Chapter 491: Palace Fighting Is Better To Rebel (28)(1/2)
w·h·f?!
To bring down the Queen Mother?
Is this Dogecoin system crazy?
Who does it think the Queen Mother is? Is she an ordinary "mother-in-law"? Why would she let her as a "daughter-in-law" overthrow the other party?
The Empress Dowager He is the regent empress dowager. It cannot be said that she has all the power in the government, but she is definitely the number one figure in the court.
And she, Zheng Nian'er, is just a concubine in the harem, not even a queen!
Although she is favored, no matter how favored she is, she still cannot get out of the harem, let alone confront the Empress Dowager He!
Haha, she really wanted to ask the system: I have no enmity with you, why would you harm me like this?
This is not asking her to do a task, it is clearly asking her to commit suicide.
"This system has no intention of harming you——"
Gongdou System sensed Zheng Nian'er's strong emotional fluctuations, and there was a hint of unnaturalness in the stereotypical mechanical voice.
"Dear! Aren't you trying to harm me? Are you asking me, a person who is below me in terms of status and seniority, to go and 'bring down' the superior?"
Zheng Nian'er really couldn't bear it.
This rogue system asked her to flirt with the emperor, slap the queen in the face, and plot against the concubines. Although she was reluctant, she was coerced and had to do it.
Moreover, although these tasks are disgusting and awkward, they are not impossible!
Now, the Gongdou system has directly set up a "seeking death" mission. Zheng Nian'er would be stupid if he did it obediently.
"Dear! I'm not asking you to do this task in vain. After you succeed, you can get the Marrow Cleansing Pill as a reward. You know, this is a reward that only the palace fighting champion will have!"
"Kiss! As long as you defeat Queen Mother He, you can win such an ultimate prize!"
The Gongdou system changed from its previous arrogance and coldness, and began to act cute towards Zheng Nian'er.
It also came up with what it called the "ultimate jackpot."
As everyone knows, the more active it is, the more worried Zheng Nian'er becomes - the system is either messing with something, or it's messing with me! Danger! Danger!
Zheng Nian'er was full of resistance in her heart, but she also knew that she could not really refuse the Gongdou system.
She breathed deeply several times, calmed down her excitement, and tried to reason with the Gongdou system——
"System! System Dad! It's not that I don't want to do the task, but this task is too difficult!"
"Talk about me as a favored concubine. Even Emperor Yongcheng, who is the emperor, would not dare to say 'bring down the Queen Mother He'!"
"Leave aside the fact that Queen Mother He is the regent of the imperial court, and looking at the fact that she is the emperor's biological mother, no one in the entire Dayuan Dynasty dares to 'disobey' her!"
The emperor wouldn't dare, let alone Zheng Nian'er, a beloved concubine!
"...Really, System, this mission is so ridiculous. Do you think Queen Mother He is Queen Mother Liu?"
"Well, even the Empress Dowager Liu, although she is not the emperor's biological mother, the emperor once suspected that she had treated his biological mother harshly, but she did not dare to disobey her, let alone say anything like 'bringing her down'."
Zheng Nian'er shook her head desperately. She didn't dare to confront Queen Mother He directly!
We don't even dare to treat a big shot like Queen Mother He as the target of a mission.
"..." Gongdou System was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned into a cold mechanical voice, "If you fail the mission, you will be punished by lightning strikes, once a day!"
Damn it!
Gongdou System, you are really crazy!
The punishment for lightning strikes is once a day!
This is to chop her Zheng Nian'er to death.
"Host, this system has never wanted to kill you, but Queen Mother He poses a serious threat to this system. If she is not brought down, this system will be severely damaged, and you, who are bound to this system, will also be killed.
The end of the soul!"
The Gongdou system was really anxious, and it directly "showed off" its cards to Zheng Nian'er.
Zheng Nian'er:......
Damn, what is this?
Doing tasks is tantamount to directly seeking death.
If you don't complete the task or fail the task, you will be chopped to death by lightning!
This bastard system didn't even leave her a way to survive.
"It's not like there's no hope at all!"
The Gongdou System did not want to really push Zheng Nian'er to a dead end, so it softened its tone and advised softly: "Host, you are so smart, if you think about it carefully, you will always come up with good strategies!"
