At this moment, Emperor Wu was standing on the jade platform, taking in the expressions of everyone in the council hall.

Especially those civil servants and military generals, the expressions in their eyes made him feel uncomfortable.

He knew that if he didn't scold Xuan Ling'er today, he, as the emperor, would lose face!

After all, as an emperor, the most important thing is to have control over the court!
But if these civil and military officials thought that Emperor Wu was easy to bully, he would be scolded by his own daughter in the council hall.

Then his control over the court will be greatly reduced.

At this moment, Emperor Wu's expression turned cold, and the look on his face was intimidating without him even showing anger.

He angrily shouted with cold eyes: "Xuan Ling'er! Pay attention to your identity!"

"You are just my daughter, at most the nineteenth princess of the Xuanwu Empire. You are not qualified to insult the queen of the Xuanwu Empire!"

"And I am the emperor of the Xuanwu Empire, and I have the right to deal with my own queen! If you insist on making trouble here, I can demote you to a commoner at any time!"

When Xuan Linger heard these words, her face couldn't help but turn slightly pale.

Although she didn't care whether she was the princess of the Xuanwu Empire, when Emperor Wu said such words on the stage, it meant that Emperor Wu didn't care about her at all.

At this moment, she finally understood that her father was truly a heartless and ungrateful person...

"Now if you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

Emperor Wu also noticed Xuan Ling'er's expression at this moment, and his mood became much better.

He was already extremely upset after being pointed at and scolded by Xuan Ling'er just now.

Now that he has scolded back, he has finally regained his face.

Emperor Wu once again looked at the civil and military officials.

All the civil and military officials were silent, lowered their heads, and dared not look him in the eye.

After all, these people knew very well that the current Emperor Wu was in a state of rage, and this anger could affect other people at any time.

They don't want to get into trouble.

So at this time everyone pretended to be ostriches, buried their heads, and dared not say anything.

What's more, this matter was originally Emperor Wu's family affair, and they had no right to interfere.

However, there were a few generals who looked at Xuan Ling'er with sympathy.

In fact, compared with these civil officials, these military generals are obviously more sentimental.

A small number of them had earned their military merits by killing enemies on the battlefield, and their wives had been with them from the beginning.

As the saying goes, a wife who has shared the hardships of life should not be abandoned.

Emperor Wu had previously banished Empress Cao Xirou to the cold palace, and this incident did make them feel a little dissatisfied.

But as military generals, they could not interfere in the emperor's family affairs, so naturally they could not speak up to advise.

These generals are not good at speaking, and even if they really have the opportunity to speak, they probably won't be able to say anything good.

Feng Zhuyue, who was sitting next to Emperor Wu, finally had a slightly relaxed look on his face.

After Xuan Ling'er was scolded like that, the person who really felt relieved was actually Feng Zhuyue.

After all, she is the one closely related to this matter.

There was even a hint of pride in Feng Zhuyue's eyes.

Her strategy just now really worked. When she pretended to be a pure white lotus, the emperor would also be on her side.

After such an incident, Cao Xirou and Xuan Ling'er's status and reputation in the Xuanwu Empire will be greatly reduced.

After all, even Emperor Wu personally stood up for Feng Zhuyue, so who else would dare to say anything against her?
Especially those bitches in the harem!
Feng Zhuyue secretly thought in her heart that once the news of today's incident spread, her position as the head of the harem would be more stable. After all, in the palace, identity and status were given by Emperor Wu.

If Emperor Wu doesn't give it to you, those bitches can't snatch it away.

correct……

And that woman Cao Xirou!
Feng Zhuyue narrowed his eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After the morning court, she would go to the cold palace and mock Cao Xirou, the loser!
"What are you still doing standing here? Get back now!"

The more Emperor Wu looked at Xuan Ling'er, the angrier he became.

In addition, he had already had a hint of murderous intent just now, and now he had no good feelings towards Xuan Ling'er.

After all, in Emperor Wu's opinion, Xuan Ling'er's actions were really overstepping his authority.

The position of empress should have been decided by him, the emperor.

However, as Xuan Ling'er is the daughter of the emperor, according to etiquette and law, she should not have any opinions about him and Feng Zhuyue.

What's more, if he gave Xuan Ling'er such a precedent today, there would never be peace in his harem in the future.

In addition, the Xuanwu Empire is now facing external threats, and the Great Zhou Dynasty may choose a day to attack.

If the harem is also in chaos, then Emperor Wu will really have little time to stabilize the court.

At this moment, Xuan Ling'er, hearing the cold words of Emperor Wu, was so scared that she took a step back.

She had never felt that her father was so strange.

In Xuan Linger's eyes, Emperor Wu's behavior just now was to protect Feng Zhuyue.

And this also means that Emperor Wu gave up his former queen, Xuan Ling'er's mother, Cao Xirou, on another level.

Originally, Xuan Ling'er wanted to continue scolding Emperor Wu.

But when she actually faced Emperor Wu, she realized how insignificant and powerless she was.

Even if she really scolded Emperor Wu, what would happen?

Would Emperor Wu send Feng Zhuyue to the cold palace and bring Cao Xirou out just because he was scolded?
No… that wouldn’t do any good at all.

On the contrary, Emperor Wu would target her because he had lost face.

But Xuan Ling'er is now a member of the Jun family, so Emperor Wu cannot target her and can only vent his anger on her mother, Queen Cao Xirou.

When Xuan Ling'er thought about what happened to her mother and how she, as a daughter, was powerless to do anything, she couldn't help but shed sad tears.

Even she felt that life was a little bleak.

After returning to the Xuanwu Empire, she felt that everything was so strange. Her elder brother and her queen mother were gone.

All that remains are those people who were once friendly but are now extremely unfamiliar to me.

Just when Xuan Ling'er was feeling discouraged, at this moment, a pair of big hands suddenly hugged him tightly in their arms.

Xuan Ling'er only felt a wave of warmth coming over her, and her tears couldn't help but stop.

She couldn't help but look up and found that it was Jun Lintian who was looking at her with a faint smile.

That warm smile instantly warmed Xuan Ling'er's heart.

Jun Lintian smiled and comforted Xuan Ling'er in a low voice.

"Ling'er, don't be sad. Your husband can help you. If there is any injustice or grievance, your husband will help you get it back."

Xuan Ling'er nodded hopefully: "Yes!" (End of this chapter)
