Chapter 158: The Imperial City Changes
The prince who caused a sensation in the imperial city visited the flower building and killed people without giving money, and the impact of the case was extremely bad, and it was almost a topic that the people would discuss after dinner.
This wind is like someone agitating from it, the tide rises, and the people's feelings become more and more indignant.
Emperor Yunbi ordered the abolition of the crown prince for the sake of gambling Youyou, which somewhat calmed down the hot topic of everyone, but the secret torrent was rising.
Fengyi Palace, the queen's dormitory.
The crown prince paced back and forth with an anxious expression, and looked at the graceful and luxurious Empress Xiao with a gloomy face: "Queen Mother, what should I do now that my father has issued this holy decree." β
Empress Xiao raised her eyes slightly, a vicious light shot out of her eyes, and said fiercely: "Don't blame me for being unjust if he is unkind, you secretly send a competent person to the border to inform your uncle, and let him quickly lead the troops back." β
The prince hesitated slightly: "Queen Mother, you are-." β
"What am I, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to have today, since that's the case, then force him to comply, and the army will be overwhelmed, I don't believe that he won't abdicate and make way for Xian. "Empress Xiao's eyes are full of viciousness.
The biggest reason why she can be the queen is that her Xiao family has heavy troops, in order to avoid suspicion and to keep the biggest bargaining chip, in the early years, she conspired with her father to lead the Xiao Mansion to the imperial city, in order to have such a day.
At the beginning, the young Fangxin was now the emperor, so she asked her father to support him strongly, and finally assisted him to the throne, but she didn't get anything over the years except for this empty title.
At the beginning, she united several powerful concubines to force his most beloved woman to death, although he didn't say anything, but he could see his hatred for her from that look.
For many years, she kept the empty boudoir alone, watching him dote on the woman's maids, and the concubines who jointly forced the woman to death either died of illness or had madness, and the family gradually lost, so she became suspicious and kept a hand.
Now that the age has passed, the original love has gradually swallowed up and disappeared in countless lonely nights, and the hatred in my heart has gradually risen in the cold and alienated eyes of him.
The only hope for all these years was this son.
She has been preparing in secret for a long time, since he is so anxious, don't blame her for planning in advance, regardless of the relationship between husband and wife for many years.
Soon after the prince went out, she summoned the secret guard, gave one or two orders, and the secret guard disappeared into the palace.
Empress Xiao's face was hideous, and she stared viciously into the distance.
That stinky girl actually dared to frame her emperor, then she resolutely couldn't stay.
And the imperial study at this time.
Yun Bihuang's face became more and more gloomy when he listened to the secret guard's report, and the jade cup in his hand instantly shattered due to excessive force, and his gloomy eyes darkened: "This slut, I have long thought that she will have such a day, and I should have killed her earlier." β
Situ Moran and Mu who were standing on the side didn't say much, and everything that happened was still under control.
They had expected this.
Emperor Yun Bi found that he was out of shape, cleared his throat, and looked at Mu Qianqing with gradually flat eyes: "This matter is originally a matter of the royal family, since you think that the future princess of Situ Moran is not an outsider, and there are many things that have happened, so I will simply explain some things to you, so I can be prepared." β
Mu poured a slight smile, which was in response to this lonely emperor, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at Situ Moran, who was standing in front of the window with his arrogant and cold hands on the side.
She had basically heard him say most of these things, so there was nothing new, but whether he was the emperor or her future husband's father, of course she had to give face, so she could only be an earpiece.
Emperor Yunbi didn't care about her faux pas, and said to himself: "His mother is the most beloved person in the widow's life, but you also know that there are many things in the emperor's house that are helpless, and there is no way to respond to the requests of those meritorious ministers, and this harem is becoming more and more fulfilling, and his mother finally chose to leave, as for the reason for the widow, it was also known later." β
He glanced at Situ Moran's direction and then said: "The widow has been diligent and loves the people in his life, and the most sorry thing is their mother and son, when he learned the truth, the widow was really furious, but because of the foundation and stability of the imperial court, he secretly eliminated some of the concubines and families of those participants one by one." β
He paused and looked silently to the side, staring at Situ Moran in the distance.
Mu muttered in his heart.
It turns out that the emperor is here to use her as an excuse to explain it to someone, and it is really cunning.
However, it seems that Situ Moran's mother is really favored by him, otherwise he would not have been so concerned about him all these years.
A touch of loss flashed in Emperor Yunbi's eyes, and he paused and continued: "Over the years, the scattered things have been almost cleaned up, and the queen is left, but her father is really scheming, and he has long predicted that there will be a situation, so he hid in the borderland, and the widow really can't find an excuse to shake half of it for many years, and besides, if he holds the military power, it is easy to be ruined if he doesn't pay attention." β
"You are afraid that your throne will be unstable, just like you did back then, and you will give up my mother for the throne. Situ Moran, who had been silent for a long time, said coldly and gloomily, adding another layer of frost to the already cold and bone-chilling demon face, and there was a trace of anger in his bloodthirsty eyes.
"You~~~!" Emperor Yunbi looked like he wanted to be angry with his face, but after a while, his anger gradually subsided, and his eyes revealed some self-blame and remorse: "Yes, now the widow is willing to be by your mother's side, but the matter has been cast, and the widow only hopes to be optimistic about this great country with you, waiting for you to succeed to the throne and become the emperor." β
"I'm not interested in your country, and when the affairs of the imperial city are stable, I will go to my mother's hometown to find a way to resurrect my mother. Situ Moran's tone was cold, and he didn't see any emotion.
Emperor Yunbi stood up from the dragon chair in shock, and his voice trembled slightly due to excitement: "You~~ You mean that your mother concubine may be resurrected?"
Mu just stood quietly aside, with a somewhat distressed look in his eyes.
How could she not understand the pain in his heart.
In fact, what made him desperate the most was not those who persecuted his mother, but it was precisely this person who kept saying that he loved his mother deeply, but chose to give up his mother at the most critical time.
But he actually had this man's blood flowing in his body, so he didn't even have a chance to take revenge.
This complicated love tormented him for so many years, making him blame himself and regret it.
Situ Moran's ice eyes quickly flashed a different color, and he stared at Emperor Yunbi coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, as for the matter of the imperial city, I will handle it, and I will definitely give you a stable foundation, after all, this is in exchange for my mother, how can I let others get involved." β
After he finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward and took Mu Tian's tender little hand and walked out, not giving Emperor Yun Bi the slightest chance to ask.
Emperor Yunbi sat on the dragon chair dejectedly, his eyes full of loneliness.
He whispered: "The widow only wants to see her and beg her for forgivenessγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Mu glanced at Emperor Yunbi with complicated eyes, and shook the big hand in his hand that was somewhat trembling with anger with his jade hand comfortingly.
She could see the deep love in the emperor's eyes, but there was not the slightest hint of sympathy.
There are some things that are chosen and there is no turning back, especially feelings
