"How could she be so lucky to survive..."
"If the Empress doesn't return to Kyoto, everyone will be happier."
Just then, a clear and melodious voice rang out.
The boy's voice was calm: "Do you know that criticizing Her Majesty the Empress is a grave crime?"
The young men looked in the direction of the sound.
Standing on the path in the Imperial Garden was a young man as elegant as an orchid or a jade tree. A moon-white robe wrapped around his slender figure, and his long, jet-black hair was tied up with a jade crown.
Men in Kyoto like to use rouge for makeup, applying a layer of white powder to their entire face, and then coloring their lips with lip rouge.
The young man had delicate features, and his handsome face was like a clear breeze and bright moon in the sky. His clear eyes were as indifferent as a pool of spring water.
His appearance is stunning and breathtaking.
The young masters gathered together stared in disbelief.
A young boy stepped out from behind the boy and said, "Have you not yet paid your respects to the Empress?"
Only then did everyone realize what was happening, and they all stood up and greeted the Empress.
This is Jiang Linxian, the son of the Great General and the Queen Consort whom the Empress married. He is a young man who is second only to the Empress in the Shuiyun Kingdom.
Unfortunately, despite his stunning good looks, Her Majesty the Empress did not like him at all.
If they liked it, why would they ignore it and send all their precious treasures to Ouyang Ziming?
Jiang Linxian left with the child, her expression indifferent.
After he left.
The young men sat down, their faces showing disdain.
"The Empress has no imposing presence at all; no wonder she has been constantly suppressed by Consort Ouyang."
"It's because he doesn't please the Empress, and he's weak-willed, always hiding in the palace and never coming out."
"The position of Empress will belong to Young Master Ouyang sooner or later."
These young masters did not lower their voices to discuss the matter.
Therefore, all the unpleasant words reached the ears of the queen and her servant.
The attendant was secretly annoyed and said, "These male favorites have no sense of hierarchy, how despicable! Your Majesty, should we send someone to slap them a few times?"
Jiang Linxian lowered her long eyelashes slightly, her beautiful eyes still indifferent.
"No need to worry about that."
The harem is full of male concubines who only know how to crave wealth and status; they can't accomplish anything significant.
A few days later, Kyoto, in full bloom, welcomed back its true master.
Fusang's imperial carriage returned to the inner palace first.
As she lay on the comfortable, large dragon bed, she couldn't help but hug the blanket and roll around a few times.
"The dragon bed in the palace is still the most comfortable. My bones are about to fall apart from traveling these past few days. I must eat lots of delicious food to make up for it."
A man's and a woman's voices could be heard from outside.
"His Majesty."
Fu Sang quickly sat up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Come in."
A man and a woman walked in.
The servant was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and the girl was also in her teens.
Although still young, their physique and mind are already mature, and they are already capable adults.
The attendants and ladies-in-waiting were Wenbao and Lianxiang, who had followed the Empress since childhood.
Lianxiang asked, "Your Majesty, I heard you were injured. Are you feeling better?"
Fu Sang smiled slightly and said, "My injuries have healed, so you don't need to worry. I called you here today because there are some things to arrange."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Fu Sang got up and walked to the incense burner in the hall. He opened the incense burner and said, "Take this incense burner and have the imperial physician take a look at it and check what was added to it."
Wenbao and Lianxiang were startled.
Her Majesty the Empress gave such an order; could there be something wrong with the incense burner?
A cold glint flashed across Fu Sang's exquisite face as she said, "Yu Zhu is a spy planted by the Prince of Xiaoyao by my side. You two should be careful in the future and make sure he doesn't discover the problem."
