Chapter 216 The Imperial Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 05

Tao Ran felt his temples twitching.

This harem is so terrible.

She doesn't want to play!

Who doesn’t know that palace battles are brutal, and most modern people wouldn’t survive three episodes of a palace battle drama?

You see, the emperor and his concubine had conflicts, and their relationship with the empress was not good either.

The two sides were at odds with each other, and no one was paying attention to the other. Tao Ran felt that if the plot was not brought to an end, she would probably be dead. Especially since she hates the emperor and dislikes the concubine, how is this possible?

Others are mostly hermaphrodites who cannot see through their true colors.

The relationship in the palace is complicated. The four concubines sitting across from each other and chatting not long ago seemed to be in the same camp, but they all spoke with guns and sticks, and each of them had their own thoughts.

Take Concubine Yu, who is holding her with a concerned look on her face, she looks like a good person. But in fact, who knows?

"Sister, are you okay? Sister, it scared me and my sister. Thank you that the emperor arrived in time, otherwise it would be unimaginable."

As Concubine Yu said this, her eyes were almost fixed on the emperor. Her goal is clearly still with the emperor. The main purpose of standing up for the imperial concubine is to curry favor with the emperor, express a position, and gain attention...

It would be a bit too real to take her action as a good intention.

If nothing else, the emperor who had just left turned back, was it her people who invited him, right?

Sure enough, the emperor watched the concubine leave and quickly returned to the bedside after hearing this.

"My dear concubine, it was Concubine Yu and Guiren Qiu who sent people to invite me. Concubine Yu, you two have done a great job! You will be rewarded!"

The two palace concubines looked shy and thanked her together.

"Thank you." Tao Ran tried to keep his words as simple as possible, his voice sounding like a mosquito.

After speaking, she quickly tilted her head.

Dr. Wang came over to take a look, took his pulse, and prescribed medicine.

The emperor asked her to have a good rest and said he would come back later. Concubine Yu and Qiu Guiren also left...

After ordering the palace maid to step back, Tao Ran suddenly opened his eyes.

She got up and searched for it, and finally found a dagger in the bedside table.

Lying back on the bed, she drew her dagger.

"I want a plot. If you don't give it to me, I will commit suicide. If you play with me like this, my death is not far away. Instead of suffering and being humiliated, it's better for me to finish it off cleanly!"

no response?

"It doesn't matter if I die in reality. Anyway, my life span is only three months. Just treat the previous mission as if I did it in vain. My loss is not big, but what about you?"

"If I die here, your mission is considered a failure. Does it have any impact on you? Seeing that you care so much about me and always stare at me, maybe I am the only one who is doing your best to help you, right? You should Don't you have high hopes for me? You are so cautious, so uneasy about me, so secretive, and you still want to test me. Is my ability particularly important to what you want? "

"Well, if you tease me, I can also trick you."

"Listen, I'm threatening you now. Either you give me a clear answer, or I will use this dagger to kill myself. If you and I cooperate, we are on equal footing. Don't make yourself superior. One end. My aunt is very unhappy now, I’ll give you ten seconds, you choose!”

Tao Ran started counting down.

"nineteen……"

The dagger went to his neck.

"Seven...six..." Still no response.

"Five...four..." With more strength in his hand, the blade was close to his neck.

"Three..." The blade on his neck was already red.

Finally, at this time, the familiar feeling of dizziness came over, and Tao Ran exhaled.

At the same time, she seemed to hear a reluctant snort from the woman in the void.

The plot is coming!

A speechless story.

Xingguo is a country that is neither big nor small, with a land area about one-quarter of the size of Taoran's mother country. The country is bordered by barbarian lands to the north and south, mountains to the west, and the sea to the east. The products are relatively rich and the people's lives are pretty good.

This is mainly due to the previous emperors of this dynasty. Although the battle for the throne has been fierce, at last the emperors still knew that they took the overall situation into consideration and would not lose too much at critical moments. Therefore, the overall situation of this dynasty is stable.

The current emperor ascended the throne four years ago.

It should be said that he is not a direct descendant, nor is he an elder, and his mother's family has no abilities. His biological mother is just the most ordinary palace maid compared to the noble daughters of the rich and powerful families.

But I can't stand this man's good luck.

The brothers at the front fought openly and secretly, and ended up dead and disabled. In the end, the late emperor almost couldn't find a successor.

Just think about it, yes.

In the early years, a prince was raised outside the palace because a Taoist priest said his fate was bad. Calculating my age, I have just reached adulthood, and my taboo fate will no longer conflict with the palace.

As a result, the fifth prince was accused of being the new king.

Seeing that his mother's family was not prominent and that he was not raised by his side, the late emperor was naturally worried that his son would not be qualified for that high position. Therefore, in addition to pointing out four highly respected ministers who took care of his life, the late emperor also opened his harem to help him stabilize his rear.

The queen refers to the legitimate daughter of the Chen family, a wealthy family in the current dynasty. The Chen family is the leader among the elders. With the support of the elders, even if the emperor is just waiting to die, he can still be stable for decades. Chen was dignified, elegant and well-known, so she was the perfect choice for the queen.

The late emperor then pointed at the noble concubine, the current owner of Tao Ran's body, Yu Tong. The three generations of the Yu family were loyal and good, and they held military power. Their ancestors were awarded the title of General Zhongwu by the ancestor emperor. Regardless of their prestige or ability, they were the first military generals in the dynasty. And Yu Tong is the only daughter of the younger generation of the Yu family, who is regarded as a pain in the eyes by a rough man.

There should be no problem if there are such civil and military wives and concubines in the harem who are in charge of the overall situation.

Before his death, the late emperor did not forget to select several girls from well-known or wealthy families, or with a good reputation, into the harem, and told his son not to forget that the harem was also a means to balance the power of the previous dynasty...

On the day Yu Tong entered the palace, she discovered that she had a relationship with the current emperor, and the young girl regarded this as fate.

The emperor was also very surprised to see Yu Tong, and the two hit it off.

Playing the piano, se, and singing, the two extremely loving figures are spread throughout the palace.

For many days, the emperor got tired of spending time with the imperial concubine after handling government affairs.

The imperial concubine is loved by thousands of people - so said both inside and outside the palace.

The queen is wronged, and all the flowers in the palace are wronged.

So, one word of advice flew into the palace.

The emperor had no choice but to bear the rain and dew equally.

But even so, no matter how beautiful the flowers in the harem are, no matter how beautiful the newcomers are, the concubine's favor is still the first one.

Gradually, the emperor also handed over the power of co-management of the harem to the concubines.

Yu Tong actually didn't care, but the emperor said that he needed her to keep an eye on the harem for him so that he could feel at ease.

Because of this sentence, Yu Tong, who is not good at intrigues and intrigues, can only bite the bullet.

She was not good at it, so the emperor supported her. Give her the greatest encouragement and the greatest tolerance.

With the emperor's support, the imperial concubine is now more popular than the empress.

The queen was naturally unwilling to do so.

In a few years, two camps headed by the queen and the noble concubine were formed.
