Xiuning Palace.
After Wan Xin came back from the Xinzheku, she immediately entered Liang Fei's bedroom. At this time, Liang Fei was half lying on the chaise lounge looking at a drawing book. Hearing Wan Xin's hurried footsteps, her eyes flashed, and her lily-white hand gently flipped the drawing book in her hand and put it aside.
"Master."
Wan Xin carefully leaned against the chaise lounge, bent over and whispered a few words in Liang Fei's ear. Liang Fei nodded, and her beautiful red phoenix eyes flashed: "Wan Xin, you did a good job, remember to be on time tomorrow."
"Yes."
Wan Xin nodded, and then whispered hesitantly: "Master, about the Prime Minister's residence …"
"Bengong will write a letter to Uncle, telling him not to act rashly. His Majesty's actions these two days have a deep meaning. I'm afraid that the stubborn old fogeys of the Southern Faction will not be able to sit still, and … Bengong also heard that the person in the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful is very angry today, hehe. "
Sneering twice, Liang Fei slowly sat up straight with the help of Wan Xin: "Bengong really can't make up my mind about Yu Guiren's death, but the matter of Jingyun Palace and the Shangfu Bureau must be involved. You must help Bengong find out the truth."
Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy was the only way to win a hundred battles. Liang Fei was born into a noble family in the capital. Her father was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and her uncle was the Left Prime Minister of the current dynasty. She was familiar with military books and had excellent literary talent. When she was young, many children of officials came to marry her. Unfortunately, in the end, she still followed her uncle's request and entered the palace as a concubine.
Because of her good family background, she became an imperial concubine when she first entered the palace and was in love with Dongfang Yao for a period of time, but over time, Dongfang Yao began to alienate her.
In fact, Liang Fei understood in her heart that the Emperor did not like her at all. He made her an imperial concubine just because of her family's face. Even the initial favor was just to make her stay in the harem.
For a woman as intelligent as Liang Fei, Dongfang Yao would not give her the chance to be favored in the six palaces or even to have children.
In this lifetime, as long as her maiden family did not fall, she would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life, until she died of old age in this harem. If unfortunately, her family declined, what awaited her was the ruined courtyard of the cold palace.
In fact, it was just this. If it was a normal woman, she would be content with the situation, but Concubine Liang was not willing. She had a body full of talent, but there was no place for her to use it. She was not willing to be a cold concubine in this huge harem that no one cared about. Did His Majesty not like her? It didn't matter. She could cultivate her own power. She wanted to personally cultivate a beautiful concubine and stir up the harem …
The night was hazy. Most of the people in the Xinzheku had already lined up to take a bath after a day of tiring work, and then couldn't wait to go back to their rooms to rest.
Su Wan did not return to her room at this time. Instead, she was in a daze in the backyard. Not long after, a familiar figure floated over.
Seeing Su Rui's grey inner attendant attire, Su Wan widened her eyes with a smile: "Your Majesty, what are you playing at? Role-playing? "
"Ahem."
Su Rui coughed twice and said seriously: "What else is there to do today? Wife, just tell me what to do. "
Su Wan: … …
It felt like General Su really regarded himself as an outstanding model worker in the country!
"What about tonight, does serving me in the bath count?"
Su Wan tugged at her clothes in disgust: "I've stayed here for two days and I'm going to die of filth from head to toe. Since Your Majesty loves labor so much, help me bathe and change my clothes. If you do well, there will be a reward!"
Reward and whatnot.
Su Rui's face was full of black lines: "It won't be a big tonic soup again, right?"
Seeing General Su's suspicious appearance, Su Wan felt particularly good: "Of course … not."
"That's good, that's good!"
As soon as he heard that his wife finally stopped using big moves, General Su immediately happily carried his wife back to the big bathroom in the palace to take a bath. After taking a bath, Su Wan pulled Wang Yi to the small kitchen to fiddle with things. When she came back again, she was holding a bowl of soup in her hand.
Su Rui: "Didn't you say that there was no big tonic soup?"
Seeing that even Su Rui's face changed, Su Wan smiled and brought the soup bowl to the table: "Then do you want to drink or not?"
"Drink."
Su Rui nodded hard. As a result, as soon as the soup entered his mouth, the mellow taste immediately made his knitted eyebrows stretch out: "Wife, this is …"
"To get rid of your impurities."
Su Wan smiled and shrugged her shoulders, then she strolled to the desk in the warm room and looked at the memorials piled on the table. She casually flipped through them and saw that they were all remonstrations from the Imperial Censorate. Su Wan couldn't help but curl her lips: "Being an Emperor is really tiring!"
Externally, he had to deal with the major events of the imperial court, balance the forces of the various parties in the court, and guard against the internal strife of the various vassal kings.
Internally, the women in the harem fought endlessly all day long, and there was also an ambitious Empress Dowager eyeing him covetously from the side. Ai, Dongfang Yao being an Emperor was really bitter ah ~
Hearing Su Wan's sigh, Su Rui on the side was noncommittal. He had been a vassal king who changed the dynasty and usurped the throne, and he had also been a general who led troops to rebel. Being an Emperor, this was really the first time. General Su really didn't like this position, but since ancient times, there were countless people who broke their heads and racked their brains to sit on this Dragon Throne.
