.

An Ran doesn't believe that Concubine Mei is really innocent. She can only say that Concubine Mei seems to have evolved after what happened last time. Even if she is monitored now, she can't find out what she has done.

It's not a problem if things continue like this. After all, a lot of things will happen next. If she keeps monitoring Concubine Mei, but it doesn't work and still lets things happen, then she is really useless.

Although she didn't find out what Concubine Mei had done, An Ran didn't want Concubine Mei to be fine and have the energy to cause trouble.

So an official was immediately released for committing evil deeds. Needless to say, this official had climbed up through the Mei family's path, so An Ran's purpose of releasing this official was naturally to find something for Concubine Mei to do. Lest she have time to cause trouble.

However, in this world, because of her intervention, Concubine Mei has not become the Concubine of Emperor Mei, and the Mei family has not been granted the title of earl, so the ways she can help people are limited, so this person is just a county magistrate.

Although he was just a county magistrate, he had also been greedy for a lot of money while in office, and even had people's lives on his hands.

Soon, the case was reported to the emperor. Seeing that a county magistrate could be greedy for so much money and still have lives on his hands, the emperor became furious and issued an order to deal with it strictly and pulled out the protective umbrella of the magistrate.

Needless to say, in the end, after searching and searching, I found out that it was Concubine Mei.

This is embarrassing.

Concubine Mei had spies everywhere, so she heard about this incident immediately, and was immediately frightened, fearing that the emperor would be dissatisfied with her because of this incident, and would banish her to the cold palace, and her future would be over. So he immediately ran to the emperor and cried to apologize.

Of course, asking for guilt is secondary, the main thing is to shirk responsibility.

Immediately, I heard Concubine Mei cry with pear blossoms and said: "Your Majesty, I see clearly that I don't know anything about this matter. I usually restrain my mother's family and tell them not to do anything to live up to the emperor's favor. I don't know how they did it." That’s what I did.”

This is true. Concubine Mei usually restrains her family members and tells them not to be arrogant and domineering (before the big thing is done).

The Mei family agreed.

However, since the birth of her child, they have to manage their influence. In order to manage their influence, the Mei family accepts people who fawn over them. Now that they have accepted them and become one of their own, they will naturally try their best to treat those who fawn over them. They are highly praised, otherwise how can they grow in power, but they do not have the vision to recognize people, so sometimes it is easy for good things to happen.

Of course, sometimes the Mei family deliberately selects people with bad character. After all, some things need to be done by people with bad character. People with very good character have moral baggage and may not be willing to do these things.

In this case, something could easily go wrong.

Of course, Concubine Mei couldn't say that her mother's family was doing something like this for her own sake. She could only blame it on her mother's family, saying that it was because they didn't obey her restrictions.

Fortunately, the person An Ran specially introduced was selective. He deliberately chose the person chosen by Mr. Mei. In this way, Mei Guifei would not have any psychological burden when he recommended it to his family. He wanted to find out in the end. , it was Mr. Mei who did it. The emperor took care of Mr. Mei. Not only would she not feel uncomfortable, but she would also be happy to take revenge with the emperor's hand.

When the emperor saw her crying like this, he really softened his heart. He thought that it really had nothing to do with Concubine Mei. After all, she was in the deep palace and could not care about the affairs of the Mei family. So he had a cold expression on his face when he saw Concubine Mei crying like this. Finally, his tone became gentle and he said, "I know you are good, so don't be afraid."

Immediately, the emperor told Concubine Mei the result of the handling and asked Concubine Mei if this was possible.
