The emperor finally wiped the blood off his hands.
He stood up and looked up at the screen. The sound was like water dripping into a glacier, with a hint of chill.
"Let's take them one at a time, starting with the Queen Mother, shall we?"
"But the Queen Mother has been entrenched in the palace for too many years. If we want to take action against her, it may not be easy." Feng Ming was still quite calm, but the emperor said: "I will do it."
At night, something happened in the palace, and as if it had wings, it spread quietly to every corner of the palace.
It was already late at night when Xiao Yuli arrived at the largest restaurant in the capital from the palace.
He sat on a warm kang with some wine and delicacies in front of him.
A man pushed the door open and walked in, bringing with him a strong breeze. He turned around and closed the door, then sat down and said to Xiao Yuli, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the honor of drinking with me."
When Xiao Yuli saw the man, he sat up straight, chuckled and said, "Prince Yun, please excuse me. What is the reason you asked me to come here this time?"
Prince Yun really didn't expect Xiao Yuli to be so proactive. How come he was too lazy to even say hello?
He smiled awkwardly, rubbed his hands together, coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I just want to ask, how does the prince feel after living out in exile for so many years?"
Xiao Yuli was not polite either, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He answered the question irrelevantly: "My Lord, since you and the Queen Mother have found me, it must be for the supreme power. What exactly do you want to do?"
Prince Yun saw that Xiao Yuli did not play by the rules, so he did not hesitate to say, "Your Highness, you must first go to the palace to help and protect the Queen Mother, and then marry the girl from our Yun family. In addition, if you can get the military power, then the problem will be solved easily."
"You have a nice thought."
Xiao Yuli suddenly laughed, apparently thinking that Prince Yun must have been thinking about this idea for a long time.
But he still let it go.
——
In the side hall of Taixing Palace, Qiao Yuge was lying on the bed, the pain all over her body made her despair.
She didn't want to wake up for a long time. She was afraid that this was not a dream and that after waking up she would have to face her physical and mental exhaustion.
Someone gently applied medicine to her and changed her into clean clothes.
Someone helped her up and gave her medicine.
After taking the warm medicine, although it tasted a little bitter, compared to the pain in his body, Qiao Yege felt that this medicine was not something unacceptable.
After she lay down, she became much more conscious, but she was still unwilling to open her eyes.
"Can you let me die?"
Qiao Yege's tone was very calm.
At this moment, the head nanny who had helped her change her clothes paused and turned to look at the emperor who came out from behind the screen.
The emperor's eyes also flashed, and he hurried over, sat beside the bed, and came in front of Qiao Yege and said to her, "What did you say?"
Qiao Yege was in so much pain that he barely managed to breathe: "I said, let me die, this hurts so much, what sin have I committed?"
Although her tone was still as playful as before, the emperor could obviously feel that Qiao Yuge was not joking this time and she really couldn't hold on any longer.
"Don't worry, I will avenge you!" The emperor grabbed Qiao Yege's hand and stared at him.
It's a pity that Qiao Yuge pulled his hand away. His voice was very soft, but it was filled with hatred that could not be concealed at all.
"No, this is my business. I am too cowardly. I just want to avoid the limelight and live a good life. Even if others bully me, I will endure it. It seems that no one can stay out of trouble in the palace. I am the same."
When Qiao Yuge said this, he was out of breath, and it was obvious that it was quite difficult for him to say it.
However, the emperor still understood what Qiao Yege meant.
The kind-hearted Qiao Yege in front of her was gone. She had finally realized that her endless kindness and forbearance could not even protect her life!
The emperor was silent for a long time, but he finally grabbed Qiao Yuge's hand and carefully placed it in his palm: "I know you are kind, and I have lived in the harem for more than 20 years without any heart. Now I think that I was really stupid."
Qiao Yege was dazed after hearing these words. The string in her head finally broke, and she fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Qiao Yuge woke up in her room. The nanny opened the door and came to apply medicine to her.
The atmosphere in the room was very strange. Qiao Yuge always had a smile on his face.
But now Qiao Yege's eyes were cold and his lips were tightly pursed.
However, it seemed that Qiao Yuge's body was indeed thick and tough. Even after being beaten so severely, he recovered very well in a short time.
After the head nanny had applied the medicine with trepidation, she saw Xiao Yuli walking in with a woman.
Qiao Yuge raised her eyes and unexpectedly saw that the woman Xiao Yuli was with was Fang Yuan?
After all, Fang Yuan is the eldest daughter of the Fang family, and Qiao Yuge is just a palace maid.
It is really strange that the eldest prince and Miss Fang can come to the small palace maid's room.
Seeing Qiao Yege wrapped up like a dumpling, Xiao Yuli frowned and took two quick steps before saying, "What did I say? I asked you to be my maid, but you refused. Now that you've suffered this loss, what are you going to do?"
Qiao Yuge looked at Xiao Yuli in surprise, and her tone was not as bright as before. She first glanced at Fang Yuan who was standing behind Xiao Yuli, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Your Highness, what you said is really strange. I can be beaten as the emperor's maid, so can being your maid escape it?"
You are more powerful than the emperor, right?
"Besides, I never thought that the person who attacked me was actually my sister."
Seeing Qiao Yuge's gaze fall on Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan just felt as if ants were crawling all over her body.
She came over, her tone very sad: "Ye Ge, I didn't mean it. There is nothing I can do in the palace. That is the Queen Mother's request. If I don't do this, the Queen Mother will do it to me."
There was a tearful tone in her voice, and when she said this, she wanted to kneel down and apologize to Qiao Yege.
But unfortunately, Qiao Yege didn't buy her trick.
Could it be that just a few words of apology would earn Qiao Yege's forgiveness? Could it heal the damage Qiao Yege had suffered?
When Xiao Yuli came over, he had obviously heard about this matter, so he turned around and said unhappily, "Why are you so close to the Queen Mother?"
