In the end, Qin Rushuang decided not to organize the court meeting until Xie Xun woke up.
She decided to just summon a few first-rank officials from the court to the palace, opened the door to the imperial study, and ordered them to sit in the imperial study and handle various memorials on their behalf.
Of course, in the end, the review of these memorials was still handed over to Qin Rushuang.
But due to rules, Qin Rushuang had to ask these people for their opinions before finally giving a proper solution. In this way, others couldn't say that he controlled the government as a woman, right?
But early the next morning, when Qin Rushuang passed on this decision, there was still opposition from the court.
"According to the princess's suggestion, several first-rank officials in the court temporarily formed a cabinet to handle the memorial. There is nothing wrong with it. However, the princess has no official position in the court and is a member of the inner chamber. How can she enjoy the decision-making power on the memorial? Chen Jue
I disagree! This is against the ancestral rules! Women are not allowed to participate in politics! This rule must not be broken by the princess!"
"Don't say that there is no one in charge. Although the deposed prince is sick, he is still alive. It is really not good. After the prince, there are several younger princes. Even if they are still young, they have been raised in the palace since childhood. They should understand
Everyone knows that even if it is a young prince who has the power to make decisions on his behalf, it is more appropriate than a princess!"
Such words reached Qin Rushuang's ears one after another, making Qin Rushuang feel even more exhausted physically and mentally.
A group of ministers were quarreling in the royal study, and some of their words were even very aggressive.
Finally, when someone suggested that "the prince is unconscious and the princess controls the government, His Highness should be taken away from the Princess in time to prevent the Princess from taking His Highness as a threat and trying to get involved in the Xie family." Qin Rushuang finally became angry.
She can tolerate other things, but when it comes to her family and her son, she absolutely cannot bear it!
Where are we now? Xie Xun is not even dead yet, and they are already plotting against Lin Bao!
They are afraid that they will use Linbao as a threat to try to get involved in the Xie family. I am afraid that they want to squeeze out their mother, so that they can create a regent with a different surname, right?!
When the time comes, Emperor Xia will order the princes, and he will really have a big plan!
"Master Li, although I am a woman, don't forget that I have married the prince, and my last name has been prefixed with the word "Xie"! I am now the Xie Qin family! But what about you, Master Li? You are just a foreign minister, don't forget
Lost my identity!"
Mr. Li, who is over sixty years old, was so angry that he rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Okay! Your Majesty is seriously ill, so you, an ignorant woman, have already grown fangs? There is no good person in your Qin family! My elder sister controls the government, and my younger brother is responsible for the army! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wake up! You
Wake up and look at me, old minister! Look at your empire, it’s about to be stolen by thieves!”
Looking at this farce-like scene, Qin Rushuang felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
She waved her hand towards the darkness, and two shadow guards appeared, forcefully taking Master Li down who was still rolling around on the ground.
Although what Qin Rushuang said just now was very serious, she could not make an enemy of the entire imperial court on her own.
Finally, a concession was made.
"Then according to the first method, the first-rank Yuan in the court will form a cabinet and temporarily handle the government affairs on behalf of the prince. I will not participate, but Linbao must stay with me and be educated by me personally! All your lords understand, Linbao must
Bao is the prince's only child, and I don't trust anyone with this bone!"
"You can also say that I have bad intentions, but after all, I am Linbao's biological mother. No one will harm him, but I will not! Having said this, everyone should give in. This royal study room, before the prince wakes up,
, I won’t be coming for the time being, you adults can figure it out!”
After saying that, Qin Rushuang walked away with a puff of her sleeves.
But her statement just now was just superficial.
Less than a moment after she returned to the palace, someone sent a handwritten letter to her.
It was a letter written by several first-rank officials headed by Mr. Lin Ge, ghostwritten by Mr. Lin Ge. The letter stated that they all understood Qin Rushuang's concerns and sympathized with Qin Rushuang's situation. They would temporarily suspend Xun's decision-making power, but all
When making decisions, I would still ask Qin Rushuang in private before making the final decision.
With the support of these courtiers, Qin Rushuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least there won't be too much trouble in the court.
Then, she would have to use her hands to catch the person who harmed Xie Xun behind the scenes.
Qin Rushuang frowned hard after hearing their report.
"Are you saying that there is nothing unusual in Princess Li's palace during this period, except for walking around with other concubines?"
Shadow Guard nodded.
Qin Rushuang then asked, "And the news that Princess Li got was all passed on to her by the maid in her palace?"
Although the shadow guards also found it incredible, they still nodded.
"Princess, we have found out clearly! At first, the news came from the little maid in Princess Li's palace, saying that there was a thief who harmed the prince, and that the snake venom planted by the prince was not ordinary, and so on.
The news was all passed on to Concubine Li by the maids of Princess Li."
"Furthermore, there is a rumor in Princess Li's palace... It is said that our prince may not be able to wake up this time. If the prince is really... then compared to our little highness, the other princes are still younger, but they are not
It is not impossible for her to take power. After hearing these rumors, it seemed that there was someone else instigating her behind the scenes, so she came to the prince's palace that day to inquire about the news."
Qin Rushuang quickly asked: "Then such news must have a source! Where did the source of the news come from?"
Hearing Qin Rushuang's question, a flash of hesitation flashed across the faces of the two shadow guards.
Qin Rushuang immediately asked: "It's related to the prince's safety. Tell me! Where did the news come from?"
One of the shadow guards finally replied: "The news came from... from the palace of the noble concubine."
Qin Rushuang was stunned for a moment.
How could it be, how could it be possible...
How could it come from the imperial concubine's palace?
Qin Rushuang felt incredible!
The imperial concubine knows her importance to Xie Xun better than anyone else, and also understands the benefits she can bring to Xie Xun by being by his side!
To put it bluntly, she is Xie Xun's biological mother. She can best understand that Xie Xun must be hers. How could she want to be disadvantageous to herself, or even to her own son?
This is simply ridiculous!
"Tell me! Apart from these, what else did you find? It's not limited to the harem!"
"Also, since yesterday, some rumors have spread among the public, saying that the prince is in danger this time, and that you, princess, are the mastermind behind it. At first, we thought these rumors were from the court, and you can't stand those things about you.
The courtiers spread the news, but after checking it again and again, the last clue... pointed to the imperial concubine's palace."
