BXBX NOVEL 169 Chapter 169
In the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Cheng'an was lying on the bed, completely naked. Eight foreign beauties were sitting around him, also wearing only underwear, their Jade-like hands wandering all over his body.
He had experienced the ultimate bliss of life in the past two days, and he was a little reluctant to part.
"It's time for Your Majesty to attend morning court." The singer of the Western regions brought the wine to Cheng'an's mouth.
"Tell Eunuch Wang that I have been ill recently and will not be going to court this morning." How could Cheng'an still be willing to go to court? He hadn't enjoyed it enough.
This group of foreign beauties indeed had a lot of tricks up their sleeves, and they were quite unrestrained.
He had experienced all the happiness that he had never experienced before.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten about the clean-up plan? Grand Tutor Liu has been making a lot of noise to see you these days, saying that all the knowledge Your Majesty read has been fed to the dogs." When the Western region singer heard that Cheng'an wasn't even willing to attend morning court, the smile on her lips grew even wider.
There were still many important officials in the Imperial court that needed to be dealt with. When the time came, she could replace them and become the new Empress of the Zhou Dynasty.
She didn't need to listen to the orders of those people.
Once she became the Empress of the Zhou Dynasty, no one would be able to threaten her.
Everyone wanted to live for their own benefit, and this singer from the Western regions was no exception. She did not want to be controlled by others forever and become a tool.
"Did my Royal Sister come?" Cheng'an suddenly felt a headache. Grand Tutor Liu was his master, and he could not deceive his master and destroy his ancestors. That would incur the condemnation of all the scholars in the world.
Two days ago, Princess Changning came over and scolded him.
The two people that Cheng'an was most afraid of were Grand Tutor Liu and Princess Changning.
"You're the supreme Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, the master of the world. How could that Grand Tutor Liu scold you? All of us sisters felt heartbroken." The singers of the Western regions tried to get rid of all the obstacles by using pillow talk.
Cheng'an felt a little light-headed from the flattery. He pulled a beauty beside him into his arms and began to grope her.
"Since Your Majesty is unwilling to touch Grand Tutor Liu, what about the Imperial Consort? Just because she's an Imperial Consort, she's yelling at me and even saying that... " The Western singer immediately comes up with another plan in case her first plan doesn't work.
"What did Consort Qin say?" Cheng'an asked with a frown.
"The Imperial Consort said that she would send me and my sisters out of the palace so that we would never see His Majesty again." After saying that, the singer of the Western regions lay in Cheng'an's arms and began to cry loudly.
The other eight beauties also shed tears of grievance.
"She dares! This Emperor will immediately order her to be thrown into the Cold Palace and have her keep Fang Liuqing company!" Cheng'an immediately sat up. These beauties were his precious treasures. If anyone dared to send them out of the palace, he would fight them to the death.
He didn't even bother to check the truth.
It was because Noble Consort Qin wasn't as important as the beauty beside her.
He didn't even want to see her.
......
"What, you're saying that Noble Consort Qin has also been thrown into the Cold Palace?" Princess Changning listened to the report of her personal palace maid and her anger instantly surged.
"Noble Consort Qin has just been sent in. This servant immediately came to report to Her Highness." The personal maid said in a whisper.
"Huft, forget it. Even Qing'er has gone in. It's good to let Sister Qin go in and calm down for a while." Recently, Princess Changning had been secretly investigating the identity of this group of foreign beauties.
However, the other party was very cautious and did not give themself away.
The information sent back from the outside showed that their identities were very clean, and all of them had been investigated.
This was what made her most suspicious.
He Chuan had told her many stories about murder cases.
The less suspicious something is, the more suspicious it is. If we can clear the fog, we can see the answer we want.
She had always kept these words in mind.
What kind of storm could a few foreign beauties cause? what she wanted to find out was whether there was anyone else behind the scenes.
Who was it that had the guts to lay a hand on the Great Zhou Emperor!
