Chapter 293: The Empress Dowager Returns to the Palace
"Become the new emperor's empress and revive the scenery of Lin Mansion." Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the palace. Chuntao and the other four people's eyes widened, and the plates with pastries in their hands fell to the ground with a "bang", their faces full of tears.
With a look of horror, before she could react, she heard the voice of the highly reborn Ninth Five Lord again, "Someone, bring them in."
The four Chuntao people were brought into the palace by the guards, and then they got a clear look at the situation in the room. His Majesty was sitting on a chair. There were many people in the palace, including concubines from the palace, several princes, and ministers from the court. Their princess
He was being escorted by several guards, with his favorite brocade handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms stuffed in his mouth. His face was a little pale, and his eyes were closed, as if he didn't want to look any more.
"I don't know that the Queen Mother and my imperial sister actually have such an idea. The Lin family is the mother clan of the Queen Mother. I have been particularly merciful about what happened back then. The crime of treason should have been punished by the nine tribes. I
But he just exiled them. And even though the Queen Mother helped commit such a big crime, I have respected her as my biological mother all these years. But until today, I don’t know that I am like this.
Treat her, but the only thing she cares about in her heart is the Lin Mansion. Good! It’s really good!"
Xia Huanyu glanced at Princess Tai'an and the four maids kneeling on the ground coldly, and said in a loud voice, "Someone, put Princess Tai'an in prison. These four maids have evil intentions and will be executed with a cane."
Liu Wen'an responded quickly and asked someone to pull him down.
Everyone in the palace looked a little unhappy, especially the queen. What Chuntao said just now was that the queen wanted revenge most for the death of the prince.
The queen raised her eyes and glanced at everyone, then turned to look at Xia Huanyu, "The Queen Mother did go too far." After a pause, she said, "It's just that what the maid said cannot be fully believed. The death of the prince,
I am indeed very sad. After all, it is the meat that fell from my ten-month pregnancy. However, I am not indifferent to right and wrong. When I was in Ningguo, the prince made a mistake in assassinating King Rui first. The death of the prince
But she has nothing to do with Prince Rui. I only hate that I have failed to teach him how to be respectful to my brothers. But over the years, there have been many princes and princesses born in the Xia Kingdom's palace, but I
I have never felt sorry for you in the slightest, and I teach everyone as if I were my own child. I cannot bear this crime."
Xia Huanyu glanced at her lightly, as if looking at a fool.
The Queen shrank back with some hesitation and stopped speaking.
Yun Shang stared at the queen for a moment, and couldn't help but become a little curious about the queen. If she said she had a scheming mind, it would be inappropriate to say such a thing at this time. If she said she didn't have a scheming mind, how could she?
She has been able to stand firm in this turbulent harem for so many years. Or is pretending to be stupid part of her scheme?
"Since the queen has said this, I will leave Prince Rui's safety to you. If anything happens to Prince Rui, I will only ask you for my condolences." Xia Huanyu said with a calm expression.
Yun Shang looked at the queen's face as if she had swallowed a fly, and couldn't help but want to clap her hands.
"Yes, I obey the order." The queen was silent for a moment and then responded quickly.
A minister who had been standing by the side stood up at this time. Yun Shang turned around and looked, it was Liu Jin, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has such thoughts, your Majesty must be on guard."
Xia Huanyu waved his hand, frowned and said, "I know this, so I sent someone to Wuling Mountain to invite the Queen Mother to return to the palace."
After saying that, he rubbed his forehead as if he was tired, stood up, and said, "Stop." Xia Huanyu stood up and walked out the door.
Seeing this, Liu Wen'an quickly shouted, "Your Majesty, take off." Then he followed Xia Huanyu out of Qianling Palace.
As soon as Xia Huanyu left, the queen followed suit. Prince Jing took Yun Shang in his arms and walked out of Qianling Palace with her towards the palace gate.
The next few days were peaceful, Yun Shang thought, probably because Xia Huanyu just ordered Luo Qingyan to work with Hua Guogong to put down the rebellion of the Ya clan. Now that the rebellion has not been put down, the previous princelings in the DPRK can only
I'm afraid that everyone is still waiting and watching, and I want to wait to see Xia Huanyu's attitude after Luo Qingyan and Hua Guogong return.
Four days later, the Queen Mother returned to the palace.
As members of the royal family and their family members, Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang also needed to pick them up. Early in the morning, the queen had already sent someone to inform them.
When Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang arrived at the palace, Xia Huanyu, the concubine, and the prince and princess were already waiting in front of the palace gate. After waiting for about half an hour, a car came out of the civil and military avenue outside the palace.
Slowly drove into the palace gate and stopped at the palace gate. Then the carriage door was opened. The four palace ladies got off first. Then, the four palace ladies lined up on both sides and stood quietly.
A hand with some wrinkles appeared at the door of the carriage. A moment later, he saw a slightly hunched figure getting out of the carriage. He put his hand on the hand of the palace maid and got off the carriage steadily.
After getting out of the car, Yun Shang got a clear look at the man's appearance. His temples were already gray and his face was stained with a few wrinkles, but his eyes showed a bit of shrewdness.
