Harem Daily Life

"You bold servant, you want to take advantage of His Majesty's coma to stand on the side of the evil concubine and try to force the emperor to abdicate, right? And you guards, look carefully, I am the queen, should you listen to this evil concubine and this eunuch, or to me?" The queen was furious and pointed at the guards and cursed.

It must be said that the Queen's words did have some intimidating power. The guards looked at each other and did not move.

Tao Yanyan saw that the situation was changing rapidly and could not afford to delay any longer, so he took out the token in his arms and held it high: "I have a token bestowed by His Majesty. Seeing the token is like seeing His Majesty in person. Now I order you to take His Majesty away!"

When everyone saw this, they all knelt down.

Isn’t the big character “璋” on the token your Majesty’s name?

Concubine De was shocked. This Concubine Tao was really favored. His Majesty even gave her this token!

Feeling sour in her heart, Defei gave Tao Yanyan a fierce look.

The queen's face turned pale. She had never thought that Tao Yanyan actually had this thing on him. Closing her eyes, the queen said, "Your Majesty is in a coma. Who knows whether this token was given by Your Majesty or stolen by you? Humph, I say it again. I am the queen, the master of the six palaces. Come, quickly tie up this evil concubine and send her to the Ministry of Punishment. If she resists, she will be executed on the spot!"

Eunuch Zhang stopped her and said, "Reflect on your words, Empress. If His Majesty wakes up and knows that you have done something so extreme, he will be furious. It would be better to let me and Concubine Tao take His Majesty away. I will plead for you in the future."

The queen thought for only a second, then shook her head and said, "No, no matter what, I will not agree to you taking His Majesty away today." She couldn't let His Majesty wake up immediately, because once he woke up, she might end up being deposed.

The Queen now urgently needs to consult with the Duke's Mansion on how to minimize the impact and keep her position as Queen.

She needs time.

But Tao Yanyan wouldn't give her a chance.

"Guards, listen up, quickly carry His Majesty on your back and send him to Changle Palace." Tao Yanyan was also making a desperate move; she must take the person away today.

On one side, the Queen's men were trying desperately to stop them, while on the other side, Concubine Tao and Zhang Fuhai's guards were about to rush in to snatch the person away. The two sides were facing each other with swords drawn.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Concubine De quickly stepped aside and did not get involved.

"Princess Tao, I'd say just forget it and go back to your Changle Palace. The Empress won't hold you responsible." Defei advised.

Although she didn't like Concubine Tao, she didn't want to see her die here.

Tao Yanyan rolled her eyes at her. She really couldn't understand why this person was so stupid. Couldn't she see the clues at this time?

Tao Yanyan was anxious. He looked at the palace servants who were trying to stop him with a cold look in his eyes. He drew out the sword of a guard beside him and held it across his face, saying sternly: "Whoever tries to stop me will be killed without mercy!"

After saying that, he swung his sword and directly cut the arm of a palace servant.

No one expected the blood to be seen in Fengyi Palace, especially the one who punished the queen in front of her. The queen was so angry that she almost lost her mind: "Are you all crazy? Are you all going to let Concubine Tao assassinate me?"

Tao Yanyan held the token in one hand and the sword in the other, and said coldly: "Take His Majesty away, and those who disobey my order will be killed!"

The guards rushed forward and quickly dispersed the palace servants who were blocking the way, then went in and carried the emperor out.

"Let's go!" Tao Yanyan gave an order, and Eunuch Zhang led people to escort the emperor out to sit in the sedan chair. Tao Yanyan glanced at Concubine De and said, "Concubine De, please go back quickly. Everyone in Fengyi Palace is under house arrest. We will make arrangements after His Majesty wakes up."

The guards escorted her out quickly. When Concubine De saw this, she immediately took her maid and hurriedly left Fengyi Palace.

Haitang was so scared that her legs went limp: "My queen, is Concubine Tao crazy? How dare she give such an order? She is so bold. She is the queen!"

Concubine De was still somewhat frightened and urged them to get up from the sedan chair: "Hurry up, hurry up, I think they are both crazy! They are just men, what is there to fight for? One of them only gave birth to two useless princesses, and the other doesn't even have her own son. What are they trying to do so hard for!"

Haitang choked, thinking that they were robbing His Majesty, not an ordinary man!

He Linzhang was unconscious and could not sit steadily, so Tao Yanyan took the ride with him. She carefully put a cloak on He Linzhang, rested his head on her shoulder, covered his cold hands, and hugged him with both hands, protecting him with her small body.

Eunuch Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and was thankful that His Majesty had previously ordered the imperial guards to surround Fengyi Palace, otherwise, he would have no way to get help.

Tao Yanyan thought about it and decided that she had to report tonight's events to the Queen Mother as soon as possible, so she asked Eunuch Zhang to send someone to Changchun Palace to explain the matter clearly.

Eunuch Zhang did not dare to delay and immediately sent a young eunuch.

Fortunately, Changle Palace was not far from Fengyi Palace. After arriving there, everyone sent the emperor to Concubine Tao's bedroom, and Imperial Doctor Liu continued to stand by and take the emperor's pulse.

Tao Yanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at his own territory.

Qing Feng said tremblingly: "My lady, why don't you change your clothes first? There is blood on your skirt."

Tao Yanyan sat aside, her legs shaking constantly. If she hadn't been able to command the guards with the token just now, she might have died in Fengyi Palace.

She hurriedly poured a cup of tea and drank it. She drank three cups in a row before she slowly calmed down. However, she still couldn't stop herself from feeling weak.

"Wash your face and change your clothes. The Queen Mother will probably be here soon."

Mingyue hurriedly helped her to wash and change clothes, and sure enough, not long after, the Queen Mother came.

Tao Yanyan was helped out by Mingyue to welcome the emperor. When she saw the Queen Mother, she rushed forward with tears in her eyes and hugged her: "Wow, Queen Mother, it's so great that you are in the palace! Fortunately, you haven't gone to the temporary palace yet. I just had a narrow escape and was scared to death!"

Queen Mother: "..."

Is Concubine Tao always acting like a spoiled child like this? How can Zhang'er bear it?

Everyone: "..."

Where did the majestic and domineering empress in Fengyi Palace just now go? Why did she become a little crybaby?

The eunuch sent by Eunuch Zhang has already reported the matter in general. The empress dowager is most concerned about the emperor's condition at this time.

The empress dowager, who had already gone to bed, heard that the emperor had fainted in Fengyi Palace and that Concubine Tao was taking a sword and the guards to rescue him, so she hurried to Changle Palace. Before she saw her son, Concubine Tao was holding him and crying until her clothes were wet.

"Well, stop crying, let's go see the emperor first."

Tao Yanyan wiped her tears and took the Queen Mother's arm: "I will take the Queen Mother there, and by the way, let Eunuch Zhang report the cause and effect of the matter to the Queen Mother."

Eunuch Zhang hurried forward, and the three of them walked in front. The others stood some distance away, not daring to eavesdrop.

The more the empress dowager listened, the more frightened she became. She had never expected that the empress would be so cruel as to feed the emperor an amnesia drug. She had never expected that the empress would be so cruel to the second legitimate princess and completely ignore the child.

The empress dowager was furious. She didn't care if the women in the harem competed for her favor, but if they hurt the royal heir, that would touch the empress dowager's reverse scale, and she would never tolerate it.
