The Empress’s Blind Consort: Invincible in Secret

Chapter 33 – Is Minister Meng the Empress’ Husband’s vest?

Golden Throne Hall.

Dongfang Liuli remained silent, her fingers lightly tapping the dragon-headed armrest, her expression unchanged, though a trace of worry flickered between her brows.

What trouble is the old general stirring up now?

Summoning Minister Meng to the hall would only cause trouble. Even if he is a so-called Sage, a once-in-a-millennium talent, he is still just a mortal and would struggle against the seven young supremes.

"Meng Qin's cultivation is insignificant; he cannot take on such a great responsibility. I do not approve," Dongfang Liuli said.

Qin Fenghuo was determined to cleanse the harem and uphold the monogamous system, clinging tightly to the Empress' husband. He immediately knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, Minister Meng was appointed as Vice Minister of Rites without any warning. Even if he has some abilities, capturing the evil cultivator King of Longshang, he still cannot convince the masses!"

"I am not convinced either!"

"Please summon Minister Meng to the hall to participate in the birthday banquet and compete with the envoys from various countries."

Qin Fenghuo emphasized the words "compete."

That pretty boy dares to compete for favor with the Empress' husband? If I don't deal with you, I'll write my name backwards!

Qin Fenghuo's expression uncontrollably showed a hint of a smile.

Once I deal with Minister Meng, the Empress will surely be pleased. I won't even need to take credit; if the Empress is happy, she might reveal the Sage's prophecy again.

In Qin Fenghuo's heart, leading the Great Jin Dynasty to rise was more important than anything else!

Undoubtedly, Meng Qingzhou, this Sage, would be a crucial part of the Great Jin's path to unifying the world.

The court fell into a brief silence.

The civil and military officials exchanged glances, full of confusion.

Why was General Qin, the left and right hand of the Empress, today, in front of the envoys from various countries, so determined to go against the Empress' wishes?

"General..." A trusted military officer couldn't help but transmit his voice, wanting to advise him to consider the Empress' dignity.

The envoys from various countries are watching, don't make a fool of yourself.

"Don't talk nonsense. For the sake of the Empress and the Emperor's relationship, for the Sage's prophecy, even if it costs me my life, I must drive away that pretty boy!" Qin Fenghuo glared and transmitted his voice.

Upon hearing this.

The trusted military officer was first shocked, then without hesitation, knelt down and loudly said:

"Your Majesty! I am not convinced either! Please summon Minister Meng to the hall!"

The Empress' face was as cold as water, her cold eyes watching below, saying nothing...

Qin Fenghuo sighed lightly, lowered his head, not daring to meet her gaze.

Sigh...

Your Majesty, don't blame this old minister, blame yourself for being too fickle. Having the Emperor is not enough, you even secretly keep a pretty boy.

The military officers, divided into three rows, seeing their top superior, the Big Column Kingdom, in a determined stance, also gained confidence.

As hot-blooded military officers, none of them looked up to the pretty boy.

They had long been displeased with him!

Following the Big Column Kingdom, if something goes wrong, the higher-ups will take the blame.

"Your Majesty, I am not convinced either!"

"Your Majesty, I am not convinced either!"

"Your Majesty..."

...

...

In an instant, all the military officers knelt down, their expressions solemn, ready to die.

The civil officials hesitated, looking uniformly at Jiang Canghai, unsure whether to follow suit.

Jiang Canghai silently shook his head, then closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, the civil officials who were about to kneel straightened up, looking at the dome, indifferent to the matter.

"Old Qin, in the future, if anything happens, remember to discuss it with me." Jiang Canghai's voice transmission reached Qin Fenghuo's ears.

Kneeling on the ground, Qin Fenghuo looked up at Jiang Canghai in confusion, silently forming a question mark.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Canghai glanced at the Empress, who was on the verge of rage, shook his head lightly, and stopped transmitting his voice.

At this point, the emotions of the officials had been stirred, and in front of the envoys from various countries, today, Meng Qin must appear.

