What happened in the court soon reached the ears of the concubines in the harem.
Especially the Queen, Grand Master Ye is her biological father, but now she is impeached by civil and military officials. Although the Emperor doesn't care, who knows when his deeds will be revealed next time?
At this moment, the queen suddenly realized that the biggest help for her now was not her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, but her title as queen. She must firmly hold the throne of queen and not let other humble maids have the chance. take!
"Someone! Someone!"
The maids trembled and knelt on the ground.
"I want to see the emperor!"
Fenxiang persuaded: "Your Majesty, the Emperor said last time that he will never see you again. Now you..."
The queen couldn't bear to hear such words at this time, and shouted angrily: "The emperor doesn't see me, so why can't I go to see him? Besides, my power is still there, why has it been changed? Quickly dress me up!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
…
In Lanyue Pavilion, Shen Qingyi was trying on a breast goggle when Eunuch Xia's voice came from outside the door.
"The Emperor has arrived——!!"
Shen Qingyi quickly put away the breast shield, took out a book of poetry, and pretended to read it.
After Jamel Xiao walked in, he took Shen Qingyi's hand without waiting for Shen Qingyi to salute: "What are you looking at?"
"It's a collection of poems."
Jamel Xiao looked through the collection of poems and saw that most of the contents were about sadness for spring and autumn. He couldn't help but sigh: "Qing'er is still so simple."
Shen Qingyi pretended to be puzzled.
Jamel Xiao scratched the tip of her nose and told her: "The palace is not peaceful these days. Qing'er will stay in the palace if she has nothing to do. Don't go anywhere. Do you understand?"
Shen Qingyi was confused: "The palace is so safe, and Qing'er is protected by the emperor, how can she be in danger?"
Seeing that Shen Qingyi trusted him wholeheartedly, Jamel Xiao fell in love even more: "You just need to remember that you must never leave Lanyue Pavilion unless there is nothing wrong. Once this matter is over, I promise you that I will give you justice."
After hearing this, Shen Qingyi understood most of it.
If anyone in the palace had ever bullied her, it was only the Queen and the Queen Mother.
Since Jamel Xiao said this, he was going to take action against the family power behind them - Master Ye!
[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully guessing the trends in the palace. You can use this to avoid disasters in the future and gain *1 palace value! 】
Jamel Xiao was busy with official duties, so he only sat for a while in Lan Yue Pavilion and then left. However, before Xiao Jamyan left, he heard a report from his servants that the queen was coming to Lan Yue Pavilion.
Jamel Xiao frowned and said, "What is she here for?"
"The Queen said she must see you."
"I don't want to see her!" Jamel Xiao said this and left Lan Yue Pavilion.
Shen Qingyi, who had witnessed the whole process, saw the queen standing with a sense of loss, and bowed her knees and saluted: "Concubine Shen Qingyi, please see the queen."
The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and looked at Shen Qingyi coldly: "It's you, right? The emperor refuses to see me, it must be because of you!"
Shen Qingyi shook his head: "How can a concubine be so virtuous that she can influence the emperor's mind?"
The queen took two steps closer, suddenly stretched out her hand, and clamped Shen Qingyi's wrist: "Shen Qingyi, you have been pretending to be stupid with me all this time, right?"
Shen Qingyi was stunned and remained silent.
Now that Taishi Ye has been sued by hundreds of officials and is in danger, the queen must be in a state of preparedness.
Shen Qingyi didn't want to get into trouble with her.
However, the queen did not want to let Shen Qingyi go: "Shen Qingyi, don't forget! Your father's life is still in my hands."
Shen Qingyi narrowed her eyes and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "All the subjects in the world are the emperor's subjects, and so is the concubine's father."
After saying these words, he completely gave up his intention to seek refuge with the Queen.
The Queen laughed, her eyes full of resentment: "Okay, okay, Concubine Shen is such a witty, courageous and resourceful woman. I want to see today whether it is your bones that are strong or my rules that are strong! Someone, will Shen Qingyi came to Fengyi Palace, I want to personally interrogate him!"
"yes!"
Fenxiang took the order and immediately stepped forward to hold Shen Qingyi hostage.
Luluo Cang was horrified: "No! Queen, my little master is not disrespectful to you. Please spare my life, Queen!"
"Drag this bitch away!"
"Pothos!!"
"Queen, please spare your life! Queen, please spare your life!"
Just when the scene was tense and entangled, Eunuch Qin from Fengyi Palace suddenly rushed over: "Queen, something serious has happened! Master Ye...he was assassinated on his way back home. !”
"What?!"
Upon hearing the news, the queen felt as if she had been struck by lightning and almost fainted.
Fenxiang gritted her teeth and shouted angrily: "You dog slave, don't stop talking nonsense!!"
Eunuch Qin trembled and said: "I dare not lie. A group of thieves stopped Grand Master Ye's carriage, killed Grand Master Ye and his guards, burned down the Grand Master's residence, and robbed all the gold and silver in the Grand Master's residence." , now everyone in the Ye Mansion has been buried in the sea of fire..."
"Father, mother! I...I...ah!!!"
When the queen heard this, her internal organs were all broken. After shouting loudly, she fainted suddenly.
[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully escaping with the help of external force in "Queen's Punishment" and gaining *1 palace battle value! 】
Seeing the queen and her entourage leave in a panic, Luluo said worriedly: "My lord, this thief killed Taishi Ye's family in broad daylight, wouldn't he kill innocent people indiscriminately?"
