After rebirth, the daughter of the genius doctor went crazy
Chapter 58 The chess player has feelings for the chess piece
"Bang!" After a crisp sound, the tea spilled all over the ground, and the Cining Palace was immediately filled with fragrance, but the carved jade dragon cup lay on the ground in pieces, broken...
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" The palace maids and eunuchs all knelt on the ground, looking extremely terrified. Some of those of low status were even trembling in fear, fearing that they would accidentally lose their heads.
Sitting on the golden phoenix chair was a noble lady with a furious face. Her plump and enchanting body was wrapped in a golden and blue dress, and she was draped with a thin golden and purple gauze, revealing a neck with graceful and noble lines like velvet. Her elegant collarbone stretched out seductively, and her wide skirt flowed like ink on the magnificent ground, stretching for more than three feet, which further highlighted her majestic and luxurious demeanor.
She looked to be about thirty years old, with her three thousand black hair tied up high and pinned with several phoenix-head hairpins. There were as many as nine phoenix heads on her hair, which showed her indescribable status.
She wore light makeup and had an extremely beautiful face, one could say she was stunningly beautiful. The only discordant thing was her eyes, which were ferocious, sharp, and filled with uncontrollable anger and resentment.
"Qing'er actually arranged her in Yide Palace! Good, good, what a good child!" The cold words squeezed out from between her teeth, destroying her bright face shape and instantly making her look gloomy.
He slammed his hand heavily on the table, and the sharp knuckles scratched the rosewood tabletop, leaving four long scratches.
"My Lady Dowager, the Emperor has not favored any other concubines for a long time because of the Empress, and has ordered that anyone who dares to disrespect the Empress be banished to the cold palace."
"Bang" Concubine Wu was even more furious. She grabbed the teapot on the table and smashed it hard at the palace maid who was reporting. The teacup shattered to the ground and the tea splashed all over the palace maid. However, the palace maid did not dare to wipe it. She just lowered her head and dared not say a word.
"Get out!" These words spoken with gritted teeth were good news to all the palace maids and eunuchs. They quickly retreated like dogs that had lost their homes.
Suddenly, Concubine Wu was the only one left in the huge palace.
"Come here, please ask the emperor to go to the Cining Palace."
"Yes."
"Mother, may I know why you called me?" Hai Dongqing was still humble and polite to Concubine Wu, with his signature smile on his face.
"How could the prince not know?" Concubine Wu looked at him expressionlessly and took a sip of tea nonchalantly.
"Haha, how could others guess the exquisite mind of my mother?"
"How could you not guess?!" Concubine Wu was furious. She stood up and roared, "You clearly know that Yidie Palace is the pain in my heart, but you still want to place that woman there. What do you want? Do you want to piss me off to death?"
"What are you talking about, mother? There are mountains of rare treasures in Yidie Palace. Are they just going to be left there empty? Wouldn't it be a good idea for me to let the queen live there to make the best use of it?"
"Nonsense! You said she is the queen, so she should live in Fengxiang Palace. Why is she living in Yidie Palace?"
"Fengxiang Palace is not as comfortable as Yidie Palace."
"Bang!" Concubine Wu punched the table heavily in anger and said angrily, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Hai Dongqing glanced at Concubine Wu calmly, and said with a mocking smile, "What's wrong? It's just a palace, why should mother care about it? I remember that since I can remember, mother has had an inexplicable hatred and fear towards Yidie Palace. Is mother hiding something?"
"What did you say? Have you grown so strong that you dare to criticize your mother like this? Don't forget that you are where you are today because of the Wu family."
Hai Dongqing's face turned cold, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes, which was fleeting. He said calmly, "Mother, you don't need to remind me all the time. Tell me that it is all my credit that I am where I am today. Don't think that I don't know. If it weren't for my ability that impressed you, how could you have helped me to ascend to the throne? Moreover, since I ascended to the throne, I have taken good care of the Wu family and raised them to a position that no one can match. Mother has devoted herself to the Wu family, and I am worthy of the Wu family."
"You..." Concubine Wu was shaking with anger, pointing at Hai Dongqing and saying, "What are you talking about, you bastard? You are my only son. Who else can I support if not you? You can stand out among the many princes with the full support of the Wu family. What's wrong with repaying the Wu family?"
"Since mother also knows that I am her only son, why do you keep mentioning this achievement every day? Mother, don't forget that although your surname is Wu, you are from the Hai family. In the future, you will be buried in the royal mausoleum instead of the Wu family's tomb!"
"You..." Concubine Wu sat heavily on the stool, her face uncertain. She looked at Haidongqing breathlessly without saying a word.
Hai Dongqing chuckled, walked to Concubine Wu, and said softly, "What's wrong with mother today? Are you suddenly angry with me? Now the East Kingdom is my East Kingdom, and soon even the world will be my world. I am in my position but I always remember your kindness, and always hope that you can live in the Cining Palace and enjoy your old age. It's better to let the four concubines take care of the affairs of the harem, so as not to make your beauty fade away due to the passage of time."
Concubine Wu was shocked and looked at Hai Dongqing in disbelief. What did this mean? Was he going to take away her power?
His words were clearly threatening. If she could ignore it, she might be able to continue living a life of wealth and glory. Otherwise...
Her face turned pale and then blue, and after a while she said, "What do you mean? Do you think I'm not good at managing the harem?"
"How could that be? I am also worried that my mother will be overworked. I didn't have a queen before, but now I have one. If I let my mother work too hard, I am afraid that the ministers will accuse me of being unfilial."
