The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, your servant..."

Xiao Chengxu waved his hand and said helplessly: "Forget it, forget it this time. Remember, don't act on your own in the future."

Feng An quickly agreed.

After sending his attendants away, Xiao Chengxu could not help but look sad, with an unspeakable bitterness welling up in his heart. It was as if his heart was pierced by needles, causing him to feel a tingling pain.

Qingqing probably no longer feels sorry for him now, not to mention that she just summoned the imperial physician. Even if he died in front of Qingqing, Qingqing would not shed a tear, but would clap her hands in joy instead.

"Reversing life and death is against the will of heaven. If I cannot do so..."

According to common sense, the affairs of the previous dynasty should not reach Xie Yaoqing's ears so quickly. After all, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and she should avoid the political affairs of the previous dynasty.

However, since the matter of disbanding the harem was too serious, it didn't take long for many people in the harem to hear the news. How could the concubines sit still? So, they all came to Kunning Palace to ask to see Xie Yaoqing.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi requests to see you."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing requests to see you."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Cui wants to see you."

……

Xie Yaoqing felt very confused. She clearly remembered that today was not the day for paying respects, so why did these people suddenly come to her Kunning Palace one after another?

If it wasn't for greeting, then he wouldn't have come to her just to drink tea and chat, right? Her relationship with these concubines wasn't very good, not to mention that there were quite a few people coming this time.

There is weirdness.

Most likely it's not a good thing. Trouble is coming.

Xie Yaoqing sighed deeply, grumbling helplessly in her heart, but she still stood up from the rocking chair. As a monk rings the bell every day, as the queen, since she still sits in this position, she has the responsibility to manage the harem well. Even if it is just for show, it is better than doing nothing.

When Xie Yaoqing arrived at the place, she looked around and was surprised to see so many people there. It was almost the same as when she was paying respects. Most of the concubines were already there.

Xie Yaoqing's heart tightened and her eyelids twitched violently. So many concubines gathered here, and they were obviously coming for her. The expressions on their faces were extremely ugly, as if they had encountered a huge trouble.

If they were in trouble, she would be in even bigger trouble.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty be blessed with good health and long life." The concubines bowed in unison to Xie Yaoqing to pay their respects.

Xie Yaoqing raised her hand slightly, motioning for everyone to stand up, and slowly said, "Everyone, stand up."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "It is so lively in our Kunning Palace today. I wonder why you sisters are here this time?"

When Xie Yaoqing asked this question, the anxious and impatient concubine immediately spoke up: "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor wants to disband the harem."

Even though Xie Yaoqing had a premonition that this was going to be a troublesome matter, she never expected it to be such a thorny and difficult matter. She almost spit out the hot tea she had just taken in her mouth, making a fool of herself in public. Considering that it was not decent to do so, Xie Yaoqing had to bite the bullet and swallow the tea with difficulty, and she almost choked.

After coughing twice and clearing his throat, Xie Yaoqing's eyes slowly swept over the concubines present one by one, and finally stopped at Concubine Cui who had just spoken. She frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "Concubine Cui, please be careful with your words. In this inner courtyard of the imperial palace, it is a taboo to talk nonsense and presumptuously interpret the emperor's will."

Dismiss the harem?

how can that be!

I'm afraid Concubine Cui is out of her mind. How dare she talk nonsense here in broad daylight!

Since ancient times, which emperor would dismiss his harem? This is simply a fantasy.

It must be fake. It couldn't be more fake.

What’s more, he is an emperor as scheming as Xiao Chengxu?

All the beauties in this room were allowed to enter the palace only after Xiao Chengxu’s personal approval. Without his approval, how could the harem be so lively?

Xie Yaoqing's first reaction was that it was impossible, but when she saw the anxiety, shock, and other expressions on the concubines' faces, it didn't seem like they were fake, and she felt a little shaken.

Moreover, if they just wanted to tease her, there shouldn't be so many concubines who would unite to tease her. Although she was not very popular in the harem, some concubines were quite tactful and obedient. For example, Concubine Jing didn't seem like the kind of person who would join in the fun.

The Concubine Cui who was named looked terrified and said quickly, "I dare not."

Then, the other concubines also began to talk at once, and each of them spoke as if it were true.

Xie Yaoqing waved to Feng Ning, signaling him to go and find out the authenticity of the news.

At this moment, Concubine Qi came over with great grace. Her charming face, as bright as the moon, was covered with a sneer full of sarcasm. "Now that things have come to this, why does Your Majesty still have to pretend? What's the point of doing this? Even I find it boring. May I ask Your Majesty, aren't you tired of pretending like this?"

One has to admit that Xie Yaoqing is indeed quite resourceful. Who knows what kind of bewitching tricks she used on the emperor to make him seem to have lost his mind, first canceling the selection of concubines, and now even wants to expel all the people in the harem and leave her alone in the palace. Everything is absurd.

When she first learned that this year's selection had been cancelled, Concubine Qi was secretly delighted. Although there were many beauties in the palace, she really didn't want any new women to enter. If a concubine with a better appearance than her really came, she might become her rival in the future.

However, when Concubine Qi thought that the cancellation of the talent show had nothing to do with her and was probably because of the person in Kunning Palace, she felt depressed and aggrieved.

But she could never have dreamed that something even more depressing was yet to come, and it came so suddenly that she hadn't heard any news about it beforehand.

She would be dismissed from the palace within three days and would be away from the court from then on. She would lose even the qualification to accompany the emperor silently and get closer to him, let alone compete for his favor and love.

After hearing that the other concubines had already gone to Kunning Palace, Concubine Qi hurried over without saying a word.

She wanted to see how Xie Yaoqing, the empress who was good at disguising herself, would use clever words to defend herself this time. It was obviously her who instigated the emperor, otherwise how could the emperor be so absurd.
