Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 591
The queen favors the sixth house, but she doesn't want to have any more children.

She already has a prince, but the emperor has been subject to the empress dowager for a long time. Instead of having more children, what she should do now is to help the emperor consolidate his power.

Pregnancy will drag her body down, consume her energy, and even cause various unpredictable dangers.

Therefore, with a strong nature, she made such a decisive decision: no longer conceive.

This wasn't too troublesome at first, some wives and concubines were vying for favor, or women who were not fit to conceive would choose to take drugs to control the possibility of conception.

But it's still too deviant for the queen of the mother world to have such an idea.

Only Shen Yuqing dared to agree to such a thing.

"Crazy! The empress is crazy! Mrs. Shen is also crazy! These two women are crazy!" The emperor's eyes were about to split.

He never thought that his beloved queen would do such a thing without saying a word behind his back.

But the Queen's move was unsuccessful, because she became pregnant with Princess Consonance soon after!

Therefore, there is a problem with this prescription!

Zhao Ziyi was silent.

Although he and Shen Yuqing came from the same school, but their goals in life are different.

He read poems and books in order to become an official, to honor his ancestors, assist the king, and create a prosperous and peaceful world.And she reads because she is not interested in dealing with the world.

She is obsessed with her own world, and she prefers to think about those weird things, such as cultivating flowers and plants, refining medicinal powder, and concocting aromatherapy.

The two have similar interests, but they are not connected.

This also laid the groundwork for the subsequent parting ways.

But as Shen Yuqing's beloved man, did he really know nothing about the fact that the queen's heirs were exterminated by medicine?

Zhao Ziyi replied: As long as it is what she wants to do, he will never ask, and he can't ask.

If Zhao Ziyi was just a stupid boy, then the emperor would probably believe this kind of rhetoric.

But Zhao Ziyi is not this kind of person!
The emperor grabbed his collar and almost pulled him up from the wheelchair: "Why didn't you stop her? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it a secret for so many years? You—you—you— "

The emperor gasped heavily, "You deserve to die! I should cut you to pieces!"

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Ziyi let the emperor grab her like this, silently and obediently.

The prince knelt under the throne straight, without interceding.

In the silence, Gu Yong bowed forward: "Your Majesty, I believe that Prime Minister Zhao is not aware of this matter."

He defended him in a low voice: "Back then, when the prime minister's fame moved the capital and it was soaring, how could he allow Shen to act recklessly and ruin his bright future?"

It was fine if he didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, the emperor immediately grabbed Zhao Ziyi's neck.

"Yes! You were at the time when you were skyrocketing!" The emperor's fingers trembled slightly, "Back then you had a relationship with Mrs. Chen, but the queen strongly opposed it, so Mrs. Chen felt resentful, didn't you? And you, in order to protect your own Qian Cheng, knowing that Shen Shi committed a wrong thing, so he cruelly abandoned him, right?"

"No." Zhao Ziyi was pinched until her face turned purple, almost suffocating, but she still kept her usual calmness, clearly denying the emperor's guess.

"You, you," the emperor suddenly let go and coughed violently.

This matter was a royal secret, and the left and right palaces shunned wisely. The prince knelt on the ground and did not get up. The emperor had no one to wait on him, so he had to lean on a chair, unable to breathe.

Zhao Ziyi looked at the emperor who was out of control: "Now that the empress and the Shen family have both passed away, I don't know the truth of the matter. But—"

He smiled slightly, with an indifferent expression on his face: "If Your Majesty is unable to appease the hatred in his heart, I would like to offer my humble and crippled body in return for His Majesty's grace."

"Your remnant?" The emperor pressed his hands on the imperial case, leaning his upper body slightly.

"Yes." Zhao Ziyi sat in the wheelchair, arched his hands straight up, and replied: "I became an official when I was young, and I was honored by the Holy Family to accompany Your Majesty. I received the grace of the court and took the position of the prime minister. With such kindness, The minister is willing to perish to pieces, but it is also nine deaths without regret."

The emperor said angrily: "You just sit and watch Shen's medicine, let the queen be seriously injured, just let you be smashed to pieces, how can you?"

Li Xuanye raised his head abruptly.

The emperor stroked his heart with his fingers: "... If I want to kill you, I have to make up a decent excuse. Maybe someone in the previous court would scold me for killing innocent people indiscriminately!"

"Besides, your daughter is the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. For her sake, my son knelt under the throne to intercede for you!"

He glanced at the prince, and the disappointment in his eyes was frozen like frost.

"If I kill you, your daughter will still be the concubine! After my thousand years, when the crown prince succeeds, she can still be promoted to empress! —— How can I let you take over such a good thing?"

He smiled coldly, and the shrewdness and calmness of the emperor suddenly appeared in his eyes: "I only killed one of you, wouldn't it be a waste of money for you?"

Li Xuanye had been silent at first, but when he heard this, he immediately opened his mouth: "Father, this matter has been going on for a long time, and the truth has yet to be found out. If Zhao Ziyi was executed in a hurry, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the world that the queen mother has a rift with you? It's about the emperor. Empress Weiyi, how should the history books record this? Father, you have a deep affection for your mother, and you definitely don't want to see this kind of ending, right?"

Without waiting for the emperor to reply, he glanced at Zhao Ziyi again and said, "No matter what the truth is, Zhao Ziyi will not report it if he knows the truth. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is deceiving the emperor! Even if His Majesty does not hold him accountable, I will not let him go!"

This is very appropriate.

Not only avoided provoking the emperor, but also suppressed Zhao Ziyi, and took advantage of the situation to take the power of disposal on his own head.

Most importantly, it touched on the issue that the emperor was most concerned about: the empress took sterilization medicine in private. Once this kind of thing was made public, it would be recorded by the historian.

At that time, no matter what the truth is, it will leave endless room for imagination to future generations.

The emperor looked at the crown prince coldly, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Didn't you favor Zhao Ziyi for the sake of the crown princess?"

"Of course not!" Li Xuanye knelt at the foot of the white jade steps of the throne, and replied with a cold expression: "As the heir of a country, my son should argue clearly and make a decision. How can you bend the law for personal gain and abandon the family just because you love the princess?" Regardless of the country and the world?"

The emperor's expression was slightly restrained, and his anger seemed to have eased a little.

Li Xuanye said again: "Even if this matter has nothing to do with the Crown Princess, I will investigate it carefully before deciding on the crime. This colorless pollen is certainly suspicious, but it cannot prove that the mother has the intention of exterminating an heir. People deliberately distort the facts in an attempt to frame the queen mother, which is also known."

After finishing speaking, he lifted his robe, folded his palms, and said respectfully: "So I ask for an order, please ask my father to hand over this case to my son, I will definitely investigate to the end, never let a villain go, and never Wronged a good man!"

The emperor stared at him silently, as if trying to figure out his thoughts.

After a long time, I smiled and said: "Since the prince wants to investigate to the end, I can't refute your face as the prince—"

With a flick of the sleeves, everyone was left with a cold and ruthless back: "In order to prevent you from being suspected of favoritism, from now on, the status of the Zhao family will be abolished. As for the new crown princess..." The footsteps paused slightly, and the head was slightly tilted. , glanced at the prince behind him, "Choose another virtuous and stand up!"