"Ridiculous." Qin Fenghuo rolled his eyes and transmitted his voice:

"The harem is on fire, the Empress and the Emperor's relationship is breaking, and you, as the strategist of Great Jin, have done nothing. In the end, it still falls on me to save the day."

"Trash."

"Just watch, I'm about to put on a show!"

Jiang Canghai turned his head, his smile not reaching his eyes, and gave Qin Fenghuo a look of pity.

The envoys from various countries, like rats in a melon field, secretly transmitted messages to the hidden spies within Great Jin, investigating Minister Meng's deeds.

What they found shocked them.

Goodness! In one day, he went from a commoner to a high-ranking official of the third rank.

On his first day in office, he denounced the nobility and purged the court.

There were even rumors that he was inseparable from the Empress, suspected to be her only favorite, deeply loved!

The Vice Minister of War of the Great Qian Dynasty, Wang Teng, received the news, and his eyes turned green.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, is said to be able to foresee the future. Why not invite him out to take a look? Is he unpresentable?" Wang Teng said with a dry laugh.

Huang Hao coldly said:

"Great Jin has truly fallen. The Empress favors a blind man, and both the Emperor and her favorite are mortals. Ridiculous!"

As the third leader of the Five Spirit Clan, Huang Hao had the confidence to challenge the Empress, as he was not of the human race.

The Empress' peerless beauty was indeed tempting, but Huang Hao valued her monstrous talent even more.

Huang Hao, less than a hundred years old, was considered young among the Five Spirit Clan and naturally sought a Dao companion with equally extraordinary talent to produce stronger offspring.

So Huang Hao did not care about the Empress' dignity and directly mocked her.

"Presumptuous!" Qin Fenghuo roared, his rolling sound waves turning into ripples in the void, forcefully suppressing Huang Hao.

The officials of Great Jin were furious, releasing their pressure, wanting to teach the young supremes a lesson.

Huang Hao's face changed slightly, unable to resist in time, he was pushed back dozens of steps, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Is this how Great Jin treats its guests?" Huang Hao's five fingers clenched in the air, forming a celestial spiritual treasure long knife.

Wang Teng's smile grew colder, and he said indifferently:

"Everyone should think clearly. This is the capital of Great Jin. If a battle breaks out, the entire capital could be reduced to ashes in an instant."

"Moreover, the forces behind us are not weaker than Great Jin, perhaps even stronger."

Qin Fenghuo, furious, immediately took out his weapon from his storage ring, ready to personally kill these so-called young supremes.

"Arrogant!" Qin Fenghuo, filled with killing intent, said, "Great Jin fears no enemy. You provoked first, so I have a reason to act. Even an incarnation can kill you!"

The atmosphere instantly became murderous, the court divided into three factions.

The envoys from weaker neighboring countries huddled in the corners, trembling, while the seven young supremes stood united, and the officials of Great Jin were filled with killing intent.

Dongfang Liuli's face was icy, ready to personally act and swiftly eliminate Wang Teng, Huang Hao, and others with thunderous force.

At this moment.

Outside the Golden Throne Hall, the Mountain Moving Realm gatekeeping eunuch saw a tall figure, leaning on a blind cane, walking step by step along the imperial path.

The gatekeeping eunuch squinted, recognizing the newcomer as the newly appointed Vice Minister of Rites, Meng Qin!

"Vice Minister of Rites, Meng Qin, Minister Meng has arrived!" The eunuch announced loudly.

The previously tense atmosphere instantly relaxed, and everyone turned to look at the figure outside the hall.

Dressed in blue, with a black cloth covering his eyes, the dignified Meng Qingzhou finally arrived late.

Meng Qingzhou cupped his hands and bowed, saying:

"Your Majesty, this minister, Meng Qin, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

At the same time, Qin Fenghuo, seeing the newcomer, felt his brain freeze.

For a long time...

Qin Fenghuo opened his mouth wide, woodenly turned his head, and looked at Jiang Canghai, his face full of tears.

"Did I... cause trouble?"

"Minister Meng Qin is actually the Emperor's vest!??"
