Unable to find the Queen Mother, the group of concubines had no choice but to return without success.
But they also knew that the trust the Empress Dowager had in the Queen would be useless if they saw it.
Moreover, the Queen Mother has indeed rarely taken care of things.
Naturally, Yin Ruhua had heard about these thoughts of the concubines in the harem, but she didn't pay much attention to them.
Because her mother-in-law is not in the palace now, where can they find her?
Of course, Yin Ruhua only knew that her mother-in-law was not in the palace. As for where her mother-in-law had gone, she had no idea.
Didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, as long as my mother-in-law is safe, that's enough.
As for other questions that shouldn't be asked, don't ask her too much. After all, she won't be able to help you much.
However, I don’t know since when, there were rumors outside the palace that the royal twins were unknown.
After Situ Ji found out about this, he went to the court to express his anger.
"My dragon son, who dares to say that it is unknown and who dares to say that it is not auspicious? This is someone deliberately spreading rumors to disrupt the foundation of our Great Yong Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, many courtiers naturally stood up and agreed.
Of course, some courtiers did think so.
If they are twins, because both sons came out of the queen's belly and were born on the front and back legs, it will be difficult to be convinced when they grow up.
So it is easy for gaps and fights to arise.
However, there is really no basis for the unknown matter.
Moreover, now the emperor is furious and has sent people to start a thorough investigation into the matter. This is a serious matter of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!
And soon it was discovered that some magicians in the world were spreading rumors, and he was immediately punished with the very severe torture of being quartered on five horses.
Moreover, Situ Ji also promulgated the theory that twins are auspicious.
The previous dynasty, which regarded the twins as unlucky, had already destroyed the country and was replaced by the Great Yong Dynasty!
And precisely because of Situ Ji's actions, many people began to secretly speculate that the Empress's pregnancy might be twins.
If not, how could the emperor be so aggressive in building momentum?
But no one dares to stand up and say anything, not because they think they have a long life!
Of course, people in the harem also heard about it.
For example, Concubine Wan, who was in solitary confinement, heard the news, and she couldn't help but feel jealousy on her face.
Her child was lost inexplicably, but the queen was able to have two children at one fell swoop. How could she feel in her heart?
She is obviously the emperor's woman, why can she get all the emperor's favor and trust?
"Just because she entered the palace first when the emperor was sick, the emperor treated her differently, but the emperor didn't even think about it. When the Yinhou Mansion was granted a marriage, did she dare not to marry? I don't think so.
I believe that she was willing to enter the Prince's Mansion in the first place. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!" Concubine Wan said through gritted teeth.
She is in solitary confinement on her own, but that doesn't mean she is convinced.
She is obviously a beautiful daughter from the palace of Wang Taishi, so what does she mean by a queen? A concubine born from an aunt is extremely despicable.
But now she is above everyone else. How can she be convinced by this?
When the maid saw her master acting like this, she quickly whispered: "Your Majesty, we can't do anything else now. The next time, Grand Master Wang's Mansion won't be able to protect your Majesty."
There was a hint of bitterness in Concubine Wan's eyebrows.
Yes, if there is a next time, Wang Taishi's Mansion won't be able to save her.
She really didn't expect that all the things she had done could not be hidden from the emperor, and the emperor had known about it for a long time!
So in the emperor's heart, what would he think of himself?
Is there still a chance for me to regain my favor?
I'm afraid it won't happen. The emperor's eyes when he looked at her were extremely cold, as if she was an insignificant existence and he didn't have any extra affection at all!
"Did I take the wrong path from the beginning? Concubine Li is very smart, and now she has established a firm foothold in this palace." Concubine Wan couldn't help but said softly.
"My Majesty, please don't think like this. People are different. How can they all walk the same path? My Majesty, just stay quiet for a few days and wait until the limelight has passed. It won't be too late to go out then. With your Majesty's talent and appearance, the Emperor will not
You will not pamper your empress." The maid comforted her.
Concubine Wan smiled bitterly, "If it were so easy to regain favor, I wouldn't be so jealous of the Queen."
If she had a child by her side, she could use the child to regain her favor, but now that she has nothing, why should she regain her favor?
Why should I change the impression in the emperor's mind?
However, Concubine Wan did not dare to do anything else. Her family had already sent her a letter.
Ever since her grandfather, Taishi Wang, was carried back because of her incident last time, his health has been deteriorating.
Grandfather is the talisman of Wang Taishi's Mansion. If something happens to grandfather, then the talisman of Wang Taishi's Mansion will be gone. If she commits another crime, how can Wang Taishi's Mansion protect her?
"Go and send a message to the Queen. From now on, I, Wang Wan, am willing to follow her lead. I can do what Concubine Li can do, too!" Concubine Wan thought for a while and finally said.
The maid was also stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty said so much today, what do you really want?"
Concubine Wan smiled bitterly and said: "What am I thinking about? What else can I think about now? Concubine Li is the smartest one. She has been on the right path from the beginning."
Unlike her, who fought over and over again and ended up with nothing in the end, and her grandfather's reputation was damaged for the rest of his life.
"Your Majesty, this is too unfair." The maid said softly.
Concubine Wan shook her head, "Aggrieved? What do I have to feel wronged about? Besides, the Queen may not necessarily like me."
The maid was stunned for a moment, "Then the empress is..."
"I have to let the queen know that I have given up on that idea now. If she can use me, I will have room to gain a foothold." Concubine Wan's eyes were clear.
She knew that the queen was her last chance.
It's just a pity that Yin Ruhua didn't intend to give her this opportunity.
Ever since she dared to attack her own daughter, she would not let Concubine Wan go easily.
So after getting the news, Yin Ruhua just sneered. Maybe she was too tolerant as a queen, which made Concubine Wan feel that she would forgive her.
Yin Ruhua also told her to let Concubine Wan recuperate in her palace!
No, Concubine Wan fell ill within a few days, and she was so lingering that she couldn't leave the bed.
This makes Concubine Wan's face look extremely white. She has provoked the Queen after all. Does the Queen want her life?
"Ask someone to invite Concubine Li to come over!" Concubine Wan said quickly.
Concubine Li was also invited over quickly, "If Concubine Wan doesn't take good care of her health, what's the point of asking me to come here?"
