1201, neutral
Zhou Jin was finally so angry that he couldn't help pinching Xu Shu. Xu Shu was in pain and pushed Zhou Jin away, "I'm going to the palace tomorrow, and I'm going to have a break today! You should also go to the palace to do your best. Although you don't want to gain fame, since this will help calm the dissatisfaction of some court officials, don't waste such an opportunity, after all, it's rare!"
Zhou Jin nodded and asked, "The Queen should have summoned you for the sake of the emperor's illness today, and discussed the subsequent countermeasures!"
"The Emperor is still there, and the Zheng family will remain neutral for a day. I will remind the queen to stay calm and not to lose her composure!"
"You will enter the palace tomorrow..." Zhou Jin pursed his lips and reminded, "Be careful of the Queen Mother. No matter what the Queen Mother does, the farther away from her, the better!"
Xu Shu raised her eyebrows and sneered, "It's this time. If the Empress Dowager is still in the mood to target me, it's not worth mentioning!"
"Be careful!"
"knew!"
Xu Shu waved his hand and urged Zhou Jin to leave. Zhou Jin had to leave through the back door. When he had not come back before, he came to find Xu Shu and could only come quietly while the night was quiet and leave quietly. He thought that he would be able to be honest after he was still in the face of the back door, but he didn't expect that he would still be able to go to the back door.
As soon as Zhou Jin left, Lu He came again, "Miss, it's time to rest, it's getting late!"
"Yeah!" Xu Shu nodded. She was busy making incense today and didn't pay attention to the time. In addition, Zhou Jin came early, so she hasn't washed up yet!
“Then these spices…”
"Cake this incense, it won't be useful..." Xu Shu ordered.
This incense was originally planned to be given to Gao Zhinan, but now she has changed her mind and can't use it anymore.
"Yes!" Luhe put all the spices together and prepared to take them down.
"Wait!" Xu Shu called her again, stepped forward and took a few things out of the box, "Go down!"
When she learned that Xu Shu was going to go to the palace to see the queen, Mrs. Zheng San came to find Xu Shu early in the morning. She was stopped by Mrs. Zheng Si on the way and chatted. It was not until Xu Shu's carriage left, so she let Mrs. Zheng San go away. Mrs. Zheng San had no choice but to go back to the room. After returning, she thought that the tea made for her by Grandma Zheng Wu was a little cold, so she scolded Grandma Zheng Wu, just like the one who despised Grandma Zheng Wu for her that the tea made for her was too hot a few days ago.
Because the situation of the emperor yesterday was too dangerous, although he was rescued, the pressure in the palace was still extremely low. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was not long after. When power was alternating, panic was a human instinct, and even the queen could not be spared.
"The emperor was a little bad yesterday..." When talking about the situation of the emperor yesterday, the queen was still in fear. "I and Concubine Hui were serving the emperor to take medicine. The emperor suddenly stared at her eyes, bit her teeth tightly, and then fainted. The imperial physicians tried every means to restore their consciousness. At that moment, I thought..."
The queen pressed her chest and still couldn't say anything, especially when she was a taboo, but even if she didn't say it, Xu Shu could understand whether the emperor could wake up, and whether the queen could still control the entire harem. Even if there was only a lot of love for the husband and wife with the emperor, the interests still tied them together, and the queen still couldn't live without the emperor, especially before she could grasp the next backer.
"The emperor is auspicious and heavenly appearance, so don't worry about it!"
The queen shook her head, "You don't need to comfort me anymore. In the past year, most of the people have been by the emperor. No one knows the situation of the emperor better than me. I have already made the worst plan, but when this moment is approaching, I still feel panicked... Thanks to the prince this time, otherwise... without the emperor, what should I do with the prince..."
"With the Zheng family here, the Zheng family will always be the backing of the empress!"
The queen smiled a little relievedly, "The Zheng family is the backing of my palace, and I am also the support of my family... The Zheng family and I are one, prospering and prospering, and both losing and losing! At this time, we should work together to overcome difficulties together!"
The queen seemed to have something in her words, and Xu Shu's heart trembled. Before she could react, the queen had already patted Xu Shu's hand and sighed with emotion, "After counting carefully, I have known you for nearly five years! In these five years, my palace has gradually become a queen who is not favored and even a concubine dares to look down on her concubines to become a queen who deserves it. It is all your credit for giving birth to a princess!"
Xu Shu looked panicked, "The Empress is so proud of her, but she is so ashamed of her daughter!"
"You can take it! Although I am the name of my aunt and nephew, I am in love with each other. I hope you can continue to be with me!" The queen grabbed Xu Shu's hand tightly, not allowing Xu Shu to break free. "With your intelligence, you fall into the home of ordinary people. Ordinary families cannot afford such great blessings. Only by becoming a superior person can you not be considered as insulting you. I have said long ago that that position belongs to you. At this critical moment, I will do my best to get you into that position!"
"Empress... Now is not a good time!"
Sure enough, at this time, the queen finally couldn't hold back. The emperor was the only reliance of the queen. Once the emperor was away, the queen would have nothing. Therefore, the queen had to take advantage of this last opportunity to stabilize the power in her hands as much as possible. Nothing could be more reliable than having a helper to the new emperor and empress.
"When will we wait for this time if we don't want to make a fuss? Now the Fu family, Gao family, and Huang family are not eyeing each other. Once there is any change, our Zheng family will be behind us!" The queen obviously had made plans, and even Xu Shu couldn't listen to her opinions.
"The Empress also said that the Fu family, Gao family, and Huang family are fighting hard. Since this is the case, why don't the Zheng family continue to wait and see what's going on? Instead of wading through this muddy water and losing their identity, it's better to hold on to the army first and wait until the dust is about to settle before the fisherman can benefit!"
"You mean to let them fight first, let's wait? But..." The queen hesitated and her voice lowered. "Mr. Qin gave me a briefing yesterday, saying that according to the current situation of the emperor, he might...if he couldn't wait for that time, the emperor would..."
Once the emperor is gone, the Zheng family has lost their backing and the situation is hopeless. How can we compete with the Fu family? The more critical the queen is, the more uneasy it feels.
"Empress, the key to this matter is not the emperor, but the prince. If the prince is willing, why would he let several families fight to this point?"
The queen suddenly realized, "The prince doesn't like these families...or the prince doesn't want any of them to grow up..."
"So this is the opportunity for the Zheng family! So the Zheng family should remain calm at this time!"