"The Empress Dowager He is indeed powerful, but she is a woman after all, and she has a weak relationship with Emperor Yongcheng. As for you, you still have an advantage."
"Just like the Empress Dowager Liu you just mentioned, didn't she and her adopted son Emperor Renzong almost become enemies?"
Zheng Nian'er squinted her eyes. Although she still resisted in her heart, she had begun to carefully consider the system's words.
Yes, Queen Mother He is indeed difficult to deal with.
As the beloved concubine of the harem, she, Zheng Nian'er, rashly plotted against her, was like a fly shaking a tree.
However, this mission does not have even the slightest chance of success.
Wait, Queen Mother Liu?
In the official history, she was praised as "having Lu Wu's talents but not Lu Wu's evil".
Among the people, she also has a more widely circulated story - the civet cat exchanged for the prince!
"The civet cat changes to the prince! Wear the dragon robe!"
In later generations, Zheng Nian'er grew up with her grandparents.
The two old people have no other hobbies, they just like to sing Peking Opera, and they are considered amateur fans.
Therefore, Zheng Nian'er has heard many famous Peking Opera jokes since she was a child.
Influenced by these operas, for a long time she actually regarded operas as official history.
It wasn't until I went to school and learned real history that I realized how outrageous those folk jokes were.
but--
Although these opera stories deviate from history, they are not useless at all.
Zheng Nian'er tried hard to recall the contents of those classic Peking Opera arias, and had a vague idea in her mind.
However, she needs help and time to prepare.
"Tiantian, Mrs. Hu has entered the palace again!"
As a universal camera who loves gossip, classmate Little D will rush to tell He Tiantian every time he captures "news".
He Tiantian raised her eyebrows, "Oh. She must have been summoned to the palace by Zheng Nian'er."
Mrs. Hu was the wet nurse of Emperor Yongcheng and was favored by the emperor.
In the past, Hu was left directly in the palace, like a "half master".
Emperor Yongcheng even used Hu to stimulate Queen Mother He. For a while, Hu's popularity in the palace seemed to have overshadowed Queen Mother He!
As an "old man" in the palace, although Mrs. Hu was later sent away by Emperor Yongcheng, she only enters the palace occasionally, which is really not news.
Moreover, He Tiantian speculated that it was definitely not the Emperor Yongcheng who summoned Hu into the palace, but someone else.
Think about it, Hu's biological daughter is a noble concubine in the palace, and according to palace rules, concubines who reach a certain level can summon relatives from their natal family.
That's why He Tiantian said, "She should have been summoned to the palace by Zheng Nian'er."
Classmate Xiao D, who had long given up trying to show off in front of He Tiantian, still couldn't hold it back and asked, "Tiantian, why don't you think it was the emperor who summoned the Hu family to the palace?"
"Because the emperor already knows that I no longer care about the so-called 'deep love between mother and son'!"
The reason why the barbecued pork son of Emperor Yongcheng always praised the Hu family was not only because he had feelings for the Hu family, but also because he wanted to "resist" the Queen Mother He!
It was as if he had the upper hand in front of his mother by promoting his wet nurse and suppressing his mother's family.
The original owner really cared about his son, so he would naturally be stimulated and react violently.
After He Tiantian came here, he didn't take Emperor Yongcheng seriously at all.
Therefore, the Hu family was floating in front of his eyes. Even if Emperor Yongcheng dared to consecrate her as a "holy lady", He Tiantian just smiled coldly.
It would not irritate the Queen Mother He, and his actions might be impeached and dissatisfied by the courtiers.
Emperor Yongcheng is not stupid enough to let himself fall into such a passive situation!
Furthermore, Emperor Yongcheng was currently busy with the Salt Administration and it was not too late for the big exam. He had no time to "cause trouble" for He Tiantian.
...After listening to He Tiantian's analysis, Xiao D had no other reaction except a thumbs up and a like.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen is here to pay her respects to you!"
While He Tiantian was chatting with classmate Little D, Grandma Song heard the report from the little palace maid, leaned into He Tiantian's ear, and reminded her in a low voice.
