At this moment, the palace was silent at night, with only the occasional crows' calls.

The Queen Mother took a sip of the hot tea, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she nodded with satisfaction.

"You are smart for once. It is worth my years of planning for you."

The Queen stopped massaging the Queen Mother's shoulders, turned around and came to the Queen Mother, then served her another cup of tea.

"Aunt, in this case, we really can't keep Lady Yu. She has really woven a big net tonight...

She almost succeeded, luckily the second girl from the Lin family is also a smart one......"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother snorted again.

"You are so careless now. Aren't you afraid that the girl from the Lin family will follow her mother's old path?"

After hearing this, the queen shrugged expressionlessly.

"Now that Xuan'er is this old, Ling'er has already let it go...

It doesn't matter where the emperor's heart is, as long as Ling'er is still the queen, as long as Xuan'er can ascend to the throne one day, nothing else matters...

Besides, the life of the second daughter of the Lin family is in our hands, so I don’t think she would dare to do anything reckless…”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded expressionlessly.

"I haven't asked you just now, but I heard that Xuan'er asked the emperor for permission yesterday, requesting to personally lead the troops to attack the Northern Kingdom, and the emperor also came to ask for my opinion yesterday.

I cannot interfere too much in front of the emperor, but from what the emperor said, he does want to let Xuan'er go to the war.

Have you tried to persuade Xuan'er at this moment? As long as Xuan'er opens his mouth, I will risk my old face to make the emperor take back his decision.

You only have Xuan'er as a child, and in the future, our Zhou family can only rely on Xuan'er, so the position of crown prince can only belong to Xuan'er."

The queen was seen pondering for a moment, her expression unclear but her eyes revealed a cold murderous intent. Then the queen spoke slowly.

"Aunt, what should we do with the eldest prince and Ping An?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't hide the look of disgust on her face, and she spoke in a mocking tone.

“When you wanted to adopt Ping An, I warned you that it was difficult to raise a child of an outsider, especially since half of her blood was from the Western Regions.

She was probably already colluding with the eldest prince, and must have done a lot of things for them behind the scenes over the years.

Although the emperor tacitly agreed to give you the power to deal with Ping An, she is still nominally your child who you raised yourself. If you go too far, it will give outsiders a handle.

So I thought, it would be a good idea to first pick a third place winner from this year's new ranking list and marry Ping An to him.

Anyway, since ancient times, there have been countless princesses who married the second or third place in the imperial examination, and this will not attract the attention of outsiders.

At that time, I will ask the servants to see if I can tamper with her daily diet, so that she won't die too quickly.

If you want to be more careful, then let her get pregnant as soon as possible...

After all, in the world, giving birth is always a life-or-death situation for a woman, so it all depends on her luck."

After hearing the Queen Mother's long string of words, the Queen couldn't help but feel sorry for Princess Ping'an. After all, it was the Queen who brought up Princess Ping'an.

After all, the Queen had feelings for Princess Ping'an. When she thought of the Princess Ping'an's childhood days when she grew up in her lap, the Queen couldn't bear it.

When the Queen Mother saw this, she immediately guessed what the Queen was thinking from her expression, and immediately spoke with a frown.

"You still have time to pity her? You might as well think about your Xuan Er........

Do you dare to guarantee that the assassination planned by the eldest prince in collusion with the northerners was not plotted by Ping An?

Do you really need to see that group of wolves and tigers devour Xuan'er alive before you can really be cruel? "

The Queen Mother's sharp words finally woke up the Queen completely. The moment when Ye Tingxuan was shot by an arrow and fell off his horse emerged unconsciously in her mind.

This scene seemed to completely tear apart the remaining kindness in the queen's heart...

At this moment the queen finally spoke slowly.

"Aunt, as for where to go safely, I will do as you wish...

But the eldest prince...

Although the emperor was so angry this time, he only imprisoned the eldest prince in his palace and had no intention of punishing him again...

But I really want his life this time..."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother also sighed heavily, and then spoke in a soothing tone.

"No matter what, the eldest prince is the emperor's first child, so the emperor naturally values ​​him more.

Besides, what happened between him and Ping An was at most a royal scandal, not a capital crime.

Fortunately, the eldest prince has no foundation in the court, and some officials who cling to him are all minor officials without exception.

As long as no one in the court speaks up for the eldest prince, I believe it will be difficult for him to come out for a while.

As long as he can't grow out for a while, there is naturally a way to deal with him...

You have to listen to me on this matter. Don't act too hastily, for fear that it will backfire.

I was afraid that if I failed to take action against the eldest prince, it would arouse the emperor's sympathy for him, and then he would soften his heart and release him...

It will be difficult for us to deal with him then......"

After hearing this, the queen was finally moved by the queen mother's well-reasoned words. She gritted her teeth and nodded angrily with reluctance in her heart.

"Well, Auntie's analysis is correct, and Auntie has considered things carefully. Ling'er is willing to listen to Auntie's arrangements."

The Queen Mother nodded contentedly at this moment, then took another sip of tea and asked.

"What do you think we should do with Doctor Jiang and the little maid in your palace tonight?"

After hearing this, the queen finally stopped hesitating.

“They all deserve to die…”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother also asked in a thoughtful manner.

"Then tell me, how did he die?"

The Queen looked at the Queen Mother in confusion and spoke tentatively.

"Being beaten to death? Giving him white silk? Giving him poisoned wine?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother rubbed her forehead helplessly.

"Forget it, I was too fond of you in the past, no wonder that Concubine Yu dared to show off in the palace for so many years...

It seems that you still have a lot to learn right now.

As for Doctor Jiang and your little maid, I have already had them dealt with."
