Fortunately, fortunately, the queen was so angry just now that the ministers in the court were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and did not notice the queen's nervous movements at this moment.
After those prime ministers tried to persuade them many times to no avail, they involuntarily glanced in the direction of Song Ye, hoping that the old prime minister could say a few words of justice. But the old prime minister Song, who had always been upright and only thought about the people,
This time, they chose to remain silent and stand quietly below. In desperation, they had no choice but to shut their mouths and acquiesce to the Queen's behavior.
"Let this matter end here. I don't want to hear any more gossip. Retreat from the court!"
After saying that, the queen left, and her every move was still domineering. After such a fuss today, the queen was not even in the mood to listen to other matters reported by the ministers.
Although the queen had been fully prepared mentally before, she knew that it would not be easy to deal with these veterans, but she did not expect these people to be so stubborn. Today's morning court looked more like a private morning market.
The people there were chattering and noisy, and they were totally indifferent. Fortunately, all this has finally come to an end.
The most indispensable thing in the world is people who gossip. After retiring from the court, those gossiping ministers have even more content to chat with.
Although they did not get the answer they wanted in the court today, it was good that they finally caught the Queen's hand. In the future, they would like to see how this woman can give orders to them?
This court has always been like this. Since you sit on the commanding heights of power, you must be prepared to be watched by everyone, and you must even be prepared to become a puppet.
Moreover, in the court, the standards for you will not be lowered just because you are a woman. It is precisely because the queen is a female generation, so the ministers have extremely strict requirements for her, and they will keep their eyes open to see the queen.
In everything they did, they wished they could find more faults with the queen, so that they wouldn't have to grovel and listen to a woman giving orders.
In the court, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at the queen, and her mistakes will be infinitely magnified. That kind of pressure is really not something that ordinary people can bear, but fortunately, the empress has been persevering, because she believes that one day your majesty will
She will definitely wake up, and Your Majesty will definitely understand her.

"My noble Queen, why don't you take action quickly? Are you going to let them continue to persecute you?"
After leaving the court, Ye Lengchan, who had been standing behind the scenes in the lobby, walked out leisurely. These days, Ye Lengchan has been secretly hiding behind the scenes, monitoring every move of the Queen. Without Bei Mingshuo, Ye Lengchan
Cicada and the others are acting more unscrupulously.
In today's court situation, it is not so much the queen who controls the court, but rather the final voting power in the court, which has now indirectly fallen into their hands. The queen, to be fair, is still the mother of a country, saying
It's more straightforward and has become a puppet on strings.
Moreover, the Queen's own situation is getting worse and worse. The longer Bei Mingshuo is in coma, the crazier Ye Lengchan and the others' actions become. Not only for the Queen, but also for some matters in the court, their hands have been stretched out.
Controlling all sides of the Hualing Kingdom and dominating the south of the Yangtze River is just the beginning. "You still have the nerve to say, if you hadn't acted without knowing the importance of your actions, how could I have been in such an embarrassing situation?"
The most difficult thing among them is the queen, she is the one caught in the middle.
As long as His Majesty cannot wake up, the Queen will have no end in sight. She not only has to deal with the matters in the court, but also the intrigues in the world.
"Empress, what are you talking about? We are just grasshoppers on a rope. Besides, there is no room for change in this matter. As long as the Empress steps up her actions, I think those people will dare to say something in the future.
What?"
After hearing the queen's words of complaint, Ye Lengchan came closer and said something coldly to the queen. That voice made people shudder.
"I advise your Majesty not to hesitate any longer. You'd better seize this opportunity. Your Majesty can become a puppet now. When the power is really in your hands, those people will have to shut up. My Majesty, you can
Don’t let down our expectations of you!”
Ye Lengchan said step by step, encouraging the Queen little by little.
"I know, please step back."
The queen spoke leisurely, and seeing that the queen's attitude was quite sincere, Ye Lengchan did not embarrass her any more and simply left.
After he left, the queen raised her head slightly and closed her eyes helplessly. At this moment, she really didn't want to hear another word from Ye Lengchan.
No matter how difficult it is, the queen still has to persevere, and the only belief that supports her is Bei Mingshuo. In fact, she herself can't see her own heart clearly, and she doesn't know why she is messy again and again.
For once, I forgot my original intention.
