Princess Maoling was sustained by her hatred to avenge her son, and half of her illness disappeared within a few days.
On this day, I went to the palace with Yao Wanyi to meet the queen.
After greetings and sitting down, the Queen ordered tea to be served.
"Queen, please let Aunt Hui and Manager Liang stay!" Princess Maoling said bluntly.
"It seems that sister-in-law has something to say." The queen winked, and everyone else retreated.
"Empress, we must take revenge." Princess Maoling burst into tears, "Not only for revenge, but also to protect you and the prince."
"What? What happened again?" the queen asked hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, please read this. This is an intercepted letter written by Shen Jingzhi, the governor of Longxi Province, to the fifth prince." Princess Maoling took out a letter from her sleeve.
Liang Xiao quickly took it and handed it to the queen.
The queen read it from beginning to end, frowned and said: "This is really damnable! From the beginning to the end, he has never been convinced by me, and has written more than once, saying that the prince cannot be reused.
If the emperor hadn't said that he had become brothers with the Qiang tribe leader, the border had been peaceful for many years. If he were dismissed or transferred, Longxi would rebel. I also thought that Longxi was far away from the capital, and he would not be able to make a big splash after all. I won’t keep him alive until today!”
"So if we continue to break up, we will inevitably suffer chaos! He is not the only one who can fight in the whole court, Shen Jingzhi!" Princess Maoling said bitterly, "He is proud of himself and willful, and now he wants to push the fifth prince into it. It's really unbelievable. It’s heartbreaking!”
"Sister-in-law, this letter is well cut." The Queen praised, "We can make some fuss about this letter."
"The Empress is aware of this, and my uncle also told me that she plans to write a more explicit letter based on the notes." Princess Maoling said, "Your Majesty, will you be angry after reading this?!"
"Empress, Princess, please allow me to say one more word." Aunt Hui said at the side, "I'm afraid this letter alone is not enough. If there is any disclosure in the middle, it will be counterproductive."
"What mama said is right, we have taken it into consideration. I also heard that the concubine is going to burn incense on the first day of next month, so we will take this opportunity to find some tricks for the concubine Fu and her daughter-in-law." Princess Maoling said, "Called They don’t care about each other internally or externally.”
"What method does sister-in-law plan to use to treat Concubine Fu?" the queen asked.
"Your Majesty, listen to me..." Princess Maoling whispered her plan.
"Poison?" The queen was quite hesitant after hearing this. "The poisoner must be chosen well. He must bribe Concubine Fu or someone close to Lan Ning. But the people over there are not easy to deal with."
If it was really that easy to set up spies in front of Concubine Fu and Lan Ning, the queen would have done it long ago.
"Don't worry, aunt, this person's niece has already made arrangements." Yao Wanyi said with a proud smile, "It's the Chi Su in front of Concubine Fu."
"Oh? Why did you bribe her?" The queen was very surprised.
"How could I have the time to bribe her? It's just that I discovered her shady excuse." Yao Wanyi said, "And I had already asked my father to bring all the Chi family to the capital and put them under house arrest. If she dared not to listen, she would also You have to weigh the lives of your family members!"
Yao Wanyi did not say how embarrassing she had caught Chi Su, because it was about her husband and her face.
"Is this true? Don't be deceived." The queen still couldn't believe it. "The Chi family is notoriously tough."
"Your Majesty, I think I don't need to worry about this. As long as she is poisoned, she will not be able to escape. No matter who she is, she will not be able to escape the charge of poisoning." Princess Maoling said, "Don't worry.
When the time comes, we will also tie her little brother to the temple. If she disobeys, we will cut her little brother's flesh. If we don't believe it, she won't obey."
"Your Majesty, we don't let her know the whole plan, we just ask her to poison her. Once the incident happens, it's enough for her to admit that it was Concubine Fu who instigated it. This will avoid making too many mistakes and letting people see the flaws." Hui Ma
Grandma said.
"Speaking of which, I do have a trump card here." The queen said, "It's just that it's been useless. Now I think it will work together with a chain plan, and I must catch up with Concubine Fu and others!"
The next few people didn't even bother to take a sip of tea, thinking about the details.
The shadow on the window pane moved from the west to the center, and only the remaining smoke remained in the incense burner.
Several people had indescribable smiles on their lips.
"Everything must be successful at the right time, right place and right people. Next month Shen Jingzhi will go to Beijing, the Dowager Empress will burn incense, and my brother has intercepted this letter. It seems that God does not want them to live."
"Empress, that trump card of yours is truly a stroke of genius." Princess Maoling said, "In this case, they will be nothing more than loaches, and they will never be able to escape again!"
"Although the strategy has been agreed upon, you must be careful about what you do and say. You must not let it out, otherwise your success will be in vain." The queen said very vigilantly, "To put it bluntly, just in case,
Even the Concubine Xian and the Sixth Prince are not allowed to know."
"Don't worry, Madam, Wan Yi and I have discussed this in advance and will never let their mother and son know." Princess Maoling said quickly.
Firstly, Yao Wanyi had already said not to let Concubine Xian get involved, and secondly, Princess Maoling also knew that the Queen was suspicious by nature. If something went wrong, she would definitely be suspicious of Concubine Xian and her son, which would not be good for her family.
When the queen heard what Princess Maoling said, she felt relieved.
He said: "After discussing for so long, I think you are also hungry, so let's ask them to pass on the food."
Liang Xiao then not only passed on the meal himself, but also informed the imperial kitchen when the Yao family's mother and daughter entered the palace.
The mother and daughter of the Yao family had a meal in the palace, said goodbye to the queen and left the palace.
They did not enter the palace with Yao Tai today because they were afraid of arousing suspicion, and now they still wanted to tell Yao Tai their planned strategy.
When I returned to the mansion, Yao Tai was not there.
Princess Maoling then sent people to invite him back.
"I'm on patrol in Nanying. What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?" Yao Tai came in with sweat on his face. A maid had already twisted her handkerchief and came forward to wipe his sweat.
"Isn't there something important?" Princess Maoling said, "Please take a sip of tea first and calm down before we talk."
Yao Tai then took off his outer clothes without asking any further questions and drank two cups of tea.
The irrelevant people have been sent away long ago, leaving behind only the closest confidants.
"Today Wan Yi and I went into the palace to see the Queen. We discussed it all morning and decided on a series of plans." Princess Maoling said, "I have called you back urgently because I want you to hear this plan.
But there’s nothing lacking.”
Yao Tai was also very interested when he heard it and asked: "What is it?"
Princess Maoling said everything in detail.
Yao Tai listened carefully to the plan from beginning to end, and then lowered his head and pondered for a while.
Yao Wanyi, mother and daughter, just stared at him, not daring to express their anger.
After a long time, Yao Tai raised his head, slammed the table and said, "Sure enough, it's a good plan!"
