Lin Zan looked at everything in front of her in shock. She never expected that Liu Qiuchan would have such courage to disobey the order and not allow Princess Yingduo to enter the harem.
This time, even Concubine Qin did not go against the Queen. She knelt behind Liu Qiuchan and looked firmly in the direction of the imperial study.
After seeing this scene, the eunuch did not dare to stay here for long. He hurried back to the imperial study and informed the emperor that Queen Liu Qiuchan led the concubines in the harem to disobey the emperor's order.
"What? She dares to stop me from appointing a concubine. Is she really sure that I dare not depose her from the position of queen?" The emperor was so angry that he swept all the memorials on the table to the ground.
There is no need to read those memorials, as they are all memorials opposing the Emperor's decision to make Princess Yingduo his consort.
Even the emperor's son knelt outside the palace and refused to allow him to make Princess Yingduo his consort.
The emperor was so furious that he stood up and went to the queen's Kangfu Palace. He saw Liu Qiuchan, dressed in plain clothes, kneeling in the yard with the imperial edict in her hand, but there was no trace of heartache on her face.
When Liu Qiuchan saw the emperor, she shouted, "I beg the emperor to withdraw his order."
"I beg the emperor to withdraw his order."
The concubines kneeling behind him also shouted loudly, asking the emperor to withdraw his imperial edict.
Lin Zan originally wanted to kneel down, but Liu Qiuchan didn't want to implicate Lin Zan because of this matter. After all, Lin Zan was not a member of the harem.
So before the emperor came, Liu Qiuchan ordered someone to send Lin Zhan back to Hanfang Pavilion.
At this moment, Lin Zan was anxiously waiting for news in Hanfang Pavilion, until the emperor had already brought his people to the queen's palace.
The emperor was furious when he saw the scene in front of him. He looked at Liu Qiuchan fiercely like a poisoned knife. "You are really my good queen."
"Your Majesty, please put the world first." Liu Qiuchan knocked his head heavily to the ground to show his determination.
The emperor walked up to her and spoke in a gloomy tone. "Remember, this world belongs to me. You must put me first in everything. You must listen to what I say. I will make whoever I want my concubine to be, and you must not resist."
"Someone, come and get the Phoenix Seal." The emperor directly took the imperial edict from Liu Qiuchan's hand.
The eunuch beside the emperor had already entered the queen's bedroom and brought the phoenix seal that symbolized the mother of a country.
Then, in front of the concubines and Liu Qiuchan, the emperor placed the phoenix seal heavily on the imperial edict.
At this moment, Liu Qiuchan's eyes were filled with deep despair, and the emperor threw the imperial edict with the phoenix seal in front of her and left with his men.
"Empress." After the emperor left, Liu Qiuchan fainted, and the palace maid beside her hurried forward.
After learning that the emperor insisted on affixing the phoenix seal, Liu Qiuchan fainted and Lin Zan hurried to Kangfu Palace.
Under Lin Zhan's golden needle technique, Liu Qiuchan woke up quickly, but her face was full of despair. "Sometimes I really don't know what I am holding on to. Obviously, that man is no longer the one I loved in the beginning."
"Sister, you must take care of yourself, your blessings are yet to come." Lin Zhan's eyes were a little hazy, but she controlled herself and did not let her tears flow.
Liu Qiuchan slowly raised her hand and stroked Lin Zhan's cheek, admonishing her. "Remember what my sister said, never enter the harem. If there is a next life, I would rather be the wife of a poor farmer than the queen of the royal family."
"Sister, I remember it." Lin Zan said seriously and nodded slowly.
Liu Qiuchan's mind was greatly shocked and she soon fell asleep under the effect of the drug.
Lin Zhan learned everything that had happened from the chief palace maid Dong Xiang, and that Concubine Ying had actually moved into Guantian Palace. That was Lin Zhan's only thought for her deceased sister.
Lin Zhan couldn't help feeling sad when she thought that the only place where she could remember her sister would be gone, but she could do nothing about it.
After all, the emperor no longer cared about the queen's dignity, so how could he possibly pity her, a helpless orphan?
For the next period of time, the emperor would stay in Guantian Palace every day, and have fun with Concubine Ying every night. There were even several times when he didn't even attend the morning court.
All the officials in the court said that Concubine Ying was a seductress who brought disaster to the country, and asked the emperor not to indulge in women and to focus on state affairs.
However, the emperor did not even look at these memorials and handed them all over to Jun Beiqi to handle.
Jun Beiqi looked at the memorials with a frown but he could do nothing about it because even he couldn't see the emperor now.
The dragon throne was empty during today's morning court session. All the officials looked at each other, with the same ugly expression on their faces.
The chief eunuch beside the emperor came up and said that today's morning court was cancelled. The anger that had been accumulated by the officials for many days finally erupted.
"This is a sign of the country's demise. How can the emperor neglect state affairs and indulge in women?"
"Master Li, you must be careful with your words, or you will lose your head."
"Even if I sacrifice my life today, I will make the emperor realize his mistake and return to the right path. Don't harm yourself and the country."
The man called Lord Li is a veteran of two dynasties and holds an extremely high status in the court.
Everyone was talking about it, but no one dared to loudly scold the emperor like Lord Li for being obsessed with women and ruining the country.
Soon all the officials' eyes fell on the crown prince. After all, now that the emperor has handed over the post of regent to the crown prince, the crown prince has the obligation to remind the emperor to pay attention to state affairs.
"Don't worry, my lords. I will go and ask to see the emperor right away." Jun Beiqi said with a serious look, and then went to Guantian Palace to ask to see the emperor.
But unexpectedly, the emperor did not see her, but saw Concubine Ying.
The originally plain and elegant Guantian Palace was decorated by Concubine Ying into a magnificent palace. As soon as Jun Beiqi walked in, a strong and strange fragrance hit his nose, making him frown.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is a rare guest. How come he has time to come to my place?" Concubine Ying was wearing a layer of gauze, her round shoulders were faintly visible, and her enchanting face seemed to have added endless charm after being exposed.
When Jun Beiqi saw that Concubine Ying was disheveled, he looked away and said in a deep voice, "I have come to see the emperor."
"Your Majesty, he is still sleeping. He has not woken up yet. After all, he and I had a great time together last night. He must be very tired. How about you wait here for a while?"
Concubine Ying held a glass of wine in her hand, biting her lips lightly, and walked towards Jun Beiqi.
But Jun Beiqi was disgusted by her naughty look and turned his head away, but Ying Fei was relentless.
Concubine Ying slowly drank the wine in her mouth, then her red lips relaxed and the wine glass fell to the ground, with wine stains still hanging on the edges of her red lips.
