Chapter 395 Imperial Edict!
The atmosphere in the mourning hall was solemn and depressing.
Princess Jin's face was filled with anger and she was about to continue arguing when Wang Decai's voice rang out again.
"Empress Jin, this is a mourning hall. Please be restrained and respect the emperor."
Concubine Jin did not restrain herself, but raised her eyebrows and spoke more sarcastically, "How could I not know that this is a mourning hall? As soon as the emperor left, you were busy trying to please Concubine Zhao. You are such a powerful slave! But it's true, at your age, you might still want to seek a career in front of the prince!"
Wang Decai has been working in the deep palace for many years and remains calm in the face of accusations.
Seeing this, Jin Weige had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Bai Wutong sighed softly, his eyes full of disappointment, "I used to think that Concubine Jin was deeply in love with the emperor, but now it seems that I was wrong. As soon as the emperor left, she became like this. Eunuch Wang, don't mention Concubine Jin in the mourning hall in the future. If the emperor knew about this, he would be very sad."
At this time, Bai Wutong was still thinking about the emperor, which made Wang Decai very emotional.
Looking at Concubine Jin's performance, it is extremely disappointing.
Looking back, Wang Decai did have feelings for Concubine Jin.
He clearly remembered that the emperor happily welcomed Concubine Jin into the palace. The two of them were very affectionate and the palace was filled with their sweet atmosphere.
When Concubine Jin was pregnant, he was also full of expectations.
But things are unpredictable and the child was not saved.
Now that I think about it, maybe this is fate. If the child is born, with Concubine Jin's current temper, it might cause a big disaster!
Not long after Bai Wutong left, Wang Decai returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and began to report.
Zhang Chengyan leaned against the dragon throne with a gloomy expression.
After listening, he waved his hands tiredly, his eyes full of annoyance, "Stop talking, I don't want to hear about her anymore, she disappoints me so much!"
The feelings we once had completely disappeared at this moment!
It takes a long time for the ice to freeze three feet thick.
Jin Weige disappointed Zhang Chengyan time and time again.
Not to mention the emperor who has no heart to begin with, even if it were an ordinary person, that little bit of old affection would have been worn out long ago!
"I will be resurrected in two days. Have you arranged everything that follows?" Zhang Chengyan sat up straight, his eyes regaining some of the majesty of an emperor, and began to think about the next plan.
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged!"
This time the emperor pretended to die in order to destroy the emperor and then reinstate him, so a ritual is needed to coordinate.
There are only two days left, and all subsequent arrangements must be prepared and completed in advance to ensure that everything goes well.
Zhang Chengyan nodded slightly, his expression showing a bit of fatigue, "That's good, these two days... I want to be alone and quiet. From now on, there is no need to report to me about the trivial matters of the concubines unless it is important. You just need to secretly pay attention to their every move, and when I am resurrected in two days, I will summon them all to the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After receiving the order, Wang Decai bowed carefully and retreated.
Zhang Chengyan stood up and walked to the desk.
The candlelight flickered, and the light and shadow intertwined, reflecting his gloomy brows.
This test that he had carefully planned for a long time was finally coming to an end!
His eyes swept across the signs, and finally, he picked up the sign with Bai Wutong's name on it and placed it aside.
As for other brands, he just took a glance and had no more attachment to them.
Recalling everything that happened during this test, Zhang Chengyan felt mixed emotions.
Throughout the entire process, Bai Wutong was the only one who showed the utmost passion and sincerity.
She was sincere in her feelings for him and had no ambition to claim the throne.
In her heart, there is only attachment to herself and worry about the country and the people!
This is the master of the harem and the mother of the world that he needs!
And Jin Weige, who was once his favorite concubine, made him extremely disappointed in this test!
When Zhang Chengyan thought of Jin Weige's selfish and self-protective behavior, his brows unconsciously frowned and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He raised his hand and wrote an imperial edict.
Every word is so powerful that it can be seen through the paper!
After writing, he put the imperial edict away, then turned around and looked out the window quietly.
At some point, snowflakes started floating in the sky again.
"This year has been really bad, but it's good, because it made me see clearly many people and things..." Zhang Chengyan whispered to himself, "Just as the master said, destroy and then rebuild, discard these unbearable people and things, and leave only the essence! In this way, the future fortune of the Darong Kingdom will surely be like the rising sun, thriving and prospering!"
His eyes were deep, as if he had already seen the future prosperity of Darong Kingdom.
The night is as dark as ink and everything is quiet.
The night passed in a flash.
There is only one day left before Zhang Chengyan's resurrection.
The harem was like a pool of stagnant water, calm and peaceful without a single ripple.
Wang Decai stood quietly outside the Palace of Tranquil Longevity as he did in the past, but without his usual smile.
He would go to the mourning hall from time to time, look around, hoping to see the concubines coming to pay their respects.
But in the end, no one else came to visit except Bai Wutong.
Wang Decai couldn't help but sigh and unconsciously began to sympathize with Zhang Chengyan.
He has countless beauties in his harem, but only one person treats him sincerely!
…
Bai Wutong sat upright in the Tishun Hall, and the air around him seemed to have quieted down.
She had a vague feeling that this farce was quietly coming to an end and the day when the truth would be revealed was just around the corner, but she didn't know the exact time.
In order to avoid complications, she chose to wait quietly.
As the night deepened, the entire harem fell into a deep sleep.
Only the moonlight shone into the palace, casting a cool glow.
When the first ray of light at dawn pierced the darkness, a master dressed in Taoist robes and with an immortal look, stepped into the Yangxin Palace with a group of solemn-looking disciples.
For a moment, the hall was filled with curling incense and bursts of Buddhist chants.
After the ritual was successfully concluded, Wang Decai did not delay for a moment and quickly conveyed the instructions to the outside world!
Summon all concubines to the main hall immediately!
Only this time, the location was not the familiar Palace of Tranquil Longevity, but the Queen’s Fengyi Palace!
When the concubines received the order, they all looked confused and were whispering along the way.
"What is the emperor planning? Why did he suddenly ask us to go to Fengyi Palace?"
"I can't figure it out either. Are they going to choose a new queen? But hasn't the emperor passed away? Choosing a queen at this time is really confusing!"
"That's right. His Royal Highness is still young. No matter what, it is not appropriate to mention the election of a queen at this time..."
