Queen Duan glanced at Prime Minister Lu with disdain, her voice cold. Could it be that these people really thought she had a good temper that they dared to plot against her again and again?
This is intolerable, what else can we not tolerate?
"Your Majesty, I think Prime Minister Lu is clearly trying to use this matter to harm our princess. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for our daughter!"
When Prime Minister Lu heard this, he naturally confronted Queen Duan.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. It was Master Liaochen who was sent to Fengyi Palace by the Empress Dowager to divine this matter. How can a humble minister order someone around the Empress Dowager? Are you kidding me?"
Empress Dowager Xiao had been watching from the dark, but when Prime Minister Lu mentioned her, she felt unhappy. It was clear that Emperor Shangwen wanted to deal with the Lu family. Even though the two families had some relationship, it did not mean that she would wade into this muddy water.
"Someone, please invite Master Lechen up. If I have defamed the little princess's reputation, I will apologize in person."
Emperor Shangwen ordered people to bring Master Lechen up, but before Master Lechen could say a word, Emperor Shangwen charged him with spreading rumors and misleading the people.
Emperor Shang Wen said coldly, "If the little princess likes it, I will give her my kingdom. From today on, I will not allow anyone to throw dirty water on the princess. Otherwise, they will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison!"
This was Emperor Shangwen's warning, but it was also his bottom line of tolerance. There were always people who attempted to challenge his authority, and he naturally did not like anyone crossing that line.
The ministers knelt down and saluted, "I understand."
"Eunuch Yin, send Luochen and Master Murong to the Heavenly Prison. Slandering the princess is a serious crime. There have been rumors for more than a month. This is my last warning. Do not let anyone plot against the princess in secret. Otherwise, I will never let them off easily."
Of course, the ministers did not dare to offend Emperor Shangwen, and they agreed to the matter in public.
It was getting late, and Emperor Shangwen did not keep his ministers. After everyone left, his eyes fell on Empress Dowager Xiao.
Empress Dowager Xiao felt a chill down her spine when she saw his gloomy gaze. She said unhappily:
"Emperor, what do you want to say?"
Emperor Shangwen took the princess from Eleven's arms. Looking at the delicate and lovely appearance of the little girl, the anger in his heart was gradually calmed down.
"Mother, you may know the reason why I sent you away. It is good for us to reconcile, but if you do anything to the little princess in secret again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Master Liaochen is a person outside the palace, and there is no need to verify that Empress Dowager Xiao has the ability to make him confuse right and wrong.
Empress Dowager Xiao originally wanted to send the little princess away with the help of Prime Minister Lu, but she didn't expect that Emperor Shangwen would find out. He knew what kind of person her son was.
After saying this, Emperor Shangwen and Empress Duan left the place, leaving the Empress Dowager alone.
There are many loopholes in today's incident. Emperor Shang Wen will surely not hold it high and let it go easily. It seems that it is better for her to stay away from Fengyi Palace for the time being.
The fragrance from Emperor Shangwen made Xiao Ruyu frown. It was this smell that was so alluring. It seemed that someone had attacked my father. Thinking of this, Xiao Ruyu said sullenly.
Concubine Li is so bold that she actually gave Daddy drugs. It seems that she wants to control Daddy's mind and make him stay with her. However, it won't succeed so easily.
Xiao Ruyu's words made Emperor Shangwen finally realize that something was wrong. He originally had no feelings for Concubine Li, but in the past two days he always wanted to get close to her.
Especially the fragrance from Concubine Li, which made Emperor Shangwen feel distracted. He had always had good self-control, but under Concubine Li's scheme, he almost lost his temper.
It seems that we still need to be careful about everything.
"Your Majesty, I see that you don't look well. Why don't you ask Imperial Doctor Yang to come to the palace to take a look?"
When Emperor Shangwen heard this, he also felt that the queen was considerate and thoughtful. He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Queen."
After a while, Doctor Yang appeared in Fengyi Palace carrying a medicine box. He bowed respectfully to the emperor and empress.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty."
"The emperor doesn't look well. Doctor Yang, please take a look. Is there something wrong with the emperor's health?"
Imperial Physician Yang walked solemnly to the side of Emperor Shangwen and began to take his pulse. He found that his pulse was indeed fluctuating and somewhat dangerous.
"The emperor was drugged. It was made from incense. The smell is addictive and makes people lose control. However, if the drug is used too often, it will make the body feel unwell and eventually die of deficiency."
When Xiao Ruyu saw Doctor Yang coming, she hurried to communicate with him.
[Master, there is a lot of poison in Daddy's body. He needs to take medicine to detoxify. In particular, he needs to use the herb of money grass to solve the problem.]
After hearing this, Doctor Yang's doubts were resolved. He had always felt that some medicinal ingredients were missing. It turned out to be the case. The little princess was very insightful, which was really a pleasant surprise.
After he knew about Emperor Shangwen's illness, he hurried back to ask the imperial physician Shu to prepare medicinal herbs for Emperor Shangwen. After he delivered the herbs, Emperor Shangwen would no longer be infatuated with the fragrance.
Concubine Li's efforts were in vain.
Doctor Yang delivered the medicine to Emperor Shang Wen and sighed, "Your Majesty, please stay away from fragrances recently, lest someone use the same old tricks against you."
Emperor Shangwen nodded slightly, "Yes, I understand."
Doctor Yang left with his medicine box. Xiao Ruyu watched him leave and felt secretly upset. She was sure that Yang Xufeng was her master, although she didn't know why he had lost his memory.
But no matter what, as long as we meet again, it is a good thing. After all, it is a gift from God.
[Master, when I come to Fengyi Palace tomorrow to check my brother's pulse, can you bring me some milk tea? ]
Doctor Yang was about to leave when he heard the little princess's pleading voice. Although he did not like to get involved in the royal family's struggles, he always felt inexplicably soft-hearted when facing the little princess.
He readily agreed, "Of course."
That night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Emperor Shangwen accompanied Empress Duan back to the bedroom to rest.
Although Empress Duan was still sulking in her heart, Emperor Shangwen was also clear about Empress Duan's character. She was loyal to him, but she was a little proud.
"Yun'er, I didn't handle the Queen Mother's affairs well."
Emperor Shangwen took the initiative to admit his mistakes and only wanted Empress Duan to forgive him.
Queen Duan shook her head. "You and I are husband and wife. I have never blamed the emperor. You are overthinking it."
"The first child we had was lost because of our mother. I don't know if she has repented in the past few years, but I will never let you and the children suffer any injustice. Even if you disobey our mother, I will still give you honor and dignity. Yun'er, can you trust me?"
Queen Duan seemed to be thinking about something. In fact, she knew very well in her heart that it didn't matter whether she believed it or not. It all depended on the emperor's thoughts.
He is the one who ultimately holds the power.
Empress Duan stood up, put her arms around Emperor Shangwen's waist, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"As long as my children are not wronged, it doesn't matter even if I am wronged."
Emperor Shangwen felt more and more guilty. He knew the Queen's personality and that she would never argue with anyone. However, even so, there were still people who were ignorant enough to provoke her. It was really speechless.
