In Kunning Palace, Han Yu'an wrote to cross off the names on the list.
Everyone else felt that the queen was theirs.
But no one knew that she had been setting up a trap in the cold palace for three years. Talent inventory, performance appraisal, and 360-degree environmental assessment are all three strategies. The family members thought she was at their mercy in their own territory, but all the power in the court had fallen into her hands.
On the day she defeated Lu Bing, she said to Xiao Yan, "No, it was like killing five birds with one stone."
The whole court was shocked to realize that the queen who was treated as a decoration was the chess player.
Emperor Xiao Yan doesn't trust anyone.
He gave Han Yu'an the post just because she was helpless and the "safest", but when she took every step to take back power for him, he panicked - was this sincerity, or was it a bigger problem?
That day he set up a trap to test: "What if I hand you over?"
The room was filled with dead silence.
Han Yu'an lowered his head and said in a calm voice, as if he was saying that the weather is nice today: "I accept the order."
There was no crying, no questioning, no "I have done so much for you".
Xiao Yan froze on the spot, as if a piece of his heart had been cut out.
He suddenly understood - she was the only one in the world who never wanted anything from him. She did all this just because he was her husband.
Later, the courtiers discovered that His Majesty, who only focused on political affairs, began to clumsily put a fox fur on her, keep her high fever, and remember every word she said casually.
Two people who had been let down by the whole world began to get closer in that sentence "I am a concubine."
She never talks about love, and he never trusts people. With a word of "acceptance", two people who lacked love exchanged their lives.
