Qi Jingxuan knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Come to think of it, to be assassinated in the palace—what a heinous act!
Upon waking up early in the morning, Qi Jingxuan dismissed everyone around him, leaving only the Fu Lu private key behind.
We talked for a while, and I learned about some of her past experiences.
Finally, the Emperor stared at her and said, "I hereby bestow upon you the title of Consort Shurong, to spend two or three months alone in this palace. Do you have any complaints?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Lu immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, I dare not have any complaints. Your Majesty has always treated our Fu Lu family extremely well. There are many concubines in the palace, but I am simply unable to attract Your Majesty. How could I dare to harbor any resentment? Your Majesty, what's wrong? Why did you bring up these things?"
Qi Jingxuan frowned as he looked at the strong reaction from Fu Lu Private Key and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Lu Si Yue realized that she had lost her composure and quickly composed herself. "No, it's nothing. I just thank Your Majesty for your concern."
“Your father, General Fulu, was seriously injured for me and is still in critical condition. The Imperial Guard is in disarray, and Xu Yunchuan is too young to command them. Although he has been through many battles, generals and soldiers are ultimately different. There are very few capable people in the palace. Your brother is stationed outside the palace year-round, and you are all alone in the palace. I feel I have truly failed you.”
Fu Lu Si Yue is a woman who came from the military and is not very emotional.
Now, hearing the Emperor say these things here, I feel that he is the one who is truly a woman.
Despite saying all that, Qi Jingxuan didn't praise her at all; instead, he kept mentioning the power and influence of her family.
Yes! Given the current situation in the court, isn't the Emperor's many concubines simply a way to balance the power among the ministers?
Besides, he himself came from General Fulu's mansion, so it was perfectly normal for him to be brought up in conversation.
"Your Majesty understands. You need not worry. I will write a letter to my father to tell him that I am highly favored in the palace and to ask him to serve Your Majesty diligently."
Since ancient times, serving a ruler has been like serving a tiger.
How could Fu Lu's private key not understand?
She gathered her thoughts briefly and then returned to normal.
"Your Majesty's concerns must have a reason, and I will certainly do my utmost to support you."
The Emperor had already made up his mind; he was just looking for someone to agree with him. His mind was made up, and no one's opposition could change it.
Fu Lu Si Yue understood one thing: the Emperor ultimately only cared about his own interests. He wasn't unaware that his brother was the only son in the Fu Lu family, but he simply didn't care.
He only wanted to conquer the southern border as soon as possible to avenge the assassination attempt.
Qi Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he did not object, and said, "I will issue an order immediately. General Fulu should stay at home and recuperate. Your brother will be in charge of the Qi family army. Start planning the battle as soon as possible and crush the southern border for me!"
Fu Lu lowered his head and whispered, "Okay!"
"It would be best if you went to discuss this matter in person. After all, General Fulu is still recovering from his serious injuries, and I have sent his son to the battlefield. Even if it is an imperial edict, it might still be criticized as heartless. In a few days, I will personally accompany you out of the palace to visit your father. What do you think?"
What does she think? How could she possibly think it's bad?
How could a powerless palace woman like her say no? The Emperor had already planned all of this; she was merely a pawn to enhance his reputation.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fu Lusi suppressed his discomfort and agreed.
As he stepped out, Fu Lu took a deep breath, but still managed a smile.
Because the Emperor has already spread the word that he will be giving Yongshou Palace exclusive favor for half a month, what an honor this is!
Chengen Palace.
"Your Highness Consort Mu! The Emperor says he will be staying at Yongshou Palace for a month!"
Ruan and Mu heard the news that Zi Ling had come to report.
He doesn't even visit his own child, he tries to frame his own mother, and he wants to take away her life. So she has no one to blame but herself.
"Ziling, are you close to Xiao Shunzi from the Qianqing Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling immediately knelt down, "No, Your Majesty, no!"
"Then how come I saw Xiao Shunzi bring you something this morning? And this isn't the first time I've seen it."
Zi Ling was afraid that Consort Mu would misunderstand, so she quickly crawled over on her knees.
"Your Majesty, it's not Xiao Shunzi, it's Xu Yunchuan, the commander of the Imperial Guards. Do you remember how many times he helped us when we were in the manor?"
Xu Yunchuan?
Would he choose to betray Qi Jingxuan? This sudden news was unacceptable to Ruan Yumu. She originally thought that she could just have Xiao Shunzi poison Qi Jingxuan, but she did not expect that the person who was on good terms with Zi Ling was Xu Yunchuan, the commander of the Imperial Guard.
If he were to make a move, given his years of promotion and mutual support, and my understanding of him, anyone would harm the Emperor, except for Xu Yunchuan, who would definitely be unable to do so.
After all, many years ago, when he was besieged by the enemy during the Battle of Hexi, it was Xu Yunchuan who rode a warhorse down the cliff with a suicide squad to rescue him.
Ruan and Mu sat on Qingfeng Terrace, gazing into the distance towards Yongshou Palace.
She doesn't know how she feels right now.
Does Qi Jingxuan love or hate him?
I felt cold in my heart and cold in my body.
"Consort Mu, please come down. It's windy up here. You must take care of yourself! The Emperor isn't coming, and you still have two children!"
The palace maids below were offering advice.
After suffering a major blow, Qiao Siyu ignored the emperor's orders and went straight to Chengen Palace.
