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

Chapter 5
The concubines were sitting together. Liu Zhaoyi, who had just moved to Qinghe Palace, looked haggard, as if he had not slept all night.

Liu Zhaoyi shook her body and said, "Please give me a different palace!"

Everyone looked at each other and looked at her in confusion. Liu Zhaoyi lowered her voice and said in fear, "Qinghe Palace is haunted!"

Concubine Shu, who had always been aloof and aloof, sneered when she heard this, "What a bunch of nonsense. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. What kind of ghost dares to come up to you if you don't care about your life."

Zhu Guiji hesitated and said, "I guess Liu Zhaoyi has just moved out and is still not used to living there. It will be fine in a few days."

Seeing that none of them believed it, Liu Zhaoyi saw that the queen present was also unconvinced and hurriedly defended, "I didn't lie, it's really haunted! The palace in the west corner is empty, and normally it is clean and deserted, but yesterday I slept until midnight I was woken up by the sound of a piano! There was also a woman singing faintly!"

As she said that, she pulled the palace maid behind her and said, "Juan'er also heard it! I really didn't lie!"

Zhe Sang narrowed her eyes. Leng Palace happened to be behind Qinghe Palace. This was a coincidence, and she didn't even need to take action.

"I have been with Liu Zhaoyi for many years. She has always been law-abiding and not a person who talks nonsense." Zhe Sang said, turning to tell Chongqing, "There may be something fishy about this matter. Take someone to search the west corner carefully and take a look. What's going on? It's so noisy that people in the palace are panicking."

Chongqing responded and went out.

"Thank you for your understanding." Liu Zhaoyi felt relieved a little.

"They are all members of our family." Zhe Sang comforted her gently, very reasonable. "Since this has happened, you should sit down with half a cup of tea and listen to what happened later, so that you can feel relieved."

Life in the harem is boring, but everyone is happy to take a look at the lively gossip.

Above the court, a young eunuch suddenly hurried in and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear.

The emperor, who was always cold and solemn, frowned, then waved away the minister who was making remarks.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Eunuch Xu on the side took a deep breath and raised his voice to prepare to shout: "Retreat from the court."

"The minister has played—"

The person standing at the head of the court interrupted Eunuch Xu's spellcasting. Eunuch Xu's breath was stuck in his throat and he almost carried it away.

"Prime Minister, let's talk about it tomorrow." The emperor obviously didn't want to listen to what Gu Heng had to say.

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the foundation of the country and should not be postponed." Gu Heng said firmly.

The emperor stared at him with a bad expression, but he couldn't do anything to him, so he had to suppress his anger and said, "Long story short."

This time Gu Heng was talking about the emperor's heir in a eloquent and eloquent manner, while that time Chongqing had already found the cause of the haunting.

"Your Majesty, there is a woman hiding in the cold palace. The noise Liu Zhaoyi heard came from there." Chongqing reported back. Behind her were two women who were kneeling down and suppressed by eunuchs.

Zhe Sang stared at the people struggling on the ground, which were Su Qiong'an and a maid serving her.

Concubine Shu exclaimed, "Isn't this the former queen? Hasn't she already been executed? How could she appear in the cold palace?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was in an uproar!

The concubines couldn't help but point at Su Qiong'an who was kneeling under the hall. Su Qiong'an seemed to be ashamed of herself, and her head was about to be buried in the cracks of the ground.

After all, the family was overturned and the dynasty was annihilated. She was clearly dead in the eyes of the world, but she appeared in the cold palace again. The twists and turns in this were about to emerge.

Concubine Shu had grown up in Kyoto since she was a child. She had interacted with various famous ladies in Kyoto and knew them all very well, not to mention the former empress in front of her whom she had knelt down to worship.The queen above also had a look of astonishment and couldn't believe it, "Look up!"

The person kneeling on the ground did not move, but shrank, like a plucked chicken, ashamed, embarrassed, and uneasy.Seeing this, Chongqing pulled her hair and forced her to raise her head.

She has an extremely beautiful face, as delicate as a peach blossom, and her tears are sweet and moving. She is none other than Su Qiong'an.

Zhe Sang's almond-shaped eyes widened and he pretended to be embarrassed.

"What conspiracy are you hiding in the palace?"

There are sinners from the previous dynasty hiding in the palace. This matter is not a trivial matter. Zhe Sang said, "Go and call the people from Dali Temple. This matter must be investigated strictly. I am afraid that she has accomplices who will be detrimental to the Holy Master."

After a few words, Zhe Sang judged her to be a remnant of the previous dynasty with ulterior motives.

The palace talent accepted the promise and the Holy Driver was sent.

A flash of bright yellow appeared at the door. After more than half a month, the emperor finally had time to step into Yong'an Palace.If it were before, Zhe Sang would have greeted her with joy, but now Zhe Sang just sat there and looked at each other coldly from afar.

When the emperor approached, she lowered her eyebrows and pretended to be gentle and considerate as usual.

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, how can you have time to come to Yong'an Palace at this time?" Zhe Sang seemed not to notice his dark face and only asked him with a smile.

The emperor's eyes and ears were all over the palace. Chongqing received the news before he arrived at Leng Palace, but he was entangled by Gu Heng. When he escaped, it was still a step too late.

Concubine Cheng En could not help but feel a little shy when she saw Sheng's face last night. She caught a glimpse of the woman on the ground and hurriedly asked for credit, "The Holy One came up just in time. The remnants of the previous dynasty were found in the palace. I'm afraid they have some conspiracy. The Holy One has recently decided Be more careful!”

When the emperor heard this, he glanced over, his anger deep inside, "Get out of here, everyone. If you dare to leak even half of what happened today, I will kill you without mercy!"

The emperor had a serious and silent temperament, but most of the time he kept his emotions and anger hidden. When Zhe Sang fell into the hands of the gangsters, he did not show a trace of panic. This was the first time that Zhe Sang had seen him kill in such a furious and solemn manner.

She sneered in her heart, was it the person he loved so much that he was so angry?

Concubine Shu had never been treated like this before. She felt extremely aggrieved and ran away with tears in her eyes.Others were even scared away.

The huge Yong'an Palace suddenly fell into silence, and you could hear a needle drop.

"Your Majesty," Zhe Sang raised his eyes and looked at him carefully, seeming a little scared.

The emperor's eagle eyes examined her, "Am I too indulgent of you lately?"

Zhe Sang finally saw clearly this time. His eyes were really like looking at a servant, so condescending, so contemptuous and indifferent.

Even though he had followed him for five years and worked for him through life and death, he still regarded himself as an emotionless pawn.

Her butterfly-wing eyelashes trembled, and big tears rolled down. She turned her face away, as if she didn't want him to see her, and said with force, "The words of the Holy One are heart-breaking. I have never been indulged in anything. I have never done anything." They all put the Holy One first.”

"The Holy One said he was busy, so I didn't dare to disturb him. Even though rumors spread in the former harem that I couldn't have children, I could only suppress the secret and take care of the harem cautiously, not daring to cause any trouble to the Holy One." The more he said, , the tears became more and more violent, and I just covered my face and sobbed.

In the five years of marriage, Zhe Sang had cried in front of him only a few times, and she would never cry randomly unless she was sad.

The emperor knows best how obedient and obedient Su Zhesang is.
