"I just want to prove to those people who only have the Du family in their eyes that this world will turn around on its own without anyone else. Please, please, don't take yourself too seriously, otherwise, you will definitely be abandoned by everyone!"

"Because... the Du family is a lesson for them!"

At that time, Wei Yuchen's fierce eyes were filled with horror as if they were filled with blood. After Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng heard what he said, they immediately understood.

Could it be that the reason why Wei Yuchen wanted to put the Du family to death was because the Du family's reputation overshadowed his as an emperor? This made him feel unbalanced?

Just because of this, he must destroy the Du family, even if it means sacrificing the lives of tens of millions of soldiers and hundreds of innocent people, to make the Wei family the supreme family that deserves to be in this country and is not affected by any external forces. Is this such an absolute price?

This... such a distorted hegemony, such a sinister intention to destroy all influence on the Wei family, is simply outrageous!

No wonder, no wonder that over the years, no strong man who could replace the Du family has appeared, and no family dared to stand out, even if they were mediocre, they dared not take the lead.

I’m afraid, I’m afraid these old foxes who are involved in official circles have already figured out the emperor’s twisted psychology long ago?

It was terrible, so terrible. After Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng had peeked into the heart of the emperor, they felt the horror behind it. Their hands and feet suddenly became cold and cold sweats broke out on their backs.

At the same time, he also understood very well that the two of them today would not be able to escape death.

"Hehehe... Why are you scared now? Where's your courage from just now? Where did it go?"

Looking at the two people with deathly pale faces, Wei Yuchen smiled up to the sky, with a strong poisonous light flashing in his eyes.

However, this vicious gaze gradually turned into an unprecedented feeling of sadness after it fell on the three words "Kunning Palace".

What's more, as powerful as he was, he actually shed tears at this moment, not sure whether it was regret or hatred.

When his eyes were completely blurred, and he parted the grass in a daze and stepped into Kunning Palace step by step, the two people kneeling on the grass with ashen faces seemed to hear a sentence: "Get up!"

Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng looked up in surprise, and saw his tall and straight figure gradually disappearing in the bushes, heading towards the main hall that had already been dilapidated. The two looked at him in astonishment, and subconsciously touched their necks: "This, this is alive, alive?"

It's no wonder that they are so unbelievable. They have said too many outrageous words today that are enough to kill them more than a hundred times. Based on Wei Yuchen's character, he will never let them go. But, but now, what is the situation?

"Perhaps, Your Majesty, you have already figured it out?" Qiu Cheng looked at the tall figure and sighed softly.

"You mean, the emperor has already figured it out? If he has figured it out, then why?"

Liu Shi paused at this point, "Could it be that he is unwilling to face the blows brought about by the facts?"

Qiu Cheng nodded nonchalantly, "This is the helplessness of being an emperor, right? Ordinary people wouldn't admit their mistakes easily, let alone him as the ruler of a country. As the saying goes, a ruler should never joke. The weight of these four words weighs on his shoulders. How painful must it be?"

"He was still young at that time, full of youthful vigor, and could not tolerate any injustice. The Du family's strength was not a good thing for the imperial family, so it was not abnormal for him to be worried."

"Unfortunately, he did not expect that the influence of the Du family had exceeded his ability to bear, because the number of aristocratic families involved in the Du family was too numerous to count. He could not kill them all, nor could he keep them all. He could only pick and choose. Over time, this led to the situation we have today..."

Qiu Cheng's words made Liu Shi feel the same way: "Yes, between not being able to kill everyone and not being able to keep everyone alive, there must be too many possibilities left. Today's 'Du Zi Ming' may be the bitter fruit of the past."

"Alas, what can we do? The emperor is also in pain, but how can others understand? They only see the surface. Even if we just questioned his words, we have been holding them in our hearts for too long. Only when we let out this breath did we realize that it was not so difficult to be unacceptable."

"At least the emperor himself has already figured it out. If we hadn't said these words, how could he have revealed such true feelings in front of us?"

All along, he and Qiu Cheng were the two people closest to Emperor Cheng, so they saw many situations much more clearly than others. His angry words just now were also from the bottom of his heart, wanting to consider his master and make him clearly realize where the problem was.

