Lin Zhan couldn't help but be surprised when he knew what the emperor had done. He didn't expect that Concubine Ying had such a great influence on the emperor.
As soon as Lin Zan returned to the palace, Liu Qiuchan called her to Kangfu Palace. She looked serious, as if facing a great enemy.
"That Princess Yingduo is simply a demon concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people. She has even caused the emperor to indulge in wine and women and neglect state affairs. Zhan'er, we can't wait any longer."
Even Liu Qiuchan knew that the current situation was too urgent and Concubine Ying had to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Lin Zan also nodded. Just as the two were about to discuss the plan, the head maid Dong Xiang hurried over and said respectfully, "Empress, something bad has happened. The concubines in the palace are kneeling outside the palace, begging the Empress to punish Concubine Ying and restore peace to the harem."
"What? Let's go and take a look." Liu Qiuchan was a little shocked. She quickly stood up and took Lin Zan out of the hall. Sure enough, she saw the concubines from various palaces kneeling there.
Even Concubine Qin, who had always been against Liu Qiuchan, had to swallow her pride and wanted Liu Qiuchan to use her power as queen to intimidate Concubine Ying.
After all, ever since Concubine Ying entered the palace, Concubine Qin had lost her status in the eyes of the emperor, which was a huge blow to her.
After all, since the Qin family's power weakened, they could only rely on Concubine Qin's status in the harem to barely prevent the Qin family from being squeezed out of the ranks of the nobles in Shangjing.
If even Concubine Qin lost favor, the Qin family would definitely not have a good ending. Therefore, Concubine Qin is more anxious than anyone else now and wants to drive Concubine Ying out of the palace.
"We ask Her Majesty to restore the laws and order in the harem and bring peace back to the harem." All the concubines said in unison.
Liu Qiuchan walked forward, looked at the concubines below, and said loudly, "Sisters, please stand up. I will never sit idly by."
With her words, the concubines in the palaces felt much more at ease, while Liu Qiuchan looked seriously in the direction of Guantian Palace with a gloomy face.
The emperor indulges in pleasure every day, all officials are grieving, and the harem is restless, but the emperor doesn't care about these. He and Concubine Ying are making love in the tent at this moment, not knowing whether it is day or night.
Soon, two days later, the emperor's body could no longer hold on. As usual, Concubine Ying called the director of the Imperial Hospital to prescribe a prescription to nourish the emperor.
The court director saw that the emperor's face looked uglier than the previous two days, which was obviously due to kidney yang deficiency, so he tried to persuade the emperor, "Your Majesty, the emperor's health should be the most important thing."
"I know my body. Bring me the medicine I need." The emperor said impatiently, stretched out his hand, and asked Yuanzheng for kidney-tonifying medicine.
Because only after taking Yuan Zheng's medicine can the emperor regain his virility and laugh and play with the little devil Yingfei every day.
Seeing that the emperor was so stubborn, the director had no choice but to grit his teeth, handed a bottle of medicine to the emperor, and warned him, "Only take one pill once a day, never take more."
The emperor waved his hands impatiently and asked the court official to leave. At this moment, a little palace maid came hurriedly and said that the queen and the concubines were waiting outside for an audience.
Knowing that all the important concubines in the harem had come, Concubine Ying felt a little strange, but she understood it, and said to the emperor with a smile and a coquettish look. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Queen has brought all the concubines here to call for punishment."
"It's okay. I'm here to protect you. So what if it's the Queen?" It was obvious that the Emperor had become obsessed with Concubine Ying.
Soon, Liu Qiuchan came in with the concubines from various palaces. When they saw the scene in the hall, they were shocked and trembling with anger.
At this moment, both the emperor and Concubine Ying were in dishevel, and there was even a lingering smell of lost lust in the palace, making everyone's faces look very ugly.
"Your Majesty, your servant greets you. The plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are in bloom today. They are very beautiful. Concubine Ying, why don't you come with me for a walk in the Imperial Garden?" Liu Qiuchan stood there and said calmly.
After hearing this, Concubine Ying felt a little strange. She knew that Liu Qiuchan, together with other concubines in the harem, had strongly opposed the emperor's appointment of her as a concubine. So why was she so kind as to invite her to appreciate the plum blossoms today?
However, when the emperor heard that the plum blossoms in the imperial garden had bloomed, his eyes lit up and he said with nostalgia, "I remember that Queen Lin loved plum blossoms the most, and I planted those plum blossoms for her."
"That's right." Liu Qiuchan said quickly.
The emperor sighed with emotion, then nodded and agreed to let Liu Qiuchan take Concubine Ying to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms.
Since the emperor had already spoken, Concubine Ying naturally had no way to refuse. She picked up the porcelain bottle left by the court chief, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into the emperor's mouth.
And she said softly in the emperor's ear in front of everyone with a charming face, "Your Majesty, you must wait for me to come back. When you are strong again, I will come back."
These few words made the emperor's breathing quicken. In front of many concubines, he grabbed Concubine Ying's waist fiercely, which made Liu Qiuchan's face turn pale.
After the two of them finished flirting, Liu Qiuchan finally successfully took Concubine Ying away from Guantian Palace.
Along the way, the concubines in the palace naturally glared at Concubine Ying, and their attitudes were not very good. However, because of Concubine Ying's status in the emperor's mind, they did not dare to take action immediately.
On the other side, after Concubine Ying left, Yuanzheng came back and came into the palace. Looking at the emperor who was resting with his eyes closed, he walked over quickly.
Perhaps he heard the footsteps, the emperor opened his eyes and looked at the director. "Why did you come back again?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to say. Your Majesty's body is like dead branches and rotten wood. You can't let it go on like this. Moreover, I have discovered that there is an addictive drug in your body."
"I wonder if the emperor has taken any other medicine in addition to the one I prescribed in the past few days." The director said hurriedly.
These words made the emperor's eyebrows narrow slightly, and his blue eyes trembled because of his words. "You mean to say that I am poisoned."
"Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, this situation is more dangerous than poisoning. Please tell me the truth." The director had already knelt down and knocked his head heavily on the ground.
The emperor finally became formal in response to his actions. He slowly sat up straight and after hesitating for a while, he took out the Black Jade Fantasy Dream Cream that Concubine Ying had presented as a tribute.
"It is this thing. I have been taking it these few days. Every time I take it, I feel refreshed and wonderful. I feel like I have returned to my youth." The emperor said obsessedly.
