There was an extremely loud sound in the Jinluan Hall. Qi Feng, Qi Yu and Jiu Age all knelt down in the center of the hall. They suddenly fell to their knees, leaving only Yanyan standing abruptly.
The emperor's eyes looked at her without any warmth, but there was no cold anger either. Yanyan also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."
"You plead for her, but do you know what she did behind her back?"
Yanyan raised his head and glanced at Qi Yu, who was kneeling hypocritically. Now that the situation had developed to such an extent, the emperor's decision to depose the queen was definitely inevitable. However, Yanyan still wanted to make a final effort.
He said: "Back to the emperor, I have listened to Brother Jiu's explanation. The Queen has made such an unforgivable mistake. It is reasonable for the Emperor to be angry. But no one is perfect, and no one has faults. The Queen has
As the mother of a country, if the emperor and the queen are imprisoned and locked up like this, wouldn't they be slapped in the face in front of the people of the world? Please think carefully before you act."
As soon as Yanyan said these words, the expression on the emperor's face froze. He glanced at the people kneeling in the hall, his eyes were closed heavily, and he stood with his hands behind his back, "Gao Decai, pass on my will to depose the queen.
Even if you are demoted to a nobleman, you will still live in Tianyi Palace. Without my will, you will not be able to take a step forward."
Gao Decai immediately bowed and retreated.
In this way, Tianyi Palace became a veritable cold palace. Several people exited from Jinluan Palace. Qi Yi glanced at Yan Yan gratefully, turned around and walked towards Tianyi Palace. Qi Yu glanced at her with an indifferent expression.
, also left.
Yan Yan sighed softly, and her hand was held tightly by Qi Feng. She weakly raised the corners of her mouth and lamented the danger in the palace. Yesterday's scenery had fallen into ruin in an instant. The palace is really a dangerous and dangerous place for people's hearts.
Surrounded.
"Seventh Brother, let's go see Second Brother." Ninth Brother said in a deep voice from the side.
Qi Feng nodded, holding Yan Yan's hand and walking towards Tianyi Palace. As if he could see the worry in her heart, he squeezed her hand a little harder.
The Queen has returned to the Tianyi Palace. The Tianyi Palace, which was once so prosperous before, has not seen a single palace maid yet. The entire Tianyi Palace is in an instant depression. As Yanyan approached the Tianyi Palace, he saw that the Queen was as gloomy as a shrew.
Sitting in a hall that was different from the past, the prince stood aside in silence.
Seeing the arrival of Yan Yan and the others, the Queen suddenly glared at them with resentful eyes. When she saw Yan Yan, her eyes were full of hatred and she shouted angrily: "Are you here to watch the fun? Get out of here.
"
"Mother!" Qi Yi shouted with a frown, but looked at Yan Yan, as if he was apologizing for his mother.
The queen stood up suddenly, ignored Qi Yi, and glared at Yanyan and the others even more angrily, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Get out of here, Xiaochuanzi, and drive people away for me."
After saying this, the whole hall fell silent. The queen suddenly turned around and saw the figure of Chuan Yunde. Qi Yi looked at his mother heartbrokenly and helped her sit down on her seat.
Only then did the queen realize that she had truly been demoted from the position of queen to a nobleman, and Tianyi Palace was now different from the past and had become a real cold palace.
Just as Yanyan was thinking about talking, a burst of conversation suddenly came from outside, from far to near.
"Yunxiu, why is there not a single maid in Tianyi Palace?"
"Back to your Majesty, now that the Tianyi Palace has been demoted to a cold palace by the emperor, which palace maid would dare to live here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Liu appeared in front of everyone with smiles and several palace maids. Yan Yan secretly shouted in his heart that another verbal battle was about to begin.
The queen suddenly stood up from her seat, staring ferociously at Concubine Liu who walked in slowly, her fingers trembling into fists. Concubine Liu chuckled softly, "Sister, you don't have to pay such a big courtesy when you see me coming.
Even if you are no longer the queen, but you entered the palace earlier than me, my sister still has to call you sister."
"Concubine Liu, you are so impudent, how dare you be so rude in front of me." The queen's face turned pale and she shouted in a strong voice.
"Discourteous? It's my sister who is rude. I call you sister because my sister entered the palace earlier than me. Don't forget to toast me and eat the fine wine." Concubine Liu looked at the empress and yelled.
, the smile on his face became even deeper.
The queen was so angry that her whole body trembled. Yan Yan felt a gust of wind passing by. The queen raised her hand to slap Concubine Liu, but Concubine Liu reached out to block it. She calmly warned, "Sister, please maintain your identity." After saying this, she slapped the queen's hand.
The hand was light but strong and he threw it away like a cup.
Qi Yi reached out to pull the queen back to her seat, but the queen threw her hand away.
"Yunxiu, I want to ask you, who is the eldest, the noble concubine or the noble lady?" Concubine Liu suddenly asked the maid next to her softly.
The maid named Yunxiu smiled and said: "The queen is joking, of course she is the noble concubine."
Concubine Liu laughed softly, but her voice was particularly harsh in the hall, "Then when a nobleman sees a noble concubine, should he also bow to her?"
