As soon as the news reached the palace, the Empress Dowager fell ill.
The Queen Mother was also greatly shocked and cursed Emperor Dao Yuan and Bei Lingyao madly.
The concubines in the harem were in panic.
They were all designated by the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to enter the palace. The Tang family is finished, and Emperor Daoyuan has never touched them. What should they do now?
Will the emperor enter the harem?
Some concubines committed suicide when they saw their father's or mother's families were convicted.
Some concubines were not implicated and were still looking forward to it.
However, he did not expect that Emperor Daoyuan would issue an edict to directly clear out the harem.
Even Bei Lingyao was surprised. She thought Emperor Daoyuan might be too impatient. Now that most of the court was empty and the harem was emptied, what would the eight countries think?
The remaining court officials all requested Emperor Daoyuan not to dismiss the harem, but Emperor Daoyuan refused to listen.
He doesn't need women, and keeping these concubines in the palace will only delay their flowering period.
He had no say in the matter before, but now that he can, he just wants to clear out the harem and pretend that it’s out of sight.
There were also officials who came to Bei Lingyao for help, and Bei Lingyao naturally would not stop them. She also had the ability to protect Emperor Daoyuan and prevent the destruction of Langya Kingdom.
Emperor Daoyuan, on the other hand, really doesn't care about anything except practicing martial arts. As long as someone with ability and virtue takes over, Emperor Daoyuan will hand it over.
Emperor Daoyuan had such a mentality, and the Empress Dowager, the late Emperor and the Tang family played an indispensable role in this.
Apart from his biological mother who gave him life, he had no feelings for his blood relatives such as the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor, and no sense of belonging to the royal family.
"Get out! Get out of my Shoukang Palace!"
In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager angrily scolded Master Li, no longer having the composure she had when she was regent.
Grandmaster Li didn't know why Emperor Daoyuan didn't kill him and sent him back to Shoukang Palace, but he thought it was better to live than to die.
Without his cultivation, he aged rapidly. Even after hearing that Duke Tang and the Tang family had died, it did not dispel the hatred in Master Li's heart.
Now in the Empress Dowager's palace, Master Li's mentality had changed a long time ago. The more the Empress Dowager didn't want to see him, the more he appeared in front of her.
"Reporting to the Grand Empress Dowager, the Emperor has ordered the harem to be dismissed."
The Empress Dowager's expression changed. "What is the Emperor doing? Let the Emperor come to see me."
Grandmaster Li sneered, "When the Empress Dowager still thought she was the regent, the last place the Emperor wanted to come was Shoukang Palace."
The Empress Dowager ignored Master Li. She knew that Master Li hated Duke Tang and also resented her.
But she also felt resentment. If Master Li had not come out to testify against her brother, her brother and the Tang family would not have ended up like this.
She, the Empress Dowager, would not be deprived of power.
Emperor Daoyuan naturally did not come. He only sent someone to pass on a message, asking the Empress Dowager when she would deal with the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager flew into a rage, "Your Majesty has gone too far."
There were still some daughters of the Tang family who married out and were not implicated, but only the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were left in the palace.
The Tang family was wiped out, but the emperor still kept targeting the empress dowager.
This rebellious grandson.
The Empress Dowager regretted bringing Emperor Daoyuan back.
If she had adopted a child from the royal family and registered it under the name of the late emperor, or replaced it with the blood of the Tang family, she would never have fallen to this point.
Emperor Daoyuan could not depose the Empress Dowager, but the Grand Empress Dowager could, but she was unwilling to do so.
"Report to the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Master has arrived."
"Let her go."
The Empress Dowager hated Bei Lingyao to the extreme.
But now the people in Shoukang Palace can't stop Bei Lingyao.
As soon as Bei Lingyao came in, Grandmaster Li immediately moved away.
The Grand Empress Dowager glared at Bei Lingyao fiercely, "What I regret most is welcoming you into the palace."
"Oh"
Bei Lingyao sneered, "Even if you don't invite me into the palace, I can still avenge my blood feud. Your Tang family has committed many evil deeds. If God doesn't punish you, someone else will."
"What are you doing here?"
The Empress Dowager remained silent. To her, there were only winners and losers, and kindness had long been wasted.
"I came to persuade the Grand Empress Dowager to deal with the Queen Mother."
"Impossible, you made the emperor give up this idea."
The Empress Dowager thought that Bei Lingyao was a lobbyist hired by Emperor Daoyuan, and she became even more angry.
"If I want the throne, will the emperor give it to me?"
Bei Lingyao joked.
The Empress Dowager's face instantly turned gloomy. That rebellious grandson might really give up the throne.
"When you brought the Emperor back to the palace, even if it was difficult for Duke Tang to deal with the Queen Mother, as long as you gave up your power and focused on cultivation, and stood by the Emperor wholeheartedly, the Emperor would not do anything to you, let alone kill the Tang family.
Besides, the Emperor has no interest in the throne. If you hadn't forced him to favor the Tang family's daughter or any concubines connected to the Tang family, and let nature take its course, perhaps by now his great-grandchildren would be running around everywhere."
"The Emperor is Infertile"
When the Empress Dowager said this, Bei Lingyao raised an eyebrow, "Do you believe it?"
The Empress Dowager hesitated, she didn't quite believe it.
"Even if the Emperor can't heal himself, there's the Pure Yang Taoist. Ultimately, it's because the Grand Empress Dowager is pushing too far. The Emperor would rather be sterilized than comply with the Grand Empress Dowager's wishes."
The Empress Dowager collapsed completely, as if all her energy and spirit had been drained away.
"I will issue an edict to depose the Queen Mother. You tell the Emperor to take care of himself. He is my only grandson, and I always hope for his best. Hand the Kingdom of Langya over to him, and I will not interfere in the future."
The Empress Dowager compromised and tried to save her own reputation by ignoring the fact that her power had been taken away from her and simply said that she had handed over power to Emperor Daoyuan.
She was really afraid that Emperor Daoyuan would give away the throne and that the Kingdom of Langya would be destroyed.
Bei Lingyao walked out of Shoukang Palace with a smile, and then an imperial decree was issued from Shoukang Palace.
