Chapter 322: Persuading Concubine Li, the plan begins
"I'm giving you a piece of advice. Although this incident has passed, I advise you to keep a low profile in the future."
"Time will dilute everything, and the emperor will slowly forget about this matter."
Don't be fooled by the Queen again.
"Yes, Concubine Li, Concubine Xuan is right."
Concubine Jing also nodded in agreement.
It turns out that Concubine Li has no ability to fight in the palace, so it is better for her to be honest.
"But Third Prince."
After Concubine Li died once, her mind became much clearer. She also knew that she should keep a low profile after this incident and not arouse the emperor's disgust again, but she was still worried that the third prince would be disliked by the emperor.
"As for the Third Prince, you don't have to worry too much. Although the Third Prince is your son, he is also the Emperor's child. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How could the Emperor really dislike the Third Prince?"
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled faintly and spoke to comfort him.
"As long as you are fine, the Third Prince will be fine. If you are really gone, the Third Prince, who has lost his mother, will probably not have such a good life."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Concubine Li meaningfully and spoke.
Concubine Li did not expect that the seemingly cold Concubine Xuan was actually warm-hearted and would patiently comfort her so much. She felt somewhat touched.
No wonder the emperor dotes on Concubine Xuan so much. Concubine Xuan is indeed a kind person.
She was extremely grateful at this moment that she did not lose her mind and attack Concubine Xuan.
Thinking of this, there was a hint of guilt in Concubine Li's eyes when she looked at Concubine Xuan.
"Concubine Xuan, Concubine Jing, and Noble Lady An, thank you for coming to see me. I will not do anything stupid again in the future."
Naturally, the Queen also came to visit Concubine Li later, but unlike the consolation from Concubine Xuan and others, Concubine Li always felt that what the Queen said was a little strange.
Moreover, as she lay in bed and carefully recalled what the Queen had said to her, she felt more and more that the other party was deliberately inducing her to die.
After all, a concubine committing suicide is a serious crime. Wouldn’t the queen be aware of this?
After figuring this out, Concubine Li's eyes changed when she looked at the Queen.
She thought that perhaps the queen was not as virtuous as she had imagined.
She knew that she was not in a good mental state, so she decided to go to the Queen's Palace less often in the future and not do anything that would affect the Third Prince.
From then on, Concubine Li began to live in seclusion. Even if the Queen took the initiative to look for her, she would not speak if possible, and she ignored everything the Queen said.
The Queen was a little confused by Concubine Li's change.
Can you grow a brain after dying once?
The Queen looked at Concubine Li's back as she hurriedly left, feeling a little regretful that Concubine Li might not be able to use this knife in the future.
After the storm was over, Fucha Zhixi discovered from a letter sent from the palace that the emperor seemed to be planning to take action against Longkodo, and she thought she should take action as well.
It is better to deal with the Queen Mother as soon as possible, so that after she finds out that the Queen's position is unstable, she will not issue an imperial edict to depose the Queen.
After receiving the signal to take action, the Fucha Mansion did not delay at all.
The next day, everyone in the capital knew that Longkodo had insulted his wife and turned her into a human pig in order to please his concubine.
After all, there is no shortage of soil for the spread of such shocking gossip.
Soon the news spread to the palace, and the emperor was shocked when he heard the news.
After all, he knew that Longkodo favored his concubine, but he did not expect that he would treat his wife like this.
But this was a good thing for him. He had been planning to deal with Longkodo, and now he could use this incident as a legitimate reason to do so.
Once this happened, the people of the Hesheli family would naturally not give up so easily. What Longkodo did was tantamount to trampling on their entire family. They would certainly not let Longkodo go easily.
Other ministers in the court who understood the emperor's intentions also took the opportunity of this incident to submit memorials, intending to ask the emperor to punish Longkodo.
In order to stabilize Longkodo at this moment, the emperor naturally would not take action against Longkodo directly. Instead, he pretended to protect him and attributed everything to his family affairs, thus shutting up the mouths of the court officials.
But how could the Hesheli family give up like this? Seeing that the emperor had no intention of punishing Longkodo, they compromised and asked to bring Hesheli back home for treatment.
Seeing this, the emperor had no choice but to agree to this matter, and even generously gave an order to let Hesheli and Longkodo divorce, which made the people of Hesheli's family grateful and tearful for a while.
Longkodo was also very satisfied with this. He didn't like anyone taking Si'er's position. Now that this woman was gone, he could legitimately make Si'er his wife.
The emperor felt very happy when he saw the grateful eyes of the Hesheli family below. However, if he could gain the loyalty of a family in exchange for an edict, why not do it?
After hearing the news, the Queen Mother was completely dumbfounded. She didn't believe that Longkodo would do such a thing.
She didn't expect that Longkodo would indulge this concubine to this extent. Did Longkodo really care about this concubine?
Fu Cha Zhixi watched with great satisfaction as things developed in the direction she wanted.
Seeing that the Queen Mother claimed to be ill again, Fu Cha Zhixi knew that it was time to start the second step of the plan.
The second step was also very simple, which was to tell the emperor the news that the empress dowager and the favorite concubine were very similar, but not to make it known to everyone, as this would easily arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Yangxindian
"What did you say? Say it again?"
The emperor angrily threw the beads in his hand onto the table, stared fiercely into Xia Qi's eyes and spoke.
Xia Qian was so frightened that his face turned pale and he secretly groaned in his heart, what on earth was going on?
He really didn't want to get involved in the royal family's privacy, but as the leader of the Guillotines, if such things were to be heard by others, he would probably die a more miserable death.
You should know that a few days ago, he was punished by the emperor for not reporting to the emperor in advance that Longkodo favored his concubine and killed his wife.
Xia Qian carefully presented Li Si'er's portrait to the emperor, not daring to say another word.
Naturally, this portrait was the one that Fu Chafu had carefully retouched, making the original 60% similarity become 80%.
The emperor took the portrait and took a closer look. Sure enough, she looked 80% similar to the empress dowager. He was so angry that veins bulged in his temples.
He had never hated Longkodo so much.
They actually dared to humiliate the Queen Mother of a country and the royal family in this way. It is obvious that they had already had the intention of being disloyal.
"How did you learn this?"
The emperor looked at Xia Qian and spoke in a cold tone.
"I also heard from the reports of my subordinates that ever since the last incident became known to everyone in the capital, some people have wanted to know how beautiful this concubine was to make Longkodo love her so much, so someone bribed the servants in the Tong Mansion and made such a portrait."
