Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

The next morning, morning light shone into the palace through the window lattices.

The atmosphere in Fengqi Palace was still quiet. Chu Ze sat in front of the couch, slowly adjusting his dragon robe.

Concubine Wan stood beside him and tied the jade belt for him personally, her movements gentle and delicate.

"Your Majesty, did you sleep well last night?"

Concubine Wan asked gently, with a hint of concern in her voice.

Chu Ze smiled slightly and nodded gently: "With you by my side, I will naturally sleep as well as before."

After hearing this, Concubine Wan felt warm in her heart.

She knew that although the warmth of last night was short, it was enough for Chu Ze to temporarily put aside his complicated thoughts.

However, just as the two were about to have breakfast together, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

A eunuch hurried into the hall, knelt down nervously and reported: "Your Majesty, this is not good."

"The Empress and the Imperial Concubine had a conflict in the Weiyang Palace, and now it has become a mess."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze frowned slightly and his face suddenly darkened.

"Why did the Queen and the Imperial Concubine suddenly come into conflict?"

"They usually get along peacefully. What happened?"

The eunuch quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it was because the Empress and the Imperial Concubine met by chance in the Imperial Garden."

"The Queen wanted to exchange a few pleasantries with the Imperial Concubine, but for some reason, her words suddenly became heated. The two of them disagreed and a conflict broke out on the spot."

"At present, many concubines, maids and eunuchs have gathered in Weiyang Palace, and the situation is becoming increasingly tense."

"Your Majesty, please go and mediate as soon as possible!"

Chu Ze's eyes turned cold, and a feeling of displeasure suddenly rose in his heart.

"I have repeatedly warned the harem not to cause trouble."

"The Queen has always been dignified and serious, why would she suddenly argue with the Imperial Concubine?"

"What does she want to do?"

Seeing this, Concubine Wan gently pulled Chu Ze's sleeve and said softly, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"The dispute between the concubines in the harem is just a small matter. Why get angry?"

"Her Majesty is the head of the six palaces. She is usually dignified and solemn. She will not stir up trouble for no reason."

"Perhaps the Imperial Concubine said something inappropriate and angered the Queen, which led to this conflict."

Chu Ze snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"I have always known that the imperial concubine is a rebellious person."

"But if the queen doesn't even have this kind of heart, how can she manage the six palaces?"

"Let's go. I want to see how serious the quarrel between these two people is."

After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the hall.

Concubine Wan hurriedly followed and whispered, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry."

"I will go with you, perhaps I can persuade the Queen and the Imperial Concubine to reconcile."

Chu Ze nodded and took Concubine Wan to Weiyang Palace.

As soon as I walked outside the Weiyang Palace, I heard bursts of quarrels coming from inside the palace.

"Empress, you are the head of the six palaces, but you are so aggressive."

"Could it be that you saw that I had fallen out of favor and wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate me?"

A charming voice tinged with anger came from the Weiyang Palace.

It was the voice of Imperial Concubine Xia Qing.

And then, another calm but angry voice sounded.

"My dear sister, you are too kind."

"As the head of the six palaces, I should maintain harmony in the harem."

"But you usually act recklessly and disrespectfully in the harem. I have been lenient with you many times and have never argued with you."

"But you dared to speak rudely to me today. Do you really think I dare not discipline you?"

The person who spoke was Queen Ye Wanjun.

When Chu Ze heard the two arguing, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

He strode into the hall and saw many concubines, palace maids and eunuchs gathered in the hall.

The queen and the imperial concubine were standing opposite each other, both with angry looks on their faces.

Seeing Chu Ze walk into the hall, everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

"See Your Majesty!"

Chu Ze coldly scanned the people in the palace, his eyes fell on the queen and the concubine, and his tone was cold: "What are you doing?"

"I have warned the harem several times not to cause trouble out of nothing."

"Empress, Imperial Concubine, why are you causing such a commotion in Weiyang Palace?"

"What on earth happened?"

