Chapter 2047 [Shang Xie]
Qingze stepped forward immediately.
The emperor said calmly,
"Pick up the military token and repair it, uncle..."
He glanced at the Regent's unpleasant expression and smiled faintly.
"Broken military talismans are no small matter, so I will confine my uncle to the palace for two months. During this time, he is not allowed to attend court or participate in government affairs. As for the arrangements for food and fodder during the war, I will leave it to the Grand Tutor and General Long."
The emperor walked out and as he passed by the regent, he gently patted his shoulder and said soothingly,
"Uncle, please don't be angry. I have no other choice. So many people in the palace have seen it. I can't just brush it off. Otherwise, where will the national prestige and the imperial power be? When I return from the battlefield, I will definitely release you."
He smiled and walked away nonchalantly.
The Black Guards also quickly retreated like a tide, exposing the palace maids hiding behind pillars, behind flowers and on the paths.
No one knows when these palace maids and eunuchs were there, and no one knows whether someone has already watched the whole process and quickly left.
After tonight, the entire palace will be filled with all kinds of rumors again.
The emperor is in great health now and his martial arts skills have all recovered. He comes to the regent to spar with him, but accidentally breaks a piece of his military token. As a result, the regent is punished by being confined to his house for two months.
This is the best outcome.
He couldn't make any excuses.
Because he couldn't let anyone know that the military token was hidden in his arms when it was broken.
The regent's evil ambitions are known to almost everyone in the government and the country, but the people are completely unaware of it. The people of Chiwei have always respected the regent who managed the country in an orderly manner during the emperor's serious illness. Even if there are court officials who are pro-emperor and want to expose the regent's ambitions to the people, they always have no evidence.
If tonight's matter is not handled properly, the military token that fell from his arms and should have belonged to the emperor will become ironclad evidence of his desire to seize power and usurp the throne.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to accept the punishment in silence.
Two months... Two months he was on the battlefield, and two months Xia Fuyi was in the palace. On the one hand, she prevented him from setting traps in matters related to the war, and on the other hand, she prevented him from appearing in front of Xia Fuyi.
Changsun Qingzhao stood in the darkness for a long time, and finally slowly revealed a smile, which was pale and extremely cold.
"It's really a pleasant surprise."

Xia Fuyi was ultimately unable to leave the Zichen Palace.
As soon as she opened the curtain, she was stopped by Fu Yan who was waiting outside.
"It's so late and cold outside, you'd better not go out."
Fu Yan seemed to be in a daze. When she heard the voice, she turned around and showed a surprised expression.
"The Emperor is in the Imperial Study, processing memorials. You'll be able to see him when you wake up after a good sleep."
Xia Fuyi's steps were still a little unsteady, but she stretched out her hand to block Fu Yan's support.
It was a gesture with the palm facing outward that would not be rejected. Fu Yan's expression froze slightly, but she still retreated. She just followed her while trying to persuade her. It was not until Xia Fuyi could no longer walk and sat down on the stool with her legs limp that she let out a long sigh.
"Look, you'd better not go out. Have a cup of hot tea and go back to bed to have a good rest."
As she said this, she turned around and made tea, her movements very skillful.
There was a small bronze mirror on the square table for making tea. Fu Yan was making tea while watching Xia Fuyi's situation in the mirror inconspicuously.
