Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 18: The servile and perverted Zhan Doudou, the ministers' panic

No matter how big a mistake Chang Ninghou made, he was still her brother. What was Zhan Doudou trying to do? To seize power? But their conflict was all acted, so what power was she trying to seize?

"Marquis Changning was taken to the prison and is under the guard of the Imperial Guards. No one is seeing him. His Majesty has been in the Pepper Room in the afternoon and has gone to bed now."

The maid replied in a trembling voice: "The Queen also issued an order that Your Majesty should rest well as he is busy with state affairs. Unless it is a major event of the state, you are not to be disturbed!"

If the Queen Mother still doesn’t understand after hearing this, then she is a fool.

What's the point of worrying about state affairs? Zhan Doudou has no real power. What else is there for her to do besides reviewing memorials? This is obviously an excuse, the purpose is to prevent her!

"Queen, Your Majesty, it's fine, very fine!" The Queen Mother held her forehead with her hand, her tone full of anger.

Although she was not clear about the whole story, she knew that Zhan Doudou was behind the arrest of Marquis Changning, or to be more precise, Chen Luo's shadow.

She knew Zhan Doudou and knew that Zhan Doudou would not do such a thing with her personality, so this matter could only be led by the Queen Chen Luo.

The Queen Mother had a feeling that everything was out of control, which made her panic and angry. In a rage, she swept everything on the dressing table to the ground. The palace maids and eunuchs who heard the noise fell to their knees.

The Queen Mother's beautiful eyes were filled with anger: "I want to see what you guys are planning to do!"

······
The news of Marquis Changning's arrest was spread deliberately by the Embroidered Uniform Guard and soon spread throughout the capital city. For a time, all officials, big and small, felt insecure.

They were afraid that the Embroidered Spring Swords of the Embroidered Uniform Guards would be the next to fall on their necks.

Amid their fear, the next morning court session arrived as scheduled.

In the Qinzheng Hall, all the ministers looked pale and had dark circles under their eyes.

Today was different from the past. The general Uesugi Tora, who had been on sick leave, actually came to court, which was a rare event.

Although the ministers were confused, they did not have time to think too much. The Jinyiwei was like a knife hanging over their heads, and the most important thing now was to find out what was going on.

So after greeting Uesugi Tora, the ministers gathered in groups of three or four to discuss in low voices.

From time to time, someone would cast a worried look at the curtain on the left. Why hasn't the Queen Mother come yet? Could something have really happened?

Uesugi Tora saw all the small actions of these ministers and became more and more disdainful in his heart. If he expected this group of good-for-nothings to govern the country, was there still hope for Northern Qi?

But this has nothing to do with him. He just wants to rescue his adoptive father. Before that, he must return to the border. He doesn't care about anything else.

He also knew about the actions of the Jinyiwei last night, but he didn't care. The reason for coming to the court was not to find out the truth, but for other reasons.

"The Empress Dowager is here!!" the eunuch's hoarse voice sounded.

The ministers who were still worried were relieved when they saw the figure appearing behind the curtain. No matter how big the problem was, as long as the queen dowager was still there, everything would be fine!
The queen mother looked tired, with dark circles under her eyes that could not be covered up even with powder. Her eyelids began to twitch as soon as she sat down, and it was obvious that she had not slept all night last night.

But she still kept herself awake, determined to find out what Zhan Doudou wanted to do no matter what!
Haitang Duoduo came to her side at some point, which also meant that Zhan Doudou was here.

Sure enough, when the ministers were still whispering, the eunuch's hoarse voice sounded again: "Your Majesty, the Queen is here!!" Why is the Queen here too? ?

Before they had time to think about this, the ministers all knelt on the ground and said, "Long live your majesty, and a thousand years and a thousand years for the queen!"

Zhan Doudou and Chen Luo held hands and walked through the ministers who were kneeling in two rows, followed by Zhuque holding the Embroidered Spring Sword.

The two walked all the way to the dragon throne, and Zhan Doudou swept the cushion with his dragon robe in a rather servile manner: "Luo'er, please sit down. This is the cushion I specially added for you!"

Chen Luo shook his head in amusement, and sat down without any hesitation, patting the place beside him and saying, "Your Majesty, please sit down too."

Zhan Doudou smiled like a husky. As soon as he finished speaking, she sat down immediately, moved her butt, and leaned closer to him.

Chen Luo looked at her unhappily, feeling helpless about her increasingly outrageous behavior.

She's obviously a woman, why does she act like a pervert? Is it because she's wearing women's clothes?

The ministers kneeling on the ground could not see Zhan Doudou's servile behavior, but the empress dowager and Haitang Duoduo behind the curtain saw it clearly, and for a moment, both of them had strange expressions.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost broke the handle of the Phoenix Chair. That was the Dragon Chair. Yesterday was fine, but what happened today? The harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Even she dared to rule behind the scenes. Why did Chen Luo have the right?
Haitang Duoduo was a little suspicious. Why did the two women give her the feeling that they were in love? And seeing their intimacy, she felt a little sad.
"My dear ministers, please stand up. The Queen and my new love Yan'er do not want to be separated for a moment. You ministers should understand this feeling, right? Just tell me if you have anything to say." Zhan Doudou said with a smile on his face.

The ministers' mouths twitched a few times. They were speechless about this reason, but they did not dare to say more.

If it were in the past, they would probably scold Zhan Doudou without hesitation and teach him a lesson that the harem should not interfere in government affairs.

But now there is a knife on their heads, so they dare not say a few more words. They are really afraid that Qinglong will bring the Jinyiwei to kick down the door tonight, especially when they see Zhuque standing under the dragon throne and dozing with the Embroidered Spring Sword in his arms, they dare not say anything more.

Uesugi Tora sneered, showing great disdain for these ministers who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He looked up at Chen Luo sitting on the dragon throne, and an uncontrollable flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, followed by a deep sense of regret.

It is really sad that such an ambitious woman is trapped in this deep palace and becomes a canary!
While he was looking at Chen Luo, Chen Luo was also looking at him. Looking at Uesugi Tiger, who was emitting a strong murderous aura, Chen Luo nodded secretly. He was indeed a fierce general.

If they can conquer him, they will have controlled half of the Northern Qi military power. However, conquering Uesugi Tiger is not an easy task and requires long-term planning.

The Minister of Justice stepped out and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, Marquis Changning was taken away by the Royal Guards last night. Do you know?"

If there is anyone who least wants to see the Jinyiwei become important again, it must be the Ministry of Justice. Not only do the Jinyiwei's duties are similar to those of the Ministry of Justice, but their power is also greater than that of the Ministry of Justice.

It can be said that with the presence of the Jinyiwei, the power of the Ministry of Justice would be more than half reduced, so the neutral party, the Minister of Justice, would be the first to jump out and inquire.

Upon seeing this, the other ministers pricked up their ears and silently waited for Zhan Doudou's response.

The empress dowager behind the curtain was also tightly grasping the phoenix carving on the wind chair, her heart full of nervousness and anticipation. Even though she knew that this was the work of Zhan Doudou and Chen Luo, she still hoped that Zhan Doudou didn't know about it.

In this way, everything is still under her control, and Zhan Doudou is still her obedient son...daughter.
