Qi Jingqin's voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it could be heard clearly by others. Not only Su Shangqing, who was standing a hundred steps away, but also the surrounding courtiers. They were overjoyed to see the emperor returning to the palace on his first day.

However, the Emperor was so intimate with another woman in front of the Empress. Everyone present was frightened, fearing that the Empress would turn against the Emperor.

Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji looked at each other. Liang Ji went to pick up the emperor in person. He should be the first among the officials to see the emperor. He wanted to know what happened.

At that time, when Liang Ji went to Linshui Village to pick up the emperor on the order of the empress, the cave was too narrow to pass people through. The golden palanquin stopped at Lingshan, and Liang Ji led the people in with a small boat.

I thought I was just going to take the emperor back to the palace, but the emperor wanted to take Su Shangqing with him. Chu Qi told Liang Ji privately that the empress did not like Su Shangqing and asked Liang Ji to find a way to refuse.

Liang Ji didn't know about Su Shangqing, but when he saw Chao Qi saying this, he must have wanted to persuade the emperor not to take Su Shangqing with him, and on the order of the empress, he brought ten thousand taels of gold to thank Su Shangqing for saving his life.

These ten thousand taels of gold were not taken from the national treasury, but were taken out by the Queen from the savings of the Liang family and her own inner treasury.

At that time, Liang Ji said to Qi Jingqin: "Your Majesty, Miss Su has grown up in Linshui Village. If she goes out rashly, she may not be able to adapt. Besides, she has no relatives in Shangjing and may not be willing to do so."

Going out. Besides, the Queen has already given her ten thousand taels of gold, so there is no need to bring Miss Su into the palace, right?"

Liang Ji said carefully. He probably knew that after Su Shangqing rescued the emperor, the emperor had been staying with Su Shangqing in Linshui Village for the past four months.

The emperor was unwilling to say too much, and that was all they could know. They didn't even know that the emperor had lost his memory in the past four months.

Seeing what Liang Ji said, Qi Jingqin only acted very indifferent. He looked at the ten thousand taels of gold and said: "If she is only in Linshui Village, she will not be able to spend these ten thousand taels of gold in her lifetime. Then if she leaves Linshui Village, go

Why not go to the capital? Besides, Su Shangqing is my benefactor, so you only care about the Queen's safety and don't take me seriously?"

After hearing this, Liang Ji and Chu Qi quickly knelt down and shouted for forgiveness.

The emperor is still the emperor after all, what can they do as ministers?

Su Shangqing listened to them talking in the room. She was really moved by the emperor's defense of himself.

But Su Shangqing is not stupid. She knows that Qi Jingqin's attitude has changed so much, so there must be something redeeming about her. The only difference she can think of between herself and the Queen is that she can have children.

But that’s okay, I am not as good as the Queen in every aspect, but I finally have something that can compare to the Queen.

Liang Ji thought that if Liang Huanqing really cared, she would tell him, but since she didn't say anything, and the emperor insisted so hard, he could only listen to the emperor's words.

In this way, Liang Ji had another carriage prepared with a curtain, and took Su Shangqing back to the palace along with the emperor's sedan chair and ceremonial guard.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with the emperor refuting the queen's face in front of all the courtiers, Liang Ji didn't know what to do.

Qin Yuandao looked at Liang Ji and asked what happened. They didn't know what happened, so they saw that the emperor and the queen were going to go directly to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accept the worship of all the ministers, but now they are waiting for the other party.

A woman.

No one knew who this woman was, so she accepted the worship together with the emperor and queen. Everyone still felt something strange in their hearts.

Liang Ji looked at Qin Yuandao and shook his head. He didn't know how to tell Qin Yuandao about this kind of thing now. There were too many things involved.

It is obvious that the emperor and Su Shangqing have been together for so long, and their relationship must be extraordinary.

Everyone will know what happened. The emperor and Su Shangqing have been together in the four months since his disappearance. As long as a thoughtful person thinks about it carefully, the emperor has spent more time with Su Shangqing than he has with the Queen.

It will take even longer.

The four months they spent together day and night were much longer than the short time he spent with the Queen.

Qin Yuandao knew Liang Huanqing's temper and was worried that she would act impulsively. It was obvious that the emperor would not express such favor and love to a woman in public. Qin Yuandao knew that monarchs were like this and would not expose themselves to anything.

Tell others about your preferences.

But what Qi Jingqin did was a bit obvious, as if he wanted to deliberately anger the Queen.

Qin Yuandao was worried that Liang Huanqing would really be deceived by Qi Jingqin.

Qin Yuandao knew very well that Liang Huanqing had been in power for so long and promoted all the capable soldiers of the Liang family. Although she really had no choice, at least she could trust the people of the Liang family. Plus, with Liang Ji here, they

It won't do anything too extreme, and Liang Huanqing feels at ease when using it.

But after the Liang family's power expanded, Qi Jingqin would definitely have some doubts.

Qin Yuandao was scheming. He looked at Su Shangqing and could tell at a glance what Qi Jingqin was planning, which was to use Su Shangqing to contain Liang Huanqing.

Qi Jingqin will eventually get back the power of the imperial court, but as long as Liang Huanqing still has some power in her hands in the harem, she will not fade out of people's sight, and the history of Qi Jingqin's humiliation will not disappear.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuandao understood everything. He knew what Qi Jingqin was planning in his heart, but after knowing it, he couldn't organize it all by himself, so he looked at Liang Huanqing anxiously, worried that she would cause a big trouble.

.

In the entire square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the only people who could be happy watching all this were the clan members.

When they looked at Su Shangqing, they knew that she would definitely join the harem. If anyone could make Liang Huanqing's life difficult, it was probably Su Shangqing. Among these four months, they had been under house arrest by Liang Huanqing for more than one month.

Among the relatives in the family, if anyone wants to have a hard time with Liang Huanqing the most, they are the only ones.

Seeing the emperor reaching out to Su Shangqing in front of all the courtiers and asking her to come to him, the clan members felt happy.

The Queen is just a Queen, can she still change the world?

After just one glance, several clan members looked at each other, and it seemed that everyone was thinking the same thing.

Ji Ziqi, Lu Zhongting, and Tang Shangwen stood together, looking a little out of place.

Whether it is Lu Zhongting or Tang Shangwen, although they were ranked second and third in the imperial examination, based on their criss-cross relationships in the court, they knew very well what the emperor meant.
