Chapter 614: Empress Dowager Lu Huan(1/2)
"What will happen if the mother is dead?"
As soon as Wang Chong said this, He Taigao was frightened and quickly knelt down and shouted: "Emperor, old slave... old slave is frightened!"
Although the emperor is the biggest in this world, the emperor actually lives a lot of hardships.
Because Wang Chong's situation is now undermined, not only is there no one in the Chao Court supporter, but even if there are loyal ministers, they will be suppressed by a group of corrupt officials.
Not to mention the harem, the power in the palace is basically in the hands of the empress dowager.
The emperor is obedient on weekdays, but the empress dowager won’t do anything, but if he is disobedient, Wang Chong might die as unexplained as his ex-girlfriends.
"Big companion, I'm just worried about my mother's health, so I'll just chat with you." Wang Chong said, "Get up and talk."
"Abide by the order."
He Taigao wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt that what the emperor said now was too bold from time to time, which put a lot of pressure on him.
"Tell me, what will happen if the Queen Mother dies in poor health? Don't worry, only you and I know about this. I now regard you as my confidant."
"Uh... the Empress Dowager is in charge of the Twelve Inner Prisons, and the harem is under her control. If something happens to the Queen Mother, the Twelve Inner Prisons may not be so obedient. Especially the Chief of the Twelve Inner Prisons Andelli, who is not very good at dealing with the old slave."
He Taigao made it clear that with the Queen Mother here, Andelli was still obedient.
But when the empress dowager died, Andelli was not so obedient, and he might help the treacherous ministers outside to monitor him.
Of course, Andelli is a eunuch after all, and it is easy for him to deal with him, but the problem is that he will startle the enemy and attract suspicion.
In addition, Andelli is also a martial arts master. If Andelli is involved in a fight against Andelli, he will be in danger.
However, after hearing He Taigao's words, Wang Chong felt that the only variable of the Empress Dowager was dead was Andeli, which was acceptable.
"I'm going to Feng Palace."
The Feng Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager Lu Huan and the most luxurious place in the harem. It not only has the widest area, but also has extremely gorgeous decorations. The eunuchs and palace maids in the Feng Palace have a total of more than fifty people.
In Wang Chong's impression, only except the Queen Mother can we truly make the harem more peaceful.
………………………………………
In Feng Palace, Lu Huan was blowing hot tea, and there were a group of palace maids and eunuchs standing on both sides.
Although Lu Huan can't use so many people at all, she just likes this feeling.
In her opinion, he was the queen mother of the empress dowager and the emperor's mother.
She also knew that the Great Flame Dynasty is in turmoil and the sign of national destruction is emerging, but so what?
They are the royal family. If the people at the bottom cause trouble, there will be a large army in their Dayan Dynasty that can suppress them. Whoever is disobedient is killed.
In short, she cannot be a bad person as the queen mother.
"The Emperor is here."
The eunuch at the door shouted in a duck-like voice.
"Son-member, please see the mother." Wang Chong walked in and bowed.
"The emperor is becoming more and more capable now. He actually sent Concubine Li to death. Do you know that Concubine Li is the concubine chosen by the palace for you personally, and was once your favorite. If you sent her to death, how can I maintain my face and how can the royal family remain? How should outsiders evaluate the emperor?"
Wang Chongyi passed by, and Lu Huan began to question.
In the royal family, the so-called mother-son friendship is a joke. Sometimes there are countless things that kill each other between father and son, mother and son, and brothers for the sake of power.
Wang Chong has not been in the palace, so he naturally understands this.
Wang Chong's expression remained unchanged, and he ordered the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides: "You go out, I have something to talk to the Queen Mother in detail."
"No need to go out. These people are my confidants. I can trust them. If there is anything, the emperor will just say it."
This will not give Wang Chong face.
Wang Chong had a cold face. It was definitely impossible to take action now. So many people killed Lu Huan. It was rumored that the ministers could swear to death. Who else would be willing to do anything in the future?
He may die at that time.
So, Wang Chong could only say: "Concubine Li was determined to die. Seeing that she was eager to give up, I gave her death to her."
