Chapter 1430 Women's War!
Yijing, AM

All the concubines of Daqian gathered in the Huatian Palace. At this time, since everyone in the hall already knew the content of today's meeting, Jinyu was very happy, while Bai Yuanyuan had a stern face, and her eyes full of anger and murderous intent looked somewhere from time to time.

Under her gaze, Shen Yutong looked indifferent, but if one looked closely one could still sense a hint of pride in the expression of this Concubine Shen.

Although Chen Rouer, who was sitting in the back row, looked very well-behaved on the surface, when she glanced at the "sisters" in front of her, she revealed a hint of disdain.

According to the regulations, the meeting time today is 1:15 pm in the morning. There is still a cup of tea left until 1:15 pm, but there are still three empty chairs in the entire Huatian Hall. These three chairs are the main seat in the center, and the first one on the left and right below the main seat.

Seeing this situation, the concubines in the hall, who already had their own thoughts, had even more different expressions. In the past, when holding meetings in Huatian Hall, the person in the center was naturally the queen An Miaoyi, and on her left and right were Murong Qingwu and Pei Zhixiu.

In fact, this seating arrangement is not random, there are also some considerations. First of all, it depends on your family background, and secondly, it depends on how long you have followed Ye Mingsheng and whether you have given birth to children for Ye Mingsheng.

So according to these rules, although An Miaoyi was reluctant, she still arranged Murong Qingwu as the first on the left hand and Pei Zhixiu as the first on the right hand.

Pei Zhixiu actually didn't want to sit in such a conspicuous position as the first one on the right. She wanted to give her seat to Bai Yuanyuan and sit behind Bai Yuanyuan. Bai Yuanyuan was of course very happy about this...
However, An Miaoyi insisted that Pei Zhixiu sit first on the right. The reason she gave was that Pei Zhixiu was the first woman to follow Ye Mingsheng and gave birth to a pair of children for Ye Mingsheng. At the same time, everyone in the harem knew how much Ye Mingsheng doted on Pei Zhixiu, so An Miaoyi asked Pei Zhixiu not to refuse.

Although Pei Zhixiu and Bai Yuanyuan were willing to give up and accept respectively, An Miaoyi, the queen, disagreed and the two of them had no choice. Because Pei Zhixiu had not governed her subordinates strictly in the past period of time, she was ordered by Ye Mingsheng to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors.

Therefore, it was expected that Bae Ji-soo would not attend the meeting. On the contrary, it was a surprise for everyone that she came!

As the queen, An Miaoyi always arrives after the appointed time and makes everyone wait for her to demonstrate her status as queen!

What really surprised everyone was that Murong Qingwu, who was supposed to appear in the first position on the left, had not arrived yet!

You have to know that although the queen who convened this meeting did not inform everyone what the theme of the meeting was, everyone still knew what this meeting was for!
Murong Qingwu and Jinyu are the protagonists of this meeting!
So originally, in everyone's opinion, Concubine Murong, who was always punctual, should have arrived earlier to accept the congratulations of the concubines!
No one expected that Concubine Murong had not arrived at Huatiantang yet...
As time passed by, it was about to arrive at the designated time of 1:00 p.m., and everyone's expressions became expectant. Some people who were curious about other people's misfortune even began to gloat in advance. However, at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the hall.

After a while, under everyone's gaze, Murong Qingwu walked in with a cheerful face. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Murong Qingwu smiled and said:
"Excuse me, sisters. My Jingyan was very noisy today and delayed us for some time!"

Bai Yuanyuan, who was standing by, immediately said in a sarcastic tone:
"Sister Qingwu, in my opinion, this little boy should not be spoiled. If he doesn't behave himself, he must be punished. If he interferes with the adults' business, it will be troublesome!"

Murong Qingwu also understood that Bai Yuanyuan was dissatisfied with Pei Zhixiu for recommending her, but she ended up getting the position, and she wanted to show her loyalty to An Miaoyi, so she forced herself to take the lead. Murong Qingwu, who understood this, did not indulge her sister Bai, and immediately laughed and retorted:
"Sister Bai, you are right! I also think that loving mothers often spoil their children. It would be too embarrassing if the children dragged their mothers down and confined themselves to reflect on their mistakes!"

