Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Chapter 229 The Queen Mother of Bloody Literature 11

Concubine Liu was beautiful but ruthless. She had an idea but didn't plan to do it herself. It wasn't that she didn't dare, but she felt that the benefits she got were not enough. The head of the Liu family and Miss Liu, who benefited the most from the whole thing, it was impossible for them to do nothing.

She was willing to pay, and she was also worried that her brother and niece would hand her over to the emperor to get rid of the crime. It was useless for Miss Liu to hide on the farm. If she wanted to be the queen, she had to do it herself.

Miss Liu's face turned pale with fear. She had no grudge against Li Liuniang, but she was afraid of being asked to harm others.

Concubine Liu sneered: "Haha, then go and tell the emperor that as long as he lets you leave the palace and marry, I won't be a bad person." At worst, she could just risk her life and beg for mercy from that bitch Li. With the one in Renshou Palace around, Li wouldn't dare to go too far.

"Aunt, I was wrong." Miss Liu had never thought of leaving the capital. The twelfth daughter of the Ye family was locked up after being driven out of the palace by the Queen Mother Ye. Her fate would be even worse if she was sent out of the palace.

"I'll give you the medicine. It's up to you how to use it. But you must not expose yourself." Concubine Liu was not a heartless person. She herself did not intend to do it, but she was willing to let Miss Liu use the people and the nails buried in the Li Palace.

Miss Liu thought hard for several days before coming up with a simple and crude method. She mixed the medicine into rouge and sent it to Li Liuniang. Of course, she couldn't send it in her own name. She could send it to Li Liuniang in the name of her monthly allowance. She would definitely use it.

Li Liuniang is temporarily living in the harem, and her allowance is better than that of a concubine or a dowager imperial concubine, so there is no need to worry that she won't use it.

This is not the first time Miss Liu has done something bad, but it is also the first time she has harmed someone. In the past, she always ordered her subordinates to do bad things, but this time she has to do it herself, so she can't help feeling a little nervous.

She didn't want to dirty her hands, but her aunt said that the medicine was very important and no one else should know about it. The fewer loyal servants around her who knew about it, the less risk of leaks there would be.

Miss Liu did not dare to disobey Concubine Liu for the time being, but she secretly swore in her heart that once she firmly took the position of Queen, all the concubines in the harem would be sent away. Those with children would be sent to reunite with their children, and those without children would be sent to the royal temple, so that there would be no idle people in the palace.

As soon as Miss Liu took action, Ye Zhiqiu knew about it. There was no need for system monitoring. The eunuchs in charge had long wanted to please her. They finally caught the handle of Concubine Liu, so how could they let it go?

The palace servants below also knew about the recent uproar over the queen appointment incident. If Miss Liu wanted to become the queen, it would depend on whether Renshou Palace agreed or not. Before the queen candidate was determined, they did not dare to betray Ye Zhiqiu for the time being. No matter how cruel the means were, it would be useless. Renshou Palace would not compete with them. They would fight at the slightest disagreement. If they did not want to die, they could only be obedient.

Ye Zhiqiu had long guessed that someone would do something shady, but she didn't expect Miss Liu to dare to do it herself. It would be great if she could just find someone to do it for such a small matter, and if she failed, there would be someone to take the blame. It's a pity that she is in charge of the harem now. If she wants to make trouble, she can do it, but don't involve her.

She asked the system to monitor everyone and prepare to arrest people after Miss Liu took action. It would be best to arrest people in front of the emperor to see if he still had the nerve to clamor for Miss Liu to be the queen.

"Banxia, ​​go and deliver a message to the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister's family." Liu wanted to arrest him, but she didn't want to offend anyone in person, so she sent the message out and see what the two families would do.

Banxia asked, "Master, do you want to keep it a secret?"

"Need not."

"What about the Li family? Why don't you tell them?"

"Need not."

"No need, use the title of the head maid of Renshou Palace, the more people know the better." She not only sent letters to the tutor and the prime minister's family, but also informed the emperor. The emperor was the nephew of the Li family. Even if Li Liuniang did not enter the palace, she was still the emperor's cousin. If she was really disfigured, it would be the emperor's fault. Who told him not to care about his own sister Qing? It had nothing to do with her, an outsider.

She just wanted to make things bigger, the more lively the better. It would be easier for trouble to happen if there were more people watching, and then she could take advantage of the chaos.

The emperor did not believe Ye Zhiqiu's news at all, thinking that she was deliberately slandering Liu, and told the people around him as a joke. An Dahai was shocked after hearing this. The masters above did not know the true colors of these young ladies, but they, the servants, knew that the young ladies were not easy to deal with.

Before the competition, the ladies were not kind people. Now they are willing to do anything to compete for the throne of the queen. He is also an old man in the palace, and the servants in the palace don't say good things about Concubine Liu.

The niece looks like her aunt. Concubine Liu is cruel and ruthless. She doesn't believe that Miss Liu is a kind-hearted person. Only their Emperor has been deceived and thinks that Miss Liu is a good person.

When the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister saw Banxia, ​​they immediately believed that the story was true. They all had spies in the palace, so it was easy to verify the truth of the story. The key was that Ye Zhiqiu had no reason to lie to them.

Both of them were old foxes. They said they believed it, but they did not forget to ask their servants to inquire about Banxia's whereabouts. Knowing that she not only informed themselves but also informed her mortal enemy, they believed it was true.

The Ye family has withdrawn from the fight for the throne. The purpose of Renshou Palace telling them the news was simple. They hoped that the three families would fight each other so that the Ye family could hide behind and reap the benefits.

It was useless for the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister to see through Ye Zhiqiu's plan. As long as they both wanted to send their granddaughter to the palace to be the queen, they had to jump into it even though they knew there was a pit ahead. This was an open conspiracy.

Miss Liu didn't know that her plan was no longer a secret. The day before the operation, she was still worried about what to do if the plan failed. She thought about it and decided that it would be best to ask the emperor for insurance, asking for a blank imperial edict, so that she could be safe if something really happened.

There are many blank imperial edicts in the emperor's calligraphy, but they are useless even if they are taken away. Without seals and review by the prime minister, they cannot be issued and are no different from a piece of waste paper.

Miss Liu didn't understand, and took the opportunity to deliver soup and cakes to quietly take an imperial edict away. The emperor didn't notice anything wrong from beginning to end. It was only when the eunuch on duty discovered that a blank imperial edict was missing that he reported it.

An Dahai was smarter. He checked all the people who came to the calligraphy hall during the day and immediately suspected Miss Liu. He had the answer in his mind, but he didn't say it, and let the eunuchs below pretend they didn't know. A blank imperial edict was missing, and it would only be registered if it was reported. It would be better to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Only after receiving the imperial edict did Miss Liu act boldly.

The rouge mixed with drugs had been delivered to Li Liuniang, and no one who handled it had noticed anything wrong, so she just had to wait and see the results. In fact, the eunuch in charge of rouge and powder went to Li to report immediately at Ye Zhiqiu's instruction.

Li did not believe the eunuch's report and suspected that he had ulterior motives and deliberately used a box of rouge with medicine to please her. She could not tell who put the medicine in. She hated the aunt and nephew of the Liu family, but she did not believe that they had good medicine that could destroy a person's face. If they really had it, they should have used it when the late emperor was alive.
