The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Minister Lin was silent for a moment, then followed suit: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Chen."

With the two people in front taking the lead, the remaining ministers finally reacted, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Lin Jiuqing changed in an instant.

"See Concubine Chen."

The others said in unison.

This was the first time that Lin Jiuqing appeared in front of the ministers, and it was also the first time that these ministers saw the Empress Chenfei, who was said to be the emperor's favorite.

Many people were wondering in their hearts, thinking that this Empress Chen looked familiar, as if they had seen her somewhere before, but they were not sure. Due to Lin Jiuqing's identity, those people only dared to look at her secretly, not to stare at her directly.

Lin Jiuqing nodded: "No need to be polite, everyone."

When the ministers stood up and were about to pass by, someone suddenly said, "The Empress Chen is the person in Tuoba Xuan's painting."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped in their tracks.

Zhou Chen frowned and glanced at the person who spoke with a somewhat cold look.

Lin Jiuqing also frowned, then looked at everyone calmly.

The ministers looked at each other, and finally someone spoke up: "I wonder if the Empress Chen knows about the peace talks between the two countries?"

Lin Jiuqing's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. These matters are beyond my control. My Lord, you must be joking."

The man fell silent again and looked at the person next to him.

Afterwards, the ministers knelt down as if they had agreed on something, and said in unison: "Please, Empress Chen, put the overall situation first and relieve the suffering of the people."

Lin Jiuqing's expression froze for a moment, then he slowly said: "Why don't I understand what you gentlemen are talking about?"

Among these people, only Zhou Chen and Minister Lin were still standing steadily.

Minister Lin said nothing, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

Zhou Chen's face turned completely cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What are you doing? His Majesty has already said in the court today that the person in Tuoba Xuan's painting is not Empress Chen Fei. Why, you don't even listen to His Majesty's words?"

One of the ministers said: "The Empress Chen looks exactly like the person in the painting, except for the mole at the corner of her eye."

"That's right, they are obviously the same person. As long as the Concubine Chen is willing, Tuoba Xuan will definitely not be picky after meeting her."

"Master Zhou, you are in charge of the peace talks between the two countries. If the Empress Chen is involved, wouldn't you be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort? Why are you still so resistant?"

Zhou Chen listened to their chatter, his face looked extremely grim, and he said in a cold voice: "Although I am responsible for the peace talks, I will not do anything like calling a horse a zebra."

"Also, this is the Concubine Chen, your Majesty's person! If you force the Concubine Chen like this now, where will your Majesty be?"

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, the ministers said confidently: "We are also doing this for our country and for the stability of the people."

"That's right," someone echoed, "If Tuoba Xuan had his eyes on someone from my family, I wouldn't even blink an eye. For the sake of the country and the people, we are willing to do anything you ask us to do."

"Sir Zhou, in order to please His Majesty, have you given up your original intention of being an official?"

Zhou Chen was pointed at and scolded, and he was so angry that his face turned blue and white. He opened his mouth, but couldn't find the words to refute for a while.

These civil servants and censors may not be good at other things, but they are excellent at talking.
