I followed Chang Qing and walked out.

This is not my first time to go to the main hall, but it is the first time I went to the main hall on the day my courtiers went to court. Every step I took was like stepping on my heart, my heart beating like thunder.

As soon as I walked to the back of the hall, I felt a particularly depressing breath, like a dark cloud covering the roof.

But, there was no sound at all.

It was so quiet that I couldn't even hear the sound of the wind. I even wondered if no one came to court at all, and only the empty hall was waiting for us. However, when I followed Chang Qing slowly and walked to the main entrance of the hall, I saw that there were already a lot of civil and military officials standing in a row.

The sunlight casts Chang Qing and my shadow onto the ground, and it is also solidified. Until this time, when Eunuch Yu, who was standing in front, saw us, he immediately shouted: "The Empress is here!"

Immediately, a neat sound rang out in the hall.

All the officials turned their heads and looked at us.

I didn't look up, but even if I didn't look up, I could still feel the hotness from the eyes, as if sparks were about to emerge, all of which fell on us, almost igniting my clothes and burning my skin.

I followed Chang Qing, walked past the threshold, and walked into the hall.

There was still no sound here. If I hadn't seen the eyes of the ministers on both sides from the corner of my eyes and the shaking corners of my clothes, I would have thought that this place was empty.

When we walked in, I saw several familiar figures in the corner of my eyes in the crowd.

Gao Tianzhang, Qi Fang, Censor Pang Zheng...

Zheng Zhui, Fang Tongge...

Then, I saw Nangong Jinhong standing in front of the queue with a expressionless face. When he heard the voice of Eunuch Yu, he slowly turned around and looked at us, but there was still no fluctuation on his face.

I only looked at him, immediately turned my eyes away, and saw Fu Badai standing silently not far away. He was quietly looking here, neither looking at him nor whispering to the people around him. Only Chabixing, who was allowed to accompany him to court because of his inconvenience in his eyes, squeezed his eyes at us.

Although I usually want to laugh when I see this golden monkey, I really don’t feel like laughing at this moment.

I just nodded to him gently.

Then, Chang Qing had already walked up the hall. Below the steps, she had just turned around and faced the officials with various expressions and expressions, these civil and military officials had already saluted her in one go, and shouted: "I'll pay homage to the Queen."

She raised her hand: "You don't have to be too polite for everyone."

Then, they slowly stood up.

I stood behind Chang Qing and looked at the entire court, and every face that was particularly clear at the moment, I felt a very strange feeling. It turned out that this was what the civil and military officials on the other side could see. For some reason, it felt a bit unreal.

At this time, the Censor Fang Tongting had already stood out from the queue, saluted Chang Qing, and said, "Empress, today is the day when the ministers and the emperor discuss national affairs. No woman has ever appeared in the court in all dynasties. I wonder what is the important thing about the Empress suddenly arrive today?"

The censor was very sharp and as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly stabbed Chang Qing with his identity as a woman.

Chang Qing had long expected this to happen, so she smiled faintly and said, "Censor Fang doesn't have to worry about it. I am not here today to speak out in this court, but to upload an oral order on behalf of the emperor."

The people below immediately became quiet, and no one even asked what the oral order was.

But Chang Qing still smiled and said solemnly: "The emperor is overworked today and his dragon body is not safe today, so it is inconvenient to go to court. Dear families, please go back first."

This time, the entire hall suddenly became quiet.

My breathing was also interrupted at this moment.

Although I was standing behind Chang Qing, I could still feel the unchanging, gentle and calm smile on her face. Facing the civil and military officials with different thoughts below, she said calmly: "Did you all hear it?"

...

The hall was so quiet that no one spoke or moved.

"People, please come back."

...

"Please go back."

Still no one responded.

This kind of quietness was a stalemate at the beginning, and after a long period of stalemate, it turned into a confrontation. Chang Qing's smile did not change, but the expressions on the faces of the people below had obviously sunk.

At this time, a voice said, "I don't know where the Empress wants me to go back?"

When I turned around, I saw that it was Zheng Zhui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

He slowly walked out of the queue and saluted Chang Qing.

Chang Qing was not moved at all and said with a smile: "Of course I'm going to go back to your departments to handle the official duties of your departments."

Zheng Zhuiyi looked expressionless: "So, how should the Empress, the Ministry of Revenue's official affairs be handled?"

Chang Qing was stunned.

Although she made many preparations, she was indeed unable to prepare for the specific handling of the official affairs of each department. Zheng Zhui did not wait for her to react and immediately continued: "I think the Empress leads the harem and does not understand the affairs of the previous dynasty. Now the official documents of the Ministry of Revenue must be issued and executed by the emperor's handwritten comments. Before, all the memorials, official documents, ministers, etc. have been loyal to the imperial study room, but none of them have been approved. By today, it has been the seventh day. The Emperor has neither given nor oral instructions. The Empress asks the Minister to go back to handle official affairs. How should this official affairs be handled?"

These words completely ignited the entire hall.

Next, the courtiers who had just kept silent suddenly opened up, as if they had finally found an opportunity to talk and all started to argue loudly towards Chang Qing.

