"The Imperial Physician Hongwen said that once Lord Shangguan announces the news of the emperor's death,
This proves that everything inside and outside the palace is already under his control, and I am afraid it will be detrimental to the master."
"The Imperial Physician Hongwen also said that if the master has any plans, it is best to implement them as soon as possible, otherwise..."
"He really shouldn't involve you in this struggle!" Zijin sighed softly, interrupting Xiang Ling's words.
Xiangling stood quietly beside Zijin and whispered for a long time: "This slave has been involved."
Zi Jin was startled for a moment, and then he remembered the day when he killed the emperor with his own hands.
At that time, Shangguan Shengmin had already decided to kill all the slaves in Lai Yi Palace without mercy.
At this time, I am afraid it is not up to her Hu Zijin to decide whether she wants to be involved or not.
"The emperor passed away, Shangguan Shengmin will definitely pass on the imperial edict and make Fan'er the emperor."
Zi Jin turned around and looked at Qi Jun, who was sleeping quietly in the cradle and still didn't understand anything.
He sighed softly: "Fan'er has left the palace with Mingxuan.
Then Shangguan Shengmin will definitely let Qi Jun pretend to be Fan'er,
Children all grow up pretty much the same,
What's more, few people in the government and the public have seen Fan'er.
So according to convention, since I am the biological mother of the new emperor, I will definitely be named the Queen Mother."
Xiangling stood aside and listened quietly without saying anything.
Zijin never thought that Xiangling would answer the call.
So he continued: "If I were named Queen Mother,
Invisibly, the status that originally belonged to Queen Xiao was taken away.
In addition, Shangguan Shengmin is now using the name of the emperor to continuously reduce the power of the Xiao family.
Now even Governor Xiao, who was instrumental in putting down the rebels, has been removed from his official position...
The Xiao family will become the biggest obstacle to Shangguan Shengmin's monopoly on power."
"But Queen Xiao didn't know that the emperor had passed away.
I don’t even know that the reduction of the power of the Xiao family was done by Shangguan Shengmin in the name of the emperor?" Xiang Ling asked strangely.
"Of course she knows."
Zijin sneered: "Queen Xiao is the emperor's first wife.
I know much more about the Emperor than ordinary people.
Shangguan Shengmin wanted to use a mere ventriloquist to deceive Empress Xiao, who was more in love with the emperor than Jin Jian.
You underestimate her!"
