In the script, there is indeed a scene where the Crown Princess executes all the imperial physicians as soon as she ascends the throne. Initially, it was thought the Crown Princess was simply angry that they hadn't cured her mother, the Empress, but it turns out there's more to the story. It seems this person is far more ruthless than she imagined in her quest to become Empress.
The Empress died, and without a will, the Crown Princess naturally became the new Empress.
However, before the coronation ceremony could even take place, rumors began to circulate that the Qi family's fortunes had run out and that Qihuang needed to choose a new person destined for the throne, otherwise great calamity would befall them.
The new empress was furious when she heard this.
During the coronation ceremony, one part of the ritual involved the imperial advisor predicting the future of the nation's destiny for the empress. The empress was inextricably linked to the nation's fate; a negative prediction would cause widespread panic.
In the story, the original owner tested it, but didn't say anything because the world would change. So whether she said it or not is unimportant.
Now things are different. The rumors were originally fueled by Wan Ge. Now, in front of so many ministers and a segment of the common people, she can say whatever she wants.
When Ge said that the great drought was just beginning that night, the Empress couldn't help but slap her across the face.
Wei Sheng was standing next to Wan Ge at the time and wanted to stop her from the start, but Wan Ge grabbed his hand, clearly signaling him not to move.
The others were shocked when they saw the Empress, enraged, slap the Imperial Advisor in public. They knew the Empress was somewhat incompetent, but... at least she hadn't caused any major disasters. If... if the current Empress had started like this from the beginning... Qihuang would surely be destroyed.
Moreover, given the Grand Preceptor's high status, even if someone was angry, they shouldn't have been slapped in public. This slap wasn't just on the Grand Preceptor's face, but also on everyone's hearts.
When the Empress ordered the Imperial Advisor to be taken away, not a single soldier dared to move.
The Empress was even angrier. She was now the Empress, the ruler of the country. What was this Imperial Advisor?
Before the Empress erupted, Wan Ge simply turned to Wei Shengyi beside her and said, "Then I'll trouble the General to lead the way."
Wei Sheng remained silent and left with Wan Ge. The ministers all tried to dissuade the Empress, but she refused to listen.
Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a heavy rain began to fall.
At that time, the Empress was thinking to herself, "What do you mean by a severe drought? How could there be a severe drought in this kind of weather?"
Unexpectedly, starting the next day, the sun shone brightly for several days in a row, and it was already excessively hot even though spring had just passed.
Spring is the transition period between spring and summer, a time when the weather is unpredictable and rainy, but Yue has already had several sunny days.
In less than half a month, some people began to say that what the Imperial Advisor said was true, that the Qi family could no longer be emperors, otherwise Qi Huang would have no way out, and some people even asked a master to find someone with the destiny of the phoenix.
…
Meanwhile, in the prison, Wan Ge lived a life of luxury, and none of the guards dared to offend her, because everyone there was Wei Shengyi's man.
When the guards saw the general arrive, they all went out, leaving the general and the imperial advisor alone.
Wei Sheng also looked around at the surroundings. Although he had already asked people to make it very nice, he still felt that this place was not worthy of his wife.
"When does the Empress Dowager plan to leave?" More and more people are now shouting for the release of the Imperial Advisor.
