Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

The Tong family, who had been guarding Yanmen Pass for generations, naturally became the top priority.

It is precisely because of the bloody battles and steadfast protection of generations of the Tong family that the northern region has been able to maintain long-term peace and stability.

As for the other thing, that is——

During these seemingly peaceful days, a shocking event occurred in Shangjing City - the residence of Pingyang Marquis Zhou Yukun was actually ordered to be confiscated by the imperial court!

Once the news came out, it spread throughout the streets and alleys in an instant, attracting a crowd of people to come and watch.

Everyone stretched their necks, watching this rare lively scene with great excitement, and whispered to each other: "What kind of crime did Lord Zhou commit to deserve such a miserable fate of having his property confiscated?"

At this time, deep in the inner courtyard of the palace, Concubine Zhou was lazily leaning on the exquisite chaise longue, enjoying a moment of tranquility leisurely and contentedly.

Suddenly, a palace maid ran in in a panic, shouting, "It's bad, Madam! It's bad, Madam!"

Concubine Zhou was upset by the sudden shouting. She frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Why are you so panicked? It's not decent to make such a fuss!"

The palace maid was so frightened when she saw this that she trembled all over. She quickly fell to her knees and reported tremblingly: "Madam, the Marquis's Mansion... The Marquis's Mansion has been raided!"

Hearing this, Concubine Zhou was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

She casually replied, "It's fine if you copied it. Is it worth bringing such a trivial matter to me to make irresponsible remarks?"

Obviously, Concubine Zhou has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

When the palace maid saw Concubine Zhou's reaction, her face was filled with astonishment. She raised her head in disbelief and stared blankly at the high and mighty master in front of her.

She couldn't help but fall into deep self-reflection for a moment, thinking to herself: Am I really making a big deal out of nothing?

Isn't it just a house raid?

However, when the word "confiscation of property" came to her mind again, she shook her head violently and said to herself: "But, that is a confiscation of property!"

At this moment, Concubine Zhou at the side finally came to her senses from her shock. She looked at the maid suspiciously and said sternly, "What did you just say? Say it again to me!"

The palace maid turned pale with fear and replied tremblingly, "Madam, the government has sent people to confiscate the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion!"

When Concubine Zhou heard this, she was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

After a moment, she screamed as if she had just woken up from a dream, then stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, quick! I want to go to the imperial study to see the emperor immediately!"

Before she finished her words, she hurriedly ran towards the imperial study with her followers.

Along the way, everyone walked in a hurry and looked panicked.

However, what they never expected was that the imperial study, which was usually open to the public, seemed to have erected an invisible high wall today, blocking Concubine Zhou and others from entering.

Concubine Zhou was extremely anxious and shouted to the guards at the gate: "I have something important to ask you to see, please let me in!"

However, the guards looked indifferent and turned a blind eye.

At this time, a eunuch came out of the imperial study. He bowed to Concubine Zhou and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor has ordered you to return to the palace to reflect on yourself for a month."
