When Wei Ming heard what Xie Chenning said, he became extremely anxious.

Now, Wei Ming has agreed to take Mu Ni as his concubine, but if Lu Daixi knows about this idea, it will definitely cause chaos in the harem.

He knew the temperament of Imperial Concubine Lu Daixi very well. That woman had always been narrow-minded, and her jealousy was like a raging fire, which, once ignited, was difficult to extinguish.

Any slight dissatisfaction could cause a storm in the palace.

Wei Ming recalled Lu Daixi's past actions. Her jealousy and suppression of other concubines were so ruthless that they made people shudder.

He seemed to have seen that once Lu Daixi learned that Mu Ni would be taken as a concubine, she would definitely find ways to target Mu Ni everywhere.

Maybe he will make sarcastic remarks in words, maybe he will secretly sabotage in actions, or even maybe he will stir up a huge uproar and disturb the peace of the entire harem.

Mu Ni, the woman as beautiful as a spring flower, her every frown and smile touched Wei Ming's heart.

He didn't want to see her get hurt, and didn't want her to be involved in the harem struggles, but he had to do what he promised Mu Ni.

However, Lu Daixi's existence is like a powder keg that may explode at any time, which makes Wei Ming worried.

Just when Wei Ming was extremely anxious, he suddenly remembered how the Queen dealt with Concubine Li and Lu Daixi some time ago. It could be seen that Xie Chenning was skilled and decisive in managing the six palaces. Perhaps she had a way.

That's why Wei Ming came to Kunning Palace to find the queen.

"Empress, when you dealt with Li Bin and Guifei some time ago, I could see that you are very skilled in managing the six palaces. The situation in the harem is complicated now. After much thought, I think it is most appropriate for you to be in charge of the Phoenix Seal and the power of the six palaces."

Wei Ming sighed slightly, but there was still a hint of hope in his words.

However, at this moment, Xie Chenning had no desire for this power and refused without hesitation.

Xie Chenning raised her eyes slightly and looked at Wei Ming with a cold gaze. She shook her head slightly and spoke slowly:

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. Imperial Doctor Zhang has just said that I am not feeling well and need to rest for a while. I am no longer able to manage the affairs of the six palaces. And your Majesty's move may have other intentions. Since you want to secure a concubine position for your beloved, but don't want to face the wrath of the Imperial Concubine, you push this problem to me. Isn't this inappropriate?"

Wei Ming looked embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to respond.

He did have such thoughts. He wanted to fulfill his love for Mu Ni, but he also didn't want to be blamed by Lu Daixi.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about this? Why should I take on this thankless task? You know the imperial concubine well. She has always been arrogant and domineering. If she knew about this, she would definitely not give up easily. Why should I bother to get involved in this muddy water? Don't you think so?"

Xie Chenning looked at Wei Ming with sharp eyes, and he already knew what he was planning.

Wei Ming is really too greedy.

He was eager to help his beloved become a concubine, but he did not want to be reprimanded and blamed by Lu Daixi for this matter.

Now he wants to return the Phoenix Seal, which symbolizes the supreme power in the harem, and the authority to manage the six palaces back to himself. On the surface, it seems to be a good intention, but in fact it is a sinister intention, trying to divert all the conflicts to himself.

Seeing his true thoughts deep in his heart being ruthlessly exposed, Wei Ming couldn't help but feel a mixture of anger and shame rising in his heart.

"Empress, I originally thought that after handing over the power of managing the six palaces to you, some of the disputes and disturbances in the palace would be calmed down. I didn't expect that I had made a mistake in choosing the right person, and you are irresponsible!"

Facing Wei Ming's angry and loud accusations, Xie Chenning remained unusually calm.

"Your Majesty, although I am the queen, I am not omnipotent. It is impossible for me to be responsible for cleaning up and handling everything properly. As the ruler of a country, you should also have the ability to make correct decisions independently."

After hearing these sarcastic words, Wei Ming flicked his sleeves, turned around and left Kunning Palace without looking back.

After Wei Ming left, Xie Chenning lay on the chaise longue and pondered for a moment, then gently raised his hand and waved forward.

Nanny Lu, who had been waiting not far away, immediately walked up quickly and stood respectfully in front of Xie Chenning.

"What does your Majesty want me to do?" Nanny Lu bowed slightly, her tone respectful and polite.

Xie Chenning opened her red lips slightly and said slowly, "Go, tell Lu Daixi that Wei Ming is interested in taking a concubine. Remember, this matter must not be made public, and it must be kept secret."

Although her voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Madam Lu quickly responded, "Yes, I understand."

"Go check again and find out who that woman is." Xie Chenning nodded. She was very confident in the Xie family.

"I know."

After saying that, Nanny Lu bowed to Xie Chenning again, then turned around and left in a hurry, her figure quickly disappearing around the corner of the courtyard.

In Huayi Palace, Lu Daixi was slapped in the face a few days ago and lost face. She went to the imperial study to complain to the emperor, but the emperor did not severely punish the queen.

Lu Daixi was so angry that he couldn't sleep these past few days. Yesterday he learned that the Empress Dowager had issued an imperial decree for the Emperor to go to the Empress's palace.

As for what to do, that is certainly imaginable.

Lu Daixi's eyes were swollen from crying last night, and she had a fight during the day today.

Now her eyes were red and swollen, her face was burning from the slap, and her heart hurt even more.

Liuli, the personal maid, held a boiled egg and comforted Lu Daixi, "Your Majesty, you should rest well during this period. You can sleep with me again when the wound on your face has healed."

Having said that, Lu Daixi was not comforted. His eyes hurt, tears kept flowing, and his heart ached even more.

How could the Queen Mother do this? She forced the Emperor to go to the Queen's palace.

If her face hadn't been injured, how could she have given the queen a chance.

Once your face is healed you can go to bed with me. Thinking of this, Lu Daixi stood up suddenly and gave orders.

"Quick! Go get those bottles of ointment that the imperial physician prescribed! And apply the scar-removing glue to me!"

Liuli, the personal maid, had no choice but to hold Lu Daixi's arm and whispered, "My lady, you have already applied it many times today. The imperial physician has told you that you need to rest well now. This way, your face will heal faster."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

After hearing what Liuli said, Lu Daixi seemed to suddenly realize something and hurried back to the bedroom to rest.

…………

Nanny Lu acted efficiently and effectively, and the news soon reached the imperial concubine's palace. When Lu Daixi woke up from a nap, he felt like the sky had fallen on him.

She learned from the palace maid that Wei Ming intended to take a woman as his concubine, and that he had discussed it with the Queen. This was like a bolt from the blue, and instantly made her fall into endless silence.

What does this mean, Your Majesty?
