After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

The night was dark, and the lights in Yuqian Palace were brightly lit.

"Your Majesty." Chen Hai walked into the palace and bowed to report, "Someone from Renshou Palace has sent word that the Queen Mother is in poor health. Would Your Majesty want to go over and take a look?"

His Majesty the Emperor was sitting behind the Dragon Case reviewing the memorial. Hearing this, he said calmly: "Have you summoned the imperial physician to take a look?"

"Already seen it."

"What did the doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor said that he was emotionally unstable, depressed in his heart, and out of breath..." Chen Hai's voice became smaller and smaller, and he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, "Actually, the emperor also knows the reason. Anyway, I'd better go over and take a look."

The emperor closed the book he was reading and put it aside casually, "Is there anything going on outside today?"

"No. All the mansions are very quiet."

"I'm afraid they will all become frightened birds." The emperor smiled coldly, "There is not even a single person who can stand up in this huge court. It shows how corrupt my ministers are."

Even if corrupt officials were rampant and treacherous ministers were in power throughout the dynasties, there were always one or two loyal and upright officials who stuck to their hearts, were loyal to the emperor, and cared about the people. However, looking at Xiqi now, there is not even a single honest official in the civil and military dynasties.

Chen Hai said respectfully: "There must be honest officials, but Her Royal Highness the Princess's thunderous tactics make people feel wary. It is human nature for ministers to be uneasy."

The emperor said nothing.

Thunderous means?

Now Xiqi needs thunderous methods like Qinghuang, otherwise who can cure these corrupt officials from aristocratic families who have inflated their appetites?

The emperor was silent for a moment: "There was no movement last night?"

Chen Haidao: "I heard that the princes of the clan went to the eldest princess's house to apologize last night, but Her Royal Highness went to bed early at night, so the princes did not see her."

"It's right not to see you." The emperor picked up the tea and took a sip, "Prince Rong and the others are elders after all. They cannot be allowed to lower themselves to Qinghuang. However, this matter is serious and cannot be treated lightly. We must give them something." It’s just a lesson.”

Not seeing him will make them feel unsure, and they will not dare to make such a mistake next time.

"Your Majesty is right." Chen Hai chuckled, "Her Royal Highness the Princess must also think so."

The emperor sighed and stood up: "Show me the Renshou Palace."

"yes."

Arriving at Renshou Palace, the emperor got down from the imperial carriage and walked into the Queen Mother's palace. He raised his hands and dismissed the palace servants who were kneeling on the floor, leaving only Chen Hai waiting on the side.

Walking into the inner hall, he saw the Queen Mother lying on her side on a soft brocade couch, taking a nap. The emperor paid his respects, walked to the opposite side of the brocade couch and sat down: "Is the Queen Mother's health feeling better?"

The Queen Mother seemed a little tired and looked gloomy. It took a while before she opened her eyes and said nonchalantly: "It's rare that the Emperor still remembers to care about the health of the Ai family."

"What did the Queen Mother say?" The emperor sighed, "I have been busy with government affairs these two days. I thought that with the Queen and Concubine Duan taking care of me, and the imperial doctor on call, the Queen Mother's body should be fine, so I It’s coming less often.”

The Queen Mother did not speak for a while, her eyes were slightly closed, and her expression was not good.

The emperor sat drinking tea and was silent for a long time before he said calmly: "There have been a lot of things happening in the palace recently, and there are some messy rumors outside. I asked them not to spread them to the Queen Mother, so as not to affect her mood. Queen Mother, please take care of her body." important."

"Rumors?" The Queen Mother smiled coldly, "Is it a rumor that Tianyin was demoted to the county king? Is it a rumor that the imperial concubine was demoted to Zhaoyi? Or is it a rumor that Jinzhi was punished in court?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

The Queen Mother sat up straight, her voice still gloomy and calm: "Aijia is old, and she really didn't want to pay attention to the trivial things outside, but the emperor should know that the most caring person in the harem is the imperial concubine, and Aijia knows what other people are thinking. , How many of them treat the Aijia sincerely?"

The emperor secretly thought, is the imperial concubine being considerate? That's wolfish ambition.

"Tian Yin has always been my favorite grandson. You quietly let him get beaten up and demoted him to the county king. What are you doing?" The Queen Mother's face darkened, "Let him completely end the dispute." Chu’s thoughts?”

