Just as he was recalling Ye Weibin's character traits in his mind from the corner of his eye, Shunyi suddenly walked in from the outside in a hurry: "Your Highness, Fan Changping just sent someone over to ask for instructions. He said that the second prince was stopped by the guards at the palace gate. Master Fan asked me to come with him." Please ask for permission whether to put the second prince into the palace."
Shunyi trembled slightly as he spoke. What he was worried about was not the return of the second prince, but Fan Changping.
When he first heard that Fan Changping had used thunderous means to drive Ji Mosheng and a group of high-ranking officials out of the capital, he had laughed at Fan Changping's impatience.
But now it was his turn, and Shunyi was shocked to realize the danger involved.
In less than a month, Fan Changping had completely taken control of the palace.
It was such a big deal that the second prince came back. It was not the guards who came to report it, but Fan Changping sent someone to report it.
No matter how he thought about it, Shunyi felt shuddering.
Yu Guang was quite indifferent: "Just let him in."
Supporting the royal family and becoming a mascot was what Yu Guang wanted.
If he didn't even have this ability, Fan Changping wouldn't be worthy of being the first assistant.
Seeing that Yu Guang was really not angry, Shunyi understood something in her heart, and instead of mentioning Fan Changping's matter, she directly called someone out to bring the second prince in.
Compared to the third prince, the second prince seemed much more stable.
He is already sixteen years old this year, but I don't know if he heard something before, but there is a hint of sadness in the second prince's eyebrows.
Thinking of the things that Concubine Li had revealed before, Shunyi looked at the second prince with vigilance in her eyebrows, fearing that the second prince would suddenly pounce and hurt Yu Guang.
From the corner of his eye, he looked at the second prince from top to bottom. He should be a man who practiced martial arts all year round. Although he looked thin, his limbs were strong and strong.
In the memory of the original owner, the second prince had been practicing martial arts with his master since he was seven years old.
He doesn't often stay with Ye Chen on weekdays, but follows his master everywhere.
Later, when Ye Chen ascended the throne, the second prince stayed in the palace for nearly a year, and then left the palace again to explore the world.
Perhaps because Axiu was once the original owner's personal maid, the second prince was quite respectful to the original owner.
When he was in the palace, he would also come to greet the original owner according to the rules, which made other people laugh at him.
It's just that the second prince's face was still full of childishness at that time, not as downcast and gloomy as it is now.
As soon as the second prince entered the main room, he saw out of the corner of his eye the figure sitting in the main seat.
The ends of his eyes were slightly red, and he suddenly knelt down in front of Yu Guang: "My son, I am here to apologize to my mother."
There were no polite greetings or false excuses. The second prince just knelt upright in front of Yu Guang.
Everyone was stunned by the second prince's sudden move, not knowing which song the second prince was singing.
Yu Guang smiled calmly: "You are honest."
The second prince kowtowed respectfully to Yu Guang: "My son is guilty to begin with. I know more or less what Concubine Li has done."
His mother was a concubine. Before entering the palace, he could only call his biological mother aunt.
After entering the palace, due to his low status, he could only call her Concubine Li.
This is not only the pain of his mother, but also the pain of his heart. He really feels sorry for his mother.
He knew in his heart what his mother was going to do.
But on one side is my aunt, and on the other side is my mother.
He couldn't betray his mother, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to what happened to his aunt, so he agreed to his mother's idea of sending him out of the palace to travel.
Over the years, he has maintained a habit of contacting his mother and concubine every ten days.
But just a month ago, news about my mother suddenly stopped.
There was also good news in the palace that the queen mother had been blessed by heaven and came back from the dead.
Knowing that something must have happened to his mother-in-law, he hurried back.
In fact, he came to Beijing three days ago. In order to know what happened in the palace, he specifically asked someone about the situation, and then decided to come back.
Over the years, he had been living in fear outside, but now a big stone fell to the ground, and he felt relaxed.
After saying this, the second prince knelt down on the ground and said, "Wei Jian is guilty. He knew Empress Li's thoughts and neither dissuaded nor warned the Queen Mother. This caused Empress Li to commit such a big mistake. Please punish the Empress."
Shunyi: "." I had too little contact with the second prince before, so I didn't realize that the second prince was actually a ruthless person.
This apology was somewhat interesting, as there was no shirk at all, but he directly took the blame on himself.
It doesn't look like he's coming back to plead guilty, but rather like he's coming to die.
He looked at the second prince with a smile from the corner of his eye: "Ye Weijian, come here to plead guilty. Do you really feel that you are guilty, or do you want to beg me to let your mother out?"
Shunyi: "." Well, their empress spoke in the same straightforward manner.
Ye Weijian was still lying on the ground: "I know that Empress Li's crime is unforgivable, but as a son, I cannot watch my biological mother die, but if I save Empress Li, I will be sorry for my mother.
Therefore, the son-in-law thought about it and only came up with a solution. The son-in-law was willing to sacrifice his own life to exchange for his mother and let the concubine Li out of the palace. "
After saying that, he stood up and grabbed the vase placed in front of the screen and smashed it. Then he picked up the sharpest piece and stabbed himself directly in the heart.
The thing happened so suddenly that no one around him had time to stop it. They could only watch Ye Weijian stab the vase fragment into his chest without any effort.
Just when the porcelain piece was about to touch his heart, Ye Weijian felt his hands go numb and he couldn't exert any more strength.
The powerful pain made him turn to the corner of his eye with a pale face, but he still saw a smile on his face: "I never intended to take your life. Since you want me to let your mother out, why don't you talk to me about it?" Talk about what you’re willing to give.”
It was rare for Ye Chen to give birth to a filial son. It would be a pity if he died.
A Xiu's life has been worse than death recently. The dark room, the mercury pouring into the room from the window every few days, is constantly destroying her spirit and body.
She had lost a lot of hair. Just yesterday, she felt that she had a large bald patch on the top of her head.
At the same time, I kept having nosebleeds and my body became weaker and weaker.
God knows how long it had been since she had been in the sun, but if she wanted to get close to the sun, she had to step into the thick mercury first.
She had tried it once before, but her feet were still swollen and her skin was itchy.
Similar to her situation is Ye Chen. Since his health gradually improved, Ye Chen's speech and movements became more and more like a woman.
Not only does she have a shrill voice, she also likes to twist her hair with her orchid fingers, and even her figure becomes more and more enchanting.
When Ye Chen went to the toilet the day before yesterday, Axiu even noticed that Ye Chen was twisting his waist unconsciously.
The girly scene really disgusted Axiu.
