The empress sneered, "First make me sick, and then find someone to cure her. This will win the hearts of the ministers and establish prestige. It will also force me to use her more and not weaken her, otherwise it will be unkind."
The eldest princess suddenly broke into a cold sweat, "How can you be so cunning and scheming at such a young age?"
Then he thought of the person in front of him who stood out when a group of wolves were fighting each other and ended up missing out.
At such a young age, she is a tiger mother and a dogless girl!
"Then what does Your Majesty want?" The eldest princess couldn't help but feel a sense of respect and fear.
The empress said: "I would like to ask the eldest sister to step forward on my behalf and work around a lot to give Xiao'er more strength. If she is appointed as the crown princess, she will not be too weak and weak."
This is the person who created the question teaching his subordinates how to take sides and cheat!
The eldest princess wanted to curse. Whenever there was a change of throne, the ministers always thought of taking sides. If they stood in the right direction, there would be huge profits. If they stood in the wrong direction, there would be piles of corpses.
It is really a blessing to have the emperor talk to you like this at night and tell you the answer.
But this is clearly pitting her against Princess Qin. Is that a master who is easy to mess with?
The eldest princess has always wanted to be neutral. Although Shen Mingzhu is good with her daughter, this has nothing to do with herself as the eldest princess, and it will not worsen the relationship between the eldest princess's mansion and Princess Qin.
But openly supporting Princess Xiao is different.
Princess Qin is so treacherous, I'm afraid she can guess what she's doing if she just says a few words.
Is this really good?
But the emperor has given her unlimited trust and expectations. If she refuses, I'm afraid it won't be so good.
It's really a dilemma.
The eldest princess tentatively said: "Perhaps Your Majesty is overly concerned. Even though she is smart, she may not be so rebellious and unfilial. Your Majesty has already valued her so much, so she will not have any objections. Besides, if she is really suitable, Your Majesty will tell you at that time."
It may not be impossible to be in her position."
The empress still shook her head and whispered: "The eldest sister doesn't know something. She is afraid that she will want to abdicate me early before I can pass my throne to her."
"She, she dares to force her into the palace?" The eldest princess turned pale.
The empress smiled bitterly, "Even if you don't dare to kill your mother, if you force me to take the Zen position, it is still possible. So I let Xiao'er be in charge of the safety of the palace and let her help handle the government affairs."
The eldest princess completely understood, and she said solemnly: "If this is the case, then I have to ask Your Majesty to give Shang Fang the sword and the secret decree."
The empress looked happy, as long as the eldest princess was willing to cooperate, it would be much better.
Her face became a little brighter, "Don't worry, eldest sister, not only will I give you the Shangfang Sword, but I will also give you the elixir book and the iron certificate of the eldest princess's mansion. Even I myself can't do any harm to the eldest princess's mansion. In this way, eldest sister can
rest assured?"
The eldest princess laughed and said, "That's the best."
The empress waved, and a confidant female official came out with a long red sandalwood box covered with yellow silk. Inside was a square of iron coupons for the alchemy book. Half of it was given to the eldest princess, and the other half was kept in the palace to prevent forgery.
In addition to the Alchemy Book and Iron Coupon itself, there will also be Huang Ling's imperial edict to explain this. In short, the procedures are complete. Even if it is not made public, when it is taken out, it can be checked from the Palace Archives Department.
And the officials in the Archives Department are also witnesses.
What's more, it is only natural that the empress awards the award to the eldest princess. In view of the eldest princess's fierce fighting power, no one in the court dares to oppose it.
