In the early morning, Xu Jinyi dressed up and immediately summoned the secret guards.

"I would like to report to the Empress, the Prime Minister's Mansion of Nuo Da and all the low-level officials have been inspected and no problem has been found."

Xu Jinyi knew that things were not that simple.

His Majesty promised to send someone to investigate her mother's matter, but the results were not satisfactory.

It turned out that the maids and servants who were sold were fake, and they were all secretly disposed of.

Now it can only be confirmed that her mother's death is indeed suspicious, but it is not known whether she was imprisoned or where she was imprisoned.

After all, it took so many years and all the people related to the matter were killed, so it was difficult to investigate.

"Keep an eye on the Prime Minister to see if he frequently goes in and out of certain places. If you find anything inappropriate, you must tell me as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Su Mian walked in from outside: "Madam, breakfast is ready. The Prime Minister and the others are waiting."

The prime minister had three days' rest, and now that Xu Jinyi was the empress, breakfast would naturally have to wait until she arrived.

Of course Xu Jinyi could also ask someone to bring it to his yard, but why bother?

Seeing them unhappy was her purpose.

The prime minister and Mr. Wu had livid faces and waited for a long time before Xu Jinyi appeared.

Wu didn't want to come, but there was no reason. If she didn't come, Xu Jinyi would probably say that she had a problem with her being a queen, so she didn't want to eat with her.

This actually gave her the opportunity to punish her.

So even if she felt aggrieved, she had to endure it and greet it with a smile.

The prime minister pulled a face, stood up to greet Xu Jinyi, and bowed in front of Xu Jinyi: "I am here to see you, the queen, and may the queen be blessed and safe."

Mrs. Wu also followed him and bowed.

Wu was very angry. She never thought that one day, she would have to bow down to the cheap girl she raised.

He even has to look at her face to behave.

If she had known this day, she should have been more ruthless and sent this girl to those old ministers when she first showed her talents at the age of ten.

But she made a mistake and sent that bitch's daughter to the emperor cleanly.

How can she deserve to be clean!

Xu Jinyi curled her lips and looked at Wu's face for a long time before speaking: "Get up."

"Where is Xu Youran? What? Don't you want to see me as the queen?"

"Back to the Empress, Youran's injury is quite serious. The doctor said she needed bed rest, so she didn't come out to eat." Wu said through gritted teeth.

"Oh? Is this still my fault?"

"My wife dare not."

Seeing the two people's expressions of tasteless food, Xu Jinyi's appetite increased.

"It turns out that the prime minister's breakfast is meaty. I have been a vegetarian for more than ten years, and I told the emperor that the salary from the imperial court is too small, and I can't even have a meal of meat at home."

"Your Majesty was shocked when he heard this, but he is worried about whether, father, you have included your own salary in doing things for the court."

"I told you that I would check carefully to see how much my father had reversed, so that I could give it back to you in double the amount."

"Your Majesty is so kind to my concubine." Xu Jinyi also sighed.

Hearing these words made the prime minister break into a cold sweat and he almost couldn't sit up in his chair.

"It's all my father's fault. I have handed over the power of the family to your mother over the years. I don't care much about you and I don't know about it at all."

"The Queen has suffered so much for so many years. My father will take back the key to the power of the family and let you, Aunt He, take charge of it."

In fact, besides Wu, there are two other aunts in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, the Wu family was the dominant one, and the other two aunts were suppressed like quails.

Most were sent to Zhuangzi outside Beijing.

It can be said that these two aunts are not the same.

Then in front of Xu Jinyi, he ordered the housekeeper to go to Zhuangzi to bring back the two aunts.

And Wu is only allowed to eat vegetarian food for every meal after that.

After giving the instructions, he looked at Xu Jinyi like a pug: "Mother, do you think this is okay? Your Majesty would like to trouble you to explain, so I won't bother with the manpower to investigate."

Xu Jinyi's expression was indifferent, and she could not tell anything at all: "Your Majesty's decision is not mine."

The Prime Minister choked and his face suddenly turned ugly.

She glanced at the two maids beside her, the aunts and eunuchs in the palace who were all going to have breakfast, and spoke with a sullen face.

"Although I am the queen now, you always need the support of your mother's family when you are in the harem. If your mother's family is not in power, it will not be good for you, right?"

Xu Jinyi put down her chopsticks, took the handkerchief from Su Mian, and wiped the corners of her mouth.

Looking at his father's gloomy face, he raised his eyebrows and said, "My parents' support? Father, are you kidding me?"

"If my natal family becomes powerful, it will not be me who will benefit, but the people who have bullied me since I was a child."

"Don't say silly things like your mother-in-law's support behind me. Would you believe it?"

"If I am not in power, my mother-in-law will be afraid that strangers will be more cruel, and they will want to step on my flesh and blood to get higher."

"Furthermore, if something happens to me, you will definitely break away from me as soon as possible. How can you say that you will stand by my side?"

The prime minister was so angry that his hands were shaking. This daughter had clearly broken away from the family. Even if she became the queen, she could not be expected to help the family.

Now I hate my family even more.

The prime minister’s brows were furrowed, not knowing how to break this deadlock now.

The birth of a queen in the family was originally a great joy, but they went too far before and offended people to death.

Now he only hates why it was this daughter who became the queen.

"Don't you care about your reputation? If something happens to your mother's family, what will others think of you? Can you stand up in the harem again?" Prime Minister Xu stared at Xu Jinyi with sharp eyes.

"I don't need to worry about my father. Since my mother's family has never given me warmth, don't even think about getting any benefits from my influence."

Xu Jinyi had a slight smile on her lips, looking at her father like a winner.

After experiencing this in her previous life, she would not be so foolish as to believe her father's lies.

During the ten years she spent with her brother when she became a spirit body, she had already seen clearly who her father was.

In his heart, except for the pair of children born to Wu, she and her brother had no place in his heart.

As soon as something happened to his brother in his previous life, he immediately expelled him from the family tree and severed ties with him.

Even if his brother is his eldest son, let alone her.

"Mother, are you going?" Su Mian asked.

"I heard that my sister is so injured that she can't even get out of bed, so I'm not allowed to visit her?"

It was true that Xu Youran couldn't get out of bed. She had a high fever last night because of the wound, and she even started talking nonsense.

When I woke up today, I felt quite haggard.

Not to mention going to the ground, the wound on the back hurts even if it is not touched, and he grinned and gasped.

Even breakfast can only be eaten lying down.

"See the Queen."

When Xu Youran heard the sounds outside, her expression immediately changed, and she clutched the pillow tightly with her hands.

I know in my heart that the person who comes is not good.
