The reigning Empress will be confined for one year, and Consort Liu will be sent to the Cold Palace.
Then won't the Inner Palace be completely empty?
In this way, even if the Empress Dowager doesn't intentionally place people around Wei Shu, all sorts of ambitious individuals will surely try everything to crowd around him.
By the time she emerges from confinement a year later, most likely new people will have replaced the old ones.
The old lady truly has deep calculations.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mianmian turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down: "Royal Grandmother, this matter is entirely my fault. It has nothing to do with the Empress. I am willing to die to atone for my sins; please do not punish the Empress!"
Su Luo shot her a glare: "You, be quiet! You are merely a concubine now. This is not the time or place for you to speak."
Though it looked like scolding, Liu Mianmian understood it was her way of keeping her out of the matter.
