Star Sea Hunter

Walking along the long corridor, the walls, floor tiles, pillars, and surrounding sculptures are all made of iron-gray stone, which looks thick and cold, giving people a sense of lifelessness.

Although the imperial concubine has gone through two dynasties, she has heard of this place more than once, which makes the concubines in the harem change their faces, but it is the first time to set foot here in person!

The flowers and plants in the courtyard are a bit messy due to poor maintenance. The two square-column-shaped gardening robots seem to be lacking in energy. They lean against the carved railing listlessly and don't move for a long time.The steps are covered with withered and yellow fallen leaves, and the floor tiles are relatively flat, with weeds sticking out of the gaps.

The surrounding area is quiet, and occasionally a few biochemical maids with old clothes and blank expressions pass by from a distance, like walking corpses!There are many cobwebs on the window lattices and between the door beams. Nuo Da's palace complex looks lifeless. After walking in it for a long time, even the mood will become extremely depressed!

She sighed secretly in her heart, and she didn't know how many dreams and hopes of the beauties of the harem had been buried in this place since it was built, and all the great youthful years were wasted!Some people went crazy, some committed suicide, and some lived alone all their lives. Of course, there are very few lucky ones who, due to various reasons, were able to see the light of day and get the chance to leave, but such examples are too few!

In the era of the Shuofeng Empire, she had witnessed many familiar sisters being sent to this tomb of the living dead by the queen's order, waiting to die helplessly!Most of them are innocent, just because they don't like that woman and they don't have a strong enough family to back them up, so they have to accept such a miserable fate.But the emperor at that time pretended to be deaf and dumb about this, and didn't care about it, and let that vicious woman torment him!

Only the current His Majesty has done a good deed, releasing all those women back home, and then ordered the palace to be closed.

It was just that after being silent for several years, it had to be activated again, and the first prisoner ushered in was the queen who was the lord of the palace!

After seven bends and eight turns, after walking a long distance, I finally arrived at the place.

It can be seen that this palace is relatively tidy, and it has obviously been cleaned up to a certain extent recently, making it not look dilapidated and messy like other places that are still sealed.

A team of female guards stood guard at the door. After the major general went over to show his ID, the captain ordered the door to be opened and let Feng Lanxi walk in.

The furnishings in the hall are extremely simple, not at all like a queen's residence.

She looked around for a while, and in one corner of the main hall, there was a small Buddhist altar enshrined. The Buddha lamp was bright, and the green smoke from the incense burner was curling up, changing complex and changeable shapes in the air.Xiao Muhan, who was dressed in an ordinary blue dress, sat blankly in front of the incense burner, staring at the peaceful Buddha statue in a daze.

Hearing the slight footsteps deliberately slowing down from behind, she slowly turned her head, and saw the graceful imperial concubine in white clothes standing not far away, staring at her calmly.

She didn't make a sound, and the other party didn't intend to speak. The two most prominent women in the Xinghui Empire's court just looked at each other silently, speechless for a long time.

"Are you here?" After a long silence, Xiao Muhan's hoarse voice finally sounded in the hall.

Feng Lanxi nodded lightly: "Yes, I'll come and see you!"

After a pause, she added: "This is also what His Majesty meant, and...they!"

The corners of Xiao Muhan's mouth turned up, and a faint smile appeared: "Okay! I have seen it now, so what should I do next? What is His Majesty's will? Take it out and announce it!"

"I said before that I just came to see you and talk to you by the way. As for what His Majesty means, I don't know now!" Feng Lanxi said softly.

Xiao Muhan was obviously a little surprised: "Could it be that he still hasn't made up his mind? I thought you would bring the poisonous wine and white silk this time! Of course, according to the usual practice, the head of the inner court and the commander of the same palace guard should come over and read As for the decree, the House of Nobles will send staff to supervise the implementation, so you shouldn’t be doing it!”

"You know this procedure very well!" Feng Lanxi smiled, sat down gracefully beside her, and continued:

"You can rest assured, at least until something happens, you will never be able to wait for that scene!"

"What things?" Xiao Muhan asked with a smile.

The imperial concubine took out a stack of documents from the space bracelet and handed it to her.

Xiao Muhan took it and flipped through a few pages, his face flushed suddenly!The awe-inspiring killing intent spread out bit by bit, locking every vital point in her body!

However, this great wise man didn't appear to be in the slightest panic, he just sat quietly and didn't take her reaction seriously at all.

"Even if I'm damned, it's fine if you ask His Majesty to give me a glass of poisoned wine directly! Why do you make such a thing to tarnish my innocence?" She gritted her teeth.

It was a detailed investigation report on Empress Xiao's past experience, including her debauched private life, having affairs with many men when she was underage, and being a frequent visitor to the masquerade ball in the palace of the Gnasrock Empire, and having sex with many royal families. The ambiguous deeds of the members, and even various details are recorded in detail!

In other words, Yun Haoyu, the founding hero of the Starlight Empire, was just one of her many men at that time!