Shen Qingyi chuckled: "Silly Luluo, do you really think that those who killed Grand Master Ye were a group of robbers?"
In Gyeonggi City, at the feet of the Emperor.
What kind of robber can be so bold as to kill a court official in the street? Burn down the Grand Master's Mansion? Even slaughtered everyone in Ye Mansion?
What's even more outrageous is that when the commotion was so loud, the Royal Forest Army didn't even step in to stop it. Just let the murderer escape?
It’s incredible!
unless--
All this was ordered by a certain big shot.
And the person who can do all this is...
Looking at the confused Lu Luo, Shen Qingyi smiled and said nothing.
Soon.
I believe that the Queen's position will be vacant soon.
…
Inside Fengyi Palace.
The queen, who had been unconscious for a day and a night, faintly woke up.
The first thing he did after waking up was to grab Fenxiang's hand and ask about Master Ye: "Fenxiang, tell me that what I heard is all false, right?"
Looking at the empress's earnest eyes, Fenxiang couldn't help but choked up and said: "My queen, please express my condolences. Lord Ye has passed away. You must take care of yourself..."
The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and the queen was heartbroken.
It's over.
It's all over.
Her family, her relatives, her status...
The entire Ye family was wiped out, leaving her alone...
no!
She can't sit still and wait for death!
Pushing away the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, the Queen struggled to get out of bed: "I want to see the Queen Mother!"
Fenxiang quickly stopped her: "My Majesty, please calm down! The Emperor just issued an order saying that no one is allowed to visit the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother..."
The Queen's movement froze and she looked at Fenxiang in disbelief: "The Queen Mother, like me, was also imprisoned by the Emperor, right?"
Fenxiang suppressed her emotions, closed her eyes and nodded.
In the endless pain and torture, the queen suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha... I know, I know... All of this is because of the Emperor. The Emperor does not want to give the Ye family a way to live, and does not want to give it to me. A way to survive..."
In great grief, the queen suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
Fennel exclaimed when she saw this.
The queen smiled miserably: "Haha... It turns out that at the palace banquet, the emperor said you would cut it off, but you were so heartless. More than a hundred lives of the Ye family were lost in the sea of fire. From now on, the emperor, your kingdom, can live in peace and quiet for generations to come... …”
"puff……"
The queen burst into tears and vomited blood and fell into a coma.
Fengyi Palace suddenly became a mess.
…
It's Yinye time.
There were loud wails and the sound of weapons clashing from all around the palace.
After Shen Qingyi put on the breast shield, she asked all the palace residents to strictly guard the gate of Yufu Palace and not even a fly was allowed in.
Xiao Yinzi personally led the people and stood guard outside the door.
"My lord, do we need to be so nervous? The palace is heavily guarded, surely no thieves will break in, right?"
Before Shen Qingyi could respond, there was a rapid knock on the door outside Yufu Palace.
"Young Master Shen, I am a palace servant in Lingxue Ju. The residence of the Concubine Xian is surrounded by rebels. The Concubine has nowhere to go, so she sent me to call for help. I also asked the young master to open the palace door and follow the slaves to save people! "
Luluo looked at Shen Qingyi hesitantly.
Shen Qingyi shook her head firmly.
When Xiao Yinzi saw this, he resisted the door and refused to open the door no matter how much the man outside the palace begged.
After this palace official, several more people knocked on the door of Yufu Palace one after another. However, Shen Qingyi was determined and ignored them all.
This kind of movement lasted all night.
When it was about to dawn, Eunuch Xia finally came with his fifth son to pay his respects to Shen Qingyi.
"Congratulations, little master. Congratulations, little master. Last night, the Ye family's rebels fought back and invaded the palace. Fortunately, General Mu arrived in time and captured all the rebels. Now the palace is safe."
When Shen Qingyi heard this, she smiled happily: "That's great. I have been worried about the emperor all night, and now I feel at ease."
Xiao Wuzi said quickly, "Don't worry, my lord. At this critical moment, Concubine Yu, with a battalion of knights, arrived in time and ambush outside Zichen Palace. The Emperor is fine."
"Concubine Yu?" Shen Qingyi grasped the words keenly and said unexpectedly: "Isn't Concubine Yu sick? How could she lead troops into the palace?"
"You don't know something, my little master. Before Concubine Yu left the cabinet, she often followed General Mu to fight everywhere. She was a majestic female general. Most of the soldiers in the Xiaoqi camp obeyed Concubine Yu's orders. This time Concubine Yu pretended to be ill. Palace, after discussing with the emperor..."
The little fifth son was about to tell Shen Qingyi the story between Yu Guifei and the emperor. When Eunuch Xia saw that Shen Qingyi's face was getting more and more ugly, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Little master, please rest first. The emperor said that he was busy with things in the past and will come to see you later."
After sending Xiao Wuzi and Eunuch Xia away, Shen Qingyi fell down on the chair.
Luluo said: "My young master, now that Master Ye and his accomplices have been executed, Lord Shen is safe. Why do you look so unhappy?"
Shen Qingyi's face turned ugly: "Luluo, I made a mistake."
From the beginning to the end of this palace change, Shen Qingyi only thought about saving her own life, but she never thought about winning more things for herself through this palace change. But Concubine Yu did this.
She led the Xiaoqiying into the palace, not only resolving an urgent need, but also protecting the emperor and leaving a mark in the emperor's heart... She failed to do any of these things.
"Then little master..."
Shen Qingyi rubbed Qingming point: "Don't worry, the emperor will come up later, just say this..."
