Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 636 Panic
In the court hall, the emperor sat upright.

The seat of the queen is vacant.

All the ministers are not used to it.

Even Yin Kezhou found it strange.

I didn't expect a woman like the queen to be sick.

It was said to the outside world that it was because of the death of the Queen Mother, who was too sad to be sick and recuperate.

Those who know the inside story know it, or they don't know it.

Emperor Xi returned, but did not remember the past, not only that, but also brought back a woman, Concubine Wan.

Going to the battlefield like a man, the queen, who slapped most of the courtiers in the face, kept the Shen Kingdom's army marching all the way out of the North City.

During this period, countless men died in battle, and the war was very tragic.

The moat outside the northern city was filled with corpses, and they were all naked corpses, no matter men or women, they were not as good as a stone.

After the peace talks, the bodies had to be dug up, and it took several days and nights.

The queen returned to the palace and was injured.

The whole person has also lost a lot of weight, but the beauty on her body is even more amazing.

Like a flower in full bloom, don't look at her, you will be addicted to her once you see her.

But the emperor held another woman's hand and greeted her.

I still remember that when Emperor Xi wanted to ask for the blessing of the queen, he made a big promise that he would only marry one queen in his life and never have a concubine.

Later, due to pressure from the court, there were still many more women in the palace.

The ministers of the court sent their daughters to the palace one after another, but they were easily resolved by the empress.

I have never heard of any messy things in the harem, and the emperor loves the queen as always.

All the courts will come hand in hand.

But good fortune tricks people.

As far as the courtiers were concerned, the emperor favored Concubine Wan, and with the first concubine Wan, there would naturally be concubines Li, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Ming...so even if they thought it was unfair to the queen, no one said anything.

At today's court meeting, some courtiers remonstrated that Concubine Wan is pregnant, so she should rest assured to raise the baby, and the emperor should be exposed to rain and dew, so that the royal family can flourish.

Emperor Xi was very angry when he heard these remonstrances.

He doesn't like others, he only likes Wan'er, not to mention Wan'er is pregnant and has a big temper, if he favors others, Wan'er will definitely be in a bad mood, which is not conducive to safe pregnancy.

But he sat here alone, without any backbone, and he couldn't even refute his minister's remonstrance.

The emperor felt very strange, very impetuous.

Also uncomfortable.

Listening to the quarrels and quarrels of the courtiers all morning.

In addition to asking him to favor other concubines, there is also the issue after the peace talks. Shen Guo wanted too many things. At the beginning, a group of people wanted peace talks, but now everyone is unwilling to touch their own things. They want the emperor to use the royal family. Private treasury fills this big hole.

If this were in other countries, this kind of thing would not happen, but Xi Country has always been weak in imperial power.

When the queen was sitting there before, none of the courtiers dared to open their mouths.

But at the moment the queen is not here, only Emperor Xi is absent-minded, the courtiers will naturally not miss this opportunity.

The next thing is to talk about the current battle situation of Jing country, whether it will have an impact on Xi country, and what preparations should be made.

In short, it was a mess. When the next court came, all the courtiers left, and Tang Xi leaned on the dragon chair alone.

There is also a cushion on the back, which was stuffed by the queen last time.

He can't remember how he got along with the queen before.

But he still remembers every bit of getting along with the queen after returning to the palace.

How can she go.

Emperor Xi patted the armrest of the chair angrily, and the soft flesh slapped on the hard chair, feeling a sharp pain in his hands.

He was angry, angry.

On weekdays, she behaved very well in front of Wan'er and always took care of her. After all, she saved herself. She lost her father and brother, and she also lost her mother. They depended on each other for life.

But now he still feels angry.

No one persuaded him.

Even if the queen looked at him coldly, it would be better than disappearing now.

She actually just left like that.

I lost my temper indiscriminately, but I still had to stand up and go back.

After all, it was too late to go back, and Wan'er would be worried again.

Back at Wanrong Courtyard, Concubine Wan was already frowning and worried.

After Concubine Wan was promoted to Noble Concubine, she moved to the courtyard. The courtyard where Princess Fei lived at the beginning became her courtyard.

