Harem: Luo Chen's Resentment

The doors of Supreme Harmony Hall were tightly shut until night when they finally opened. A group of officials came out one after another, bowing to each other as they went home to arrange for the emperor's orders.

"Prime Minister, young master is truly valiant and mighty. He has made a great contribution this time. The Emperor will definitely reward you handsomely …"

"Haha, you're welcome," Li Jin smiled and waved his hand at them, but his heart was filled with anxiety.

Hmph, Master Shangguan looked at this group of flattering people with disdain. He was about to step forward and argue when the lordmaster yanked him hard and dragged him home.

"Father, why do you think the emperor used Wang Xun as a weapon, and even handed over the banquet this time?" The Master Shangguan sat in the carriage and asked angrily. The emperor was a wise man, but he couldn't tell what Li Jin and Wang Xun were thinking? The two of them had embezzled a lot of money and the people under their command were few and far between. The number of people killed was also not small. How could they still think about using their abilities?

Second Master Shangguan, who was quietly drinking his tea at the side, looked at his elder brother helplessly. Wang Xun was the Minister of Rites, so he was naturally responsible for this. Li Jin was already two prime ministers, no matter what kind of character he had, he had many disciples under him. If the Emperor wanted to make a move, he would have to wait until the right time, why is his brother so unlike a member of the Shangguan family?

"Cough cough." The old man coughed twice and snatched the tea from his second son, ignoring his father. Only then did his deep eyes land on the infuriated eldest son. He didn't have any thoughts of explaining as he crossed his arms and closed his eyes.

The Shangguan Mansion was as calm as usual, but from time to time there would be quarrelling sounds coming from the Prime Minister's House's study.

"Why did you help Imperial Concubine to do that kind of thing? Why did you order Song Xiping to frame Luo Ning? This kind of thought is too obvious! " Li Jin heavily threw the letter in his hand onto the ground, and stared at the man who was kneeling down in anger.

Imperial Concubine wrote him a letter. He thought that once the food was burned, Luo Ning and the rest would not come back alive. There was no harm in pushing the evidence to him, who knew that Song Xiping was actually a trash who destroyed everything. He even almost dragged them down with him, but fortunately, his foster father was ruthless and ordered for him to be intercepted.

"Foster father, your son doesn't dare to do so anymore. Besides, you know your imperial concubine's temper, so I don't dare to disobey her orders." Looking at Wang Xun who was crying like a girl, Li Jin's eyes flashed with disgust. However, with so many years of love, Li Jin still helped him up. Speaking of imperial concubines, his daughter was too disappointing. Prince Xian couldn't speak, and the emperor hadn't visited her place in the past few days. Apart from his title of imperial concubine, she probably hadn't been doted on at all. Li Jin's gloomy eyes could not help but look into the distance. Should I find someone to enter the palace?

After a moment, the scheming Li Jin returned to normal, his wrinkled face revealing a sinister smile. He asked in a low voice, "Have you dealt with those people?"

Wang Xun who was questioned, trembled, his heart was filled with cold Qi, his foster father meant that those people should be dealt with. However, those people had worked hard to accompany him and were the most loyal to his foster father. Now, they were going to kill him. Thinking about his ruthless methods, Wang Xun could only be ruthless and agreed to do what he said.

Wang Xun walked to the door and heard the warning words that came out of his mouth. His heart trembled and his foster father guessed what he was thinking.

After Wang Xun left, he sat on the chair by himself and calmly looked at Leng Yue. His withered face revealed a fierce look, which showed that he was determined to win. The emperor was still too young, thinking that by supporting Luo Tan, he would be able to face him. Luo Tan had already been forced to resign, that brat Luo Ning did not look good, and the empress dowager did not seem to be fond of him either. However, after hearing that the Shangguan family and the Luo family were on good terms, there would be people who were more anxious than him. For example, that person in the palace, he had already ordered people to spread the news that she should have received it.

The palace was silent as well. Apart from the empress dowager's Tzu Ning Palace, the empress dowager had received a letter today. After reading it, she was in a bad mood.

"Pa, pa, pa, pa," the empress dowager ordered people to constantly pat the palace maid's cheek. Her eyes were gloomy and indecisive, but the anger on her face seemed to grow more and more intense. Li mama was also watching with trepidation. It had been so many years, but the empress dowager had never lost her composure like this, other than in front of that person.

The palace maid's face had already been slapped to the point where it was hard to see her original appearance. Deep bloodstains could be seen on her face, most likely ruined. The Li mama couldn't help but speak up. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, look …"

"Scram!"

Hearing her release, the palace maids by the side quickly dragged her away. If they had taken another step later, they would have been afraid that the empress dowager would have attacked them. Today, the empress dowager's temper had not been good. Three people had already been dragged out to be caned to death.

"Momo, Wailing Home had actually never known that Luo Chen was actually that person's granddaughter. "She is indeed the same as her grandmother, both of them are fox spirits. Since grandmother stole my husband, her granddaughter has made the emperor dizzy." The empress dowager's eyes looked as if they'd been poisoned as she stared fixedly outside the window. There wasn't even the slightest trace of kindness in her normally gentle demeanor.

Li mama looked at the furious empress dowager without saying a word. Back then, Old Master Shangguan could be said to be the lover of all the women in the capital, even the empress dowager who had yet to leave the pavilion. The empress dowager had thought that she would marry him, but ended up being stopped by the empress's grandmother. In a fit of anger, the empress dowager entered the palace for a talent show and climbed up step by step to the empress dowager's throne. But the empress dowager also seemed to have forgotten that the Shangguan family had never promised her anything, and Old Master Shangguan had personally admitted that he only treated her as a little sister.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, so many years have passed, can you …" The Li mama tried to persuade her, but it only served to further stimulate the hatred that the empress dowager had been hiding in her heart.

"No, how could the Wailing Home forget? One stole my husband and the other wants to steal my son," the empress dowager interrupted her with a stern voice, the cold light in her eyes causing chills to run down one's spine. The Li mama could only stand to the side in embarrassment. She no longer tried to persuade him otherwise, as she was too clear on the empress dowager's stubbornness. She could only pray silently that the First Prince would not be implicated.

"Tomorrow, send someone to invite the empress over. The Wailing Home wants to hand over her rules. "Teach Ya Fei to let that person's granddaughter have a taste of pain," the empress dowager said viciously. The Li mama replied straightforwardly. The Empress' attitude towards the Emperor made her, a servant, feel that it was unfair. She could teach her the rules.
