Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 958 The Best Family 85
Of course, if the emperor could deal with these eunuchs and female officials, that would naturally be a good thing. After all, who likes these greedy people?

Or maybe, although the emperor did not take any action, the eunuchs and female officials read the leaflet and were afraid that the emperor would take action, so they did not dare to commit crimes in defiance of the law. This month, they were given normal rouge and powder so that the people arranged by Concubine Li could not complain. That was also a good thing.

In short, Linlang broke the plan set by Concubine Li with just this one move.

Not only did it ruin the plan set by Concubine Li, but if the emperor dealt with this matter, he would also clean up a large number of Concubine Li's people. This is because over the years, Concubine Li, taking advantage of the opportunity to manage palace affairs, has arranged many female officials and eunuchs who have defected to her in important positions, just to pave the way for her son to ascend to the throne and develop power in the future. If the emperor really dealt with this matter, Concubine Li would lose a large number of her diehard fans. Concubine Li wanted to harm others, but ended up shooting herself in the foot. She didn't hurt Linlang at all, but hurt herself.

When Concubine Li saw the leaflets in the palace, she obviously thought of this and her face turned grim.

She also felt that there were too many people on the flyer, and the emperor could not possibly deal with so many of them, so she looked unhappy, not because she was afraid that her people would be dealt with by the emperor, but because after this matter was exposed, it would be almost impossible for those unfavored concubines to complain about the bad rouge and powder and cause trouble for Concubine Sun. After all, the emperor had known about this a long time ago and did not deal with it. If they complained again at that time, it would not be Linlang's fault. After all, the emperor did not deal with it, so there was no reason to blame Linlang.

The emperor might even blame those unfavored concubines for not showing any face. There had been such leaflets in the palace for a long time, but he did not deal with them. Couldn't they see his intention? And they came to complain? Isn't this just trying to slap himself in the face? So it is very likely that the emperor would dislike those unfavored concubines, making them even more unfavored.

As for those concubines who were not favored, as long as they were smart, they would think of this point and would not be persuaded by herself to go and complain about this matter. In other words, this leaflet broke the plan she had set for Sun Linlang, and Sun Linlang would be safe.

——In fact, her spies had already found out that there were concubines who were no longer favored. After the appearance of this leaflet, they no longer planned to complain after the rouge and powder were distributed this month, even if the quality was still as bad as before.

So Concubine Li looked unhappy, partly because of this.

Furthermore, when she thought that if this flyer was published, Linlang would be safe and would not be tricked by her, she wondered whether this flyer was the work of Sun Linlang. After all, if it was not done by Sun Linlang, who else in the palace would have the leisure to do such a thing?

And if it was Sun Linlang's work, then a problem arises - that is, Sun Linlang must have discovered that he was going to use this matter against her, so she exposed the matter in advance and ruined the plan she had set up. Otherwise, if she hadn't discovered that he was going to use this matter against her, even if it was an unfavored concubine and the rouge and powder she was given were of poor quality, it would have nothing to do with her, and she wouldn't have needed to expose the matter.

If Sun Linlang knew that she was going to use this to deal with her, a new question would arise: how did Sun Linlang know that she was going to use this to deal with her? Because only a few of her confidants knew about her plan, could it be that Sun Linlang bribed someone among them?
But those people are all my confidants, who would betray me?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel scared. After all, all of a sudden, she didn't know who to believe and who not to believe.

——In fact, this is also one of the goals that Linlang wants to achieve. Once Concubine Li thinks deeply about the flyer, she will think that it is possible that she did it in order to break the trap set by Concubine Li.

She only talked about this with her confidants, so she would soon become suspicious of them. Even if Concubine Li didn't dare to ask them about this, lest it damage their relationship, it would still plant a thorn in Concubine Li's heart, making her less willing to ask them to do anything in the future. It would also be equivalent to tying Concubine Li's hands and feet in disguise, which was not bad.

There was another reason why Concubine Li had an ugly expression on her face. That was that the things listed on the flyer were so detailed, and many things she knew were listed on it, which meant that what the flyer said was not false, but mostly true.

And if it is true, what does it mean? It means that the person who distributed the leaflets is extremely powerful, otherwise it would be impossible for him to find out so much information. You know, even she, who is powerful, only knows some of them and cannot know them so comprehensively.

If this was Sun Linlang's work, then why did Sun Linlang have such a powerful power that she didn't even know about? After all, as far as she knew from her investigation, Sun Linlang was of low birth and had no support in the palace. She seemed to be a person with little power.

If her trusted nanny hadn't reminded her that many people who had caused trouble for Sun Linlang ended up inexplicably meeting with misfortunes, she would never have thought that Sun Linlang was so powerful.

At that time, she was wondering how Sun Linlang did it if those people were really sent by her.

Now the situation has come to her. She wanted to harm Sun Linlang, but Sun Linlang easily broke the trap she set. How could she not be terrified? She wondered if Sun Linlang had some power that she didn't know about, otherwise how could she have broken the trap she set so easily? And she couldn't find out that it was her who did it, nor could she find out her power?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Sun Linlang was mysterious and scary, so naturally her face turned ugly out of fear.

Now she believed her trusted nanny's judgment about Sun Linlang, and felt that there was indeed something wrong with Sun Linlang.

But she couldn't find out what was wrong with Sun Linlang, so she had no choice but to be afraid.

She now prayed that the emperor would not interfere in this matter. Otherwise, if the emperor did, the forces she had built up over the years would be uprooted.

When she thought that she just wanted to plot against Sun Linlang, she didn't expect that not only did she fail to deal with Sun Linlang, but on the contrary, Sun Linlang counterattacked and tried to uproot her people. How could she not be afraid of such a small effort to achieve a great result?

Fortunately, the emperor did not deal with it, just as most people thought, because the leaflets involved too many people.

Of course, it's not that no action was taken at all. After investigation, the emperor still dealt with a few people who had killed people or made too much money. The first was to give an explanation to the unfavored concubines in the palace whose supplies were withheld, and the second was to kill a chicken to scare the monkey, so as to deter others and make those people restrain themselves.
