Chapter 697
Liu Xiang suddenly remembered what her mother said when she entered the palace. Ever since Princess Yongning came back from Yi Kingdom, this Chen Kingdom has become very strange.
Liu Xiang's mother is just an ordinary peasant woman in the countryside. She doesn't know what kind of changes have taken place in the court, but she keenly feels that life has become much weirder. I don't have much joy, but I can't bear my daughter to spend her whole life in a backcountry corridor. Why don't you go to see the magnificent Kyoto? When Liu Xiang left, she said such a sentence, expressing all the worries in her heart.
Now Liu Xiang understands that it is not Chen Guo, but the crown prince who is weird.
With a plop, Du Yuanxiu actually knelt down, "If His Highness refuses to visit, the concubine will just kneel here forever!"
Dongfang Xu's eyes became extremely terrifying, "Do you think this hall will listen to your arrangements?" Then a contemptuous and sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Her identity also wants to force herself! "If you want to kneel, just kneel and be happy!"
"Your Highness, the side concubine is not in good health, and the ground is cold..." The Grand Duke was startled, and he couldn't help reminding him, but he received Dongfang Xu's cold eyes, "Then you will kneel with the side concubine, don't you?" It's warm!"
After leaving such a sentence, Dongfang Xu flicked his sleeves and strode out of everyone's sight, leaving only the despairing Du Yuanxiu and the terrified Grand Duke, "Slave... obey the order."
With a shake of his knees, the Grand Duke knelt beside Du Yuanxiu.
"Your Highness...Your Highness..." Looking at the man who decided to leave, Du Yuanxiu's heart sank to the bottom of the lake. Why is His Highness so cruel? Doesn't he believe what he said?
"Your Majesty, you'd better get up quickly, the servant here is kneeling, you can go to the Empress's side quickly." The Grand Duke reminded that the Empress Empress must have a caretaker there.
"Your Highness doesn't seem to believe what I said, hurry up, let the imperial doctor report to His Highness! Make sure he goes to see the empress!"
Du Yuanxiu's tears had already flowed down uncontrollably, she stood up in embarrassment, lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed out, Liu Xiang looked at the current appearance of the graceful woman, and couldn't help frowning, concubine?As the concubine of the crown prince, she was treated so coldly. Is the woman in the harem happy?She began to doubt whether it was right or wrong for her to enter this resplendent cage.
The cold wind blew over that stern face, and Dongfang Xu's eyes were filled with a chill that no one else could see.Du Yuanxiu's voice is still in my ears, the mother is dying soon?His heart was terribly depressed, but he still couldn't convince himself, because every time he saw her, he would think of everything she had done to Yun Shu.
That was her only son's beloved woman, but she committed murder for her own sake.What is wrong with Yun Shu? She has done so many things for Chen Country, but she was betrayed at the last moment when she returned home.
Dongfang Xu couldn't forgive what the queen did, and he also understood a lot. In the heart of the queen mother, he is not the most important thing, and this country is what she values most.Since she disregarded the relationship between mother and child when she ordered someone to hunt down Yun Shu, what reason does she have to blame him now?
Moreover, Dongfang Xu knew without even thinking about what she would say if he went.
Is your behavior really absurd now?He just wanted to make himself feel better, to find some motivation to keep himself alive, that's all.He said that he killed loyal ministers in vain, those people he killed were all in one mind to kill his Shu'er, why didn't they think that Yun Shu was also innocent!Dongfang Xu didn't want to listen to any words to teach him any more. He didn't do anything wrong, and he knew it better than anyone else.
"Your Highness..." Outside the study, three imperial doctors were already waiting.
"how?"
The imperial doctors were trembling, "Your Highness, the empress's time is running out, please go down and have a look."
The aura on Dongfang Xu's body changed suddenly, "Even you all want to order this hall?!"
The imperial doctors knelt on the icy ground, "Your Highness, I don't dare, but the empress may not survive today! Your Highness, please think about the relationship between mother and child..."
"Enough! If you dare to say one more word, this hall will take your heads off!"
The imperial doctors lowered their heads in a panic. They did everything they could, but the empress... Everyone felt uncomfortable. Thinking of the suffering the empress had suffered these days, everyone couldn't bear it.
Dongfang Xu snorted coldly, he exuded the aura that strangers should not enter, there was a moment of silence outside the study, the door was slammed shut, he sat on the seat full of anger, looking at the portrait hanging on the wall.
No one could understand him, no one... Even though his heart was in great pain, he still didn't want to step into the queen's palace.
"Where is the prince? Why hasn't the prince come yet!" There was a sound of smashing and smashing in the queen's palace, and the palace people waited tremblingly, and the atmosphere was very depressed.
When Du Yuanxiu appeared at the gate of the palace alone, the queen's face instantly turned pale. She seemed to know something, and her whole body trembled, "He, he still refuses to come?"