Bai Yuanyuan's face immediately changed when she heard this, but before she could say anything else, Murong Qingwu continued:

"Although I want to discipline Jingyan strictly, His Majesty is very fond of Jingyan. I spent the whole night telling stories with Jingyan last night. Sister Bai, I am also very distressed. How about you teach me what to do?"

After saying that, Murong Qingwu was afraid that Bai Yuanyuan would not be angry, so she deliberately pretended to be distressed and looked at Bai Yuanyuan sincerely asking for advice...
Seeing that Murong Qingwu got the advantage and still acted like a good kid, Bai Yuanyuan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Just when she wanted to say something, a voice came from outside.

"The Queen is here!"

Although Bai Yuanyuan was angry after hearing this, she could only let it go and bow to everyone and said:
"We are here to see Her Majesty the Queen!"

With everyone paying their respects, An Miaoyi slowly walked into Huatian Hall and sat in the main seat. She looked around at everyone in the hall before speaking calmly:

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Queen!"

After everyone sat down, An Miaoyi didn't say anything nonsense. She went straight to the point and said:

"You all should have known that Jinyu has been promoted to Imperial Concubine. From now on, she and Qingwu will help me manage the harem!"

After saying this, An Miaoyi looked at Jinyu and said:
"Jinyu, do you have anything to say?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Jinyu. Seeing this, Jinyu was a little nervous. In the past, Jinyu had always been a little transparent in the harem, not attracting anyone's attention at all. So at this time, facing everyone's gaze, she was a little nervous, but she still spoke:
"Thanks to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother for recommending me, and His Majesty for granting me the title of Imperial Concubine. I am deeply honored. In the future, please take care of me, sisters. I will do my best to help you all!"

As soon as Jinyu finished speaking, An Miaoyi praised:
"Jinyu, you have always been obedient in the palace and are a role model for the concubines in the harem. You deserve to be promoted to noble concubine..." After saying some polite words, An Miaoyi said lightly:
"Does Concubine Murong have anything to say?"

Seeing An Miaoyi asking about herself, Murong Qingwu slowly stood up and said with a smile:
"This time, I am honored by your majesty for letting me assist the queen in managing the harem. Qingwu is very nervous and does not know if I can complete the task assigned by your majesty. However, since your majesty does not abandon me, Qingwu will do her best!"

Hearing the word "panic" from Murong Qingwu's mouth, An Miaoyi couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Looking at the look on this bitch's face, it was obvious that she was complacent, how could she be fearful at all?

If you, Murong Qingwu, had even a trace of awe in your heart, you wouldn't be so arrogant!
Just as An Miaoyi was thinking about this, Murong Qingwu continued:

"Over the years, the Queen has been managing the palace very well. The six palaces are in harmony, and all the concubines and sisters are living happily together!"

After saying this, Murong Qingwu paused for a moment, then applied again and said in a cold voice:
"But there are some servants who are traitors. Not only do they take advantage of the palace, but they also try every possible way to get benefits from the palace!"

Murong Qingwu's words were earth-shattering, shocking everyone present. Before anyone could react, Murong Qingwu took a stack of land deeds and house deeds from the hand of the maid Ying'er beside her and said:
"The first person to bear the brunt of this is Madam Cao from the Inner Court. The owner of this pile of deeds is called Cao Fuqiang, Madam Cao's nephew. He was a farmer in Liaoyang five years ago, but now the deeds under his name are worth as much as five thousand taels of silver!"

"Your Majesty! Please look!"

After saying that, Murong Qingwu handed a stack of land deeds to An Miaoyi. Following Murong Qingwu's actions, everyone in the hall focused their attention on the land deeds...
At this moment, An Miaoyi has fully realized that her "good sister" came prepared and deliberately wanted to attack her today!
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi did not take the stack of land deeds immediately, but glanced at Murong Qingwu coldly. Facing An Miaoyi's gaze, Murong Qingwu was calm. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time and had endured for a long time!
Now she finally has the chance to embarrass An Miaoyi, she will definitely hurt An Miaoyi's face in front of everyone!

