Chapter 878: Cold Palace (1)

Volume 9: Unified Will

Walking along the long corridor, the walls, floor tiles, columns, and the sculptures around are made of iron-gray stone, which looks thick and cold, giving people a feeling of no vitality.

Although the imperial concubine has experienced two dynasties and has heard of this place that made the concubines in the harem more than once, it is the first time she has personally set foot here!

The flowers and plants in the courtyard look a little messy due to poor repair. The two square columnar gardening robots seem to have insufficient energy. They leaned listlessly against the carved railings and did not move for a long time. The steps are full of yellow fallen leaves, and the floor tiles are still flat, and weeds are faintly poking out of their heads in the gap.

It was quiet around. Occasionally, a few old-fashioned and wooden-looking biochemical maids passed by from a distance, like walking corpses! There were many spider webs on the window frame, and the huge palace cluster seemed dead. After walking in it for a long time, even their mood would become extremely depressed!

She sighed in her heart, not knowing how many dreams and hopes of the beauties in the harem have been ruined since the completion of this place. All her youth is wasted in vain! Some people go crazy, some commit suicide, and some are lonely all their lives. Of course, there are a very small number of lucky people. They have seen the light of day again for various reasons and have the opportunity to leave, but there are too few examples like that!

During the period of the Shufeng Empire, she had witnessed many familiar sisters who were ordered by the queen to be sent to the tomb of the living dead and waiting for death in despair and helplessness! Most of them were innocent, but because they did not like the woman and did not have a strong enough family as a backing, they had to accept such a miserable fate. However, the emperor at that time pretended to be deaf and dumb, regardless of whether he was concerned, he let the vicious woman do whatever he wanted!

Only the current emperor did a good thing, released all the women home, and then ordered the palace to be closed.

But after several years of silence, it had to be activated again, and the first prisoner she welcomed was the queen who was the lord of the central palace!

After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the place.

It can be seen that this palace is relatively neat and tidy, and it has obviously been cleaned up to a certain extent recently, making it not as dilapidated and messy as other places that are still sealed.

A team of female guards guarded the door. After the major general came over to show his ID, the captain ordered the door to open and let Feng Lanxi walk in.

The furnishings in the hall are extremely simple, not like the residence of a queen at all.

She looked around for a while, and in one corner of the hall, a small Buddha niche was enshrined. The Buddha lamp was bright, and the blue smoke in the incense burner circled, changing in complex and changing shapes in the air. Xiao Muhan, wearing an ordinary green dress, sat in front of the incense burner, staring at the peaceful Buddha statue and dazed intent.

Hearing the slight footsteps deliberately slowing down from behind, she slowly turned her head and saw that the imperial concubine in white clothes was as elegant as snow stood not far away, staring at her calmly.

She didn't say anything, and the other party had no intention of speaking. The two most prominent women in the Starry Empire's court looked at each other silently, silently for a long time.

"Are you here?" After a long silence, Xiao Muhan's hoarse voice finally rang in the hall.

Feng Lanxi nodded slightly: "Yes, I'll see you!"

After a pause, she added: "This is what Your Majesty meant, and...them!"

Xiao Muhan's lips curled up, and a faint smile appeared: "Okay! I have seen it now, so what should I do next? Where is His Majesty's will? Take it out and announce it!"

"I said that I just came to see you and talk to you by the way. As for Your Majesty's meaning, I don't know now!" Feng Lanxi said softly.

Xiao Muhan was obviously a little surprised: "Did he still not make up his mind now? I thought you would come with poisonous wine, white silk this time! Of course, according to convention, the head of the inner court and the guards of the same palace came to read the edict, and the nobles sent personnel to supervise and implement it. You shouldn't do this!"

"You know this program very well!" Feng Lanxi smiled slightly, sat down gracefully beside her, and continued:

"You can rest assured that at least you will never wait for that scene before something happens!"

"What are the things?" Xiao Muhan asked with a smile.

The Imperial Concubine took out a stack of documents from the space bracelet and handed them to her.

Xiao Muhan took it and flipped a few pages, and his face suddenly turned red! A hint of murderous intent was released, locking every vital point around her!

However, the wise man did not seem panic at all, but just sat quietly and did not take her reaction seriously.

"Even if I deserve to die, it would be fine if you ask Your Majesty to give me a glass of poisonous wine! Why do you have to make such a thing to defame my innocence?" She gritted her teeth and said.

It was a detailed investigation report on Queen Xiao’s past experience, including her private life being slutty, having an affair with many men when she was underage, and being a regular visitor to the Masked Dance in the Gnaslok Empire Palace, affair with many royal members, and even various details are recorded in detail!

In other words, Yun Haoyu, the founding master of the Starlight Empire, was just one of her many men at that time!

