"With the support of the Marquis, all of us are willing to die for you, the empress. The position of the master of the harem will definitely not escape your grasp..."
Deputy Manager Lin became more and more excited as he talked, until he saw Concubine Chen's cold and emotionless eyes.
"Empress?"
Deputy General Manager Lin swallowed, his heart pounding.
"Get out!"
Concubine Chen said impatiently.
Deputy General Manager Lin opened his mouth, not even daring to argue, and immediately retreated dejectedly.
"This useless thing!"
Concubine Chen had to admit that Deputy General Manager Lin was really eager for quick success and had no foresight to assess the situation.
Is the rear position so easy to win?
She used to feel that she had it within easy reach, but now she knew that it was a target. With her current situation, if she really went up there, she might face many open and cold arrows, and she might not even know how she would die by then.
Yang Fan on the side couldn't help but said: "Did Dongchang really tell His Majesty the so-called evil dragon bureau in Huayan Temple?"
"Who knows, but Dongchang is not so loyal. Their calculations are shrewd!"
Concubine Chen sneered and shook the small fan in her hand, "Furthermore, Queen Wang is His Majesty's first wife, what good will it do to Dongchang to overthrow Queen Wang? Besides, if we don't get close to each other, once His Majesty comes back to his senses,
If you regret it, who will risk your life when the time comes?"
Yang Fan smiled bitterly: "So, I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter?"
"That's right, maybe Queen Wang personally directed another good show! Just because she doesn't want to have anything to do with the Huayan Temple incident."
Concubine Chen knew it well.
A true Taoist, whose soul is traveling and separated in two places, can naturally find an excuse to ignore the matter with Huayan Temple.
Unless the opponent's soul is captured on the spot, who would dare to touch her easily with the identity and status of Queen Wang?
Mother of a nation, what a joke.
Since ancient times, deposing and establishing a queen has been a major event, which may even shake the foundation of the country. The number of times this has been done since ancient times can only be counted on one's fingers.

Just when the undercurrent was surging in the harem, people from Dongchang took the lead in standing up and denounced such remarks, and even arrested several of the communicators in prison, and stated that they would thoroughly investigate the source of the rumors.
For a moment, there was a rumble in the palace.
Later, some news came out from Kunning Palace, saying that the Queen was ill, but the imperial doctor could not find the cause. After His Majesty personally inquired, he became furious.
The object of anger is the imperial doctor, not the king and queen.
With so much news coming out, the turmoil was slowly subsided, but Concubine Chen felt that something was wrong.
If nothing happened, how could you clarify and explain so repeatedly? Could it be that something really happened during this period that outsiders don't know about?
She muttered secretly in her heart.
Kunning Palace.
Zhu Gaolie sat on the seat in front of Queen Wang's bed, his serious face full of concern: "Xiu'er, how are you feeling now?"
Queen Wang bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm in better health. Maybe I caught the wind and cold at night, but now I'm fine."
"That's good, then I'll feel relieved."
Zhu Gaolie nodded, with a look of relief on his face, "I still have some official business to deal with, so I won't stay any longer. You have a good rest, and I will come to see you another day."
"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty."
With that said, she was about to get up, but Zhu Gaolie held her down and asked her to rest more before leaving.
Peng An followed Zhu Gaolie expressionlessly until he left Kunning Palace, and then whispered: "After the physical mirror, the Queen's spirit showed no abnormality, her breath did not change, and the dragon energy in her body
It is so rich that no one can replace her. Maybe the Huayan Temple incident really has nothing to do with the Queen."
Zhu Gaolie nodded: "Then I'm relieved, but you still can't take it lightly and send people to keep watching here."
"Yes, Your Majesty
."
Zhu Gaolie paused for a moment and continued to ask: "Has there been any movement in the prince's life recently?"
Peng An said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness is diligent in political affairs and has been praised by some ministers. However, he emphasizes civility over military affairs, and some military commanders and lords in the court are slightly dissatisfied."
Zhu Gaolie didn't say anything and continued to move forward in silence. Peng An also had the sense to say nothing more. He held a whisk in his hand and silently followed Zhu Gaolie back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Peng An, on the other hand, stayed outside the palace.
"The Nielong Bureau has come out. It's not like someone wants to extend His Majesty's life. It's more likely that someone wants to use the destiny fruit produced by the Nine Sons Nielong Bureau to take away his destiny!"
"Substitute? Whose life? Your Majesty, or someone else?"
Peng An's eyes were deep and cold.
No matter who you are, don't let us catch you, otherwise you will die without a burial place!
"Go to Jiangnan quickly to investigate the Wang family."
He whispered something, and a figure quickly escaped in the darkness.
On this side, seeing Zhu Gaolie leaving, Queen Wang's face immediately turned cold, her eyes became deep, and her eyes were full of ridicule.
"Come here, give me a list of the newly promoted concubines in the past few years. I want to take a closer look."
"Yes, Queen."
The maid standing beside her responded and quickly retreated.
Although I don't know what Queen Wang wants this thing for, the list is still easy to find. After all, as the master of the harem, these things are no secret to her.
Soon, the roster was sent over.
Empress Wang leaned on the pillow and glanced at the roster. The book with pictures also recorded the basic information of these concubines, including age, birth date, origin, etc.
She quickly read through the concubine information on the roster.
There were a lot of concubines, but after a little recall, she matched some of the important concubines with the powerful ministers in the court.
As for some unimportant concubines, the same Not being noticed by her.
"Come, let's hold a banquet at Kunning Palace tonight. Please help me invite some people over..."
Soon, Queen Wang announced a series of names, including Concubine Xiao Shu, Concubine Chen, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Hui and others.
These people have one thing in common: they all entered the palace in recent years.
Soon, the post was sent to various palaces.
“Queen Wang’s post?”
Concubine Chen took the post, threw it to the ground with a wave of her hand, and sneered, "I don't want to go to her banquet, and I don't dare to go."
Ever since she knew that the other party was a Taoist master that night, Concubine Chen had been more vigilant about him. Her own Taoist cultivation could no longer be relied upon by her.
So, what she wants now is to stay as far away from the other party as possible.
Yang Fan smiled bitterly: "Then we won't go?"
Concubine Chen was speechless: "Don't go? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of our empress? Go, I want to see what she wants to do!"
Concubine Chen finally made up her mind and gritted her teeth and decided to go. Since there were many people invited, she did not believe that the other party would play tricks on so many people at the same time.
Soon, it was dinner time.
Seven or eight newly promoted concubines, who were also favored by His Majesty in recent years, gathered in Kunning Palace, and someone from the palace led them to sit down.
After the ceremony, Queen Wang's eyes swept over their bodies.
There was something strange in his eyes.
Yang Fan, who was standing behind Concubine Chen, glanced at Queen Wang secretly and accidentally noticed the look in her eyes, which made him slightly startled.
This look!
Why does it give him an extremely familiar feeling?
etc!
Isn't this the look in the eyes of a man who has been single for decades when he suddenly sees a beautiful woman? He is like a hungry ghost in lust, with an intense desire to eat her alive!
"It's weird."
Yang Fan couldn't help but feel the drum in his heart and began to mutter.
