In the end, she came to the conclusion that the people around her were still safe, because they were all brought up by her since childhood, and Princess Qin could not win them over so easily.
After all, the empress is not a child or an ordinary person. Even if she is panicked for a while, it is just complaints and shock in her heart, and she will soon recover to the point where nothing can be seen from the outside.
She found her most loyal secret guard and asked him to strengthen the guards around her. Although the Phantom was temporarily in charge of Princess Qin, she still controlled the secret guards in the harem herself.
Thinking of this, the empress took another reassurance and was no longer so scared.
It was already late at night and she didn't fall asleep. For the first time, she didn't ask anyone to accompany her to bed. Instead, she stared at the tent ceiling and thought about things.
Until the next day when Princess Qin came to pay her respects, she miraculously returned to her previous appearance. It seemed that there was no estrangement or suspicion between her and Princess Qin, and they were still so harmonious.
Princess Qin's face has also healed. Although there are still some marks, the swelling has at least subsided, and even after applying powder, nothing can be seen.
The empress didn't even ask anything about the Phantom. She also asked about Princess Qin's body and asked several other questions. She also wanted Princess Qin to help her share more of the government affairs of the court.
For example, some memorials that the empress herself cannot see through are somewhat important but not critical. If she is worried about handing them over to others and cannot see through them herself, then she can show them to her own princes and princesses.
This is what is called participating in politics.
Princess Xiao has not received such treatment yet.
Princess Qin was overjoyed when she heard this. She originally wanted to explain it carefully to see if the emperor had any doubts about her.
Looking at it this way, my doubts were dispelled.
However, the empress did not show partiality and handed over the guarding affairs of the palace to Princess Xiao as prime minister.
The empress's reason was, "Qin'er, you are very strategic and thoughtful, and you handle political affairs like a fish in water. Xiao Yatou doesn't like to study, but likes to play with swords and sticks. Let her do some serious work and win her heart."
Since ancient times, emperors have entrusted the defense of the palace to trusted generals, but the family background and position of the generals were not too high.
After all, the emperor wanted to keep him firmly in his hands.
Princess Qin was relieved. There was nothing strange about the emperor. He didn't seem to be doubting her but deliberately covering it up, because in that case, the flaw would be exposed.
"Qin'er, the man next to you must be Xiao Xian from Qin State." The emperor glanced at her and his eyes flashed slightly.
In fact, everyone has known about this issue for a long time, but the empress never mentioned it, and she also felt that if Xiao Xian really broke with Qin, it would be good to be his son-in-law.
But if Princess Qin relies on such means to keep Xiao Xian close to her, then the empress will naturally murmur. After all, as long as someone has means that are superior to others and may control other people's minds, then normal people will
Fearful.
What's more, she is still the emperor.
The emperor is most afraid that others will threaten his throne, even if it is possible!
Seeing the emperor's question, Princess Qin smiled and said: "Mom, it's true that she knows everything. But don't worry, mother, he has broken with the Qin Dynasty and will not harm us for the sake of the Qin Dynasty. Now he is just an ordinary man. I still hope.
