Comprehensive film and television: Extreme reversal and inevitable death

The next day, before Yixiu had finished washing up, she heard the voices of concubines coming from outside.

It has been a long time since they came to Jingren Palace to pay their respects. The few low-ranking officials were fine, thinking in their hearts that in this palace, the Queen is the only big tree that will always bloom.

Concubine Xi was once so powerful, but she disappeared overnight, and even her mother's family was implicated.

But, I don’t know what mistake she made?

Xinpin was gossiping in the corner. Imperial Noble Consort Duan took sick leave and did not come today, so the highest-ranking official became Imperial Noble Consort Jing.

Just by looking at Concubine Jing sitting there with a distracted look on her face, one could tell how uneasy she was feeling.

Soon, Xiuxia came out supporting Yixiu.

Today she was not wearing her favorite bright yellow outfit. She only wore a light gown with a fresh flower in her hair and a snow-blue cheongsam with a phoenix wearing a peony pattern.

He looks a few years younger than before.

"I send my regards to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with peace and happiness."

"Get up and close."

Yixiu didn't want to embarrass others, so she nodded and raised her hand to call out.

"Noble Concubine Jing is in good spirits today."

When Concubine Jing was called, she shuddered and quickly corrected her attitude and replied:

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am a simple-minded person and I dare not take charge of all matters in the harem. I have always been worried until last night when I heard that Your Majesty has recovered and can sit in the palace again. I felt that I could put down the burden and continue to be lazy, so I had a good sleep."

"Is that so? Well, you are a person who doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. You just want to guard your own piece of land."

Yixiu just smiled when she heard it. Her tone was still unhurried and there was no hint of blame in her words, but it still frightened Concubine Jing into a cold sweat for no reason.

"Don't like to meddle in other people's business." Isn't this a clear reminder to her?

Concubine Jing was so frightened that her calves were shaking. She became even more determined to make her position clear to the Empress Dowager after she stayed to hand over the palace affairs!

But Yixiu did not want to give her the opportunity to show her loyalty, and as soon as she took back the palace affairs, she let Concubine Jing go back.

Rather than having another fence-sitter as her lackey, Yixiu herself prefers to see Concubine Jing, who is frightened and tortured all day long.

After noon, Huichun came and told her that the Third Prince had come to pay his respects to her.

Yixiu didn't have much opinion about the Third Prince. After knowing the Emperor's thoughts, she was no longer optimistic about the possibility of the Third Prince ascending to the throne.

Now the fourth prince Hongli has been granted the title of Prince Bao, but the third prince is still just a small Beile.

If Zhen Huan had not suddenly committed a crime and was beaten to death a few days ago, causing Hongli's current embarrassing status, I think the court officials would have basically been certain of his status as the heir to the emperor.

Therefore, Yixiu did not want the Third Prince to be so stubborn as to confront Hongli head-on.

One is that the Third Prince's IQ is not high enough to handle politics;

Another reason is that she wants to preserve her connections so that she can live a peaceful and worry-free life after becoming the Queen Mother.

Thirdly, she actually saw the existence of luck in Hongli, which means that unless the emperor with stronger luck himself wants to kill him, no matter what Yixiu does, Hongli will eventually turn the danger into safety.

Just like Zhen Huan in the past, she couldn't be killed no matter how hard you squeezed her.

To sum up, Yixiu didn't want to waste time and energy on such a lucky person. It would be better for her to think of a way to force Hongli to come to her for help.

Just like she is doing now.

Anyway, as long as the queen is not deposed, no matter which of the third and fourth princes becomes emperor, she will be the only empress dowager.

However, it seemed that there was no hope for the Third Prince, so Yixiu did not intend to confront the extremely suspicious emperor again for him.

That's not worth it at all.

However, the Third Prince's current identity as the Queen's adopted son is indeed a problem. We have to find a way to make him withdraw voluntarily. Otherwise, even if he is unwilling, there will still be a large group of people behind him who will push him forward for their own interests.

Thinking about the Third Prince's empty mind and his original intention which could be described as "filial", Yixiu suddenly came up with a plan.

"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager, and wishes her good health and everlasting happiness."

"Good boy, get up."

Yixiu pushed the plate of snacks beside her over and, as usual, asked a few questions about Hongshi's study progress in the past few days and his situation in the court.

After he felt that he had laid the groundwork for everything, he put on a worried look, and sure enough, this attracted Hongshi's active questioning.

"What is the Empress worried about?"

"Hey, Third Prince has grown up now. If your mother could see your current appearance, I think she would be very happy."

"My son's mother..."

"Last night, I dreamed of your mother. She said she really missed you, but she saw that you were busy with your studies and government affairs all day, so she didn't want to disturb you in your dream. So she had to come to me to talk to me to relieve her pain of missing her son."

Hearing this, Hongshi couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

He knew that his mother had always loved him. It turned out that she didn't appear in his dreams for all these years just to avoid disturbing him!

But as a son, he didn't even think of this on his own initiative. He is so unfilial!

Seeing this, Yixiu kindly made a suggestion.

"Hongshi, how about this? You can ask your father for leave and take a rest for a few days, then go to the temple to light a sea lantern for your mother, copy some scriptures for her, and talk to her more. Your mother will definitely feel comforted when she receives your kindness."

"My Queen Mother, you are right! I will go now!"

The Third Prince did what he thought. After saying goodbye, he ran out of Jingren Palace in a hurry.

When he met the emperor, he told him that he missed his mother recently and wanted to go to the temple to pray for her for a few days.

He said this while crying bitterly. Although the emperor was a little surprised, he was grateful for his filial piety. Thinking that Hongshi could not help him much in the court and sometimes even hindered him, he simply agreed.

Just like that, as soon as the Third Prince Hongshi left the palace, he packed his luggage and rushed to the royal temple. As a result, the Fourth Prince Hongli, who was trying to instigate him to go to the Emperor to plead for the Eighth and Ninth Princes, lost his opportunity.

It's a blessing for him.