Although she didn't want to see these evidences, but under the gaze of everyone, An Miaoyi, as the queen of the country, had to accept these evidences no matter how reluctant she was.

Looking at Cao Fuqiang's name on the land deed, although An Miaoyi didn't know much about Cao Ma's family situation, she didn't know whether this Cao Fuqiang was Cao Ma's nephew!
But An Miaoyi knew clearly that since Murong Qingwu dared to take it out, it was most likely irrefutable evidence!

Similarly, An Miaoyi was not sure about the specific value of these land deeds and house deeds, but there were more than a dozen of them in this stack, so they were obviously quite valuable!
Besides, An Miaoyi herself knew clearly that she had been eating meat all these years, while Madam Cao had been eating soup with her, and had used her status to gain benefits. However, An Miaoyi turned a blind eye to it as Madam Cao was capable.

Therefore, An Miaoyi knew that questioning Cao Fuqiang's identity and the authenticity of the evidence at this time would probably be asking for trouble, so she immediately changed the subject and asked:
"Empress Murong, where did you get this evidence?"

Seeing An Miaoyi asking this, Murong Qingwu, who had been prepared, also replied with a smile:
"Your Majesty, three days ago, Cao Fuqiang was arrested by the Yijing government for illegally opening a gambling house and raping a woman. During the interrogation, Cao Fuqiang confessed that Madam Cao, the head of the Inner Court, was his aunt. The Yijing government also found these house deeds and land deeds from him."

"Because it involves the palace, the Yijing government office submitted this matter to the Attendant Department, and the Attendant Department just now wanted to submit these things to you, the Queen.

"But I happened to come across it when I came here, and I remembered that His Majesty asked me to assist the Queen in managing the harem, so I took these things and wanted to present them to you now!"

Hearing Murong Qingwu's words, An Miaoyi couldn't help but sneer:
"What a coincidence this happened to Concubine Murong!"

Murong Qingwu nodded innocently and said:
"Your Majesty, this is such a coincidence! If I hadn't experienced it myself, I would have found it hard to believe that such a coincidence could exist in the world!"

Hearing Murong Qingwu still saying that this matter was a coincidence, An Miaoyi really wanted to have her good sister dragged out and given a beating!

She would never believe Murong Qingwu's nonsense. It was obvious that Murong Qingwu had known about Madam Cao's weakness for a long time, but she had been holding back!
And now that Ye Mingsheng has given her the authority to assist in managing the harem, Murong Qingwu has begun to take action, wanting to use this matter to make trouble for herself. The Attendant Department must be secretly pushing the mainstream. Thinking of this, An Miaoyi couldn't help but look at Murong Qingwu again··············

Although she had long anticipated that Murong Qingwu would cause trouble after gaining the power to assist in managing the harem, An Miaoyi originally expected that Murong Qingwu would make a fuss about the account books. However, she did not expect that Murong Qingwu would actually make a fuss about Madam Cao. This time, she was really caught off guard by Murong Qingwu!
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This Madam Cao was considered a good subordinate of hers and had done a lot of things for her. It was very difficult to find such an obedient, sensible and hardworking lackey. If possible, An Miaoyi really wanted to keep her!
But unfortunately Murong Qingwu came prepared. An Miaoyi estimated that she had a lot of negative information about Madam Cao. If she forced herself to protect her at this time, it might make herself even more embarrassed. If the matter got out of hand, it would be even more difficult to end!

Thinking of this, An Miaoyi felt helpless, but she had to shed tears and kill Ma Su. She immediately said:
"Capture Madam Cao!"

"Yes!"

Hearing An Miao say this, Murong Qingwu also smiled and bowed to praise:
"The Queen is wise!"

Seeing Murong Qingwu's hypocritical appearance, An Miaoyi felt disgusted, but as the queen, she still had to maintain her composure in front of everyone and said:

"Imperial Concubine Murong, do you have anything else to say?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Qingwu also said to the many concubines in the hall:

“Sisters, there are definitely more than one traitorous person like Madam Cao. Since His Majesty has asked me to assist the Empress in managing the harem, I must help the Empress severely punish these traitors and make sure they receive the punishment they deserve…”
