Everyone in the hall was shocked. They had all been watching the show, waiting for Emperor Yi to put on a grand performance for them.
Unexpectedly, I appeared out of nowhere halfway through the journey, and even Ji Ruchen's strong and unyielding back trembled slightly.
Just then, a young eunuch rushed in from outside, shouting announcing:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gu, accompanied by his second wife and second son, requests an audience outside the palace. Should we grant them an audience or not?"
Emperor Yi glanced at me and told me to step aside for the time being. He then summoned Prime Minister Gu and his family into the hall. I silently retreated behind Princess Anguo, feeling quite embarrassed.
"Your humble servant Gu Zian, your wife Ling Pianpian, and your commoner Gu Changzhou pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"
Prime Minister Gu Zian looked somewhat haggard, with an unshaven beard, as if he hadn't slept for several days and nights.
The Prime Minister's second wife, on the other hand, had a beaming face, adorned with jewels, as if some great joy had occurred, and the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.
Gu Changzhou, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered, his expression blank and strange. He was utterly devoid of the radiant charm he had when he bullied men and women. He was listless and looked at the Winged Emperor with a peculiar gaze.
"Minister Gu, you've worked hard. Please rise."
Emperor Yi walked directly to Gu Zian, offered a helping hand, and looked at Madam Gu and Gu Changzhou with delight.
"Today, in front of everyone, I have some good news to tell you."
The former Prime Minister's second wife, Ling Pianpian, was my concubine when I was the Crown Prince. Due to the Empress's jealousy, she was driven away by the Empress. When she was driven away, she was already pregnant.
I am heartbroken and have entrusted my beloved minister Zian to look after her. To prevent the Empress from harming her again, she has been known to the world as the Second Madam of the Prime Minister's Residence.
The Empress has committed such a heinous crime today, she can no longer hold the Phoenix Seal and is demoted to a commoner.
The Phoenix Seal is entrusted to Ling Pianpian, who is to be made the new Empress. Ling Pianpian's son, Gu Changzhou, is my second prince. His surname is to be changed from Gu to Ji, and he is to be made the Crown Prince. What do you all think, my lords?
When Emperor Yi asked his ministers in an undeniable tone, none of them dared to voice any objection, especially since most of them were Prime Minister Gu's henchmen.
They received the sentence almost without any reaction.
"Your Majesty is wise! Long live the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness. Long live the Emperor!"
After everyone finished flattering her, the Prime Minister's second wife, Ling Pianpian, cleverly thanked the emperor first, then pulled Gu Changzhou down and forced him to kneel down. That was how the matter was settled.
This is truly unbelievable. The Prime Minister's second wife was actually Emperor Yi's concubine who had been living away from home. It's simply too unbelievable.
In the Kingdom of Yi, who doesn't know that the king is devoted to his queen? In the vast harem, there is only one queen, and not even a maidservant to serve him in bed. From the people of the kingdom to the women, who doesn't envy the king's affection for his queen?
Under the influence of Emperor Yi, in recent years, everyone has followed the example of the monarch and queen and implemented a monogamous system, which has greatly reduced the number of widowers. It can be said that this has done a good job for the people. Even I admire this devoted and single-minded man.
A good ruler or emperor who speaks of a lifelong commitment to one lover is simply the hazy, beautiful white moonlight in the hearts of every young girl.
The moon is shattered today, shattered into nothingness, and even stained with a pitch-black color.
He really has his eye on me, what should I do?
"Zhou'er, is there anything else you want? As long as I have it, I can give it to you. You and your mother have suffered these past years, and I will make it up to you slowly."
