In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
When Emperor Wenyuan saw the phoenix pendant on Yang Zhao's waist, his brows raised slightly.
Phoenix pendant?
His mother actually gave her the Fengpei?
This is rare.
Neither the former empress nor the current empress Xu has ever been able to obtain the real phoenix pendant from the empress dowager.
He thought that his mother was reluctant to hand it over.
But now it was hanging around Yang Zhao's waist.
Could it be that his mother wanted him to take Yang Zhao as his concubine?
Emperor Wenyuan was not averse to taking Yang Zhao as his concubine. After all, this girl was Duke Yang of Qi, who could be said to be the God of Wealth of the Mo Dynasty. The wealth and fame she controlled were enough to shake the Mo Dynasty.
Such a person will naturally feel at ease only when he has control over his own affairs.
It seems that his mother asked him to seek justice for Yang Tiejiang because she had this "plan" in mind.
Think of this.
Emperor Wenyuan's mood immediately brightened considerably. Looking at the extremely handsome Yang Zhao, he smiled, a rare sight, and asked gently, "I heard you beat up the Jade Prince?"
Yang Zhao naturally sensed the change in Emperor Wenyuan's eyes.
A cold look flashed in his lowered eyes.
But on the surface, she appeared very respectful and knelt down to plead guilty: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I did hit His Royal Highness the Jade Prince."
"Why?"
"The Jade King deserves to be beaten."
Emperor Wenyuan frowned.
Should I fight?
This was not something a minister should say, even if she really became his concubine in the future.
"If it was because of rumors, you could have had your father report it to me, and I would have naturally upheld justice for you. But you slapped the Jade King in public."
"You know that your behavior is a disgrace to the royal family."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be punished.
Yang Zhao did not argue and kowtowed.
Emperor Wenyuan looked at Yang Zhao's submissive expression and his expression eased a little.
In his eyes.
That's how women should be.
Gentle and respectful.
But at this time.
Yang Zhao raised his head again, his eyes filled with determination. "Your Majesty, I hit His Royal Highness the Jade Prince. I am willing to be punished, but I do not regret it. If it happens again, I will hit him again."
What?
Emperor Wenyuan was stunned.
Then he frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
Obviously, he didn't like Yang Zhao's "strong" attitude.
But Yang Zhao, like a general on the battlefield, exuded an unyielding fortitude and fearlessness. "Your Majesty, if His Majesty the Jade Prince only seeks to defame me, even if I am furious, I would not dare to attack His Majesty."
"I struck His Majesty the Jade Prince because he did something that endangered the country and the people."
Endangering the country?
Emperor Wenyuan was puzzled when he heard this.
Yang Zhao then took out a letter from his bosom and raised his hands above his head: "Your Majesty, after you read this, you will understand everything."
Eunuch Li hurried forward to take it and presented it to Emperor Wenyuan.
"What's this?"
Emperor Wenyuan looked at the envelope in his hand, and for some reason, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
I always feel that there is nothing good in it.
Because Yang Tiejiang had taken out a bunch of them from his arms not long ago.
"I dare not speak, but I ask Your Majesty to personally review it."
Dare not speak?
Emperor Wenyuan frowned, but finally opened the envelope.
Inside were a few pages of records torn from somewhere, a piece of letter and a sign.
Emperor Wenyuan looked fine at first.
But when he saw the records and letters in the booklet clearly, his face changed and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"Bang!"
Emperor Wenyuan slammed his hand on the table.
The palace maids and eunuchs around were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
Eunuch Li also knelt down hurriedly.
"go out."
Emperor Wenyuan said coldly.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall retreated quickly like the tide, and even Eunuch Li retreated to the door.
"Who else knows about this?"
Emperor Wenyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Zhao and asked.
"Only the minister."
"Then how did you get this thing?"
"Your Majesty, I am a businessman. They say money makes the world go round. I was just trying to find out who was spreading rumors to destroy my reputation, but I unexpectedly stumbled upon this and was able to intercept it in time."
"I know this matter is of great importance, so I have not even told my father."
Emperor Wenyuan cast a cold gaze upon Yang Zhao, as if he wanted to glare a hole through her. He then sat back in his chair and said in a cold voice, "Yang Zhao, since you have entered the palace, do not return. I will confer upon you the title of Consort."
"His Majesty."
Yang Zhao straightened his back, looked at Emperor Wenyuan calmly, and said, "Your Majesty, I cannot be your consort."
"You want to disobey the order?"
"It is precisely because I cannot disobey the imperial decree that I cannot become your consort."
"According to the decree of the previous emperor, Duke Yang of Qi may be a royal merchant for generations to come, but he may not enter the royal family."
Emperor Wenyuan frowned.
"The order of the late emperor?"
"Why don't I know?"
Yang Zhao's eyes were calm. "It is indeed the order of the late emperor. Your Majesty, please ask Mr. Bai."
Emperor Wenyuan was silent.
Yang Zhao knew that Emperor Wenyuan probably didn't believe it.
However, that didn't stop her from saying, "Your Majesty, I have something else to report."
"What's up?"
"The Xu family's raising of private soldiers..."
By the time Yang Zhao came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, half an hour had passed.
The news that she had spent half an hour alone with the Emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony quickly spread throughout the harem...
In Kunning Palace.
Empress Xu was so angry that she smashed another teacup.
