After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Only then did Zhao Fangping see the cold black axe in my hand. He was so scared that he rolled back a few steps and cried, "My queen, my queen, I know I was wrong. Please don't send me away. I will never do it again."

I swung the axe and chopped hard at the stone lion in front of the gate. I heard a loud "bang" and the hard stone lion burst into pieces. Pieces of stone flew everywhere, and many of them hit the concubines and Zhao Fangping, scaring them so much that they screamed continuously. Zhao Fangping even fainted from fright.

I winked at Fuyao, who immediately walked into the hall and brought out a bucket of water, splashing it directly on Zhao Fangping's face. Zhao Fangping was awakened by the cold water. She saw me standing in front of her holding a black axe like a killing god, and her eyes rolled back in fear, and she was about to faint again.

I sneered and said, "You're going to faint. I'll put you in the carriage and send you away right away."

Zhao Fangping was frightened again. He covered his face and cried bitterly. He looked so pitiful.

I said, "I'll give you one incense stick of time to go back to your palace and pack your things. After one incense stick, I'll send a carriage to take you to Mingyue Temple. The Black Feather Army will escort you along the way to ensure your safety."

Of course Zhao Fangping knew that this so-called "escort" was actually surveillance to prevent her from escaping.

Zhao Fangping didn't care about anything and rolled on the ground. The concubines who were invited to the Laurel Palace were speechless when they saw Zhao Fangping's tantrum. Even the most humble woman could not do such a thing.

I let Zhao Fangping roll on the ground. Anyway, I would send her away when the time came.

I raised my axe and pointed at the concubines and asked, "Did you have any contact with men outside of your family at the Lotus Banquet that day?"

These concubines were almost scared to death, and many of them had injuries on their faces. They didn't care about the injuries on their faces at the moment, because I was more terrifying than the evil spirits in hell. The axe I chopped just now almost scared away half of their souls. Now that they were asked this question, the remaining half of their souls were almost scared away.

They fell to the ground, crying and shouting, "Please forgive us, Madam Concubine Shu. We were just drinking and eating at the banquet. We didn't say a word to those men. If we lie, God will punish us."

I looked up at the sky and said, "Very good, God is not angry, which proves that you are not lying. Why don't you hurry up and get out of here? Do you also want to be sent to Mingyue Temple like her?"

These concubines were so frightened that they stumbled and crawled away with the help of their maids. Fortunately, they all had maids with them, otherwise their legs would be too weak to run.

Zhao Fangping rolled on the ground for a while, and seeing that no one paid any attention to her, she had to get up dejectedly and went into the hall crying to pack her things.

Zhao Fangping's hair was disheveled and her clothes were dirty, but she didn't even have time to wash up and change into clean clothes because the time of one incense stick was almost up and she had to pack some valuables and clothes. Otherwise, it would be too bad if she wanted to buy a piece of candy but had no money due to the long journey.

As soon as Zhao Fangping entered the hall to pack his things, Zheng Yan arrived in a hurry.

Zheng Yan looked at the rubble on the ground, then at me who looked like an angry lion. His heart tightened, and he rushed to me, looking at me nervously and asked, "Aman, are you hurt?"

Seeing Zheng Yan, my anger suddenly subsided, and the axe in my hand fell to the ground with a clang. I tugged at Zheng Yan's wide sleeves in grievance, and tears started to flow. I choked and said, "The Empress Dowager is soft-hearted and doesn't like to manage things, so I will help you manage your harem on her behalf. You won't think I'm meddling, will you?"

Zheng Yan rolled up his sleeves and gently wiped the tears from my face, saying, "If you want to intervene, then intervene, but don't get yourself angry. What's going on with all the gravel on the ground?"

I blinked and said, "I was so angry that I chopped down the stone lion in front of the door."

Of course Zheng Yan knew how strong I was. Plus with the magic weapon in my hand, I could easily demolish a stone lion or even a house in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that I was still crying, Zheng Yan couldn't help but ask, "Okay, stop crying. Can you tell me what you are angry about?"

I told the story of how Zhao Fangping entertained the young men from the Beijing circle at the Lotus Viewing Banquet.

After hearing this, Zheng Yan said, "The Empress Dowager was there that day, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't expect that there was a man from outside the family there. I was indeed negligent."

I blinked and said, "Then I will punish her to go to Mingyue Temple to practice with her hair untied. Your Majesty will not blame me, right?"

Zheng Yan touched my head and said, "You help me manage the harem. I can't thank you enough, so how could I blame you?"

I deliberately pulled Zheng Yan's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty is so good to me."

I often see Zheng Xi acting like a spoiled child in front of He Wan'er, and I can learn a thing or two from her.

Zheng Yan's heart was almost softened, and he whispered, "Now you know how good I am to you?"

Our intimacy was seen by Zhao Fangping, who had just come out after packing up. She was filled with jealousy, but she did not dare to show it. She could only walk to Zheng Yan with grievance, bowed, and cried, "Your Majesty, my sister wants to punish me to go to Mingbai Temple to practice Buddhism with my hair untied. I don't want to go. Please save me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Fangping thought that as long as she acted pitiful and weak in front of Zheng Yan, Zheng Yan would feel sorry for her. However, Zheng Yan was a man who had experienced the world. The twenty or so concubines in the harem were all beautiful and gentle. Zhao Fangping stood next to them and was not too outstanding, so Zheng Yan would not look down on her. If she did not commit suicide, the position of queen would definitely be hers, but if she did commit suicide, the position of queen would not be hers.

In addition, Zhao Fangping was throwing a tantrum today, with disheveled hair and dirty clothes, just like a beggar. Seeing this, Zheng Yan frowned and said unhappily: "Since you have done something wrong, you must be punished. Don't you understand such a simple truth? If I am such a person who can't distinguish right from wrong, who will obey me in the future?"

Zhao Fangping looked at Zheng Yan in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes. She said with a heartbroken look, "Your Majesty, my aunt who loved me the most is dead, my father doesn't love me, and my brother and sister see me as a thorn in their eyes. I am now like an orphan, helpless and helpless. If Your Majesty still despises me, I will have no place to stand in the future. Even if I become the queen in the future, I will become a laughing stock. Your Majesty, please understand."

Zhao Fangping is very good at using the logic of kidnapping, but I just don't fall for it.

I walked towards Zhao Fangping step by step. Zhao Fangping stepped back in fear, his eyes wide open and he shouted in horror: "What do you want to do?"
