Lu Zan's eyes calmly paused on the lotus hairpin for a moment, and then he asked quietly: "You came to see me, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Zhaoyi felt his gaze lingering on her, and was secretly proud that she would definitely seduce Lu Zan to sleep with her today.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has something that needs to be said to the Emperor alone."

She said in a coquettish voice.

On the side, as soon as Wang Zhong heard this and saw that Lu Zan did not stop him, he immediately told all the palace servants in the palace to retreat with his eyes.

There were only two of them left in the palace.

This was not the first time that Zhao Zhaoyi had served Lu Zan. At this moment, he boldly stepped forward, looking at Lu Zan with roving eyes, and quickly took off the outer cloak with his hands.

The cloak fell to the ground.

She was wearing a sheer gauze palace dress, embroidered with large white lotus flowers, which made her look less bright and more fresh and refined.

However, when Lu Zan saw her actions, he immediately thought of Jing Shu.

Is she deliberately imitating Jing Shu?

When he thought of this, Lu Zan's eyes became a little colder.

"What's the matter with you?" he asked quietly.

"Your Majesty, my concubines have heard about it." Zhao Zhaoyi said softly, sitting next to him, putting her hands on his shoulders, and said with charming eyes, "My cousin died for the sake of the king, you You must feel very sad, right?"

When Lu Zan heard this, his brows immediately wrinkled.

After concentrating for a moment, she finally remembered that the cousin she was talking about was Prince Duan's beloved concubine Meng!

"I know that my cousin, such a magnificent person, is extremely sad when she dies. Your Majesty, can I make a request to you?"

Just listen to Zhao Zhaoyi continue to hold his throat and speak sweetly.

"What request do you want to make?" Lu Zan asked patiently with an indifferent expression.

"I would like to ask the emperor to take me back to the Zhao family to visit my grandmother. Your Majesty, you know that my cousin was raised by my grandmother. Now that my cousin has passed away, my grandmother must be very sad...and my uncle, King Pingnan, He was stationed at the border for the emperor, and his only daughter passed away. I don’t know how heartbroken he would be if he knew the news... So I also asked for a reward for my uncle, so that my uncle could know that your emperor always remembers his merits for stationing at the border. of."

Zhao Zhaoyi's expression was appropriately sad.

After she finished speaking, she secretly waited proudly to receive Lu Zan's praise and favor.

However, the next moment, all he heard was a sneer from the emperor.

Zhao Zhaoyi didn't know why, so when he looked up, he saw a thin layer of anger gathering between Lu Zan's cold brows.

Just listen to him say coldly:

"Before Meng committed suicide, she left a suicide note saying that I had robbed her and forced her to die. She even ordered people to publicize the contents of the suicide note in advance. Now people all over the capital are talking about me forcing Meng to die.

"She framed me in this way, and I'm already merciful if I don't lay waste to her. How come you have to go to Zhao's house to visit Mrs. Zhao in person for her sake?"

"Just because the good granddaughter she raised didn't forget to avenge King Duan before she died, is she planning on me?

“It’s not just that.

"King Pingnan is in charge of the military, and it is his duty to garrison the borders. But the good daughter he gave birth to slandered me, so I still have to reward him for his merits?

"Ms. Zhao, do you think that with your position as Zhaoyi, I should also consider your cousin's face, and then mention it to you?"

Lu Zan's cold voice seemed to have been soaked in ice-cold snow water, with a biting coldness.

And when this fell on Zhao Zhaoyi's ears, it was like an ice knife, cutting her face from top to bottom, making her feel like she had fallen into an ice cave!

Zhao Zhaoyi suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she seemed to have said and done the wrong thing!

"Your Majesty, I don't know...ah!"

Just as she was about to explain, she was coldly pushed away by Lu Zan. Her exposed knee happened to hit the corner of the table, and a bloody streak instantly appeared, with blood beads coming out.

Zhao Zhaoyi endured the pain and quickly knelt down respectfully.

The floor is cold in autumn.

