When Qin Feng walked out of the Imperial Study room, her eyes were empty, and her mind was filled with Xuanyuan Zhiling's cold eyes. He had merely ordered her to do so in a simple manner, but she did not care about it at all.

As soon as Qin Feng walked out of the royal study room, she was stopped by the officials outside the door. They had been waiting for a while.

"empress, what did the emperor say? Are we okay now? "

The old officials were all trembling in fear as they spoke.

After Qin Feng heard this, she shook her head helplessly.

"I have no other choice. The emperor insists on letting you all go, so you can only pray for your own good fortune."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, she immediately ordered the guards to stop the useless officials.

"empress, you can't just stand by and watch us die …"

"empress, try it again. The Emperor will listen to you the most."

The group of officials had been begging Qin Feng behind her back the entire time, but although Qin Feng's heart softened, she was completely powerless, and could only brace herself and return to her own Blue Bird Hall.

"empress, are you really prepared to give up like this?"

Qin Chen slightly frowned, her expression revealing a look of complexity.

Qin Feng sighed and shook her head.

"This time, I have no other choice. The emperor has already decided to dismiss them."

As Qin Feng spoke, she once again thought back to Xuanyuan Zhiling's previous cold expression, and her heart faintly trembled.

Her slight heartache still made Qin Feng frown.

"Looks like these old officials are going to return to their hometowns."

Qin Chen said helplessly. Qin Chen also did not understand why Xuanyuan Zhiling would do such a thing.

"That's right, but we are powerless as well. We can only allow the Emperor to do as he pleases."

Qin Feng laughed, a bitter smile on her face.

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"The empress is right, this matter is decided. Everything must be decided by me."

Xuanyuan Zhiling was already standing at the doorway, with his eyes fixed on Qin Feng, but there were traces of complex emotions on his face.

When Qin Feng saw Xuanyuan Zhiling standing at the entrance of his own palace, she was angry and pleasantly surprised. But even so, she didn't say anything.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, the empress. I'll handle it."

As he said till here, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of gloominess within.

"Someone come!" "Now drive those scoundrels out of the palace!"

Speaking to here, there was a burst of shouting outside the door. Qin Feng knew that the old subjects had already been thrown out.

"Isn't this way too much? Many of these old officials have served several generations of emperors. If there's no merit, then there's also hard work. Is he going to be kicked out just like that? "

Qin Feng said while frowning slightly, but she did not look at Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Xuanyuan Zhiling was not angry. Instead, he looked at Qin Feng and laughed.

"So what? and they're making unforgivable mistakes! "

Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a slightly ice-cold expression.

"In that case, I am in trouble. Your Majesty, please atone for your sins."

Qin Feng said somewhat helplessly, as a trace of helplessness appeared on her face.

Xuanyuan Zhiling heard that something was wrong, and his expression slightly eased up.

"I've been busy with government affairs recently, so I don't have time to accompany the empress. Don't tell me the empress is angry with me?"

After saying all that, Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes burned with passion as he stared at Qin Feng's face.

Qin Feng's expression did not change at all, and she said with a faint smile, "How could chenqie dare to be angry at Your Majesty? His Majesty's government affairs are too busy, chenqie can understand."

Qin Feng's heart was filled with grievance, but she did not show it on her face.

Qin Feng could clearly feel the pain in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. Perhaps it was because she was used to it, but Qin Feng was always happy.

"That's good then. I'll be relieved if that's the case."

As Xuanyuan Zhiling spoke, his eyes were still tightly staring at Qin Feng's face.

"Then does the empress have anything else to say to Zhen?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression was a little complicated, his eyes still tightly staring at Qin Feng's face.

Qin Feng noticed Xuanyuan Zhiling's burning gaze, but pretended she didn't see anything.

"Chenqie has nothing to say. The emperor is busy with government affairs. Chenqie doesn't dare to delay the emperor's precious time."

Qin Feng's tone carried a bit of complex emotions, and her tone of voice was ice-cold without the slightest hint of emotion.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling saw Qin Feng's ice-cold face, a complicated expression quickly flashed across her face.

"Qin Feng, do you know that the colder you are, the more I want to conquer you?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling suddenly walked behind Qin Feng and his voice revealed an ambiguous feeling that caused one to tremble in fear.

Qin Feng was slightly startled by these words, but she still maintained her calm.

"Your Majesty, what you want to conquer, isn't it something that you can casually grab?"

Qin Feng's tone carried traces of a complicated meaning, or to be more accurate, it carried traces of a mocking tone.

"What the empress said is right, but there is only one thing that is not what Zhen wants."

All of a sudden, a burst of faint sadness flashed across Xuanyuan Zhiling's face as he stared at Qin Feng with burning eyes.

Qin Feng helplessly let out a light laugh, and the corner of her mouth raised into a bitter smile.

"What is it?"

"That is feelings, especially the heart of empress."

Xuanyuan Zhiling hugged Qin Feng from behind, and tightly hugged onto Qin Feng's waist.

Such a sudden hug made Qin Feng's heart tighten fiercely, her heartbeat quickened, it was so fast that it seemed like she was about to jump out of Qin Feng's chest.

Qin Feng tried her best to maintain her calm, even though her breathing was already so short that it was hard to keep calm.

"The Emperor is busy with government affairs. Is there still time to think about chenqie?"

Qin Feng felt that she was like a grieving wife at this time, but was she supposed to continue to endure the grievances that filled her stomach?

Xuanyuan Zhiling heard the unnecessary emotions in Qin Feng's words and chuckled as he stared at Qin Feng.

