If the late emperor was able to choose the Tao family, then the Tao family would naturally have a place in their sights.
Tao's father resigned six months ago due to physical discomfort. He was silent for a while and asked, "Mingran, what do you think?"
"Da Qi cannot fall into the hands of Yan Chu." Tao Mingran said firmly, "This man has evil intentions and evil means."
Although she never seems to be involved in politics and rarely expresses her own opinions, she looks like an invisible person.
At least Yan Chu didn't take her to heart, she was too sensible and silent.
In fact, after the last purge, the entire harem was completely under her control.
Yan Chu and Liu Zi were creating trouble in the harem to confuse the emperor. She knew everything about it, but after weighing it, she chose to remain silent.
The fate of the Tutor proved that her silence was right, the Emperor was hopeless.
"I understand, I will find a way." Tao's father promised.
Tao Mingran breathed a sigh of relief, she still believed in her father's abilities.
Yan Chu dominated the government and ruled out dissidents. People from the Yan family came to Beijing one after another, and their ambitions were undisguised.
Before he could be proud, rumors spread.
The saying "Yan family is a thief of the country" is very popular.
Yan Chu exposed, "Who is spreading rumors outside?"
The subordinate knelt on the ground, "The rumors first came from Jiangling, and then spread to various places. It is difficult to verify."
The so-called Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng even published a booklet called "Secrets of the Yan Family", which detailed the history of the Yan family.
Casting a wide net, squeezing treasures, women and elixirs...it tells about the various methods used by the Yan family to rise to power, mixed with some erotic history, which makes people more and more addicted as they read.
As soon as the book came out, the veil of the Yan family, which had been mysterious just now, was instantly torn off, revealing the most disgusting side of themselves.
The reputation of Yan Chu and the Yan family fell to the bottom.
The vassal kings and those with military power in various places took this opportunity to proclaim themselves kings and shouted the slogan "Qing Jun Side".
Yan Chu was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, "All the efforts were in vain..."
He was obviously only one step away from that position. After gathering power, he planned to let the emperor die of illness and he would take the top position.
If there is such a commotion now, as soon as the emperor's front leg dies, he will immediately become a traitor who will be killed by everyone.
"The head of the family goes to the palace to stabilize His Majesty. As long as he doesn't think you are a traitor, everything will turn around." The Yan family's counselor advised.
When Yan Chu entered the palace, he brought a woman with him, who was the youngest daughter of the Yan family and his twelfth sister.
Yan Chu went to Changle Palace without any hindrance, knelt down and said to the emperor, "I am guilty."
The emperor's eyes were on Yan Rui's delicate and beautiful face, and he couldn't bear to look away.
"Who is she?" asked the emperor.
Yan Chu said, "My twelfth sister, an expert once divined for her when she was born and said that she had an excellent destiny and was a blessed person."
The emperor has become more and more convinced and obsessed with these things recently. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you a blessed person?"
"Then I want a child, can she give it to me?"
Yan Chu lowered his head, "It would be her blessing to give birth to an heir."
Then the emperor summoned the female doctor who was the best at this. After checking Yan Rui's pulse, the female doctor said, "She has a rare constitution that is extremely easy to conceive, and her body is in excellent condition."
The emperor's eyes lit up, "Then do I have hope?"
The doctor woman said tremblingly, "That's the theory."
The emperor was overjoyed and immediately decreed that Yan Rui should be made the concubine of Yan.
As for the matter of Yan Chu, I don’t know what he really thought about it. He didn’t mention it a word and still left the government affairs to him.
Yan Chu breathed a sigh of relief after sending the person away. Yan Rui was a woman the Yan family had trained strictly since she was a child. She was also one of the Yan family's trump cards. She didn't expect it to be wasted here.
According to Yan Chu's original plan, he was planning to secure the throne by himself, while Yan Rui was kept for other purposes.
Sure enough, after Yan Rui entered the palace, she was the only one favored. The emperor almost doted on her, and Yan Rui was also very clever. The emperor gave her the right to assist in the harem.
The young and beautiful Yan Rui knelt in front of Tao Mingran and asked her for power with the emperor's password.
Tao Mingran did not embarrass her, "Since it is His Majesty's order, I will naturally obey it."
"Han Shanggong, you and Yan Fei's people, please hand over the account books and keys."
The queen agreed so happily that Concubine Yan looked at her curiously.
Being able to secure her position in the harem under such circumstances. Yan Rui did not dare to look down upon her, nor did she think she was easy to deal with.
"If I do something wrong, please give me some advice."
Tao Mingran could hardly suppress the feeling of nausea in his heart, and said angrily, "I can't teach Concubine Yan. I'm tired, please step aside."
Concubine Yan hit a wall and retreated with half of the palace power she had just obtained.
"Mother, what should we do?" Grandma said anxiously.
In the several years since Tao Mingran entered the palace, this was the first time that someone had interfered with the power of the harem.
"Why are you panicking? You have to suppress it once you get it." Tao Mingran said confidently, "Pass the word forward and cooperate with her no matter what she does. Don't let her get caught."
Although she had never been tempted by the emperor, she had always seen it clearly and soberly, but at this moment she felt heartbroken.
No matter what, she tried her best to be a good queen and manage the harem for him, but he easily took away half of her palace power.
On the battlefield of the harem, it is very fatal for the queen to lose her palace power.
"Concubine Yan, she is so strong, I'm afraid she is here for you." the female officer reminded.
The Yan family has changed their strategy and sent a child who can give birth to a child.
"After giving birth to a prince and ascending to the throne, the former court Yan Chu has the power, and the harem Yan Rui has succeeded in ascending to the throne. The Yan family really has a good idea." Tao Mingran sneered.
The people in the main hall were silent. If this was true, then the queen Tao Mingran would have to be eliminated.
"The key is, is your Majesty really still able to give birth?" the female officer said softly.
Tao Mingran sighed, "The Yan family has some evil sects. Since people have been sent in, naturally there is a way..."
The Yan family is very skilled in evil ways. At least in making the emperor addicted to six colors, they used many evil methods as far as she knew.
The emperor seems to have lost his mind, and it is basically impossible to completely wake up.
Those elixirs were also given to the emperor, who was already addicted and couldn't live without them.
"Then what are we going to do?" Mommy asked worriedly.
Tao Mingran's eyes sharpened, "Since she wants to play, let's play with her."
Anyway, as it is now, she will either die in a palace fight or become the empress of a subjugated country. Tao Mingran has nothing to fear.
The daughter of the Tao family adheres to the principle that I will not offend others unless they offend me, and if someone offends me, I will punish them.
"I, Tao Mingran, am not someone to be trifled with. If she dares to touch me, try it!"
Tao Mingran was also aggrieved enough. Yan Rui insisted on bumping into her, so she would help her!
