After a long time since he did not hear a response from Qin Shuo, Wen Fuchen continued to speak, "Your Majesty, since the empress is so wicked, why don't you pass it on to her and have her bring it back to properly learn royal etiquette?"
Yin Fufeng had been holding back his laughter at the side, but after hearing Wen Fuchen's words, he knew that something was wrong.
It looked like Wen Fuchen was truly infuriated by Empress Hu.
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot. Not to mention the fact that there has never been such a precedent before, if my East Court were to return the Queen to the South Yue, then the South Yue would definitely be used as an insult. In the future, you would have to send out my East Court, and then, there would be internal and external troubles.
", as a High Scholar, shouldn't bother with a girl until now. South Yue is a common practice, and the Empress's position in the South Yue is not strange, so opening her character up would be like spending her days in depression."
He truly could not stand that pedantic Wen Fuchen. Although the two of them were at odds in the imperial court in the first place, but they were not so hostile in private. From the looks of it, they did not like Wen Fuchen.
"Your Majesty, the empress of East Court has always been a virtuous and virtuous woman, but the current empress is extremely coarse, and she even fought hard. This kind of person cannot be trusted by my empress of East Court!"
"Your Majesty, the Empress is just used to being free. Being trapped in the harem all day, she is naturally a little impatient, but she is after all, the Princess of South Yue. Your Majesty, please reconsider."
Wen Fuchen and Yin Fufeng were quarreling intensely, both of them having their own reasons. Qin Shuo was agitated, and couldn't help but think of the empress, that little fox, as well as the happiness they had when they were venting their anger.
"Alright, there's no need for the two of you to say anymore. Although the empress has a rough personality, she's not guilty of abolishing the South Yue. I'll take my punishment, you can withdraw now."
Right, the two of them were quarrelling below, but the king had already thought of a plan in his mind. They looked each other in the eye and then both knelt down in respect.
Due to Hu Xiao, many of the concubines in the harem were already talking about the Empress's words and deeds, but now, even the officials of the previous dynasty were arguing about it. The Empress was really capable!
It looks like I'll have to subdue the empress's temper a bit, but he can't do anything to her! He had to do it in a roundabout way, and he felt extremely helpless in his heart.
Inside Xue Mier's palace.
"Empress, the empress has left the palace, and people from the Wen Mansion have entered the palace. Shall we meet, Empress?"
These few days, the Imperial Consort Xue's heart had long been filled with anger because of Hu Xiao. Now that the people of the Wen Palace had entered the palace, this was definitely a good opportunity.
"See, how could we not see each other? Quickly invite them in, Bi Lan, make some tea."
"Lucky Imperial Consort Xue." The person who came was none other than the wife of Wen Fuchen.
The two of them had not seen each other for a long time. Tears welled up in their eyes. It had been a long time since he had last seen her, but the relationship between them wasn't very close.
After the two of them had lunch, the Mrs Wen explained why they had entered the palace one by one.
It turned out that Wen Fuchen had locked himself in the study after he returned to the Wen Palace with a gloomy face. Mrs Wen noticed that something was wrong and after asking around for a while, he rushed over to the palace.
Previously, when the Imperial Consort Xue was in a good mood, Qin Shuo had specially allowed the family members of the Imperial Consort Xue to pass the news and visit freely, but now, it was much more convenient.
"Cousin, why are you in such a hurry to find me today? Did something happen at home?"
During the meal, Mrs Wen had the appearance of wanting to say something but was unable to. It piqued Imperial Consort Xue's curiosity, as she was usually very calm and collected, it was rare for him to disregard etiquette.
"It's also my fault for being too impatient. Today, your cousin was depressed when he returned home early and even locked himself in his study. I was very worried, but my husband didn't tell me, so I went to the palace to look for my imperial concubine."
What happened this morning? Imperial Consort Xue should have known about what happened in the palace since long ago. Furthermore, it was something that could make her cousin anxious, so why was there no news at all?
The Imperial Consort Xue looked at Bi Lan doubtfully. Didn't Bi Lan just leave the palace with Hu Xiao? Could it be that the two of them met and had a dispute?
If not, Bi Lan would have been able to solve their doubts very quickly.
