Empress Fenghua

Chapter 266
Hua Zhong walked into the Hall of Qinzheng, Ye Congjia was full of anger, and was writing the imperial edict of abolishing the empress with a pen.Hua Zhong raised the corners of his mouth, "Does the emperor really want to abolish the empress?"

"How can such a vicious woman honor the world?" Ye Congjia looked indifferent, "I have let her go for many years because of my love for marriage, and now I can't bear to kill my mother and take away my son!"

Hua Zhong held Ye Congjia's pen, "Your Majesty, let's wait a little while. The Empress can be grounded, imprisoned, and punished, but she can't be dismissed!"

Ye Congjia snorted coldly, "Is Concubine Ai worried about Duke Zhen?"

Hua Chong smiled, "I'm afraid not only Duke Zhen, but the entire Guanlong family will go all out to turn the tide and save Queen Gu! But with Dongcheng's current situation, it's no longer possible to go through the storm!"

Ye Congjia closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "When I was King Cong, I was caught in a battle for succession, and I dreamed of being crowned the Ninth Five-Year Plan. But since I took the throne, I have never had a single day of comfort. How is the country now in a state of disgrace? Can I face the late emperor? Sometimes I think that the one who took my country is also of the Ye family's blood, otherwise how can I be reconciled? Wouldn't the country become ruined in my hands?"

Hua Zhong lowered his eyes, "Your Majesty, did you know a rumor when you first came to the throne? It is also the reason why King Yongjia rebelled now."

"My throne?" Ye Congjia snorted coldly, "If I tell my concubine that the late emperor did pass on the throne to me, can you believe it?"

Hua Zhong was taken aback, "The concubine dare not!"

"Your Majesty, Master Gu Xialing, Duke of Zhen, begs to see you!" Du Fuhai complained with a wry smile, "There are also some ministers kneeling outside the hall..."

Ye Congjia still kept the pen on the table, and made a crisp sound, "Xuan!" Ye Congjia and Hua Zhong looked at each other, tacit understanding.

Gu Xialing walked into the hall and knelt on the ground, "The old minister will meet the emperor!"

"Gu Aiqing is free!" Ye Congjia looked a little impatient.

Gu Xialing knelt on the ground and did not get up, "The old minister dare not!"

"Gu Aiqing is the elder of the three dynasties, and was even named the Lord of the Town! I inherit Zhou's rites from above, and successors from below, so why don't you dare to avoid Gu Aiqing's rites?" Ye Congjia said indifferently.

Gu Xialing raised her head and looked at Ye Congjia, "The old minister is ashamed of the emperor, the old minister is not disciplined so strictly that the empress is so disrespectful, today I am here to plead guilty, and I also ask the emperor to come down!"

Hua Zhong sneered inwardly, disrespectful?Could it be that Gu Shuangcheng just lost his appearance?
"Pleading guilty?" Ye Congjia snorted coldly, "I don't think you seem to be pleading guilty, but you seem to have led the Guanlong clan to threaten me! Do you think that my country is in danger, so you don't put me on the throne?" In your eyes?"

Gu Xialing hastily bowed down, "I don't dare! All the officials are just grateful for the empress's virtuous conduct, which benefited the world. She was personally selected by the late emperor, so they came to the Qinzheng Hall to kneel and beg for orders. The old minister abandoned the love of father and daughter and acted. The courtesies of monarchs and ministers, the case of the empress murdering Yan Shuhua, there are many doubts, it is really inappropriate to draw conclusions!"

"I saw with my own eyes that Yan Shuhua was poisoned and died in front of the queen, and she kept calling for the queen to kill her mother and seize her son. All kinds of behaviors are unmistakable." Ye Cong Jialang said, "Does Gu Aiqing still think that the queen is wronged?"

Gu Xialing said sadly, "The queen has been childless for many years, and she has indeed lost her virtue, but to make up for the debt owed to the emperor, adopting a concubine is a major matter for the country. The emperor said that he saw it with his own eyes, so why did the old minister hear that Yan Shuhua was entering Yongning Palace?" Has it been poisoned quite deeply before?"

A cold light flashed in Ye Congjia's eyes, "Gu Aiqing means that Yan Shuhua already knew that there was poison in her body? So she committed suicide to frame the queen? This statement is too far-fetched!"

"This statement is indeed far-fetched, but it is enough to show that this matter is quite strange." Gu Xianling looked at Ye Congjia with piercing eyes, "Whether the empress is unvirtuous or not, she represents the status and rights of the Guanglong clan. Didn't the latter break the hearts of the Guanlong clan?"

"Bold!" Ye Congjia jumped up, "Is Gu Aiqing threatening me?"

"I don't dare!" Gu Xialing frowned, "As the head of the country, I hope that the emperor can keep the queen alive, as the Duke of Zhen, I hope that the emperor will not depose the empress, and as the elder of the three dynasties of Dongcheng, I hope that Guan Long The clan can be convinced by the emperor, so don't hurt the hearts of loyal ministers. After all, Dongcheng can't stand any waves now!"

Ye Congjia was silent for a long time, Gu Xialing bowed her body, "The loyalty of the old minister can be seen in the sun and the moon, please think twice before acting, the old minister will leave!"

