"Perhaps the imperial court is busy with affairs, so it's okay if you don't come." Seeing Princess Chaoyang's unhappy look, Concubine Liang quickly said with a smile: "I'll go see the emperor tomorrow, and it won't be too late to reminisce about the past."
"You haven't returned to the capital for three years, so you can keep your composure." Princess Chaoyang looked at Concubine Liang, looked at her pursed lips and smiled and sighed helplessly: "Now that the emperor has become a queen, you are not in a hurry.
?"
"The emperor has been on the throne for more than three years. It is appropriate to establish a queen. The emptiness of the queen will inevitably lead to fights in the palace." Concubine Liang smiled helplessly and looked at Princess Chaoyang with an arched eyebrow and said: "Princess, you don't have to think too much. In fact, you and I should go first."
It’s better to meet the Queen, so that the Emperor won’t be in trouble.”
Princess Chaoyang couldn't help but rolled her eyes, raised her hand and tapped her eyebrows and said: "You know how to feel sorry for the emperor's brother, but you don't know how to feel sorry for yourself. I didn't want to return to the capital. If it weren't for you, I would stay at the imperial mausoleum.
Too old."
She pursed her lips and stared at her and said: "In my heart, this princess, you are the best candidate for the queen. It's a pity that if you want to ascend to the throne with your background, you must give birth to an heir for the emperor. The mother is more valuable than the son."
I just had the opportunity, and I insisted on you accompanying me to the imperial mausoleum, so that when I return to the palace this time, the emperor brother can promote you to a higher position."
"You're good, why are you still speaking for the queen?" Princess Chaoyang snorted. She just deliberately didn't go to see the queen, but within three years, a woman who came out of nowhere actually ascended to the throne?
"I have inquired about it. Our empress has acted very arrogantly and willfully since she entered the palace. Even the emperor did not control her much. She seemed to be pampered and flamboyant." Princess Chaoyang looked at Concubine Liang and said: "You have been here for three years.
If you are not in the palace, it is inevitable that the queen will think you are easy to bully, so I will support you."
After listening to Princess Chaoyang's words, Concubine Liang frowned helplessly. She looked at Princess Chaoyang seriously and said: "Princess, I don't care whether I can be the queen or not. As long as I can stay with the emperor, I am the queen."
I’m satisfied.”
Princess Chaoyang sneered, took her hand and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I know you are infatuated. It's no wonder that the emperor brother is so indifferent and doesn't care about anyone. Even so, you can still be so infatuated with me, and you are the only one."
”
Concubine Liang blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment, smiling and saying: "The Emperor is not unkind, it's just..."
"It's just my nature, I don't mind."
"I can't help you. I was tired all the way back to Beijing. Let's have a good rest today."
Princess Chaoyang didn't say much, so she dined with the good concubine and rested, then went to see the emperor the next day.
And the emperor at this moment——
He mysteriously waved to Wang Chengxiang, gesturing for him to come forward.
"What are your orders from the emperor?" Wang Chengxiang walked over, bent down and asked quickly.
"You think of a way to steal the Queen's Phoenix Seal from me." Zhao Zongheng said with a serious look on his face.
Wang Chengxiang: "???"
Huh?
He opened his eyes wide and looked at his emperor, and for a moment he doubted his own IQ. If you want the queen's phoenix seal, can't you just take it back?
The majestic emperor deserves to steal!?
"Slave, I don't quite understand what the emperor means." Wang Chengxiang looked at the emperor cautiously and asked: "What does the Emperor Fengyin want...?"
"I don't want the queen to know that I took this phoenix seal." Zhao Zongheng glanced at Wang Chengxiang and said.
As long as the phoenix seal can be stolen, when the queen wants to give up the throne again, she can't get the phoenix seal, and she won't be able to abdicate voluntarily!
Zhao Zongheng curled his lips slightly, feeling that he was so smart.
He raised his eyes and looked at Wang Chengxiang and said: "Go quickly, don't let others know about this, or I will take your head."
Wang Chengxiang's little heart trembled, and he silently lowered his head and agreed.
After leaving the gate of Xuanming Hall, I was still confused. I didn’t know what the emperor’s move meant. If he wanted to deprive the queen of her seal, why bother?
Obviously our emperor does not want to depose the queen, but he wants to steal the Phoenix Seal?
This is really hard for Wang Chengxiang. He is just a slave. How could he sneak into the queen's chamber and steal the phoenix seal without being discovered!
Wang Chengxiang thought hard for a long time and finally decided to hand over this important task to his apprentice Luo Jin.
If he can't bear it, let his apprentice come.
Luo Jin:…………
You are really my biological father.
Luo Jin often visits Fengwu Palace these days, and he is quite familiar with the place. Suyun and Su Yongde were not surprised when they saw Luo Jin. Instead, they greeted him warmly, as if they were already on one side.
Luo Jin never expected that one day he would wear night clothes and sneak into Fengwu Palace. With his familiarity with Fengwu Palace, he easily avoided the patrolling guards and entered the Queen's palace.
, I couldn't help but beat the drum in my heart, thinking to myself that he is here today on the emperor's order, we are not afraid.
The phoenix seal found in Si Ningchi had not been put away yet, so it was left on the table, which saved Luo Jin the trouble of rummaging through it.
He moved lightly into the inner hall. He had just touched the phoenix seal with his hand. Suddenly, his eyes were blurred. The cold blade was directly pressed against his throat. He could still vaguely feel the sharp blade cutting through his skin.
The touch made his scalp explode in an instant, and he hurriedly shouted: "Empress! It's a slave!"
He was so scared that if he spoke slowly, his throat would be slit with a knife!
"Shen Ting." Shen Ting, who was standing quietly behind Luo Jin, heard the call and let go of his hand, slowly removing the blade.
"Mother, please forgive me..." As soon as the knife was removed, Luo Jin fell to his knees on the ground, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
"Luo Jin?" Si Ningchi walked out from the curtain. Looking at Luo Jin who was so frightened that tears came out, he was very surprised. He raised his eyebrows and looked at him with lowered eyes and said: "I don't know, you still have A hobby that seeks death?"
Luo Jin almost cried when he heard this, and kowtowed quickly: "The Queen, please forgive me, my servant, my servant has no choice..."
Si Ningchi walked to a seat and sat down. He curled his lips and looked at Luo Jin's panic, raised his chin and said, "Come here, tell me how coerced you have been."
Luo Jin felt bitter in his heart, thinking that the emperor had decreed not to reveal the matter, and that the queen...
He secretly glanced at Shen Ting, who was standing beside him holding the blade, and thought carefully about the difference between dying later and dying immediately, and he suddenly became honest.
"Your Majesty, it was the Emperor who asked the slaves to steal the Phoenix Seal." Luo Jin looked up at Si Ningchi and said with a sad face: "The Emperor's decree, I dare not disobey!"
"..." Si Ningchi was stunned when he heard this. The emperor asked him to come!?
