The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 296: The Queen's Scheme

Unfortunately, the cat was so frightened at the time that after scratching Concubine Hua's face, it was scared by the rushing crowd and ran into the flowers. Until now, there has been no news of the cat being dealt with.

When the Queen Mother asked this, her heart skipped a beat.

The Queen Mother is not the kind of person who asks without a clue. Since she asked this question, she must know something.

"I have already arranged for someone to go and catch him, but there is still no news."

The queen calmed herself down and insisted on denying it.

"You have to take action for such a small matter. It seems that you are not qualified to be the queen."

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen coldly, her sharp eyes seemed to pierce through the Queen's heart.

This made the queen, who was already feeling guilty, subconsciously look away.

"Bamboo Breath."

The Queen Mother didn't care what the Queen said and called out to the door.

"The servant is here."

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, the Queen Mother is ready."

Zhuxi spoke to the Queen Mother.

Then he walked to the palace gate and waved to the people outside, signaling them to come in quickly.

Soon, a little eunuch came in holding pine nuts.

"Queen, take a good look."

The Queen Mother spoke to the Queen.

The queen subconsciously held her breath and turned to look over.

Zhuxi placed cakes made from flowers that he used to entertain concubines during the day in front of Songzi.

Then he asked a servant in a cotton coat to throw the broken porcelain pieces in his hand to the ground again. As the sound of broken porcelain pieces rang out, Songzi, who had been lying quietly on the ground, suddenly stood up like a cat.

The next second, Matsuko was seen jumping into the hands of the eunuch who made the sound.

The young eunuchs around quickly pulled the cat away, but even so, Matsuko still scratched the young eunuch's arms, leaving bloody marks.

When the queen saw this scene, she felt her heart skip a beat.

How much does the Queen Mother know? Is it possible that she knows everything I have done?

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but tense her body, and for a moment she was afraid to turn around and meet the queen mother's gaze.

The Queen Mother felt even more displeased when she saw the Queen's behavior.

Either don't do it, or if you do it, make sure that no one else can find fault with it.

Sure enough, Yixiu is no match for Chunyuan. She is always petty when doing things and always makes a mess for an old woman like her to clean up.

If the emperor waits until he returns to the palace, he will be able to find out the problem with Yixiu's little trick with just a simple check.

In the past, Yixiu was able to perform these little tricks without being discovered by the emperor, not because her methods were so clever.

Firstly, she was there to clean up the mess for Yixiu, and secondly, the emperor didn't care much about the struggles in the harem. As long as it didn't affect him, he was too lazy to care about these things.

But now this matter has become too big a deal. The emperor will definitely find a way to find out who is behind this. If she doesn't help to clean up the mess, I'm afraid Yixiu will not be able to be saved.

The Ulanara clan doesn't have any promising members nowadays. They finally have a potential scholar, but his talent was ruined by the Nian family. It can't be entirely blamed on Yixiu for being so extreme.

"My Queen Mother, I am unwilling to accept this."

"Why did the Emperor let the Nian family off so easily just because they destroyed the hopes of our Ulanara clan? This is a rare and promising child in our family, and he was ruined just like that."

"My Queen Mother, you know how much pain my son feels."

Upon seeing this, the Queen did not beat around the bush with the Queen Mother and expressed her inner hatred directly and concisely.

"I know you hate me, but aren't you looking for a chance to take revenge?"

"Why did you have to attack Concubine Hua?"

"Nian Gengyao is so powerful now that even the emperor has to avoid him. If you do this, it will be more trouble than gain. You know that the emperor will deal with the Nian family sooner or later, so why do you have to do it yourself?"

The Queen Mother looked at the stubborn Yi Xiu with some anger. She was really troubled by her stubborn temper.

He attacked Chun Yuan without any care just for the child who died of fever, and was so complacent that he thought no one could see through his methods.

If Chunyuan had not cared about the sisterly love between them, how could she have pushed Yixiu to the position of princess even though she knew it was Yixiu who did it when she was dying?

Chunyuan has always felt guilty towards Yixiu, thinking that she had taken her husband away from her.

But Chunyuan already had a childhood sweetheart and a fiancé, so how could she compete for her sister's husband?

It's just that King Xiang has a dream, but the goddess has no intention.

But how can the arm twist stronger than the thigh?

Just like Yang Guifei, did she deliberately abandon the prince who was deeply in love with her and seduce her father-in-law who was so much older than her?

As slaves of the royal family, they had no right to disagree.

(This is written according to the original novel. I don’t want to write Chun Yuan as a bad woman who seduces her brother-in-law. The emperor is the bad guy.)

"Yes, I knew that the emperor would take action against the Nian family sooner or later, so even though Concubine Hua provoked me like that, I never took action against her."

"But now, Concubine Hua, relying on the power of the Nian family, has already attempted to take over the position of Queen that I hold. Why should I continue to endure this?"

"Since we're going to do it sooner or later, what does it matter if it happens sooner?"

The Queen stopped pretending and spoke out her inner thoughts in a cold voice to the Queen Mother.

"My Queen Mother, I am the Queen, but Concubine Hua has never given me any respect and has always coveted the position of Queen. I cannot tolerate this any longer."

"Besides, even if Nian Gengyao loves his sister, the Nian family is not just Nian Gengyao. In order to consolidate their position, the Nian family will sooner or later send another woman into the palace without Concubine Hua."

"In this way, the emperor's original plan can still go on, and the Nian family will also have conflicts with Nian Gengyao because of this matter. At that time, we can find a way to add fuel to the fire from the side, and the Nian family will be able to cause trouble from within."

"Wouldn't it be much easier for His Majesty to deal with the Nian family by then?"

"It seems that you have thought it through before doing this."

The Queen Mother did not expect that the Queen could be so thoughtful, which finally made her feel a little admiration for her.

It seems that the queen was not acting on impulse, but had thought through everything before taking action.

"Of course, I am the Queen and the Emperor's wife. Naturally, I will not ruin the Emperor's plan. After all, only when the Emperor is well can I be well, right?"

The queen smiled slightly, and finally felt a little relieved. It seemed that she had passed the test of the empress dowager.

"Forget it, forget it. I am old now and can't take care of your affairs. You should take care of yourself."

Seeing that it was getting late at night, the Queen Mother was too lazy to continue talking to the Queen. As long as she knew what was going on and didn't anger the Emperor, it would be fine.