Someone also praised Concubine Wan as bright and moving as a lotus out of water, so this courtyard was changed to Wanrong courtyard.

The place is very spacious, bigger than the Queen's Fenglai Hall.

There is a lake in the yard.

It is said that because Concubine Wan's hometown is by the river, she was also the emperor who was rescued in the river.

Of course, that's not the case.How could a concubine Wan go to the river? Her family is actually the landlord of that village, and her family is the richest in the village.

Although Wang Wan's appearance is average in the palace, she is extremely outstanding in the village. Compared with other peasant girls, she is in heaven and earth.

It is said that another fortune teller passed by and said that Wang Wan's life was too precious.

So although she has reached the age, she hasn't made a decision yet.

The same country gentry family, the king's father always felt that he was not qualified, and the master in the city, the king's father was unwilling to let his daughter be a child.

Whether high or low, Wang Yuanwai said to the outside world that the noble girl has a good life and is not in a hurry to marry.

Wang Wan herself has always been proud and arrogant, unwilling to give up, and dragged herself into an old girl.

Wang Wan is smarter, but her elder brother Wang Long is idle and does not do his job. He is fishing by the river this day, but he doesn't want to catch a fat man.

Fatty's clothes are worth money at first glance. Wang Long originally wanted to strip off the clothes and sell them for wine. It's cold-eyed, and it's extremely difficult to get some pocket money, so I can only steal by myself outside.

Unexpectedly, when he stripped the fat man's clothes off, his younger sister would actually see him.

Then there was the life-saving grace that followed.

Wang Wan was also skeptical about her precious fate, thinking that her father had made it up, in order to find her a good husband's family, until she saw the man her brother had picked up.

So her purpose was clear from the beginning.

To go to Beijing, to enter the palace.

Including the death of his father and the disappearance of his brother on the way.

She is a very ambitious person.

The father could have died earlier, and the brother might not have disappeared, but his brother was an idiot, and she was worried that he would say things that she didn't want people to know.

And along the way, the emperor was very polite to him, and he didn't want to have anything to do with her. Before his father died, he confessed and he agreed.

She had worked hard to get here, and no mistakes were allowed.

Seeing the emperor coming over, it was much later than usual. She had already eaten and ate something. After all, the child in her belly was precious, but she still acted like she was waiting for him.

"The emperor came back so late today, but what's the trouble in the court?" Concubine Wan asked worriedly.

Emperor Xi shook his head: "It's all about those things. They happen every day. They want peace talks, and they want to send things to Shen Guo. If they don't make enough money, they want to use the royal family's private treasury. Jing Guo is still fighting, and I don't know what to do. gone."

"How can you leave the emperor's private treasury? These courtiers are too shameless." Concubine Wan listened to the emperor's words, and was very upset. She regarded the palace's private treasury as her own.

The emperor was not happy either. In fact, the queen said at that time that she would regret the peace talks. He has already regretted it now. The main content of the daily discussions among the courtiers is how to get money from the ruler to get more items to send to Shen Guo.

They won a battle, but they had to kneel down and beg others.

Emperor Xi let out a long sigh: "It's always like this. This year, the tax has been raised because of the war, and there is a natural disaster. It is time to recuperate. If the tax is increased, the people may not be able to survive."

"That's not enough. I remember that although our family lived in the countryside, we didn't have any worries in our life. If it wasn't for the war, our life would actually be pretty good."

Concubine Wan served a large bowl of rice for the emperor, and then filled it with meat and vegetables.

I just drank a little clear soup.

"Is the Queen's sister still ill? Wan'er is not feeling well, otherwise she should have gone to see her. Isn't it usually the Queen's sister who handles these things? Why is she sick at this time?"

Emperor Xi didn't want to mention the queen, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

There is panic and fear.

I had no choice but to prevaricate: "You can just rest easy and raise your baby, and you don't have to worry about things outside."

After eating, Emperor Xi went directly to the imperial study to read the memorial without resting.

There are more memorials piled up.

He pushed open the secret door. He usually likes to make these things, but he has no interest right now.

He suddenly decided to go to Mount Lu.
