This is called changing one's heart with another, it is something that no power or authority can accomplish. Even the emperor wouldn't be able to make his subjects 100% loyal to him, but a friend is different, they can give up their lives for you and depend on each other for life and death.

When Geng Yuedong asked for leave, the Prime Minister Guo was immediately overjoyed, and thought, you are finally willing to give up your position. He immediately presented the imperial page with his imperial report and happily wrote down all of the recommended candidates.

"Yin Zhu, don't mess around now. Go back to the house of the Marquis as soon as possible. You've already been in the palace for a long time." The emperor said indifferently with a look of displeasure.

"Imperial Majesty, please listen to me. If I live in the Hou Mansion, I'll suffocate to death." Princess Yingzhu tugged on the Emperor's sleeve and acted like a spoiled child.

"Either you allow me to remarry, or you let me live in another house."

"Nonsense, your parents can't be separated from you, and elder Feng's title is still around. You naturally have to serve your mother-in-law well, and if you continue to act so wantonly, I'll send you to the temple."

The Princess Yingzhu felt wronged, seeing that the emperor was really angry, he did not dare to pester him, and could only lament about his own life. Although the Noble Consort Guo agreed to speak up for her, the result was still like this.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the papers for today have been delivered." Eunuch Bing and Eunuch Fu brought a stack of memorials to the table. The emperor waved his hands, signaling for the silver beads to leave and took a look at the first one himself.

"Pah!"

He was instantly enraged.

The report was made by Geng Yuedong, and it said that he had led troops in the Locked Yang Pass for more than ten years, and was not successful in any way. Now that the Chiron had invaded and he had lost troops, he asked the imperial government to send someone capable to guard the pass.

And what the Prime Minister Guo said was true, according to the facts, other people could be considered, and three would be recommended: Guo Mao, Lian Fang, and Wu Han.

"Guo Daoyan, you bastard!" The emperor scolded in anger. These three people were either the Guo Family relatives or Guo Daoyan's son-in-law, he did not hide anything.

Seeing that the emperor's face had changed, the Eunuch Fu did not dare to make a sound.

Princess Yingzhu was outside the hall, and was shocked by the commotion inside. She was very curious in her heart, just what had happened?

"Crack, crack, crack!"

There was the sound of something being thrown.

Noble Consort Guo walked in from the outside. Princess Yingzhu hurriedly gave her a meaningful glance, telling her not to come in. Noble Consort Guo was stunned for a moment.

She had already entered the courtyard. If she withdrew now, where would she place her face? She clearly knew that she would end up being the emperor's punching bag, but she still wanted to enter. She didn't want to take the emperor's temper and go back dejectedly like this, so she didn't know how many people would see this as a joke.

"Your Majesty, the Noble Consort Guo wishes to seek an audience." A Young Eunuch came to report.

"Tell her to get the hell back!"

Young Eunuch was covered in cold sweat. When he came out, he saw that Noble Consort Guo was still smiling and giving rewards to the Young Eunuch who had passed on the message, as if he did not care about the loss of his Sacred Heart.

Princess Yingzhu stepped forward and held onto Noble Consort Guo's hand, "Don't worry Empress, the Emperor is just in a bad mood. Once his anger is gone, she will naturally treat Empress the same as before."

"Foolish child, I'm afraid that His Majesty is so angry. He probably won't drink this soup that has just been prepared. Forget it, let's go back!"

When the Noble Consort Guo left, her expression immediately changed. It was dark and she did not say a word.

The ladies of her palace were in great peril, and one of the new ladies trembled as she poured the tea, and the water spilled out, wetting her handkerchief.

She glanced over, "A servant that can't even do a little thing, what are you still holding on to, drag him out."

The palace maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, begging for forgiveness, "On account of the fact that I have served you for so many years, Empress, please forgive me!"

Noble Consort Guo looked at the palace maid coldly, "Did I say I want your life? "You have dirtied my favorite handkerchief. Originally, I should have died. Who told me to have a soft heart and not be able to see blood, so I sent you to the Spring Breeze House."

Huai Shan scolded with a high-pitched voice, "Why aren't you thanking me quickly?"

"Don't, Empress, I was wrong, spare me, don't sell me to a brothel." The palace maid kowtowed again and again, breaking her forehead. She knew that once she entered the Spring Breeze House, she would be toyed with to death by men from all walks of life. She didn't even know if she would be left with an intact corpse.

The Noble Consort Guo was annoyed, "Why aren't you dragging it out yet? Don't tell me that you are going to the same place as her?"

When the palace maid was dragged away while crying her heart out, eunuch Huai Shan then told the Noble Consort Guo quietly, "The emperor was angry today because he saw the imperial edict report that Geng Yuedong wanted to resign, but the Prime Minister's opinion is available for exchange."

Noble Consort Guo frowned, "How can father do such a foolish thing at a time like this? Changing generals in battle is a taboo in the military. Even I, as a woman, know why Father would do such a foolish thing. "

However, the Iron family does not have the financial power to support troops, and the Emperor also does not want to supplement it. That's why the Iron family cannot defend the Locked Yang Pass, and if it was the Guo Family, then it would be different, the Marquis of Empress is a talent, if it was anyone else, they would be able to win the battle easily, wouldn't you see? Huai Shan said carefully.

Noble Consort Guo glared, "How many benefits have you received to dare talk so much in front of me?"

Huai Shan's face immediately became anxious and he knelt down, "Your servants are all loyal, how can they be of any benefit, Empress is wise."

"Humph!" You don't need to show off your idea in front of me. "Go and tell Father that this matter is temporarily out of his hands. The Emperor is currently angry, and is unwilling to see me now. He wants Father to be more cautious." After Noble Consort Guo finished speaking, she looked at the wet handkerchief with hesitation.

Huai Shan flattered, "I will have someone to wash this handkerchief and bring it to you."

Noble Consort Guo thought for a moment, "If there's even the slightest bit of uncleanliness, you should also stay somewhere else."

Huai Shan nodded his head, he knew that he had escaped this calamity. This handkerchief was very ordinary, but looking at Imperial Concubine's expression, it was obviously extremely precious.

Geng Yuedong's reprimand for sin was left in the palace by the emperor, the Prime Minister Guo was slapped in the face, he was sick and recuperated at home, the emperor was once again on fire.

"One or two at the most crucial moment, and you still don't put me, the emperor, in your eyes?"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

"Calm down, calm down!" Can you say anything else? Do they think that I'm a fool that can't even discern the thoughts of the Prime Minister? "

Eunuch Fu's face was covered in ink as the emperor threw it at him, not daring to wipe it.
