Chapter 3160 Harem 22

Empress Liu is very powerful, but there are empress dowagers in the palace, and concubines who do not please her, and now she has Yu Anran who has the background of the empress dowager and is not afraid of herself. In this way, she naturally cannot cover the sky with one hand, and therefore, someone will choose It is normal to seek refuge with Yu Anran, who is becoming more and more favored now. After all, many people in the palace are the kind of people who can act according to the prevailing situation. They will think that Yu Anran has a bright future, and it is normal to flatter him.

However, she felt that those people were mentally ill, because it didn't matter if Yu Anran was favored, not to mention the power of the Yu family, even the power of the Queen Mother's family was not as good as her own. After all, her father was the chief minister. , and because she is a queen, her own family has been granted the title of Marquis, has a title, and is powerful. Will Yu Anran be able to compete with her own family in the future? It's not a bad idea to run to a person with such a shallow background.

This does not mean that there is no future for following a beloved concubine. For example, those emperors who hold great power do have a future by following their beloved concubine. Even their family members can follow them to become prosperous. However, there is not much real power in today's world. The real power lies with one's own father and others. In the hands of other important ministers, the emperor himself did not have much power. Although according to his parents, the emperor always wanted to take back his power, but the civil service group was united and it was not easy for the emperor to shake it.

As for an emperor who doesn't have much power, no one will care about what he wants to do, let alone his beloved concubine, how much energy can he have.

This is why Queen Liu laughed at those people who defected to Enron and had bad minds.

This is actually the case, but Empress Liu may not have thought about it. There is a saying that things are subject to change and nothing remains the same.

No matter how great the power is, it will disappear one day; no matter how high the status is, there will be a time when it falls into the clouds.

Although Liu Shoufu has all the power in the world, he may be pulled down by his political opponents or die, which will cause the Liu family's power to collapse instantly.

No matter how empress Liu is, once the fact that she has harmed so many people is exposed, not even her father can protect her.

Nothing is set in stone.

If she didn't expect this, Queen Liu would be arrogant, which is normal.

Does she think that her father will always live and the things she did will never come to light?

Even if what she does does not come to light, her father will definitely die before the emperor under normal circumstances. When her father dies and the Liu family loses power, based on what she is doing in the palace now, what good can she do? What will happen?

As for the emperor, according to An Ran, he also firmly believed that he could live longer than Liu Shoufu and one day be able to take care of Empress Liu, so he had been taking care of his body and was not very keen on the harem. He was only keen on exercising.

Obviously, the emperor was thinking that he would not be able to regain his power while Liu Shoufu was around. He could only hope to regain his power when Liu Shoufu was dead, so he was recharging his strength.

Empress Liu didn't notice that the emperor was recharging his energy. She only thought about the overwhelming power of her family and that it would never decline. With such a shallow vision, her future fate was doomed.

But Queen Liu is still very powerful right now.

Seeing that the emperor was frightened by the fact that he was executed because of his concubine Cao, he waited for a while and promoted An Ran two more levels to Zhaoyi. Empress Liu couldn't help but get angry and wanted to cause trouble for An Ran.

Now she can go directly to trouble An Ran, because with her current position, An Ran can greet the Queen every day.

Now that he can face it head-on, the methods Empress Liu used to make things difficult for others can naturally be used on An Ran.

No, as soon as An Ran entered Queen Liu's palace that day to pay her respects, Queen Liu stopped her and said: "I have just received a complaint from Song Cairen in your palace, saying that Cui Gongren in your palace Is there such a thing as stealing her jewelry?"

As mentioned before, most of the people living in Cao Concubine's palace are Cao Concubine's lackeys, that is, Queen Liu's lackeys. They are naturally Queen Liu's people, but their status is too low to be qualified to directly be Queen Liu's lackeys. , just became a dog-legged person.

Now that Concubine Cao is dead and An Ran has not moved out of Jiyue Palace, what should Empress Liu do if she wants to control Jiyue Palace? So she contacted Concubine Cao and those bastards, so that a concubine with a low status like Song Cairen could be found. An opportunity to talk directly with Queen Liu.

With such a good opportunity to climb up the ladder, Song Cairen was naturally excited and wanted to express her feelings in order to win the opportunity to advance to the throne. So when Empress Liu asked her to bite An Ran's palace servants, she naturally didn't say anything. She agreed without saying anything. After all, Empress Liu hinted to her that as long as she handled the matter, she would be promoted to a higher rank after it was completed. This made Song Cairen not willing.

Moreover, although this Cui Gong person did not steal anything from her, she had heard from others that his hands and feet were indeed dirty.

In this way, she would frame this person, and others would only applaud her and not think that she was being wronged.

An Ran couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing Queen Liu's words.

This Cui Gong person will have a reputation of having dirty hands and feet. It is obvious that the other party is not a good person.

In fact, this person did have a problem, but he was from Queen Mother Yu. She reminded her several times, but the other person did not take her seriously or listen to her advice, so An Ran was planning to put this person away. On the premise of offending the Queen Mother, the person was changed.

She was worried about how to send such a garbage away. Now after hearing Queen Liu's words, she had an idea. She wanted to use Queen Liu's hand to get rid of this Cui Gongren, and then fill her place. My own people, killing two birds with one stone, just right.

However, she couldn't show that she was happy that she had borrowed Queen Liu's hand to send Cui Gongren away, lest Queen Liu would become suspicious and not help send him away. Instead, she should show a helpless look. In this way, Queen Liu felt that Being able to deal with her made her feel sad, and she might use this as an excuse in the future to often get rid of the Queen Mother's people, thinking that she was causing trouble for herself.

Thinking of this, An Ran looked panicked and said, "I don't know if this is the case. Why don't I find her and ask her? Maybe it's a misunderstanding..."

Empress Liu frowned and said: "What misunderstanding! Do you mean that Song Cairen, a dignified empress, would wrongly accuse a little palace maid?"

An Ran murmured: "Everything must be based on evidence..."

Empress Liu sneered and said, "I will investigate this matter. You should go back first."

Not long after An Ran returned, Queen Liu sent someone to invite Gongren Cui. Soon after, Queen Liu announced that Gongren Cui had confessed, saying that she had indeed stolen Song Cairen's things.

——In fact, Gongren Cui doesn’t have to confess. After all, she didn’t steal Song Cairen’s things, but she stole other people’s things. Empress Liu said that if she wanted to confess, she could still let her live, otherwise she would confess. , and when she is handed over to the Criminal Punishment Department, it will be found out that she stole other people's things, and she will still be a dead character.
