Shulan smashed everything she could to pieces.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Why don't you let the Duke of Zhenguo stand up for you?"
The head palace maid stepped forward and spoke directly. It can be said that the people in the Consort's palace have always been high and mighty, thinking that they are superior to others, and even that they are different from others because they are the people of the Duke of Zhenguo.
The Duke of Zhenguo wielded immense power, and everyone who saw him had to respectfully address him as "Lord Duke."
“You’re right. Someone send a message to my father, asking him to come see me. Before that…”
The Imperial Concubine glared at her head maid, her face dark. "Guards, drag her away and send her to the Laundry Department. You're the one who gave Mo Yan the chance to hit me." She couldn't deal with Mo Yan right now, but she could deal with this maid.
The head palace maid: "!!??" Why?
The others trembled with fear; the Imperial Concubine was terrifying—she could just pack up her own dowry maid without warning.
...
After dealing with the Imperial Concubine, Mo Yan followed the nanny to see the Empress.
The Empress was actually a very good sister-in-law, but not a good Empress. She disliked intrigue and only wanted to live an ordinary life with her husband.
You can't say she's wrong; you even have to say she's a good sister-in-law.
However, in the imperial family, there is no such thing as kindness. Even her brother had no choice. He didn't like any of the women he married, except for the empress, but he had no choice but to accept his fate.
The empress understood, but she loved her husband deeply and could only watch as he married one woman after another, showering his affections on all women.
The traditional Confucian virtues she accepted made her magnanimous, but deep down she was very unwilling. She was constantly torn between these two emotions, and eventually broke down.
She stepped back, watching the women vie for power and the imperial concubine's family dominate. She began to turn to Buddhism and seek to let go of worldly attachments.
But I can't let go.
This frustration weighed heavily on his mind, and his health gradually deteriorated.
Everyone says that if an emperor cannot have one woman for life, it means he is useless, unable to wield absolute power, and not strong enough.
But who knows that some problems are not just the problem of one emperor, but problems accumulated over generations? The intricate relationships between the imperial court and the harem make it difficult even for the emperor to move forward.
When you want to make a change, your enemies are not only the ministers, but also the imperial relatives and the princes. With so many interests at stake, things slow down.
So Mo Yan acted swiftly and decisively, taking on all the scions of noble families single-handedly and delivering a fatal blow, leaving the emperor to slowly clean up the mess. The blow was so ruthless that it made the Duke of Zhenguo anxious.
That's how things came about. In recent years, the emperor has begun to strategize and plan, while King Wu, while searching for Mo Yan, also looked after the poor scholars from all walks of life.
Mo Yan walked in and saw the Empress lying on the bed, looking like she was on her deathbed.
"Sister-in-law, I'm back."
Upon hearing Mo Yan's voice, the person on the bed moved their fingers, but ultimately did not open their eyes.
Mo Yan felt the air in the room was a bit stuffy, and immediately frowned. "Why don't you open the windows? Open the windows right now so the air can circulate."
Upon hearing the princess's words, someone immediately opened the window. Mo Yan waved her hand to dispel the bad luck in the room before she began to take the princess's pulse.
Everyone: "!!!!" The eldest princess can even treat illnesses? Then why did they need to call the imperial physician?
She wasn't seriously ill; it was just that she couldn't let go of her own feelings.
“You think you can’t survive like this, but without the empress, King Wu becomes the target of everyone’s hatred, a thorn in their side.”
