Dongdong...

The thick bell sounded across the towering imperial city and the city neighbors. The heavy dark clouds sank above Nanyang City with a sturdy and thunder occasionally crossed the sea of ​​clouds. The huge thunder trembled, and the capital ushered in the biggest rainstorm in summer.

Two major events happened in the court today.

One thing is that the Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Secretary and the Medical School East, who was disappointed in the country because the empress had no son and was deposed to obey the people's hearts, and was echoed by a group of ministers.

Chu Yannan was furious and rejected the proposal of the East of the Medical School, scolded him and fined him one year's salary.

Another thing is that Concubine Zhang’s son Chu Qi, who was appointed as the crown prince of the dynasty by Chu Nan.

...

After the morning court is over.

Changle Palace.

"Empress, it's not good, but something is not good." Xiao Yunxi's personal palace maid hurried into the bedroom, told Xiao Yunxi everything that happened in the morning court.

The queen has no son and has been neglected by His Majesty in the past two years. On the contrary, Concubine Zhang, who gave birth to a prince, was particularly favored by His Majesty and was extremely domineering in the harem to suppress other concubines.

Therefore, in the harem, some people privately discussed that Xiao Yunxi's position as queen would be taken away by Concubine Zhang sooner or later.

As the personal palace maids around the queen, they all prosper and lose with each other. Of course, the palace maids have to worry about the master they serve.

The queen has no son, which is a serious crime. Isn’t the queen mother neglected by the late emperor because she cannot give birth to a son and a daughter?

When Xiao Yunxi heard this, she was very calm, as if she had known it for a long time, and said lightly: "What will Your Majesty respond?"

"Your Majesty was very angry and scolded Lord Wei severely and fined him a year's salary." The palace maid had a smile on her face and said, "It seems that Your Majesty still loves the Queen in her heart."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Xiao Yunxi's face, as if she was self-deprecating or something.

If it is true love, it will not be just a simple reprimand or a one-year salary penalty.

Moreover, as soon as he scolded the East of the Medical School, he immediately made Chu Qi the crown prince of the dynasty.

The signals released are inevitably thoughtful.

But Xiao Yunxi would definitely not show this in front of the servants and chuckled: "Don't worry, the Empress Dowager was not proposed to the late emperor by the ministers to depose the queen? It's a few times, isn't it okay?"

The palace maid nodded in agreement. Destroying the queen is not a trivial matter, it is a major event that can affect the court.

...

Imperial study room.

Chu Rongnan, who was in the court, would come to the imperial study room to practice calligraphy as usual.

Practicing calligraphy can cultivate a person's patience. If you have patience, you will be calm and if you are calm, you will be meticulous.

His words look vigorous and powerful, with an imperial spirit.

Chu Rongnan lowered his head and practiced writing, turning a blind eye to the window until a figure walked in, bowed to him, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty."

Chu Rongnan then raised his head, looked at Mu Gang below, and said, "There is news from Cao Hongliang."

Upon hearing this, Mu Gang was shocked.

Of course he knew what Cao Hongliang represented.

When he was still in charge of the Black Cavalry, the person around him who was doing his job for His Majesty was Cao Hongliang.

"There is news that he is in Pingding County, Fengzhou." Chu Fengnan continued.

Mu Gang quickly knelt on one knee: "Please give me instructions."

"You go to Pingding County in person, don't let him run away again." Chu Rongnan stopped the movement in his hand, slowly walked to Mu Gang, and lifted him up.

Feeling the force coming from his hands, Mu Gang said seriously: "No."

"During this period, don't keep anyone who has been in contact with him, and bring a few more people to help you." After Chu Rongnan let go of Mu Gang, he came to the desk and gave Mu Gang the written words: "I'll give you this word."

"Thank you... Your Majesty." After Mu Gang took it, he found three words written on the paper, killing him without mercy, which shocked Mu Gang's body slightly.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine is asking for a visit!"

Mu Gang just rolled up the words and put them away, and a duck-like voice sounded outside the imperial study room.

"I'm asking for my retreat." Mu Gang bowed and left.

But before he could walk out of the imperial study room, a delicate voice rang outside the house.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the morning court has nothing to do with me, Your Majesty..."

"Empress Concubine, Your Majesty and Lord Mu have important matters to discuss, you can't go in." The eunuch guarding outside the imperial study room wanted to go in and stop him.

But Concubine Zhang rebuked lightly: "Get out of here."

After saying that, he walked directly into the imperial study room.

Chu Rongnan frowned. When he saw Concubine Zhang coming in, he sat down behind the desk, and his face darkened: "Who told you to come?"

Mu Gang left quickly.

Concubine Zhang was wearing a gorgeous palace dress and her big eyes were charming. She could become Chu Yannan’s favorite concubine. Not only did she give birth to a son for Chu Yannan, she also knew how to tease men’s hearts.

The concubines in the harem are either the daughters or granddaughters of princes and ministers, or the legitimate daughters of aristocratic families. Forget it, they can’t let go of their bed affairs, but they don’t know how to please men and like to carry them.

Seeing that Chu Rongnan was angry, Concubine Zhang's small mouth pouted slightly, her red lips slightly opened. While acting coquettishly, she came to the desk and stuck to Chu Rongnan's body, saying, "Your Majesty, you must believe me, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

Her delicate body was even more gentle than the gentlest nephrite. When she sat on Chu Rongnan's legs, the latter's anger was much more relieved.

Chu Rongnan hugged Concubine Zhang's waist and said, "Only the unvirtuous emperor can depose his queen. There have been more than a dozen senior emperors, but who has deposed his queen? Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with you or not, I hope that next time, I will not hear such a thing."

Although Chu Fengnan said it was very gentle.

But Concubine Zhang was cold all over.

Of course this matter has something to do with her. If she doesn't want to be the queen's concubine, she is not a good concubine.

She also gave birth to the emperor his only son.

She also fought for this queen.

After all, for the queen, having no son is a sin.

Concubine Zhang smiled charmingly and quickly wrapped her hands around Chu Yannan's neck, trying to change the topic.

But Chu Rongnan did not give up the knocking and said, "I will give you what I can give you, but you can't grab what I don't give you."

After hitting a hammer, before she could wait for Concubine Zhang to answer, Chu Rongnan quickly gave her a sweet date: "According to the ancestral system, Qi'er is to be handed over to the queen, but I favor you, Qi'er will be left to you to teach."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

...

"immediately?"

Chen Mo, who was not planning to go to the yamen, was playing in the house with Lin Yuer and the others while it was raining. Suddenly Chunling came over and said he wanted to see him.

Looking at the continuous rain outside, Zhang Kai said that he asked him to go to Pingding County, Fengzhou immediately. Chen Mo was stunned.

This is too urgent. If it rains so heavily, what happened?

He asked Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai said that this was an order issued by Commander Mu.

Originally, Mu Gang came to the yamen to find Chen Mo. Seeing that Chen Mo was not there, he asked Zhang Kaitong to pass on the news. Mu Gang had already taken one step and asked Chen Mo to meet in Pingding County.
