Chapter 184 Palace Intrigue World: A Harem Pierced Through Like a Sickle VS An Awakened Emperor with
The previous dynasty was already enough of a headache for him, how come the harem seems even more dangerous than the previous dynasty?
Xiao Jing'an flicked his sleeves and shouted angrily, "Return to the palace!"
But there's still Consort Su here!
Zhao Derang quickly stepped forward, jogged a few steps, and reminded Xiao Jing'an.
"Your Majesty, what should be done with this Consort Su?"
Upon hearing Su Jinyue's name, Xiao Jing'an paused, turned back to look at her, and his eyes darted around.
“Consort Su has been disrespectful before the Emperor and has disturbed His Majesty’s presence. She shall be punished by being confined to her quarters for one month.”
Su Jinyue thanked him with tears of gratitude on her face, saying, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty! This servant will definitely reflect on my mistakes."
In reality, Su Jinyue was cursing Xiao Jing'an in her heart.
"Damn Xiao Jing'an, do you know what situation you're in right now? Your harem is fraught with danger, and your life is in danger. How dare you confine me to my quarters?"
Xiao Jing'an! You, this public cucumber, you absolutely must keep your chastity. If you really get defiled by some woman, I really won't save you.
No, I can't keep an eye on it all the time; there's still a risk. How about we cut it in advance? Without that feature, everyone will stop worrying about it…”
Even after Xiao Jing'an had walked quite a distance, he could still hear Su Jinyue's grumbling and cursing, and she was becoming increasingly disrespectful to him.
Xiao Jing'an's face grew darker and darker. "Su Jinyue, you just wait. You'll see what happens to you later. You actually wanted to turn me into a eunuch!"
Back in the Imperial Study in the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Jing'an was still not satisfied. He dismissed the attendants and left Li Derang alone. He then whispered a few instructions to him and sent him off to carry them out.
Upon hearing Xiao Jing'an's instructions, Li Derang first looked at Xiao Jing'an in surprise and disbelief, and only after confirming that this was indeed the order did he step back to carry out his work.
After finishing this task, Xiao Jing'an's depressed mood eased somewhat.
Thinking about Su Jinyue's inner thoughts, Xiao Jing'an pondered for a long time before summoning the leader of the secret guards.
"An Yi, all newly appointed concubines in the palace should be kept under surveillance by secret guards to check for any unusual behavior. Any strange actions should be recorded and reported."
Moreover, someone should be sent to keep an eye on the Empress; we must be extremely careful.
The main focus was on the Empress, the two Imperial Concubines, and Wei Yanxi and Wei Chang.
Did you understand?
"Yes, An Yi understands!"
As the head of the secret guards directly under the emperor, An Yi always obeyed the emperor's orders without ever asking why.
Once he understood what Xiao Jing'an wanted him to do, he did it decisively.
Judging from Su Jinyue's thoughts, some of these transmigrated people from another world are meticulous, while others are not so clever.
Xiao Jing'an was able to safely navigate the struggle for the throne and even win the final victory; he was never someone to be trifled with.
What he showed on the outside was always a disguise; he always preferred to plan carefully before acting.
Those people from another world are not of our kind, and their hearts must be different!
Their goals all seemed to revolve around Xiao Jing'an, or rather, around the identity of the emperor.
Xiao Jing'an had to consider not only his own safety, but also how to control them, and even how to make them work for him...
Then, Xiao Jing'an suddenly remembered something and called Li Derang in.
"Li Derang, tomorrow morning, when the palace gates open, send someone to the outskirts of the capital to invite Master Xuanqing of Xuanqing Temple and the abbot of Huangjue Temple into the palace."
I want to see these two people after the morning court session tomorrow.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it immediately."
Li Derang obeyed and left, and the study returned to silence.
Xiao Jing'an leaned against the dragon throne, tapping his fingers on the armrest, and closed his eyes in deep thought. He couldn't rush things. As the emperor, he was the ruler of the world and had an absolute advantage in terms of status.
He's not afraid of anyone!
If Su Jinyue knew Xiao Jing'an's thoughts, she would probably laugh at his naiveté.
If they were just people from other worlds who had traveled here, there would be nothing to be afraid of, but they also brought a system with them!
The system's strangeness is beyond the capabilities of an ordinary person like Xiao Jing'an.
Some system shops have many strange and unusual items that the host can purchase to achieve their goals.
Some systems can even force a person to do certain things!
Therefore, Su Jinyue is always highly vigilant about these kinds of uncontrollable things!
On the way back, those in the know already knew that Su Jinyue was under house arrest, yet she still came out to watch the commotion late at night.
Fortunately, the people around here were all nobles and attendants of similar rank to Su Jinyue, so Su Jinyue didn't need to worry about them.
Moreover, Su Jinyue was only confined to her quarters, not treated differently by the Emperor or given any gifts. Therefore, the people around her were gloating over Su Jinyue's misfortune and did not take her seriously.
She was punished by the Emperor on her first visit to the palace; it seems Su Jinyue was simply not lucky.
Those who were initially jealous that she got to see the Emperor are no longer envious; they only offer her cold ridicule.
Su Jinyue didn't care about other people's attitudes at all; she was currently talking to the system, Kongkong.
However, just as Su Jinyue was about to reach the entrance of her palace, a woman dressed as a palace maid suddenly touched her and then quickly separated.
Immediately after that contact, Su Jinyue keenly sensed that something had entered her body through the palace maid's hand.
The strange thing that entered Su Jinyue's body quickly roamed all over her body, then grabbed something inside her body and began to pull it out.
Su Jinyue instinctively tried to stop it, but her consciousness and the strange thing that had entered her body seemed to be on different dimensions, and Su Jinyue was unable to stop it at all.
"Kong Kong!" In her desperation, Su Jinyue directly sought help from the system Kong Kong.
Kongkong also noticed the host's abnormality. It quickly pounced over and successfully intercepted the strange thing before it could leave Su Jinyue.
"Huh?" When Kongkong was examining the strange thing, he seemed to have discovered something. Then Kongkong grabbed the thing and disappeared. Before disappearing, he didn't forget to tell Su Jinyue.
"Host, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."
Before Su Jinyue could even speak, Kongkong flew away.
Su Jinyue sighed inwardly. Oh well, judging from Kongkong's tone before he left, he seemed both happy and impatient. There shouldn't be any danger. Let him be.
The palace servants escorting Su Jinyue arrived at the palace where Su Jinyue lived, and after seeing her go inside, they locked the palace doors and went back.
When Su Jinyue entered, she subtly glanced at the palace maid who had just met her and memorized her appearance.
Su Jinyue is unable to act now, but if anyone dares to harm her, they shouldn't blame her for retaliating!
Upon returning to her residence, she learned that she had angered the Emperor by meeting him once and had been confined to her quarters.
The palace maids and eunuchs who had previously been very attentive to Su Jinyue, a pretty concubine, became visibly indifferent.