"Your Highness, it's best for you to go and see Noble Consort Qin. Noble Consort Qin is in the Cold Palace, struggling to live. If someone with ill intentions uses this opportunity..." The palace maid didn't continue.
However, the meaning was obvious. If someone killed Noble Consort Qin and caused her to fake her death, wouldn't that be exactly what some people wanted?
"So troublesome! I'll go and take a look. You go and contact the fired officials in Cheng'an's side." The Eldest Princess stood up and walked towards the door.
...
The Cold Palace.
They walked on a stone road covered with moss, crossed a cluster of crooked fences, and the windows were embedded in the ancient wall made of blue bricks.
The window paper had long disappeared, leaving only the horizontal and vertical window panes, which were tied with long and short red ropes, helplessly swaying in the wind, as if someone was complaining, but also like a faint sorrow that could not be blown away.
Accompanying a sovereign was like accompanying a Tiger.
The Emperor had a harem of 3000 beauties, and if things didn't go his way, it was easy to be thrown into the Cold Palace.
However, Cheng'an was probably the first Emperor to banish the Empress and the Noble Concubines into the Cold Palace.
"All of you, get lost. I'm going to find His Majesty personally." Noble Consort Qin threw all kinds of porcelain at the eunuchs and palace maids.
As the Qin family's youngest daughter, she had been pampered by everyone since she was young.
The Qin family had been a family of generals for generations.
The commander of the Imperial Guards was her brother.
"Younger Sister, why are you doing this? This will only make His Majesty more disgusted." Even though Fang Liuqing had entered the Cold Palace, she was still the Empress, so her movements were not affected.
In fact, the Cold Palace was not as miserable as she thought. However, if she was assigned to another palace, the Emperor would not step into the concubine's room anymore. Then, he would lower the treatment and title of the concubine. This was the meaning of being banished to the Cold Palace!
Other than the drop in his accommodation and title, there was not much difference.
"Elder Sister Qing, His Majesty has already become like that, and you're still speaking for him? I'm going to kill those vixens." In the palace, only Fang Liuqing and Princess Changning could control Noble Consort Qin.
If it wasn't for Fang Liuqing, she would have gone to Cheng'an's bedroom to make a scene.
"All of you may leave!" Princess Changning came to the door and said to the eunuchs and maids.
"Sister Changning!" As if she had found her savior, Noble Consort Qin immediately threw herself into Princess Changning's arms and kept talking.
She was clearly a little girl who had not grown up.
"Don't make trouble. This is a special period. The Prime Minister and General Qin are not having a good time. They have been relieved of their duties for the time being." Changning gently stroked Noble Consort Qin's black hair.
When Noble Consort Qin entered the palace to study when she was young, she often pestered Princess Changning like a little follower.
Therefore, she had always treated Noble Consort Qin and Fang Liuqing as her younger sisters.
However, now wasn't the time to speak up for them. She had to stabilize the overall situation first.
"His Majesty has abandoned me and Sister Qing'er. I don't want to live anymore!" Noble Consort Qin was truly in love with Cheng'an, but unfortunately, the Emperor had already been blinded.
"Go and hang yourself now. At most, I'll help you send your corpse back to the Qin Manor later!" Princess Changning pulled Noble Consort Qin's ear and said in an unpleasant tone.
Seeing that she was really angry, Noble Consort Qin didn't dare to continue making a fuss and helped Princess Changning to the chair.
"These foreign beauties aren't simple. Cheng'an has been completely captivated by them. It's very difficult for me to even meet them." Princess Changning said in a serious tone.
"Then what do Sister Changning's mean?" Fang Liuqing was meticulous and had inherited the good genes of Prime Minister Fang.
"In a while, you and sister Qin will move next door to me. Sister Qin Jia can come and make trouble with me every now and then. Sister Qing'er, please help to persuade her. When the time comes, put on a show for others to see. Otherwise, your lives will be in danger."
The Great Zhou Dynasty was about to change, and Princess Changning had to find a way to stabilize it.
At the same time, she began to miss He Chuan.
