Chapter 321 Do You Know - Xiao Qinshi 48
This was the first time that Zhao Qi wanted to understand Qin Wanrong's experiences. Now that he had grown up, he finally understood his biological mother Qin Wanrong. However, his understanding came too late. Qin Wanrong was no longer needed. No matter how Zhao Qi tried to keep her, he failed. After Zhao Qi decided on the queen, Qin Wanrong handed over the palace affairs to the second prince's mother, the Queen Mother, and went to the royal temple to practice meditation with a few confidants.
Qin Wanrong's behavior was not only confusing to Zhao Qi, but also to her trusted clerk, Nanny Xing and even Liang Duzhi. Qin Wanrong did not explain, but just confirmed the thoughts of several people again. If they were willing to put down everything and go to the imperial temple with her, then they could go together. If they were not willing, it was okay, and she would help everyone arrange the follow-up.
As expected, the final result did not disappoint Qin Wanrong. Everyone chose to give up everything and follow Qin Wanrong out of the palace.
In a blink of an eye, Qin Wanrong has been practicing in the imperial temple for three months, and the new emperor has married the queen - Zhang Guifen, the niece of Duke Yingguo. Yes, Zhao Qi's queen is Zhang Guifen, who was forced by Queen Shen to marry Uncle Shen in "Knowing Your Destiny", and the "best friend" of the heroine Sheng Minglan.
The Duke of Yingguo's family is full of loyal and brave people. Many men of the Zhang family sacrificed their lives for the country and died on the battlefield. As the Duke of Yingguo's elderly daughter, Zhang Guifen's status and education naturally make her worthy of the position of queen.
With the cooperation of the Zhang family, although Zhao Qi was young, he was able to secure the throne. Everyone, including Qin Wanrong's confidants, thought that Qin Wanrong left the palace because she saw that Zhao Qi had secured the throne. No one knew what Qin Wanrong's real plan was.
Only Liang Duzhi, who knew Qin Wanrong's identity as a "monster", was very suspicious. Seeing that three months had passed and Qin Wanrong still hadn't made any move, Liang Duzhi finally couldn't help it. He found Qin Wanrong who was copying the scriptures and asked her.
"My lady, are you really going to leave it at that?"
Qin Wanrong did not say anything, but picked up the written scripture at hand and motioned Liang Duzhi to take a look. Although Liang Duzhi was puzzled, he took the scripture and took a look.
"what?"
So the Queen is not copying scriptures? This is... the position and name of the minister? What is the Queen trying to do by writing this down?
Liang Duzhi suddenly felt a little panicked. He felt that the guess in his mind was too scary and he didn't dare to say it.
Qin Wanrong looked at Liang Duzhi's panic with amusement, and asked with a smile: "Do you know why I gave up on him so decisively just because of a bad word from the official when we were children?"
When Liang Duzhi heard Qin Wanrong's question, his ears trembled twice involuntarily. Although he was very dissatisfied with the emperor's hurtful words to the empress, Liang Duzhi did think that the empress's reaction was too decisive. It was just that he had previously thought that the empress was too paranoid about her feelings for her relatives because of her experience in the Dongchang Marquis's Mansion. Once it was not pure, she would rather throw it away than eat the half-cooked rice. Now, from what the empress said, there was something else behind this?
Liang Duzhi cooperated and asked: "I don't know, please enlighten me, Madam."
Ever since Qin Wanrong became the Empress Dowager, Liang Duzhi felt that he had lost the value of being "with" Qin Wanrong. Not only did he not dare to hug Qin Wanrong like before, he also directly changed his words to call Qin Wanrong "Empress".
Qin Wanrong didn't care much about Liang Duzhi's change, but she still trusted him very much, even more than Wenshu and Xing Ma. For this reason, she could tell Liang Duzhi everything that she couldn't tell Wenshu and the others.
"Because I found that being the Queen Mother is not enough, I want to be the ruler of the world!"
"Although Zhao Qi is my biological son, he is both an excuse and an obstacle for me on my path to becoming the ruler of the world!"
It sounds nice, but the truth is that Qin Wanrong didn't think Zhao Qi was her own child, and because of the experience of Qin's previous life, she believed that sons were unreliable. For this reason, it would be bad if she had feelings for Zhao Qi after spending too much time with him on the road to power. In order to avoid feeling sorry for him in the future, and to legitimately withdraw her protection from Zhao Qi, Qin Wanrong took the opportunity to separate herself from Zhao Qi.
In the plot, after Emperor Zhao Zhen died, Emperor Zhao Zongshi ascended the throne, but died after only three years in office, and Emperor Zhao Zongshi's eldest son ascended the throne. Now Zhao Qi's body is ruined, and according to the inertia of the plot of "Do You Know?", he must have less than three years to live.
If he, the anomaly, had intervened at the beginning and exchanged those life-saving pills for Zhao Qi, perhaps the direction of the plot could have been changed, but unfortunately Zhao Qi blocked Qin Wanrong's path to power. In addition, Zhao Qi's nature was too selfish and he failed to impress Qin Wanrong. Qin Wanrong did not harm him personally, which was considered a mercy.
Liang Duzhi also understood. He was about to ask why, but when he looked up, he saw that Qin Wanrong still had that indifferent look on her face, so he suddenly shut up.
Yes, your Majesty is a fairy, how can a fairy love a mortal?
Liang Duzhi suddenly felt that Zhao Qi was a little sad, but when he thought about himself, he suddenly became happy. It seemed that in the fairy's heart, he was more important than Zhao Qi, her biological child? At least only he knew these things, and no one else knew.
Qin Wanrong noticed that Liang Duzhi's mood suddenly became active, and she felt puzzled for a moment, but Liang Duzhi had been emotionally unstable in front of Qin Wanrong for a long time. Qin Wanrong did not ask much, but took out another jade bottle and put it on the table.
"Here are thirty pills. I want you to find a way to get the ministers on the list to eat them within one year!"
Liang Duzhi has been leading the East Factory for so many years. How can he really let go of everything when he said he would? Qin Wanrong knew this clearly. Liang Duzhi also knew that he could not hide it from Qin Wanrong, so he obediently took the medicine bottle, put it in his arms and went to do it.
After Liang Duzhi left, Qin Wanrong opened her reputation system. Now her reputation value has accumulated to more than one million. She used 300,000 reputation points to exchange for 60 Loyalty Pills, and now she has 700,000 left. Liang Duzhi gave 30 Loyalty Pills to 30 key officials, and Qin Wanrong planned to use the remaining 30 on the Jinyiwei.
But this matter cannot be asked to be done by the people from the East Depot, and the Jinyiwei cannot be too close to the East Depot. Qin Wanrong plans to wait for an opportunity to meet the people from the Jinyiwei and use the loyalty pill to persuade one of them to defect, and then feed the remaining loyalty pills to that person.
As to why Qin Wanrong didn't do it when she was in the palace, firstly, it was because Qin Wanrong's reputation was not enough at that time. After all, she had only been promoted twice and had only hundreds of thousands of reputation. Secondly, it was because her status was not enough. The effect of the loyalty pill was related to the status of the loyal master. Even if Qin Wanrong used the loyalty pill at that time, she still could not recruit those who were loyal to her above her status to serve her.
Things are different now. Qin Wanrong's reputation has increased tenfold from being a noble concubine to a queen, and then from a queen to an empress dowager. In addition, the old emperor is dead now. Even though the new emperor has a higher status than herself, there are not many people loyal to him, and most people are still on the sidelines.
