Chapter 981 The Best Family 108
The trusted nanny did not mention that concubine was the first to harm Concubine Li's son, because she had not found any evidence before. If she said so now, and the emperor also did not find any evidence, then she and Concubine Li would be charged with an additional crime of false accusation, making the emperor think that they were suspicious and that others wanted to harm Concubine Li's son, so they started to harm other people's sons.

If they were to follow their thinking, then all the concubines with princes in the palace could be suspected in this way, and could use this as an excuse to harm them. Wouldn't that mean they were just looking for an excuse to harm others, or were they saying this in order to bite back at others in front of the emperor and clear their own innocence? Because it would make the emperor think so, the confidant nanny didn't say that it was the concubine who first harmed her master's child, because she was afraid that if she couldn't find evidence, the emperor would think that they wanted to bite back, and then he would hate Concubine Li even more, which would be bad.

Because the trusted nanny admitted to everything, the emperor could not find evidence to prove that it was Concubine Li who ordered it. So even though everyone knew that such a trusted nanny must have been instructed by the master, there was no way to convict Concubine Li.

Of course, the main reason was that the emperor still liked Concubine Li very much at that time, so he was willing to let her off the hook. Otherwise, if it was someone who was not favored, he would definitely not let her off so easily.

However, after this incident, although Concubine Li was not punished, the emperor's love for her obviously cooled a lot. After all, the emperor was not stupid. He knew that this matter was most likely instigated by Concubine Li, and it was impossible that her trusted nanny wanted to do it alone.

This is also the reason why Linlang would help that person to deal with the trusted nanny, because she predicted that even if the trusted nanny admitted everything, the emperor was not stupid and would not believe it, and would still be displeased with Concubine Li.

This will lay the foundation for dealing with Concubine Li step by step in the future.

Of course, Concubine Li had lost a powerful nanny. Unless her family sent another powerful nanny, she would be easy to deal with in the future.

However, Linlang felt that there were probably not many people as smart as the previous trusted nanny, and the newcomer might not be as difficult to deal with as the previous nanny.

Even if it is equally difficult to deal with, I will find a way to deal with it when the time comes.

Besides, Concubine Li's family members might not be able to send anyone in for the time being. After all, Concubine Li's trusted nanny was the one who did such a thing, which made the emperor a little unhappy. How could Concubine Li's family members dare to send someone in at this moment? Aren't they afraid that the emperor will become even more dissatisfied with Concubine Li?
If someone else is sent into the palace after a period of time, Concubine Li will be unable to handle the situation alone in the palace. In addition, her strategic ability is average, so she might be dealt with by others.

Sure enough, what happened next was just as Linlang had expected. After the nanny whom Concubine Li relied on the most was killed, Concubine Li felt that there was no one she could rely on in the palace - Concubine Li couldn't trust the others because of the alienation scheme that Linlang had used before - so she wanted her family to send her another reliable confidant.

But her father told her that the emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with her and could not send anyone in right away. He asked her to stay put for the time being. After a period of time, when the emperor gradually forgot about this matter, it would not be too late to send someone in later.

In fact, the harem is now under the management of Concubine Li. If she wants to bring someone in, she only needs to tell Linlang, who is also a concubine and has the same power to manage palace affairs, and she can get that person in. It is not like before, when she had to tell Empress Dowager Wu, and if Empress Dowager Wu disagreed, she could not get anyone in.

Although it is not difficult to get someone in, once the emperor knows that her previous trusted nanny has just passed away and she has brought in a powerful trusted nanny from her mother's family, he will definitely be unhappy. If he treats Concubine Li worse and worse, then Concubine Li will be in trouble. After all, all her wealth and glory depend on the emperor. If the emperor treats her badly, the prince will have no place for her son in the future.

This dynasty is not like the previous dynasties, where the queens and even concubines were very powerful. If they were unhappy with the emperor, they would kill the emperor and then support their own sons to take the throne. This was mainly because at that time, these queens and even concubines were mostly from noble families, with powerful forces behind them to support them to do this.

Before this dynasty, there had been a long period of turmoil, and the aristocratic families had been almost completely wiped out. Therefore, since this dynasty, no concubine's family has possessed such powerful power to kill the emperor, support their own sons to ascend the throne, and then rule the country.

Of course, this is mainly because our dynasty has learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty and does not allow the harem to interfere in politics.

Because the power of the harem was greatly reduced, even if Concubine Li had a son, she still had to act according to the emperor's wishes. Unlike previous dynasties, the emperor sometimes did not dare to let girls from aristocratic families have sons, for fear that after having a son, there would be conflicts with the girls from aristocratic families, and the girls would kill them if they disagreed, and then support their sons to ascend to the throne.

Sometimes it is not limited to daughters of aristocratic families. Even if other concubines give birth to sons, they are a threat to the emperor. After all, daughters of aristocratic families can raise sons born to other concubines under their own names and support sons born to other concubines to ascend to the throne. They can still be the empress dowager and still rule the country.

Without mentioning how dangerous the lives of previous emperors were, we can only say that the emperor of this dynasty will naturally not be in danger. Since the emperor of this dynasty will not be in danger, the pitiful ones are the concubines in the harem. They have to rely on the emperor's favor to live a good life and for their sons to have a hope of becoming the crown prince.

For this reason, Concubine Li did not dare to ignore the emperor's thoughts, so when her parents' family said this, Concubine Li agreed and did not ask her parents' family to bring someone in immediately.

It's no wonder that she was so anxious to get someone in to help her. She was used to discussing things with others, but now she had no one reliable to discuss with. She didn't dare to trust the other palace maids and eunuchs. For a moment, Concubine Li was like a headless fly, and she had no idea how to survive in the palace.

That's right. In the past, it was her trusted nanny who arranged everything for her, so she didn't have to worry about anything.

Now that her trusted nanny is dead, there is no one to help her make arrangements, leaving her at a loss as to what to do next.

Also, someone had tried to target her son before, and it was impossible that there would be no one now. And she had lost her trusted nanny, and she didn't know how to prevent this. She could only keep her son by her side as much as possible to prevent him from being attacked.

Fortunately, the emperor had dealt with the matter between him and the concubine who filed the complaint, and had killed a group of people. This might shock some people for a while, so he was not in too much danger for the time being.

She just hoped that this storm would pass quickly, and when the emperor had forgotten what happened before, her family would be able to send another person into the palace. Then she would have someone to rely on, and she wouldn't have to be as helpless as she is now.
