"It is indeed naive." Shen Haolin nodded towards Xue Ruitian, "The Qinglian Sect is still very active, but we can't see it, or in other words, they don't let us see it."
"What my brother is saying is that the Green Lotus Sect is just temporarily retaining its own power because our annihilation efforts have been a little stronger, leaving our Daxia and our Xijing, and moving to a more private place to recuperate." Shen Cha sighed softly, ""Moreover, the time they spent hiding was inextricably linked to the death of the Empress Dowager. Although the Empress Dowager was not the founder of the Qinglian Sect, she and her family It is absolutely inseparable from the Qinglian Sect."
"Well, this statement is really convincing." Xue Ruitian thought for a while and said, "But why did you attack my mother?"
"It's not very clear yet. We don't have to slowly peel off the cocoon to know the original truth." Shen Cha thought for a while, but still concealed the role of Mrs. Xuehou in this. She herself couldn't figure out the role of the Xue family. It's hard to talk to Xue Ruitian about a certain role. "Now that we know where the source is, we are not in a hurry."
"No, think about how much better we are than our parents, grandparents, and grandparents. Maybe these bedbugs in the gutter will be destroyed by us in the end." Xue Ruitian nodded, chuckled, and continued, " Let’s put this aside for now, regardless of the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Green Lotus Sect, and continue to study the Queen Mother, I am very interested in her now.”
"There are not many people who can interest Brother Xiaotian."
"Really?" She should be somewhat famous in Xijing City, and even her children would be known to others. How did she manage that no one knew about her before she became the crown prince’s concubine?”
"It's not necessarily that she doesn't understand." Jin Miaomiao touched her chin, "I think that everything is arranged by someone. If she is really unknown, there is no possibility that she will be included as a candidate for the crown princess or the crown prince's concubine, right? Right?" She looked at Uncle Yan, Qin Zheng, and then at Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu, "I don't know much about this. Do I need someone to recommend me if I want to be qualified?"
"Yes." Song Qiyun nodded, "There was indeed something wrong with the person who recommended her at the beginning, but after her brother's incident happened, I'm afraid no one will pursue the recommendation anymore, right?"
"It doesn't matter, let's investigate slowly. As long as it happened, it will leave traces."
"Xiao Cha is right." Shen Haolin nodded, "Uncle Yan, please continue telling the story after that palace banquet."
"Yes, Master, what happened next?" Shen Cha yawned, rubbed his eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "What we know now is that the Empress Dowager is becoming the Imperial Concubine. Afterwards, the girl from her cousin's family was brought to Xijing in order to gain access to the important ministers and ministers around the emperor's grandfather, right? The first person she plotted was her master. Because of her master's rejection, she came up with the idea of staying in the palace She plotted against Master at the banquet. However, after several attempts to plot against him failed, she encouraged her niece to throw dirty water on Master in public."
"When this niece learned that all the prospects that the Empress Dowager had painted for her were impossible to come true, she was so devastated that she sold the Empress Dowager." Jin Miaomiao continued what Shen Cha said, "The Empress Dowager is in her natal family's home. At that time, there were two businesses in secret, one was special aromatherapy, and the other was a secret that this girl didn't even find out, right?"
“That’s a good summary.”
"Then, can we guess that these two things are not the only things that the Empress Dowager uses to control the wives and ladies of merchant families in Xijing City? There are probably others that we don't know about."
"That's for sure. Later, we can see how many people were arrested because of the Qinglian Sect. Their methods are not simple." Shen Cha thought for a while, and an idea flashed through her mind. , but she couldn't catch it. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure out what the problem was, so she could only put it aside for the time being. "Master, what happened next? What else did the girl say?"
"Those words she said before seemed not to be of particular concern at the time, but now that you say that she is related to the Qinglian Sect, and is even the leader of the Qinglian Sect, then those things in the past need to be carefully considered. The girl said that since she entered the palace to accompany the old witch, in addition to what we mentioned before, she also discovered that the girl next to her left the palace every ten days, supposedly to return to her parents' home for the imperial concubine. Every time she left empty-handed, Then he came back with big and small bags. The things he brought back were all pastries and the like. It is said that the family members felt sorry for her and brought her some taste of home." Uncle Yan thought for a while, "But that girl also As I said, the big and small bags were first given to the old witch, and the few people were locked in the room for a while before they came out again. The so-called smell of home was distributed to other people in the palace, and the old witch never touched it. He looked at Shen Cha, "Your imperial grandfather can confirm this. He also received this so-called taste of home."
"It means that the smell at home is not the important point. The important thing is the smell that comes with the home..." Shen Cha thought for a while, "Some news, it seems that the purpose of their leaving the palace is to convey the news and bring the palace to the palace." What is collected inside is spread out, and what is collected outside the palace is sent in." She sighed softly, "This method is very covert and will not be easily noticed."
"That's right." Uncle Yan nodded, "We didn't think much after hearing this at the time. We just felt that the old witch was not that attached to the family." He shrugged, "Then, the girl said that the old witch wanted to The reason for marrying the girl next to you to a noble family in Xijing is because she knows that she is not valued by your emperor's grandfather and may be rejected at any time. If she has a relationship with your emperor's grandfather, then your emperor's grandfather will look after her brother. For my own sake, be a little nicer to her."
"Hmm..." Jin Miaomiao touched her chin and thought for a moment, "Actually, considering her situation in the palace at the time, this statement is completely acceptable. She may be taking advantage of this to make people mistakenly think that she is All her efforts were spent on competing for favor, while she ignored what she really wanted to do and what she really wanted to achieve."
