Feng Changye tried hard to appear gentle, glanced at her, played with her fingers, and continued to speak to the ministers.
"This is how I treat the Queen. I don't care who she loved before she married me. What I care about is whether she has done anything to let me down after becoming Queen."
"Obviously, she didn't."
"When the Prince of Jin showed disloyalty towards me and attempted to seize my throne, the Empress resolutely chose to sever her past ties, cursed the Prince of Jin, and sever her ties with him, siding with me."
"In my eyes, the Queen is pure and innocent. I will not allow anyone to slander her—"
Having said that, he glanced at the ministers indifferently.
"Do you remember what I said?"
"I will keep this in mind!"
The nobles kowtowed, their eyes reddening as they earnestly flattered him, "Your Majesty is truly the best husband in the world! Upon returning home, we will immediately copy down these wise words and spread them out to warn the world!"
Feng Changye thought, there is no need to be so exaggerated.
He continued, "After the Prince of Jin is imprisoned, rumors about the past relationship between the Prince of Jin and the Queen will undoubtedly spread among the Queen Mother and the Prince of Jin's residence. If you hear slander against the Queen one day, do you know what to do?"
The officials all said in unison, "We, the officials, will do our utmost to personally prove the Queen's innocence today!"
Feng Changye nodded with satisfaction, "My dear ministers, you have won my heart."
Once again, the officials chorused, "To receive His Majesty's words, we, the ministers, will serve Him wholeheartedly!"
“…” Zhu Wuhuan looked at the harmonious scene between the monarch and his ministers and felt like laughing.
This is not harmony between the monarch and his subjects, this is just commercial flattery!
She tried hard to suppress her laughter.
Thinking of Feng Changye's words just now about believing in her and protecting her, she couldn't help but secretly turn her head to look at Feng Changye.
This tyrant actually has the potential to be a good husband...
What a pity, he shouldn’t be a homosexual!
What’s good about him only belongs to Eunuch Yuan.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wuhuan suddenly lost interest.
It’s tiring enough to compete with women for women, and it’s even more tiring to compete with men for men. How can you fall in love if you are of different genders?
So don’t even be attracted to this kind of man!
The supporting female characters in BL novels are the best lessons for us!
"..." Feng Changye heard her inner thoughts and wanted to kill someone again.
He will never be done with the word "Duanxiu" in his life!
Prince Jin Feng Changjin knelt there silently, watching Zhu Wuhuan secretly go to see Feng Changye.
A hint of sarcasm appeared on his thin lips.
Are you so touched?
You love your brother so much now, right?
This woman is so gullible, tsk!
She was deceived by his sweet words in the past, and now, she was deceived by her royal brother again!
This woman had never received his love, and he believed that she would not receive it from her royal brother either!
My royal brother is the ruler of the world, a dignified emperor, and owns six palaces!
How could an emperor be in love with only one woman in his entire life?
What’s more, this emperor had just wanted to execute the entire Zhu family, and even she, the queen, was almost deposed?
She actually believed that such a ruthless emperor would really love her?
How stupid!
Haha, he will wait and see what happens to this woman when she betrays him and joins the arms of her royal brother!
She won't have a good ending!
Soon, Ji Yunchang led a team of imperial guards in. They immediately put shackles on the King of Jin and asked him to stand up and leave with them.
If you don't cooperate, they will naturally take action themselves!
King Jin sneered.
He had already seen through his current situation. In order to avoid being dragged away without dignity, he stood up and left with them.
When he reached the door of the study, he turned around and looked at Feng Changye, "Brother Emperor, I am innocent. You may not believe me, but the Queen Mother will believe my innocence!"
Feng Changye said nothing and watched him walk away indifferently.
He didn't say anything because he knew that as his brother, he could never compete with the King of Jin in the eyes of his mother.
Only after Prince Jin's figure completely disappeared did Feng Changye show a trace of fatigue.
He rubbed his brows and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear ministers. Please leave."
The adults also heard what King Jin said before he left.
They looked at the emperor with pity and knelt in greeting.
When only Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan were left in the study, Feng Changye sighed softly, "Although Prince Jin has been imprisoned and this worry has been resolved, the problem with Queen Mother is..."
He shook his head. "There's more trouble to come! I'll have many more headaches in the future!"
He looked up at Zhu Wuhuan with a hint of sarcasm, "I have imprisoned Prince Jin, and my mother will not let it go. But if it was Prince Jin who killed me, would my mother still be so angry with him?"
Zhu Wuhuan looked at the vulnerability he showed at the moment and couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.
A voice in her heart said.
[That's unfortunate, she really can't.]
[Historically, you died suddenly three years later, and the Empress Dowager didn't even attend your funeral!]
According to historical records, after your sudden death, the Empress Dowager was so grief-stricken that she fell ill and was unable to get out of bed, so she was unable to attend your funeral.
【but! 】
[Seven days later, she attended the ceremony of the King of Jin's enthronement, dressed in all her finery, and personally placed the crown on the King of Jin's head.]
[Seven days ago, I was too ill to see you off. Even though I was so seriously ill, I was able to stay healthy and accompany Prince Jin to the throne seven days later. Tsk tsk…]
Whether she was ill or not, we don't know. Anyway, during the twenty years that Prince Jin was emperor, the mother and son had a very good relationship. Historical records even specifically praised them, saying they were role models of loving mother and filial piety.
[Later, few people suspected that your sudden death was caused by the Prince of Jin. This was probably due to the Empress Dowager's attitude.]
Because everyone thinks that if it was Prince Jin who killed you, then the Queen Mother, as your mother, couldn't possibly have no rift with Prince Jin. They had such a good relationship, so there's definitely no grudge against him for killing her.
She glanced at the tyrant and thought with more pity.
"Alas, you're so glorious now, but in history, you died alone and in the cold. Your eunuch Yuan also died with you. Unofficial history says he died for love. But as your confidant, you were killed. Who knows how he died...?"
[As for your concubines in the harem, you had already killed them all, and you had no children, so... only a group of ministers, pretending to cry, carried your coffin and sent you off.]
"So, big brother, even if you adore Eunuch Yuan, please don't brutally kill all the concubines in the harem. Otherwise, when you die, you'll die alone and lonely, without even a funeral attendant! At least leave a few behind to burn paper for you!"
“…” Feng Changye felt complicated.
He admitted that he had deliberately said those words in front of her and pretended to be vulnerable, just to test whether he could hear something from her about the empress dowager in history.
However, he did not expect to hear the truth that his departure was so desolate and lonely.
