Finally, the Northern King couldn't stand his appearance any longer. "Hurry up and leave, or you'll become someone else's wife!"
To Song Yanqing, these words sounded like a vicious curse.
He suddenly stood up, glared at his father where his father couldn't see him, and then bowed and took his leave.
Song Yanqing strode out of the temple, and An Yi immediately led Ta Yun over.
The two mounted their horses and headed straight for Luzhou Prefecture.
...
The palace, the main hall.
"What!"
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
"They actually let the two of them escape right under our noses!"
When the emperor heard that Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing had fled the new capital, he was furious.
He almost couldn't catch his breath and slumped heavily onto the dragon throne.
Seeing this, Li Defu quickly stepped forward and gently patted the emperor's back to help him catch his breath.
The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review knelt on the ground, bowed his head and explained, "Your Majesty, this humble subject does not know how the two escaped."
Princess Kang Le escorted the divine physician out of the capital. I personally watched her board the carriage and return to the Marquis of Lin'an's residence. She never left the residence again after that.
Although the crown prince's whereabouts were not restricted, he would spend the entire day in the secret prison after leaving the palace for the morning court session.
Finally, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, having exhausted all other arguments, closed his eyes and resigned himself to his fate, saying, "All of this is due to my negligence, which has led to this grave mistake. I beg Your Majesty for punishment."
After saying this, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review kowtowed deeply.
The emperor stared at him intently for a long time, wishing he could tear him apart with his eyes!
But now that the two have left the capital, even if he issues an imperial decree, it will be useless. Moreover, if he were to announce it to the whole world, wouldn't that give people something to talk about?
"go out!"
The emperor shouted, and the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the palace gate without daring to stop for a moment.
It took the emperor a long time to recover, and then he remembered that Song Yanqing and the Empress Dowager had always been close.
Perhaps the Empress Dowager knew something, or perhaps she was secretly helping them.
"Prepare the carriage for Zhaohua Palace!"
The following day, when the emperor attended court, he sat on the dragon throne with one hand covering his forehead.
The civil and military officials below the main hall were very curious: who dared to give the emperor a hole in his forehead?
Not long after they left the palace, news spread that the Empress Dowager had broken the Emperor's head.
When the censor learned that it was the Empress Dowager who had taken action, he remembered that the Empress Dowager had a history of misconduct when the late emperor was alive, so he pretended to be deaf, dumb, and blind.
