The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 32 Fighting for the wind and being jealous 3
"Tell me, what's going on?"

The emperor sat high on the table, tapping his fingers on the table, his face as dark as ink, and his whole body exuded a sharp cold air.

Zhe Sang stood below, head lowered.Behind her, a group of concubines were kneeling, and even a large number of palace people were kneeling in the courtyard outside.

"After good morning today, I felt that I was not feeling well, so I asked them all to disperse and go back. Everything was fine at first. Suddenly, several palace maids came and said that there was a fight outside. I was worried that something would happen, so I didn't dare If you are delayed, hurry over.”

"In the past tense, the situation was out of control."

She looked innocent, thought for a moment, and added, "My concubines tried to dissuade me, but they didn't listen at all, and the palace officials didn't dare to come forward."

As she said that, she looked ashamed again and said with self-blame, "I am incompetent and can't stop it, so I have to ask the Holy One. The Holy One has a hard time managing everything, but I failed to take care of the harem and interfered with the Sacred Heart. I am the concubine." 's fault."

"I, my concubine, will be punished by your Majesty." He said with a plop, knelt down on the ground and lay down.

Seeing her like this, the emperor couldn't say anything if he was dissatisfied. He just pointed at Concubine Shu behind her.

"Concubine Shu, tell me."

They had just rinsed off, and Concubine Shu's hair was still wet. She was kneeling on the ground with her head buried in it, not daring to raise her head to look at the emperor above.

The hair fell from the shoulders and fell on the arms. It seemed that there was still a faint smell, even though a lot of petal sesame oil was put in when washing.

"Concubine..."

Now that reason has returned, Concubine Shu is filled with anger, but she doesn't know how to talk about it. She is also ashamed to mention what happened just now, and she just wants to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

"I didn't do anything," she said dryly. After a pause, she found her voice and continued.

"After saying goodbye, I wanted to go back to Ziyun Palace. Unexpectedly, the sedan chair collided with the dung truck at the corner. The dung truck overturned. Mrs. An was unlucky and was splashed all over."

"Maybe I saw it, and she felt too embarrassed, so she threw it at me in a frenzied manner."

"I... I was forced to take action..."

When Concubine Shu recalled what had just happened, her scalp still felt numb and she couldn't help but retching.

The emperor frowned and said, "What about you, Mrs. An? Do you have anything to say?"

Mrs. An knelt on the ground, huddled into a small ball, raised her head and looked like she was crying, with tears in her eyes.

As soon as the emperor saw her face, he remembered the scene where she rushed towards her. He couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart and looked away.

"Your Majesty~" Her voice was full of tears, as if she had been wronged.

"It was Concubine Shu. She wanted to make me look embarrassed in public, so she bumped into me on purpose. I was just angry for a moment."

Seeing that the emperor was not moved at all, she lowered her head and whispered, "Concubine, I won't do it anymore."

Beautiful eyes shed tears, pear blossoms bring rain.

In the past, the emperor had been extremely distressed and wanted to hold her in his arms to comfort her, but the way she rushed towards her today seemed to be engraved in his mind, making him feel a trace of disgust towards this face.

Concubine Shu was listening next to her, and she suddenly became furious. She actually had the nerve to slap her down?He retorted sternly, "How shameless! When did I bump into someone on purpose? I'm not like some people -"

"That's enough! Haven't you had enough trouble? Do you want to do it again in front of me? It's embarrassing!"

The emperor scolded and asked in a cold voice, "Where is the Ministry of Internal Affairs? What's going on with the dung truck?"

A thin middle-aged eunuch was kneeling on the ground and shaking his hands and feet. He was in big trouble. "Back to the Holy Spirit, today... the little eunuch who pulled the dung truck... got up late... and feared that he would lose time and took the road to Yong'an Palace. Somehow he bumped into the sedan chair of the ladies."

Such a ridiculous thing has been unheard of for thousands of years, and something completely impossible happened. It was a coincidence and a trick of God.

The palace's dung cart had to be pulled out of the palace every morning. Today, the little eunuch who pulled the dung cart overslept. He was afraid of being punished for being late, so he thought of taking a shortcut. If he walked faster, it would only last a while. It's possible that no one will find out.

But he didn't want to turn the corner in a hurry and bump into Concubine Shu's sedan chair.

Speaking of which, Concubine Shu and Mrs. An were also in a hurry, and they were in a hurry, which led to this joke.

Why are Concubine Shu and Mrs. An's sedan carriage in such a hurry?There is no end to the fight in Yong'an Palace, and it will inevitably continue after leaving the palace. Neither of them wants to let the other get past them.

In terms of position, Concubine Shu should be ranked first, but Mrs. An didn't know what was right and wanted to get ahead of her. Concubine Shu would not tolerate it, and Mrs. An choked her back after she said a few words.

So they each ordered the palace attendants to speed up and pass each other, as if whoever passed the other would step on the other's face and win the round.

Both of them are pampered daughters and have always been in the limelight. How have they ever been robbed of the limelight?No one wants to lose to the other.

"Are the rules in the palace so lax? Is this how the queen takes care of the harem?" The emperor felt his temples twitching and couldn't help but angrily rebuke.

When Zhe Sang heard this, he lowered his head and immediately admitted his mistake, "I am a concubine who is incompetent and cannot discipline her well."

The emperor endured it, closed his eyes for a while, and was silent for a while before speaking.

"Both of you, each will have your salary suspended for half a year, and be grounded for three months. You can reflect on what you did today."

This kind of punishment is actually neither painful nor itchy. Even if Concubine Shu's Ziyun Palace stops her salary, she can still live comfortably. Don't forget her, but she comes from the Hou family, so there is no shortage of money.

As for Mrs. An, she lives in the Emperor's Yangxin Pavilion. She can't cut off her salary from the Yangxin Pavilion and let the Emperor suffer with her.

Although Zhe Sang really wanted to do this.

It's said that each of them is hit with [-], how can there be no partiality?

Concubine Shu obviously noticed it too. Her face turned pale and she looked at the emperor in disbelief.

Probably he didn't expect that the emperor would be so partial to Mrs. An.

Zhe Sang smiled, how could Concubine Shu be the one being favored?If it were him and Su Qiong'an today, I'm afraid the emperor would have said that he was unbearable and would be thrown into the cold palace.

After all, there was a marquis mansion behind Concubine Shu, so the emperor would be more wary after all.

That's fine, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. If there are only two tigers in the mountain, how can we fight?

However, the eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not as lucky as them. The emperor only said, "They were all dealt with."

They didn't even dare to scream, so they were dragged down by the guards. From now on, they will never oversleep or bump into the nobles again, because their lives will end here.

This is the difference between being born humble and noble.

Probably because that scene was too exciting, for the next half month, the emperor neither went to Ziyun Palace nor Yong'an Palace, but went to Zhu Guiji instead.

The harem is so big that there is always a place for the emperor to go, and he always has many, many choices.
