Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

A cold wind blew, and Xuanyuan Wuchen got goose bumps all over his body!

He looked down and immediately became angry and embarrassed.

My precious body was actually seen naked in public by others. How shameful!

Has there ever been an emperor in history who was as shameful as him?

He casually drew the sword from the guard beside him and chopped off the head of the eunuch closest to him with one sword.

The head died with its eyes open, rolling to the feet of a concubine, staring at her intently.

The concubines were frightened and screamed.

"Asshole! Are they all dead? They didn't even bother to change my clothes!"

"What's the point of me keeping a bunch of you useless people?"

In an instant, everyone, including the imperial guards, knelt on the ground, trembling, and no one dared to look up.

Eunuch Cao lowered his head and huddled aside without saying a word.

For some reason, when he woke up, he suddenly felt clear-headed.

It turned out that His Majesty had never considered him a human being before, and that he really had to be loyal to someone else.

Of course he wouldn't take the lead in doing such a thankless task.

After a long while, a young eunuch trembled and said:

"Your Majesty, calm down..."

"It's not that the servants refused to change your Majesty's clothes, it's... the entire palace, including your Majesty's clothes, was stolen."

"Slave...slave's clothes are cheap and I am afraid they will stain your majesty's body, so..."

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Your servants are sending people to find clothes that fit Your Majesty..."

"Nonsense!!"

"This is all nonsense. Do you think I am confused? How dare you fool me like this?"

"I will kill all nine of your clans!"

Xuanyuan Wuchen was so angry that he shouted and didn't believe what the young eunuch said at all.

How can this be?

The thunderbolt from heaven was enough to make him angry, but the dog slave actually dared to tell such an outrageous lie.

And the concubines who were kneeling down dared to watch him make a fool of himself without saying anything to stop him.

Do you really think he has a good temper?

Xuanyuan Wuchen swung his sword again, but this time it missed.

The young eunuch's shoulder was bleeding profusely, but his body remained stiff and he didn't dare to cry out in pain.

Xuanyuan Wuchen looked at the sword in his hand. Somehow, he suddenly felt that he had lost all his strength, as if his body had been hollowed out.

A wave of panic surged in the emperor's heart.

"My prince, calm down."

An old female voice sounded, and all the concubines breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother has arrived.

The emperor should never go too crazy in front of his own mother.

"The palace was indeed robbed, and my palace was also looted. This is true."

The emperor then noticed that the empress dowager was also only wearing a middle garment.

Her body, which used to be adorned with jewels, was now without even a single piece of jewelry.

I couldn't help but believe the Queen Mother's words a little bit, simply because the Queen Mother usually loved luxury.

But how is this possible?

The Queen Mother's old face was filled with fatigue. She coldly ordered the guards:

"Why don't you drag this servant who has angered His Majesty away!"

The guards immediately dragged the young eunuch away. No one knew whether he was being treated for his injuries or for some other reason.

He also ordered that the emperor's body be examined immediately.

Really, are the queen and all these concubines just decorations?

The Queen Mother glared at the concubines in the harem, headed by the Queen, with dissatisfaction.

Concubines in the harem:

"..."

I've become a pauper, how can I have the heart to serve this capricious emperor?

They don’t even know who to cry to?

At this time, a palace maid finally brought clothes to the emperor, which they found from the laundry department.

Although it was still a little damp, it was finally worthy of the emperor's status.

The emperor put on his clothes and ordered his men to count the damage, track down the thieves, and repair the palace.

The imperial physician came and examined the emperor, and found that he was just frightened and had symptoms of a cold, but no other problems were found.

He also checked the pulse of the Empress Dowager and the ladies one by one.

She also found out that a noble lady was two months pregnant. The queen looked at the noble lady with a strange look in her eyes.

Fortunately, the Imperial Hospital was not affected and immediately prescribed medicine for the masters.

A flurry of activity.

It was not until the second half of the night that Xuanyuan Wuchen let his concubines leave and found a relatively intact palace to spend the night.

The next day, the emperor was unable to get up.

The emperor was dizzy, nauseous and vomiting. At first he panicked and thought he was poisoned, but later the imperial physician diagnosed him with a severe cold.

So the court was suspended for three days.

The emperor ordered that no one be silenced regarding the theft and lightning strike in the palace.

But the news still got out.

You have to know that the sky in the capital was clear last night, with only lightning and thunder above the palace. How could it not attract the attention of those who were interested?

The people say all kinds of things.

Some said that the emperor obtained the throne through illegal means and was punished by God.

Some said that the emperor was moody and killed innocent people indiscriminately, and that this was a warning from God to the people.

Others said they saw lightning and thunder, and a goddess descended from the sky above the palace. The goddess announced that a new emperor had been appointed for the Dai Viet Dynasty, and ordered Xuanyuan Wuchen to abdicate in favor of a more capable person.

Others said the emperor had been struck by lightning and died, and it was unknown who would be the next emperor...

In short, there are all kinds of rumors, and the legends are becoming more and more outrageous.

When the sick Xuanyuan Wuchen heard about it, he was so angry that he threw a set of tea sets that the princes had just presented to him!

"Go check it for me! Check it!"

"If you can't find out, come to me with your heads on your shoulders!"

"How dare you criticize the emperor? You are all ignorant and untouchable people who only follow the crowd!"

The Jinyiwei arrested several groups of people and tortured them severely, but they could not find out anything.

Those are indeed spontaneous discussions among the people. Can they really be used to confuse the common people?

As a last resort, when his condition did not improve, the emperor issued an edict of guilt and ordered Crown Prince Xuanyuan Yao to govern the country.

He knew very well that the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince had all grown up and had powerful forces behind them.

At present, only the crown prince has just risen to power and cannot pose a threat to his throne.

Just when the latest news in the palace dominated the headlines every day, General Nan brought the Nan family guards to the Zhao Mansion and asked Zhao Wenxuan to divorce his granddaughter Nan Xi.

"You asked me to divorce Xier, how is that possible?"

"Grandfather, are you getting senile? Xier and I are a loving couple and there is no way we can get divorced in this lifetime."

Zhao Wenxuan laughed angrily.

Of course he refused.

Although he didn't like his first wife, Nan Xi, he knew better than anyone what his marriage to Nan Xi meant.

Not to mention that he had to rely on his in-laws to do things for the emperor.

"A loving couple?"

General Nan sneered:

"From what I know, since your concubine came into the mansion, you and Xi'er haven't been husband and wife for a long time, right?"

"That, that's because..."

Zhao Wenxuan hesitated for a long time, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said:

"If Xier really doesn't like it, I'll kick Min out of the house!"

"As for the daughter born to the Min family, she will be registered under Xier's name from now on. She is Xier's legitimate biological daughter..."

"I disagree."

Nan Xi, who had been silent the whole time, said lightly.

"Why should I help others raise their daughter? You are so calculating."

"If I register a concubine's daughter under my name, will she inherit my dowry in the future?"

"Xier, you..."

"I've already given in so much, how can you be so clueless?"

Zhao Wenxuan looked at Nan Xi with disappointment, as if Nan Xi was really a unreasonable woman.

"I know you blame me for doting on Rou'er, but I've already promised to send her out of the mansion... From now on, you'll still be in charge of this mansion. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
