To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Emperor Xu lifted the quilt, ignoring the remaining poison, and stepped barefoot on the ground, holding the imperial concubine's hand: "Jing'er, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

See this.

Jiusu sighed secretly.

Really blind.

She now understood how angry the emperor was for not working properly and having eyes only for women. She understood those censors who wanted to bang their heads against the pillar and die.

Empress Dowager Xu was both angry and helpless: "Your Majesty, please go back and lie down. How can this be disgraceful?"

She couldn't stand the empress's self-willed behavior, and she couldn't stand the vying for beauty between Concubine Qi Jing and Concubine Yin. In short, the emperor's harem was full of chaos, and she didn't like it.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xu was holding the imperial concubine's hand and sitting on the bed.

Show affection like no one else.

"Your Majesty~" Concubine Qi Jing leaned delicately in his arms.

Empress Dowager Xu took a deep breath and closed her eyes, nearly choking on it. She turned around, stared at the Empress, and scolded her, "As the mistress of the Six Palaces, you actually let a vixen lie on your head. How dare you stand here and watch?"

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

Empress Xu chuckled and said, "Your Majesty is right. Thank you for the seat."

Her expression remained calm as she turned around and sat down, picking up the tea beside her and taking a sip, ignoring the anger in the Queen Mother's eyes.

Emperor Xu lowered his head and asked, "My beloved concubine, what's wrong?"

Concubine Qi Jing bit her lip and stroked the emperor's face with her hand. "Your Majesty, I'm so glad you're okay. Just now, I heard from outside the palace that Chang Rong was poisoned, so I came to see you immediately."

Xu Huang frowned, "How could Changrong be poisoned? Is he okay?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Our son is fine." Tears welled up in Concubine Qi Jing's eyes as she said distressedly, "The child knows he did something wrong and made you sad, so he has been looking for opportunities to make amends."

She cried heartbrokenly.

"Every time Doctor Wang brews medicine, Changrong will take a sip beforehand. Only when he feels better will he have the medicine brought to him."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xu burst into tears. "Changrong is a good boy. I have always wronged him. Come, draft an edict!"

Eunuch Shang brought the minister who wrote for the emperor.

Emperor Xu sat on the bed, wearing a dragon robe, looking at everyone present with a serious expression. Empress Xu clenched her hands in her sleeves, having a bad premonition.

She was afraid that the emperor would punish the prince.

But she didn't expect it.

The emperor was even more cruel than she had imagined.

Emperor Xu said, "My second son is kind, filial, intelligent, prudent, and filial. He is not afraid of life and death. He will test poisons for me and be restored to his princely status. He will be named Prince Shen. While I recuperate, Prince Shen will handle important matters at court, and everyone will obey his orders."

"Your Majesty, this is not good, is it?" Concubine Qi Jing raised the corner of her mouth, but still worriedly said, "The Queen and the Crown Prince will be angry."

Holding his beloved concubine in his arms, he no longer cared about anything else.

Emperor Xu looked at the Empress, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, and said sarcastically, "During the days when I was sick, Jing'er has always been by my side. The Empress is so busy that even I don't care, so how can I have time to be angry?"

Empress Xu did not make any excuses.

She really didn't come here many times.

He was too lazy to put on a show, and even more unwilling to watch Concubine Qi Jing put on a show in front of the emperor.

Emperor Xu clenched his fist and coughed a few times. He lowered his head, not knowing what he was looking at, and said in a deep voice, "Crown Prince, please obey my command."

"Your son will obey your order." Xu Qihuai knelt on the ground, clasped his fists, his heart pounding.

Emperor Xu stopped hesitating and gestured to the Imperial Concubine, who then helped him to the window. Gazing at the birds soaring high outside, he said, "I have high hopes for the Crown Prince, but rumors have been circulating in the palace lately, alleging that Rong'er and I were poisoned and that the Crown Prince has neglected his duties. Therefore, I decree that the Crown Prince be deposed and prohibited from managing court affairs. He must be confined to his residence to reflect on his mistakes."