"We have always been thinking of the empress, and we are now as well."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said, and without asking for Qin Feng's permission, he kissed Qin Feng on the cheek.

Such a gentle kiss caused Qin Feng to become infatuated with himself, but the Qin Feng who was good at hiding her feelings did not reveal it.

"The emperor only needs to take care of his own affairs. Chenqie is fine, there's no need for the emperor to worry about Chenqie."

Qin Feng said while struggling to free herself from Xuanyuan Zhiling's embrace.

Xuanyuan Zhiling only felt that his embrace suddenly emptied, and then, he tightly frowned, his eyes tightly staring at Qin Feng's back and her exquisite profile.

"Your majesty, chenqie just thinks that your majesty cannot do this. Without those old subjects, how can your throne be stable?"

Qin Feng stared at Xuanyuan Zhiling's face with concern.

This time, Qin Feng was really considering for Xuanyuan Zhiling's sake, because Qin Feng was very clear in her heart that the current Xuanyuan Zhiling was not only her, but the man of the entire world.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, he let out a faint sneer with mixed emotions.

"I know, empress need not worry."

As Xuanyuan Zhiling spoke, he continued to hug Qin Feng in her arms.

After Qin Feng heard this, she could only look at Xuanyuan Zhiling helplessly, but she did not know what to say.

Xuanyuan Zhiling kissed Qin Feng on the cheek, and then walked out of the Blue Bird Hall without even turning his head back. Looking at Xuanyuan Zhiling's back, Qin Feng suddenly felt her nose sour.

"empress, the Emperor left just like that?"

Qin Chen looked at Xuanyuan Zhiling's back in shock, as if she was surprised at Xuanyuan Zhiling's cold attitude today.

"Yes, we are like two parallel lines now."

As Qin Feng muttered to herself, Qin Chen had a face full of confusion.

"What does empress mean?"

Qin Chen looked at Qin Feng's somewhat sad face and asked indifferently.

"Two parallel lines will never intersect."

Qin Feng said indifferently, her expression becoming more sorrowful.

As Qin Feng turned to leave, she couldn't help but let out a light sigh as she looked at Qin Feng's lonely back.

Since the last time Xuanyuan Zhiling walked out of the Blue Bird Hall, it had already been a few days, and Qin Feng even had no idea what she was busy with.

On this day, Qin Feng brought Qin Chen to the imperial flower garden to admire the flowers. Originally, the two of them had planned to go out to shop together after admiring the flowers.

As they were admiring the flowers, they suddenly heard some palace maids discussing.

"You little girls, the empress is looking for you, come with me at once!"

Qin Chen brought the few servants and headed towards Qin Feng's direction. When she arrived in front of Qin Feng, the two maids were already trembling with fear.

"This servant greets empress."

The two maidservants knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Feng, their faces were slightly pale.

Seeing such a situation, Qin Feng's expression became slightly cold.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Qin Feng berated the two little palace maid s sternly, and the two little palace maid s were immediately scared out of their wits.

"Reporting to the empress, the servants did not discuss anything just now."

One of the little palace maid said in a trembling voice as she lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Feng's face.

"Insolent servant, just now empress clearly heard what all of you were discussing, and you still dared to argue?!"

Qin Chen was very impatient, upon hearing that the two little palace maid s dared to lie, she immediately roared.

Hearing Qin Chen's words, the two little palace maid s were so scared that their knees were trembling, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads to look.

"Are you ready to tell me now?"

Qin Feng asked coldly with a complicated expression.

The two little palace maid s looked at each other, and in the end, one of the two little palace maid s said with a trembling voice: "empress, the servants were just discussing how a large group of officials entered the palace on a pilgrimage this morning, are we talking about …"

At this point, the two little palace maid s did not dare to continue.

"Why don't you say it?!" Continue to speak! "

As he said till here, Qin Feng's gaze became even sharper, and his expression revealed traces of ice.

"The servants are currently discussing whether or not it is time to change dynasties, because all of the old officials have been removed from office."

The two little palace maid s knew that they were committing treason, so after they finished speaking, they were also trembling in fear, afraid that the empress would drag them out to behead them.

Qin Feng was startled at first, but soon after, she smirked.

As the Queen, she did not even know about Xuanyuan Zhiling's appointment as the new official, so it was obvious how secret Xuanyuan Zhiling's arrangements were. These palace maids knew that it was because they had seen it when they were passing by.

"You can leave now. Don't tell anyone about the things I asked you about. Otherwise, you're dead for sure."

After saying this, Qin Feng and Qin Chen immediately cancelled their original plan to leave the palace, and instead returned to the Blue Luan Palace to wait for Qin Chen to bring out the latest news.

"empress, what those two little palace maid s said is true. A large number of officials have really entered the palace."

As he said till here, Qin Chen's face also carried traces of complex emotions, and even a trace of a strange expression.

"In that case, this old official has changed to a new official?"

Saying that, Qin Feng frowned, did this Xuanyuan Zhiling have gone mad? If all the officials in the court were to be replaced with new ones, wouldn't the rules of the court become a mess?

Thinking of this, Qin Feng helplessly sighed lightly.

"That's right, empress. Now that the imperial court has changed its blood, the only officials in the imperial court who were still neutral during the struggle between the princes were those officials."

Qin Chen said with a complicated expression and reported to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng sighed helplessly upon hearing this, but she was helpless in this kind of situation. After all, this matter was not something that Qin Feng could take care of.