"This is not my original intention, nor is it the plan of anyone, but the common will of all the sisters in the harem!" Feng Lanxi said calmly, "Don't find it difficult to understand, just because you did some time ago, offended all the sisters! Therefore, they felt that it was necessary to help Your Majesty make this difficult decision and execute you!"

Xiao Muhan's face was as pale as paper and whispered: "Will Your Majesty believe in such a false thing? With his mind, it is impossible for him to believe in a forged material easily, right?"

Feng Lanxi smiled: "Yes, this material is indeed fake. All the things above are fabricated out of thin air! The problem is that all the girls in the harem believe it. If I believe it too and are willing to sign and agree, then the fake will become real! Your Majesty will naturally believe it!"

Xiao Muhan's delicate body trembled slightly: "Why do you... do so utterly? Even if I am not right, even if I deserve to die, but my thoughts towards Your Majesty remain unchanged! Why do you frame me like this?"

"You have to ask yourself!" Feng Lanxi sighed, "Your Majesty was trapped and Empress Fang was abducted again. The entire imperial capital belongs to you. At this critical moment, not only do you not find a way to save Your Majesty, but you indulge your own tribe members to do so many evil things that are angered by both people and gods! Do you think they shouldn't hate you?"

"But that was not my original intention. Many things were done by them without hiding them!" Xiao Muhan defended urgently.

Feng Lanxi said calmly: "Some things you haven't done before, it doesn't mean you have no responsibility! Your tribe members are so arrogant and cannot tell the truth, and aren't you relying on your status? You know that this is wrong, and that it will cause the empire, so why don't you take decisive measures to stop it?"

"You are the legitimate queen of the empire. From beginning to end, your power has not been suppressed. As long as you are willing, no matter how powerful your tribe members are, they will definitely be unable to fight! Why don't you do it?"

"This..." Xiao Muhan wanted to explain, but suddenly found that he had no way to start.

The great wise man seemed to have insight into her thoughts and said gently: "Of course you know what's going on, but this reason is a bit unprofitable, so let me tell you!"

"Princess Yun Qixuan was born for you and was the legal first heir of the empire. If Your Majesty fell, it would be natural for her to take over the throne! At that time, you were already considering how to let your daughter inherit the empire. For this reason, you must rely on the power of your family, so you will tolerate their behavior!"

"But you didn't expect that the many sisters in the harem, the civil and military ministers around His Majesty, did not give up their efforts, and the God of Destiny still favors His Majesty. When your family gathered the fleet and attacked the Imperial Palace with Randall, have you ever thought about the fate of your failure?"

Xiao Muhan gritted his teeth and whispered: "If Your Majesty really dies, then will my behavior be considered a betrayal? It is always better to let Yun Qixuan succeed to the throne than to let the rebels like Randall take away the foundation of the empire, right?"

"Once the princess can't win that position, no matter who the new emperor is, the princess and my family will not survive! The situation at that time was so critical, Randall and Zhong Mingrui, and some inexplicable forces pressed forward step by step. I would prepare for it and make some preparations first, so I could only watch the other party take the lead and then cut us off!"

"I just thought about it twice. After all, no one knew His Majesty's status at that time. You are the wisest woman around His Majesty. Don't you understand the necessity of doing this?"

"That's right, Yun Qixuan is the blood of His Majesty. If His Majesty really falls, it's natural for her to take office! But are your own attitudes too anxious? Your Majesty is not dead yet! And your tribe members are eager to grab the squad and power! Even if there is a reason to do this, this eating look is a bit ugly!" Feng Lanxi stared at her coldly and said, "And from the standpoint of Your Majesty and us, your behavior and the behavior of your tribe members are absolutely unforgivable! In your heart, Your Majesty is not placed first by you. The one who occupies that position is your family!"

She raised her hand slightly, stopped Xiao Muhan, who was about to speak up and continued:

"Don't rush to deny it. Before I came here, I had already conducted the most comprehensive analysis and interpretation of your past experience. All the information you can collect is here with me! So you have not realized some things yourself, but your choice has exposed your inner thoughts!"

"When you first met with Your Majesty at Muyunxing, you didn't have much interest in him at all. But after spending a long time together, you became a true love. However, this relationship was limited. When the family's order was issued, you still chose the family, not your Majesty!"

"Later, you thought Your Majesty had died, and you found out that you were pregnant. Perhaps out of guilt, or other intentions, you still chose to let the child be born and raised her alone for two years! And this incident has always been remembered by Your Majesty and directly affected his attitude towards you now!"

"But what you did this time really disappointed him! His Majesty was indeed murderous in the Juntian Palace that day. If it weren't for Yu Xinzhe and I came forward to plead for you, you wouldn't have had the chance to come here!"

Xiao Muhan looked at her deeply: "So, why do you want to plead for me? Will doing this make you more likely to get the position of queen?"
