When he returned to the palace, he came to the imperial doctor, who said that the emperor was angry and needed to recuperate, so he retreated.

The chief eunuch served beside the emperor, and he didn't dare to come out, and the maids and eunuchs around him were trembling.

And on the other side of the court, above the "this.. How is this good" The military department Shangshu wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, the emperor's father frowned, the white hair on the sideburns did not seem to affect his majesty, he stood in place at the moment, wanting to use the foundation of his life to exchange for the name of his relatives, he remembered the appearance of the little prince calling him grandfather when he was a child, those years seemed to be close at hand...

He closed his eyes and walked out of the courtroom.

Minglitang

The chief eunuch had a meal early, stood respectfully beside him, just waiting for the emperor to eat, the emperor has been holding the fold to deal with the border military affairs, he looked at the emperor, since the emperor ascended the throne has been serving himself, he has been accustomed to seeing the majesty and quiet of the emperor over the years, and this is still the case. When the hour came, he approached, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body, eat less, the imperial dining room specially prepared ice powder for you to relieve the heat, you can eat a little more." There was a moment of silence.

"Let's eat." The emperor watched the palace maid and the eunuch put on the delicacies with his muddy old eyes, a dish here may not be able to be poor for the common people in their lifetime, but he has used most of his life, it has long been tasteless, he wants to eat some porridge and side dishes, he is old, he just wants his children and grandchildren to be harmonious and take care of his old age, but his sons do not let him worry. And now only his second son is the one who can take on the big responsibility, so he ordered the second prince to enter the palace to meet him.

As soon as the chief eunuch came out of the gate of Mingli Hall, he met the queen who rushed here, he was used to seeing the concubine come to send pastries for favor over the years, and the queen was the mother of the country, and he disdained to do this kind of thing that did not match his identity, he stepped forward according to the etiquette and blessed the queen, and planned to leave.

The queen looked at his perfunctory appearance, and felt even more angry, so she asked the attendants around her to stop him, and helped the hairpin on her head, "Father-in-law, this palace wants to meet the emperor, and I am tired of reporting it." The maid beside the queen pushed the chief eunuch, "Didn't you hear what our mother said, father-in-law, shouldn't the master's words be implemented immediately?" , Don't go in to report" The queen showed a little impatient look, and the cold eyes of the chief eunuch fell on the queen and the others, and put the floating dust "Our family is going to do the task given by the master, the queen mother, you still go to find a report, there is only one emperor in this world, I hope the queen understands." ”

The emperor in the hall heard this conversation and waved his hand, "Let the queen come in." The emperor put the chopsticks in his hand under his head, and the palace maid beside him hurriedly handed over the handkerchief with his hand. The queen entered the Mingli Hall with the support of a group of servants.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are just worried about your body and are sick with thoughts, so I hope the emperor will not blame the concubines." After the queen finished the salute, she explained, the emperor looked at his former wife of the dregs, the wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her eyes could no longer be hidden, and she smiled and said to the queen, "You have worked hard all these years, and the management of the harem in the future will be handed over to the concubine, and it is time for you to rest." ”

The queen panicked, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down, "The emperor doesn't want it, the concubines are not tired, and they can share their worries with you and the sisters in the harem." The concubine has been in charge of the harem for many years, and the other sisters have no experience in many things. ”

"Oh, yes, I forgot, but Queen, do you really take me for a fool?" After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed the queen's chin, "Do you really think that I don't know the good things you have done over the years!" You and your bold son have disobeyed me so far, it is really a sin that deserves death, I remember that you are my wife, I don't blame you, you are good, the thief heart does not die. After saying that, he kicked the queen down, and this kick seemed to run out of strength, and he gasped for a while, buried his body in the chair, and no longer looked at the queen.

The queen collapsed and burst into tears...... At this moment, she finally knew that the tide was turning. At this moment, she is no longer the Michelle Yeoh before, and the emperor in her mind is also disgusted with her, "Even if the emperor doesn't want a concubine, but our son is innocent, I beg you to spare the prince's life, the concubine is willing to live a lifetime, and the concubine's family will listen to you, please...."The queen burst into tears, lost her former dignity, and pulled the emperor's sleeve while struggling, and the emperor threw him away. Never let it out. "The night is still long.

The chief eunuch summoned the second prince overnight with a will, and the emperor was dressed in clothes, sat on the desk to approve the folds, raised his eyes, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and looked at the second prince, "Good boy, you are here." The emperor asked his second son to come forward and touch the second prince's head, looking like a loving father is no different from ordinary people, "Erchen knows that his father has been worried about state affairs recently, but you must take care of your body, you are healthy, and this country can be stable." The second prince looked at the emperor worriedly. Erchen heard that the queen mother came just now, she must have come for the prince, you must not be soft-hearted, the queen must have been instructed by the prince and her mother's family, if they succeeded, not only you, this country will change its surname. The second prince looked at the emperor with a worried face, "From now on, she is no longer the queen, and she is not worthy of the throne." The emperor said solemnly

"I'm old, but I'm not confused, my body has really not been as good as before in recent years, hum! But as long as the country is in my hands for a day, the prince will not be allowed to get involved, and the prince's rebel son will not be able to force the palace, so he wants to start from the harem... Alas, forget about him, let me take a good look at you. ”

The second prince rolled his eyes, "Father doesn't have to worry too much, Erchen knows that you are worried about being rebellious by the prince, Erchen has already deployed everything, I know that you are forced by the power of the queen's mother family to do it, but Erchen is willing to share your worries, I found a thin horse as a secret guard, and sent them to assassinate the prince, I will definitely be able to solve the big trouble for you and stabilize my society." Seeing that the second son understood the righteousness like this, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the second prince served the emperor and drank the medicine, and then walked to the palace gate accompanied by the chief eunuch, "Second prince, your filial piety, Your Majesty will definitely understand," the chief eunuch said, "My father's health is not only related to me, but also to the people of Limin. ”

"Okay, father-in-law, stop," the second prince arched his hand and walked out of the palace. The chief eunuch looked at the back of the second prince, and only felt that the sky seemed to be changing.
