Ch 571 - 572

Chapter 571: Killing a Chicken To Show The Monkey

Seeing Zhou Wen's terrified look, Xiao Zeyu felt much better. Since you caused our Celestial Empress to fall out, I'll make an example out of you.

When the officials saw that Xiao Zeyu was serious, those who didn't take a concubine were very calm. Those who did were so frightened that they kept wiping their sweat. Their eyes were filled with fear as they hated Zhou Wen. They couldn't bear to deal with the beautiful concubines at home, but they couldn't be greedy for beauty if they wanted to be an official.

Some of them knew what memorial Zhou Wen had handed to the Emperor, but who dared to speak up for him? Since the Emperor was doing this, he wanted to punish Zhou Wen and release a message. If he didn't take a concubine, those who advised him to take a concubine wouldn't have a good ending.

In the future, who would dare to bring up the matter of the Emperor taking a concubine? Aren't you afraid of losing your job?

Su Hanxuan was extremely smart. From Zhou Wen's reaction and Xiao Zeyu's determination to deal with him, he could tell that the memorial Zhou Wen had submitted was definitely for the Emperor to accept a concubine. It was likely that his daughter was angry, so the Emperor dealt with Zhou Wen to appease her.

This also proved that his daughter was critical to the Emperor, so vital that he didn't want to take concubines. Su Hanxuan was very gratified. His daughter had good taste. Forget Xiao Zeyu being the Emperor, how many rich men wouldn't take concubines?

Zhou Wen was brought out of the hall by the guards in fear. Xiao Zeyu swept his gaze across the civil and military officials and warned,

“Dear ministers, do your job well. Don't worry about unnecessary things.”

The ministers understood immediately when they heard that. He had just finished dealing with Zhou Wen when he warned them. He meant no one was allowed to interfere in the royal family's matters.

After the court session, none of the officials dared to discuss it. They hurriedly returned home to deal with the beautiful concubine. It was naturally a life-and-death parting. Some wanted to keep the beautiful concubine at home in the name of a maidservant, but when they heard that Zhou Wen had been beaten fifty times and his legs broken, they were so frightened that they didn't dare.

After dealing with Zhou Wen, Xiao Zeyu called out to his father-in-law,

“Father-in-law, I haven't drunk with you for a long time. Why don't you stay and have a drink?”

He lowered his status very much. As the Emperor, even in front of his father-in-law, he should not address Su Hanxuan as his father-in-law. He should always address himself as "I” and should not address him as “father-in-law.” This gave Su Hanxuan enough face.

“This subject is more respectful than obedient.”

Su Hanxuan knew clearly that his son-in-law wanted him to stay and persuade Qing'er. Since he was so attentive to Qing'er, he would help the Emperor this once!

After leaving the palace and returning to the inner palace, Xiao Zeyu first invited his father-in-law to Yangxin Palace Hall and sent someone to invite the Empress over. He emphasized to the eunuch,
