Bab 571: Chapter 571. Killing a Chicken To Show The Monkey

Seeing Zhou Wen's terrified look, Xiao Zeyu felt much better. Since you caused our Celestial Empress to fall out, I'll make an example out of you.

When the officials saw that Xiao Zeyu was serious, those who didn't take a concubine were very calm. Those who did were so frightened that they kept wiping their sweat. Their eyes were filled with fear as they hated Zhou Wen. They couldn't bear to deal with the beautiful concubines at home, but they couldn't be greedy for beauty if they wanted to be an official.

Some of them knew what memorial Zhou Wen had handed to the Emperor, but who dared to speak up for him? Since the Emperor was doing this, he wanted to punish Zhou Wen and release a message. If he didn't take a concubine, those who advised him to take a concubine wouldn't have a good ending.

In the future, who would dare to bring up the matter of the Emperor taking a concubine? Aren't you afraid of losing your job?