The queen now only knows that as long as Bei Mingshuo is still there and as long as His Majesty has not recovered, the queen must persevere. The centuries-old foundation of Hualing Kingdom must not be destroyed in one day.
Only in the dead of night, when the Queen is with His Majesty, can she take off her heavy disguise and show her truest self.
Becoming the mother of a country and being admired by thousands of people, the queen's current status is naturally what thousands of women dream of. It was indeed what she dreamed of at the beginning. However, at this moment, she doesn't care about it. She doesn't want much.
She just wants to be a simple wife.
It's a pity that everything can't go back now. When did their estrangement begin? Did it start when Bei Mingchen grew up? Did it start when Concubine Lan was killed? Did it start when the third prince was born? Or did it start when Bei Mingchen grew up?
Did they get married? Or was their meeting wrong?
The queen herself couldn't explain clearly, but she knew that she had no regrets.
"Your Majesty, please wake up quickly. I'm really tired these days."
At this moment, the queen was like a young girl, crawling beside Bei Mingshuo's bed, chatting with him in a low voice there. These days, in the dead of night, she couldn't help but think back to those days.
I was chatting with the emperor about some things.
Maybe only at this moment, the emperor would lie there quietly, stay by her side, and listen to her tell her heartfelt thoughts over the years.
…………
The morning meeting the next day went on as usual, except that the topics they talked about today were more intense than the previous days.
Everyone has not seen His Majesty for more than ten days in a row, and even the ministers gradually began to feel that His Majesty's health was really failing.
At that time, they just thought that His Majesty might be terminally ill, and the Queen had not announced His Majesty's condition to the public just because she was afraid that some villains would take advantage of this matter and cause turmoil in the country.
However, there is no airtight wall in this world. The longer things drag on, the greater the risk of exposure. After all, paper cannot contain fire. Therefore, they must be more proactive and must not let villains take advantage of the loopholes.
"Now that the emperor is ill, the country cannot be without a king for a day. It is necessary to appoint a prince early to reassure the people."
Those people from the Blood Wolf Sect, who had been installed in the palace for a long time, were the first to put forward their opinions in the court, and then some people followed suit.
"Yes, Your Majesty, what's going on now? If we don't appoint a prince earlier, I'm afraid there will be turmoil in the future, but don't let the evil villain take advantage of us."
"..."
"..."
The ministers in the court began to discuss it again. Recently, the topic that should not be mentioned the most is the prince. Once it is brought up, they will discuss it endlessly, covering everything.
"Everyone, please be patient and don't be impatient. Please be patient and don't be impatient."
After chattering for a while, the Queen ordered everyone to stop. What's the point of making noise?
"Seeing that His Majesty's body is getting worse day by day, we still need to establish a prince as soon as possible. The country cannot live without a king for a day."
After everyone calmed down, the queen quietly said the next thing.
"Empress, the old ministers know that you are working on state affairs, but..." Finally, Prime Minister Xie was about to express his concerns. The crown prince cannot play with it. But before he could finish his words, the Empress hit him back again.
.
"How can a group of dragons be without a leader? As a minister, you must be good, assist the emperor, assist the prince well, and put the country first and the people first in everything you do."
The queen patted the dragon chair angrily and said, and the ministers instantly fell silent. After saying this, the queen glanced down again and gave the people of the Blood Wolf Sect a hint, and those people began to echo her words.
"Yes, instead of arguing endlessly here, it is better to consider who is more suitable to be the pillar of the country."
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that it was quite reasonable. Simply, they were not thinking about whether to establish the crown prince or not, but seriously thought about who should be appointed as the crown prince.
…………
After the prime ministers murmured quietly for a while, someone took the lead in expressing his own suggestions.
"The third prince is the son of the empress and the eldest son of the emperor. Moreover, the third prince has talents that can be used in culture, Taoism and martial arts. The country of Hualing should be handed over to the hands of the third prince."
A prime minister walked into the middle and spoke to the queen respectfully. After speaking, he smiled flatteringly at the queen.
"The Prime Minister has given me a reward."
These words play into the Queen's wish. However, the Queen still has to have the polite words and cannot fully reveal her ambitions. The third prince can only be promoted to the position of Prince by these ministers and let him be crowned Prince.
Be firm, otherwise there will always be many people who are not convinced.
"Your Majesty, you are humble. It is a great blessing for the Hualing Kingdom to have a talent like the Third Prince." Another flatterer followed.
