The Queen Mother asked herself, and felt that if she were King Huan and an official, she would definitely not trust a white-eyed wolf like the Duke of Qi.

As long as I am better at Qi Guogong's mansion, I can always leverage such a half-hearted person.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

With this in mind, the Queen Mother drew many cakes for Princess Pingning.

But Princess Pingning agreed on the face, looking very excited, but in fact she didn't believe a word of it.

She is not stupid!

Not to mention the current power of the official family, the Queen Mother is already declining.

Not only are I related to the Sheng family by marriage, but I am also related to Prince Huan and the Guan family. How can I be compared to the Queen Mother just by talking about it?

If you stumble once, you can still say that you didn't notice. It would be foolish to stumble twice in the same place.

After Princess Pingning left, the Queen Mother called Concubine Liu again.

Earlier, officials advocated diligence and frugality to save palace expenses, and even Concubine Liu Guifei and the young prince were no exception.

Concubine Liu was so angry that she could do nothing.

In fact, if she had not given birth to one of the only sons of the official family, the official family would not have named her a noble concubine.

Concubine Liu saw that her and her son's expenses had been cut a lot, but she saw that Mo Lan looked glamorous every time she entered the palace, and even Princess Dening lived comfortably.

This made her even more resentful.

She hates the emperor's partiality!

He kept saying that he wanted to cut expenses, but in fact, he secretly subsidized Princess Dening and said that the expenses of Prince Huan's Palace did not need to be changed.

Of the three children, the emperor favored two. Could it be that his own son was not the emperor’s biological son? !

Concubine Liu was dissatisfied. When the Queen Mother found out, she proposed to take the little prince to Baoci Palace to raise him.

He also fooled Concubine Liu and took her under his control.

no way.

Who told officials not to be beautiful?

The concubines in the palace are basically old people from Yuzhou.

Except for Concubine Liu, who was slightly favored by factors, everyone else was like an invisible person, and it was extremely difficult to see the official family.

What the officials valued most was the queen.

Whenever there was a second choice, the Queen Mother would not choose the stupid Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu was so stupid that she couldn't even understand the Queen Mother's slightly mysterious words.

The Queen Mother needed to break it down word by word, crush it and tell it to her, so that she could understand what the Queen Mother meant.

The Queen Mother also felt deeply powerless towards Concubine Liu, but she also felt that having such an undercover agent beside Concubine Liu to give the officials a pillow blow was better than nothing.

Nowadays, the official family is powerful, but if you think carefully, you will find that most of them are the power of King Huan.

The Queen Mother does not believe that the Tian family has a true father-son relationship.

As the official is the emperor, does he really have no grudges against the powerful King Huan?

The Queen Mother taught Concubine Liu Guifei how to speak and asked her to alienate the relationship between father and son in front of the officials.

Concubine Liu was a little worried: "My lord, it's not that I haven't done anything, it's because the officials don't believe me! Every time I mention the fact that King Huan is powerful, the officials will reprimand me. I'm really..."

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips curled up into a smile: "If you tell him once today, he won't believe it. If you tell him again tomorrow, he won't believe it. But if you say it too much, even if he doesn't believe it, it will leave a trace in his heart. That's enough. Besides... you're afraid... What? No matter what, you have given birth to a prince for the emperor, and he will not do anything to you even for Yong'er's sake. Besides..."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and smiled: "If he really didn't believe it, how could he just scold you a few words and get over it?"

Concubine Liu suddenly realized it, and instantly assured the Queen Mother as if she had been given a shot of chicken blood: "Don't worry, Madam! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

The Queen Mother's dark eyes were full of depth and meaning.

On the other hand, Princess Pingning left the palace and went straight to Prince Huan's Mansion, asking to see Mo Lan.

After meeting Mo Lan, she behaved respectfully, not daring to act like an elder at all, and told everything that happened when she was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother.

Mo Lan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I understand what my aunt means. Don't worry, aunt, our two families are related by marriage. How can I not believe in the Duke of Qi's government? Besides, my sixth brother-in-law has been studying in the Sheng family since he was a child. How can the relationship between our two families be so obvious to outsiders?" shallow?"

Princess Pingning felt relieved when she heard this.

Princess Huan's attitude all shows her trust in her family.

Also, my son married Princess Huan’s sister. This is an unbreakable relationship!

Mo Lan comforted Princess Pingning a few more words, and her attitude was friendly, so Princess Pingning returned home happily.

After Mo Lan sent Princess Pingning away, she sat in the study for a long time.

She tapped her fingers on the desk, thinking about how to treat the Queen Mother.

In fact, it is not difficult to silence the Queen Mother. Mo Lan has many ways to silence the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother here seems to be shrewd, but in fact she is just mediocre.

The reason why we were able to compete with the officials in the first place was simply due to righteousness.

The Queen Mother represents orthodoxy and filial piety.

Therefore, if the officials want to compete with her, they can only use tepid methods.

If the method is too harsh and cruel, it will lose justice and lose the hearts of the courtiers.

It would make the courtiers feel that the officials were unkind and forced the Queen Mother to be a childless old man.

That's why the Queen Mother kept jumping and trying to figure it out.

From Mo Lan's point of view, she had many ways to deal with the Queen Mother.

You can arrange a seamless accident to cause trouble to the Queen Mother, or you can drug the other party to die without any evidence.

Although some people will definitely have doubts, so what?

But Mo Lan was hesitant.

Do you really want to attack so harshly?

In fact, if you think about it seriously, this world belongs to the late emperor. The official family just inherits the family business through adoption.

If he really killed the Queen Mother, from another perspective, it would be equivalent to a widow having to adopt a descendant to inherit the family business after her husband died. As a result, the two had a confrontation because of their different ideas about running the family business, and were later killed by the stepson's daughter-in-law.

Looking at it this way...it seems too much.

Mo Lan thought about it again and again, and finally gave up the plan of causing an accident.

Perhaps it was in this life that I received the sincerity of Lin Xiaoniang, the old lady, Zhao Ceying and the little sisters.

Mo Lan's heart became much softer in this life.

Of course, she would still show no mercy to those who really wanted to harm her.

But for someone like the Queen Mother, she finally gave up her plan to kill her.

Besides, the officials in the play didn't do anything to the Queen Mother, and allowed her to live in peace and contentment.

Regardless of whether the officials are pretending to be fake or not, at least their methods are not that ruthless.

Mo Lan didn't want to appear too harsh.

However, it was not Mo Lan's character to leave the Queen Mother alone.

Mo Lan narrowed her eyes.

She didn't want to kill the Queen Mother, but what if the Queen Mother had no energy to compete with the officials, such as being paralyzed, or missing arms and legs.

After all, if you really want to say that the Queen Mother is a good person, you can't really say that.

If the Queen Mother was really good, palace changes would not happen.

He even ordered that if the ministers did not enter the palace, they would be killed without mercy.

And after the failure, when the officials asked her to go out of the city to recuperate, the Queen Mother could not suppress her surprised expression.

This shows that the Queen Mother sincerely wanted to kill the officials when the coup occurred. That's why I was surprised that the officials would let me go.

Since you want to kill the officials, don't you want to kill Zhao Ceying?

It can be seen that one cannot be too soft-hearted towards the Queen Mother.
