Peerless Headmaster

Chapter 1026

In the early morning of the rising sun, when it was still daylight, the official on duty in the palace rang the golden bell for the first time.

Loud and thunderous bells rang throughout the entire imperial capital, announcing the beginning of a new day in this ancient imperial capital.

The people began to work at sunrise, busy with food and clothing for the whole family.

And the courtiers are hurrying to prepare to go on a pilgrimage to see the Red Dust Empress.

The early court is something that cannot be neglected every day. Whether it is for the emperor or the courtiers, the early court is of great significance.

Those courtiers who are qualified to go to court, if they go to court late, they will be reprimanded at least, or demoted and seized their positions at worst.

No matter how far away the mansion is, once the golden bell rings, one must rush to the palace within half an hour to prepare for court.

So those courtiers who lived in remote areas were in a miserable situation. Every morning before dawn and the golden bell rang, they were already ready to leave.

After all, it is strictly forbidden to fly in the imperial capital, and the imperial capital is so big, it is impossible to catch up in half an hour if you live too far away.

It was the same today, the courtiers rushed from all directions from the imperial capital to the imperial palace, which was a normal thing for them.

Outside the gate of the palace, some courtiers chatted in low voices, while others stood upright without saying a word.

Taking advantage of the time when the palace gate was not open, the courtiers arranged their appearance one after another, so as not to lose their manners after entering the palace.

When the time came, the courtiers were almost here, and the imperial guards who guarded the palace gate opened the palace gate, and the courtiers stepped into the palace one by one according to their official positions and civil and military distinctions.

Go straight all the way, pass through three palace gates, and then come to the outside of the conference hall.

However, the courtiers could not directly enter the meeting hall, they had to wait for the empress of mortals to sit on the dragon chair, and then the courtiers could enter the meeting hall to meet the empress after the female officials of the hall shouted for all the officials to see her.

If you go in now, it is tantamount to offending the holy car and despising the imperial power, which is a serious crime of beheading.

When they got here, the courtiers could not whisper casually, after all, the Empress Hongchen would come at any time, it would be bad if His Majesty Hongchen heard their private conversation.

But today it seems that the waiting time is longer than in the past.

The courtiers were a little puzzled. In the past, they usually only had to wait for less than one cup of tea outside the conference hall, and there would be the sound of hundreds of officials meeting inside. Today, they have waited for three cups of tea. Why? There is still no movement in the hall?

Continue to wait, and after another three cups of tea, the courtiers were still unable to enter the meeting hall.

Now the courtiers were a little restless.

"It's almost half an hour, why don't you let me wait in?"

"In the past, the court meeting was halfway through, what's going on today?"

"Could something have happened?"

"Don't talk nonsense before the hall!"

"Perhaps your majesty has something to delay, we don't need to think too much, just continue to wait."

"When will this wait? There are still a lot of things to deal with in my mansion."

"You think you're the only one busy? My second room is going to give birth today, did I say anything?"

"The little white dog raised in my house is about to give birth today, and I have to go back to see how many will be born."

"Ahem, please don't say a few words, it's not good to be heard."

The courtiers continued to wait patiently, even if they were impatient, they could only whine softly in their mouths.

And in the depths of the palace, outside the bedchamber of the Red Dust Empress, Qing'er stood outside for the whole night, and she was very anxious at this moment.

Because the Empress Hongchen didn't seem to have any plans to go to court until now, and she was still in the bedroom with that damned Ning Heng for some reason.

The door of the sleeping hall is broken, but the Hongchen Empress has already set up a magic circle, and you can't see anything inside, and you can't hear any sounds inside, that's why Qing'er is so anxious.

Seeing that the sun was going up three poles, and the time for the court meeting had already passed, Qing'er felt that he could not wait any longer.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." Qing'er said towards the bedroom.

no respond.

Qing'er frowned, and shouted again: "Your Majesty, it's time to go up to court."

Still no response.

Qing'er thought, what's going on?Could it be that His Majesty is no longer in the bedroom?
Just when Qing'er was thinking wildly, the lazy voice of the Empress of the Red Dust finally sounded in the bedroom: "I will not go to court today."

Qing'er froze in place when she heard it.

"Ah? Not going to court today?" Qing'er was a little confused.

You must know that during the years of Empress Hongchen's reign, except for a few special events, she has hardly missed any court meeting, and she has never even been late throughout the year, so she didn't go to court today?
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are still waiting, why don't you go to court today?" Qing'er wondered.

"As I said, I won't go to court today, let the courtiers separate." The voice of the Empress Hongchen sounded again.

Qing'er was helpless, and didn't try to persuade her anymore, she took out the messenger jade slip and informed the imperial guards at the main hall, asking them to tell the courtiers that Her Majesty the Empress was not going to court today.

The reaction of the courtiers after hearing the news was similar to that of Qing'er, they all froze in place.

Her Majesty the Empress did not go to court?
This is really unexpected. Her Majesty, who was so diligent in the past, would still take the initiative not to go to court?
"What's the matter, Your Majesty? Why don't you go to court today?"

"Could it be that you are unwell?"

"We've been guessed too. Since we're going to stop the court today, let's go back."

"let's go."

A group of courtiers dispersed in confusion, and today's morning court was cancelled.

Soon, the news that the Hongchen Empress was dismissed from the court today spread throughout the entire imperial capital.

The so-called good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles is such a truth.

The empress' dismissal from court is a matter worth discussing for people all over the world. After all, the empress's diligence is well known to the world, and such a thing as dismissing from imperial court is not something that a mortal empress can do at all.

But it just happened today.

For a while, there were a lot of guessing voices in the imperial capital. Some people said that the empress of the world had experienced many changes and began to slack off the government.

Some people think that the Empress Hongchen must have encountered something she couldn't get out of today, or she was at a critical juncture in her cultivation.

Some people speculated even more boldly, saying that drastic changes were about to take place in the imperial capital, and that the resignation of the empress was just a sign.

But no one can know the truth.

In the empress' bedroom, on the slightly messy dragon couch, two bodies were entangled together.

Ning Heng was naked, and Lian Hongchen had no clothes on. The two embraced and lay down, and the breath of each other's breath intertwined.

"Today, I didn't go to court because of you." Lian Hongchen looked at the person beside the pillow and said softly.
