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

Chapter 43 Intrigue 6
"Don't cry," Mrs. An said softly, reaching out to wipe her tears, and when she roughly touched her cheek, she visibly shrank, as if she was in pain.

"How pitiful." Mrs. An sympathized.

"The Holy One has always said that the Queen is considerate and considerate, and she is also very gentle and kind to her servants." Mrs. An looked at the Queen, her tone full of disappointment, as if the Emperor was disappointed in the Queen Zhesang.

"Why can't you distinguish between right and wrong today? Why don't you just protect yourself and attack Zhu Guiji?"

"It's not your turn to intervene in how I manage the harem. You believe whatever Zhu Guiji says, which shows that you are a trusting person." The queen looked serious and didn't want to pay much attention to her.

"Xiao Hua, don't take Mrs. An back to rest yet. There's no guarantee that the harem's rampage won't hurt her, so it's better to be cautious."

Xiaohua was eager to return to Yangxin Pavilion immediately. She looked at Mrs. An, her meaning was obvious.

Mrs. An's expression turned bad, she didn't expect the Queen to drive people away like this.

"Yong'an Palace is bigger than Sangyuan, but it still can't accommodate people. I thought that the three-day separation would be a surprise, but it turned out that it was just an embroidered pillow. It looked shiny, but the inside remained unchanged." Mrs. An was really nakedly sarcastic. From the past to the present .

Zhe Sang looked at her coldly, not paying attention to her sarcasm.

"Mrs. An, have you heard that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes."

"Perhaps it would be better to be in pieces than in pieces."

Everyone in the Kyoto harem knew about Mrs. An's despicable behavior of following people's influence and coveting glory.No matter how favored the emperor was, he could not hide the ugliness.

This is the most shameful behavior.Not only did Mrs. An do it, she did it twice.

Mrs. An looked slightly stunned when she heard this. In order to wait for her to refute, the emperor who had just left the morning court came.

"what happened?"

As soon as the emperor went to court in the morning, someone from Yangxin Pavilion came to deliver a message.

Mrs. An had been standing at first, but when she heard the emperor's voice, her legs became weak and she fell to the ground.

The emperor stepped forward and hugged her into his arms. Even in the panic, his movements were still gentle.

"Why are you so careless? You are not alone now. You are still pregnant with my child. If anything goes wrong, I am the only one to ask." He scolded, but there was a smile on his face, with sharp and cold features. It can also reveal gentle curves.

"Your Majesty, I didn't do it on purpose. It was because my legs suddenly became weak." Mrs. An explained.

Noticing the crowd's gaze, he immediately blushed and pushed, trying to break away from the emperor's arms.

"Don't make trouble, do you really want to fall?" the emperor scolded in a low voice.

"Let go...there are a lot of people watching..." Mrs. An looked awkward and muttered in a low voice, as if she was shy, but the look in her eyes towards the Queen clearly showed pride.

"Leave them alone." The emperor was dissatisfied with her struggle and picked her up directly by his waist and placed her on his seat.

From the moment he entered the palace to now, the emperor never took his eyes away from Mrs. An. He even showed a stingy eye to all the beauties in the palace.

Even the queen Zhe Sang is no exception.

Zhu Guiji touched her swollen and broken face, a cruel light flashed in her eyes.She fell to her knees with a plop, her knees hitting the ground with a muffled sound.

"Your Majesty! Please save me. I will never be like this again." Zhu Guiji screamed.

Mrs. An followed suit and said, "The people around the Queen are not clean-mouthed, and Sister Zhu is also impatient. She was anxious to teach others a lesson for the Queen, which angered the Queen, and she was punished a lot." "The Queen." ! Aren’t you going to give me an explanation?” The emperor’s eyes glanced over coldly.

Zhe Sang stood in front of him, unyielding but not overbearing. This time his attitude was firm and he did not show any signs of giving in.

"Lu Yi has been serving me for two or three years. I know what kind of character I have. Although I am straightforward, I will not do such a thing without any reason."

The emperor said impatiently, "It's just a girl, just drag her out and deal with her."

No one cares about the life or death of a maid in the harem, and few people even want to spend more time understanding what happened.

Luyi's survival depends entirely on the emperor's words.

"No!" Zhe Sang said. "How can the Holy One believe their words? The imperial doctor has already arrived. When Lu Yi wakes up, he will know the true nature of the matter."

Rejected by her, the emperor's face darkened, "As a subordinate, it would be derelict in one's duty to make the masters punished."

"What if the fault is not hers?" Zhe Sang still insisted.

The emperor looked at her, and he didn't like the queen's tough attitude. His eyes became colder and colder, revealing the king's fierceness.

"Come on, drag it out."

"Your Majesty! If Your Majesty wants to deal with someone without asking the whole story clearly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to establish rules in the palace in the future. The palace people work hard, but they will not be able to serve the masters to the best of their ability."

Mrs. An lay weak and boneless in the emperor's arms, "The queen said this just for selfish reasons. When you dealt with Zhu Guiji just now, didn't you tell the whole story?"

She said, then paused, "Why do we need to ask the whole story now before making a decision?"

Seeing this, Zhu Guiji covered her mouth very wisely and started to cry.

Zhe Sang sneered, "Why didn't you figure out the whole story?"

"My concubine punishes Zhu Guiji, so there are natural reasons for the punishment." Zhe Sang looked at the emperor.

"The queen will tell me why, and I won't let my concubine get this beating in vain." Zhu Guiji said aggrievedly.

The emperor was noncommittal and just looked at the queen coldly.

"My concubine punishes Zhu Guiji because she is harsh on her servants. If she doesn't like her at all, she will beat and scold her servants endlessly, or even lynching her." Zhe Sang said.

"I am unjustly accused!" Zhu Guiji said excitedly. She avoided the queen's gaze and looked at the emperor eagerly. She said, pulling a palace maid behind her, "Your Majesty, you can ask Jing'er. Although I am not as gentle as your empress, But he can be considered kind and has a clear conscience."

Jing'er fell to her knees on the ground and kowtowed. It was probably because the masters gathered all their eyes on her. She was a little timid and her voice trembled, but she still said loudly, "Your Majesty treats me so generously, I don't dare to lie! "

Zhe Sang watched them cooperate with each other coldly. Mrs. An was still nestling in the emperor's arms. Zhu Guiji didn't have any respect in her eyes. The remaining concubines were all shrinking to protect themselves, and at the same time, their eyes were shining with the excitement of watching the fun. excited.

This is the real situation in the harem.

As a queen, she doesn't even have the ability to punish a concubine or protect a maid.What’s the use of devoting all your efforts to support your husband’s rise to power?What's the use of taking such pains to manage the affairs of the harem?
If she is not careful, she will still fall into the abyss and be broken into pieces.

The emperor was still warm and affectionate last night, and today he will send troops to investigate.His friendships are all fake, so he can be relaxed and relaxed without any violation.

"Why are Zhu Guiji anxious? I haven't finished speaking yet."
