Chapter 3161 Harem 23

Palace Cui heard that Empress Liu said that as long as she confessed, she would be given a way to live, so she would naturally bear the crime.

But in fact, Queen Liu would not give the other party a way to live because he confessed. After all, she was trying to induce the confession. In fact, Cui Gongren did not steal Song Cairen’s jewelry at all. In this way, naturally there would be no chance of survival for Cui Gongren. It would be bad to bite her back, so when she got the confession, she beat the person twenty times. Although he was indeed alive for a while, which was in line with the promise she made, he was infected not long after he was dragged back. Passed away.

Of course she did this on purpose, because she knew that if she hit someone hard, she would kill someone, but they would not die for a while, but they would still die afterwards, so her so-called promise was deceptive.

After killing Cui Gongren and making Cui Gongren's confession uncorroborated, Empress Liu used An Ran's inability to discipline the palace maids as a fine and fined her for three months, so that she could think about her mistakes behind closed doors.

This was Empress Liu's little calculation. She wanted to find a reason to imprison An Ran for a period of time. In this way, the emperor could not find An Ran to sleep with her and then promote her to the throne.

Otherwise, if the emperor ignores the punishment of the punished concubine and still calls her to sleep with him, and promotes her to a higher position, how can he convince the public?

Even if the emperor insists on doing this, she can dissuade him a little, which is better than not locking An Ran up. The emperor always asks her to sleep with him and then gets promoted, but she can't persuade him at all.

The confinement of Yu Anran not only has this benefit, but also allows those who act according to the circumstances to know who is the master of the palace!

He still dares to take refuge in An Ran, huh, even An Ran can't protect himself, but he still dares to take refuge in her, and he is not afraid of being implicated by her.

Not to mention, Queen Liu's move really made the palace wait and see, wanting to see if An Ran could fight back. If An Ran couldn't fight back, then she would have to think about taking refuge again. After all, just like Queen Liu wanted to If Yu Anran couldn't even protect herself, then if they still took refuge, wouldn't it be that Empress Liu would take the blame?

An Ran doesn't care about what everyone in the palace thinks, because she believes that as her power grows, people will naturally defect to her. There is no need to worry about Queen Liu confining herself, and others will just wait and see. Anyway, this kind of wait and see People are not worthy of pity.

In fact, An Ran was happy to be in solitary confinement at the moment, because being solitary by Empress Liu saved An Ran from having to explain to the Queen Mother Cui Gongren.

It's fine now. An Ran can't go out. She has completed the personnel arrangements for Cui Gongren after they leave directly in the courtyard. In the future, even if the Queen Mother sends people here, she will no longer be able to drive away the people she arranged. She will no longer be able to send people away Arrangements were made, and of course, if she didn't mind, she could take over the menial tasks that her people had done before.

An Ran was happy that she didn't have to step forward to deal with one of the Queen Mother Yu's people. On the Queen Mother's side, she heard that Queen Liu had locked up An Ran and sent one of her confidants there, found an excuse, beat him half to death, and committed suicide. She was so angry that when Empress Liu paid her respects, she pointed at her nose and cursed loudly - Empress Dowager Yu was Empress Liu's nominal mother-in-law, so Empress Liu naturally had to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Yu every day. , even if she does not take the Queen Mother seriously, this kind of etiquette is indispensable, otherwise someone in the previous government will definitely use this to cause trouble and impeach her or even her family. After all, her father also has many political enemies.

"Bitch! The Ai family wanted to be on the same page with you, so why did you beat the person who was given to Yu Zhaoyi by the Ai family for no reason, and also put Yu Zhaoyi in solitary confinement! Do you think you have a good father? You can do whatever you want, and you can even look down on the Ai family?"

Empress Dowager Yu's scolding, in the eyes of Empress Liu, was incompetence and rage, so after hearing Empress Dowager Yu's words, Empress Liu couldn't help but sneer, thinking that you can only be so angry, what can you do to me.

Although she was thinking this in her heart, she could not show it on her face, so Empress Liu pretended to be frightened at the right time and said: "Queen mother, please calm down. How dare your daughter-in-law dare? It's just that the palace servant has committed a crime, and the daughter-in-law will punish her." Yes, and it is a fact that Yu Zhaoyi was not disciplined well. What is wrong with being imprisoned for three months? How could it be related to not taking the mother into consideration? Could it be that the daughter-in-law has committed a crime in managing the harem? No one in the palace can punish them, and they don’t even have the right to manage the concubines?"

If Empress Dowager Yu really dares to say this, if word gets out, she is being unreasonable.

Queen Mother Yu naturally knew this truth, and her blood pressure rose uncontrollably. Her brain was buzzing. She pointed at Queen Liu, her fingers trembling, and said: "Okay, okay! She is indeed the daughter of Liu Shoufu! The son of the Ai family in front of you is under your father's control." If you are angry with me, the Ai family will be angry with you later. You and your family are such loyal ministers and filial sons!"

Although the emperor is not her biological son, as a legitimate mother, she can naturally call him a son.

Empress Liu saw that Empress Dowager Yu was trembling with anger, and thought she was funny. After all, she managed the harem by herself. Did she manage it wrong? Does this also make her angry?

Even if Cui Gongren didn't steal Song Cairen's things and she deliberately wronged him, her hands and feet were indeed dirty, so she dealt with her. Is there anything wrong? Yu Anran failed to take care of her subordinates, so she put her in confinement. Is it wrong?

However, Empress Liu did not continue to stimulate her. She was afraid that the Empress Dowager would be too angry. If she returned to the west all of a sudden, she would be known as the one who pissed off the Empress Dowager to death, which would be bad.

No matter how much Empress Dowager Yu scolded her, Empress Liu would not answer her words, so Empress Dowager Yu could only jump on her feet for a while and forget about it for the time being.

Yes, forget it for the time being. In fact, Empress Dowager Yu hated Empress Liu so much that she wanted to get rid of her. So, like An Ran, she arranged for people to dig deep into the bad things Empress Liu had done.

She didn't believe it. Empress Liu had done so many things, but there was never a flaw. Every time, her tail was swept clean, so that she couldn't catch her.

While trying to find ways to catch Queen Liu, he frequently made trouble for Queen Liu.

Empress Liu was able to cause trouble for An Ran by virtue of her higher status than An Ran, and Queen Mother Yu could naturally follow suit and cause trouble for Empress Liu by virtue of her status as mother-in-law.

It just so happened that the Liu family had caused trouble for the Queen Mother's family. They knew they couldn't fight against the Liu family and endured it. Now the Queen Mother was angry and didn't want to bear it anymore, so they started to cause trouble for Queen Liu.

Of course, the main reason was that the Empress Dowager felt that An Ran was very favored now. The emperor was probably very angry when he saw that Empress Liu had put An Ran in solitary confinement. In this case, the emperor might also cause trouble for Empress Liu.

Together, they are looking for trouble for Queen Liu. If the Liu family dares to attack them, they join forces to resist. The Liu family may not succeed. After all, there are royalists in the court, as well as the influence of the Queen Mother's family, and although they are not royalists, With so many people who are hostile to the Liu family combined, even if the Liu family is more powerful and the other families work together, the Liu family will still have to consider whether they can resist so many people.
