Chapter 6: The Puppet Emperor
Bishui Pavilion is the closest palace to the cold palace, and the bricks and tiles are all faint water blue, which looks extremely deserted.
It is rumored that the first emperor of the Xuanwu Empire had a concubine who loved the color blue, so when she was favored, the emperor deliberately built this palace with water-blue bricks and tiles that would never fade in order to make her happy.
But then she fell out of favor for some reason, and the concubine was also executed, so it has always been very gloomy, and no one dares to set foot on it.
Naturally, this place has become a palace for those concubines who are not welcomed.
Today, however, the lifeless palace has become particularly lively......
Qing Ran counted the gifts sent by the concubines of the palace, the high-grade magic weapons, and the large pieces of spirit stone materials, all of which were very good things.
The most valuable thing is not the aqua blue top-grade treasure robe, which was sent by Concubine Shu, and someone passed the word and asked her not to be polite.
That hypocritical face really made people want to vomit when they saw it, put the things away, and Qing Ran asked Yao'er to lead the way to the bath.
Today at noon, it was the time to slip away, she wouldn't go to see the perverted emperor, she was not interested in a cold-faced uncle at all.
In this way, he buttoned a person he had never met as a perverted cold-faced uncle, and Qing Ran thought that he should bring a few storage bags with him when he left, so that he could carry everything he wanted.
β
In front of the main hall, behind the gauze curtain, on the dragon chair, there was a person wearing a dark embroidered gold dragon pattern dragon robe, the person's black hair was scattered, and he was playing with a pair of bracelets floating with streamers.
Beside him, there was a woman wearing a fire-colored phoenix robe, the woman had a good face, but her face was cold, with a domineering aura, her red lips pursed slightly, and her eyes seemed to be the coldest ice in winter, without temperature.
"The minister thinks that the harem cannot be without a queen for a day, and the matter of the queen is also requested to be decided by His Majesty and the Queen Mother this morning. β
A man in an ink-colored robe spoke in His Royal Highness, he looked middle-aged, and there was a heroic aura between his eyebrows, this person was Qing Ran's father, Mo Feiyun, the head of the Mo family.
At this time, he was bending over and asking the two men in the temple for instructions.
The emperor did not speak, but it was the woman in red who spoke.
What Aiqing said is very true, the mourning family has already planned for this matter, so it is not bothering Aiqing to worry. β
As soon as she spoke, she was as cold as ice, and although she was dressed in red, she didn't feel the slightest warmth.
This is the queen mother of the Xuanwu Empire, Twilight Red Rain.
She glanced at the emperor who was bowing his head and contemplating on the other side, hooked the corners of her lips rarely, and asked briskly,
"Your Majesty, why is he distracted, but he is tired?"
The person who was asked was stunned, raised his head suddenly, and glared at the queen mother with unkind eyes, and for a long time, he didn't say a word.
"If Your Majesty is tired, go back to the Heart Cultivation Hall to rest, the dragon body is important. β
She didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction, she was already surprised by the emperor's attitude, and even looked at his appearance of daring to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and there was some indescribable pleasure.
The Emperor stood up in silence, and said that he was tired, and then turned and left, without looking back.
Mo Feiyun was also silent when he looked at this scene.
Who would have thought that the Xuanwu Empire had changed, since the emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager began to interfere in the government without restrictions, and now it has reached the point of monopolizing power.
And the emperor has long become a puppet, and he has no real power in his hands.
"Okay, Aiqing, the mourning family knows what you want to say. But this matter still needs to be decided.
Is there any good candidate for Gu Aiqing?"
The man who was named shuddered, stepped forward, and bowed down respectfully and said,
"The affairs of the harem are all under the orders of the Queen Mother, and we dare not overstep the bounds. β
After finishing speaking, without forgetting to glance at Mo Feiyun's reaction, Gu Sheng, the head of the Gu family, showed a slightly mocking smile, and soon disappeared again......
β
Walking out of the hall quickly, and repelling all the guards on his side, the emperor ran all the way to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and as soon as he entered the hall, he immediately took off the crown on his head and fell heavily to the ground.
The shattered jade made a crisp sound that echoed throughout the room.
The angry face under the jade also became clear in the light.
It was a beautiful face that resembled a woman, with big watery eyes, which made people feel pity when they saw it, and the ruddy thin lips and small nose would have been mistaken for a woman if it weren't for the sword-like eyebrows.
Shi Tianhan gritted his teeth and swept all the teacups and porcelain on the table to the ground, and for a while, the broken porcelain pieces splashed all over the ground, and all the palace maids retreated one after another when they saw this, except for one person standing at the door and closing the door.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing. β
This person is Emperor Shi Tianhan's personal guard Su Zhuang, who has been by Shi Tianhan's side since he was twelve years old, and is the only confidant he has trusted over the years.
At this time, seeing that he was so angry, he couldn't help frowning. This kind of thing is not once or twice, but he can also understand that the Ninety-Five Supreme, who should be above ten thousand people, has actually been reduced to obeying a woman's orders in everything, and this fact is not something that can be accepted in a day or two.
"That woman is really crazy! If this continues, the entire Xuanwu Empire will be in her pocket, what a joke! The world that the ancestors fought down was actually occupied by an outsider!
It's not enough to lock me up in the Heart Nourishing Palace on weekdays, but I also want me to marry some queen, those women in the harem are all the same, and they are very appetizing!"
Those beautiful eyes were full of anger, and the rosy lips were bloodied with anger.
Su Zhuo sighed, didn't know whether he should tell him about it, thought for a moment, or should he tell him, so he thought about it for a while, and said with a key point,
"Your Majesty, even if you don't want to touch the concubines of the harem, you have to take into account the power of those big families, the Queen Mother said that you must go to the palace of Concubine Qin tonight, even if it is to sit. β
"She has a good calculation, I said that I won't see any of the women she found, let alone touch them, let her die of this heart!"
"But ......"
"No, go down, let me be alone, I don't need you. β
Waving his hand, he was a little impatient to catch up, and Shi Tianhan half leaned on the bed.
Su Pleat had no choice but to retreat.
Seeing Su Zhu leave, Shi Tianhan's face suddenly lost that anger, but brought a light smile.
The smile appeared on his beautiful face that resembled a woman's, and it looked like the attitude he had just shown, it was basically two people.
Who would have thought that the Emperor of the Xuanwu Empire, who has always been known for being iron-blooded and ruthless outside, would actually be a beautiful man with a feminine and beautiful appearance, and he could still show that kind of smile.
I saw that the emperor quickly took off his dragon robe, changed into a black robe that had been prepared a long time ago, and said to himself while changing back,
"It's so naΓ―ve, that old woman must not have imagined that the bastard Su Zhu secretly reported my whereabouts to her has already been discovered by me.
And let me go to see what Concubine Qin, what I think is beautiful, I want to see, the emperor is missing, what are you going to do. When the time comes, there will be a lot of uproar, and the other three countries don't know how they will feel, so you just wait to go back to your nest. β
He tied up his hair, put on a mask on his face that could not be swept by his divine sense, attached an invisibility charm, and jumped out of the window......
