Having said that, Concubine He said to the servants kneeling on the ground: "You lowly servants, quickly stand up and catch that little beast for me, and then kill him immediately!" The servants kneeling on the ground were in a dilemma, because one was the apple of the Emperor's eye, and the other was Concubine He who had the support of the He family behind her.
For a moment, these little servants did not dare to stand up. However, a few of Concubine He's confidants stood up and tried to rush into An Xin's arms, snatch the little Ganoderma lucidum, and then smash it to death.
An Xin saw that someone was really trying to take the little Lingzhi from her, and she shouted sternly: "I am here, who dares?"
An Xin was a person who had experienced many ups and downs, and she had some amazing aura. Her scolding frightened the servants.
Then An Xin heard Concubine He say: "I have your back, what are you afraid of? She is just a queen without any basis!"
After hearing this, the servants secretly had some thoughts in their minds. One was the queen who had just arrived in Lan Cang and had no foundation, and the other was the dowager concubine who had the support of a noble family and had been in the palace for a long time.
Seeing that these palace servants were really going to take the little Ganoderma from her, An Xin subconsciously stepped back. The palace maids around An Xin also came forward to protect An Xin.
The scene was very chaotic for a while.
At this moment, a rather majestic voice appeared and shouted: "What are you doing!"
When this majestic voice appeared, everyone was very clear that the person who made the voice was none other than the ruler of Lan Cang, the current emperor, Emperor Xiao Yu.
Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down and said, "We bow to your majesty. Long live your majesty!"
An Xin also wanted to salute, but at the moment she was about to salute, Xiao Yu supported her and stopped her from saluting. Xiao Yu glanced at the people below, then looked at Concubine He, and said: "What does Concubine He want to do now? Bringing a group of fierce slaves to capture my queen? Don't you think too highly of me?"
Although Concubine He was quite arrogant, she was also a person who could read people's minds. She knew that the man in front of her was the one who had the final say in Lan Cang Country.
For a moment, she clearly just wanted to put a dent in An Xin's prestige, but she never expected the emperor to come out to support An Xin. She also felt a little guilty and said, "I was just scared by the queen's little pet, and I wanted the servants to teach this little pet some rules..."
Xiao Yu looked at Concubine He coldly. He knew what Concubine He was thinking, so he said, "I think Concubine He is fine, so let's just leave it at that. The weather is bad now, so it's not suitable for Concubine He to go out. You should stay in Biluo Pavilion to recuperate for the next few years."
Hearing this, Concubine He's expression changed. She knew that Xiao Yu was planning to confine her, so she said in a panic: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do? I am your mother!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, looking a little embarrassed. He said in a gentle voice: "I only have one mother, who is now in Chonghua Palace. I pity the old concubine for her dim eyesight. If you ask me next time, I can only ask the concubine to go to the temple to practice Buddhism and chant sutras..."
The threat in Xiao Yu's tone was obvious. Concubine He felt angry and scared when she heard it. Even when Emperor Xiao Nian was in power, he had never treated her in such an attitude.
Xiao Yu has only been in office for a little over a year, and he dared to say such words to her. Concubine He was very angry and blurted out, "Xiao Yu, don't go too far!"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Xiao Yu's eyes. His originally gentle voice contained a hint of anger as he said, "Queen Dowager, I am the Son of Heaven!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine He was dazed for a moment. Yes, the young man in front of her was the emperor!
As he spoke, Concubine He was frightened by his calm narration and her legs went weak.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu didn't care about Concubine He's condition. He gently patted An Xin's back, and then said to the group of palace servants: "In Lan Cang, the Queen's words are my words!"
"I obey your command." The servants knelt below and listened to Xiao Yu's scolding. They couldn't help but feel more awe for An Xin.
His Majesty actually places such importance on the Queen!
Having said that, Xiao Yu took An Xin away, leaving behind the somewhat dejected Concubine He.
Concubine He raised her head and stared fiercely at An Xin's departing back, the look in her eyes seemed to be filled with poison.
After walking for a while, An Xin subconsciously moved away from Xiao Yu, shook her head and said: "Zi Yu, you shouldn't say that..."
Seeing An Xin moving away from him, Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with sadness, and then he pretended to be indifferent and said: "Isn't this to prevent future troubles..."
What Xiao Yu wanted to say more was that it was all worth it.
Seeing this, An Xin remained silent. It was only until just now that An Xin realized that she seemed to have provoked a troublemaker...
This trouble started from Daxiangguo Temple...
The next day, during the morning court session, Xiao Yu faced attacks from the ministers.
The court of Lan Cang mainly consists of two prime ministers, the left and the right, to facilitate checks and balances. The left prime minister is the father of Lin Qingcheng, and the right prime minister is the father of He Yuezi of the He family.
The two parties represent the Lin family and the He family respectively, and both are incompatible.
At this moment, He Youxiang took the initiative to step forward and said: "Your Majesty currently has no heirs in the harem, and there are not many concubines. I suggest that Your Majesty fill up the harem."
Xiao Yu looked at He Youxiang and guessed in his heart that it was probably because Concubine He wrote a letter to He Youxiang yesterday to complain, and He Youxiang felt a sense of crisis and planned to send people into the harem to seek balance and peace of mind.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zuoxiang looked at He Youxiang with sarcasm and said, "You Xiang said so much, isn't it just to want your daughter to enter the palace as a concubine? Why do you have to say such high-sounding words?"
He Youxiang replied without showing any weakness: "I am doing this for the sake of my country, Lancang!"
Seeing He Youxiang's high-sounding words, Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with sarcasm. This old man is really shameless...
Then, Right Prime Minister He changed the subject and pointed his finger at Left Prime Minister Lin, saying, "Could it be that Left Prime Minister, you don't want to send your good daughter to the harem?"
Then he looked at Lin Zuoxiang without disguising, and said in a gloomy tone: "As far as I know, your good daughter has a deep love for Your Majesty..."
After hearing what He Youxiang said, Lin Zuoxiang changed his usual calmness and stability, his face was slightly cracked, and he was about to say something but was interrupted by Xiao Yu.
"Don't you have anything else to do besides paying attention to my personal affairs?" Although the young emperor was as gentle as ever, the turbulent waves in his eyes revealed his mood at the moment.
Upon hearing this, the two prime ministers quickly knelt down and said, "We are all doing this for Your Majesty!"
At this moment, everyone in the court, except Xiao Yu's close associates, knelt down and said, "I hope Your Majesty will reconsider this."
