The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 185 Imperial Power
Su Fengyi has always pretended to be deaf and dumb to the emperor's feelings towards Wutong.
Pretend you don’t know and delay it as long as you can.
She originally thought that as time passed, there were many beauties around the emperor, and Wutong was not considered a peerless beauty. Perhaps after some time, the emperor's thoughts about her would fade.
But now the emperor has made his attitude clear, and there is no time to delay.
If you can't avoid it, then face it.
Su Fengyi suppressed her inner anger and said calmly:
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. All land under heaven belongs to your Majesty, and all the people in the land are your subjects. She is mine, and even more so, she is your Majesty's subject.
She was the Chief Clerk of the Princess's Mansion appointed by the Emperor himself, a proper official of the imperial court. The Emperor granted her the official position and allowed her to take the imperial examination. She was extremely grateful and prayed for the Emperor day and night. In her heart, the Emperor was the monarch she respected the most.
But if Your Majesty insists on forcing me to do this, I dare not refuse the order. If Your Majesty wants something, then please issue the order yourself."
After Su Fengyi finished speaking, she turned around and left without waiting for the emperor to speak. When she walked to the outer room, she heard a sound of things being thrown and the emperor's roar:
"Don't try to fool me with these words. I am the Son of Heaven, and whatever I want is natural. Don't think that you are still a child, and you dare to control me just because Grandpa likes you. So what if Grandpa likes you! Grandpa died a long time ago, and now I am the Son of Heaven!
So what if she is my subject, and so what if Princess Qingyang is my aunt, I am the emperor! I just want them openly, who dares to say anything!
It's either her or Princess Qingyang. I want her tomorrow. Since my sister wants to stand up for them, you can choose who to send! Or my sister wants to disobey my order!"
Su Fengyi did not stop or say anything else as she walked out of Yuhua Pavilion, leaving the emperor's anger and threats behind.
She did not return to the palace banquet, but walked straight to the palace gate. On the way, she met Xue Yu, who came up to her and reported:
"Your Highness, I have sent someone to send Princess Qingyang away. Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Xue Yu had never seen Su Fengyi so angry before. Her eyes were burning with anger, and the overwhelming rage almost destroyed everything.
Xue Yu looked at her shaking with anger, clenching her fists tightly, and said cautiously:
"Your Highness, are you okay? Can I take you to rest for a while?"
Su Fengyi took a few deep breaths and slowly tried to calm herself down.
The emperor was right when he said this, he is the Son of Heaven, and since he is the Son of Heaven, imperial power is above everything else, no matter what he does, whether it is good or bad, others can only bear the consequences.
Perhaps it was because Prince Pingliang kept talking about his childhood today that reminded the emperor of the unpleasantness of not being recognized by Taizu when he was a child, which aroused the emperor's rebellious heart. That's why he did this absurd thing regardless of the consequences to prove and demonstrate his authority as the emperor.
Su Fengyi's anger was not only due to the emperor's absurdity, but also due to her own powerlessness in the face of imperial power.
Over the past year, she has worked hard to get the court back on track, expelling foreign enemies, opening up border trade, beheading treacherous officials, planning maritime trade, and striking at the King of Pingliang. It seems that everything is moving in a good direction.
But all her efforts would collapse and disappear in the blink of an eye with just a few words from the emperor.
This is the imperial power, this is the king's grace, this is the most supreme power in the world, and no one can rival it.
Anger is useless in the face of imperial power.
Su Fengyi released her tightly clenched fists, took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down completely. She said to Xue Yu:
“Find a reliable person to tell Prince Qingyang that there is an embroiderer in my palace who is good at double-sided embroidery. Princess Qingyang likes her very much and wants to stay in my palace for a few days to discuss needlework with her.
Speak to the King of Qingyang and don’t let him see any clues. Keep an eye on the King of Pingliang and see what he wants to do by staying in the palace.”
Xue Yu answered yes and watched Su Fengyi leave until she was completely out of sight before returning to the Qianqing Palace.
He first found a confidant and asked him to tell Prince Qingyang that Princess Qingyang was staying at the Princess's Mansion for a while, and then went to Yuhua Pavilion to find the emperor.
The emperor smashed almost everything that could be smashed in Yuhua Pavilion. He was still furious. When he saw Xue Yu, he looked at him with a sharp look:
"Where have you been just now? Why did the imperial sister come in?!"
Xue Yu pretended to be innocent and said:
"Prince Qingyang came to see the princess, but I was afraid that I would delay the emperor's good deeds, so I sent him somewhere else.
On the way back, I happened to meet the eldest princess, who said that she had taken Princess Qingyang away. I was incompetent and delayed the emperor's business. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
It was I who asked Xue Yu to send everyone away just now, so it's not entirely Xue Yu's fault. Moreover, if the imperial sister sends Wutong to the palace tomorrow, it would also be a wrong move.
No, not if, the imperial sister will definitely send Wutong into the palace.
The emperor laughed. He didn't believe that his sister dared to send Princess Qingyang into the palace.
Princess Qingyang was his aunt and a married woman, so it would be inappropriate for her to enter the palace. But Wutong was not married yet, so it was natural for her to enter the palace, and no one could say anything.
Thinking that he would get what he wanted tomorrow, the emperor's mood improved and he did not punish Xue Yu.
Tomorrow's water cannot quench today's fire. The emperor ordered:
"Go tell Concubine Hui that today's family banquet should be over. I don't want to have it any more. I'm not feeling well all over right now. Go call Concubine Sun and the others to help me cool down."
Xue Yu answered yes respectfully, and then arranged everything according to the emperor's instructions.
After summoning Concubine Sun and the others and leading them into the Qianqing Palace, Xue Yu looked at the emperor who was surrounded and served by several beauties, and seemed to be in ecstasy. He then thought of the eldest princess's trembling fists and her eyes filled with anger and pain.
Whoever dares to make her suffer will be made to pay the price. Xue Yu looked at the people rolling in a ball, and an absurd thought emerged in his mind:
"Is a person like the emperor really worthy of being the ruler of a country?"
……
Su Fengyi returned to the Princess's Mansion and went to see Princess Qingyang first. Princess Qingyang was frightened today and even after drinking a calming soup, she still didn't dare to rest. She sat on the bed, hugging herself and trembling anxiously.
When she saw Su Fengyi, Princess Qingyang hurriedly asked:
"Your Highness, did my husband ask me if he had any doubts?"
Su Fengyi comforted her:
"Don't worry, he has no doubts. You should stay in my palace and wait until the day of offering sacrifices to the ancestors and then go to the palace. After the sacrifice, go back to Qingyang and forget about what happened today."
After leaving Princess Qingyang, Su Fengyi called Wutong again and gave her a task:
"General Shen has opened up a passage to Wusi Country. The Damu Dynasty and Wusi Country have not had any contact for many years. I need someone to go to Wusi Country to develop a secret line and gather intelligence. You lead the team. Get ready and leave today."