Hua Zhong raised the corners of his mouth, "Your Majesty, what Lord Zhen Guo said is not unreasonable..."

Yongning Palace.

Hua Zhong walked to the gate of Yongning Palace, Mo Jishu's back was bleak in the cold wind, Hua Zhong sighed and stepped forward.

Mo Jishu hastily bowed, "I have seen Xia Shuhua!"

"But Mo Langzhong is thinking about Empress Gu?" Hua Zhong looked at the gate of Yongning Palace, no longer the splendor of the past.

Mo Jishu smiled indifferently, "Ms. Shuhua's voice of "Mo Langzhong" reminded me of my old friend. If the old man was here, maybe I would understand Weichen's heart at this moment!" Mo Jishu looked at Hua Zhong meaningfully, his eyes full of loneliness.

Hua Zhong raised the corners of his mouth, "Mr. Mo, you and Gu Hou have embarked on the road today. In fact, there are many mistakes of mine. If I knew that it would tire you for the rest of my life, even if I was looking for a famous doctor in the world, I would never let you go." You go to Zhen Guogong's mansion to cure Gu Hou of the poison of losing his soul! If Mo Langzhong is trapped in the palace and desolate around him day and night, isn't it a waste of youth?"

Mo Jishu shook his head with a smile, "The world of mortals is rolling in it, so don't you waste your youth? The fate is here, and the fate is over. From now on, I, Mo Jishu, may be the only one who can enter the gate of Yongning Palace. a good thing."

"If you think so, it's a kind of relief. From now on, even if the world is far away, I can feel at ease!" Hua Zhong bowed slightly, "Mo Langzhong, I am deeply grateful for the kindness and kindness back then. Mo Lang has something to do, and it will be fulfilled!"

Mo Jishu helped Huazhong, but took the opportunity to stuff the medicine bag into Huazhong's hand, "Ms. Shuhua, have you ever heard of the Three Lives of Dreams? When you wake up, you feel that you don't have the magnificence of the palace, just like yellow beams." It's a dream, but it's another world. My minister resigns!"

Hua Zhong curled up the corner of his mouth, and tightly squeezed the medicine bag in his hand, "Three days, enough!"

Hua Chong walked into Yongning Palace lightly, but it still alarmed Gu Shuangcheng who was sitting on the phoenix chair. Gu Shuangcheng seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and he was no longer as radiant as before.

"I thought it would be Xiliang Wodan who came, but I didn't expect it to be Xia Shuhua!" Gu Shuangcheng put down the arm supporting the head, and looked at Huazhong wearily.

Hua Chong bowed, "But did the concubine disturb the empress?"

Gu Shuangcheng shook his head, "Your footsteps are already light enough, but now Yongning Palace is terribly quiet, how can I not hear it! I have been banned from Yongning Palace forever, I don't know how Xia Shuhua got in? "

"Actually, the emperor's order to ground the feet and not allow others to enter or leave the Yongning Palace is also a kind of protection for the empress. After all, the empress is already in decline, but the concubines headed by Xiliang Wodan are still thriving!" Hua Zhong raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Has the queen ever regretted it?"

"Regret?" Gu Shuangcheng sneered, "What regrets do you have? But I am very curious, why does the emperor favor you and let you enter Yongning Palace!"

Hua Zhong raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at Gu Shuangcheng seriously, "Did Sister Shuangcheng really forget me?"

Gu Shuangcheng's expression froze, his eyes were full of coldness, "Chong'er? Are you Chong'er?" Gu Shuangcheng laughed at himself, "No wonder I know you so well the first time I saw you, no wonder I, Gu Shuangcheng, have come to the point where I am on the verge of failure today. With you hidden, how can I be undefeated?"

Hua Zhong smiled lightly, "Chong'er, Zhong'er. I heard that the prince Zhong was named by the queen?"

"Why do we need to mention the past?" Gu Shuangcheng smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Sitting in this position has never been safe for a day, and it is always like sitting on pins and needles, but today I feel comfortable. Just taking a nap, I suddenly remembered what happened when we were in Lingshan. Recalling In the past years, I was very calm, but it is a pity that things are not easy in the world, the chrysanthemums used to be noble, but now they have become graceful peonies."

Hua Chong smiled, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, "That's good, Chong'er's thoughts were not wasted at all. Now Sister Shuangcheng is still the queen, and she can maintain her original noble temperament, which is also a good thing!"

"I can't go back!" Gu Shuangcheng looked out of the window in a daze, his eyes lost focus, "Toast the east wind with the wine, let's be calm together! I can't go back again..."

Hua Zhong bowed and said, "Chonger bid farewell to Sister Shuangcheng!" Hua Zhong turned and walked out of Yongning Palace. The formerly splendid Yongning Palace is now covered with piles of snow and dilapidated.Hua Zhong frowned, looking at the plaque in Yongning Palace, "Sister Shuangcheng, there will be no future!"

Gu Shuangcheng leaned slumped on the phoenix chair, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, holding the shining phoenix Asahi in his hand, "I would rather die with the fragrance on the branch than fall into the north wind..."
