Chapter 397: The Emperor's Wrath
Inside the palace.
The emperor was copying scriptures in the palace, but instead of being able to calm his mind, he became distracted.
She loved copying these things from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for the emperor's order or if it wasn't for the prince, she wouldn't have done these.
Nanny Hu came in from outside and sent everyone around her away.
"My lady, I have a way to copy less."
"What?" the Queen asked, "Madam, please tell me, my hands are sore."
Madam Hu massaged her hand and whispered, "Have you ever heard of grinding ink with blood? The scriptures copied in this way show your sincerity. One copy is worth ten copies."
The queen was startled: "How can that be possible? I am afraid of pain."
Madam Hu lowered her eyes and smiled: "How could this old slave allow the Majesty to get hurt? This old slave is talking about blood, but I dare not use the Majesty's blood."
She whispered something in the Queen's ear.
The queen nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's do it."
After a while, the blood and ink were formed, and when he copied the scriptures again, they became dark red characters.
The queen was very satisfied.
At this moment, a bell rang in the corridor.
She immediately stopped writing: "It really works. As soon as I started writing, good news came."
She opened the window and saw the bird flying over to the bird stand in the corridor, which was empty in the morning, and the bell on it was swinging.
There is also a letter box on the bird's leg.
She hurried outside and took down the letter box herself.
She had strict orders that no one else could touch the bird except herself.
After taking off the letter tube, Matron Hu quickly congratulated them.
The queen happily returned to the table, opened the mailbox, and saw the words on it. Her smile froze and then broke.
Crush.
She couldn't believe it and watched it again and again.
There were more than a dozen lines of text, and I read them over and over again seven or eight times.
After watching it for the last time, he screamed, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Matron Hu was startled and quickly supported Ye. She bravely glanced at the note, and her heart was shocked. She helped Ye to sit on the ground.
…
Yu Shengsheng followed Fu Qingyin to the palace gate.
Fu Qingyin said: "Wait for me in the carriage."
Yu Shengsheng's face was still red, and although she was shy she still pulled his sleeve.
"I...I'll go in with you, and I can be a witness."
Fu Qingyin smiled faintly: "No need, there are so many witnesses, you are not a big deal. No one knows about your affairs in Tianwang Temple, they just think you went there with Lu Xiang and the others."
"Besides," Fu Qingyin lowered his voice, "there is no need for witnesses for the time being. The emperor has always been very proud. The prince's behavior is undoubtedly a slap in his face. He will only want to understand the situation privately first."
Yu Shengsheng understood instantly.
"good."
When you can't help, just obey the instructions and don't fall behind.
Fu Qingyin gently pinched her face and said, "If you want to eat anything else, tell them to buy it. I don't know when I can come out, so don't go hungry."
"good."
Yu Shengsheng took a look at the things on the small table. It was full of snacks, buns, hot dishes, and everything else.
I bought it just now when I was crossing the street.
Fu Qingyin was about to get off the car. Yu Shengsheng looked at his back. He suddenly turned around and kissed her forehead.
Then he got off the car and left.
Yu Shengsheng sat there in a daze for a while, raised his hand to touch his forehead, looked around, and smiled foolishly to himself.
Fu Qingyin got out of the car, gently pulled up his sleeves, looked at the black air surging between his wrists, adjusted his breath, and suppressed the fishy and sweet taste in his throat.
Hei Bai was walking beside him. He took a look and couldn't help but get anxious: "Master, this thing needs to be dealt with quickly. Otherwise, you can ask for leave from the emperor and go there in person."
Fu Qingyin shook his head: "Not yet."
Hei Bai pursed his lips and said no more.
He knew why it didn't work without asking.
Although the dethronement of the crown prince was a foregone conclusion, it was not finalized yet. Besides, there was still the queen.
The Queen and the Crown Prince have been running this business for many years, and they are like a centipede that has just died but is still alive. We cannot be careless.
Furthermore, the Beast-Headed Man has not been caught yet and remains a serious threat.
Not to mention that Fu Qingyin couldn't leave Beijing at this time, even if people knew about his old illness, it would be dangerous.
Hei Bai was worried. He stopped in front of the gate of Erdao Palace and watched Fu Qingyin go in alone.
Eunuch Wei was waiting at the door of the study, sweating profusely. When he saw him coming, he hurried to greet him.
"Commander, you are here," Eunuch Wei said, not even bothering to wipe the sweat off his face. "The Emperor is in his study, locked up alone, for nearly an hour."
Fu Qingyin frowned: "The emperor knows?"
Eunuch Wei's face turned pale: "So, it's true? Oh my God, how could it be..."
"When Master Lu came to deliver the memorial on behalf of Prime Minister Lu, I was so frightened that my legs went limp. Prime Minister Lu was actually going to hand in his resignation. This..."
Fu Qingyin was handling follow-up matters at the Tianwang Temple, so naturally he came back later than Lu Xiang and the others.
It was also somewhat intentional.
Prime Minister Lu explained the situation to the emperor, and he came back with solid evidence to convince him to death.
This is the best option instead of him having to do all the talking alone.
Eunuch Wei whispered, "The emperor didn't lose his temper, he just said that no one should disturb him, but the more he said that, the more scared I am."
The calm before the storm is the most terrifying.
Fu Qingyin nodded: "Eunuch, please pour me a cup of tea and I'll bring it in."
"good."
Eunuch Wei quickly poured him some tea, and he walked in lightly, holding the tea.
Everything was normal in the house, but the air pressure was so low that it was almost hard to breathe.
The emperor sat at the table, his eyes slightly closed and his cheeks clenched tightly.
Hearing the noise, he suddenly opened his eyes, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Seeing it was him, he calmed down a little: "When did you come back?"
Fu Qingyin put down the tea and said, "Your Majesty, I came directly to the capital to see you."
The emperor suppressed his anger and said as calmly as possible: "Is it true?"
"Your Majesty, I don't want to believe it either... I have brought all the things back, please have a look."
The emperor suddenly raised his hand and smashed the teacup to pieces.
Fu Qingyin didn't hide at all and didn't say anything.
This throw was like tearing open a hole in his anger. The emperor threw the things on the table to the ground one after another, and did not stop until they were all gone.
This was the first time in all these years that Fu Qingyin saw the emperor lose his composure like this.
Even Eunuch Wei, who was outside, was frightened when he heard the noise.
When was the last time the emperor was so furious?
It seemed that he had just ascended the throne and was suppressed by ministers in the court. He became angry when he came back.
Since then, there really hasn't been one.
It seems that he is really angry this time.
Prince, I’m afraid you’re no longer safe.
…
Yu Shengsheng was waiting in the carriage. The food she bought was enough for her to eat. She was bored being alone, so she lifted the curtain to look out while eating.
Suddenly, a carriage was seen approaching, with a man on horseback leading the way. It was Lu Xingyao.
Yu Shengsheng was just thinking about whether to get off the carriage when the Lu family’s carriage stopped.
Lu Xingyao's face was solemn. He didn't even see her. He turned to the car and whispered something.
Soon, a person was carried out of the carriage.
His face was pale, his breath was weak, and his eyes were closed, as if he didn't have much time left.
Yu Shengsheng’s eyes widened.