After a long while, Xu Qihuai kowtowed and said, "I obey your command."

Emperor Xu put his hands behind his back and didn't give any side glances.

"I will remember your contribution, my dear Lord. When I recover, I will reward you." He coughed lightly, remembering something. "Mother, please go back and rest."

Empress Dowager Xu instructed: "Your Majesty, you should have a good rest. I will come to see you again in a few days."

The prince and Jiusu also left.

Empress Xu looked at her son's lonely back, feeling angry and furious. Her feet seemed to have taken root and she couldn't move a single step. She felt sorry for Qi Huai, and felt sorry that his efforts were worthless in the eyes of the emperor.

At this moment, Emperor Xu and the Imperial Concubine thought that there was no one around.

They snuggled up to each other, and the imperial concubine's clothes were half untied.

Clang.

The wooden chair made a creaking sound.

"Ah!" Imperial Concubine Qi Jing turned around, hurriedly straightened her clothes, looked at the Queen in surprise, and then slowed down, "Your Majesty? I'm so sorry, I thought you were gone."

Empress Xu sat upright on the chair and said calmly, "Impolite? Well, you are indeed quite shameless. You are already half buried in the earth, why are you pretending to be pure and lovely here? The emperor has not yet recovered, what do you want to do?"

It's nothing more than a matter between men and women.

But when the Queen asked, the Imperial Concubine was not sure how to answer.

"this…"

Emperor Xu's interest was interrupted, and he frowned unhappily. He held the imperial concubine's hand, and his preference was obvious. He asked, "Empress, do you have anything else to say?"

Empress Xu asked, "Your Majesty, you made the decision to depose the Crown Prince without consulting the ministers. Don't you think that was a bit hasty? Qi Huai worked so hard, handling affairs for Your Majesty day and night, and the ministers praised him. Yet, you deposed the Crown Prince without any due diligence. Do you no longer wish to rule the country?"

Emperor Xu flew into a rage and cursed at her.

"When did it become your turn as a woman to comment on the Xu Kingdom? Forget about deposing the Crown Prince. Even if I were to depose the Empress, I wouldn't need to consult with anyone else!"

Suddenly.

Empress Xu looked over with cold eyes. She picked up the porcelain cup on the table and threw it to the ground. The porcelain cup shattered into pieces instantly. She saw that the emperor's face became more and more ugly.

She finally spoke.

"I am in the palace, waiting for the emperor's decree to depose the empress!"

After saying this, the queen turned and walked out of the door.

Emperor Xu chased after him, clutching his chest. He shouted, "Do you think I dare not? Come, surround the Queen's palace and forbid her to enter or leave it at all."

Concubine Qi Jing supported him, with a look of pride in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I will always be by your side."

Emperor Xu withdrew his gaze, looking ten years older. He took a deep breath and said, "Jing'er, you are the best. I have finally been able to fulfill my promise to you."

Concubine Qi Jing said softly, "Your Majesty, I don't want anything. I just want to be by your side."

At that time, the emperor was still the crown prince. His Highness fell in love with her at first sight and promised her that she would become the queen and her son would be the crown prince. Unfortunately, he broke his promise.

He made the orphan daughter of a meritorious official his queen.

She knew very well that the emperor felt guilty and she had not lost yet. Once the prince was deposed, she and Rong'er would have a chance to come to the fore. This day had finally arrived.

Return to the bedroom.

The Queen's Palace was sealed.

Xi Xiang brought a cup of tea, "My Lady, is this really okay?"

"Hmm." Empress Xu took a deep breath. She felt really good after letting out her anger. She took a sip of tea and raised the corner of her mouth. "Tell Madam Jiang that I have lost my power over the six palaces as she said."

Xi Xiangfu bribed a guard and passed the message on.
