The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Lu Zhaolin no longer pretends to be secretive.

"Early this morning, a flock of birds hovered over the British Palace and refused to disperse for a long time. Members of the previous dynasty's family all said that this was a good sign that birds were paying homage to the phoenix.

Birds are lingering in the British palace, and it is also the birthday of my beloved concubine. This phoenix, of course, refers to you, my beloved concubine.

The courtiers all said that I should follow God's will and make you the imperial concubine. "

Ever since the queen was placed under house arrest, there had been calls from the previous dynasty to ask for the imperial concubine. In this voice, nine out of ten people are on the side of the noble concubine.

So as soon as Lu Zhaolin said these words, everyone was thinking in their hearts that this drama of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix was not deliberately caused by the British government, right? For the position of the imperial concubine, she really did everything she could.

Not only them, but even the imperial concubine herself thought so. She secretly thought, why didn't her father and others inform her about this in advance? Now that she heard His Majesty mention it so fiercely, she was really surprised.

Your Majesty's expression doesn't look like he's angry?

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Lu Zhaolin ask: "What do you think of this matter?"

When he said this, his eyes looked at the imperial concubine. That look was quite affectionate.

The imperial concubine was extremely excited, as if she had already seen the imperial edict of Jin conferring the title of imperial concubine before her eyes.

"His Majesty--"

She spoke with a slightly trembling voice, and then she said two words, but Lu Zhaolin's expression suddenly changed: "The queen is still in Fengyi Palace. You are the destined phoenix, so who does the queen mean to you?"

Having said this, he threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground with a sudden force.

This "clang" sound resounded in the small flower hall, and also resounded in the hearts of all the concubines present.

His Majesty is so angry, who can sit down?

The imperial concubine knelt down directly on the ground and argued: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't dare. This matter must be a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Lu Zhaolin looked at her condescendingly: "What you mean by this is that you have never coveted the throne, and you don't want to be the imperial concubine?"

The imperial concubine choked, she couldn't say these words.

She wanted to be a royal concubine, and even more so, a queen. She was going crazy thinking about it!

If the queen hadn't been a step ahead of her, the position of princess and queen would have belonged to her!

Lu Zhaolin sneered and announced coldly: "The imperial concubine disrespects the queen and covets the phoenix position. She is unfit to be a concubine and is demoted to a noble concubine."

Does your concubine have a low status? It depends on who you compare with.

Compared with the mistresses and the concubines, the noble concubine can naturally be regarded as the character on the card.

But compared with the position of a genuine noble concubine, it is a huge difference.

From a first-class noble concubine to a third-class noble concubine, just for a few birds? Just to say that you should follow the destiny and become the imperial concubine?

The former imperial concubine, now the concubine Han, is going crazy.

"Your Majesty!" She raised her head sharply, her voice a bit sad: "Just because of these few birds, does Your Majesty hate my concubine so much?"

She felt extremely wronged.

Don't talk about her, every woman in the harem counts. Who doesn't want to be an imperial concubine or a queen?

Before today, everything was obviously fine.

The previous dynasty was asking for her to be made the imperial concubine, and the news from her father and others said that His Majesty's attitude on this matter seemed to be quite mild.

Over at the Ministry of Rites, someone even secretly leaked a message saying that His Majesty was listing the etiquette regulations for the imperial concubine of Jin Dynasty.

Even if she caused Yi Meiren to lose a child, she was fined half a year's salary in an understatement.

She thought that all these signs showed that His Majesty was interested in her.

Just because of a few birds, just because of the so-called good omen of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, His Majesty suddenly changed his attitude?

Jiang Shiying knew what Han Guibi was thinking when she saw her expression.

She sighed in her heart. To this day, Han Guibi still hadn't woken up from the dream that Lu Zhaolin had weaved for her. No wonder she fell into this situation.

"How many birds?" Lu Zhaolin chuckled and slowly shook his head.

Of course it’s not just for those flying birds.

The British ministers and other Han ministers were greedy and arrogant in the previous dynasty, and regarded the imperial positions as their own. He doesn't think about the welfare of the country and the people, but only thinks about the benefits that occupying this position and that position can bring to the Han family.

The imperial concubine, a daughter of the Han family, was also arrogant when she got her ambitions in the harem. The queen was only under house arrest, and Aying was the first concubine of the same rank as her, so she regarded herself as the number one person in the harem, and no one took her seriously.

If she really becomes an imperial concubine or a queen, the disaster of the previous dynasty's relatives will happen again.

It’s just that there is no need to say this.

She thought it was for a few birds, so let's take it that way.

Thinking like this, Lu Zhaolin let out an unclear "ha" and walked outside.

"Your Majesty—" the imperial concubine called him in a tearful voice.

Lu Zhaolin stopped. The imperial concubine was overjoyed and was about to defend herself when she saw him turn around and stretch out his hand towards Jiang Shiying: "Ah Ying, come back to Ganquan Palace with me."

Faced with the resentful and resentful look in the imperial concubine's eyes and the complicated and difficult-to-discern looks in the eyes of the other concubines in the hall, Jiang Shiying stepped forward unhurriedly, put her hand in Lu Zhaolin's palm, and left Xianfu Palace with him.

In the afternoon of that day, several decrees were sent out from Ganquan Palace.

First, he targeted the Fuzhou Shi family.

The Shi clan in Fuzhou was raided and all their property was confiscated except for the sacrificial fields.

The Twelve Langs of the Shi family asked and beheaded after Qiu.

The head of the Shi clan and several elders of the clan were asked to be killed by Queen Qiu.

All the remaining adult men of the Shi family were exiled.

All serving officials of the Shi family will be dismissed and will never be hired again.

Shi's old in-laws and relatives were implicated, and they either lost their official positions or were deprived of their titles.

Then he targeted the Han family of the former imperial concubine and now Han Guifei.

Han Guibin's father, the British Duke Han Yunjue, was dismissed from his official position and deprived of his title for the crime of deceiving the emperor, neglecting his superiors, and forming cliques for personal gain.

Han Guifei's uncle Zhongshu ordered Mr. Han to be dismissed from his official position and went to Dali Temple for questioning.

Most of the uncles and brothers of Han Guifei's clan were also accused and reprimanded.

A few days ago, the Han family had dreamed of the imperial concubine. In the blink of an eye, only two or three kittens were left in Chaoshang.

When news of this incident reached Xianfu Palace, Han Guifei immediately swayed and almost fainted.

Then, she repeated her old tricks, took off her hairpin, put on plain clothes, and knelt down outside Ganquan Palace to plead for mercy.

This time, he did not receive any mercy. Not to mention Lu Zhaolin, not even Yao Xingde showed up.

There was only one sentence from the little eunuch: "For your sake, I have already treated the Han family with kindness, so don't force me to be cruel."

Han Guifei was stunned for a long time, then she kowtowed to the ground and said, "My concubine, I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."

Then, with Xianyun's support, he staggered up and walked towards Xianfu Palace as if he had lost his soul.

Halfway through, I heard a strange voice coming from behind.

"Hey, isn't this our noble concubine? Why does she look so weak today?"