"Mother Concubine..." Dongfang Nian huddled in a corner, he didn't dare to get close to the queen, he always felt that today's imperial grandmother is very different from usual.
Du Yuanxiu stepped in quietly, tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, "Queen Mother, Your Highness has something important to do, and he will be here in a while." Now, it would be nice if he could delay for a while.
Unexpectedly, there was a pale smile on the queen's face, she seemed to think of something, "Master Chuan Ji!"
Everyone's eyes flashed, the empress is going to send Prime Minister Ji?Nowadays, everyone knows that the relationship between His Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister is not good. If His Highness finds out, I'm afraid...
"Hurry up! Even you don't obey my orders?"
A father-in-law quickly retreated, and Du Yuanxiu stepped in with trembling legs, looking at the queen on the couch, feeling a fear that he had never felt before.
No matter how great the prince's changes are, Du Yuanxiu still feels that he is not ruthless.But it never occurred to him that he would not even look back at the queen who was critically ill.Du Yuanxiu was not afraid for himself, but for Dongfang Xu.
If a person does not recognize his relatives, then his fate will not be good.Besides, that was a man who was about to become an emperor.
The uneasiness in his heart became more and more magnified, Du Yuanxiu kept telling himself in his heart, no, His Highness will definitely show up at the last moment!He would never have the heart to watch his mother die miserably, no matter what, they were the blood relatives who gave birth to him and raised him!She couldn't help but look up at the gate of the palace, how she wished she could see the figure who turned around in the next second.
After an unknown amount of time, a man in green shirt appeared in front of them.
Under the leadership of his father-in-law, the young prime minister stepped into the palace with hasty steps. A look of disappointment could not be suppressed in Du Yuanxiu's eyes. Your Highness, is he... really so heartless?
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here..."
At this time, the queen seemed to hold her breath and raised her eyes, "Master Ji..."
Ji Jin lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down, "I see the empress." However, there was a thump in his heart. He didn't know how long he hadn't seen the empress, and now he felt like a different person at a glance. Elegant and luxurious, the most noble woman in Chen Kingdom turned into this appearance, as thin as a piece of paper, as if it would be scattered by the slightest wind.
"The empress is still resting, don't get up now."
Seeing that the queen was about to sit up, he rushed to meet her, but was caught by the woman. Her nails were deeply embedded in Ji Jin's arm, "Prime Minister, save the prince! You must save the prince!"
save?Everyone understood the meaning of the Queen's words, and Ji Jin's handsome face showed a bit of regret, "Ma'am, I'm afraid I can't do anything about this matter."
"No, only you can persuade him! You are the prime minister appointed by the former emperor with a heavy responsibility, and now only you can persuade him!" The queen seemed to want to grab the last straw, she knew that the relationship between Ji Jin and the prince was not The monarch and his ministers are so simple, and looking at the court, only he has the ability to think of a way to pull the prince out of the quagmire.
Ji Jin gave a wry smile, "Ma'am, now I can't protect myself."
Doesn't the queen know that the crown prince is now suppressing herself everywhere in the court, and the young officials promoted by him have all been dismissed for various reasons. The crown prince would rather let his official position be vacant than use the person he chose. No one dared to speak freely anymore, and the atmosphere was very tense and depressing.
Originally, there were still a few highly respected old ministers, but because of conflicts with the crown prince in the early court, the crown prince dismissed them from their official positions and allowed them to retire and return to their hometowns in advance, without giving the emperor any face.
Autocracy and domineering have now become the main tone of Chen Guo's court, and there is no right to freedom of speech.
"No, I know your ability. The late emperor once mentioned in front of this palace that if one day the Kingdom of Chen is in trouble, you can rely on Prime Minister Ji! You are the youngest prime minister in the history of the Kingdom of Chen, and no one can match you. With such a height, and you are the same age as the prince, he will always listen to your persuasion... Also, go, find the young master of the Feng family, and Liu Yunfeng, they are the best friends of the prince, they can definitely dissuade him Yes! I can't, I can't watch Chen Guo's foundation be ruined on a woman like this!"
With a cloud of tears running down the corner of her eyes, the queen beat her chest and stamped her feet, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have spared Liu Yunshu's life back then. If she had been killed earlier, what happened now wouldn't have happened!"
Ji Jin's heart skipped a beat, but she lowered her eyes and didn't speak.
The queen tightly grasped his wrist, "You must not let that witch come back! You must not let the prince see her! Prime Minister, promise me to find that witch, and then kill her! Kill her!" The queen's voice was hoarse, With endless remorse, Du Yuanxiu frowned tightly, feeling uncomfortable in every possible way. In fact, she knew that what was wrong with the Imperial Physician?It was the prince who got too deep and made too many mistakes.
