When Emperor Yangwu said this in anger, Concubine Ci was frightened and fell to her knees again.

“…Your Majesty, please forgive me.”

"I don't...that's not what I meant..."

Seeing her so frightened, Emperor Yangwu's expression finally softened:

"Humph! I never imagined that the court is full of good-for-nothings!"

His angry eyes looked at everyone in the hall for a long time before he finally stopped in front of him.

Seeing that there was still the fruit plate on the table that he had knocked over, Emperor Yangwu silently righted the plate, and then replaced the fallen Western Region Amethyst Grapes one by one.

Seeing this, Concubine Ci hurried forward to help, and finally affectionately brought the peeled grapes to His Majesty's mouth.

Emperor Yangwu did not open his mouth, but stood up by supporting himself on the table.

"deliver an imperial order--"

"Call all civil and military officials to court!"

Upon hearing that His Majesty was about to attend court, the eunuchs responded hastily and hurried out of the palace to make arrangements.

Emperor Yangwu also left the hall.

The only one left there was Concubine Ci, who was still holding a half-graped grape in her hand and was stunned.

After a long time, she hummed and put the peeled grapes into her mouth.

"Return to the palace!"

Concubine Ci was inexplicably angry, but she couldn't show it openly.

Even when she returned to the bedroom, sat on the chaise longue and took a cup of hot tea from her servant, the anger on her face had not dissipated.

Just as she was about to drink tea, her eyes fell on the strange maid in front of her, and Concubine Ci suddenly became nervous.

"wrong!"

"Who...are you?"

She could clearly tell that the palace maid in front of her was not a servant in her palace at all.

Seeing that he was recognized, Fu Xi also moved the corners of his mouth:

"I, the demon Fuxi, have come specially to help His Royal Highness King Cheng seize the throne!"

"presumptuous--"

Upon hearing such outrageous remarks from the maidservant in front of her, Concubine Ci couldn't help but slam the table.

Her face was filled with rage, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

Unconsciously, she paid more attention to the other maids in the palace. Seeing that several servants were very far away, she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

"You...where did you come from, maid? How dare you say such outrageous things? King Cheng is the younger brother of the current crown prince. He has no ambition to be crown prince. When did he ever need the attention of a mere maid like you?"

It has to be said that Concubine Ci was a little panicked at this time. Although she did not recognize the maid in front of her, she was sure that she must be from the Queen's side.

Why? Because Fu Xi dared to say that he would help his son Cheng Wang seize the throne. What kind of thing is this?

His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is only twelve years old now. He is also the son of Concubine Ci and has never shown any intention of competing for the throne.

Concubine Ci has been favored by Emperor Yangwu since she entered the palace until now, and her favor far exceeds that of the empress.

Even many years ago, there was a rumor in the court that the son of the current Concubine Ci would definitely become the heir to the throne.

But unfortunately, even though His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is already twelve years old and is almost old enough to set up his own government, the throne of the eldest prince and crown prince remains unshakable.

Even though the current queen is not favored at all, her position as queen has always been there, and her eldest son has always been the crown prince of Qi.

Concubine Ci naturally wanted her son to be the crown prince, and she had been secretly competing with the queen. Of course, it was only a competition for favor between the two of them.

She didn't dare to directly drag King Cheng out to compete with the Crown Prince. After all, the harem was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the crown prince, and this was also His Majesty's weak spot.

Seeing Concubine Ci being so cautious and vigilant, Fu Xi smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This demon is not the Queen's man, but a foreigner. This time, I just want to make a deal with Your Majesty."

"This demon guarantees that Your Highness will definitely make a profit on this deal!"

"Haha! I won't believe such nonsense!" Concubine Ci was obviously not so easily fooled. She was still convinced that the strange servant in front of her was the one sent by the Queen to find fault with her.

As long as she shows the slightest willingness, everything she says will become a handle. When it is revealed in front of His Majesty, she will definitely fall out of favor!

This damn queen is so calculating!

"While I can still control my temper, get out of here now, or I'll sell you to a brothel!"

It was obvious that Concubine Ci was angry and she even warned him with a cold face, but Fuxi was not angry.

After waiting for a while, Concubine Ci found that she had not left yet and was about to get angry, but at this moment, she noticed that the appearance of the servant in front of her had changed...

Fu Xi, who was originally quite short, suddenly became taller, and even her face looked very familiar...

Wait, the Empress—?

When Concubine Ci saw the face clearly at first glance, she was so frightened that she took a step back and even spilled the tea in her hand onto the table.

“You…you…”

Seeing the face that had originally turned into the queen's returned to its original state, Concubine Ci was completely stunned.

How could this person change his appearance in front of me?

Fu Xi shook his head indifferently, "It's just a small skill, not worth mentioning. I just hope that the Royal Concubine can understand that this demon has great means and sincerely wants to help His Royal Highness the King!"

After hearing this, Concubine Ci calmed down.

But even so, she was still very cautious about Fu Xi who suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Even so, I cannot trust you. How do I know that you are not sent by the Queen?"

Fu Xi didn't say much, just stretched out his hand, and there was a letter in his hand.

When she saw the letter, Concubine Ci hesitated for a moment, but felt it was somewhat familiar, so she took it and looked at it.

After seeing clearly that the letter was a secret letter she sent to General Wang, her expression changed completely.

"My Lady, this demon has come here to sincerely assist His Royal Highness the King. If you still don't believe me, then I will return home disappointed."

"According to what I understand... yesterday at 3 p.m., General Wang entered the palace. At 3 p.m., the Imperial Concubine went alone for a boat trip to Taiye Lake. Her boat drifted in the center of the lake for a long time, rocking violently. Was the Imperial Concubine frightened? The sound seemed particularly alluring..."

Fu Xi was about to continue speaking when she was interrupted by an anxious voice:

"That's enough—"

At this time, Concubine Ci was trembling all over, and her hands were clenched tightly in her phoenix robe, but she couldn't move.

"Stop talking! I...I believe you. I don't want to hear about this again!"

She was already extremely furious. She had never expected that the shocking secret from yesterday would be known by the woman in front of her who claimed to be a demon.

It’s so terrible, so terrible!

No matter what Fu Xi's purpose was, she had to agree to it first.

After receiving such an answer, Fu Xi finally raised his head and looked at her.

Her pupils, flashing with black runes, were filled with a faint smile.

"Very good, the Imperial Concubine will be pleased with today's decision. If this demon steps forward, even the Empress will be forced to kneel and beg for mercy!"