When the queen saw Chu Ze coming, her face changed slightly and she quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I have no choice."

"Sister Imperial Concubine acted frivolously in the Imperial Garden and deliberately spoke rudely in front of so many concubines."

"As the head of the six palaces, I should maintain order in the harem."

"If I don't stop it today, I'm afraid there will be no rules in the harem in the future."

Hearing this, Xia Qing sneered and looked up at Chu Ze, with grievance and anger in her eyes. "Your Majesty, I was just joking with my sisters."

"The Queen suddenly stepped forward and accused me, using sharp words, without giving me the slightest bit of face."

"Tell me, as a concubine, how can I tolerate being treated like this?"

Chu Ze's eyes swept between the two of them, and a feeling of annoyance rose in his heart.

"enough!"

He spoke coldly, his voice full of authority.

"Queen, Imperial Concubine, I don't care what grudges there are between you."

"That ends today's matter."

"Queen, as the head of the six palaces, you should be tolerant and generous."

"As a concubine in the harem, you should also abide by the rules."

"If you two continue to argue over these trivial matters, I will never let you off easily!"

Upon hearing this, the Queen bowed her head and saluted: "Your Majesty is right."

"I understand."

Although Xia Qing was dissatisfied, she did not dare to say anything and could only bow her head and say, "I know I was wrong."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Chu Ze looked at them coldly and sighed inwardly.

The concubines in the harem were fighting openly and secretly, each with their own thoughts, which had always been a headache for him.

But no matter how strictly he disciplined them, they would still cause trouble from time to time.

He waved his hand gently: "Everyone, leave."

"I don't want to hear any more gossip about what happened today."

The Queen and the Imperial Concubine nodded quickly and then retreated with the maids around them.

The concubines in the palace also bowed and left, and the Weiyang Palace returned to silence for a moment.

Chu Ze stood in the hall, his eyes full of deep thought.

He vaguely felt that the dispute between the Queen and the Imperial Concubine was no accident.

There may be deeper reasons behind this.

Concubine Wan walked up to him and gently advised, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry."

"In the harem, it is inevitable that the concubines will have some small disputes."

"The Empress is thoughtful, and the Imperial Concubine is unruly."

"Although the two of them seem to be getting along peacefully on the surface, they may not be free of grudges in their hearts."

"If Your Majesty spends more time on the harem, perhaps you can discover more hidden secrets."

Chu Ze looked at Concubine Wan and nodded slightly.

"You're right."

"I have been busy with state affairs these days and have neglected the situation in the harem."

"It seems that it is necessary to give them a good beating."

"Otherwise, if the harem is not at peace, how can I concentrate on handling state affairs?"

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "You are the person I trust the most."

"Next, I want you to pay more attention to the movements in the harem."

"Any disturbance must be reported to me immediately."

Concubine Wan nodded slightly, with determination in her eyes.

"I, your concubine,
white. "

"I will do my best to help your majesty."

Chu Ze looked at her gentle eyes, and the irritability in his heart gradually dissipated.

He reached out and gently stroked Concubine Wan's cheek, his tone full of tenderness.

"With you here, I can rest assured."

"No matter how turbulent the harem is, as long as you are here, I can keep a clear mind."

"Don't worry, I will never let anyone hurt you."

Concubine Wan snuggled gently in Chu Ze's arms, her eyes full of tenderness.

"I know that your majesty has been kind to me, and I will always remember it in my heart."

"As long as I can accompany Your Majesty, I am willing to do anything."

Her voice was gentle yet firm, completely calming Chu Ze's irritability.

He hugged her gently and whispered, "This will all be over soon."

"I want to restore peace to the harem."

"Let all disputes disappear."

The two figures looked particularly warm under the lights in the hall.

At this moment, all the disturbances seemed to be isolated outside this small world.

A hint of determination flashed in Chu Ze's eyes.

No matter the turmoil in the court or the undercurrents in the harem, he would solve them one by one.

Because he is the only ruler of this world. (End of this chapter)
