Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

At three o'clock in the morning, the moon was high in the sky, and a crow stood on a winding branch, calling mercilessly: Ah, ah!

In the bedroom of Yinyu Palace, Wang Xifeng woke up slowly.

Beside the bed, Emperor Chongzhao was sitting in a very awkward posture, holding one of her hands, and sleeping soundly.

This was the scene Wang Xifeng saw when she opened her eyes.

She didn't move, didn't open her mouth, just watched quietly.

There is no doubt that this dog emperor is good-looking, with handsome eyes, thin eyebrows, straight nose, powerful cheeks, clear edges and corners, and beautiful bone structure.

Wang Xifeng sighed in her heart.

If it weren’t for Mr. Lian’s handsome face in her previous life, I don’t think she would have been so devoted to the Jia family.

now……

Master Phoenix felt like slapping himself.

Others just give up their face, but you have to put in all your efforts. This business is really a bit of a loss.

She quietly closed her eyes again.

If you can sleep more, of course you should sleep more!

As for the excitement outside, let them enjoy it on their own. She was "sick" and couldn't do anything about it. She could only watch.

Life is peaceful and tranquil in Yinyu Palace, but a storm is brewing in Daming Palace.

The first one to start with is Penglai Palace.

When Empress Mo heard that Wang Xifeng was ill, she specially called the imperial physician to ask the cause. Without anyone else's advice, the imperial physician sighed and told the empress:

"I am indeed tired, and I am very weak. I need to rest and recuperate...

"The Imperial Concubine's health was probably not very good for a few years when she was young. Although she recovered a little after practicing martial arts, her foundation is not strong enough.

"You have been working so hard for the past six months, so you should take a good rest. At the end of last month, I told the imperial concubine to take good care of herself.

"As for the sudden collapse this time...

"It should be pure anger...

"I estimate that if you can keep calm and take good care of yourself, you will be able to get up in three to five days, and walk in ten days to half a month.

"But if you want to continue as a director, I suggest that we wait a month or two before deciding."

Queen Mo sighed and shook her head: "This is really not possible...

"I'm feeling better now. There are so many palace affairs to deal with, I'm afraid I can't handle it all by myself.

"As for the others, they are all very young, as tender as flower buds. They can help out, but they can't take charge on their own...

"Tell the court envoys and judges what I said, and make sure the imperial concubine gets better soon.

"It will save the Emperor and me from worrying."

The imperial physician respectfully agreed and withdrew.

Kai Lan asked the Queen in a low voice with jealousy on her face: "Why don't you take back her power to assist in the management of palace affairs?"

“If I let her retreat this step now, then the Nan Palace will require me to go there in person to appease them, and Concubine Zhen will also require me to go there in person to entertain them.

"As for these people in the palace, the emperor has not yet summoned more than half of them, so the jealousy has not yet begun.

“As for Concubine Rong’s pregnancy, she was so noisy that even Madam Duan looked disgusted. I’m afraid something might go wrong.

“If I take over now, I will be busy and tired, but I am afraid I will have to bear the blame for many disasters.

"I am not as petty as you, a servant, to care about the gains and losses of a city or a place.

"As long as I can keep my seat on the throne of the Central Palace, and Brother Tao grows up well, he will be able to rule the Eastern Palace in the future! This little bit of power is not worth my attention now!"

Queen Mo was calm and composed.

Kai Lan blushed and was a little surprised. She couldn't help but look at her twice and asked tentatively: "But the Emperor and the Empress are in love. Looking at these bitches..."

Queen Mo glanced at him coldly, with no emotion or joy.

Kale lowered his head: "I spoke out of turn."

“I have been married to the Emperor for many years, and I know he is not the kind of person who would just wait to cross a river and then destroy the bridge.

“You all should be honest.

"As long as we don't make any mistakes, no one can surpass Brother Tao.

"——I just want my son to be smooth sailing, and no one should get in his way!"

Queen Mo's eyes were filled with indifference.

She once thought that the emperor had feelings for Mei Ruoqin. But now it seems that Mei Ruoqin, not to mention the child in her belly, is not as important as the balance of the court.

She had once thought that the emperor valued Wang Xifeng. But when Wang Xifeng fell ill, the emperor made a big fuss and forbade any of the six palace maids to visit her, and he even stayed there to watch over her overnight.

Did the emperor really not know what would happen if a woman became jealous? Moreover, the woman he was guarding was not the empress, but a concubine.

Although the censors did not dare to say anything about favoring concubines and ignoring wives, the concubines' families had a tacit understanding and were determined to find any fault to impeach the Wang family and the imperial concubine. This was almost certain to happen!

Couldn’t the emperor foresee this future?

No, he knows.

He knows everything!

When the retired emperor doted on Concubine Zhen, he witnessed the uproar in the court and the harem.

Even though he knew everything, he didn't restrain himself at all and didn't think about Wang. It's conceivable that he didn't think much of Wang at all!

——The rumor seems to be true.

The emperor just used Wang as a housekeeper, that's all.

If that's the case, why should I fight for power and even favor with a housekeeper's wife?

I am full and bored...

Thinking of this, Queen Mo beckoned Aunt Han to come over, supported her hand, and stood up with great effort:

"I feel better today. Please walk around the palace. Your body is rusty!"

Aunt Han smiled brightly: "Good, good! Your Majesty is the most clear-headed, and what you said is absolutely right!"

Unfortunately, before she took three steps, Concubine Wu De came in from outside crying: "Empress, please make the decision for me!"

Queen Mo turned her head and rolled her eyes, then turned back and asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Concubine De knelt on the ground, whimpering and groaning.

It was Juanjuan who was beside her, choking with tears in her eyes as she spoke.

It turns out that Wu Tianyou not only accepted bribes in silver, but also took in two beauties as well.

Who would have thought that this beauty was born into a family of a corrupt official and a slave? Not only did she cry and soften Wu Tianyou's heart, she asked him to come forward and help the corrupt official exonerate himself!

Before the news spread in the capital, Cui knew it first!

Cui was immediately furious and without even notifying Princess Kangle, she directly ordered the censor who was familiar to the Cui family to come to the court to impeach him!

When Queen Mo heard this, she was surprised to find that this was still a family matter?

It was hard to describe, but I also found it funny. The corners of my mouth curled up slightly, and then I quickly said seriously:

“If there is solid evidence of soliciting bribes and perverting the law, not to mention me, even Princess Kangle would not be able to come forward to plead with the emperor.

"Instead of crying here, Concubine De should send a letter back to ask your mother what she means."

Defei pouted and cried, but she had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment.

Turning a corner, she found herself in a place where no one was around, and she couldn't help but ask Aunt Wanqi beside her in a low voice:

"The Queen has grown a brain?

"My family is in such a good situation, and she didn't even get involved to make things worse?"
