293 Reduced to commoners
Zhou Qingyi's eyes were full of suspicion when he saw him, "Brother Emperor, don't look at me like that." "It's hard for him to feel uncomfortable, he didn't leave anything." Second Emperor Brother, I didn't say anything, what are you doing so nervous? Zhou Qingyi put his hands behind his back, and his sharp eyes made Zhou Qingshu unconsciously avoid the past, and the brothers fell into an impasse. After a while, Zhou Qingyi spoke, and said, "Sister, you released it from the palace!" ”
Although it was a skeptical tone, the firmness in the tone was obvious. Zhou Qingyi took a breath and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhou Qingyi, "Second Emperor Brother, no matter how much you explain to me, it is useless, you also know the temper of your father." Right now, he is not relieved because of his mother's body, if he waits for his father to figure it out, do you think his father can be indifferent to this matter? ”
If the emperor really figured everything out, and the mastermind behind the scenes turned out to be his own son, no one could guess what would happen to him. A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhou Qingshu's back, and his underwear was attached to his back, which was extremely uncomfortable. He didn't expect his mind to be guessed by Zhou Qingyi, when did he have such a deep scheming?
It seems that he neglected to guard against him, and regarded him as the former eldest brother of the emperor, but he didn't know that while he was growing, Zhou Qing was also growing. And Zhou Qing also opened the mansion, and there are countless staff members in the mansion, which is not comparable to him alone. Thinking like this, Zhou Qingshu's fists under his sleeves were clenched together, as hard as stones.
"Second Emperor Brother, don't be nervous, if I want to go to my father to complain, I will go a long time ago, and I won't wait to tell you now. I just want to advise you, no matter how much my sister pleads with you, you can't soft-hearted promise her to help with this. No matter how good Wu Shizi is, is it more important in her heart than her father and mother. Zhou Qingyi's words made Zhou Qing feel relieved, and his heart hanging in the air slowly fell to the ground, grasping this and the life-saving straw and said: "Brother Emperor, my sister is the heart and soul of the queen mother, the person she likes, the person she wants to marry, do you think the queen mother will not compromise in the end?" ”
Rather than doing this in the future, it is better for him to help Zhou Qingyou now, which is good for everyone. Zhou Qingyi stared at him with a frosty face: "Don't you have any other ideas?" "Brother Emperor, if you say so, then I have nothing to say." Zhou Qingshu raised his feet and was about to leave, and if he continued to stay with Zhou Qingyi, he would feel out of breath.
Night fell, Jiang Feilong appeared in front of the emperor, he was sitting in the imperial study, picking up the fold, but he couldn't read a word. is still hesitating to go to Queen Pan to give in, who let Queen Pan not take decoction for so many years is for him, saying that he doesn't dare to move is false. But it's more of an anger at Queen Pan, why didn't he tell her if he hurt her body, could he be happy?
It's a pity that Queen Pan hasn't come over until now, let alone looking for him to be soft, I'm afraid she is still thinking about Zhou Qingyou who left the palace. He just didn't tell Queen Pan in detail, Zhou Qingyou is a girl's family, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, how can she disappear for no reason? When he first learned about it, the emperor was furious. But if you think about it carefully, the palace is heavily guarded, and ordinary people will never be able to break in, and they can still kidnap Zhou Qingyou.
There are also a lot of guards in Zhou Qingyou's bedroom, although they are not all strong in martial arts, but they are not idle people, how can they not alarm them and take Zhou Qingyou away. Coupled with Zhou Qingyou's abnormal behavior these days, the emperor can quickly think of what her purpose is? Isn't it just to marry Wu Guowei, at first he also planned to marry the two of them, in order to make Queen Pan happy.
Now it seems that Wu Guowei can't get into his eyes at all, but Lin Xiangqi's sister-in-law Lin Ruoxi is more suitable for Zhou Qingyou, and his vision will not be wrong. It's a pity that Queen Pan can't listen to it, and now even Queen Pan is hesitating, so he is even less anxious. In addition, if Zhou Qingyou finds a way to escape from the palace, someone must help her, otherwise with her alone, she will definitely not leave the palace so easily, this person is none other than the second prince Zhou Qingshu.
He has always had a good relationship with Zhou Qingyou, and it is not impossible to help her. In addition to Zhou Qingshu in the trial palace, who else can help Zhou Qingyou escape from the palace, and can also find Wu Guowei. The emperor guessed the intention of the two siblings, and forced him to marry. Jiang Feilong's appearance disturbed the emperor's thoughts, and when he learned that he brought Zhou Qingyou back to the palace, the emperor immediately asked him to bring Zhou Qingyou in, he wanted to hear how this rebel girl explained to him?
