The Empress Dowager was still angry, but she had to recognize the reality and calm down.
She originally wanted to use Lin Mi's marriage to Meng Jia to contain Meng Jia so that he could be used by her.
It was good now that Meng Jia was about to enter the capital, but Lin Mi was trying to kill himself.
It doesn't matter that Lin Mi is dead, but it makes her big things difficult to handle.
"Although she did not like Meng Jia's favor before, she still got married, supported his parents-in-law, and kept her filial piety. Meng Jia would not do anything to her.
Even if he takes a concubine in the future, it will not compare to her position as a head wife, and we will not suffer any loss. Now that she is dead, should I still give this authority to Meng Jia in vain?"
Aunt Ying said calmly: "The matter has come to this, there is no way out, we still have to cooperate with General Meng. As for the position of the head wife, Miss Mi is not the only girl in the Lin family, so we can test General Meng's sincerity."
Among high-ranking families, in order to ensure their interests, there are many who ask their younger sisters to be their successors after their older sisters die.
If Meng Jia agrees to remarry the Lin family, it means that he is sincerely willing to cooperate with the Lin family.
If he refuses, it's not too late to put him aside.
"Ok, deal!"
The Empress Dowager was someone who wanted to do big things, so she immediately made the decision, "You will go out of the palace later to find my brother and tell him what I mean. In addition, let him restrain his little wife. Don't stay here."
Add more trouble to me at the critical moment!"
The Empress Dowager's words about "little sweet wife" are extremely ironic.
She really looked down on Mrs. Lin and her daughter, but what could be done.
"Yes." Aunt Ying whispered: "Is this the end of the matter?"
The Queen Mother said calmly: "What do you think?"
Aunt Ying lowered her eyes and said: "After all, she is also my niece. I suffered and was bullied in the past. There was nothing I could do about it. Now that I have the opportunity, there is no reason to ignore her.
Otherwise, some people might think that you are easy to bully, and they will slap you in the face... My idea is that General Meng is about to return to Beijing, so he must give him an excuse."
Under what circumstances can Meng Jia appear in Beijing with his troops without being resented and questioned by others for deserting the battle and neglecting his duties?
Of course, there is a big problem with the survival of the country. The heir to the throne, the Empress Dowager Shen and others, are at stake. It is treason to establish the longevity king.
Only if the Empress Dowager Shen dies, it is possible for the Empress Dowager to listen to politics behind the curtain and hold the power.
The Empress Dowager thought for a long time and said: "Yes."
Aunt Ying bowed meekly and bowed out, then raised her head, a trace of resentment and ferocity flashed across her face.
She will never forget the time when Empress Dowager Shen broke into Shou'an Palace, gave Lin Mi medicine, forced her to kneel for a long time, and the humiliation and torture she suffered during the long years of confinement.
Aunt Ying didn't know that behind her, Queen Mother Shen was looking at her back indifferently, with a look that could see through everything.
Lin Mi died, but the Lin family made no unnecessary noise or action other than reporting the crime and having people thoroughly investigate the murderer.
This surprised Mu Yunhan. At the same time, a deep uneasiness haunted her like a ghost. It would appear from time to time, making people uneasy.
She mentioned this worry to Queen Mother Shen: "I always feel that something bad will happen."
Empress Dowager Shen was more open-minded: "If the situation worsens, the country will be destroyed. I have already determined that I will die, so I am not afraid.
As for you, when the contract is signed and His Majesty and I are safe, you can go back to the Priest's Palace.
After all, it is better to stay safe and comfortable at home than to stay in the palace. It is not good to have your life and safety in the hands of others."