"Queen Mother." Xia Huanyu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold the Queen Mother's hand. The Queen Mother raised her eyes and glanced at him, but she just curled her lips coldly, then brushed past Xia Huanyu and walked forward.
He has a bit of a temper. Yun Shang thought to himself.
Xia Huanyu didn't care at all. He slowly withdrew his hand and followed the Queen Mother towards the palace. All the way to Qianling Palace, the Queen Mother panted slightly and sat down in the highest position above the hall, her eyes falling on
Xia Huanyu, who was standing in the palace, snorted coldly, took the water cup handed by the palace attendant, rinsed his mouth, and spit out the water. He took the tea cup again, took a sip of tea, calmed down his breath, and then said, "
The emperor is so majestic. His own imperial sister was thrown into jail just by saying so lightly."
Yun Shang couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard the Queen Mother's words. She really was a Queen Mother who had experienced a lifetime of struggle in the palace. She knew clearly that her evil thoughts had been exposed in front of Xia Huanyu, but she still looked majestic.
He looked as if Xia Huanyu had done something hugely wrong.
Yun Shang glanced at Xia Huanyu and only saw half of his profile. The winding scar was lying on that half of his face. It was a bit scary, but his expression was a bit indifferent. "Why didn't the queen ask? She has done it in Tai'an."
What a good thing."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly placed the tea cup on the plate held by the palace attendant. The lid of the tea cup made a clear sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent palace. Yun Shang thought that the Queen Mother was about to get angry, but she didn't expect it.
His gaze faintly swept across the crowd and landed on Luo Qingyan, who was beside Yun Shang, "Are you Prince Jing of Ning Kingdom?"
Before Luo Qingyan could speak, Xia Huanyu took over the topic, "That's not the case anymore. He is now just Xia Qingyan, the Rui King of Xia Kingdom."
"Oh, Prince Rui. You think highly of him, and he is nothing more than a crown prince. When Lao Qi accomplished meritorious deeds but sacrificed his body to be crowned king, the Ai family asked you to give him a title, but you just said perfunctorily,
Lao Qi is ranked seventh, so he can be called the Seventh Prince. I don’t know where this bastard came from, and you give him the word "wisdom" as soon as he comes back. I don’t know if he can live up to it. The Ai family heard that the prince was in Ningguo
, is it because he was in the sky prison? Then he died in the prison because of the fire in the sky prison?" The Queen Mother smiled coldly, and without waiting for Xia Huanyu's response, she continued, "Tai'an has a short temper, and he is also a protector of his own shortcomings.
Her beloved nephew died, so she naturally wanted revenge, but this method was a little too extreme. What was wrong with her?"
Yun Shang was once again shocked by the Queen Mother's remarks. She was silent for a long time before thinking that the Queen Mother might have ignored one thing. She ignored what she said about Princess Tai'an being accused by a maid of having an affair with her own nephew.
Moreover, the Queen Mother also planned to marry her to the new emperor.
"Mother, I know what the matter is like. My son is not willing to reveal all the dirty things in front of the family. But please don't distort the facts and favor the emperor's sister." Xia
Huanyu finally couldn't stand the Queen Mother's tyranny.
"Insolent!" The Queen Mother suddenly patted the armrest of the chair, stood up, and pointed her finger at Xia Huanyu, "What's wrong? What kind of dirty things are you talking about? What else can you do than fighting for the throne?"
What's wrong with killing your own brother with your own hands? When your mother and concubine died young, it was the Ai family that pulled you up with shit and pee. The Ai family watched you and Kun'er as brothers, supporting each other, and felt that
I am very happy, thinking that I did nothing wrong at the beginning, and thinking that if Kun'er ascends the throne as emperor one day, it will be an honor for Kun'er to have your support. But what did you do? The late emperor was seriously ill, and the Lin family wanted to support Kun'er to ascend the throne.
But you killed him with your own hands and exiled the Ai family's mother clan to that bitter cold land. Now there is no one left in the Ai family's mother clan. This is your repayment."
Xia Huanyu secretly clenched his hands in his sleeves, waved his sleeves, and said sternly, "Stand back."
Everyone looked at each other in shock and hurriedly hunched over to prepare to exit the Qianling Palace, but they heard the Queen Mother suddenly raise her voice, "Why did you ask them to retreat? Is it because you were afraid that they would know what kind of past you had? You have done everything you can.
Are you afraid that people will say it? Do you think the Ai family feels better seeing the murderer who killed the Ai family's children every day? The Ai family is not accepting their fate, it's just that the Lin family has been destroyed, and the Ai family has no ability to touch you!"
The Queen Mother roared until her voice became hoarse, but she glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, "These sons of yours haven't learned anything else, they have all learned your skills. Killing your brother to seize the throne, almost all of them are good.
Something like that.”
Xia Huanyu sneered, "So the Queen Mother is targeting the widow's son? Tai'an is their biological aunt, but you let them do unethical things. Queen Mother, how long do you think you can be wrong?"
"Until you die!" The Queen Mother snorted, turned around and sat down on the chair again, "It's a pity that the Ai family won't be able to see it anymore, so they let Tai'an go." (To be continued)