"Just, this is just Concubine Li's behavior for a while. The emperor should have a broad mind. How can he have a good understanding of women?"
"I know, does the Queen Mother have anything else to do? I have something to do with it."
"Go to the emperor, I don't want this to happen again in the future."
"Um."
Wang Chong responded simply and turned his head to leave.
Now Wang Zhong’s murderous intent is even heavier, but he cannot kill people all at once.
In ancient times, it was a society that paid great attention to filial piety. Governing the world with "filial piety" was the foundation of many dynasties, and you can be spared if you commit a death sentence.
But if you act unfilial, you will be beheaded even if you make merit. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, a prince in a country reported that his father had rebelled. He was originally a meritorious person, but he violated his filial piety and was eventually killed.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, where to have a meal today?"
He Taigao sighed in his heart. He naturally felt uncomfortable when he saw Wang Chong being defeated by the Empress Dowager just now, but as a slave, he could not share the worries of the emperor. He could only hope that Wang Chong could go to some concubines to get comfort.
As he said that, He Taigao took out a string of signs, a total of 8.
There were actually 9, but Concubine Li was sentenced to death, so naturally there were only 8 brands left.
"Your Majesty, turn the brand."
Wang Chong smacked his lips. Although the dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, he really enjoyed being the emperor.
After seeing the sign of Queen Zhao Luan, Wang Chong said: "Let's go to the queen's place."
"According to the order, I will let you inform the queen."
He Taigao was very happy about Wang Chong's decision.
It's very simple. The queen is the most frugal in the entire harem. Everyone knows this, and she is also very considerate of these slaves.
Therefore, the Queen Zhao Luan is deeply loved by the slaves. In He Taigao's mind, the Queen can be the one who can be the mother of the world.
It’s a pity that the emperor used to think that Zhao Luan was too tall and did not like Zhao Luan very much. He married Zhao Luan purely to gain support from the Zhao family army.
Now the emperor is beginning to visit the queen, and He Taigao feels that the emperor has really changed.
"No need to notify me, I'll go there."
Wang Chong didn't like some red tape, so he walked out after saying that.
"Come on the horse, Luan's harem."
A huge team set out.
Because Wang Chong did not hide it, the entire harem soon learned about Wang Chong's trip to Luan's harem.
Many people who know the original owner Luo Zhao's temperament feel incredible.
Concubine Li was sentenced to death during the day and to the Queen Zhao Luan at night.
You should know that since she married Zhao Luan, the emperor has never touched her. Zhao Luan is nominally the queen, but in fact it is almost the same as incarnating into the cold palace.
Luan's harem.
"Empress, the meal is ready."
A small-looking palace maid came in with a dish and soup.
Because Zhao Luan was not in power, the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated very little food and clothing to Luan's harem, which can only meet the needs of life.
Therefore, Zhao Luan and the palace maids here can only eat some simple food. Fortunately, Zhao Luan was well educated when she was a child and was not luxurious in life.
"Empress, I'll serve you rice."
The palace maid said sensibly, serving the meal, Ning'er sighed: "Empress, I went to pick up the meal just now and learned a lot of news."
"What news, shocking?"
Because there are few people here, Zhao Luan still doesn't know that Concubine Li was sentenced to death by the king.
"Concubine Li... was hanged by the emperor and hung herself in the room. Now her body is still hanging on the beam..."
"What!"
Zhao Luan's face changed drastically. She also knew that Concubine Li was deeply favored by the emperor, but she did not expect that she would be sentenced to death by the emperor. This was simply unbelievable.
"Empress, I was also surprised to hear this news, but the news was very true. The palace maids and eunuchs around Concubine Li were allocated."
"Yeah, is that?"
Zhao Luan sighed slightly, and it turns out that he was accompanied by the king as if he was a tiger, and the emperor's personality was unpredictable.
Thinking of this, she felt even more sad about her life.
She didn't understand why the emperor didn't like her. She clearly had her father sacrificed his life for the country, and she was all dedicated to the country, but the emperor never even looked at her directly.
Even the emperor didn't touch her on the night of her wedding!