"I didn't mean that."

"The emperor didn't mean it, but he did it."

"If I don't handle it this way, I won't be able to face King Zhenbei in the future." The emperor frowned and said seriously, "Yin'er's princess was killed by him himself. No matter what the reason for killing the Qi family, the royal family must do this. Give the King of Zhenbei an explanation. I can’t just punish him without punishment. Let’s just pretend this didn’t happen.”

The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment: "What about Concubine Feng? What mistake did she make?"

"She was wrong because she had no good way to teach her daughter." The emperor's face was slightly cold, "Yiling conspired with Feng Jinzhi to instigate the noble sons of the clan to murder the eldest princess. This alone is inexcusable. I did not put him in the cold palace, that is For the sake of past friendship, please be lenient with her, otherwise..."

After a pause, "Queen Mother should know that Yi Ling and Feng Jinzhi should always be executed for their behavior."

The Queen Mother was shocked.

If he is found guilty of murdering the eldest princess, there is really no way to give him a lenient sentence. However, even if the prince commits the same crime as the common people, the royal children are different after all.

Doesn't it depend on the emperor whether he will be punished by death or not?

If the emperor is willing to let it go, these things can be treated as if they did not happen. If the emperor is not willing to let it go, of course he will take this opportunity to punish him severely.

The Queen Mother felt a little tired and slowly lay back on the brocade couch with carved phoenix pattern.

"The emperor is the king of a country. The life and death of all the people in the world are controlled by the emperor. Even his own children, the life, death and glory are within the emperor's thoughts. The Ai family is old and can no longer control the emperor." The Queen Mother waved her hand, "The emperor loves you Just deal with it how you want.”

The emperor held the tea cup with a calm expression: "Yin'er has a female doctor named A'dai next to her. The queen mother should know about it."

The Queen Mother was startled and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with her?"

"The fragrant medicine used by Yi Ling to murder Qinghuang came from A'dai's hand." The emperor's tone was calm and unruffled, "I know that A'dai is someone close to the queen, so this time I only treat it for the sake of the queen. , I will not hold her accountable.”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face suddenly darkened.

What's the meaning?

Is the emperor warning her?

He demoted a noble concubine, punished Jinzhi, and demoted Tianyin to the title of prince, but he just let a medical girl go?

The emperor has good means.

None of the important people were left behind, and all of them were punished to the extreme. But the unimportant people were not even held accountable, and they still said it was for her sake?

The Queen Mother sneered again and again: "Should the Ai family be grateful to the Emperor for his grace?"

"Mother, there is no need to be angry." The emperor's voice was deep. "You are my queen, and it is my duty to honor you. Even if the treasury is empty these years, the monthly expenses on my mother's side have never been reduced. This will still be the case in the future. Mother Tell the imperial kitchen what you want to eat directly, or ask the small kitchen to make more food that the queen likes to eat. No one dares to dishonor the queen's clothes and appearance. The best hairpin jewelry in the palace are all used by the queen first. I will never do that. I owe my mother half a cent."

The Queen Mother's face gradually turned ugly: "What does the Emperor mean by telling the Aijia these things?"

"The Queen Mother is old and should enjoy her glory in peace." The emperor said calmly, "The Queen Mother should not get involved in the matter of establishing a crown prince in the previous dynasty, the factional disputes among the princes, and the fights between the concubines in the harem. She will have to worry about it in the end. You may not be able to achieve what you want, it’s boring.”

The Queen Mother froze.

The emperor put down the teacup, stood up and brushed the sleeves and hem of the dragon robe: "The Queen Mother is not well, so the Queen and Concubine Duan have been taking turns to take care of her for the past two days. Several female doctors in the palace have also served snacks. Please check your pulse in the morning and evening." Don’t make any mistakes.”

Then he ordered Chen Hai: "You should pay more attention to these things on weekdays. If there are any troublesome things in the future, remember to remind them not to spread them to the Queen Mother's Palace."

"Yes." Chen Hai lowered his head, "I obey the order."

The emperor bowed to the Queen Mother: "My son is still involved in government affairs, so he won't sit with the Queen Mother any longer. The Queen Mother has a good rest."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The Queen Mother clenched the handkerchief tightly, her expression was dull, and her eyes were staring blankly at the Emperor's leaving figure, as if she were looking at someone she didn't know at all.
