Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Lan Qingwu was about to ask something when the Emperor Shenwu hurried in. Lan Qingwu hurriedly stood up and saluted. The Emperor Shenwu's face was gloomy, but he still reached out to help Lan Qingwu up: "What are you talking about in private?"

Lan Qingwu smiled softly and said, "We're talking about Chu Ming's marriage! Your Majesty, are you coming from Qianzheng Palace?"

Emperor Shenwu's expression was gloomy and cold. Ruping had asked all the palace people in the hall to quietly leave, and like Li Xiang, she shrank into a corner and dared not utter a word.

Emperor Shenwu smoothed his sleeves with his bony fingers: "I have ordered the death of a talented woman in the harem!"

Lan Qingwu was shocked: "Yes..."

"Mrs. An, she was disrespectful to me and even cursed me in private! Don't interfere in this matter!"

"By the way," Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu, "Who is this Concubine An close to? Does she know anything about how the Empress manages the harem?"

Lan Qingwu was stunned for a moment: "Wei Ruo only rewards the imperial concubines with some things during festivals. I really don't know who Concubine An is close to. Your Majesty..."

To put it bluntly, this Concubine An's position is too low. None of the people in higher positions would notice a small talent for no reason. Moreover, this talent has never been summoned by the emperor. If it were not for Lan Qingwu's lenient and benevolent management of the harem, and the clean and honest atmosphere in the harem, I am afraid that the little talent would have been tortured half to death by the endless shady means in the harem.

At this time, Ru Ping in the corner took two steps forward silently: "Empress, isn't this Concubine An the one who took you to the cold palace and tried to intimidate you shortly after you entered the palace?"

Lan Qingwu was really stunned, "It seems to be true."

The Shenwu Emperor's sword-like brows furrowed even tighter, and he said coldly, "There's such a thing! It seems that granting her death directly is really too easy for her!"

Lan Qingwu stretched out her bare hand and grasped the Shenwu Emperor's palm: "Don't be angry!"

It would be a lie to say that he was not angry. In the eyes of Emperor Shenwu, Concubine An was seeking her own death. He could not favor these women, but he gave these women and their families glory and honor. Since these women entered the palace, they must maintain the most basic loyalty to the emperor. Those who dared to trample on his imperial pride and dignity had no reason to live.

Emperor Shenwu suppressed his anger and instantly turned into the calm king.

"How could I be angry about that? I'm just a little unhappy because I was offended."

"It is indeed my fault that I was so negligent in managing the harem that I didn't realize that Concubine An had committed such a treasonous act. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

The anger in the heart of Emperor Shenwu had long since disappeared: "How can you blame me? Someone with evil intentions will get into trouble sooner or later. I can't control people's hearts. If you want me to calm down, accompany me to a place."

Lan Qingwu had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman. However, when Ru Ping was helping Lan Qingwu bathe, she discovered deep and shallow marks on Lan Qingwu's body. Ru Ping was stunned for a moment and whispered: "This His Majesty is really something. How can he not know how to pity the queen! This servant will apply some ointment for you."

Lan Qingwu shook his head, frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty is angry, but it's not directed at me. I'm just worried that this matter is not over yet."

Ru Ping thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty hasn't revealed the truth of this matter because he's concerned about the royal family's reputation. He's already killed two people to vent his anger, and...he wants to kill more?"

Lan Qingwu lowered his eyes: "I hope this matter ends here!"

However, Lan Qingwu still underestimated the wrath of an emperor whose dignity was offended, and the price he paid was really in blood.

Not long after, An Cairen's mother's family was impeached for corruption, bribery, and forming a clique for personal gain. With lightning speed, Emperor Shenwu executed the entire An family. The three closest relatives were all sentenced to death, and the rest of the extended family, regardless of gender, age, or age, were exiled to the southwest, never to return. All nine clans were exterminated.

The people in the harem were frightened by Emperor Shenwu's actions and became much more obedient. All banquets and gatherings were cancelled. Except for paying respects to the Empress, they would never leave the palace if they could.

Lan Qingwu was in a trance for several days because of this matter. She couldn't help but recall her original world. The original world became more and more blurred in her impression. It was replaced by this dynasty where the emperor's anger would cause millions of corpses to float on the surface and blood to flow for thousands of miles. Her husband's recent decision had caused more than a thousand people to lose their lives.

Lan Qingwu knew that he should pretend that nothing had happened, but a trace of fear still slowly and uncontrollably spread into his heart.

How perceptive was the Emperor Shenwu! He had of course noticed Lan Qingwu's change the first time, but as an emperor, he was also a decisive and ruthless person, so he would never give up.

In order to make Lan Qingwu feel better, Emperor Shenwu specially took Lan Qingwu to Wenquan Royal Manor.
