Devil's Concubine

Chapter 195 The Shocking Deception (2)
It's just that Chu Yunshang didn't have the heart to care about these things at this time. She casually carried the lazy cat on the bedside, got up, and walked out of the cave.

As soon as he walked to the edge of the stone gate, he heard footsteps coming from outside.

It seems that the news about her murder in Prince Ning's Mansion last night has already spread, which alarmed the Empress Chen in the palace. Empress Chen sent more people to search, intending to eradicate it!
Empress Chen?
Empress?

Chu Yunshang whispered a few words in his heart, his voice was inaudible: "Empress Chen, Mo Ranchen's concubine mother, did you kill it? If so, you really, damn it!"

After saying a word, Chu Yunshang saw a ray of light through the closed stone door. This light was dazzling, and it was different from the soft halo emitted by Ye Mingzhu.

"So it's dawn!"

Its daybreak.

The sun pierced through the thick clouds, and finally sprinkled the light on the world, sprinkled all over Mingyue City, and a new day officially began.

Inside the palace, the early court discussed matters.

Civil and military officials, all of them lowered their faces, lowered their heads slightly, and looked at their own toes.

In front of the dragon chair, bead curtains hung, and Empress Chen, who was dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, sat upright behind.

Through the bead curtain, one can faintly see Empress Chen's face. It is a face that is unparalleled in beauty and beauty. Perhaps it is because of this face that none of the officials dare to look directly at her.Or maybe, it was what happened in the past few days that made all the officials feel heavy and unable to lift their heads.

Emperor Molong was ill, and Empress Chen was acting behind the curtain to listen to the government. Although this kind of thing had never happened in the past dynasties of the Molong Kingdom, she was in a hurry, and Empress Chen was a very dignified and domineering woman. Therefore, Although all civil and military officials had their own ideas, none of them dared to reveal them.

Moreover, King Mo Xiuzhu died, King Ning was imprisoned, King Xian was ignorant, and King Hong was a simple-minded idiot. The royal family had no one to use at critical moments, so they had to let Empress Chen temporarily act on their behalf. Command the ministers and stabilize the state.

It's just that no one would have thought that Empress Chen was so ambitious that she would be willing to just take over the government temporarily!
What she wants to do is to become a generation of queens who have never been seen before or since!
Behind the bead curtain, Empress Chen glanced over the faces of the officials one by one, satisfied with the performance of the officials, and then slowly said: "General Zhou, tell me, how is the situation at the border?"

General Zhou is called Zhou Yao. He is eight feet long. He has a powerful hole and a fierce face. He is one of the few famous generals in the Molong Kingdom. He has been sitting at the border before. After the turmoil, Zhou Yao stayed in Mingyue City, and Zhou Yao himself was also one of the people Empress Chen valued.

Zhou Yao took two steps forward, and said slowly, "Hui Niangniang, Qi's ambitions are clear, and millions of troops are overwhelming the territory. They are ready to send troops south at any time."

Empress Chen nodded lightly, and then asked: "Since that's the case, has General Zhou made preparations for it?"

Zhou Yao said: "The minister has ordered General Li Yuli and General Pan Jiepan to lead a million kings to the north to guard the border. The two generals are brave and good at fighting, and they know how to use troops. No matter how ambitious Qi Yifeng is, in the short term, I also dare not take the next step.”

"In the short term?" Empress Chen frowned slightly, her voice sank slightly.

Zhou Yao's face changed slightly, and he said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Since Qi Yifeng ascended the throne, Qi has been working hard to govern, actively expand, and strengthen the army. What is waiting is the moment to go south to the Central Plains. Invasion, Qi Yifeng will not miss this rare opportunity. Sooner or later there will be a war at the border. Moreover, the minister has heard that Qi Yifeng personally led the army to the rear of Qi, and there is a steady stream of soldiers and horses continuing to go south. Qi Yifeng, Too ambitious!"

After hearing this, Empress Chen snorted coldly, and said displeasedly: "General Zhou, I have ordered you to actively prepare for the battle without any mistakes. If there is any mistake, please come and see me!"

"Yes!" Zhou Yao accepted the order awe-inspiringly, secretly amazed that Empress Chen, a woman, has such power and power, which is no less than that of Emperor Mo Long!
Empress Chen waved her hand to signal Zhou Yao to retreat, and said to another person: "Prefect Qian, how is the security in Mingyue City?"

Prefect Qian Songhao, the prefect of Mingyue City, is responsible for the livelihood and safety of the people in Mingyue City. This is a thin old man, but his eyes are bright and he is very energetic.

Qian Songhao took a step forward, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Back to your mother, the law and order of Mingyue City is good, the Imperial Palace Imperial Army and Mo Longwei's contribution is indispensable, please rest assured, my mother!"

Empress Chen couldn't tell that Qian Songhao didn't take her as a queen seriously, and wanted to reprimand her, knowing it was not the right time, so she could only keep it in her heart: "What a Qian Songhao, how dare he not take this queen seriously?" The palace puts it in my eyes, and when I ascend the throne as the emperor, I will be the first one, and I will use your sacrificial knife!"

"Prefect Qian is the prefect of the imperial city, and his every action is related to the safety of the people in the city. I also hope that the prefect will abide by his duties and not let the people down, nor let the Palace down." Empress Chen said lightly, there was no lack of beating intentions in her words.

"My minister will definitely not disappoint the people, nor will I disappoint the empress." Qian Songhao took a step back, but it's not clear how sincere, how hypocritical, and what he said.

Empress Chen called another person's name: "Du Shangshu, I don't know how the contact with Qin State is going?"

Du Weihan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is in charge of contacting the Qin State. This time, the border of Molong State is tight, and the war is hanging by a thread. Empress Chen promised Qin Shurong that day, and at the price of sacrificing Zhong Wuhuan in exchange for Qin Shurong's return to the country, in order to win Qin Shurong Support her so that she can secure the throne as soon as possible.

Naturally, no outsiders would know about the private transactions. What Empress Chen said was also a matter of business.

Du Weihan is a white-faced Confucian student. He took a step forward and said respectfully: "Go back to your mother, the envoys sent to Qin have not sent any news to return, and I don't know the details. However, there is news from Qin. Before that, Qin Shurong was newly established as the crown prince, and Qin Shurong was given millions of troops to suppress Chu State."
