Chapter 343: Female Dominance 9
It was already summer when the news of the treacherous minister's death reached the palace.
When Concubine Shu heard the news, she accidentally knocked over the cup in her hand.
That day, she bribed that man with all his property to let him send her to the palace and become the high and mighty imperial concubine.
Later, he even took advantage of that man's influence on His Majesty to get many seemingly favored rewards.
Now that man is dead...
Corruption and bribery?
When he heard this, he almost sneered.
Doesn't he know what His Majesty looks like? In her eyes, corruption is not worth mentioning.
The only reason for that man's death is that he was not favored.
Because he was not favored, he didn't care about her life or death.
Or...
He clenched his teeth tightly, and a worse premonition arose in his heart.
It was Concubine Su who instigated His Majesty to kill that man.
After he killed that man, would he be the next one to deal with?
Concubine Shu looked around the seemingly elegant but actually expensive palace and slowly clenched her fists.
He would not let anyone affect his wealthy life. If Concubine Su wanted to...
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the man's eyes, then let him die!
But before that, he had to see what His Majesty was thinking.
If there was any possibility, he would not take the risk of being killed by His Majesty to do anything.
He pressed his fingertips tightly on the table and said in a cold voice: "Where is that waste?"
He was asked to seduce His Majesty, but he was silent after just one time and even stayed in the palace.
"Your Highness, he has closed the palace and said he will not see anyone." The eunuch's eyes also flashed with helplessness: "The people we sent were all driven out by him."
The round-faced boy had lost so much face that time, how dare he go to His Majesty and humiliate himself?
As long as he thought of His Majesty handing the flowers he picked personally to that person, he felt ashamed and angry, and no longer had the heart to compete for favor.
"What a waste!" Concubine Shu snorted coldly and ordered lightly: "Prepare some cakes, I will go to see His Majesty today."
He carefully tied his hair in front of his bronze mirror and changed into His Majesty's favorite hair crown and clothes.
When he arrived, it was afternoon.
Gu Li had just slept for less than an hour when he was called up by his virtuous Concubine Su to review memorials.
When the eunuch brought the voice of Concubine Shu asking for an audience, Gu Li subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at Su Qing.
Su Qing's face, which looked like a fairy, did not waver at all, as if she did not hear what he said.
But Gu Li looked at her for a long time, and he had no choice but to raise his head: "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me?"
Gu Li blinked and said with some difficulty: "If I say that I did not ask him to come, would you believe it?"
Su Qing said indifferently: "If you believe it, why shouldn't I believe it?"
He took the memorial from Gu Li's hand and said indifferently: "Since Concubine Shu is here, Your Majesty should go and see her. It doesn't matter if you don't approve this memorial."
Presumably, that person would bring many interesting things to Gu Li to make her happy, instead of making the king disgusted like himself.
Su Qing thought he had concealed his emotions well, but Gu Li unexpectedly touched his cold fingertips. He
looked up and saw that his eyes, which were usually filled with the beauty of mountains and rivers, were now filled with rain.
He didn't say a word of grievance, but Gu Li felt distressed.
"What do you want to see?" Gu Li took the memorial back and said seriously, "I still have to review the memorials. How can I have so much time to see him?"
After a pause, he complained, "Shu Fei is also ignorant. Why bother me at this time?"
Seeing His Majesty's confused appearance, Su Qing twitched the corners of her lips and said lightly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this for me. I am not unhappy..."
He said coldly, "There are so many people in the harem, but I only have one heart. I don't have time to be unhappy for so many people."
Sooner or later, someone will be like the flower sender, who will send everything His Majesty wants to her.
Even if he can watch for a while, he can't watch for a lifetime.
Instead of this, it is better to guard your heart from the beginning.
If you don't have extravagant expectations, you won't feel heartache.
Gu Li strangely smelled a hint of bitterness from the green mountains and clear waters. She wanted to tease Su Qing and make him admit that he was jealous.
However, thinking of the cold fingertips just now, she couldn't bear it.
She hooked her fingertips painted with red nail polish and said to Su Qing opposite: "Come over here?"
Su Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said lightly: "I still have many memorials to review. Your Majesty, please say so."
Gu Li glanced at the eunuch who was still waiting on the side, waved her hand to let her go out: "No, no, I won't see anyone, let him go back!"
After that, she gave in and squeezed towards Su Qing.
"Madam Su," she hooked his hair, with a somewhat embarrassed smile in her voice.
"I have a secret to tell you, you can't tell anyone." After saying that, she added: "Otherwise it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Su Qing looked up at the emperor's rare serious look, and nodded.
Gu Li looked at the sadness deep in his beautiful eyes, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and whispered something in his ear. As
soon as the voice fell, she saw the little fairy was stunned.
He stared at her in a daze, and after a long time he murmured: "Your Majesty..."
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Li was so angry that he covered his mouth: "Don't say it, I will chop off your head if you say it!"
The words of beheading coming from the mouth of the always violent emperor should be terrifying.
But Su Qing didn't know why, but she felt that it was a bit absurd and ridiculous.
The man leaned over to his ear and said nervously, "I'm telling you the truth. I was not good enough before. I had never touched any concubine."
"Empress Su, you are taking advantage of me!"
Su Qing tried to hold back, but he couldn't help but smile.
"Your Majesty." He pursed his lips and cleared his throat: "How can you..."
Why did you say this to him?
Although it was dangerous to know the secret history of the king, Su Qing couldn't help but feel a little happy.
His Majesty's beauty was exclusive to him, and that person was his from beginning to end.
He had been told countless times since he was a child that it was normal for a woman to have three husbands and four servants, and that men should not be jealous, let alone resentful.
Su Qing felt that he should understand this and be able to control the emotions in his heart.
But when his Majesty said in his ear: I only have you, he couldn't help but feel a flash of genuine joy.
Sometimes, knowing something is one thing, and being able to do it is another.
Su Qing had to admit that he had always been more thoughtful than others.
Now, his majesty had satisfied his thoughts very well.
"Su Qing, you are out of control!" Facing this smile, Gu Li was furious.
