Lu Zhi was completely panicking. At this moment, looking at the corpse lying on the ground, his heart was already terrified to the extreme. He did not expect Gu Fengming to really dare to kill someone. Moreover, he killed him in his bedroom in front of him.
At this moment, Lu Zhi looked at Gu Fengming with a completely unfamiliar gaze. Was this still the nine-year-old child who looked unrestrained and playful? He was clearly a fierce tiger. Although he had not grown up yet, he had already revealed his man-eating fangs.
"Mother, from today onwards, don't come out. Just stay in Eternal Peace Palace. When the crown prince ascends to the throne, you will move out and live in the Southern Palace. As long as you cause any more trouble, your son will ensure that you live in peace in your old age.”
Lu Zhi! He couldn't kill them!
Although not many people would care if Lu Zhi died at this moment, the various vassal kings would not let this matter go so easily. Once Lu Zhi died, they would use this opportunity to rebel.
Gu Fengming would not give them this excuse, so Lu Zhi could not die yet.
Wei Zhongxian's death meant that the East Chamber had no leader. The hidden danger in the rear palace had been completely eliminated by Gu Fengming.
"Yu Huatian!"
"This servant is here."
"From today onwards, you will be the Chief of Rites. You will be in charge of the West Chamber and the Chief of Rites.”
"Yes, sir!"
Yu Huatian nodded. The ceremonial supervisor was in charge of all the etiquette and punishments in the Imperial City, as well as the management of the servants and officials. He had great authority. All along, the Chief of Rites was under the control of Empress Dowager Lu Zhi, and Wei Zhongxian was the Chief of Rites.
However, now that Wei Zhongxian had been killed, the director of ceremonies, Gu Fengming, could no longer be controlled by Lu Zhi. Yu Huatian was his trusted eunuch, so Gu Fengming was very assured that he would be in charge of the director of ceremonies.
"As for you!"
Gu Fengming looked at Cao Zhengchun.
"From today onwards, you will be the Seal Eunuch of the Rites Supervisor and the Supervisor of the East Chamber. Work hard. As long as you are loyal to His Majesty and the Great Phoenix, you will not be mistreated in the future.”
Gu Fengming had given the East Chamber to Cao Zhengchun. This guy was originally in charge of the East Chamber. In such a chaotic world, a ruthless person like Cao Zhengchun was needed. To deal with evil people, it was useless to rely on a good person like Yu Qian. An evil person like Cao Zhengchun was also needed.
"Thank you for your promotion, Your Highness!"
Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun was overjoyed. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"There's no need to thank me. Before that, you need to reorganize the East Chamber and eliminate all the old followers of Wei Zhongxian and the Empress Dowager. I'll give you three days.”
Gu Fengming asked Cao Zhengchun.
Although Wei Zhongxian was already dead, the East Chamber was still Wei Zhongxian and Lu Zhi's territory. Their people occupied most of it. Gu Fengming naturally would not allow these people to stay in the East Chamber.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I can take control of the East Chamber in two days.”
"Very good!"
Nodding, Gu Fengming glanced at Cao Zhengchun.
"Xiao Hua, send someone to watch the empress dowager. Without my permission, no one is allowed to see the empress dowager, and she is not allowed to take even half a step out of Eternal Peace Palace.”
Gu Fengming looked at him and said.
"This subordinate accepts your orders."
"Oh, right!"
Gu Fengming suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Lu Zhi, who had a face full of despair.
Lu Zhi looked at Gu Fengming and felt a chill in her heart. She had never thought that she would be defeated by a child in an instant. She was the Empress Dowager and had experienced three dynasties, but she could not defeat a child. At this moment, Lu Zhi's heart was like dead ashes.
"What else do you want to do?"
Lu Zhi looked at Gu Fengming with hatred in his eyes.
"Give me the Phoenix Seal!"
Gu Fengming wanted to take back the Phoenix Seal. This Phoenix Seal was like the jade seal. The jade seal represented the imperial power, while the Phoenix Seal represented the power of the empress. This Phoenix Seal should have belonged to the Empress, but Lu Zhi had been holding onto this Phoenix Seal and did not give it to Yu Qinghe.
Now, Lu Zhi's power was already gone. Gu Fengming did not plan to leave the phoenix seal to Lu Zhi anymore.
"That's aijia's thing, why should I give it to you.”
"What do you mean by your things? That is my Imperial Sister-in-law's things. Don't force me to take it myself. It's better for us to give each other some face.”
Gu Fengming snorted.
"You…"
"Hand it over."
Looking at Gu Fengming, Lu Zhi felt the killing intent in Gu Fengming's eyes. She fell silent. Even though she was originally the Empress Dowager, her son was dead, and her confidant was dead. Now, she had nothing left.
"Very good, Empress Dowager. I hope you take care of yourself.”
After receiving the Phoenix Seal from Lu Zhi, Gu Fengming immediately led his men out of Eternal Peace Palace. When he left the palace, it was a bloody scene. A group of people from the West Hall were dealing with the corpses.
"Under the imperial power, the people are as cheap as grass.”
Gu Fengming didn't have any pity. This was fate. If he was careless, the corpse lying here might be his.
"Imperial Sister-in-law!"
"Fengming, did the Empress Dowager make things difficult for you?”
When he returned to the Supreme Phoenix Palace, the mourning hall had already been built. Seeing Gu Fengming return, Yu Qinghe immediately asked.
"It's good enough that I didn't make things difficult for her. Why should she make things difficult for me?”
"She called me over and said she'd give me a white hat to wear.”
Gu Fengming did not hide anything and said to Yu Qinghe.
Hearing this, Yu Qinghe's face turned pale. She obviously did not expect Lu Zhi to look for Gu Fengming for this.
"Imperial uncle, what white hat? Did great-grandmother give you a white hat? Where is it?”
The confused Gu Changge looked up at Gu Fengming and asked curiously.
"Silly child, how can this white hat be worn on my head? It has to be worn on your head.”
Looking at Gu Changge's childish appearance, he had no idea that his throne was almost ruined.
"Feng Ming…"
"Imperial Sister-in-law, you don't have to say anything. I promised Imperial Older Brother that I would ensure the safety of both you and your son. Here, I brought you a gift!"
As Gu Fengming spoke, he took a plate from Yu Huatian and handed it to him.
"This is?"
"Phoenix Seal!"
"You…Fengming, what did you do to Imperial Mother?”
Seeing the Phoenix Seal, Yu Qinghe was shocked and hurriedly asked. She knew that this Phoenix Seal had always been in Lu Zhi's hands. Now that it was in Gu Fengming's hands, she was shocked in her heart. She did not think that Lu Zhi had given it up.
"She's fine. I've killed Wei Zhongxian. Now, the East and West Chambers and the Jinyiwei are all in my hands. Once I eliminate the Imperial Army in the palace, you and your son will be safe in the Imperial City.”
Gu Fengming replied.
He heard that Gu Fengming controlled the East and West Chambers and the Jinyiwei. However, Yu Qinghe was not surprised at all, as if she had already known.
She nodded.
"Promise Imperial Sister-in-law not to kill Lu Zhi. She's just a lonely old lady, but her ambition is too great.”
"Alright, whatever Imperial Sister-in-law says. In the future, the matters of the harem will all be handed over to Imperial Sister-in-law.”
Gu Fengming nodded and handed over the Phoenix Seal.
Yu Qinghe looked at the Phoenix Seal and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she accepted it.
Ding!" The host has protected Gu Changge's rights and rejected Lu Zhi's invitation. The system has rewarded him with a purple Legacy Card, Emperor Han Wen Liu Heng."
