Chapter 138 Harem Domination

"Feng Xiyao!"

The familiar voice brought Feng Xiyao back to her senses, and she looked up to meet the man's gentle and surprised smile.

"Lin Mingli, why are you here?"

When he saw her again, Lin Mingli couldn't help but smile.

"I came to check out the restaurant, and I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Feng Xiyao followed the man's gaze and looked at the name of the store above his head. It was a restaurant called "Qingzhu Pavilion".

She nodded: "You haven't eaten yet, why are you visiting the restaurant now?"

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Lin Mingli laughed: "This restaurant is originally mine, I'm here to inspect it!"

Looking at the people coming and going in the store, Feng Xiyao was a little surprised. It seemed that business was booming here. It seemed that Lin Mingli's net worth was not simple!

She raised her eyebrows and wondered if she could make a fortune if she invested in it.

Seeing the man smiling at her, Feng Xiyao rolled her eyes and secretly thought that when Mo Cangyan came back, she would definitely find a way to establish a good relationship with Lin Mingli and then directly invest in the company.

Seeing her thinking and laughing at the same time, Lin Mingli didn't know that someone's expression could be so lively.

His eyes stayed on her for a long time.

"Okay, then you're busy, we'll see each other sometime!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Mingli hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, where does Miss Feng live? Do you need me to give her a ride?"

Lin Mingli really hoped that she would tell him or agree to give her a ride.

“…”

Feng Xiyao wanted to tell him that she lived in the palace, but she felt it was not appropriate.

After hesitating for a long time, she smiled and shook her head: "Don't bother you, my home is near... the palace, it's just a few steps away!"

Before Lin Mingli could say something, Feng Xiyao had already waved to him and said, "Goodbye!" Then she walked away.

“…”

Looking at her leaving back, Lin Mingli frowned.

I searched everywhere in Shangjing, but could not find a family with the surname Feng near the imperial palace?

But he was too embarrassed to follow someone, so he could only watch reluctantly as the figure got smaller and smaller.

…

After returning to the palace, before she could even sit down, Ruyi came to tell her that Concubine Li and Lady Shen had a fight.

Inside Chuxiu Palace.

Concubine Li pinned Shen Guiren down and beat him severely, cursing at him as she did so.

"You bastard, you actually asked someone to plot against me. I will beat you to death today!"

Zhang Shen under him was beaten and screamed continuously.

"Help! Someone's been beaten to death! Help me!"

A group of Zhaoyi from Chuxiu Palace stood aside, not daring to go forward to stop it, for fear of getting themselves implicated.

Zhang Shen was in so much pain from being beaten that he shouted angrily, "Why don't you come and help me pull the woman off my body? Do you want me to tell Daddy to beat your father?"

Now Zhang's father is the most powerful person in the country, and no one dares to offend him except Prime Minister Feng. This is why Zhang Shen dares to be so arrogant.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. The emperor was not in the palace now. Although Prince Nan'an was regent, all the officials in the court would look at Zhang's father's expression.

Zhang Shen's move was a naked threat. Several people were worried that their fathers would be implicated, so they could only symbolically go up and pull Concubine Li away.

"Empress Li, please stop hitting me. We are all sisters, please don't ruin the harmony!"

These people spoke nicely, and all of them only came to pull Concubine Li, and did not dare to touch Zhang Shen at all.

Concubine Li was so angry that her face turned blue: "You idlers, get out of here! Who was it that took care of you and let you eat and sleep well? How dare you be so ungrateful now!"

Liu Zhaoyi sneered: "Concubine Li, we are all the emperor's women, don't make yourself sound so great!"

"The emperor is still going to war because of your father. If anything happens to him, you will not be able to escape responsibility!"

Because of the last time she fell into the water, Concubine Li caught a cold and has been recuperating in bed for the past few months. She is only now slowly recovering and has no idea that Mo Cangyan has already led his troops to the battle today.

After hearing what Liu Zhaoyi said, she calmed down instantly.

"That's impossible! My father has clearly been defeated!"

Although she hated her father's rebellion at first, she still felt secretly happy when she knew that he had failed and escaped. At least her father would not die. Unexpectedly, he attacked again, and this time her cousin went to the battle personally!

Liu Zhaoyi continued: "You can go and ask for yourself. The emperor led his troops away from Shangjing this morning!"

Concubine Li shook her head: "Impossible!"

Zhang Shen curled his lips and chuckled: "Okay, now that the emperor is not here, I want to see who can save you!"

As she said this, she walked over and slapped Concubine Li in the face.

"How dare you call me a bitch? Now that Lin Youquan is gone, who the hell are you?"

"How dare you hit me? Who gave you the courage?" He said and slapped me again.

Her hands were tightly held by the person behind her and her body was also pressed down, so Concubine Li had no way to fight back.

“…”

After being slapped several times in a row, Concubine Li felt dizzy.

Seeing that her cheek was swollen, Zhang Shen raised his hand and asked them to put her down.

“…”

Concubine Li was lying on the ground in a wolf-like state, her cheeks swollen, and she was staring at Zhang Shen fiercely.

"Hahaha, so what if you're unwilling? With your current status and position, no one would investigate even if I secretly killed you!"

“…”

The concubines around were all looking at the woman lying on the ground in a state of excitement.

Before Zhang Shen could feel proud for long, Feng Xiyao walked to Chuxiu Palace.

She immediately spotted Concubine Li lying on the ground and quickly ordered Ruyi to help her up.

As soon as Feng Xiyao arrived, all the concubines immediately put away the smiles on their faces and hurriedly saluted her.

"See the Empress!"

Feng Xiyao ignored them and walked over to check on Concubine Li who had been helped up.

Seeing that her cheeks were swollen, her face darkened.

"What happened to Concubine Li? Who hit her?"

Liu Zhaoyi spoke up: "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Li who came to cause trouble for Noble Shen herself, and she even pinned Noble Shen to the ground and beat him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we all saw it. It was Concubine Li who took the initiative to cause trouble!"

“…”

Hearing them defending Zhang Shen, Feng Xiyao became angry.

"I want to ask you who beat Concubine Li like this?"

“…”

This time everyone kept their heads down and said nothing.

Seeing that Feng Xiyao was so angry that no one dared to betray her, Zhang Shen curled her lips and smiled complacently.

So what if she's the queen? I'm not afraid!

Seeing the smug smile on Zhang Shen's lips, Feng Xiyao understood everything.

[I thought there were only school bullies, but it turns out there were harem bullies in ancient times. I hate bullies the most in my life!]

Thinking of this, she ordered Yu'er to help Concubine Li back to the palace to rest, and then asked Ruyi to bring a stool to sit on, and looked up at the women kneeling in the yard.

"I will ask you again, who slapped Concubine Li in the face?"

“…”

Several people kept their mouths shut.

Feng Xiyao nodded indifferently: "I have already given you a chance, but you didn't tell me. So don't blame me for what happens next!"
