At this time, Emperor Baili Xian, who was in the palace, was furious when he heard the news reported by the secret guard. He even wanted to issue an order to execute the wife of Duke Song.

He threw several memorials on the desk, but still not satisfied, he smashed an inkstone and a paperweight, and almost smashed all the four treasures of the study on the imperial desk to pieces.

At this time, the floor of the hall was in a mess, with memorials and fragments of the jade paperweight scattered all over the ground.

The palace maids and eunuchs were trembling with fear, their hearts pounding, and they knelt around the hall without saying a word, with their heads lowered, as quiet as chickens.

Baili Xian felt an inexplicable irritation that kept spreading in his heart, tightly wrapping around him, almost making him feel suffocated, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what he did.

He ordered in a deep voice: "Go to the Fengyi Palace!"

Baili Xian rushed to "Fengyi Palace" with a serious expression and full of anger.

The palace maids and eunuchs passing by saw the emperor's majestic and gloomy expression, and the terrifying aura all over his body, and knew that something big was about to happen.

Everyone looked at their noses with their eyes, and their hearts with their noses, and all knelt on both sides of the palace road, not daring to breathe, trembling with fear.

When the emperor walked a long way, the palace maids and eunuchs began to discuss quietly, "Look at the direction the emperor is going, it is the 'Fengyi Palace'. Could it be that the empress has angered His Majesty again? Although she is the noble empress of the central palace, she is not favored and has never been favored by the emperor. Now she has angered the emperor again. The empress's situation is becoming more and more embarrassing, and it is dangerous!"

"I just heard from the eunuchs serving in the Imperial Study that His Majesty got really angry and smashed a lot of things."

"What happened to make His Majesty the Emperor so angry?"

The servants quickly gathered together, exchanged information with each other, then quickly separated, pretending nothing had happened and returning to their master, and then reported this great news to their master.

This news should be very important and worth a lot of reward.

As soon as Baili Xian arrived at the "Fengyi Palace", the eunuchs and palace maids at the door fell to their knees. Without waiting for the servants to go in and report, he strode into the palace at high speed.

The palace servant at the door stood there in a daze, silent as a mouse.

Soon, all the eunuchs and palace maids on duty inside were driven out, and they exchanged puzzled glances with the palace maids and eunuchs outside.

When the emperor and his wife were alone inside, Empress Bai Lianyu looked at the furious and tense emperor and didn't know how to speak or comfort him. She asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, who made you so angry?"

The emperor no longer needed to endure and released all his anger, complaining and cursing: "The wife of the Duke of Song and her daughter, these two stupid women, have ruined my good deeds and disrupted all my plans. How despicable!"

"I finally managed to force an unknown woman to be the King of Qin's principal wife. After so many days, Baili Chen has been hiding the imperial edict and refused to read it out. He must have not given up completely and is still very upset and dissatisfied with this marriage."

"But I can't push him too hard. I have to give him some face in front of the court officials. I can't go too far and let the world see that I can't tolerate my younger brother who has worked hard and made great contributions. Wouldn't that make the world laugh at me?"

"I was just about to find a good opportunity to announce it, but I didn't expect that Su Ci would go to the birthday banquet of Duke Song's mansion today. Duke Song's daughter, Song Ning, was so bold that she tricked Su Ci into the zoo and wanted to kill her!"

"It seems that if I wait a few more months until Su Ci marries into the Prince Qin's mansion, Baili Chen will no longer have the opportunity to regret, and my biggest worry will be solved."

"But if Su Ci was killed today, wouldn't that be exactly what Baili Chen wants? Wouldn't he have an excuse to ask me to grant him another marriage? The marriages of those noble ladies haven't been arranged yet. If something unexpected happens now, it will definitely ruin everything!"

"If Baili Chen takes a fancy to a noble lady and asks me to grant him a marriage, how can I refuse? The first time, I can refuse him and force a woman on him, but the second time, how can I refuse him? Do you want me to break up with the King of Qin?"

"The image I have always portrayed is one of kindness, love, and tolerance. People all over the world have always believed that the King of Qin and I are brothers and sisters. But now, are you asking me to tear off my hypocritical mask?"

After saying this, he couldn't hold back his temper and smashed another set of exquisite teacups, but he was still furious.

The queen was so frightened that her face turned as pale as snow, but she pretended nothing had happened and just listened quietly without saying a word.

After pouring out all that was in his heart and venting his anger, the emperor finally calmed down a little.

He pondered for a while, then said calmly, "I have a few things for you to do now. You need to arrange them as soon as possible."

"First, have someone pass on an oral order that the Queen is very pleased with Su Ci. No one is allowed to bully her or plot against her in the future. Otherwise, she will not be forgiven and will be severely punished. At least, she must be protected before she marries into the Prince of Qin's mansion."

"Secondly, give Madam Song a severe beating. If necessary, teach her family a lesson. Those who should be punished should be severely punished!"

"Third, the palace should grant marriage contracts to all the noble ladies of marriageable age as soon as possible."

Seeing that the emperor was furious and exuded a cold and vicious aura, the queen did not dare to interrupt, but just agreed to everything and nodded frequently.

It seems that His Majesty was really angry this time. The marriage contract he had finally arranged for Baili Chen was almost ruined by the wife of Duke Song. That's why he ran to the "Fengyi Palace" in a rage to vent his anger and discuss countermeasures with her.

She and the emperor were originally a young couple, but she was not the woman the emperor cared about the most. For so many years, the emperor had always favored Concubine Qin, and even the son born to Concubine Qin was the only one favored by the emperor among his many sons.

The emperor would only think of her when he needed to deal with difficult and offensive matters.

For several years, the emperor never set foot in the "Fengyi Palace" at night, nor would he rest in her palace. His feelings for her were almost gone, and the couple only treated each other with respect and used each other.

Think about a few days ago, the emperor betrothed Su Lianxing to Prince of Qi Bailifeng. Su Lianxing is the legendary Phoenix Girl and the Saint of the "Poison Doctor Valley". With such a powerful helper, the first thing that came to mind was the imperial concubine and her son, and he never considered her and Prince of Yan at all.

Now, all the matters that offend Baili Chen and the major families are pushed onto her, and he really treats her as a good knife.

The previous dynasty used Baili Chen, but also had to be on guard against him and plot against him.

The concubines in the harem took advantage of her as the queen but did not give her any benefits at all.

Looking at this emperor with whom I had lived for more than 20 years, the more I looked, the more strange and frightened I felt.

Her heart grew colder day by day under the emperor's ruthless torture.

The emperor's ability and courage are very limited, but when it comes to plotting against and exploiting his loved ones, he is still so cold and selfish, without showing any mercy at all. "Thank you, little cutie Zhang Chunlan, for your reward and support!"
