Chapter 9: Concubine Li is here to cause trouble

After Feng Xiyao was brought here, she was placed behind a comfortable screen so that she could accurately see who came in.

Feng Xiyao didn't understand what the tyrant was trying to do, but fortunately there was food and drink here, so she was happy to come and watch the show.

The ministers came in one by one, not knowing what the emperor was going to do.

The first person to come in was the Minister of the Left, who looked to be in his thirties or forties.

Hearing his name, Feng Xiyao looked at him quietly.

[This Zuo Shangshu is Lin Youquan's right-hand man. He does many things that Lin Youquan wants to do! ]

[He often hired people to pretend to be bandits and robbers, and fought and robbed the common people. He stole a lot of gold and silver treasures. When the court allocated funds for disaster relief, he embezzled a large part of it. When the common people had no food to eat, his dog was eating meat every meal! ]

[Now all the gold, silver and treasures he has are piled up like a mountain in his basement. I remember that when he was discovered and tried to escape, he threw many of the things he couldn't take with him into the river.]

[In the end, this pile of gold and silver treasures was accidentally discovered by the original male protagonist, and became the funds for him to recruit soldiers and horses! ]

[This man was vicious and cunning, and countless people died at his hands. He was also the one who took the lead in impeaching General Qin! ]

Feng Xiyao couldn't help shaking her head when she thought of this. For an official to be so corrupt, he must have no conscience.

Minister Zuo didn't know why the emperor called him here, but he felt that the air around him was getting colder, but he didn't dare to ask.

After listening to Feng Xiyao's thoughts, Mo Cangyan held back and didn't chop the man below with his sword. He just waved his hand to signal him that it was okay and he could leave.

For the people who came in later, Mo Cangyan just chatted with them symbolically. If they were treacherous ministers, he would make a note of them, and if they were loyal ministers, he would let them go. He was as casual as if he was chatting with the ministers.

He was happy to hear that, but Feng Xiyao was not in the mood. The place was too comfortable and warm, making her gradually feel sleepy.

Seeing two more ministers coming in, Mo Cangyan didn't hear his queen's thoughts carefully and looked behind the screen in confusion.

I saw that the empress had fallen asleep with her hands on the desk.

“…”

He frowned unhappily, stood up and walked over.

Just as he reached her side, Feng Xiyao's hands that were originally supporting her felt limp, and she was about to fall. He quickly supported her with his hands.

The palace maid beside him was about to say something when she saw this, but was stopped by him.

Seeing that the woman was sleeping peacefully, Mo Cangyan smiled helplessly.

"Since you have helped me so much today, I will not bother with you for being lazy today."

As he said this, he bent down, picked her up, said "dismiss" and left.

“…”

The two ministers who came in stared at each other in amazement, wondering if they were dazzled.

They actually saw the Emperor hugging the Empress, which meant that the Empress had been behind the screen the entire time!

In the Xichun Palace.

Lin Baoning heard that the Emperor had been doting on the Empress recently and even took her to the Purple Gold Palace to soak in the hot spring, which made her furious.

"Who is the Queen? She actually went to soak in the Emperor's hot spring. Even I have never enjoyed it. How dare she do that?"

Whenever Lin Baoning lost his temper, he liked to beat and scold the palace maids and eunuchs, and he had all kinds of ways to torture people.

Only Ying'er, her personal maid, dared to go up and persuade her.

"My Lady, perhaps the rumors are wrong..."

"Everyone in the Purple Gold Palace has sent me the news and has seen it with their own eyes. How could it be wrong?"

“Ahhhh!”

As she spoke, Lin Baoning went crazy again. She grew up with Mo Cangyan and was childhood sweethearts. She had liked him since she was a child and successfully became his concubine when she grew up. However, it has been three years and the two of them have not had a wedding night. The number of times they have met this year has been even less.

Later, he found out that Mo Cangyan treated all the women in the harem the same, and she felt a little more balanced.

But now there was news that he had begun to favor the Empress, something Lin Baoning could not tolerate.

"Let's go find the Queen and see what tricks she used to seduce the Emperor!"

In the Fengchun Palace.

After Feng Xiyao woke up, he looked at the health value in his mind rising to 10%. He jumped up happily, jumped into the yard, and wanted to run around the yard a few times.

After being happy, she thought about it carefully. She stayed with the Tyrant for a short time yesterday, and her health increased so much. She thought, could the Tyrant be the key to the increase in health? ?

Just as her soul was wandering in the sky, a sharp voice brought her back to her senses.

"Someone, come and search this palace for me!"

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a bright red dress and a phoenix shawl on her head, glaring at her fiercely.

At first glance at the woman's clothes, Feng Xiyao almost thought it was the queen.

But she remembered that she was the queen, and she knew who the visitor was immediately.

Lin Baoning, the daughter of Lin Youquan and the tyrant's cousin, is a woman with big breasts and no brains, and has a bad temper, but she has loved the tyrant since she was a child and finally died for him.

As a tyrant, all men want to kill him, all women cheat on him, and everyone wants to harm his products. It's good to have a woman like Lin Baoning who truly likes him.

Thinking of this, Feng Xiyao didn't want to make things difficult for her, but Lin Baoning came to cause trouble himself.

She glanced at her beaten maid and asked, "Why did Concubine Li beat someone from my palace?"

Lin Baoning stroked the jade bracelet on his wrist and said nonchalantly, "The hairpin that the emperor gave me is missing. Someone said that they saw a maid from your palace enter the Xiuchun Palace!"

Feng Xiyao looked at the palace maids beside her, and seeing them shaking their heads in fear, she curled her lips.

"Oh, does Concubine Li have any evidence, or the Emperor's decree? After all, this is my bedroom, and we can't just let anyone in to search it!"

Seeing her calm and condescending look, Lin Baoning was furious!

In the past, when I came to cause trouble for her, she would never dare to challenge me with any excuse. But now, she is relying on the emperor's favor to speak to me like this.

"You bastard, I will search if I say so. I will tell the Emperor!"

"Why are you still standing there? Go in and search!"

As soon as Concubine Li gave the order, the palace maids and eunuchs she brought with her rushed over to smash things.

"Let me see who dares!"

Feng Xiyao shouted loudly, and that powerful voice successfully stopped everyone.

"Concubine Li, I am the Queen. If you dare to mess with me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Concubine Li was frightened by her shout just now, but after coming to her senses, she fearlessly gestured to Ying'er beside her.

Ying'er received the order, walked over, picked up a pot of beautiful orchids and threw it down hard.

With a "clang", the flowerpot was broken into pieces.