Speaking of which, Dongfang Li was estimated to enter the palace again in a few days. His Royal Highness Rui Wang had always been eyeing this throne covetously, waiting to catch Dongfang Yao's mistakes. Now that Dongfang Yao had started a massacre in the harem, he had already provoked the dissatisfaction of the Southern faction and the Empress Dowager. If Dongfang Li didn't take the opportunity to do something, he would be unworthy of his villain BOSS setting.
Thinking about Dongfang Li in his heart, Su Rui's eyes couldn't help but become complicated. Should that disaster be killed directly to save trouble, or should he keep him for other purposes?
"Master."
Wang Yi's voice suddenly came from afar. He walked in quickly from outside the hall, his body still carrying the chill of the night: "Master, the Empress Dowager has come!"
En?
Su Rui raised his eyes coldly. This Empress Dowager was really impatient. She couldn't keep her cool so quickly?
Rushing to the palace in the middle of the night?
"Master, look, Miss Su, she … …"
Seeing that Su Rui didn't speak, Wang Yi's eyes glanced in Su Wan's direction.
"I'm going to sleep."
Su Wan shrugged her shoulders, put down the memorial in her hand, and directly entered the inner room of the palace. She put down the bright yellow embroidered canopy and her whole person disappeared on the dragon bed.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
At this time, the announcement also sounded, and then the Empress Dowager majestically walked in with 10 palace maids and 10 inner servants.
"Empress Dowager Jin 'an."
Wang Yi directly knelt down and greeted loudly. The Empress Dowager coldly looked at Su Rui, who was still sitting at the table and drinking the soup slowly, and a trace of coldness flashed across her mouth: "Yao 'er, didn't you see Imperial Mother?"
"Ah."
Hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Su Rui lazily raised his eyes: "Zhen's eyes aren't blind. Of course, I see Empress Dowager."
"You … … Yao 'er, you're getting more and more excessive these two days. This harem is under the jurisdiction of Ai jia. It's fine if you casually ordered Noble Yu to die, but yesterday, you even killed Empress Shu. Moreover, in the Shangfu Bureau, you killed four people in a row without saying a word. Do you know that your atrocities have already spread to the imperial court? Many old ministers are very dissatisfied and have already sent memorials to Ai jia's palace!"
Speaking to this point, the Empress Dowager's gaze was sharp and her tone was aggressive.
"Zhen killed people, this world is Zhen's. Zhen can kill whoever he wants? If they're dissatisfied, they can tell Zhen personally. Zhen will kill them until they all shut up. "
After finishing his wife's love soup, Su Rui then took out a bright yellow brocade handkerchief. While elegantly wiping his mouth, he slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at the Empress Dowager in front of him who was wearing a dignified dress: "Empress Dowager, if you're very free, then raise flowers and feed the fish. If you feel lonely, Zhen doesn't mind you casually choosing an imperial uncle to remarry. As for the matters of the imperial court and harem, that's Zhen's matter. Empress Dowager, you don't need to worry about it!"
"Absurd!"
Hearing Su Rui's words, the Empress Dowager's dignified face changed color: "Yao 'er, you're becoming more and more absurd! Before your Imperial Father passed away, he entrusted you to Ai jia. Ai jia will never allow our Dongfang Family's imperial court to decline in your hands! "
Such righteous words did sound quite reasonable, but … …
"Dongfang Family? So Empress Dowager, you also know that this world belongs to the Dongfang Family? "
Su Rui slowly stood up and coldly looked at the Empress Dowager's eyes from top to bottom: "Zhen heard that the Yuan Family has been very rampant in the capital recently. The foreign relatives are causing chaos in the country. Empress Dowager, you wouldn't also want to plot to usurp the throne, right?"
"This … … this is all slander, all rumors!"
Feeling the coldness emanating from Su Rui's body, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but take two steps back, and her tone also weakened: "Ai jia, Ai jia wholeheartedly thinks for the late Emperor and wholeheartedly assists His Majesty. Yao 'er, don't tell me you still don't understand?"
"Yes, Empress Dowager, you and Imperial Father have deep feelings for each other. Zhen sees that you have been missing Imperial Father recently, missing him so much that your whole person is haggard."
Speaking up to here, Su Rui suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "Wang Yi, pass on Zhen's decree. The Empress Dowager is depressed because she misses the late Emperor and is unwell. From today onwards, the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful will close its doors and refuse visitors. If anyone dares to disturb the Empress Dowager's recuperation, no matter who it is, they will all be sentenced to death!"
"You … … Dongfang Yao, you want to put Ai jia under house arrest?"
Hearing Su Rui's words, the Empress Dowager became excited. At this moment, she couldn't care less about the superficial effort and directly called out Dongfang Yao's name: "Dongfang Yao, don't be too presumptuous, Ai jia, Ai jia … …"
"Come, the Empress Dowager is now emotionally agitated and her health is worrying. Still not hurrying to help her back? If anything happens to your master, none of you will be able to live! "
