Chu Ze was furious when he heard this. He comforted Qin Yunyun with a few words, and then called all the ministers to discuss: "Now Hong Chengchou has been executed, but his followers have not been eliminated, and there will be endless troubles. There have been a series of incidents in the palace, there must be a traitor!"

"How can we let this matter go? My dear ministers, do you have any suggestions?"

Yu Dayan took the order and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, I think the most urgent task is to stabilize the harem. The Queen and the Prince were killed, and I am missing. I am afraid that this will greatly damage your Majesty's reputation!"

"That's right." Chu Ze nodded in approval. "First, send someone to thoroughly investigate the deaths of the queen and the prince, and make sure they get justice!"

"As for Concubine Qin, from today on, she will be my queen and will rule the harem with me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the officials' faces suddenly changed.

You have to know that Qin Yunyun is just a concubine. If she is rashly canonized as queen, it will probably cause controversy!

What's more, it is unbecoming for the emperor to establish a new queen before the former queen's body has even warmed up.

Facing the questioning looks from his ministers, Chu Ze did not take it seriously.

"My dear ministers, don't worry too much." He said calmly, "I have made up my mind, my dear ministers, just follow my instructions."

After saying that, he took Qin Yunyun's hand and said loudly: "Queen Qin, it's time to get going!"

Qin Yunyun blushed with shame and asked, "Your Majesty, this..."

Chu Ze had already walked out of the palace gate with big strides, and Qin Yunyun had to follow him in small steps.

Looking at the two people's receding backs, Yu Daying and others looked at each other, with surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

The young eunuch saw that the emperor and his ministers were all silent, and hurriedly stepped out to report: "My lords, the emperor has already left, why don't you follow him?"

The ministers then came to their senses and hurriedly followed.

The group marched towards Jingyang Palace in a mighty procession.

Yu Daying, however, had a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was weighed down with many things on his mind.

"The Emperor has just ascended the throne, and he wants to depose the Empress and establish a concubine. This is too hasty." He murmured to himself, "This move will inevitably attract criticism. If we are not careful, I am afraid it will shake the foundation!"

With a lot on his mind, he galloped all the way and soon arrived outside Jingyang Palace.

The palace gate was wide open, and palace maids were waiting outside. Chu Ze and Qin Yunyun walked in side by side, their demeanor was truly noble.

All the ministers followed closely behind, holding their breath and waiting for the emperor's decision.

After entering the main hall, Chu Ze dismissed everyone and chatted with Qin Yunyun alone in the bedroom.

The pair of perfect friends would either look at each other affectionately or whisper to each other, and from time to time they would let out laughter as loud as silver bells, which would make people blush when they heard it.

After a long time, the two walked out hand in hand and applied for a wedding.

On that day, Chu Ze officially appointed Qin Yunyun as the Empress of the Central Palace and bestowed upon her great honor.

Red candles burned brightly, drums and music played, officials came to congratulate, and the whole country celebrated.

That day, Chu Ze held the hand of the new queen and walked slowly into the Golden Throne Hall under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Looking at the beauty beside him, Chu Ze felt overflowing with happiness and his heart was surging.

He finally had a wife who was willing to share weal and woe with him, a virtuous wife who could help him support the country!

From then on, Chu Ze worked hard to govern the country, appointed wise officials, and cleaned up the government.

Queen Qin lived up to expectations, managed the household well, and lived in harmony with Chu Ze.

All the civil and military officials in the court were moved that with such a wise ruler and a virtuous queen, the Ming Dynasty would surely prosper forever!

However, behind this peaceful and prosperous era, undercurrents are surging and crises are lurking everywhere.

An inconspicuous palace maid was sneaking towards the imperial garden. She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one around. She quickly came to a rockery and saw a cloaked figure standing with his back to her.

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here." The palace maid whispered.

Upon hearing that, the figure slowly turned around, revealing a face that looked like a ghost!
"Well done." The visitor said sinisterly, "When will that bitch arrive?"

"Your Highness, it will be tonight at midnight." The maid lowered her head and said, "Everything has been arranged."

"Very well, I want to see what that bitch is capable of!" The cloaked man sneered, turned around and disappeared into the night.

It turned out that this mysterious person was Miss Shen who had just died tragically!

She did not commit suicide, but faked her death to escape and wait for an opportunity to take revenge!
And this palace maid was her spy planted in the palace, specifically to gather information.

Miss Shen naturally hated Qin Yunyun to the core.

If it weren't for this bitch stealing my love, I wouldn't have been forced to this point!

Now that the emperor has returned to the palace, she can actually ascend to the throne of queen. It is such a shame!
"Hmph, bitch, you never dreamed that I'd still be alive, right?" Miss Shen sneered and stroked the dagger, "Tonight, I'm going to make you pay with your life!"

As she spoke, she walked away quickly and soon disappeared.

On the other side, the lights in Jingyang Palace were bright.

Chu Zezheng and the new queen were drinking and chatting happily.

Qin Yunyun's face was red, and she took a sip of wine from time to time. She looked very shy, which made Chu Ze happy.

He hugged his beloved wife and said with a soft smile: "Yunyun, now that you and I are happily married, we are so lucky!"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Qin Yunyun glared at him in disapproval. "How could I be so worthy of your favor? I am so lucky!"

The two of them were so affectionate with each other, their eyes exchanging love, and the scene of their love and affection was so loving that it made people envious.

Suddenly, a scream came from outside the window: "Help! There's an assassin!"

Chu Ze and Qin Yunyun were shocked and stood up quickly.

I saw a masked figure in black, holding a sword, climbing in from the window!
The man was filled with murderous intent and rushed straight towards Qin Yunyun!

"Hehe, bitch, you never expected it? I'm still alive!" The man grinned smugly and stabbed Qin Yunyun in the heart with a sword.

"Miss Shen? You... you're not dead?" Qin Yunyun was so frightened that her face turned pale and she stepped back repeatedly, "What are you doing? Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"Spare my life? Humph, you two are so loving, but I will separate you from each other!" Miss Shen screamed and thrust out with her sword, as fast as lightning!
In a hurry, Chu Ze rushed forward and protected Qin Yunyun with his body, blocking the fatal blow for her!
"Your Majesty!" Qin Yunyun screamed. Seeing the long sword piercing into Chu Ze's chest and blood spurting out, she was immediately frightened out of her wits.

"Hahaha, the emperor is such an idiot. He actually died for a bitch like you!" Miss Shen laughed wildly towards the sky with a crazy look on her face.

She raised her sword and pointed it at Qin Yunyun: "Now it's your turn, bitch! Let me teach you a lesson about the pain of losing your husband!"

After saying this, she pressed forward step by step, the emperor's blood still dripping from her sword, which was extremely horrifying.

Qin Yunyun was so frightened that she trembled and shook her head repeatedly, begging: "Miss Shen, please forgive me."

"Let you go? Dream on!" Miss Shen sneered and was about to take action.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the bedroom.

Along with the guards' shouts, countless armored imperial guards poured in from all directions!
The leader, with extraordinary bearing and handsome face, was Yu Daying!
"Shen, you dared to assassinate the emperor and plot a rebellion! Come, arrest him!"

Shen was shocked when she heard this and quickly turned around and ran away.

But how could he escape? In a flash, he was surrounded by countless forbidden troops and could not move. (End of this chapter)
