The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1308
Jinxiu stopped the third prince on the way, turned her head inadvertently, and saw that the side of Lenggong was in flames, and thick smoke shrouded the sky over the northwest corner like a dark cloud. She suddenly had a bad feeling, so she rushed over quickly, but Unexpectedly, Ye Hanyu would be so frenzied that she wanted to drag the queen to die together.

Jinxiu kicked away the fallen and burned messy beams in the house, and carefully covered Qingchen to leave, but Ye Hanyu rushed up, holding on to the Queen's sleeve and refusing to let go. It was about to collapse, Jinxiu turned around in a rage and kicked Ye Hanyu's stomach fiercely.

Ye Hanyu was originally a weak person, so she couldn't stand her kick, she only felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and then her whole body flew back uncontrollably, fell to the ground with a "bang", and her body hit the burning On the bed, after the severe burning pain in his back, his clothes and hair also burned quickly.

She was frightened and went crazy and got up desperately, groped in the fireworks where no one could be seen half a step away, giggled recklessly and said: "Wanyi, don't go, you can't go, I'll leave if you go!" What about Heng'er, I hate you, I hate all of you, even Heng'er betrayed me, all of you are ruthless devils, your hearts are cold and emotionless, your majesty, my concubine Here, I have been waiting for you here for so long, why don't you come to see my concubine, you are so cruel..."

Jinxiu ignored her, knowing that such an incoherent Yu Changzai was completely insane, she protected the queen and went out quickly, Qingchen was choked by the smoke and coughed violently for a while, and only found out when she regained her composure. However, Mother Zhao's body was actually lying under the sycamore tree in the courtyard.

She turned her head and was about to order General Jinxiu to find a way to rescue Yu Changzai from the sea of ​​fire, but she heard a loud bang, the roof that was already in disrepair couldn't stand the fire, and even part of the walls collapsed together.

Qingchen stood there in a daze, not knowing why in his heart, as if someone had pulled him violently, a kind of desolate pain spread.What Ye Hanyu said was right, she was lying to her, and Heng'er did not betray her, but compared to Ye Hanyu's viciousness in wanting her to be buried in the sea of ​​flames, what is this little revenge of hers?
Jinxiu saw the sadness flashing in her eyes, she lowered her eyes slightly, but saw that there were still tiny flames burning on her phoenix robe, she hurriedly took off her own clothes, and vigorously slapped the queen's skirt, Although the fire was extinguished, a large area of ​​the exquisite and luxurious clothes was scorched.

Jinxiu said angrily: "Mother, Yuchang is treating you like this, is it possible that you still feel pity and want to save her?"

"Mother Zhao is dead. She is the only person who can testify that Concubine Ning framed me, but now that she is dead too, what can I do to convict Concubine Ning?" Qingchen knew, perhaps what she had just said to Ye Hanyu Those words were misleading. If Concubine Ning knew nothing about Heng'er secretly taking care of Yu Changzai, then how could she use Ye Hanyu's love to set up this poisonous plan?It's just that it's unknown whether Heng'er was really involved.People's hearts are unpredictable, and she has no power to trust anyone anymore.

Qinxue was knocked unconscious by Jingshu and locked in a small side room in the backyard. Jinxiu woke her up and helped her back to the palace together when she saw that she was fine.After Jingshu saw Ye Hanyu buried in the flames, he hung himself without hesitation.She knew that the queen would definitely blame her, and more importantly, she was helpless in this palace, and death seemed to be a better relief than being tortured in the dark in the clothes bureau for the rest of her life.

Qingchen still told the emperor about Ye Hanyu's death. Originally, the sinner in the cold palace died as well. If such a thing happened in normal times, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would directly pull it out and find a random place to bury it. Even the queen didn't have to report it.But because of the relationship between the emperor and the Ye family, she didn't know whether the emperor still had grace, so she reported it truthfully.

After listening to Xiao Jun, she looked out of the window in silence for a long time without saying a word, and finally she just sighed and said: "She is confused, since she is dead, I can't convict her again, the queen will hand it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Let's do it. As for the Ye family, after all, Tai Tuo treated me well, and I don't want to implicate the Ye clan anymore, so let's stop here."

Qingchen didn't say anything, such a result was expected, the emperor had a few people in his heart that he wanted to cherish, and Taifu Ye was one of the few.Such a person cannot be killed. First, he has a bad reputation with the emperor. Second, Taifu Ye has devoted himself to the imperial court for decades. There is hard work without merit. To be slaughtered because of the dispute in the emperor's backyard seems to be too much for the emperor. Cold-blooded.

She gently reminded: "Your Majesty, Taifu Ye is getting old. If he hears about Yu Chang's presence, he may not be able to withstand such a blow. If he has no face to stand in front of others, why not let him go back to his hometown to retire? As for Yu Chang Chang Zai elder brother, out of filial piety, can the emperor grant him a foreign post and let him return to his hometown to serve the court, so that we can get the best of both worlds."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, knowing that the empress had resentment in her heart. If it were someone else's crime of intending to murder the empress, the whole family would be exiled, and the family would be confiscated and imprisoned.And she just dismissed Mr. Ye from his official position and asked him to return to his hometown for the elderly, which is already a big concession.

But in this way, Ye Mingqin will also be relegated to become a local official. This is a very talented young man who has always been valued by the emperor. Xiao Jun is somewhat reluctant to be so overqualified, but seeing the calm eyes of the queen, he also Knowing that this is a decision she made after careful consideration, what she has decided has always followed her word.If he insisted on not agreeing, the queen would have a grudge, and the Ye family would suffer a lot sooner or later. Instead of this, it would be better to let her express the anger in her heart, so as to preserve the Ye family.

The emperor hooked the corners of his mouth, and that faint smile seemed a bit helpless and regretful, but the empress had always done things in such a way that people couldn't find any mistakes. She made him feel sorry for her retreat, so this seemingly compassionate punishment made him He also had no reason to dismiss it.

Xiao Jun nodded, agreeing, "That's fine, as long as you're fine."

Qingchen discussed with him again: "Your Majesty, when the palace was broken, the concubines were heartbroken and seriously ill and had no desire to survive. It was Yunxi who took care of the concubines day and night, so that the concubines could return to the emperor's side." Chenqie has never had the opportunity to repay her. Now that Jing'er comes to live in the capital, it is a pity that he has no father or mother. Chenqie heard that he lived in the other garden of the palace and fell ill because of acclimatization. There are Yixuan and Jinghan Growing up beside the concubine, looking at them, the concubine feels more and more pitiful for Jing'er. Can the emperor allow the concubine to take him to the palace for recuperation, and let him live with the princes in the future?"
