The eldest princess couldn't help but frown. Normally, she shouldn't interfere in the emperor's harem affairs, but every time she encountered this Concubine Yu causing trouble, the emperor was always worried and nervous, his mind was in a state of confusion, as if he lost his rationality as soon as he heard this person.
This is very abnormal.
"Imperial sister, I am still busy and will not accompany you. Let Lao An take you out of the palace."
The emperor left in a hurry to see his beloved Consort Yu.
The eldest princess took a sip of tea and said, "No hurry, my sister still has something to say, please go out and wait."
The eunuch who came to call for help hesitated, "Well, the Queen is still waiting for the Emperor. Can the Princess wait until tomorrow?"
The eldest princess laughed in anger, "Your Majesty, since when did I, the imperial sister, have to give way to a mere Zhaoyi?
Well, I, the emperor's sister, am of no use. It would be better if a beautiful young girl could please the emperor, and then the emperor can leave."
Emperor Xuande also felt that this servant had gone too far. "How dare you! Come, drag him away and give him fifty lashes."
The eunuch knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. This servant is also for the sake of the Concubine Zhaoyi. This servant acknowledges his guilt."
The eldest princess said, "You are also the emperor's servant, not Yu Zhaoyi's. You are so arrogant and look down on everyone. Do you dare to be so presumptuous in front of the queen?"
Emperor Xuande waved his hand and said, "Give him a beating with a stick and banish him to the Xinzheku, and do not employ him."
Eunuch An sent someone to make arrangements, feeling angry in his heart that this Yu Zhaoyi relied on the emperor's favor and didn't even take him seriously. He should have dealt with her long ago.
Emperor Xuande was still thinking about Yu Zhaoyi and felt a little uneasy, but he didn't want to disappoint the princess, so he patiently stayed with her.
The eldest princess saw through it and felt that this concubine had an even bigger problem. She said, "Your Majesty, you have always been able to control yourself when it comes to women, but you have lost your mind several times because of this woman.
Originally, the imperial sister shouldn't have been involved, but since mother is not around, the imperial sister can't just watch you being abnormal and leave it alone.
This time, the remnants of the Southern Frontier used countless witchcraft techniques to exact revenge. The Second Master of the Zhao family was nearly poisoned by a love poison. Love poison is not a good thing. Once you are poisoned by it, your life and death are tied to a woman. The world will fall into the hands of a woman. Your Majesty, it is best to be careful."
"Yu Zhaoyi is not that kind of person. My sister is worrying too much."
"Really? If Concubine Yu contradicted my sister and she beat her to death, would the Emperor forgive her?"
"You dare? I won't let you go. Whoever dares to harm Yu Zhaoyi will be killed along with his entire clan."
The eldest princess' heart sank, and a flash of blood appeared in the emperor's eyes. This was very abnormal.
Eunuch An was also shocked. The emperor had never been so angry with the eldest princess. Just a hypothesis made the emperor lose his composure. Could it really be that love Gu?
The eldest princess stood up and said, "The emperor wants to execute nine clans, including you. You should calm down and think carefully."
Emperor Xuande also realized that his anger was inexplicable and felt guilty: "Imperial sister, this is not what I meant."
"Imperial sister is leaving."
The eldest princess was filled with worry, fearing that the emperor had also been infected.
Emperor Xuande finally went to visit Yu Zhaoyi first and stayed in her palace that night.
At the next morning court session, Emperor Xuande had drooping eye bags, looked listless, and yawned, looking obviously unwell.
The court officials looked at each other, lowered their heads tacitly, and pretended not to see anything.
Zhao Biao was worried about his wife and was absent-minded. He went home early after court to accompany his wife.
When Censor Niu saw that the elders were silent, he had no choice but to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health. Which empress did you stay with last night? You are so unruly. Please reflect on yourself."
Emperor Xuande quickly sat up straight and said, "I am fine. I was just a little late in reviewing the memorials last night. It's not the fault of the harem."
Niu Yushi didn't believe it, "Really? Your Majesty, don't lie to me. After all, the attendants have all the records of where the emperor rests."
Emperor Xuande's face stiffened, and he said unhappily, "Old Ox, do you have to keep staring at me? There are so many things going on in this world, and you don't care about them. You are a censor who has neglected your duties. Don't always think of using me to complete your tasks."
The censors have the task of impeaching people every month, and they are not here to do it for free. Censor Niu said frankly: "I did not do that. Your Majesty, please do not wrongly accuse me.
I have always exceeded my targets, so there is no need to use the Emperor to make up the numbers."
Emperor Xuande: “…”
These censors were the most annoying. He, the emperor, was just making up the numbers. "Is there anything else? I understand."
Censor Niu continued, "I have something else to report. I want to impeach the Minister of War, Zhao Biao, for keeping a monster in his mansion, which poses an immense threat. For the safety of the capital, I implore the Imperial Observatory to take action and eliminate the monster."
Zhao Biao was shocked: "Old Niu, that is my wife, not a demon. It was Lord Song who personally exorcised the evil spirit for my wife. Don't stare at my wife."
Niu Yushi: "Your wife passed away a long time ago. It's been three years since the funeral. Now she suddenly comes back to life. Is this normal?"
Zhao Biao: "Whether it is normal or not needs to be investigated by the Imperial Observatory. This matter has nothing to do with the court. This is my family affair.
If you have some free time, why not help me find my daughter? She's missing and there's no clue yet. If you insist on taking advantage of her misfortune, don't blame me for disregarding the feelings of my colleagues."
Censor Niu was known for his stubborn indifference. "I'm not trying to take advantage of someone's misfortune. This is for the safety of the capital. Everyone knows that the Imperial Observatory and your little daughter are on the same side. The Imperial Observatory will definitely protect your Zhao family."
Zhao Biao narrowed his eyes. "That's my daughter's ability. You don't even trust the Imperial Observatory. What do you want? Don't be so hypocritical. You're definitely not just doing this for my wife. Just say what you want to say. I hate hypocritical old things like you the most."
"You may curse as you please. Today, I recommend a talented individual. The Imperial Observatory's dominance is not a long-term solution. We must have checks and balances. Your Majesty, please approve."
"Which capable person?"
"It was Master Xuan Yue. Coincidentally, during these troubled times, Master Xuan Yue came out in person to eliminate the evil and bring peace back to the world."
The court officials had all heard of the name of Xuan Yue Zhenren, who was indeed a hermit.
Emperor Xuande thought for a moment, "Niu Yushi, what do you want to do by recommending Xuan Yue Zhenren? You can't ask me to appoint him as the Imperial Master, right?
The Imperial Observatory has always been law-abiding and diligent, never taking credit for anything and becoming arrogant. I don't think it needs checks and balances."
"That was in the past, but now the Imperial Observatory has a close relationship with the court officials, so we have to be on guard. If the Zhao family and the Imperial Observatory join forces and endanger the world, the emperor has to be on guard."
Zhao Biao was so angry that he laughed, "Lao Niu, what's wrong with you? You're holding me captive? And you're saying my family is colluding with the Imperial Observatory? Why don't you tell me I'm going to rebel?"
Your mouth is full of shit early in the morning, and you can't have a hot meal in the morning. Do you eat the shit right after you poop?"
Censor Niu was filled with shame and anger after being scolded by him: "You are so vulgar. How can you be so presumptuous in the court? If you have something to say, just speak your mind. It's wrong to scold others. Are you feeling guilty?"
