When Mu Tianxue came to the prison, she saw Lianyue staring blankly into the sky. Xier was crying beside her. When he saw her, he knelt and climbed to the prison door and cried to her: "Queen
Your Majesty, our princess loves the emperor so much and she really has no intention of harming the emperor. The princess knows nothing about what the eight imperial guards did. I beg the queen to show mercy and let the princess go. The princess is innocent."
Mu Tianxue looked at Lianyue who was in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said to the warden beside him: "Open the cell door."
After the warden said "yes", he took out the key and opened the cell door.
As soon as Mu Tianxue entered the cell door with her lunch box, Xi'er climbed up and knelt in front of her, kowtowing repeatedly, "Empress, the princess came to the dynasty just because she likes the emperor. There is no other purpose. Please help the empress."
Princess, this servant kowtows to you."
"Get up, I will help anyone who can." Mu Tianxue crossed Xi'er and walked to Lian Yue, sat down next to her, put the lunch box aside, turned to look at Lian Yue, and said: "What should have happened
Things have happened, even if you can't accept it, you can't change it!"
Lian Yue Huan's eyes stared blankly into the void. After a long time, she withdrew her eyes and pulled out a wry smile, "Are you here to see my joke? You want to tell me that I am responsible for all this. I
I shouldn’t have the illusion of staying with the emperor, maybe I can escape death.”
Mu Tianxue looked at Lianyue's side face. She looked much haggard and thinner in just one night. "If you think I'm here to laugh at you, then I am. But I can tell you, if you want
If you want to return to Lianyun Country, I can help you."
"Haha——" Lian Yue suddenly laughed, and she turned to look at Mu Tianxue, "I don't need your sympathy. Since I have chosen to stay in the dynasty and become the nominal concubine Chen, I have never thought about it again.
Back to Lianyun, even if Lianyun raises troops to attack the imperial court, even if I die because of this war, I am still the imperial concubine, right?"
Since her father regarded her as a pawn and did not hesitate to let her die in the dynasty, what reason did she have to return to Lianyun Kingdom?
"In this case, I can't say more if it's unnecessary." Mu Tianxue stood up and looked at the lunch box on the ground, "You and I are sympathizing with you, so I will accept this sympathy, unless you want to starve to death."
After saying that, Mu Tianxue didn't say anything more and walked out of the cell door without looking back. Just as she was about to leave, a voice came from behind, "Mu Tianxue, I hate you. Every time you appear, you make me miserable."
The happiness that is about to arrive is shattered.
Why can you allow him to pamper you in every possible way, but I have to be treated with all the cold treatment? When you are hurt, he is always with you when you are hurt, but when I am hurt, he ignores me and ignores me. In what way am I inferior to you?"
Lianyue raised her head and leaned against the stone wall, her face full of sadness and unwillingness.
Mu Tianxue stopped and did not look back, "No one else can take away your happiness, and you can't keep it if it's not yours. You are better than me in every aspect, but fate never depends on who is better than the other!
"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stopped for a moment and walked out of the prison.
"Princess, the Queen has promised to let you go back to Lianyun Kingdom, why don't you agree?" Xi'er looked at Lianyue with tears in her eyes, "Princess, if you want to stay, you will definitely die. Princess, go back to Lianyun, slave.
Go and beg the Queen."
"Shut up." Seeing Xi'er who was crying non-stop, Lianyue frowned and said, "Father has already ignored my life and death, so what's the point of going back!"
"But if the princess doesn't go back, she will -" Xi'er cried, wiping her tears, "she will die here. There is still a chance of survival when she returns to Lianyun. Prince Liancheng will definitely not just watch the princess -."
"Okay, stop talking." Lian Yue raised her hand to interrupt Xi'er, "I'm tired, I don't want to say anything, and I don't want to hear anything."
Xi'er sobbed and wiped away her tears, walked to the lunch box, squatted down, and said, "Princess, eat something and then rest!"
"No, just eat it!"
Lian Yue closed her eyes and stopped talking, recalling what Mu Tianxue said before she left.
Fate, never look at who is better than whom?
She was destined to have no fate with him, so she ended up where she is now.
Mu Tianxue left the cell and went directly to the imperial study. As soon as she arrived in front of the imperial study, Haiqi came up to her and said, "Queen, the emperor is discussing matters with several ministers in the imperial study."
Mu Tianxue nodded, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a sharp voice coming from the imperial study room: "Please come in, Queen!"
After Haiqi obeyed the order, he hurriedly said: "Queen, Your Majesty, please come in."
Mu Tianxue raised her eyebrows. Since ancient times, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. If Long Chen allowed her to enter the imperial study, she would definitely be opposed by several ministers.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the imperial study, she heard Prime Minister Han admonishing Long Chenyi, "Your Majesty, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in political affairs since ancient times. There is no precedent in our dynasty. How can the Queen participate in the affairs of the imperial court? Please take back your order."
"
Mu Tianxue walked up to Prime Minister Han and looked at him expressionlessly, and said in a cold voice: "Someone has to break the precedent. Why don't I break this precedent today?"
Prime Minister Han had a look of disdain on his face and did not take Mu Tianxue into consideration at all. He said coldly: "It is a rule left by the late emperor that the harem must not interfere with politics. As the empress, the empress should abide by her original post and must not interfere with politics.
It breaks the rules established by the late emperor."
Mu Tianxue snorted coldly, "It is natural to take the essence and the dross from the rules set by the former emperor. If the rules set by the emperor now are the rules that the future kings who inherit the dynasty will respect,
Prime Minister Han, do you think so?"
Prime Minister Han's old face was livid, and he said in a cold voice: "That's natural. The rules set by the emperor will be respected by future generations."
Mu Tianxue glanced coldly at Prime Minister Han, turned around, walked to the chair and sat down, "In that case, why should Prime Minister Han object when the emperor announces that he has entered the palace? Could it be that Prime Minister Han only respects the rules set by the late emperor and does not listen to them?
The Emperor’s order.”
For a moment, the imperial study room was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Several other ministers wanted to give advice, but were blocked by Mu Tianxue's words. They had no choice but to keep silent and wipe their sweat secretly.
When Prime Minister Han heard what Mu Tianxue said, he immediately bowed his head to Long Chenyi and said respectfully: "The emperor is the king, and the old ministers are the ministers. The old ministers obey the king and must obey the emperor's orders. However, the old ministers must not respect the lessons set by the former emperor.
"
Long Chen also picked up the tea and took a sip, and said: "I can see that Prime Minister Han is very loyal. The Queen Mother's consultation is my will. If you have any opinions, please swallow them back.
"
Several ministers below hurriedly bowed their heads and said: "I don't dare!"
Seeing that none of the courtiers objected, Long Chen also picked up a memorial on the table, looked at Mu Tianxue and said, "Come and take a look at this memorial."
