ne, at the height of summer, Cheng Mansion was surprisingly cool. A lush grove of willows shielded the afternoon sun's scorching heat. Flowers and rare plants competed in their beauty, swaying gently...Nan Xiaoqing soon received news that Gu Qian and the Empress had gotten into a fight.

He had just woken up and hadn't washed his face yet.

Nán Xiāo sighed and said to Wú Dé, "Go ahead first. Don't let Xiāng Fēi beat the Empress to death."

The Empress's brain isn't working well either, why does she insist on provoking Gu Qian

He's too tough to mess with!

Grand Master Wu received his orders and first went to the Empress's palace.

By the time Nan Xiaoqing arrived, the situation had been... controlled ...right

What the hell is this empress and concubine crying their eyes out about!

Gu Qianshao was sitting properly in the Taishi chair, while Xianfei stood dumbfounded behind her.

Many eunuchs and palace maids were lying on the ground. The guards hadn't come in, probably driven out by Wu De.

"What's going on again"

The Empress, upon seeing Nan Xiaoqing, immediately abandoned Zhuang Fei. She threw herself at Nan Xiaoqing's feet, sobbing, and clung to his leg, beginning to complain, "Your Majesty! Xiangfei has rebelled against you, Your Majesty! She dared to hit me!"

Gu Qian interjected, "Speak nicely, I didn't hit you."

She only beat the maids and eunuchs, it was self-defense! She didn't even touch a hair on the Empress's head.

How is that any of her business The Queen crying like this.

Now the Empress is truly afraid of Gu Qian. Not to mention some Goddess title, just a young lady from an official's family who can even fight

When she hit people, it was so smooth. She was just scared.

"Your Majesty, please help me! As your empress, I was beaten by a concubine. If this gets out, the royal family will be disgraced!"

Before Nan Xiaoqing could speak, Gu Qian continued, "Don't put such a heavy burden on me. Does the royal family's reputation rest solely on your shoulders You are so weak; why not abdicate and let someone more capable take your place That way, the royal family wouldn't lose face."

The Empress's cry stopped abruptly, and she turned her head sharply. "Xiang Fei," she said, her voice filled with rage, "you truly covet my position as empress! You deserve to die!"

Nan Xiaoqing helplessly said, “Enough, Your Majesty, please calm down. What kind of propriety is this”

The Empress complained, "Your Majesty, you can't keep protecting Xiangfei! I am your wife, and the other concubines are also your wives. Look at us!"

"Is the Empress accusing me"

"I dare not, but Your Majesty cannot continue to indulge Xiang Fei. She is going to ride over my head! As the Empress, I cannot even deal with a mere palace maid. What face do I have left What meaning does being Empress hold if I can't even manage this"

Then, let's just forget about it.

South Xiao Qing was really impatient with pulling these women around.

This empress has done countless evil things. Even the original owner knew some, but she didn't care.

But he came for Gu Qian. If it weren't for maintaining the emperor's persona and securing his throne, he would have dismissed the harem long ago.

Because of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, his public support is better than ever before. Qi Jiangyang has wilted on the court, it's pitiful to see.

Now that he has the guts, he doesn't want to play coy with the Queen anymore. If he doesn't want to be the Queen, then let Gu Asan take her place.

"Your Majesty, what did you say" The Empress widened her eyes and asked in a flustered voice.

Nan Xiaoqing directly said: "Didn't you say that being empress is meaningless Then don't be one, you only cause trouble for me all day long, what use are you!"

“No, Your Majesty, please! You said it yourself, I will always be your Lin Sister. You promised to protect me, no one can take my position as Empress away!” The Empress spoke recklessly, even revealing her private conversations with the previous emperor in front of everyone.
