Vanilla was holding a large box of food. Seeing Leng Qiyue's face, she wanted to laugh, but she tried her best to hold it in. Her pretty face turned red.

"Eh? "It smells so good. What's this sister holding in her hand?" Leng Qiyue's eyes flashed as she stared at the food box as if she was begging for food.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager gave these to esteemed imperial concubine to eat." With that, she placed the food box on the table and then took out the dishes.

"Many thanks to Esteemed Empress Dowager." When she saw two pigeons, she grabbed one and gnawed at it, stuffing it into her mouth.

Seeing Leng Qiyue's expression, vanilla began to feel sick of eating. "Imperial Concubine, you have to use chopsticks to eat."

Leng Qiyue glanced at the herb, then put it down and picked up her chopsticks. However, she didn't use chopsticks to pick up the food. Instead, she used them as forks to stick the pigeons in and continue chewing.

"Imperial Concubine, when you entered the palace, didn't anyone teach you etiquette?"

Leng Qiyue pretended to recall and said, "I didn't. At that time, Niu Jun and I were kidnapped by the criminals. The Emperor personally led troops to save us, mother and son. "Afterwards, I entered the palace. Who would have thought that during the time of the Consort, the sun would be so lazy that it would not shine brightly on the earth for a while. Then, I was sent here."

"Oh, then does esteemed imperial concubine live well here?" Vanilla asked tentatively.

Leng Qiyue threw away the bone in her hand, picked up another pigeon, and said, "What's so good about here? The eunuchs often forgot to come to deliver their food, and if I didn't know what wild vegetables were, I would have starved to death long ago. "

"Then... Does esteemed imperial concubine want to go out and live a good life? " the vanilla asked further.

"Alright, alright. It's dark here at night so I don't dare to come out of my room." Leng Qiyue pretended to be innocent.

When Bai Lan saw Leng Qiyue's posture, she nearly lost her balance. She inadvertently got rid of some dust.

When vanilla saw the dust on one side of the wooden table, she looked up in curiosity but didn't see anything.

Leng Qiyue cursed in her heart. On the surface, she said, "It's fine. There are a lot of rats here. They might have smelled the fragrance of the food."

"Mouse?" "Aroma looked around warily, and in the end decided to leave as soon as possible." Imperial Concubine, please enjoy yourself. This servant will return to report. "

"Go, by the way, what's your sister's name?" Leng Qiyue asked in a daze.

When Vanilla saw her foolish look, she smiled faintly. "Imperial Concubine, your servant is called Vanilla." After saying this, vanilla left the cold palace and walked quickly to report to the Palace of Benedict.

The empress dowager was reclining on the soft couch. Seeing that vanilla had returned, she asked, "How was your probing?"

"In reply, Esteemed Empress Dowager, that Leng Qiyue is an unruly and unruly person. She has a beautiful face and doesn't have any brains at all."

"Oh?" The empress dowager's eyes lit up. "Why don't you have a brain?"

Vanilla replied, "This servant will deliver the rice. Guess what? She doesn't even use chopsticks. She just directly used her hands to eat. The way she eats is really unbearable. This servant almost vomited when she saw that." No one with a brain would do that. Who wouldn't want to leave a good impression? "

"Mn, today, I met a soft spot at Mu Fei's place. Since Mu Fei didn't know how to appreciate favors, she couldn't stand firm on her feet. "Vanilla, pay more attention to the movements of the cold palace."

"Your servant obeys." "Yes," replied the vanilla, cleverly pouring the Empress Dowager a cup of tea and handing it to her.

On the other side of the Cold Palace, after the vanilla left, Bai Lan came down from the beam and laughed out loud. He didn't stop until he saw the angry look on Leng Qiyue's face.

"Girl, you sure are good at acting stupid."

Leng Qiyue snorted. "If I hadn't done that, how would the empress dowager be moved? She must have met with a problem at Mu Fei's place, so she came to test me. She didn't like women who were too smart. She would find them difficult to control. Think about how hard it is to find a woman who is favored by the emperor and can be controlled. Seeing such a foolish person like me, wouldn't she quickly drag me to her side and form a trusted aide? "

Bai Lan suddenly stopped smiling. She seriously sized up Leng Qiyue and said, "You've changed."

