Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

"Your Majesty hasn't been in court for two days?"

Outside the palace, several carriages were parked.

Inside are all the important ministers in the court, including the prime minister himself, six ministers and other ministers of the court.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been recuperating in the palace because he has been unwell for the past two days. Please come back, my lords."

At the gate of the palace, only Eunuch Cao was smiling, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

Even if the old eunuch changed his dynasty, he still firmly occupied the position of the head of the internal affairs department.

"What? I'm not feeling well? Standing outside the palace, I can hear the music every night inside, no! I must meet His Majesty today, and I can't go on like this!"

"Yeah, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and it's time to take care of the government. How can you not go to court for pleasure?!"

For a while, many ministers outside the palace started shouting.

They also had no choice, it had been a week since Prince Li Cheng forced the palace to sit on the throne, but except for the first court visit, the next thing they did was enjoy themselves in the harem regardless of the government affairs.

The sound of string music can be heard even outside the palace, even if they are fools, they know what happened in the palace.

However, no matter how many ministers begged for an audience, even kneeling outside the palace gate, nothing changed.

As the veteran of the three dynasties, the old Prime Minister Zhang even walked away angrily. This scene was spread all over the capital, and many people talked about it.

For the new king who had just ascended the throne, they all shook their heads and sighed in private.

In the past, Emperor Qianming was negligent in government affairs, but now he doesn't know that the new emperor is even more exaggerated than the previous emperor after he ascended the throne, and he looks completely fatuous and incompetent and greedy for pleasure.

There are ministers kneeling outside the palace, but inside the palace it is a different scene.

"Your Majesty, some ministers in the court are kneeling outside the palace gate at this moment."

The eunuch close by couldn't help but speak, but Li Cheng, who was playing with the beauties in the palace, didn't take it seriously at all, and waved his hand directly, "Kneeling is kneeling, I don't have time to talk to them!"

After more than 20 years, he finally sat on the dragon chair he had been thinking about.

Now that the world has been settled, no one in the capital dares to question his throne, and even the Shannan Jiedu envoy, the current Lord of the Town, Guo Peng, has troops stationed there.

"It's the slave who talks too much."

"What are you doing in a daze, then play music, then dance!"

Li Cheng wanted to sit on the dragon chair even in his dreams, but now he feels the beauty of the emperor even more!

This palace has completely become his place of pleasure!
Those court ladies, he didn't let go of any pretty ones, and on the other side, there was a person who stood side by side with the emperor, chasing and fighting with many court ladies.

And this person is none other than Zhen Guogong, Shannan Jiedu Envoy and Yanzhou Shepherd Guo Peng!

"Your Majesty don't need to talk to those idiots, there are soldiers and horses of the ministers, and they can't turn the sky around!"

Guo Peng can now be said to be covering the sky with one hand in the court, relying on his assistance to the crown prince to ascend the throne as the emperor, just like a big dynasty, with one person below one person and above ten thousand people, and no one dares to stop him from entering or leaving the palace.

Riri and the emperor Li Cheng had fun in the palace, completely treating the palace as their own territory.

"I rely on Duke Zhen for everything!"

"Your Majesty is serious, I will naturally escort you, but I don't know when His Majesty will agree to your previous request?"

Mentioning the previous promises and conditions, Li Cheng's face changed slightly. Guo Peng's appetite is not small, even if there are so many rewards, it is far from satisfying his appetite.

Now it is an old matter that is being brought up again, and it seems that an explanation must be discussed today.

"Duke Zhen, since I promised you this matter, I won't break my promise."

Li Cheng forced a smile, but there was some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

He is already an emperor, and Guo Peng is just a courtier. It is a great kindness to allow him so many rewards, and even to freely enter and leave the palace!
I didn't expect to push forward, but he couldn't refuse in person.

Now that he has just ascended the throne and sat on the dragon chair, no one knows better than him that he is not sitting firmly. At least he will have to wait for him to completely control the [-] forbidden troops before he can kick Guo Peng away.

"Then I wonder when His Majesty will be able to reassure the minister?"

Guo Peng has the blood of Hu people and is not purely from the Central Plains. There is a ferocious smile on his rough face, how can he have the slightest duty to be a courtier?

Those who don't know may think that Lao Tzu is teaching his son a lesson.

Who would have thought that he was facing the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty?

"Now the whereabouts of the father is unknown, there are still variables! Everything will be discussed after finding the father and queen."

Li Cheng found an excuse, but it wasn't really an excuse. Emperor Qianming's disappearance is unknown, it's always a thorn in his throat!
With this excuse, although Guo Peng was angry, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

In the end, he could only snort coldly, "I have ordered people to search the capital. Unless the late emperor can fly to the sky and escape from the ground, there is no way he can escape!"

"Then why hasn't anyone been found yet?"

"Why doesn't Your Majesty ask those ministers in the court?"

Guo Peng showed a ferocious expression, not hiding his thoughts.

Li Cheng's back was cold and sweaty, and he couldn't understand, so he said quickly, "Duke Zhen, don't mess around!"

"Your Majesty really doesn't want to find the late emperor? But I heard that the late emperor has already made a will. After a long time, I can't cut the mess quickly. Your majesty's dragon chair can't sit firmly!"

Having said all this, Li Cheng was also heartbroken, his face changed several times, and finally showed a sinister expression, "Don't kill too many people, otherwise I don't want to see it all the way!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have a sense of proportion!"

Guo Peng smiled on the surface, but sneered inwardly. Before leaving the palace, he did not forget to mention, "Your Majesty, don't forget the rewards you promised me!"

Watching Guo Peng stride away, Li Cheng's original good mood disappeared.

