Chapter 315 Two Periods
What did she do wrong?
Why does the emperor hate her so much?
Now, the emperor has passed away so quickly, but her resentment and hatred are still there. She cannot tell others and can only keep it in her heart.
Looking at the rather negative queen in front of her, Shen Heng could only say, "Your Majesty, whenever you want to talk to someone, just call me."
Seeing the sincerity on Madam Xie's face, the Queen felt relieved. When she called Madam Xie, she actually also asked people to call the other ladies who had made peace with her privately. Only Shen Heng came.
It was almost noon when Chen Heng left the Queen's main palace.
As soon as I stepped out of the round gate, I saw many palace servants decorating the garden here. You have to know that this is still in the Queen's Palace.
Can’t the current queen even wait this little bit of time?
Just as Shen Heng left the garden, a maid came over and bowed with a smile, "Thank you, Madam. The Empress knows you're coming. She has prepared some fine tea in the Imperial Garden. Please come over and have a cup."
This kind of thing is inevitable, Chen Heng agreed.
Thinking about it carefully, she and the current Queen had never met alone except at group banquets, and the number of words they had exchanged could be counted on one hand.
Who would have thought that the eighth prince, who always loved to play, would become the emperor.
The new queen was sitting in the pavilion, talking to her personal maid. She was very beautiful, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with pearls and emeralds around her waist, which made her look even more beautiful and bright. However, there was always a sharp look in her eyes when she looked at people.
She is beautiful, but she is still far inferior to the dignified and graceful Queen Kangsheng.
A greeting.
When Shen Heng stood up, her eyes swept over her jeweled attire. She was still in mourning for the late emperor. Unexpectedly, the maidservant beside the new queen suddenly scolded her coldly, "How dare you! The queen didn't even let you get up."
Chen Heng: "..." Apart from the blow she received from Liu Yu when she ran into him in the palace a few days ago, this was the first time she was embarrassed in front of a group of women, not to mention that she was now the regent minister and the wife of the current prime minister.
"Shut up! How can you be so rude to the Prime Minister's wife? Go down and slap her face ten times." The new queen smiled at Chen Heng and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your generosity. Don't bother with me. Please take a seat."
Such eloquence doesn't match what she did. Shen Heng smiled and sat down: "Thank you, Queen."
"The emperor just ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty. Logically, my disappointing brother should also be included in the amnesty. But who would have thought that Lord Lu would arbitrarily change the imperial edict and exclude those serving sentences of more than three years from the amnesty. Madam Xie, don't you think it's infuriating?" said the new queen.
Chen Heng recalled how the new queen's brother, drunkenly breaking into a house and abducting a woman, then abandoning her and causing her to commit suicide. Lord Lu sentenced him to a life sentence, and later the Eighth Prince pleaded for mercy many times, but the Master refused to see him, thus creating a grudge between them.
Shen Heng smiled but said nothing.
Seeing that Shen Shi didn't respond, the new queen looked a little unhappy. Which lady didn't fawn over her now? As the wife of the Prime Minister and the wife of the Regent, she should set an example. "Madam Xie, I know that Master Xie and Master Lu have a close relationship. I will handle this matter for you."
The corner of Chen Heng's mouth twitched. This was the first time she had encountered such a unique personality. "Your Majesty, you're joking. Lord Lu is honest and upright, and has always been impartial. Even my Prime Minister is afraid of Lord Lu and dares not interfere too much. In fact, in matters like this, as long as the Emperor speaks, there is no reason not to do so."
Speaking of the emperor, the new queen was even more dissatisfied. She had naturally spoken out and made a fuss, but in the end, he asked her to wait a little longer. What was she waiting for? Every day her brother was in prison was a day of suffering.
