"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Queen Wang shook her head desperately. When she saw someone taking out the Phoenix Seal, she immediately rushed forward to snatch it.

"This belongs to me. You dog slaves dare to get involved. Come on, I will pull them down and kill them."

However, Wang De stared at Queen Wang coldly.

"Empress, do you want to resist the decree?"

"Resisting the decree? What kind of imperial decree does he issue? He is just..."

"The Queen, be careful what you say."

Wang De's voice suddenly rose, and then he asked the people below to pull the queen away, and he personally stepped forward to take the phoenix seal.

"Queen, please think about your past and don't make any more mistakes. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Duke of Zhen Guo won't be able to protect you."

After that, Wang De led the people out of Fengqi Palace.

"From today onwards, you will stay here for a long time. Fengqi Palace is only allowed in and out. If you don't do this, be careful with your heads."

When Wang De said this, he did not lower his voice, as if he was shouting to Fengqi Palace.

At this time, Queen Wang was no longer as calm and noble as before. She fell to the ground in despair, shaking her head crazily.

She didn't believe what happened today.

Why would my brother see himself being punished like this? This shouldn't be the case.

"Mother Li, did you personally deliver the letter I just sent you yesterday to the Duke of Zhenguo?"

Grandma Li nodded silently. She was smart, and she was not like Empress Wang who lost her mind because of the impact of this incident.

On the contrary, she was still rational and very clear. Wang De just said that Duke Zhen Guo also agreed to such a punishment.

What does this sentence mean?

This shows that Duke Zhenguo did not intend to take action as stated in the Queen's letter, but instead gave up the Queen and control of the palace in order to protect himself.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the queen complicatedly and sighed in her heart, fearing that this woman's life would not be easy in the future.

Without the support of Duke Zhenguo, the emperor will not be as respectful as before. From now on, in this deep palace, the queen will be finished.

"From now on, the affairs of the harem will be left to you. Don't let me live up to my expectations."

Concubine Zhao was overjoyed when she accepted the Phoenix Seal, but on the surface she was very respectful.

"I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty."

Zhaobi came from the Luo family, one of the four great aristocratic families. Although because of this background, she survived from the hands of the queen.

But she knew very well that she was just a dispensable existence in the Luo family. In addition, she had been in the palace for many years and had no children, so the Luo family had already given up on her long ago.

The Luo family has had almost no contact with her in these years, and she has long understood that the family just wants to use her.

She wants to live a good life and be rich and glorious, but her family cannot give it to her.

The only one who can give her is Emperor Hongwen.

Moreover, what happened to Queen Wang this time also made her determined not to be controlled by the Luo family in the future.

Otherwise, I am afraid that my fate will be even more miserable than that of Queen Wang.

After all, if the king and queen with the background of Zhen Guogong have fallen, what does the Luo family mean? Who does she mean to the Luo family?

"I have always known that you are a smart person. You should know how to do some things even if I don't say them."

"I understand."

Emperor Hongwen nodded and said to Wang De, "Pass the decree to promote Concubine Zhao to the rank of virtuous concubine."

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

The news of Zhaobi's promotion and taking over the harem soon spread in the harem.

When Concubine De heard the news, she was extremely angry. She didn't understand why His Majesty would leave such a matter to Concubine Zhao.

You must know that before Zhaobi was promoted, she had the highest status in the entire harem except the queen, so the matter of taking over the harem should fall on her.

Why is this happening now.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty's decree has been issued. If you do this again, it will inevitably spread to the ears of your concubine Zhao. It will not be a good thing for you."

Hearing this, Concubine De took a few deep breaths, nodded and said, "Go and choose a good gift, and go with me to congratulate Concubine Xian."

Concubine De was able to survive in this harem for so many years because she was not without brains. Although she was angry and dissatisfied, she would not make trouble foolishly.

After all, Concubine Xian is in power now, and she has a pair of young children. If she goes to cause trouble, it will not be a good thing for them.

Besides, as long as the queen is not in charge, in Concubine De's mind, that's a good thing.

As for the virtuous concubine, she was framed by the queen and never thought of having children in her life. A person in power without children didn't seem to be that big of a threat to her.

"Tsk, tsk, how come there has been such a huge change in less than one day and one night."

Chengyuan Villa, Lu Yaoyao has always been paying attention to the news in the capital.

After hearing about what happened this morning, she asked Qiu Shuang to go to the Black Cloud Hunters to put down their preparations.

Last night, she was really worried that the Zhenguo Guild would cause chaos.

However, Heiyun Shou has been prepared. If there is a problem in the capital, she will work together from inside and outside to get the Lu family out first, and then she will take people to the palace to meet King Jin.

But fortunately, everything did not develop in the worst direction.

Now that the queen has been imprisoned, from her perspective, Emperor Hongwen has won a great victory this time. In the future, life for Zhen Guogong and his faction will become increasingly difficult.

"Miss, what should we do next?"

"Just do what you have to do."

Lu Yaoyao smiled, but the next moment, her brows furrowed.

"It seems like I have to go to the capital for a trip."

On the same day, she went to the capital, but instead of going to see King Jin, she went directly to the Lu family.

She originally let the Lu family settle in the capital because she wanted the Lu family to have a good future. However, after what happened yesterday, she felt that the capital was not very safe either.

So she thought she could ask Grandpa and the others to move directly to Chengyuan Villa, so that even if something messy happened in the capital, they could retreat more quickly.

Besides, the town next to Chengyuan Villa is now her fiefdom. It is not a small place and needs help from people to manage it. It seems that the Lu family's place there is better than staying in the capital.

It's not that far from the capital anyway.

Of course she didn't talk about what happened yesterday, she just said that she needed help managing her fiefdom. She was really helpless on her own and wanted the Lu family to come over and help.

"It's a good relationship. Anyway, our current workshops are all in Chengyuan Villa. You can ask others to help manage the shops in the capital. You don't need to guard them here yourself."

"I was still discussing with my elder brother whether we should do some other business. Since Yaoyao needs help, we can go there."

As soon as Lu Kang spoke, Lu Xiu and Mr. Lu beside him nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, anyway, it's not far from the capital, and it's home, so it's good to go there."

Soon everyone in the Lu family reached a consensus, but it would take some time for the whole family to move there.
