The original owner had just fainted from crying. It was simply because the emperor had recently favored another palace maid without telling her, and had directly bestowed upon her the title of concubine without even taking her seriously. If it weren't for her title as empress, and if it weren't for her powerful father, she would probably have been trampled to dust in this cannibalistic palace by now.
"Go." Lu Qingyan waved her hand. Her body was severely depleted. She appeared to be fine on the outside, but was actually very weak inside. Even after lying down for a while, she felt dizzy and lightheaded when she got up again. Lu Qingyan said, "Fennel, go and make me a cup of tea."
The woman in the blue palace dress responded and left. Now only Lu Qingyan remained in the hall. She held the empty teacup, swirled it, and saw that it was full. After a few sips of spiritual spring water, Lu Qingyan regained some strength.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing with that empty cup?" Fennel handed over the warm tea and advised, "Your Majesty, as the Empress, you should be more open-minded. It's a good thing that the Emperor is diligent in governing and the government is peaceful."
Lu Qingyan pouted and said domineeringly, "What good thing? He's just blinded by those vixens outside. In terms of looks and talent, where am I lacking? Why can they seduce the Emperor, but I can't keep him?"
"Your Majesty!" Lu Qingyan's words saddened Huixiang as well. Yes, her mistress was so good, how could the Emperor not see it?
Huicao quickly fetched the water back. While washing her face, Lu Qingyan recalled the current plot developments. It should be the time when the Emperor appoints a new Prime Minister. And tomorrow is the state banquet where the two of them will have their affair. The Prime Minister Jun Jiuxian, who will later be cuckolded, will attend the banquet with his newlywed wife, Baili.
In the story, Jun Jiuxian and Bai Li were originally deeply in love, but Zongzheng Shen forcefully separated them, making it impossible for the lovers to be together. Zongzheng Shen originally wanted to kill Jun Jiuxian, but with Bai Li's pleas and threats of suicide, Zongzheng Shen not only allowed Jun Jiuxian to live but also give him control of the army, making him the first prime minister-general in history. This broke the traditional system where the prime minister governed the government, the grand commander controlled the army, and the censor-in-chief supervised all officials.
#I want you to protect my kingdom and watch me and your woman be happy and loving!#
In the end, Zongzheng Shen and Bai Li were indeed deeply in love and began to target Jun Jiuxian. Unfortunately, Jun Jiuxian escaped and planned to eliminate them to support the new emperor. As for the final outcome, there is no further information available.
Tsk tsk, thinking about it this way, Lu Qingyan suddenly felt that Jun Jiuxian was much more miserable than herself.
"Now I've figured it out. Whoever the Emperor favors is none of your business. Let them do what they want." Lu Qingyan calmly instructed the palace servants, and amidst their surprised and somewhat apprehensive gazes, she began preparing for the arrival of tomorrow.
This time, Emperor Zongzheng Shen is also a martial arts master. At most, it will be less than two years before the Lu family is executed. She is now locked in the deep palace and can't do anything but find an ally. Prime Minister Jun is an excellent candidate.
Yes, Jun Jiuxian, you are my points and assist. If special effects were available, Lu Qingyan's eyes would be filled with starlight as she gazed at Jun Jiuxian. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, the sky is full of point stars~
It happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival, and the court had promoted a new batch of officials. Emperor Zongzheng was overjoyed and held a banquet to entertain all the officials. As the empress, Lu Qingyan naturally had to attend this banquet. At this banquet, she also saw Jun Jiuxian, the cuckolded man from the story.
