Concubine Xian thought bitterly. She looked at Wu Shian with a hint of love in her eyes, which made Wu Shian happy. He made eye contact with her. Only they knew the meaning in their hearts.
But Concubine Xian was an imperial concubine after all. She still had to go through the necessary formalities. The influential figures of Zeyang County were waiting outside the room to see who had the honor to be received by the imperial concubine.
"Concubine Xian, all the officials and squires of Zeyang County are waiting outside the door. What do you think?"
Wu Shian asked respectfully. How could he see the ambiguity between them?
"Since you are here, let's have dinner together."
Since she was here, Concubine Xian still had this bit of patience. She was in a good mood and said softly.
"Yes!"
Wu Shian was overjoyed. Although Concubine Xian used to be under him, she was an imperial concubine after all. He didn't dare to be rash.
He promised these people to introduce the imperial concubine to them without permission. He was really afraid that Concubine Xian would not give him face and directly refuse, which made him lose face.
But now, Concubine Xian actually wanted to have dinner with everyone. This was enough to give him face.
The news that the imperial concubine was going to have dinner with everyone was like thunder on the ground. The squires and rich people were so excited that their eyes were full of tears. They thanked Wu Shian continuously, which made him gain face.
A lively but quiet dinner was held. The standard and quality of the dinner was even better than three years ago. Those country gentlemen and rich people were even more submissive. They didn't even dare to speak loudly for fear of offending the Imperial Consort.
As a result, during the dinner, except for County Magistrate Zhang who got the implicit hint of the imperial concubine and became high-spirited again from worry, the others didn't even see clearly what the imperial concubine looked like.
After all, she was the imperial concubine, the woman of the emperor. There was a difference between men and women. Even if they ate together, there was a bead curtain between them. Besides, they didn't dare to stare at the imperial concubine. That was a crime of great disrespect.
The dinner quickly ended in such an atmosphere. Even though many of the country gentlemen and rich people were reluctant to part, they had to leave. After all, it was already a great grace that Xian Fei Niangniang was willing to eat dinner with them. If they continued to pester her endlessly, delaying her rest and making her feel disgusted, then it would not be worth it.
This made them even more envious of County Magistrate Zhang, who was the only one at the banquet who had toasted him at a close distance. After leaving the Wu Family, they talked about him enviously. They were afraid that after today, County Magistrate Zhang would have a meteoric rise, not to mention being removed from office and investigated.
It seemed that this confrontation between the Wu Family and Zhao Family had no suspense because of the imperial concubine Xian..
In reality, this was indeed the case. When the Sun Family found out that the Imperial Consort had taken a detour to visit Wu Shian at this critical juncture, they immediately retreated.
If she was only an imperial concubine, Sun family wouldn't dare of her. and Of the Family wouldn the imperial concubine Wu Family. she was. of the Family and.
If she was just an imperial concubine, although Sun family didn't want to offend her, they wouldn't be afraid of her.
But Sun family also had people in the court. They had received the exact news that His Majesty had the intention to appoint Prince Hao, the eldest son of Concubine Xian, as the crown prince.
When Concubine Xian didn't clearly state her position, Sun family could pretend that they didn't know and hit County Magistrate Zhang indirectly to beat Wu Family.
But Concubine Xian's action at the moment was undoubtedly for Wu Family. How would they dare to provoke Wu Family?
A battle of power seemed to have come to an end. Although Sun family lost a little face, they did a favor to Concubine Xian. They would definitely be rewarded in the future. For Sun family, this was not an unacceptable situation.
Even if the infatuated young master Sun cried and made a scene and refused to give up, the master of Sun family still made up his mind to ground him. He strictly ordered him not to be unforgiving so that he wouldn't bring disaster to Sun family in the future.
Although Young Master Sun was a playboy, he was not stupid. After his mother, who doted on him, broke it into pieces and analyzed the current situation for him, all the resentment in his heart suddenly disappeared, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
The future crown prince was the future emperor. He could easily decide the life and death of the entire Sun family. Only a fool would offend such an existence for the father of a doting concubine.
Therefore, Sun family soon restored peace, as if this matter had never happened. Only Zhao Yunting was worried about her father, and she cried every day. However, the other party was so powerful that even her husband's family couldn't afford to provoke him. What could she, a weak woman, do?
However, since Mei decided to make a fuss in this regard, how could she let things calm down like this?
Of course, when Concubine Xian and Wu Shian were reliving the old dream and enjoying the pleasure of sex, the house suddenly collapsed and buried the two of them.
However, it was unknown whether they were lucky or not, but the two of them were safe and sound. It was just that they were too frightened and were shivering like quails.
They weren't afraid of being crushed to death, but the two of them were naked and were seen by the people who came to rescue them.
The adultery was exposed. Even if Concubine Xian was smarter than others, she was helpless at this moment.
Wu Shian was even more panicked. The pride of playing with the emperor's woman was gone at this moment. He could only think of the miserable ending of the Wu family being executed.
If it was only the servants of the Wu family who saw this scene, it would be fine. At worst, those unreliable people would all be killed to silence them.