How could he forget that in order to let the Shannan Jiedu envoy Guo Peng raise troops to help him usurp the throne, he agreed to many conditions!
In addition to the generous rewards, he even promised to send the noble concubine to Guo Peng, but he didn't expect that when he entered the palace, Qian Mingdi disappeared, and even the noble concubine disappeared.

"Eunuch Cao!"

"His Majesty."

"Is the imperial concubine still in the palace?"

Eunuch Cao's smiling face showed no thought. Li Cheng was also a little afraid of this old eunuch. After all, the Demon Sect was involved behind the scenes, and although he had many masters in his hands, it was not the time to use the Demon Sect.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still in the palace."

Li Cheng was slightly relieved when he heard it, but then lowered his voice, "You said if I go back on my word, how will Guo Peng react?"

He once regarded the noble concubine as the enemy who killed his mother, and wished he could cut him to pieces.

But now, Li Cheng's thoughts have changed!
He suddenly understood why his father had only favored the concubine for so many years, she was so beautiful, why didn't he understand before?

Looking at this imperial palace, although there are many Yingying and Yanyan, even Concubine Li can't compare with Concubine Gui, and she is not worthy of carrying shoes!
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and Guo Peng is just a courtier. How dare you do anything to Your Majesty?"

Eunuch Cao continued to speak with a smile, and Li Cheng was very happy to hear that, and also smiled, "I think so too, no matter how great his contribution is, I have already rewarded him enough!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Eunuch Cao continued to laugh.

Li Cheng was a little flustered, "This Guo Peng has been too arrogant lately. I allow him to enter and leave the palace, not to let him enter the palace every day, but to let him leave the capital early to be at ease!"

"Duke Qi is His Majesty's uncle."

Eunuch Cao reminded him, and Li Cheng also understood what it meant, all he needed was for Duke Qi to completely win over the generals in the Forbidden Army, and even Guo Peng would not dare to mess around in the capital.

At this time, Li Cheng seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said to the surroundings, "You all back down!"

After all the maids and eunuchs retreated, Eunuch Cao was the only one left, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Eunuch Cao, what happened to the things I asked you to arrange?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old slave is already making arrangements, but it will take some time, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion."

what to arrange?
Of course it is a shameful scandal!

Since Li Cheng ascended the throne as emperor, his suppressed ambitions and desires have increased even more over the past 20 years.

He even extended his hand to the imperial concubine. The reason why he announced that the imperial concubine died of a serious illness was not only to avenge his mother, but also not to pack the imperial concubine to Guo Peng.

He is for himself!
"I am not the emperor."

Li Cheng emphasized it again, but Eunuch Cao smiled tacitly.

My heart is full of contempt and ridicule.

Why?

Because he knew that Li Cheng wanted to get his hands on the noble concubine, and he had the guts. After all, he even got his hands on the concubine Li before, so why not the other concubines in the harem?
It's just that there are not many concubines who can catch the eye, and most of them are old and fading.

But with the lessons learned by Emperor Qianming, Li Cheng did not want to be cast aside and scolded by the people after he ascended the throne, so he came up with a plan to deceive the world!
The method is also very simple, first tell the noble concubines all over the world to follow the late emperor, and then choose a concubine, find a woman who looks very similar to the noble concubine from outside the palace, and bring her into the harem!
No matter whether people in the world believe it or not, at least they can live on face.

"Eunuch Cao, I am also thinking of the Sixth Emperor."

Who would believe this excuse?
Li Cheng himself didn't believe it, and Eunuch Cao didn't believe it either, but sometimes he had to find an excuse.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

……

No one would have thought that the noble concubine who had announced to the public that she had died of a serious illness was now in her bedroom.

"Miss."

Eunuch Cao came in a hurry, respectfully.

At the same time, the maids and eunuchs serving inside all retreated one after another.

Even if the dynasty changed outside, there was still no change in the imperial concubine's bedroom.

On the bed, the imperial concubine was lying lazily, as if she was not worried that the new monarch who had just boarded the plane would do anything to her. Seeing Eunuch Cao approaching, she asked calmly, "How is the court's reaction?"

"Everything is going as the empress hoped, and Li Cheng's son is really greedy for pleasure, and the officials are already complaining."

Eunuch Cao smiled, "Besides, Guo Peng is really as ambitious as your mother said, and he has already revealed his wolfish ambition in a hurry, and now there is a gap between him and Li Cheng."

"Is there any clue to what Shou'er asked you to investigate?"

The imperial concubine nodded lightly and didn't care, but asked about other things.

"My lord, the old slave is still investigating secretly, but it has been more than 20 years, most of those people are no longer there, it is difficult to find substantive evidence..."

Eunuch Cao was a little cautious, but luckily the imperial concubine also knew about this matter, so she didn't blame her.

"What I want is not evidence!"

The noble concubine hummed softly, and Eunuch Cao immediately understood, "What does your empress mean?"

"People's words are terrible. If that bastard Queen really lost her virginity on the way back then, and the child is not His Majesty's, then there will be no obstacles for Shou'er to return to the capital and ascend the throne!"

There was a chill in the eyes of the noble concubine. The empress who died ten years ago lost her virginity and ruined the children of other men besides the emperor. That is, Li Cheng, who is now enthroned as the emperor, is not of royal blood!
If this is known by the world, everything about him will be wiped away in an instant!

And this astonishing inside story was not clear before, and the imperial concubine only knew about it because of a secret letter from Jiangnan.

"I don't know how Shou'er found out that this child doesn't know what to say to Ben Gong now, it's useless to hurt him!"

Thinking of someone thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial concubine felt resentful.

"If he doesn't come back, this palace will be robbed..."
