Return after the phoenix falls

Chapter 43
"Report to the emperor, the empress, concubine Wan Gui, and concubine Lan are here, and are waiting for the emperor in the hall."

"Hmph, they came early." Emperor Jin twirled the sweet-scented osmanthus, and it instantly shattered into grains of sand: "I want to see how sisterly they are."

Eunuch Chen bowed his head and remained silent. It's not that he doesn't know about Emperor Jin's disposition, it's just that the emperor's affairs don't allow others to talk too much. They slaves just listen and don't need to remember.

When I came to the hall, it was really fragrant, not only the empress, the concubine Wan Gui, but also Su Xiuyi, Tian Jieyu, etc. The hall was very lively, but now that Emperor Jin is worrying, how could he have any thoughts? Dealing with these women?

Entering the hall, Emperor Jin didn't give them a chance to pay their respects, and said eagerly and impatiently: "If there is nothing wrong with the concubine, go back, Zhaogui is not something you can just look at a few times."

As soon as these words came out, not only the faces of the concubines were unsightly, but even the face of the empress also showed an ugly color, but she is the empress after all, she still has to do the empress's affairs well, hold back the embarrassment in her heart, blessed herself, and said: "Your Majesty knows how many sisters and concubines are in his heart, but the Emperor must not be too hasty, and the dragon's body is the most important thing in everything."

Several concubines were also full of happiness and echoed in unison.

"I understand the empress's intentions. Let's go back today if you have nothing to do. It sounds like Yuxuan is small, and the concubines may not be used to it." The empress and concubines' thoughts are really not enough for the emperor. Regarding what they think, He knew very well that since he was a child, he had been subjected to the idea of ​​one couple for one lifetime, and he really didn't want to set foot in Huang Huangyanyan's harem, but he had no choice but to use this harem as a means to consolidate the previous dynasty.

But now, the harem has become so gloomy, even using such a despicable method as poisoning, which makes Emperor Jin, who has never intervened in the harem, hate it.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is willing to share the worries of the Emperor and arrest the real culprit who murdered sister Zhao." The queen bowed down on the ground, showing the heroic spirit of a man.

Hearing the queen's words, he changed his mind, stopped talking sarcasticly, went to the first seat to sit down, helped the queen up, and said kindly: "It's not that I don't know the feelings of the queen and all the concubines, but you also know that too many things have happened recently. First, there was an assassin who assassinated me, and now there is an unruly person who poisoned Concubine Zhaogui, if the real murderer is not found out today, I will not be at ease!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my concubine will definitely investigate thoroughly, and the villain who murdered Sister Zhao will never be allowed to go unpunished!" The queen's eyes were clear, and she stared straight at the emperor with a firm look in her eyes.

Emperor Jin sneered in his heart, and said: "Since the queen is so caring, I am not worried, but, this poisoner is extraordinary, so I decided to search the palace!"

"The emperor—" the queen exclaimed: "The concubine understands that the emperor is worried about sister Zhao, but the palace search involves too much, does the emperor..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, what the Empress Dowager said is right. If you search the palace rashly, it may arouse the speculation of the palace people, and people will be uneasy." Concubine Wan Gui, who has never been at odds with the empress, also opened her mouth. It was the Spring Festival yesterday.

"My mind has been decided! Eunuch Chen, pass on the decree and order the imperial guards to search the palace!" The words of the Queen and Concubine Wan Gui did not impress Emperor Jin, and his decisions would not be swayed by such jealous women!
Eunuch Chen received the order and went immediately.

The emperor's decree to search the palace is different from the queen's decree to search the palace. The queen's decree to search the palace is at most just sending a few court ladies and eunuchs to search the palace. It's not that simple. The imperial guards directly obey the emperor's orders. They don't care who is favored in the harem. No matter which palace it is, after a search, although they will not deliberately destroy things with rough hands, the masters will Daily life will definitely be affected!Moreover, it is illegal for a man to enter the concubine's palace.
