At this time, in Shang Shu Manor, Minister Wen and Imperial Censor were playing chess together. They both had one common enemy, and that was Hu Xiao.
Hu Xiao had broken the ancestor’s rules and caused the majority of the women in the imperial court to be unhappy with him.
"Master Lee, how do you think we should take down the Queen?" Minister Wen placed the chess pieces on the board and asked with a smile.
Hu Xiao was deeply doted upon by the Emperor, if he wanted to pull her down, she would not be so simple, if not for the hundred officials of the civil and military officials insisting on her role, Hu Xiao’s position would definitely be as solid as a diamond.
Minister Wen was a smart person, so he naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to attack. In the imperial court, Imperial Censor’s words were often the most useful, and even the Emperor had to be wary of him.
"The emperor insisted on protecting her. For her sake, he didn’t hesitate to make enemies with all the civil and military officials. If he wanted to drag her down, he would have to rely on the imperial concubine’s influence." The Imperial Censor spoke meaningfully. Two days ago, they had already done their best and tried their best to remonstrate with Qin Shuo. They wanted Qin Shuo to lock him up.
But the result, Qin Shuo threw them out, what was even more despicable was that this hungry and rough girl, Hu Xiao actually dared to hit the Emperor!
Looking at him at that time, they were both furious and resentful, wishing that they could beat Hu Xiao to a pulp. However, their martial skills were inferior, so they didn’t dare to attack.
Minister Wen didn’t expect him to mention his cousin, but he only saw that Minister Wen sighed and shook his head, "It’s not up to me to decide. When the Queen didn’t enter the palace yet, my cousin’s Holy Pet wouldn’t be weak, but after she entered the palace, everything changed. The Emperor took a look at her as if he was drugged by the Queen, and even us old subjects don’t agree to it."
With that, the Minister Wen sighed again. If it was really that useful, he would not have let Hu Xiao act so arrogantly. He had already ordered Xue Mier to attack.
"Since ancient times, there has been no justice, but there is still a way. As long as we work together, the emperor will definitely kick the witch away." Imperial Censor took over Minister Wen’s words. Right now, he didn’t have any ideas in his mind, he only hoped that the Emperor would reflect on himself and kick the demon woman.
Just then, the mansion’s servants rushed in. He said angrily, "Sir, something terrible happened. The emperor and imperial concubine were kidnapped by the Empress."
He spoke quickly and hurriedly, the Minister Wen could barely hear the word "kidnapping". Immediately, he frowned and asked sharply: "Speak properly, what happened?"
These servants were restless and unable to show their faces.
"My lord, the General Zhao has sent someone over to deliver the message that the Emperor and esteemed imperial concubine were kidnapped by the Empress." The servant heaved a sigh of relief. This time, his voice was much clearer than before.
"What!" Minister Wen opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He quickly stood up from his seat, "What did you say?"
Kidnapping!
What kind of monster was this? He even dared to kidnap the Emperor! Not to mention him, even the Imperial Censor was shocked. The empress had eaten the heart of a bear, yet she actually dared to do such an outrageous thing.
"The empress is bullying me too!" Damn it, how dare he kidnap his cousin!
"Sir Shang Shu, you can enter the palace. This official will go inform the other ministers right away." The Imperial Censor hurriedly said. In his eyes, the Emperor was the only one, the Emperor was kidnapped, what kind of outrageous thing was this?
Zhao Qiyan was waiting at the door with a long sword in his hand. Seeing Minister Wen coming, he smiled, and it was rare for him to see Minister Wen so anxious.
"Minister Wen, I believe you already know about the matters between the Emperor and the Imperial Consort Xue." Zhao Qiyan took a step forward and said with a funny voice.
He looked at Minister Wen with a playful gaze. He thought, what a cunning fox, to actually stay at home and pretend to be sick, thinking that he can escape from death just like that?
Innocent!
Minister Wen was angry in his heart, when he saw Zhao Qiyan standing leisurely at the door with no intention of saving his, he could not help but get angry.
How could there be such a person like this? His Majesty and Imperial Consort were kidnapped, but he was still so calm!
"General Zhao, what are you standing there for? The emperor and imperial concubine are inside, don’t you need to save them?" Minister Wen glared at Zhao Qiyan as he asked.
The Son of Heaven was in trouble, but Zhao Qiyan stood outside the door like a Buddha statue, doing nothing while holding the sword.
After Yin Fufeng heard this, his lips hooked up into a ridiculing smile, and said: "Minister Wen, you still need someone else to clean up this mess when you create trouble. Now you still have the face to make such a ruckus, heh, your skin is getting thicker and thicker over."
Yin Fufeng did not care about whether Minister Wen was embarrassed or not, and directly said those words.
Hearing that, Minister Wen clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with a sinister look. What kind of mess did he create? What did he just say? With his heart and soul, for the sake of the East Court, in the eyes of the Prime Minister Yin, he had actually become a disaster!
In the palace, Hu Xiao walked step by step towards the crying Xue Mier. She squatted down, used her fingers to lift Xue Mier’s face and asked coldly: "It’s best to speak the truth. How did you two hug each other?
Her fingernails held tightly onto Xue Mier’s flesh, causing him to tear up. She had already scolded Hu Xiao a thousand times in her heart.
The pain suffocated her!
Xue Mier was scared, she knew that Hu Xiao came for real, at that moment, she was regretting it, regretting that she had made Hu Xiao angry.
She thought that if she had not kissed the Emperor, Hu Xiao might not have been so angry.
Her mind was a complete blank. She only knew that Hu Xiao was going to punish her.
"Your Majesty, save me. Empress Sis wants to harm chenqie." Xue Mier turned her head and asked Qin Shuo for help. There were only the three of them here, and other than Qin Shuo, she really couldn’t find anyone else to ask for help.
After entering the door, Qin Shuo had not said a single word. It was all because of Hu Xiao’s temper.
Qin Shuo just watched quietly from the side. Hearing Xue Mier’s cry for help, he shook his head, pointed at his own face and said, "Did you see our face, it was the empress who hit us."
His voice was extremely calm, but Xue Mier’s heart was in turmoil. The emperor’s face was actually slapped by the empress!
Her eyes widened in surprise. This matter had not spread, so she did not know.
She pointed at the emperor’s face, too shocked to speak.
"Heh, did you see that? This is my beating. If you continue to be dishonest, your end will be even worse than the emperor’s." Hu Xiao squinted her eyes and threatened her.
Xue Mier’s face became even more pale. If she called Tian Tian a coward, how would she leave this place?
Outside, Minister Wen knocked on the door and shouted loudly, "Open the door, Queen! Open the door!"