What is "The Ministry of Works reported five million warships to build, and the decree has been issued, but the money has not been released yet."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! What is "Henan famine, refugees may change when gathering together."

What is "thieves appear in Shanxi".

For a moment, the entire hall was clamoring, as if a pot of boiling water had been boiled, and the roof of the hall was almost overturned.

I heard Chang Qing inhaling vigorously, and she was trying her best to calm herself down.

And at this moment, a man slowly walked out of the queue, stood in the middle of the hall, and bowed to Chang Qing.

As soon as he opened his mouth, no one was in command, everyone seemed to have received silent orders and stopped at the same time. The man's voice sounded in the quiet hall and suddenly pierced into people's ears.

"Empress, the old minister has a word, I want to ask the Empress."

It's Nangong Jinhong!

He finally came out and spoke!

My heart suddenly rose, but I still tried my best to suppress my heartbeat. Looking at him calmly, Chang Qing continued to smile and said, "Mr. Nangong, please ask if you have anything to do."

Nangong Jinhong said: "What the Empress said just now is that the emperor is overworked and his dragon body is not safe. The old minister would like to ask, why is the emperor overworked and why the dragon body is not safe? Can an imperial physician treat it? What is the result?"

Chang Qing smiled and said, "It's still Nangong's body to comfort the holy heart."

"Don't dare."

"Actually, this time, the emperor's fatigue is mainly because of Princess Miaoyan." Chang Qing said, looking back at us, I nodded slightly at her, and then she turned around and continued, "All my dear friends probably know that since Princess Miaoyan returned to Beijing, she has been suffering from old illnesses. This time, she has fallen ill for several days in a row. The emperor loves the princess and has been by the princess, so-"

Nangong Jinhong immediately said, "Why, Your Highness is here safely and soundly at this moment?"

Before Chang Qing could answer, Miaoyan immediately said loudly: "Of course it's because this princess's illness is cured!"

Her words were answered neatly. Chang Qing smiled and said softly: "That is the blessing of the emperor. However, His Highness the Princess has recovered, but the Emperor—"

This time, everyone became quiet again.

We looked at those people carefully. Naturally, these words were already prepared from the beginning when I claimed to the public. There is no obvious flaw. The only problem is-

Nangong Jinhong lowered his head, raised his eyes slightly and looked at us, and suddenly said, "Miss Yan."

My spirit frightened, and I immediately looked up and met his gaze: "What's the matter?"

He said to me, "Miss Yan knows that as a commoner, he is not qualified to come to this court."

I smiled and said, "Of course I know this very well, but because today's affairs are related to His Royal Highness, as the princess' mother, I must accompany me."

He also looked at me with a smile: "I'm afraid, this is not the most important reason."

I felt that he had already pointed the topic at me, and took a step forward in a peaceful manner and said calmly: "Mr. Nangong thinks, is there any other reason?"

He said, "I heard that since the emperor entered Yihua Palace seven days ago and had dinner with Miss Yan and His Highness the Princess, he has never left the palace gate of Yihua Palace again. Although someone seemed to hear that the emperor was going to return to the imperial study room, he still did not receive the emperor. Then, the emperor has been staying in Yihua Palace until now, right?"

My heart was slightly tightened.

I never doubt that he has his own spy in the inner palace. At least, his daughter is a concubine, so it is impossible for him to not pay attention to the affairs of the harem at all, but what I didn't expect was that he could know so carefully!

I forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect that the matter in the harem was so detailed, Lord Nangong knew so clearly."

He did not answer my words, but continued, "And the Queen said just now that His Highness the Princess has been sick all the time. In other words, the one who has been with the emperor these days and knows the emperor's dragon body best is Miss Yan."

My smile slowly got curled up.

At this moment, we almost all guessed what he was going to ask. Chang Qing took a step forward and was about to speak, Nangong Jinhong said calmly: "I have also heard that in fact, the Empress has been in a state of health these days and has been recuperating in Jingren's Palace. She has not really entered Yihua Palace to visit. Therefore, when it comes to the emperor's affairs, I can only ask Miss Yan when I wait here."

His words also blocked Chang Qing's mouth.

I felt a cold sweat coming out on my head, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to wipe it, but looking at his cold gaze made me feel a chill, and the cold sweat suddenly shrank back. So I took a deep breath, looked straight into his eyes, and said calmly: "Mr. Nangong has anything to ask, may I ask."

"When did the emperor fall ill?"

"yesterday."

"Really?"

"Mr. Nangong knows so clearly when His Majesty the Emperor will enter Yihua Palace and when he will be ready to leave. He probably won't ignore one thing. Yesterday, the daughter of the daughter, the Imperial Concubine, told the empresses in the harem that the emperor was ill. Although the Empress did not enter Yihua Palace, the Imperial Concubine went there. When she saw His Majesty the Emperor, she persuaded His Majesty to rest."

Nangong Jinhong had no reaction yet, but the faces of the officials around him were sunk.

Obviously, they didn't know much about the harem, and they didn't expect that at this time, I would use the imperial concubine to slap Nangong Jinhong in the face.

They subconsciously looked at Nangong Jinhong and whispered: "Sir Nangong, this--"
