It has been almost a month since the king of Chu was imprisoned in the heavenly prison.

The emperor did not order the punishment of the king of Chu, but he did not allow anyone to visit. The attitude is quite vague, making it difficult to see and guess what is going on.

Queen Ye cried and begged a few times, but the emperor did not relent, and only lightly told her to take care of her injuries.

These days, Empress Ye pondered over and over what the emperor had said, and an astonishing conjecture faintly appeared in her heart. The news she heard today confirmed her suspicions

The emperor wants to recognize Chen Yuanzhao and let him restore his status as a prince, and even has plans to pass on the throne to him!

Ye's identity is embarrassing, and it is impossible to enter the palace as a concubine. Chen Yuanzhao needs an upright mother. No one can match her after the sixth house.

The emperor refused to say it explicitly, just waiting for her to figure this out by herself, and then took the initiative to bow her head

Why?!

The illegitimate son of that cheap life should be the son of the Chen family for the rest of his life, how can he restore his identity as a prince? Will there be a day when he will sit on the throne?

She has been fighting with the Ye family for most of her life, and if she gives in at this time, she will lose completely.

No, she will never bow her head!

The palace maid on the side looked at Queen Ye's whole body trembling and her face was colorless, and she was also panicked, so she hurriedly came to the side of the bed and asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Is the wound on the forehead hurting again? The slave and maid will go and ask the doctor to come."

"No need!"

Queen Ye squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "You step back first, I want to be alone for a while." ”

Although the palace maid is not at ease. But he didn't dare to disobey Queen Ye's order, and reluctantly retreated.

As soon as the door closed, I heard the crunch of things falling to the ground in the bedroom.

Several palace maids who were guarding outside the dormitory sighed in unison.

Since the king of Chu was imprisoned in the heavenly prison. Queen Ye has been bedridden. The emperor has an edict that Queen Ye "needs to recuperate in peace", and no concubine is allowed to disturb her. The huge Yanfu Palace became deserted. Queen Ye's temper is also becoming more and more irritable day by day, and the things in the bedroom have been smashed several times

The injury on Queen Ye's forehead was already half healed, because she was so angry that she smashed something for a long time, causing the wound to burst. He passed out again.

The palace maids in Yanfu Palace hurriedly went to the Tai Hospital to invite the Tai Doctor, and went to the Chongzheng Palace to report the news.

At this time, An Guogong had already left the Chongzheng Palace.

The emperor solved this thorny trouble. I felt relaxed and comfortable in my heart, and when I heard the news, my face sank, and I said coldly: "Spread my message to Yanfu Palace." The queen should recuperate from her injuries in peace, and if the injuries recur. I will cure the sins of all the people in the Yanfu Palace. And also. From today on, the prison will not be allowed to send food over, so that the king of Chu will be hungry for three days and reflect on his mistakes. ”

Gonggong Zhao received the edict and immediately went to Yanfu Palace.

Queen Ye, who had just bandaged her forehead, heard the words from Gonggong Zhao, her face turned pale with anger, and her throat was sweet and fishy.

The people in Yanfu Palace are all her henchmen. If the emperor gives an order. took the lives of all the eunuchs and maids in Yanfu Palace, and she, the queen, was disgraced. In the future, there will be no shame to rule the six palaces.

What made Queen Ye even more angry was that the emperor was going to starve King Chu for three days. The king of Chu was frail, and he had been in prison for the past month, eating and sleeping poorly, worrying excessively, and he was already sick. It is impossible for the emperor not to know this, and he ruthlessly ordered that the king of Chu should not be allowed to eat for three days.

Where is this punishment for the King of Chu, this is simply to rip out her heart with a sharp blade

"This palace is going to see the emperor now. Even if Ah Yun makes a mistake, he is the emperor's son in the end. has been locked up in the prison for more than a month, not only did he not let him out, but he was not allowed to eat, how could there be such a ruthless father in the world. ”

Queen Ye was furious, she had lost her usual calm and reason, and struggled to get out of bed while shouting. As soon as I stood on the ground, my legs went limp.

Fortunately, the palace maid on the side was quick and helped her in time.

When Queen Ye was put back on the bed, her face was full of tears.

Seeing Queen Ye's appearance, Gonggong Zhao was also a little unbearable, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the slave said something that shouldn't be said." In the court, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and a word can decide the life and death of civil and military officials. Not to mention in this palace. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace. Compete with the emperor in anger, and the one who suffers is always himself, don't you say? ”

Gonggong Zhao is a close confidant of the emperor, and he also knows a little about the affairs of Ye's mother and son. Moreover, the emperor's recent actions are quite meaningful, and Zhao Gonggong has already guessed the emperor's thoughts.

Now I am persuading Queen Ye like this, half of it is because I want to mention Queen Ye who is afraid of the devil and refuses to obey the emperor's wishes, and secondly, I also want to take the opportunity to persuade Queen Ye to take the initiative to bow her head, and she can also ask for some credit in front of the emperor.

Queen Ye didn't make a sound, just closed her eyes and wept.

Zhao Gonggong was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to retire

Empress Ye did not survive these three days.

On the second day, when the palace maid came to report the news that "the king of Chu was sick and starved in the prison, and fainted from exhaustion", Queen Ye's fragile psychological defense suddenly collapsed.

If this continues, the life of the King of Chu will be tossed in the prison.

Empress Ye bit her lip hard, leaving two deep marks, her eyes flashed with anger, hatred, unwillingness, despair, loss, and all kinds of complex emotions, and in the end, she finally turned into a dead silence: "Come on, go to the Chongzheng Palace, and say that there is something important in the palace, and I want to see the emperor." ”

After a pause, he added sarcastically: "This palace is seriously ill and it is not suitable to get out of bed and walk around, please ask the emperor to come to Yanfu Palace." ”

The emperor is waiting for this day. Hearing that she was willing to bow her head to show weakness, I didn't know how happy I would be, and I would definitely come to Yanfu Palace immediately.

As Queen Ye expected.

After a stick of incense, the emperor came.

The emperor stepped into the bedroom and ordered lightly: "I and the queen have something to say, you all step down!" ”

At the sound of an order, everyone withdrew.

The husband and wife looked at each other.

Empress Ye clearly saw the secret joy in the emperor's eyes, and the suppressed hatred and anger in her heart quickly surged into her heart, and she couldn't restrain her harsh words at all: "The concubine begged the emperor several times, but the emperor refused to let go of Ah Yun." Now for Chen Yuanzhao, he is in a hurry to come to Yanfu Palace. ”

The emperor's face sank, and he said expressionlessly: "The queen specially asked people to invite me over, is that to say this?" ”

Of course not.

Empress Ye suddenly smiled, and her smile was indescribably sad: "Why does the emperor ask knowingly." What the concubine wants to say, the emperor knows it. (To be continued......)
