He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes suddenly becoming fierce!
He has always known that his younger brother, although seemingly well-behaved on the surface, is actually constantly doing small things behind the scenes.
He had long wanted to send his younger brother to his fiefdom, but his mother had gone on hunger strike several times, forcing him to do so, so he had no choice but to let him stay in the capital.
Now it seems...
It’s better to keep this brother imprisoned!
It’s no use even if the Queen Mother pleads this time!
He would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!
"Your Majesty, since you miss the Empress so much, why don't you go in and take a look at her?"
The two trusted guards standing behind Feng Changye saw that he was staring silently at the high palace wall, just like a wife-waiting rock, and they couldn't help but persuade him with concern.
"You miss the Queen, and standing here won't relieve your longing!"
Feng Changye, who was thinking about how to deal with Prince Jin, suddenly came to his senses when he heard the voice of his trusted guard.
He looked at them, suspecting he had misheard, "What?"
The guard advised with increasing distress, "Your Majesty, why are you hesitating here? You have already rescinded your order and will not dethrone the Empress. The Empress will certainly not blame you. Just go in and see her without worrying about it. Don't just stand here, feeling the cold wind through the wall, thinking about her..."
"shut up!"
When Feng Changye heard what they said, he found it absurd and outrageous. "How could I possibly miss that woman? I..."
However, just as he said this, he met the expressions of the two guards, "Your Majesty, please stop saying one thing and thinking another. We have all seen through your feelings for the Empress!"
His words came to an abrupt end!
He suddenly realized that he had followed that woman to Changle Palace as soon as she left. In the eyes of others, wouldn't that mean he was deeply in love with that woman and couldn't bear to part with her?
He opened his mouth, wanting to say that there was no way that a dignified emperor like him would fall in love with this idiotic woman from later times!
However, how could he explain his strange behavior of following others?
He has a gloomy face!
Does he have to pretend to all the palace maids that he is deeply in love with this woman so that he can openly run to her palace gate and eavesdrop on her inner thoughts?
Then what he did as the emperor was too unfair!
"Return to Tai Chi Hall!"
He gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves and walked back.
As soon as he turned to leave, he heard Zhu Wuhuan say to the system in his mind—
She wanted to take off her phoenix robe and return to the general's mansion in casual clothes, following the trajectory of history to see if Prince Jin would come to find her!
He paused. Huh?
This is good! Quite interesting!
This woman wanted to test King Jin. How could he, the one who wanted to get rid of King Jin the most, miss this good show?
Even if we can't find any evidence against Prince Jin, we can still make a big fuss about the "Prince Jin and the Queen having an affair" and make Prince Jin pay for it!
"Your Majesty, you seem so reluctant to leave! Just follow your heart and go in to see the Queen!"
The two guards saw that the emperor stopped after taking just one step, and they could not help but confirm the fact that "the emperor loves the queen deeply, but he says one thing and means another for the sake of face"!
So, they risked their lives once again to speak.
"..."The good mood that Feng Changye had just felt was once again destroyed by these two guards!
He turned around and looked at the two guards coldly!
If these two were not his confidants, he really wanted to poison their mouths with a bowl of mute medicine!
"If you can't speak, then shut up!"
He strode away with a dark face!
The two guards winked at him quietly behind his back.
Alas, the emperor is still too proud to admit it!
Who was that person who got so restless the moment the Queen left? Who was that person who had to chase after the Queen like a little clingy little demon?
Tsk, I never thought that the cold and ruthless emperor would be so reluctant to let go of someone.
But, I've never seen such a good relationship between the Emperor and the Empress before...
Could it be that this time the Emperor ordered the Empress to be killed? At the moment of losing the Empress, the Emperor suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart, and finally realized that he had already fallen deeply in love with the Empress?
The two guards felt that they had seen through the truth.
They both looked back at the magnificent Changle Palace at the same time.
The master of Changle Palace will probably soar to the sky in the future and become truly second to none!
...In Changle Palace.
Zhu Wuhuan and the system had no idea that just now, the tyrant they wanted to kill was standing in the corridor across the wall.
After they finished discussing about returning to the general's mansion later, the palace maid who went to make tea also came back.
"My Lady."
Zhu Wuhuan possessed all of Queen Zhu's memories, so naturally he also knew the identity of the palace maid in front of him.
Her name is Suqiu. She is a personal maid who grew up with Queen Zhu. The master and servant have a good relationship.
When Empress Zhu entered the palace, according to the rules she could bring a maid and a servant to serve her, so she brought Suqiu and two maids in their forties into the palace.
Now Suqiu has been released, but the two maids are still detained in the Ministry of Punishment.
Zhu Wuhuan placed the teacup on the low table beside him, and reached for Suqiu's hand, looking worried. "Let me see, have you been punished in the Ministry of Punishment?"
Su Qiu shook her head and smiled brightly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm fine. Although the Emperor has verbally said he wants to depose you, the eunuchs in the Ministry of Punishment won't dare touch me until you're expelled from the palace."
Zhu Wuhuan smiled with relief, "That's good."
Su Qiu went to hold the teacup and handed it to her respectfully, "Aren't you thirsty, Madam? Drink some tea to moisten your mouth."
Zhu Wuhuan took the cup and drank tea.
While she drank tea, Suqiu stood beside her in a very polite manner, but her bright eyes would occasionally glance at the imperial edict placed on the low table.
Zhu Wuhuan looked up and chuckled.
Su Qiu immediately bowed awkwardly, then asked expectantly, "Your Majesty, this imperial edict..."
Zhu Wuhuan said, "The Emperor has pardoned the death penalty for my entire Zhu family and asked me to lead the imperial guards out of the palace to announce the decree."
Suqiu was so excited that tears filled her eyes!
Her father, mother, and brother were also slaves of the Zhu family, and were among those to be executed.
Now that the emperor has pardoned the Zhu family, her parents and brother don’t have to die!
She was so happy that she knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Wuhuan!
"My Lady! You've suffered!"
"Okay, stop kneeling, get up and change my clothes. I need to change into regular clothes before leaving the palace."
Suqiu wiped her tears, stood up and helped Zhu Wuhuan to change clothes in the back.
She picked out a goose yellow dress that Queen Zhu used to wear when she returned to the Zhu family and gave it to Zhu Wuhuan to change into, and also combed Zhu Wuhuan's hair again.
The complicated bun worn in the palace was replaced with a single spiral bun commonly worn by ladies from wealthy families. Zhu Wuhuan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and felt that her simple appearance at this moment was more like her in the 21st century.
The heavy makeup before...
It doesn't suit her very well.
After packing everything up, Zhu Wuhuan asked Suqiu to put the imperial edict in a cloth bag. Then, like a deposed queen who had been expelled from the palace, he walked out of Changle Palace with a sullen face.
Two hundred imperial guards were already waiting outside in an orderly manner.
When they saw her come out, they all knelt down in salute in armor!
"Your subordinate pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years!"
Zhu Wuhuan looked at this scene and thought, how great!
It would be even better if she killed the tyrant and became the empress, with everyone kowtowing and shouting "Long live the emperor!"
"..." Not far away, Feng Changye, who had also changed into casual clothes, closed his fan with a swish, put the handle of the fan against his forehead, and stared at Zhu Wuhuan sinisterly!
woman!
I respect you for your courage!