It's a pity that their actions were unnecessary. Now that he can save his life, doesn't it indirectly reflect that a good change is taking place in his heart?

"Then now..." Liu Shi hesitated, "Should we still go in?"

"Do you have the nerve to follow in after what we just said?"

Liu Shi: …

Wei Yuchen looked at every blade of grass, every window, door, table and couch in Kunning Palace with a heavy gaze. Every step he took felt like a thousand pounds of weight.

Every place and every decoration here can make him stop and close his eyes. What emerges before his eyes are fragments related to these things. It really is a place that carries too much joy and pain.

Among them, the one who appeared the most was Du Yunge. Unfortunately, every time he wanted to see her face clearly, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles and it hurt so much.

It has been twelve years. He has been hiding and avoiding here for twelve years. He never expected that he would muster up the courage to come here today, feeling the decadent atmosphere here, feeling the gloom and desolation here.

For the first time, he felt a strong sense of self-blame.

Originally, he had gained both the kingdom and the beauty, but unfortunately, he did not know how to cherish them and hurt the person he should not have hurt the most, causing her to die with hatred and no body left.

Over the years, whenever he closed his eyes, what appeared before his eyes was Du Yunge holding the dagger he gave her and stabbing him in the heart without hesitation. She lay in a pool of blood, closed her eyes in despair, and never looked at him again until her death.

And there was Wei Lan, who had given him high hopes...

When he thought of this, he was overwhelmed with sorrow and could no longer hold back his tears, which rolled down his cheeks. He sat on the bed where they had once slept, and murmured in pain.

"Yun'er, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, in my next life, I'll be your slave..."

Under the sunlight, Kunning Palace felt the presence of human beings for the first time in twelve years. But no one knew how long this presence would last.

Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng were standing at the gate of Kunning Palace, walking back and forth. Suddenly, when they turned around, they saw two eunuchs peeking out. Liu Shi paused and frowned: "What's going on?"

When the eunuch heard this, he immediately ran over and said, "To reply to Chief Steward Liu, someone from Yongning Palace just came over and said that Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhen had a fight!"

"What did you say? Fighting? What happened? Explain yourself clearly!"

After the young eunuch finished his breathless explanation, Liu Shi waved his hand at the two of them and said, "Alright, we understand. You can leave first."

He glanced at Qiu Cheng and said in embarrassment: "What should we do? We can't disturb the emperor. What are these two women doing?"

Qiu Cheng was in charge of Wei Yuchen's most elite secret guards. How could something that even Concubine Jing knew about escape the Emperor's eyes and ears?

He sneered, "What are you doing? Something happened in Yongning Palace last night. I heard that Concubine Zhen was very scared this morning."

When Liu Shi heard this, he asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

Qiu Cheng raised his cold eyes, his face was cold, "We can't find out for the time being. That person's whereabouts are strange. He knocked out everyone in Yongning Palace silently, and then sneaked into the main hall. I don't know what he did, so that Concubine Zhen fainted when she got up."

"Things may not be as simple as I said. Something must have happened last night. Judging from Concubine Zhen's reaction, this incident is directly related to the massacre at the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion this morning."

Liu Shi's heart trembled: "You mean, the other party's purpose is to use the Du family to intimidate Concubine Zhen?"

"Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, Concubine Zhen has done so many evil things, and she is afraid of so many people and things. It's hard to say. Let's not talk about how Concubine Jing knew about it. She called so many people over early in the morning, so she must be looking for trouble. It's expected that the two of them would have a quarrel, but I didn't expect them to fight. This... is really the first time."

"Then how do we solve this? Should we tell the Emperor?"

Qiu Cheng sneered and glanced at Liu Shi: "Do you think those two women are as important to the emperor as the one in front of you?"

Liu Shi's body was shocked, and he couldn't help but look at the three words "Kunning Palace" that had long since dimmed, and lowered his head silently.

Yes, if it were in the past, they might have gone in to report it, but today was the first time the emperor had set foot here in twelve years. How could such an important occasion be ruined because of those women?