After Jiang Feilong received the order, he immediately turned around and left. It was Wu Guowei who entered the palace with Zhou Qingyou, and Jiang Feilong saw that he was with Zhou Qingyou, and brought him into the palace with him. Regardless of whether his father is Wu Ge Lao or not, as long as he has something to do with Zhou Qingyou's disappearance, then he will dutifully take him to the emperor to restore his life. The emperor trusts them a lot, and he has a lot of rewards on weekdays, if he can't afford this reward, isn't it a joke?
He is not afraid of offending anyone, because the emperor is their master, they only obey him, and no one else wants to command the Jinyi guard, they are the emperor's personal soldiers. The emperor didn't wait for Zhou Qingyou to kneel down, he had already picked up the tea cup in his hand and smashed it towards Zhou Qingyou's forehead, and for a while, Zhou Qingyou didn't have time to dodge, it was too fast.
The tea poured her face without saying a word, and her forehead was also smashed red and swollen, Zhou Qingyou was a little stunned by the smashing for a while, and covered her head and took two steps back. Wu Guowei was so frightened by the emperor's actions that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his hands under his sleeves were clenched tightly, he knew that the emperor would definitely be angry, and it was even more impossible for him to marry Zhou Qingyou. He shouldn't have listened to Zhou Qingyou's words and entered the palace with her.
If he left early before Jiang Feilong arrived, there would be nothing. Who made his ears soft, and he was worried that after marrying Zhou Qingyou, he would get supreme rights, which would allow him to get more respect in the Pingbohou Mansion, and let the Xue family re-manage the middle feed of the mansion. No one in Ping Bohou or the prison told him the news of Xue's death.
Wu Guowei was annoyed, he lowered his head, and his neck was about to shrink to his chest. If he could, he would have liked to find a hole to get into, so he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed, and his face was hot and uncomfortable. Zhou Qingyou is still the pearl of Empress Pan's palm, the emperor actually smashed her with a teacup without asking the reason, so will he be more unlucky, and the emperor will not spare him.
The more I thought about Wu Guowei, the more annoyed I became, I shouldn't have listened to Zhou Qingyou's words and entered the palace, just because of such a little power, I don't even have a chance to regret it now. Zhou Qingyou didn't know what Wu Guowei was thinking at the moment, and raised his head and said: "Father, what are you doing, the son finally returned to the palace, you are so kind to the son, if the queen mother knows, how distressed it should be." "She has something to rely on, that is, Queen Pan.
She didn't believe that Queen Pan knew and would not stand up for her. The emperor's eyes were cold, looking at Zhou Qingyou, who was a little strange in front of him, at this time, she could still use Empress Pan to threaten her with confidence. It seems that Queen Pan is too disciplined to her, she doesn't know the slightest measure, and she is still pampered and arrogant. "Shut up!" The emperor's clear voice came into Wu Guowei's ears, making him tremble with fright, of course the emperor would not miss this scene, let alone Zhou Qingyou.
I saw her quickly put down the hand covering her forehead that was red and swollen, turned around and walked to Wu Guowei's side, supported him, and whispered: "Don't worry, I will never let you have any trouble." The firmness in her eyes made Wu Guowei sneer a little, I really don't know where she got her confidence, the emperor will spare her? Didn't she see the coldness in the emperor's eyes and his indifference to her, what could Wu Guowei say, the emperor and Jiang Feilong were there, he could only pull the corners of his lips and laugh lightly.
The anger in the emperor's eyes erupted from his eyes, as if he wanted to burn the Wu Guowei in front of him to ashes. What kind of thoughts does he have, the emperor knows very well, just because he is so unproductive and unresponsible, he also wants to marry Zhou Qingyou and become the concubine of the Dayue Kingdom? Zhou Qingyou turned his head and glared at the emperor: "Father, if you are so angry again, the ministers will leave the palace, and if you don't return to this palace!" ”
She still hasn't realized how much the emperor dislikes her, she doesn't care about how Empress Pan is, and she is still threatening the emperor with Empress Pan, you say, how does the emperor like such a daughter. Especially Queen Pan is not in good health now, and she is thinking about her with satisfaction. How could the emperor not sprinkle the resentment in his heart on her, "Since you don't want to stay in the palace so much, then I will fulfill you." When someone came, he immediately issued an order to demote the eldest princess Zhou Qingyou to a commoner and send her out of the palace. ”
The undisguised ridicule and displeasure in the emperor's eyes made Zhou Qingyou slowly calm down, and the emperor didn't seem to be joking with her. If she is really demoted to a commoner, how will she live in the future? Not to mention the days of fine clothes and food in the past, where is she going to live? The emperor is ruthless enough, outsiders think that he dotes on Empress Pan, and now it seems that this is no more than that. As the saying goes, love the house and Wu, but what about the emperor!
