"They are all books on women's virtues," Concubine Shu quickly explained. In this society where women are virtuous without talent, women are not allowed to show that they are capable.
Putting down the book, the emperor suddenly asked: "My dear concubine, what do you think of the recent impeachment and assassination cases in the court?"
Concubine Shu's body trembled and her face suddenly turned pale. These days, she was most afraid of the emperor asking her this question.
Say you don’t know? Impossible!
Not to mention the concubines, even the maids in the laundry room knew about these two cases.
Expressing your own opinions? Even more impossible! Interference in politics is strictly prohibited in the harem
"I have heard something." Concubine Shu was very frightened and did not dare to say more than a word.
"Then, what do you think?" The emperor pressed forward step by step, not giving Concubine Shu a chance to breathe.
"I am a woman, I don't know anything about the affairs of the court, and I dare not have any opinions." Concubine Shu's answer was watertight. It was so cloudy and foggy that she didn't say anything.
"Hahaha!" The emperor suddenly laughed loudly, making everyone around him confused.
Concubine Shu was shocked and didn't know what she said wrongly.
But, she didn't dare to raise her head, didn't dare to look at the emperor's face, didn't dare to look for answers in the emperor
Looking at Concubine Shu, who always had a low eyebrow and was submissive, the emperor felt that he really hated her!
On the surface, this woman was obedient and obedient to him, but in her heart, she didn't care about him at all.
At the critical moment, she turned out to be like those ministers, saying something was equivalent to saying nothing.
Because she can't say it because she's afraid that if she does, it will affect her own interests.
Does such a woman love him? Definitely not!
To put it bluntly, she is no different from Concubine De and Imperial Concubine, she only wants to find a future for herself!
The emperor sat there blankly thinking, but Concubine Shu did not dare to make any mistake and stood aside without saying a word.
Time passed bit by bit. The emperor seemed to have a lot to think about and completely forgot that there were still a group of people standing around him.
After a sleepless night, Concubine Shu felt that every part of her body was exhausted. However, the emperor did not speak and no one dared to disturb him.
Concubine Shu could only grit her teeth and hold on.
Finally, dawn breaks
An eunuch from Cining Palace walked in hurriedly and reported back: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has invited you."
The emperor woke up from his meditation, looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, and said: "Tell the Queen Mother that I will take over the Cining Palace right now."