Compared with Du Yunge, Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng's hearts involuntarily leaned towards this great medical queen who was once admired by all of them. In her eyes, other women were not even qualified to carry her shoes.

Especially that Concubine Zhen, who was the Queen's own sister, actually did such a conscienceless thing. Even if she was strangled to death by Concubine Jing today, she deserved it.

The women in Yongning Palace were unaware of the indifference of Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng, especially the two who were entangled with each other and pulling each other's hair. One had bloodshot eyes and the other had distorted facial features. Where was the dignified and graceful lady from the morning?

The rest of the women were shouting quite loudly, but the only ones who actually stepped forward to separate the two were the servants from their two palaces. These concubines were all making a lot of noise but doing little. On the surface, they seemed to be clamoring for reconciliation, but in their hearts they were happier than anyone else.

The fight between Yongning Palace and Changxin Palace, regardless of what happened afterwards, just the present moment was enough to relieve all the anger that one had to endure under the command of these two palaces on a daily basis.

Break up the fight?

Haha, dream on. Today they were just pulled here by Concubine Jing to ridicule someone. How could they possibly try to stop a fight?

Mu Han saw everything in Yongning Palace clearly, and the maids nearby hurriedly pulled her over.

"What should we do? We have just sent someone to tell the emperor, why hasn't he come yet? Aunt Mu, do you think this will work? How about we go and ask the Empress Dowager for help? If the fight continues and something really happens, I'm afraid everyone in Yongning Palace will be held responsible!"

Mu Han's expressionless face was also full of solemnity: "Okay, go ahead, and come back quickly. I'll take care of this place!"

As soon as Mu Han opened her mouth, the nanny stomped her feet and immediately ran towards the Cining Palace.

When she looked back, she happened to see Concubine Jing's sharp nails scratching towards Concubine Zhen's face. She frowned immediately, and as her fingertips moved slightly, a stone flew silently towards Concubine Jing's calf...

Concubine Jing's face was twisted and she let out a cry of pain. She bent her calves and became one head shorter than Concubine Zhen. Naturally, Zhen managed to dodge the waving sharp nails.

When Zhen Fei realized that Concubine Jing was going to destroy her face, she became completely furious. She suddenly stretched out her hands and grabbed Concubine Jing's neck. Concubine Jing's calves were shaking so badly from Mu Han's blow that she couldn't stand at all.

Qiu Zhen took this opportunity to strangle Concubine Jing's neck. When the servants on both sides saw this, they were completely thrown into disarray.

You fought and pushed me, and the situation became a mess. For a moment, no one could intervene and it was difficult to tell the difference between the two sides.

Mu Han stood aside coldly, with impatience flashing in her eyes. Although she wished that this woman would die right now, since her master wanted to save her life, he naturally could not let her be easily killed by others. Thinking of this, she suddenly strode out of the main hall.

When the other concubines saw this, they were stunned.

You have to know that Mu Han is the top female official beside Qiu Zhen. Even the unfavored concubines in the harem have to give her some face when they see her. But what they never expected was that when their master was insulted like this, she not only did not step forward to mediate, but also walked out as if no one was around.

"Hey? What do you think she means? Is she going to ask for help?"

"It doesn't look like that. His face looks terrible."

"I have never seen this woman smile. She has this deadpan look all day long. She is really hard to figure out!"

"But her ability is unquestionable. You don't know, if it weren't for this woman, that idiot Qiu Zhen would have died countless times."

"That's right. This woman has offended too many people in the palace. I don't know how many plots she has been involved in. Unfortunately, she has been able to turn danger into safety every time. I don't know how capable she is."

"Hey, she's back, she's back. Eh? What's that she's carrying?"

Just when the nobles stretched their necks to see clearly what Mu Han had in her hands, they were frightened by her sudden movement and their faces changed drastically.

Subconsciously, he stepped back following her movement, covering his mouth in disbelief, and stared stiffly at Nun Miejue who had no expression on her face from beginning to end.

As for Mu Han, the real protagonist, he poured all the water in the basin onto the palace maids, nannies and empress who were twisted into a ball in the middle of the room. This action shocked everyone and made everyone change color.

