There was a deathly silence in the palace.
The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and Feng Ruobao had already retreated with the palace attendants.
Lan Shu looked at the silent emperor, a hint of disappointment gradually appeared on her face.
Wei Wanyi has not been able to find out anything from Mrs. Wei so far, and now she learned that there is something strange about Aunt Wang Chun who is beside the Queen Mother.
As the father of children, the emperor should have his responsibilities.
Therefore, she told the matter, hoping to get some clues from him to save her daughter and King Rong from having to work so hard to verify.
There was a wry smile on Lan Shu's lips. Her eyesight on people was indeed not as good as her daughter's.
Since the emperor refused to say anything, there was no need for her to stay. When she turned to leave, her hand was held by someone.
"Three years ago, the Beiling commander who ordered the ambush of the National Guard Army was a remnant of the previous dynasty. His original intention was to take the opportunity to overthrow the Shi family and regain the country."
The emperor's voice sounded slowly, hollow and pale.
"The turmoil of the previous dynasty almost destroyed the world. The people hated the royal family of the previous dynasty, but more importantly, they were afraid. I don't want the world to know that there are still remnants of the previous dynasty who are on the run and intend to overthrow our country, the Wei Dynasty.
The magistrate of Qi County who led the Beiling Army into the country was my first disciple of the Emperor. I don't want to be thought by the world that I am an incompetent monarch who mistakenly regards a detailed work as a disciple.
As for the queen and the prince, one is the mother of the Wei Dynasty, and the other is the future emperor of the Wei Dynasty. If they murder Zhongliang and destroy the bridge, they will chill the people of the world and become an excuse for people with ulterior motives to attack the royal family.
Lan Shu, if the people's hearts are unstable, the world will be unstable. I never thought about Wei Qingyan's death. I even regretted her death, but she is already dead.
Even if I kill the prince and the queen, she still cannot survive, so I want peace in the world. "
"But is it peaceful now?" Lan Shu looked half-smiling, unable to hide her sarcasm, "I see that you are sitting in a position where the wind is leaking from all sides.
Since you have your concerns, I won't force you, Shi Jin. I just hope that you won't touch the Anyuan Hou Mansion. "
"Okay, I promise you, Prince, I have resigned. Let's stop with the Huangsha Ridge incident." The emperor's voice was a little weak.
"How did our daughter go to the Wei family? I will order someone to investigate this matter."
"If I don't, will you take action against me?"
Lan Shu's eyes flashed. She had already learned about Su Fu and Magistrate Qi from Wei Qingyan. It was just a test question.
The emperor's words of obstruction were clearly telling her that there was the truth behind Huangshaling.
No, she had to go back and tell her daughter quickly.
The emperor smiled helplessly, "The day you married me, I promised you that I would never do anything to hurt you. Lan Shu, this promise is still valid."
Lan Shu suppressed the emotion in her eyes and twitched her lips, "Then let's just pretend that I haven't been here today, and you don't know that Qingyan is your child."
How could it not be hurt?
Sometimes inaction hurts more than action.
Dead silence returned to the hall, except for the sound of Lan Shu's leaving footsteps.
After a long time, Feng Ruobao walked lightly to the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, she is gone."
"Yes, she is gone." The emperor murmured lowly.
How could he not know that she was gone.
He looked at her with his own eyes and left quickly without looking back.
Just like back then, when she wanted to leave the palace, she did not hesitate to pretend to be crazy. He was her pillow, so how could he not see that she was pretending.
But this palace was already a prison for her, so he could only let her leave, and they were separated for nearly twenty years.
When we met again, there was no more emotion in her eyes.
This time, she was probably extremely disappointed. Will we have to meet again after twenty years?
"Ruobao, do I have twenty years left to live?"
The emperor's heart suddenly felt like a pain swallowed by thousands of ants.
Who dares to reply to the emperor's words?
Feng Ruobao was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, you are Long Live Lord, Long Live Long Live Long Live."
The emperor sneered, "Long live is the biggest lie in the world. If the emperor can really live long, how could the late emperor die?"
Feng Ruobao knocked his head on the ground, not daring to say a word and even holding his breath.
The emperor did not embarrass him and said in a low voice, "I don't want ten thousand years. What I want is to be with her day and night. What I want is her children to be by my side, even if it's ten years."
He murmured and walked out of the imperial study.
Feng Ruobao hurriedly followed.
Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother looked at Shi Yu with an angry look on her face, "How long are you going to spend time in the Ai family?"
Shi Yu said calmly, "When the emperor has dismissed the prince, my sons and ministers will leave on their own."
"Shi Yu, you are so brave. The Ai family is the Queen Mother, and you dare to kidnap the Queen Mother in the palace." The Queen Mother was so angry that her long nails were almost broken in anger.
Her two sons are really good.
The last time the emperor stopped her from rescuing the empress, he also trapped her in the palace and used tenderness.
This time, Shi Yu stopped her from saving the prince and also trapped her in the palace.
It's really good!
"The Queen Mother is in a serious condition. The son has not been in the palace for a long time and was bullied by a junior. Now he comes to the palace to complain to the Queen Mother. How can there be any talk of plundering."
Shi Yu's face was expressionless as he sat in front of the Queen Mother, "My son is twenty-three this year. The emperor finally granted me a marriage. I have a fiancée, but the prince wants to snatch her away in public.
He also cursed his son that he would not be able to live for a few days. He was bullied into this. If he still allowed his mother to intercede for him, I am afraid that his life would be in his hands without waiting for him to ascend the throne. "
He raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, "Or is it that the Queen Mother hopes that he will end his son's death?"
"You...don't talk nonsense." The Queen Mother's face was gloomy, "He won't do it."
"He will definitely do it. He has assassinated countless sons and daughters over the years. The sons and daughters didn't believe in their mother and they didn't know anything about it." Shi Yu always paid attention to the expression of the Queen Mother, and at the same time he also paid attention to Grandma Wang Chun out of the corner of his eye.
He had just intercepted the Queen Mother in the Royal Garden, held her arm directly, and forcibly brought her back to Cining Palace, but Grandma Wang Chun did not let anyone pull him away.
Aunt Wang Chun was also unwilling to save the prince.
Doing it so obviously shows that the mastermind behind her and Princess Yu is really angry with the prince this time.
It shows that Zhuangzi is extremely important to the people behind the scenes.
Could it be that the people who really complement each other with form are not Princess Yu and Liu Huan?
Looking at the Queen Mother again, she was angry and anxious. It was him who was angry and the Prince who was worried.
After many years of mother and son, he could still tell that the Queen Mother's anxiety and worry were not an act.
She was not the person behind the accusation against the prince.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, your Majesty has deposed the prince." A palace servant's voice sounded panicked from outside the door.
The Queen Mother turned pale and stood up from the chair. "The Prince... was deposed?"
The palace man lowered his head and said, "Yes, the prince has been imprisoned in the East Palace for three years and cannot leave."
The Queen Mother fell back on her chair and glared at Shi Yu, "So, are you satisfied?
Do you know what it means when the prince is deposed? It means that your nephews will fight against each other, which means there will be more fighting in the court. "
It also means that outsiders can take advantage of it.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and stared at Shi Yu.
Shi Yu stood up and faced her, "Mother, you always have to pay the price for doing something wrong. This is what the empress said when I sent troops to Beiling and the queen fed me the bone-breaking poison for the first time.
Queen mother, do you still remember?
The prince and the queen killed 20,000 national defenders, and they deserve no matter what punishment.
The son felt a little unwell, so he left the palace first. He would come to visit his mother another day when he felt better. "
The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes and covered up the tears in her eyes.