"When you return to your Majesty, of course you must salute."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Liu looked at the Queen with a smile. Everyone knew that Concubine Liu's purpose of coming to Tianyi Palace was obvious. Now that the Queen was demoted to a seventh-rank noble, those concubines who had been bullied by the Queen would of course take the opportunity to show off their power.
Yan Yan watched with bated breath, only to see that the Queen's fingers had dug deeply into the palm of her hand, and her whole body was trembling. Just when the Queen was about to salute, Concubine Liu suddenly laughed, "No, because you entered the palace earlier than me."
Your Majesty, I still have to call you my sister, so I’ll excuse you."
The queen kept trembling and stared at Concubine Liu, silent and pursed her lips stiffly.
"Yunxiu, let's go. Now Tianyi Palace has become an unlucky place. It's better not to come here in the future." Concubine Liu chuckled lightly and left with the maids.
After they left, the queen's emotions finally broke out and she threw everything on the table to the ground, making a sudden crash and shattering sound.
"Have you seen that your mother who lost her position was bullied by such a bitch? If you don't stand up for me, you are ready to take care of your mother." The queen shouted at Qi Yi.
Yan Yan heard a fleeting sigh, and saw Qi Yi frowning, "Mother, please go back to your room and rest first. I will arrange for a few palace ladies to come and serve you later."
The queen was obviously dissatisfied with his answer, "What's your attitude? Did you hear what I said?"
Qi Yi just frowned and said nothing. The queen, perhaps tired, let him support her and walked towards the room. Yan Yan looked at Qi Yi's leaving figure, feeling so helpless.
"It's really cruel in the palace." Yan Yan sighed.
Qi Feng looked down at her, and held her hand tighter, so tight that Yanyan raised her head in pain, and then he said with satisfaction: "I will not let you be wronged like this."
He nodded feebly, plans could never keep up with changes. Who would have known that the queen who enjoyed such dignity yesterday would be so defeated today.
Brother Jiu seemed to have seen the sigh in her eyes, and said firmly: "Yanyan, don't worry, as long as we are here, you will not be harmed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yi walked out of the queen's room. Brother Jiu greeted him, patted his shoulder, moved his mouth, but said nothing in the end.
After standing in silence for a while, they left Tianyi Palace. Qi Feng sent Yan Yan back to Su Yixuan, while Brother Jiu accompanied Qi Yi back to Moyang Palace.
Qi Feng held Yan Yan's hand tightly along the way, and both of them were silent. When they were about to reach Su Yixuan, Qi Feng stopped and said, "I promise you, as long as I am here, there will be no problem."
Let you get hurt a little bit more."
Yanyan nodded, looked at his leaving figure, and finally sighed silently.
After the queen was deposed, the concubines in the palace began a new round of competition for favor. Everyone coveted the position of the queen. The most active one in the palace was Concubine Liu. In her opinion, the queen's dethronement was the most promising.
She was the one who became the queen. But why would the other concubines want to give up this opportunity? No matter how small their hope was, they would still have to give it a try. Only a few concubines who had never even seen the emperor looked at all this sadly.
Yanyan was walking to Moyang Palace, and he happened to bump into Concubine Liu on the way, so he had to bow. Concubine Liu was busy trying to please the emperor, so she ignored her and went straight to the Emperor's Qianqing Palace.
Looking at her back, Yan Yan shook his head. He had long heard rumors in the palace that Concubine Liu would take Ningshen Tang to Qianqing Palace every day when the emperor was about to go to court. It was no wonder that it was just when the emperor was about to go to court.
She would walk to Qianqing Palace in such a hurry. However, so what if she wanted to please the emperor. Things in the palace were constantly changing, and the queen was a typical example.
Yan Yan calmed down and turned around to walk towards Moyang Palace. Now that the queen was deposed, Qi Yi's position as prince was also in jeopardy. Earlier, she had heard from the eunuchs and maids in the palace that some people in the palace were originally standing with the queen.
The ministers on both sides turned against each other and made a big fuss about the queen.
Qi Yi has not gone to court in the past few days, and the emperor has allowed him to stay in Moyang Palace.
As soon as she walked into Moyang Palace, the palace was also deserted. The queen's dethronement also affected Qi Yi, but it was not as obvious as in Tianyi Palace. Those palace maids who had once imagined how to win Qi Yi's heart saw the prince's downfall and left.
I went some, but some palace ladies still stayed in Moyang Palace.
Yan Yan was led by a palace maid to the backyard. Before she reached the backyard, she heard a sad song playing in her ears. The palace maid who took her there told Yan Yan that Qi Yi had almost never reached the backyard in the past few days.
He didn't eat anything, but kept playing the piano. When the strings were broken, he would pick them up and continue playing. No matter how they tried to persuade him, Qi Yi would not stop playing until late at night every day, and would get up early in the morning to play again.
I have been feeling very haggard for several days.
Yanyan ordered the palace maid to retreat and slowly walked towards the pavilion. His back looked desolate and lonely in the cold wind, his clothes were dancing wildly in the wind, and his hair was flying messily.
"Qi Yi!" Yan Yan called softly, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. His hands were weakly placed on the strings, and his back was stiff.