“Who? Whoever dares to throw water at me, ahhhh, I’m going to tear you apart!”

"Ah, such cool water. Pfft, it's too cold. Who is this person? Who is it? Stand up for me!"

With a loud bang, Mu Han threw the basin in his hand away, looked coldly at the women jumping up and down, with a cold and ruthless smile on his face.

When these women finally wiped off the water stains on their bodies and wiped the dirty water off their faces, they looked around in a panic with their faces and clothes wet, looking for the culprit who splashed the water, but they found that Mu Han had crossed his arms and looked at them leisurely and coldly: "Don't you want to fight anymore?"

Everyone was stunned by her questioning as if it was a matter of course. After everyone around them looked at them, they straightened their heads and looked at Mu Han, whose features were cold and indifferent.

Among them, Qiu Zhen's eyes were the most angry: "Did you throw the water?"

Mu Han glanced at him coldly, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his lips: "Yes, it was I who spilled the water."

"You, you actually have the nerve to admit it?"

Before Qiu Zhen could say anything, Concubine Jing couldn't wait to step forward and slap Mu Han in the face with her hand.

However, her arm only reached above Mu Han's head when he firmly grasped it: "What is Concubine Jing going to do?"

"You, you bastard, how dare you commit treason?"

Seeing that Mu Han's expression didn't change at all, she was frightened by her cold eyes. Jing Fei suddenly felt that she had lost face today and was extremely embarrassed.

The look he gave Mu Han was like that of a poisonous snake, as if he wanted to go up to her and bite her hard.

Mu Han raised his eyes and glanced at her coldly, "There is a reason for this. I have to overstep my authority. The Queen Mother is about to arrive. Are you ladies going to greet her with such appearance?"

"You trampled man, if it weren't for you, how could I be soaked all over?"

"But if it weren't for this servant, Your Majesty would still be fighting with Concubine Zhen, right? Are you planning to put on a wonderful show to make fun of these cold-eyed bystanders?"

Mu Han's question made Concubine Jing stunned for a moment. Even Concubine Zhen, who was shaking with anger, looked up in surprise. Almost at the same time, their eyes fell on the concubines in the palaces who were surrounding them and had not yet retracted the look of watching a good show on their faces. They suddenly woke up.

Yes, if it wasn't for Mu Han's just-right splash, I'm afraid they would still be fighting each other without knowing what was going on, making these people laugh at them, and waiting for the Empress Dowager.

Wait, the Queen Mother?

Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhen looked at Mu Han at the same time: "The Empress Dowager is coming? That means, that means...?" The Emperor is coming too?

Oh my god, if that's the case, then the two of them now, aren't they, aren't they...

Just when the two men were so anxious that their faces changed drastically and their throats were filled with anger, Mu Han said indifferently: "The emperor is not free at the moment and will not come over. However, if the two ladies are still standing here, and the empress dowager comes over, you will also..." You will be in trouble!

Who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager pays the most attention to etiquette and rules?

The two of them were the emperor's concubines. It would have been bad enough that they fought in front of a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, but they were also poured with a basin of water in the air, drenching them from head to toe. It was the first time in their lives that they had suffered such humiliation.

Although Mu Han was doing this for their own good, this method was a bit too extreme, especially since Zhen Fei had been frightened awake in the morning, and Mu Han not only did not comfort her, but also kept speaking coldly to her. Even though she knew that Zhen Fei had always been like this, she still had a grudge in her heart, and the look she gave Mu Han was filled with anger.

Concubine Jing didn't even have the time to criticize Mu Han. She immediately left with a gloomy face, wearing the clothes of a servant.

When the other concubines saw this, they dared not stay to watch the fun anymore. They were so frightened that they knelt down in panic.

Not until everyone had left did Zhen Fei come to her senses and glanced sharply at Mu Han with an extremely complicated look.

"Is the Queen Mother really going to come over soon?"

Unexpectedly, Mu Han sneered, "The Queen Mother has not asked about the affairs of the harem for many years. How could she come here? The maid who went to report the news would definitely be stopped outside the Cining Palace and would not be able to enter."