Leng Qiyue was startled, then bitterly smiled. "Can I not change?" She said that if I helped her out of the cold palace, she would find a way to help me and Niu Jun. However, she broke her oath and wanted to kill us both. I am not a very stupid woman. I will never believe the words of the women in the harem again. They treat you well, and you're the one who makes the most money. If you don't have the benefits to drive them, they'd want to stomp you to death. If you want to think about Jun Mo Xie, you can't rely on anyone, not even the Emperor, and you have to rely on me. "Only if I have status and power can I keep my monarch."

Bai Lan also sighed and said, "You're right. If the Emperor's birth mother had half your aura, she wouldn't have died so tragically in the palace."

Leng Qiyue asked, "What kind of person is the emperor's birth mother?"

Bai Lan thought for a moment and said, "I remember the first time I saw the emperor was when I was eight years old. At that time, the empress dowager was the only one in the palace who gave birth to a son. Eunuch Rong had brought them into the palace from the outside. Since the Emperor's mother was a civilian, she had toiled hard every day to raise his children. When she entered the palace, her skin was very dark, and her body had changed shape, so the Emperor dismissed her in the flower garden. Later, when the emperor grew up and gradually revealed his strength, the crown prince felt threatened and the empress dowager ordered the emperor to seal him as a marquis before chasing him out of the palace. "Huan Fei was the only one who had no power or influence, and her only son did not live in the palace with her, so she became the punching bag for the concubines. It could be said that she had been tortured to death."

"Cruelty to death? Does Her Majesty not care? " Leng Qiyue asked.

Bai Lan continued, "What does the empress dowager care? All of those concubines were angered by her. How would they dare to let the empress dowager know if they find the weak and vent their anger on them?"

Leng Qiyue thought for a moment before letting out a cold laugh. "It really makes it difficult for the emperor to play the filial son in front of his enemies."

Bai Lan asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Leng Qiyue analyzed the situation. "I think it's impossible for the empress dowager not to know that those concubines took out Huan Fei to vent their anger. She's just pretending not to know. I think she'd be very happy to see that happen."

Bai Lan was puzzled, "Then why did she do it? "What good will it do her?"

Leng Qiyue smiled. "Actually, it's not that difficult to analyze. First, only the empress dowager and Concubine Huan have princes in the palace." Secondly, the crown prince was the only one in the palace at first, so there was no need to compete for the throne. After growing up, the emperor overshadowed the crown prince, which made her aware of the danger of the throne. "Third, jealousy among women."

"Now that you put it that way, I feel like Huan Fei's death has something to do with the empress dowager."

"It's not just about that. I think that's what she can do. Didn't you say that the concubines would suffer from her? It was possible that she had deliberately used someone else's hand to pull out the thorn in her side. Unfortunately, no matter how she thought about it, she did not expect that her son would have such a short lifespan. In the end, the one who will become emperor will still be Dongfang Haotian. " A trace of a mocking smile hung on the corner of Leng Qiyue's mouth.

Bai Lan took a deep breath and said, "Based on your analysis, the empress dowager is now the emperor's mother's nemesis?"

"Well, you're not stupid. The Emperor cannot touch a hair of the Empress unless he is tired of living. "I think that it won't be long before the emperor's fox tail appears. The first thing he should do is slowly weaken the empress dowager's power."

"Oh my god, Yue'er, you can become a advisor now." Bai Lan looked at her in surprise.

Leng Qiyue coughed and stood up, making a gesture of stroking her beard with one hand. She intentionally said with a straight face, "This old man is the number one strategist of the world. I am a handsome man, loved by all, the flower of flowers blooms, and the tire of a car burst. Mr. Yue is also that!"

Bai Lan's face began to twitch. It took a lot of effort before she managed to spit out a sentence, "What do you mean by seeing a car explode?"

"Eh —" Leng Qiyue covered her face with a hand. How could she explain this to the ancient people?

"Roar ~ ~ ~" Outside, Big Yellow let out a low roar. The faces of the two people in the room immediately changed. Something happened …