This is not the case at all, at the moment, she first coaxed the emperor to be happy, and then went to Queen Pan to sue him fiercely, to see how he explained to Queen Pan, thinking about it like this, Zhou Qingyou's heart was a little more comfortable. As soon as she was about to open her mouth to give in to the emperor, she saw the emperor with a black face, got up behind his hands, and left in front of her as if no one was around, and directly ordered Jiang Feilong not to hesitate, and immediately sent her out of the palace with Wu Guowei.
Wu Guowei's heart had long been frightened by the emperor, and now the whole person relied on Zhou Qingyou to support him, otherwise he would have fainted to the ground. I have to say that the emperor's heart is really ruthless. As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, and the emperor inevitably takes Zhou Qingyou too seriously. After Jiang Feilong waited for the emperor to leave, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Two of you, please!" ”
"Jiang Feilong, you are just a lackey of my father's emperor, and you dare to deal with this princess's house, I think you are tired of it!" Zhou Qingyou dared to scold anyone, she didn't care how much Jiang Feilong was favored by the emperor. Wu Guowei tugged Zhou Qingyou's sleeve and motioned her to stop talking. No matter how Jiang Feilong is, he is also a close confidant of the emperor, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, if he provokes Jiang Feilong's disgust again, Zhou Qingyou is afraid that he will really have to be a commoner for the rest of his life.
Zhou Qingyou smiled and patted the back of his hand, "You can rest assured, this palace is the pearl of the queen mother's palm, and the queen mother will not watch my father bully me like this." I'm going to find the queen mother and let her make the decision for me! At this time, Zhou Qingyou didn't forget to put the princess on the shelf, Jiang Feilong snorted coldly, walked outside the palace, and ordered the Jinyi guards, and then the two Jinyi guards pulled Wu Guowei away, and Wu Guowei didn't dare to resist at all.
He still wanted to live a few more days, he didn't have the courage to argue with the emperor, making Ping Bohou unhappy, and even causing him to spread his anger on Xue's body. If he knew that the Xue family had passed away at this moment, he might be like Zhou Qingyou, unscrupulously spreading wild.
"Jiang Feilong, you dare, let your people let go of me, you group of dog minions, this princess is also the person you can catch. Spread your dog's paws, you're sick to death. Zhou Qingyou shouted all the way, Jiang Feilong didn't move, but he didn't hide his dissatisfaction with her in his eyes. Who let Zhou Qingyou rely on the favor of Empress Pan on weekdays and not take them in his eyes, this time she happened to provoke the emperor's disgust.
They just do what they are told, and it is the emperor who ultimately calls the shots. Empress Pan can even ignore the emperor for the sake of Zhou Qingyou, and the emperor's dislike for Zhou Qingyou is even worse. Zhou Qingyou has always relied on the favor of Queen Pan, doing whatever she wants in the palace, being rude, now it's okay, with the emperor coming forward, I'm afraid that even Queen Pan won't be able to save her. It wasn't until she was sent out of the palace gate by the Jinyi guard, and with a bang, the palace gate was closed, that Zhou Qingyou realized at this moment that the emperor was not scaring her, but really wanted to demote her to a commoner.
The fear in her chest rose slowly, and she wished she could tear her mouth apart, so she didn't want to argue with the emperor just now, she didn't even see Queen Pan's face now, and she was kicked out of the palace. How can this be? Wu Guowei on the side couldn't help but comfort: "Princess, don't worry too much, maybe the saint is just angry for a while, and after a long time, it will be fine." ”
"Yes, you're right, how could my father really blame me, let's go, go home!" Zhou Qingyou heard Wu Guowei say this, and the corners of his mouth instantly pursed, and a light smile was hooked. Wu Guowei didn't calm down, he was pulled away by her, Zhou Qingyou shouldn't want to go back home with him! She was demoted to a commoner by the emperor, can she be respected by Pingbohou as before, can she alleviate the current impasse for him?
After all, Zhou Qingyou is the daughter of Empress Pan and the emperor, and the emperor will definitely not really demote her to a commoner, so thinking about it, Wu Guowei has a little more smile on his face. Zhou Qingshu and Zhou Qing also looked at each other in surprise when they learned that the emperor demoted Zhou Qingyou to a commoner, and then both brothers felt that they had to enter the palace to find Empress Pan in order to settle the matter.
But before he reached the gate of the queen's bedroom, he was stopped by the guards, and the emperor had an order that no one was allowed to go in and disturb Queen Pan. The brothers had no choice but to return, and Zhou Qingyi glanced at Zhou Qingshu meaningfully before leaving. The fact that the emperor sent Jiang Feilong to bring Zhou Qingyou back to the palace with Wu Guowei so quickly was enough to show that he had not lost his mind because of Empress Pan's illness.
