Above the main hall, all the courtiers knelt on the ground in unison, and Yi sat on the dragon chair with a livid face. Although he was high up, who could understand the helplessness and loneliness he felt at this moment? How many people dreamed of this seat, but at this moment he was
How much do you want to escape? If he can't even protect his beloved, what the emperor has done is too sad...
"I have made up my mind. Before this matter is investigated, I don't want to hear any more rumors!" Yi said with a solemn face and could not refuse. The majesty in his words was enough to make the kneeling ministers of His Highness come back again.
Shake for a while.
"emperor……"
"No need to say more! Retreat from the court!" Looking at the old minister who wanted to express his opinion again, Yi decisively interrupted them, flicked his long sleeves, and walked away with a quick stride...
As soon as Yi walked to the imperial study room, ready to see Concubine Wan, Eunuch Li stopped her and said that the Queen Mother had called her to Yanshou Palace. Yi sighed in his heart, that's all! What is supposed to come will always come.
As soon as Yi Ren walked into the Yanshou Palace, before he could salute, the Empress Dowager scolded her for a while, but Yi Ren stood aside quietly without saying a word. After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Yi Ren spoke softly: "Mother, Meng'er was framed.
, I also ask the queen mother to give me some time, I will definitely be able to find out the real culprit!"
"Oh, my dear, you have disappointed the Aijia so much!" The Queen Mother shook her head gently and continued: "The Aijia also likes Meng'er very much, but so what if she was framed? After all, people are
She pushed it down personally, and the Ai family couldn't accept it! Your Majesty, as the king of a country, how can you be so affectionate as a son and daughter? What is the emperor's most taboo? Have you forgotten it? "
"Mother..." Yi lowered his head, how could he not know? It's just that he had already been deeply involved in it and couldn't extricate himself...
The Queen Mother gently wiped her tears and continued: "Your Majesty, my mother is not an unreasonable person, but whenever the Ai family thinks of Meng'er, they will think of the Ai family's unborn grandson. In this matter, the Emperor must not act arbitrarily."
, Since the emperor ascended the throne, although it is not a peaceful and prosperous time, the country and the people are peaceful. The Ai family has always believed that the emperor is a wise king, so how can they be confused on this matter? "
Yi stopped talking. After all, he was disappointing. After all, he was also made of flesh and blood. How could he watch his beloved get hurt? The Queen Mother shook her head in despair, "Could it be that the emperor would rather have a beauty than a country?"
"Empress, I know what to do! Queen Mother, please trust me!" After Yi said this, he looked out the window, his eyes had never been more confused, a trace of distress flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother, and not only did two more words slip out
Xing Qing burst into tears, "Your Majesty, don't bear a lifetime of infamy for the sake of your children's love!" I ask, which mother in the world is willing to see her child being reviled by everyone? Being infamy for thousands of years?
"Mother, please go to bed early. I'll take my leave!" Yi didn't respond any more. After saluting, he walked out of the door quickly. He couldn't bear to see the desperate and sad expression on the Queen Mother's face. Shouldn't he be a son who makes the Queen Mother proud?
When his mother entered the palace as a commoner girl, she went through many hardships to raise him, and he... he encountered many conspiracies and overcame many difficulties before he could sit on the throne? Whether he wants it or not, it will
It is a responsibility that cannot be shied away from.
Yi walked all the way back to the palace. When he raised his eyes, he arrived at the door of Fengxia Palace. How could he come here? Eunuch Li cautiously approached and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going?
Fengxia Palace?" He didn't want to be hit by a gun at this time, but he felt that he needed to remind him that it might not be the right time to go to Fengxia Palace now?
Yi ignored it and just stared blankly at the swaying lights inside and the figure sitting quietly by the window, lonely and sad. How much should she blame herself now? How could she accept this fact if she is so kind?
?
Yi finally took a step forward, "Your Majesty..." Seeing Yi going in, Eunuch Li didn't care that he would be unhappy, so he just shouted. Yi's footsteps stopped abruptly, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
, as if he had made a great determination, he said softly: "Go back to the palace!" After that, he turned and walked towards Xuanyang Palace.
Eunuch Li hurriedly followed him, fearing that his master would change his mind again. Although Yi felt miserable in his heart, he had to do it as a last resort. It was indeed inconvenient to see her now. He felt depressed as he had never felt before, and the Queen Mother kept lingering in his mind.
If so, what should he do? How can he get the best of both worlds? He sighed softly in his heart, he is really so useless?
"Your Majesty..." She was sitting in front of the window, but she heard Yao'er's voice behind her, choking, "What's wrong?" She turned around slightly, only to see Yao'er's eyes were red, who bullied her again?
?
"Just now...the emperor came here just now..." Yao'er looked at me and spoke carefully, but there was a hint of grievance in her tone.
Hiding her surprise, she turned around and looked out the window without saying a word. I knew she must have another sentence, "But she didn't come in... she just stood at the door for a while... and then went back."
As expected, he is in trouble now, right? So what if he comes in? I have no face to see him again, but I hope he punishes me, at least I won't blame myself so much, and he...
...It won’t be so difficult, right? Gently go to another window, which is facing the direction of Xuanyang Palace. Looking from a distance, there is a familiar figure standing quietly in the distance, buried in the night.
It's hard to see clearly, but you can feel the sadness radiating from his body... The familiar moon-white robe is hidden in the shadows, making him look even more lonely...
Finally I couldn't bear to look anymore, I could feel his eyes fixed on me, I turned away, turned around slightly and walked away from the window, saying softly: "Yao'er, close the window! It's a little cold..."
"Yes!" Yao'er was a little confused, but she still walked over and closed the window gently, thinking that I was really cold, and turned the fire up a little more...
"It's getting late, I want to rest..." After Yao'er waited for me to go to bed, she gently closed the door and backed out, looking at the closed window. Maybe this is the lifelong barrier between me and him?
The early morning sunlight shone into the room, and I sat up lightly. After another night of sleeplessness, Yao'er walked in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived!" I was shocked, thinking of the desperate and sad look on the Queen Mother's face, and my heart
His head felt like a thousand-jin boulder was weighing on him, so heavy that it was difficult to breathe...
When I came to the main hall, I saw the Queen Mother sitting on the throne. She hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "See the Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother did not say anything, but just glanced at me lightly. After not seeing me for a few days, the Queen Mother looked much older, and her temples
I can already see strands of white hair, and I feel a little pain in my heart...
"Everyone, please step aside! The Ai family has something to discuss with Concubine Shu!" The Queen Mother waved her hand feebly, and a group of palace maids withdrew obediently. The Queen Mother walked gently to me, stretched out her hand to help me up, and said softly: "Meng
