Chapter 120: The Ruthless Emperor

Looking at the fate of the midwife and the little palace maid, the rest of the people who were waiting were even more dedicated, and only hoped that the queen's baby could be born as soon as possible, and there would be no accidents.

Maybe it was because Ye Qiu was angry and frightened, but the next production went quite smoothly, and no one dared to make a move until he gave birth to a child.

"Wow...... Wow......"

Hearing the cry of a newborn in the delivery room, Ye Qiu and the prince stood up straight suddenly.

"Congratulations to the emperor, the queen mother gave birth to a little princess." After a while, a midwife with a round face and a slightly rich face walked out happily with a swaddling baby in her arms, and reported the baby to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu looked at the red baby in the swaddling clothes, and only felt a strong fluctuation in his heart, but what he was most concerned about at this time was the queen's body, and asked anxiously: "What about the queen, how is she?" ”

The smile on the midwife's face deepened when she heard this, and she said that the royal family had no true feelings, but she could see that the emperor's concern for the queen could not be faked, so she said with a smile: "The emperor can rest assured, the queen's mother is not in serious health, but she is a little tired after giving birth, and she fell asleep after seeing the little princess." ”

Ye Qiu relaxed his nerves at this time, took over his little princess, and laughed: "Reward, today's Weiyang Palace will reward all the rewards for one year and one month." ”

The palace people, you look at me, I look at you, and they all smile and kowtow to thank you: "Slave maid/slave thank Your Majesty for your grace, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live the princess!" ”

"Father, hug my sister for me." Ye Huaijin looked at the little baby's heart, and at the same time only felt that his heart was soft, this was his own sister! Although she doesn't look very pretty, he just can't help but love her.

Ye Qiu looked at the prince's curious and happy little eyes, and couldn't help but sigh, speaking of which, the prince is also fourteen years old this year, and if he had married earlier, he should have a child at this time.

It's just that he thinks it's not a good thing to get married too early, so the prince's family affairs have been delayed, which also gives some people some illusions that he doesn't value the prince.

Speaking of which, now that he has already figured out Concubine Rong's system, he can't threaten him at all, and now the most unsettling factor in the court is Prime Minister Xiao Cheng.

But Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is not only the father of the Queen Mother and his relatives, he is also an old minister of the two dynasties, and he has made a lot of great contributions, and there are still a lot of his forces in the court, although he can't threaten him, but in the same way, he can't easily move him, but he can't give the Xiao family the opportunity to murder the emperor's heir like this.

The future throne can only be the crown prince's, this is his last wish before his death in his previous life, and it is also the trust in the prince in this life!

"Grandpa, I always thought you were ambitious but at the same time loving." After the early dynasty, Ye Qiu left Xiao Boran alone, and the palace maids in the imperial study had already retreated, and at this time, there were only the two of them in the huge hall, Ye Qiu stepped down from the dragon chair and looked at Xiao Boran with coldness in his eyes.

Xiao Boran listened to Ye Qiu's words, and hurriedly knelt down, and his heart was shocked: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't understand what you mean. ”

Ye Qiu threw down a few pieces of paper, and there was no emotion in his tone: "These people who intended to murder the queen confessed a few days ago, you might as well take a look." ”

Xiao Boran picked it up with trembling hands, his face turned red, and he didn't know if it was because he was angry or afraid: "Your Majesty, this is all a traitor framing the old minister, the minister has never done such a thing, and the old minister is wronged." ”

"Okay, I know you won't admit it." Ye Qiu sneered, "What about these, haven't you done it yet?" After saying that, he threw down another stack of papers, "accepting bribes, buying and selling official positions, lying about grievances, and strangling refugees...... Could it be that someone else has wronged you as well? ”

Xiao Boran trembled, this time he was really scared, looking at the people on the list, as well as those transactions, they were all clear, but he didn't dare to admit it, this was a big crime of the Jiu clan, once he confessed, the Xiao family would be finished.

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know these things, it must be someone who is relying on the reputation of the old minister to do a lot of evil, I implore Your Majesty to give the old minister time, and the minister must find out the sinister heart of the villain behind this."

Ye Qiu saw that Xiao Boran still refused to admit his guilt at this time, and he didn't want to say more: "Grandpa, this is the last time I call you like this, if you are still willing to think about the Xiao family for the sake of the queen mother, you and your uncle will resign next time in the Great Dynasty!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Xiao Boran raised his head suddenly, his tone sad.

Ye Qiu looked at him straightly, his eyes were cold: "If I can come up with these things today, it means that I can come up with evidence, grandfather, don't try to challenge my patience and bottom line, I am your grandson, but I am the emperor of Dahong, if it weren't for the sake of the queen mother, do you think you can still stand here today?" ”

Xiao Boran clenched his hands, knowing that the general trend had gone, his body was paralyzed, as if he was ten years old in an instant, he was already almost seventy years old, at this moment, he seemed to have lost his vitality, like a dying old man, which was completely different from his previous strength in the court.

Ten days later, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, who had been in power for half of the court, shocked the entire Shangjing, this thing had no warning at all, and what was even more shocking was that the emperor did not have a trace of retention, and the court approved his excerpt, because of these two things to pave the way, the matter of Xiao Chengxiang's eldest son also resigned did not surprise everyone.

People speculated whether it was because the Xiao family did something that made the saint angry, and they didn't save any face for the Xiao family, but although Prime Minister Xiao Cheng fell, he was a relative of the emperor after all, and he only dared to talk carefully where no one was.

After the early dynasty, Ye Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the mountain that once pressed on his head was now finally gone.

The evidence he threw to Xiao Boran that day was actually half-true and half-false, I didn't expect that he was right, he was a very smart person with real skills, otherwise he would not have come to the point where he is now, of course, there are factors such as himself and the Queen Mother, but his own ability is the key.

If it weren't for him, the land reform would not have gone so smoothly, which is why he left a way back for the Xiao family.

Xiao Boran's biggest shortcoming in this life is that he takes rights too seriously, in fact, in the final analysis, the destruction of the country in his previous life was of course due to Xiao Boran's trouble, but the biggest reason is himself, he is the emperor, and he is the one who issued the order.

And although Xiao Boran is deeply guilty, his contributions since he became an official are also not small, so so let's do it, there is only one Xiao Qi left in the court in the Xiao family, and he can't make a big mistake or make a big contribution.

After the Queen Mother came back from the palace with the three princes, everything came to an end.
