Chapter 295 A Deal
Empress Dowager's party and the Empress's party had been fighting for many years. Even if they didn't know everything about each other, they at least knew some.
Since Empress Dowager Gu set the strategy of attacking instead of defending, her party members all went on the move. They tried all they could to dig up the dirt of the Empress's party.
Even though the Empress's party had foreseen this before they attacked. Yet because they were worried to leak the information, other than the important ones, everyone else was warned after the tragedy of Qingfeng Ji. Those who were usually cautious or upright were fine. The ones who were bossy and swanking naturally became the targets!
After Duan Jin committed suicide and Qingfeng Ji was closed, a dozen of middle- and high-level officials of the Empress's party were also taken down. At the moment, both Empresses all took a huge hit. In this intense fight, even the neutral ones felt they couldn't take it.

Let me tell you what's wrong with that. It's true that the contradiction between us and the first branch is an issue of interest, but we, the fourth branch, are not the ones who hate the Dou Family most! So if He Shuijin showed this account because of the contradiction between the third branch and the first branch, she had given this to our grandmother rather than you."He squinted slightly and said, "Especially now something happened to the Tao family.

After all, Xue Fangmi didn't actually say anything outrageous today."Qiu Yelan smiled, "But what I said was also not outrageous. Why Xue Fangmi got mad so quickly? She is a petty person, but she also knows how to act. Don't you think she purposely came after me?"Xin Fubing didn't waste the recent teaching on how to be a Crown Princess.
