The reborn prince's wife

When Dongfang Ye arrived, many people had already arrived, but most of them were standing in the front hall, saying that the emperor had not summoned them, so they all waited outside. Seeing him coming, everyone looked at him. Somewhat strange.

"Concubine De and Lao Wu are inside, and Uncle Luo is also inside." Seeing Dongfang Ye coming, Qi Ziyan hastily pulled him to the side, and lowered his voice, "I think they are coming in a menacing way, I'm afraid they are going to join you There's one."

"Lord Luo is here?" Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that Luo Wang was determined to stand on the side of His Highness the Fifth Highness, but such a blatant posture was too arrogant.

However, he thought about it again, it was a smart move for King Luo to do this. He exposed himself and made it clear that he belonged to the faction of the fifth prince. People, no doubt, gave themselves a protection.

"Tell me, will King Luo..." This sentence, Qi Ziyan said more lightly.

In fact, they all have a consensus that neither the concubine De nor the fifth child is such a strategic person. Concubine De may be able to cover the sky with one hand in the harem, she will hide her strength and bide her time, and she is also a person who knows how to keep secrets, but this time It was clear that the incident was not a small matter like that in the harem, so they all believed that it was definitely not from the handwriting of Concubine De.

As for the fifth prince, Qi Zijie, it is even more impossible. If this fifth prince had not had a cautious mother, he would have died several times. Moreover, according to their feeling, this matter should be planned by someone who has been in the officialdom for many years. , otherwise it would not have been done so cleanly and neatly. Whether it was the matter of diverting the tiger away from the mountain or poisoning the empress, there was no clue at all. All directions point to the eldest prince, but he is actually the least likely to do such a thing.

"The emperor declares Dongfang Xiaohou, and the Third Highness will see you." The spy's voice sounded, and Dongfang Ye and Qi Ziyan strode into the room.

There were several chairs in the huge room, Concubine De and the others hadn't left yet, and the emperor didn't speak, they just sat like this.

"Concubine De said you robbed the prison, what's going on?" Emperor Ling just woke up, his voice was still a bit tired.

"It's the humble minister who is incompetent. The emperor urged the humble minister to protect His Royal Highness carefully. Unexpectedly, the people of Concubine De sent His Highness to the prison. When the humble minister arrived in the prison, His Royal Highness was already wounded and dying. " Dongfang Ye knelt down on one knee and took the initiative to accept the crime, "I have not fulfilled the emperor's entrustment, so I ask the emperor to punish me."

The corner of Qi Ziyan's mouth twitched, and he looked at Dongfang Ye expressionlessly. No wonder this guy wasn't worried at all. It's probably because he had already made a record, which made him worry for nothing.

"Prison? Why did my son go to the prison, dying? Who allowed lynching to be used in the prison?" Emperor Ling never liked to use lynching, whether it was in the palace or in the sky prison, it was his taboo.

He still remembered that when he was 16 years old, the first emperor took the queen mother to sacrifice to heaven, he was fainted and sent out of the palace. For three days in the prison, for three full days, he was hung in mid-air and beaten severely with a whip dipped in salt water to force him to slap him. At that time, he always thought that he would die in the prison every time he passed out. Even after he died, no one knew that this young man covered in welts was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ling Kingdom.

He remembered very clearly what happened afterwards. On the third day when they hung him up and beat him again, Ji Mengxian came. She led a team of guards and tied up those who tortured him. The petite woman tied him up. Holding her in his arms, tears wet her front and fell on his scarred chest. He never told her that her salty tears fell on his wound and it hurt because it was her first time. It was the first time he cried for him, and it was also the first time he knew that a girl's tears could be so beautiful and so distressing.

After he ascended the throne, he ordered that no lynching be allowed in the prison. He didn't want anyone to be framed and thrown into the prison like him, obviously almost losing his life.

"Going back to my father, it was General Yuchi Yu. When my father and the empress were unconscious, the concubine De was afraid of changes in the palace, so she summoned General Yuchi to lead the troops into the palace to protect the safety of the palace." The highest level of complaint, Just like him, it sounds like he is speaking for Concubine De, but between the lines it means the opposite.

"Presumptuous." Emperor Ling's voice was weak, but his anger and anger were very clear, "He dared to bring troops into the palace, who gave him the courage?"

"Father, General Yuchi was ordered to enter the palace." Qi Ziyan was notoriously outspoken, with his head lowered, not noticing Defei's staring gaze, he continued, "I followed the orders of Defei."

"Entering the palace by order? A joke, it's a big joke." Emperor Ling slapped the bed suddenly, and pointed at Concubine De, "Don't you want me to be poisoned and let your mother and son control the government, don't you?"

Concubine De's legs softened, and she immediately knelt on the ground and began to cry: "The concubine didn't dare, and the concubine also lost her mind. The emperor and the empress were suddenly poisoned, and the sisters in the palace were all messed up. What happened to King An Not long after that, the concubines were afraid that King An's remnants would take the opportunity to make trouble, so they asked General Yuchi to help."

Dongfang Ye glanced at Concubine De indifferently, and had to say that this woman is a big deal, and she can still refute in an orderly manner at this time, which is really not to be underestimated. Under his leadership, he should have ascended to the position of prince long ago.

"What about tomorrow? Who ordered him to be sent to prison? Dare to touch my son, it's the opposite." Although Emperor Ling was in a coma for a few days and his body was weak, his eyes were shining brightly, and he glanced at Concubine De Then, he narrowed his eyes for a moment, "You really let me down."

"The emperor's redemption, it is true that the concubine ordered Dr. Lu...to send His Royal Highness to the prison, but it was because he gave the emperor medicine that made the emperor's condition worse, so the concubine sent him to the prison in a hurry Concubine De had already burst into tears, and she defended herself while crying. This appearance was very different from her usual dignified and gentle appearance. She turned her head to look at Dongfang Ye, and said sharply, "Since the young master knows that the prince Why didn't you tell the concubines about your Highness's identity earlier, but wait... until something happens to His Royal Highness, it's clearly... that's intentional."

Just as Qi Ziyan was about to speak, Dongfang Ye suppressed him, and explained lightly: "Although I know the identity of His Royal Highness, the Emperor has not made it public, so how can I say that? His Royal Highness saved the Emperor and the Empress, how could the humble official reveal the identity of the Prince to the world?"

When he said this, Concubine De was unable to speak for a long time.
