"The Empress Dowager holds absolute power in the harem and controls the Phoenix Seal, so my daughter's situation is precarious."
A hint of coldness flashed in Prime Minister Liu's eyes as he said coldly, "I know that my daughter was previously banished to the Cold Palace. I heard that the reason was that she was practicing witchcraft in the harem."
Has His Majesty thoroughly investigated this matter?
The women in the imperial harem had their lives and deaths determined by the emperor's single word.
His beloved daughter, well-versed in history books from various countries, was raised to be simple-minded.
She would never use witchcraft in the palace unless someone deliberately set a trap for her.
The emperor had complete control over news in the harem, so he was unaware that the imperial concubine had been banished to the cold palace.
When she disguised herself as a palace maid and stole food at a banquet, it aroused his suspicion.
Then, not long after, the emperor took her out of the cold palace and let her live in the Wolong Palace.
The emperor's bedroom has never been slept in by any woman since ancient times; even the empress did not have this honor.
Rumors were circulating both inside and outside the palace about how much the emperor doted on his concubine, but he felt this was very wrong.
If the two are truly in love, the emperor must grant Qingcheng a supreme position in the harem before he can feel at ease.
No matter how glamorous a favored concubine may be, she is still just a concubine.
How can she compare to the Empress, who reigns supreme over the land?
No matter how much the emperor dotes on the empress, the ministers and the people will only say that the emperor and empress are deeply in love.
The concubines in the harem who framed his beloved daughter should also be punished without exception.
Tonight, taking this opportunity, he wanted to give this young emperor a little nudge.
He rose to fame at a young age, entered the court as prime minister, and assisted the late emperor in stabilizing the government and expanding the territory.
If it weren't for the late emperor and her... why would he have sent his only legitimate daughter into the palace?
Puyang Tang had anticipated that the Prime Minister would question him.
Some time ago, the Prime Minister subtly hinted that he wanted to visit his daughter in the palace on several occasions.
He was afraid that his 'father-in-law' would tell the little one to stay away from him, the tyrant, so he always refused with various excuses.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will personally deal with those people after we return to the palace."
The young emperor's dark eyes flickered slightly as he said, "I will make her rule the world, but now is not the time."
Prime Minister Liu asked, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
...
...
The Autumn Hunt assassin incident caused widespread panic.
Fortunately, the guards executed all the assassins.
The army escorted the group back to the capital in a grand procession, and the envoys soon returned to their vassal states.
Since the emperor returned to the palace, the atmosphere in the harem has become somewhat oppressive, as if a dark cloud is hanging over their heads.
There was a sense of impending storm brewing in the imperial harem.
really--
The Empress Dowager was suddenly arrested and imprisoned in the imperial prison.
Who would have thought that the most esteemed woman would one day be imprisoned?
The ministers and concubines were all puzzled.
Eunuch Gao presented the imperial edict listing the Empress Dowager's crimes, including one that she had ordered someone to poison the Emperor.
The poison wasn't in the clothes, the incense burner, or any food.
Rather, it was found in the emperor's dining utensils.
After Su Ruqiu was ordered to be beheaded soon, the officials who followed the Grand Commandant keenly sensed a sense of crisis.
The inner palace influenced the court, and the officials suddenly noticed that the emperor had undergone some changes.
For example, he no longer kills people at the slightest disagreement, unlike before.
The ministers who had initially intended to join the regent in rebellion now harbored doubts and wavered.
The Phoenix Seal fell into Fu Sang's hands.
Consort Lian became uneasy.
What if one day what she did is discovered?
Consort Lian asked with a sinister look in her eyes, "Cai Die, has the matter been resolved?"