Her knee was injured again, and when she knelt down like this, it was a heart-piercing pain.

However, Lu Zan's cold words were not over yet.

"You keep saying that you are saddened by Meng's death, but you dress up like this and wear such revealing clothes to seduce me. You are really hypocritical and disgusting to me!"

"Your Majesty! I know I was wrong! Your Majesty, calm down!"

Zhao Zhaoyi was keenly aware of something and quickly knelt in front of Lu Zan, trying to grab the corners of his clothes with both hands.

However, Lu Zan raised his foot and kicked her away!

At this time, Zhao Zhaoyi did not dare to move anymore.

"Someone is coming."

"Your Majesty, this servant is here."

Wang Zhong heard the movement inside and hurried in.

"Zhao Zhaoyi made arrogant comments about government affairs, wantonly speculated on the holy will, and was wrong in words and deeds. It is really hateful to bully the good and the weak! According to my decree, Zhao Zhaoyi was demoted to Liangdi! Moved out of Yanxi Palace and moved to the side hall!"

Lu Zan had a cold handsome face, thin lips and said a ruthless imperial edict. He glanced coldly at the lost Zhao Zhaoyi and waved his hand in disgust, "Drag her out! In the future, without my order, you are not allowed to take a step closer to the imperial study!" "

"The slave obeys the order."

After Wang Zhong got the imperial order, he immediately waved to the eunuch outside and dragged Zhao Zhaoyi out.

Then, the cloak was also thrown on Zhao Zhaoyi.

Fortunately it was dimly lit at night.

The light and sheer gauze palace dress Zhao Zhaoyi wore prevented anyone from seeing anything they shouldn't.

Liu Fang and Liu Xi were frightened to death when they saw this.

"My lady..."

Liu Fang quickly put a cloak on Zhao Zhaoyi, no, it was Zhao Liangdi now, and helped her back to Yanxi Palace.

However, before he could sit down and have a rest and drink hot tea, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came over and said that the emperor had sent word that Zhao Liangdi should be moved from the main seat of Yanxi Palace to a side hall overnight. In addition, it was not in compliance with Liangdi's regulations. All decorations and other items must also be removed.

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs acted quickly.

Zhao Liangdi seemed to have lost her soul, sitting there without saying a word.

When everything calmed down, Zhao Liangdi looked at the strange and deserted palace, and then she shed a few lines of tears.

"Your Majesty, it's all the slave's fault! It was the slave who harmed your Majesty!"

Liu Xi knelt aside and kept slapping himself in the mouth.

Zhao Liangdi shook her head and said with hatred in her eyes: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you... I was too stupid and fell into someone else's trick!"

As she spoke, she looked towards the dark palace outside, like a big mouth swallowing people's hearts.

"She wore such a palace dress, and the Holy One favored her. When I wore it, the Holy One scolded me for being hypocritical...discussing government affairs...bullying the good and the weak...relegating me to a good lady...It turns out that the Holy One's punishment for me was... He actually had a part in protecting Jingshu! That bitch!"

Zhao Liangdi screamed and cursed with hatred, and then said sternly, "Your Majesty! You are so cruel to your concubines!"

By this time, the news of her demotion had spread throughout the harem!

"Since the second-grade Zhaoyi was demoted to the fifth-grade Liangdi, Zhao Liangdi's fall was too tragic."

In the Kunning Palace, the first-class maid Xiang Mo was combing the queen's hair. After hearing the news brought back by Xiang Yan, she couldn't help but frowned and said, "My queen, concubine Jing has been too pampered recently, isn't she?

"First, the Holy One punished Concubine Shen Gui without asking for verification.

"Then Liu Liangdi was demoted to Chang Zai and moved to the cold palace.

"And today Zhao Zhaoyi was demoted to Liangdi and moved out of the Yanxi Palace to take the throne... How many days has it been?

"I heard that Your Majesty turned over the Yicui Palace sign again tonight. Madam, if we let her continue like this... won't she become another Concubine Xie?"
