Chapter 8 Self-invited Exile
The queen said this sadly and looked at Emperor Yucheng with hope.
However, Emperor Yucheng rebuked him coldly: "How outrageous!"
When the queen heard this, she looked at her husband, her eyes first filled with disbelief, then turned to grief and despair, tears streaming down her face. There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
She entered the palace as empress at the age of sixteen. Over the years, she and Emperor Yucheng treated each other with respect. Even though there were many concubines in the harem, the emperor always respected her. Unexpectedly, today, he was so cold and heartless!
Seeing this, Chen Fenghe couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I hope that after this incident, the Queen can get over her love-sickness and start a new life.
Although... I'm afraid my life in the cold palace won't be any better in the future.
The eunuch came over and grabbed the Queen and Shen Fenghe, and was about to leave the hall.
The queen didn't know where she got the strength from, but she suddenly broke free from the eunuch who was holding her and slammed into a big pillar in the hall!
"Mother!" Shen Fenghe exclaimed in surprise.
She originally thought that the queen's words were just a scare tactic, but she didn't expect that she actually wanted to commit suicide!
The ancient people were really something. They would hit their heads against pillars at any time, and they would die if they did, and there was no place to seek justice!
As Chen Fenghe thought about this, he broke free from his grip and chased after the queen.
However, she only had time to pull the queen's clothes, and then there was a heavy "bang". Blood flowed from the queen's forehead and her body fell limply to the ground.
"No! This is bad! Your Majesty! Does the Queen... want to summon the imperial physician?" Xu Qing quickly knelt down and asked.
Emperor Yu Cheng turned around, a flash of disgust in his eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he said impatiently: "Announce it."
The queen still had a trace of consciousness, and a tear leaked from the corner of her eye. She didn't know whether it was because she was sad to see the cold side of her husband who wished her dead.
Taking advantage of the panic, Chen Fenghe raised his hand and secretly checked her breath. Although it was very weak, she was still breathing.
She quickly checked the queen's head and pupils again, and her expression became serious.
The death rate from pillar-hitting was so high in ancient times. Firstly, it was because the people were really seeking death and exerted too much strength. Secondly, it was because medical technology was not well developed and they did not receive timely treatment.
The Queen took the first spot and hit the car with great force, so she was badly injured.
Chen Fenghe immediately and quietly pulled out a few needles from a small needle bag in her sleeve and quickly inserted them into several important acupuncture points on her head.
Then, she casually took out a bottle of adrenaline from the space and quietly injected it into the queen's vein.
This should save the queen's life. Otherwise, she would probably die just while waiting for the imperial physician to arrive.
At this moment, a baby-like cry suddenly came from outside the palace: "Mother!"
I saw a little boy of five or six years old rushing in crying!
Several eunuchs and palace maids behind him shouted in panic, "Ninth Prince, you can't come here! Come back with me!"
However, the little boy had already rushed in and rushed towards the queen.
"Mother! Mother, wake up! Mother, please don't ignore me! Wuwu!"
The little boy's cries, coupled with Chen Fenghe's emergency measures, caused the Queen to wake up faintly: "Hao'er, be good. Mother... is fine."
Emperor Yucheng's face turned ashen. He waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "Who sent the Ninth Prince here? Send him back to the palace immediately and put him under house arrest for three months!"
The queen's pupils suddenly contracted!
It would be fine if he just watched her die without being moved!
Now not only is her deceased eldest son being wrongly accused of treason, but her five-year-old youngest son is also being confined to his house! How could she tolerate this?
The Queen struggled to sit up and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
Emperor Yucheng did not expect that the empress was hit so hard, but she could still wake up, and her face was gloomy and uncertain.
The Queen laughed bitterly. She gently pushed away Chen Fenghe's support, straightened her appearance, knelt before her husband, and said, "Your Majesty, I deserve death! I beg Your Majesty to depose me from my position as Queen today! I am willing to be demoted to a commoner and exiled to the border with the Eastern Palace! Please grant this wish!"
After hearing what the queen said, Chen Fenghe was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but admire her.
She may be in love, but after she wakes up, she can immediately draw a clear line between herself and the scumbag, which shows that she has some courage.
"Empress!" Emperor Yucheng was obviously insulted and shouted loudly with gritted teeth.
He had already done his best by banishing her to the cold palace, but she actually dared to take advantage of him!
The Queen didn't even look up at him, and said in a trembling voice, "Please grant me your blessing, Your Majesty!"
The Ninth Prince was crying on the side. Upon hearing this, he also knelt down like his mother and said in a baby voice, "Father, I will also be demoted to a commoner and exiled along with my mother!"
Emperor Yucheng's face was gloomy to the extreme. He chuckled coldly and said, "Good! Good! Queen, you are very kind! I will grant your wish! I hereby declare that Queen Qin Mengyue and Ninth Prince Xiao Yunhao have been disrespectful in front of the palace and have failed to educate their children properly! You are deposed as Queen and Prince, demoted to commoners, and exiled to the frontier!"
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Oh well! There are even people eager to be exiled.
Immediately, the imperial guards came forward and pushed Chen Fenghe, the Queen, the Ninth Prince, and others out of the palace and headed towards the north gate to meet up with the other people who were to be exiled.
Queen Qin Mengyue had a head injury and was nearly knocked over several times from being pushed around. The Ninth Prince was only a five-year-old kid; what did he even know about exile? Consequently, the weak mother and young son stumbled several times!
Fortunately, Chen Fenghe was there to support him, so he didn't fall!
Chen Fenghe actually didn't want to have a mother-in-law and a brother-in-law to take care of her during her exile.
After all, she had never even seen the prince, and they had no real marriage or emotional foundation. Was she crazy to find a mother-in-law for herself?
However, putting aside her identity as the mother-in-law, the queen was the best friend of the original owner's mother. After the original owner's mother passed away, the original owner and her twin siblings received a lot of care from the queen, which is why they were not killed by the scumbag emperor and the evil concubine and grew up safely.
Moreover, the Queen had just come to find her in person, wanting to take her to the Emperor to plead for mercy, which showed that she treated her sincerely.
So, Chen Fenghe finally sighed and decided to at least take care of the queen when she was sick. If they couldn't get along well during exile in the future, they could break up!
Arriving at the north city gate, Shen Fenghe subconsciously looked towards the crowds of people watching the excitement on both sides of the road, trying to find Shen Yichuan and Shen Qingxing.
The officials in charge of escorting the exiles deliberately stopped for a moment so that the exiles could say goodbye to their relatives and friends who came to see them off, and they also wanted to make some small bribes.
However, as the saying goes, when people leave, the tea gets cold, and most people are ignored.
At this time, two crisp sounds were heard.
"Sister! Sister!"