"Your queen is obviously from another country. Do you think you can rest assured if you leave your harem to her?"
"Mother, it seems that you didn't hear clearly what I meant. I meant to leave the harem to the four concubines to manage together."
Concubine Wu blurted out in anger: "The harem has always been managed by the Queen. Aren't you afraid of criticism from the ministers if you let the four concubines take care of it?"
Hai Dongqing smiled faintly and looked at Empress Dowager Wu without saying a word, but the ridicule in his eyes made Empress Dowager Wu sober up. Yes, how could he be afraid? The four concubines were all from the four major families of the East Country. Letting them manage together, those ministers would be happy, how could they have any objections? It seems that he is determined to take the power of the harem away from her this time.
No, how could she be willing to do that!
This may be Hai Dongqing's first step, and the next step may be to deal with the Wu family.
She would never allow Hai Dongqing to do this! The only way was to let the new queen take control of the harem. This newcomer had no roots and no foundation, so she could control him.
Thinking of this, she said with a fake smile: "My prince is really thoughtful. I appreciate your filial piety, but I am not old yet, and I am happy to be able to help you."
"I appreciate your love for me, but I can't bear to see you get tired. Tomorrow I will ask the four concubines to come to you for advice. I hope you can teach them carefully and let them share your worries as soon as possible."
Her heart felt heavy, and she smiled and said, "Since your Highness has said so, if I insist, it will seem that I am reluctant to give up my power. In fact, managing the harem looks glorious, but who knows how hard it is! This is good, I am happy to have some free time. However, the new queen has just been established, and it would be disrespectful to let the four concubines manage the harem together. It is better to let the new queen manage the harem and the four concubines assist her. What do you think, my Highness?"
Hai Dongqing glanced at Empress Dowager Wu with a half-smile, then said modestly, "Whatever my mother says is what I will do."
Seeing him pretending to be filial, Empress Dowager Wu clenched her fingers tightly, and her nails poked her palms so hard that it hurt.
After the pain subsided, she regained some consciousness. She said slowly, "The new queen has been appointed. Even if you still love her, you should let her see me, right?"
"Of course. I will ask her to come and pay her respects to you tomorrow."
"Well, you are busy with state affairs, so I won't keep you here. You need to take care of your health."
"Thank you for your concern, mother. I will take my leave."
Haidongqing saluted and walked out.
After he left the palace, Concubine Wu's eyes were filled with crazy murderous intent. She picked up a teacup and threw it fiercely towards where he disappeared, saying coldly: "Since I can help you up, I can also pull you down. Send you to see that bitch!"
After Hai Dongqing walked out of the Cining Palace, his face was covered with coldness, just like thousands of miles of ice and snow, which made people frostbitten.
He walked slowly into the Imperial Garden, and when he reached a fork in the road, he ordered, "Go to Yidie Palace."
"Your Majesty." When the palace maids and eunuchs of Yide Palace saw Hai Dongqing coming, they all knelt on the ground.
Mo Lishang was reading a book without any expression on his face.
"Why are you reading every time I come?"
"Books are the golden house." Mo Lishang responded indifferently, his head still buried in the book.
"Is the book more interesting than me? As long as you please me, I will build you a golden house, how about that?" Hai Dongqing couldn't help but make a joke.
He looked at Hai Dongqing thoughtfully and said calmly, "What's wrong with the King of the East? Why do you seem so weird today?"
"Why can't I hide any changes from you? I have so many concubines, but they only know how to please me and flatter me, but they never understand me and can't see through my heart."
With a slight movement in his heart, Mo Lishang put the book aside, buried himself comfortably in the armchair, and smiled lightly: "Isn't this great? Isn't this what you are pursuing, King Dong?"
Hai Dongqing looked at her straight in the eyes and said in a deep voice: "Do you really think so? If it was Prince Mingyue, would you also answer so perfunctorily?"
Mo Lishang's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently: "You are not Mingyue."
His heart ached slightly, and he smiled bitterly, "Yes, in your heart, Prince Mingyue is the sky, your life, even beyond your life."
"It's good that you know." Mo Lishang nodded solemnly.
"Sometimes I envy Prince Mingyue very much, but he has won the heart of one person and will be with him till old age. He is in a high position and is surrounded by endless conspiracies every day. He never trusts others, and there is no one around him whom he can trust, let alone someone he knows and loves. But he has both, which really makes me envious."
"Opportunities are given to you only after you give them to others. Trust is mutual, and so is love."
Hai Dongqing smiled slightly and said softly, "If I give you a chance, will you give it to me?"
"This joke is not funny!"
“Hahaha…” Hai Dongqing laughed, hiding his slight disappointment and frustration, and said in a half-truthful tone: “It’s rare for me to make a joke but you don’t cooperate. I’m sorry.”
Mo Lishang's eyes flickered as he looked at Hai Dongqing and said, "Today's East King is really not like the East King of the past."
"What was the lonely king like before? What is he like now?"
"The former East King always used a false smile to hide his sinister and vicious heart. Today's East King seems to have more emotions."
The smile on Haidongqing's face froze slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.
After a long while, he said faintly: "Do you know who lived in this Yidie Palace before?"
"You mean this golden birdcage?"
Hai Dongqing sighed softly after a slight pause, "You actually call this magnificent palace full of rare treasures from the East a birdcage?"
"I'd rather die than be without freedom. If I'm locked up here, what else can I do but be in a birdcage?"
Hai Dongqing was silent for a while, then he sighed and said, "Maybe you are right. Didn't Concubine Die use this as a birdcage?"
