A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C233
Dongfang Haotian frowned and stood up, then walked out of the door. Outside, there was a man dressed in black, wearing a mask.
“Stop!” Dongfang Haotian shouted.
Everyone stopped, Dongfang Haotian looked at the black clothed man and said: “Prince Mu, how have you been!”
The black-clothed man generously pulled down his handkerchief and smiled. “Your Majesty has good eyesight.”
Mu Qingyao said in panic, “Your Majesty, please don’t blame my brother. He only wants to take me away.”
Dongfang Haotian thought for a while, before deciding to help the empress dowager with the matter of enticing her. Since Mu Qingyao had helped, the empress dowager assumed that Han Liu’s background was Tian Lai Kingdom, and she had not thanked her for this matter.
Therefore, Dongfang Haotian smiled and said: “Since you’re here, why not come in and have a drink.”
Prince Mu was also very generous, he cupped his hands and said, “It’s better to obey than to be respectful.”
As the two men entered the room, Mu Jun pulled Imperial Concubine Rong and whispered, “Elder sister, follow me.”
The Imperial Concubine Rong nodded her head and said to Dongfang Haotian: “Your Majesty, since Little Sister Mu is going back, I will prepare some gifts for her.”
Dongfang Haotian nodded his head: “Alright, help us take back our great gift.”
“Yes.” The Imperial Concubine Rong brought Mu Qingyao to the warehouse in the courtyard.
Mu Qingyao said, “The Tian Lai Kingdom is very chaotic right now. The Emperor’s incompetence is causing the princes to want to make a move. Even though my brother killed the person I love the most, I can’t just ignore his life and death. ”
Imperial Concubine Rong said, “But so what if you go back? How can a weak girl like you help him? ”
Mu Qingyao said, “When I go back, I will marry someone. I will marry the son of the country’s general. That way, I will be able to rope in some of his family’s forces to help my brother.”
Imperial Concubine Rong frowned: “Silly girl, then aren’t you sacrificing yourself?”
Mu Qingyao smiled bitterly and said, “For the sake of my family’s future and safety, I have no choice but to marry her.” “My heart is dead, so it doesn’t matter who my family gives me. As long as it can save my mother’s life, I’m willing.”
Imperial Concubine Rong asked, “Isn’t your mother the imperial concubine? How could there be danger? ”
Mu Qingyao said, “I am the descendant of Imperial Father. My mother is just a dancer and has no status. If it wasn’t for big brother, my mother and I would have died long ago. “Therefore, I must repay this debt of gratitude. We, mother and daughter, owe him one.”
Imperial Concubine Rong said, “But the outside world says that you are siblings born from the same mother!”
Mu Qingyao shook her head and said, “No. After Imperial Father died, the First Prince ascended to the throne. He initially wanted my mother to accompany him in death. There are very few people who walk this path, which is why I have a higher position. ”
Imperial Concubine Rong still didn’t understand. “Since you two aren’t born from the same mother, why are you in danger?”
Mu Qingyao sighed, “The Second Prince is a narrow-minded person. If he becomes the Emperor, he will definitely eradicate all threats. My brother and I will be killed by him. So, if that day really comes, I must ensure that my brother ascends the throne as Emperor not only for my own sake, but also for the sake of the people. ”
The Imperial Concubine Rong nodded her head: “Although he doesn’t interact much with the Prince Mu, but his words are not ordinary. In the future, she will become a good emperor.”
Mu Qingyao smiled faintly and said, “Help me pass on my message to Sister Leng and thank her for taking care of me.”
“Yes, I will.” The Imperial Concubine Rong nodded helplessly and began to help Mu Jun pick out the presents for her.
Dongfang Haotian and Prince Mu drank until the sun rose, then sent someone to send them back home.
After sending off Prince Mu and Mu Jun Yao, Dongfang Haotian also brought Imperial Concubine Rong back to the Imperial Palace. Because they had stayed at the courtyard the previous day, Imperial Concubine Rong had not had the time to negotiate with the Left side, so Dongfang Haotian decided to not mention the matter of the empress.
During the morning assembly, the officials who usually watched from the other side all surrendered to Dongfang Haotian, but there were still a few who left to return home. He must have seen through the government and gone home for the better.
After they had made a memorial to each other, they said, “Reporting to your majesty, this old official dares. Your majesty has already ascended the throne for many years, but still has not made an empress. As the saying goes, An Kingdom is the first to settle down. Does the Emperor have an ideal candidate? ”
Dongfang Haotian had a headache. He had originally wanted to wait until Imperial Concubine Rong and Zuo Xiang had talked about it, but in the end, he was even more anxious than him and spoke first.
“We cannot be hasty about this matter. We can only decide it after we have discussed it with the Imperial Concubine Rong.” Dongfang Haotian said something ambiguous. He did not say who he was supposed to be talking about, but at the same time, he caused the Left Premier to mistake Dongfang Haotian as someone from a Imperial Concubine Rong.
The Minister of the Left looked pleased with himself. He glanced at the officials and said, “This old official is waiting for you.”
After he left the imperial court, Dongfang Haotian originally wanted to go to Moonlight Palace, but after walking halfway, he returned back to Reclining Dragon Palace. He could not let go of his face, because once he thought about how Leng Qiyue was willing to share his face with other women, he started to panic.
Xiao Shunzi was originally happy to see Dongfang Haotian walking over, but seeing that the emperor had turned back the other way, his heart immediately cooled down. Could it be that his master had lost his favour? Since the emperor had not come, he decided not to speak of this matter, lest his master be upset.
In order to persuade Zuo Xiang to take Leng Qiyue as her adopted daughter, Imperial Concubine Rong had spent a lot of time and effort and had spent almost a month listening to her every word.
In the end, the Minister had no choice but to agree.
When the matter was settled and the preparations were made for the grand ceremony, the quasi empress had disappeared …
When Dongfang Haotian saw Leng Qiyue’s message, he angrily slapped the table and roared: “Leng Qiyue — —”
The Imperial Concubine Rong curiously took Leng Qiyue’s letter and looked at it, then said without knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Big sister, you’re really going to leave without saying a word. How is the emperor supposed to explain this to the ministers?”
“Hmph, since she doesn’t want to be the empress, we will grant her wish. Imperial Concubine Rong, we will change the imperial edict tomorrow and put you at the back.” Dongfang Haotian was so angry.
The Imperial Concubine Rong chuckled, “Chenqie doesn’t want it. I’m very free right now. Chenqie has arranged for the imperial concubine to drink tea, so I’ll take my leave now.”
Dongfang Haotian was the only one left in the Reclining Dragon Palace with a messy spot, what was going on? Am I that unpopular with others? In the past, it had always been the concubines fighting to be empress, but now he couldn’t even send them out.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t leave the palace, he would have brought people to capture Leng Qiyue long ago. Yan Su had always been Leng Qiyue’s secret guard, but this time, even he was bribed and didn’t notify him.
The more Dongfang Haotian thought about it, the angrier he got, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only issue an order saying that Leng Qiyue was sick.
Furthermore, because Leng Qiyue left the palace in a huff, she didn’t have a goal in mind initially. Instead, she suggested that they find Xue Ling s. In fact, Xiao Shunzi had his own selfish motives. The Xue Ling s did not go very far, if he successfully found them, the Empress would immediately return to the palace when her mood improved. Once she returned to the palace, she would hold a grand ceremony. However, what he did not expect was that on the way here, a shocking story had actually popped up, and this matter had also brought about a major change for Leng Qiyue.
