A few days later, it was the day of the banquet.
Shi Wei changed into a gorgeous bright yellow palace dress, looking noble and bright.
With slightly upturned eyebrows and a faint smile on the corners of her lips, she looks extremely charming.
Liu Zhao felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart as he watched from afar as Shi Wei walked up the white jade steps covered with a red carpet, ascending step by step. Her golden tail swayed on the red carpet, like a blooming flower.
Liu Zhao had always known that Shi Wei was beautiful, but he had always suppressed his feelings and not allowed himself to be moved by her. But at this moment, he could clearly hear something in his heart collapsing.
No! He couldn't love her! She belonged to the Gu family, and when he left the Gu family, he would marry his beloved Lulu.
Liu Zhao forced himself to calm down in his heart, but looked at Shi Wei with deep affection on his face. When Shi Wei was about to walk up the stairs, he even extended his hand to her.
Shi Wei ignored Liu Zhao's hand and walked past him to the seat on the platform. Then she sat down.
I feel like the queen and I am the only one in power.
Liu Zhao's face darkened slightly, and he secretly clenched his fists. This damn woman! One day, he would make her kneel at his feet.
Liu Zhao suppressed his anger and put on a calm smile again. He walked to the seat next to Shi Wei and sat down. Then he waved to the ministers below and asked them to sit down.
Shi Wei's eyes were cold, but her body was leaning lazily on the chair without moving.
She felt a little disgusted, thinking that this chair was not as comfortable as the couch.
But it will end today.
She sent a letter to Liu Jin's residence yesterday.
He will definitely not come to the banquet today.
Sure enough, soon a eunuch approached Liu Zhao and whispered a few words in his ear.
Liu Zhao's eyes dropped on the spot. He actually held this banquet just to kill Liu Jin. How could he not be there!
Liu Zhao said coldly: "Keep sending people to invite them!"
After receiving the order, the eunuch went down to invite him immediately.
Shi Wei glanced lazily at the eunuch who was looking down.
After leaving the palace, the eunuch was immediately executed on the spot and did not cause any unrest.
After offering sacrifices to heaven, Liu Zhao went to entertain all his ministers, including Shi Wei. As the highest-ranking imperial concubine in the harem, Shi Wei also went to entertain the other concubines of the same rank in the harem.
The women in the harem were jealous of Shi Wei who sat in a high position, but they had no way to pull her down. Unfortunately, they were no match for Shi Wei, and after being disciplined by Shi Wei several times, they all became much more obedient.
Shi Wei picked up the peeled, crystal clear lychee and took a bite.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion below.
It turned out that it was Chen Lulu who came.
The concubines in the harem were all very surprised. Why did Chen Lulu come out?
Just when everyone was confused.
Shi Wei's cold voice rang out from the high platform.
Shi Wei smiled and said, "Sister Chen, come here quickly."
Shi Wei explained, "Sister Zuo suddenly fell ill yesterday, and I allowed her to return home."
"Sister Chen is the only one staying with me right now. You are not allowed to bully her!"
Shi Wei said this with a smile, then stood up, walked down, pulled the somewhat confused Chen Lulu up the stairs, and sat her next to her.
As soon as these words were spoken, the concubines who had wanted to attack Chen Lulu suddenly became as quiet as chickens.
After all, I can't defeat Shi Wei, so I can only protect myself first.
Chen Lulu was even more confused. She came here to kill the bitch Gu Shiwei, and she and Gu Shiwei had no sisterly feelings.
However, if Shi Wei can be stabilized first, it won’t be too late to kill her after she is restored.
Chen Lulu thought so, so she didn't take any action immediately.
But soon, Liu Jin's words of forcing the emperor to abdicate were spread to the harem, and a smile flashed in Shi Wei's eyes.
It finally started.
Chen Lulu's heart sank. She felt a little panicked and was about to run out to find Liu Zhao.
Shi Wei stopped her and said, "The Emperor is the true Dragon Son of Heaven. Who can defeat him? Did you run away hoping that the Prince of Xiangnan would capture you and use you to threaten the Emperor?"
After Shi Wei finished speaking seriously, the concubines in the harem were still very flustered, but after hearing what Shi Wei said, the look in their eyes when they looked at Chen Lulu suddenly became strange.
No wonder Concubine Chen was suddenly banished to the cold palace by the emperor. Maybe it was because of her adultery! Even if the emperor loved her, he would not keep her if she was charged with the crime of treason!
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chen Lulu said angrily, "I'm worried about the emperor!"
As soon as Chen Lulu finished speaking, the faces of the palace concubines changed again. This must be an affair. She must have a backer to dare to do this. She even dared to contradict the Imperial Concubine!
The concubines in the palace only felt that they had guessed the truth.
Chen Lulu was so angry that she wanted to rush out because she was worried that something might happen to Liu Zhao.
The concubines who had already suspected that Chen Lulu had problems, how could they allow her to go out and threaten the emperor? They immediately came out to stop her.
Chen Lulu was blocked by the concubines and eunuchs and had no choice but to take out the knife she had prepared to kill Shi Wei and wave it.
He stabbed several concubines in an instant, then raised his knife and rushed towards Shi Wei fiercely.
At this moment, Chen Lulu felt that she must take the opportunity to kill Gu Shiwei, otherwise there would be no chance later.
Now the concubines in the palace were even more certain that Chen Lulu must have been sent by the rebels!
He came to the banquet with a knife. He must have wanted to kill them and then capture the concubine to threaten the emperor!
The concubines thought so, but no one dared to stop her. After all, Chen Lulu had a knife in her hand, and Gu Shiwei had always been the imperial concubine, superior to them. They had disliked her for a long time, so it would be nice if she died at this opportunity.
Just when the knife was only a few dozen centimeters away from Shi Wei's heart, the palace concubines all thought Shi Wei was dead.
The next moment, it was Chen Lulu who fell down, so quickly that no one could see how Shi Wei made the move.
Chen Lulu covered her hand that was twisted off by Shi Wei and screamed in pain.
“Ahhhh!!”
"Why don't you just die, you bitch!" Chen Lulu struggled desperately under Shi Wei's feet.
But he couldn't break free from Shi Wei's control.
Shi Wei smiled coldly, and her phoenix eyes swept across the faces of the concubines beside her.
"You seem to be looking forward to my death?"
Just when Chen Lulu wanted to kill her, these concubines retreated so quickly that they almost gave Chen Lulu wings and let her fly away.
As soon as Shi Wei finished speaking, the concubines all shook their heads and tried to make excuses.
Shi Wei made a move to lift her leg, and the concubines were all frightened.
What would happen if Chen Lulu was released?
Although they wanted Gu Shiwei to die, they didn't want to get hurt accidentally.
The palace concubines all had different expressions, and they were all afraid that they would die here.
When these people no longer wanted to do anything tricky,
Shi Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry! Someone will come to rescue us soon."
After Shi Wei said this, the hearts of the palace concubines instantly calmed down.
Shi Wei ordered the palace gates to be locked tightly and sent people to guard them, not allowing anyone to leave.
Chen Lulu was the only one in the room who felt something was wrong and wanted to run away, but she would only be considered to be defecting to the enemy. She was stopped and could not leave.