"This is not my original intention, nor anyone's intention, but the common will of all the sisters in the harem!" Feng Lanxi said calmly, "Don't find it difficult to understand, just because of what you did some time ago, Offended all the sisters! That's why they felt the need to help His Majesty make this difficult decision and execute you!"

Xiao Muhan's face was as pale as paper, and he said in a low voice: "Could it be that Your Majesty believes in such a non-existent thing? With his brain, it is impossible to easily believe in a forged material, right?"

Feng Lanxi smiled: "Yes, this material is indeed fake, and the above things are all fabricated out of thin air! The problem is, all the women in the harem believe it. If I also believe it and are willing to sign and approve it, then the fake What you said will become true! Your Majesty will naturally believe it!"

Xiao Muhan's tender body trembled slightly: "You guys...why did you do such a terrible thing? Even if I was wrong, even if I deserved to die, my thoughts towards His Majesty are still the same! Why did you frame me like this?"

"You have to ask yourself!" Feng Lanxi sighed, "When His Majesty was trapped and Empress Fang was taken away, you had the highest status in the entire imperial capital. At this critical moment, you not only did not want to save His Majesty, but instead Indulging your own people to do the evil things that many people and gods hate! Do you think they shouldn't hate you?"

"But that wasn't my original intention. They did many things without telling me!" Xiao Muhan hurriedly argued.

Feng Lanxi said calmly: "I haven't done some things, but it doesn't mean I have no responsibility! Your clansman is so domineering and lawless, is it because of your status? You know that this is wrong, and you know that it will make you feel guilty. What kind of damage did the empire cause, why didn't it take decisive measures to stop it?"

"You are the legitimate queen of the empire. From the beginning to the end, your power has not been suppressed. As long as you are willing, no matter how powerful your clansmen are, they are absolutely powerless to resist! Why don't you do it?"

"This..." Xiao Muhan wanted to explain, but suddenly found that he couldn't say anything.

The wise man seemed to have understood her thoughts, and said gently: "Of course you know what's going on, but the reason is a bit unreasonable, so let me explain it for you!"

"Princess Yun Qixuan was born to you and is the legal first heir of the empire. If your majesty falls, then it is only natural for her to take over the throne! At that time, you were already thinking about how to let your daughter inherit the empire. , for this you have to rely on the strength of your own family, so you will tolerate their behavior!"

"But you didn't expect that the many sisters in the harem and the civil and military officials around your majesty did not give up their efforts, and the god of fate still favored your majesty. When your family gathered a fleet and joined Randall to attack the imperial palace, Have you ever thought about your own failure?"

Xiao Muhan gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "If His Majesty really falls, is my behavior considered a betrayal? Letting Yun Qixuan take over the throne is better than letting rebels like Randall take away the foundation of the empire." Much better?"

"Once the princess can't compete for that position, then no matter who the new emperor is, the princess, me, and my family will not be able to survive! And the situation was so critical at that time, Randall, Zhong Mingrui, and some inexplicable forces If I don't plan ahead and make some preparations first, I can only watch the other party take the lead and cut us off!"

"I just thought twice. After all, no one knew His Majesty's condition at that time. You are the most intelligent woman around His Majesty. Don't you understand the necessity of doing this?"

"That's right, Yun Qixuan is His Majesty's bloodline. If His Majesty really falls, it's only natural for her to take the position! But aren't your own attitudes too hasty? Your Majesty is not dead after all! And your clansmen, look You look eager to seize power! Even if you have a reason to do so, this eating style is too ugly!" Feng Lanxi stared at her coldly and said, "And from the standpoint of His Majesty and us, you The behavior of your family members is absolutely unforgivable! In your heart, Your Majesty is not put first by you, and it is your family who occupies that position!"

She raised her hand slightly, stopped Xiao Muhan who was about to speak up, and continued:

"Don't deny it in a hurry. Before I came here, I have already conducted the most comprehensive analysis and interpretation of your past experience. All the information that can be collected is here! So there are some things that you can't do yourself. Realize, but your choices have exposed your inner thoughts!"

"At Muyunxing, when you first met His Majesty, you didn't have much affection for him at all. It was only after getting along for a long time that you fell in love with him. However, this affection is limited. When the transfer order was issued, you still chose the family, not Your Majesty!"

"Later, you thought that His Majesty was dead, and found out that you were pregnant. Maybe it was because of guilt, or maybe there were other intentions. You still chose to let the child be born and raised her alone for two years! And this matter has always been for Your Majesty. It will be remembered, and it will directly affect his attitude towards you now!"

"But what you did this time really disappointed him! That day in Juntian Palace, His Majesty was indeed murderous. If it wasn't for Yu Xinzhe, and I came forward to intercede for you, you wouldn't have done it at all. There will be a chance to come here!"

Xiao Muhan took a deep look at her: "Then, why are you pleading for me? Does doing so make you more likely to be the queen?"
