Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1010 The Best Family 137
So Linlang didn't bother to pay attention to the other concubines' complaints about her not sleeping with the emperor and monopolizing the emperor's space. If they really annoyed her, she would use the dream props to make the emperor come to her more often. Then, those concubines would get fewer sleeps with the emperor, making them even angrier.

Not to mention that because Linlang occupied the entire palace alone, she could manage her palace like an iron barrel and was very safe. However, as the emperor grew older and more and more princes came of age, the fight for the throne became more intense.

It is estimated that these people also want to get this done before Linlang's child grows up. In this way, even if Linlang is favored, the emperor cannot make a child of a few years old the crown prince. After all, the country is in doubt when the ruler is young.

In this case, what’s the point of Linlang being favored, and what’s the point of giving birth to a prince? In the end, it will be their sons who will become the emperor.

When their son becomes emperor, they will teach Sun Linlang a lesson and see how arrogant she can be.

However, Linlang dared to say that it would be better for them not to think about seizing the throne for the time being, because according to Linlang's observation, the emperor had no intention of appointing a crown prince at all. The main reason for this was that the emperor had always been in good health. In this case, he naturally did not want to appoint a crown prince, and he wanted to observe more.

According to the results of Linlang's body scan, the emperor ate well, drank well, had adequate nutrition, and was not actually indulgent in women. In addition, he exercised every day, so his body was actually very healthy. As long as there were no accidents, he should have no problem living to be 70 or 80 years old like modern people.

In other words, the emperor still has another 20 to 30 years to live, so those people in the palace who want to be the crown prince, and some even think that the emperor is nearly 50 years old and may not live long, so it is too early to actively prepare to seize the throne.

It would have been fine if the emperor hadn't found out, but if he had found out that they were planning to seize the throne, he would have been unhappy and would probably have dealt with them. After all, who would like to see others trying to divide their property while they are still healthy?

In the midst of these intense competitions, something happened to Concubine Li, just as Linlang had guessed before.

As mentioned before, after the death of Master Wang, Concubine Li lost her support and was like a floating duckweed. In the end, she regarded the cook's maid as her life-saving straw. After the cook's maid was instructed by others to help her solve some problems, she completely regarded the cook's maid as her backer and listened to her in everything.

In this situation, seeing that the emperor was getting older and older and the master behind her was also making intensive preparations to seize the throne, she naturally wanted to remove some obstacles first.

After all, the fewer princes there are, the greater the chances of her son ascending to the throne.

Others were difficult to deal with, but Lipin's son was in his hands, so he was the easiest to get rid of. Therefore, the master behind the cook and the nanny planned to get rid of Lipin's son first.

The method was simple. Just let the cook do it. She was the cook, and Lipin only trusted her cooking now, and didn't dare to eat the food made by others. It was easy to do it. Get some slow-acting poison and put it in the food of Lipin and her son, so that they would be poisoned to death. It was very convenient.

Although Lipin's son is now in his teens, which is considered an adult in ancient times, he no longer lives in the harem but in the prince's residence. However, according to the regulations of this dynasty, the prince is allowed to see his mother a number of times every month. As long as the number does not exceed and he is accompanied by someone, and he cannot see anyone privately, it is fine.

Of course, they were not allowed to walk around or look around, and could only meet their mothers directly - they were afraid that the concubines would fall in love with the young and handsome princes and have affairs with them.

Even the emperor had the same mentality as ordinary men. He could sleep with countless women and cuckold women, but he was terribly afraid of women cuckolding him.

Although there were various restrictions, in general, they were able to enter the harem to see their mother and have meals together. These meals were naturally prepared by the cooks and maids. After all, Concubine Li was not at ease letting her son eat food prepared by others.

In fact, when the prince enters the harem, meeting his mother is secondary. After all, when the prince grows up, his attachment to his mother will not be that strong. The main purpose is to enter the harem and discuss the matter of seizing power with his mother, so as to avoid not meeting and relying on others to pass messages. What if the middleman is bribed and spreads false news? Naturally, they need to meet frequently, exchange news and intelligence, and then exchange opinions on the next step, so as to avoid the two of them working separately and in the wrong direction.

Especially Lipin and her son. Lipin has discovered that she is not smart, so she dare not mess around. She always waits for her son to come and discusses things with him before doing anything.

Although her son was not necessarily smart, and he was not very old, how much ability could he have? When discussing things, it was not that she listened to her son, but that the two of them really discussed it. But it was better than two stupid people doing their own thing. At least the two of them would not do their own thing and not only fail to help each other, but they might also hinder each other because they did not discuss it.

Of course, because Concubine Li trusted the cook's maid, it was said that it was a discussion between mother and son, but in fact, the mother and son decided what to do, and finally the cook's maid came up with ideas, and the two of them would then see if the cook's maid's ideas were good.

Since neither of them was very smart, they always agreed with every idea the cook gave.

This is normal. The cook's maid is smart and can come up with many ideas. More importantly, if there is something she can't solve, the master behind her will help her come up with ideas. If even the master behind her has no idea, the master behind her can still ask her own family. There are many smart people in her master's family. So in most cases, the suggestions given by the cook's maid on things raised by Lipin and her son are all excellent. The two of them can never think of a better idea themselves. Therefore, the mother and son have become more and more trusting of the cook's maid.

As a result, the master behind the cook's maid felt that it was time to close the net, so he asked the cook's maid to drug Lipin and her son. Soon after, Lipin and her son felt something was wrong with their bodies, so they asked the imperial physician to check, and then it was discovered that they were both poisoned.

Under such circumstances, Lipin and her son did not suspect the cook and the maid, and they were still eating the food prepared by her, thinking that someone else had poisoned them. After all, in addition to food, poisoning also involves drinks, cakes, fruits, clothes, etc., and they trusted the cook and the maid so much that they naturally would not think that it was the cook and the maid who did it, but someone else. After all, they thought that their food was made by the cook and the maid, so how stupid must the cook and the maid be to poison them? After all, once they found out that they were poisoned, they would easily think that there was something wrong with the food. Since no one would be so stupid, it meant that the cook and the maid was definitely not suspicious.