But the problem was that many of the guards around her weren't her people, but the palace guards. Such a scandal, how could they not report it to the emperor?
But she was worthy of being a cruel and merciless person. She quickly woke up from her daze and a ruthless look flashed in her eyes.
These people must die. Otherwise, the plan that she had painstakingly planned for so long to send her eldest son to the throne of the crown prince would all be ruined. She would also have to face the terrible ending of bringing shame to the royal family and the execution of her whole family.
So, under the hint of her eyes, her trusted subordinates suddenly attacked and raised the butcher's knife to the palace guards.
The palace guards were still immersed in the shock that the seemingly dignified Xian Fei would have an affair with her cousin. Even if their skills were better than Xian Fei's trusted aides, they still suffered heavy losses when they were caught off guard and were ambushed.
"She betrayed His Majesty and even wanted to kill us to silence us. Brothers, kill our way out and escape, and send the news to His Majesty."
One of the injured guards knew that he was going to die, so he shouted loudly. Without a care for his own safety, he stood in front of the other guards, giving them a chance to live.
"What are you still doing? Why don't you let the guards of the Wu family do it? Once this matter is exposed, you and I will die without a burial place."
Concubine Xian saw that Wu Shian was still shivering and was not as fierce as when he was on the bed. She suddenly became angry and shouted.
"Yes, yes, I got it. I will let people do it now."
Wu Shian suddenly woke up from the horror, and his eyes showed ruthlessness. He didn't care about his messy clothes and shouted to the guards of the Wu family who came after hearing the news and didn't know what to do, "These people are the assassins who tried to assassinate the Imperial Concubine. Kill them, kill them."
The guards were suddenly shocked. They actually tried to assassinate the Imperial Concubine. How could they do that? They immediately took out their weapons and joined the siege.
Although the palace guards were strong and far from the guards of the Wu family, Concubine Xian was ambitious. How could she not cultivate some armed forces around her?
A little eunuch who usually didn't reveal himself had turned into a killing god. His cultivation was shockingly high, and every time he made a move, blood would be spilled. The palace guards who were filled with grief and indignation screamed again and again as they were forced back to their original positions.
County Magistrate Zhang, who had just returned home to sleep, received a report from Constable Gao that there was a fierce fighting sound in the Wu family. He immediately got up again and hurriedly organized people to protect the Imperial Concubine.
What a joke. His future and fate had been firmly tied with Concubine Xian. If she had an accident, not only would he lose his position, but he would also lose his head.
Concubine Xian saw that the situation was settled at this time, and she felt a little relieved. After giving the order to kill, she gave Wu Shian a look.
Wu Shian was still in shock and lost his backbone. Seeing this, he immediately went up and said worriedly, "Concubine Xian, what should we do now?"
Although the palace guards would be killed and there was no risk of the news being leaked for the time being, after all, there were too many people. So many people had seen it, and no one could guarantee that they wouldn't say it.
"After dealing with these people, all your people will also …"
Concubine Xian didn't finish her words, but she made a throat-cutting gesture. The vicious look made Wu Shian couldn't help but shiver.
It was true that he was deeply infatuated with Concubine Xian, but he was only infatuated with her virtuous appearance on the surface. How could he expect that she was so vicious?
After all, this was the Wu family. Not to mention the dozens of guards, there were hundreds of servants who saw this scene, including his wives and concubines.
If they were all killed, it was equivalent to cleaning the Wu family from top to bottom. Although Wu Shian was not a good person, he really wasn't that cruel to kill so many people at once.
"A petty man is not a gentleman. You know what will happen if the matter is exposed. You decide what to do."
Concubine Xian's eyes flashed a hint of disappointment, and she said with a cold face.
This Wu Shian looked valiant and full of masculinity, and he also worked hard in bed. She didn't expect him to be so indecisive. He was not a person who would do great things.
Wu Shian gritted his teeth and nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
He was very clear about what would happen to him once the matter was spread out. Even if he couldn't bear it, if he didn't look out for himself, heaven and earth would destroy him. As long as he could safely get through this disaster, even if he had to kill everyone in the Wu family, he wouldn't hesitate.
"Okay, then it's up to you."
Concubine Xian smiled with relief, but the piercing coldness in her eyes didn't dissipate at all.
Although killing was the best way at present, it was not a safe plan.
She also had to rack her brains to think of a proper excuse to deal with the interrogation from the palace.
After all, these people could become the imperial guards, and they were all people with clean backgrounds. After investigation, there was no problem. If they said that they suddenly rebelled and wanted to assassinate her, the imperial concubine, someone had to believe this reason.
This gave Concubine Xian a headache. However, after all, she was a woman who was good at scheming. She quickly thought of a suitable reason.
The main point was that among these imperial guards, there was a person named Guo Ran. He was the cousin of another imperial concubine, Concubine De.
In this harem, he had no friends at all. This Concubine De was young and beautiful, and she was deeply favored by the Emperor. This made her very jealous. At present, she could only use the relationship between Guo Ran and Concubine De to throw the blame to Concubine De. This way, the explanation would be more credible.
