Chapter 368 Banished to the Cold Palace

The two were stunned when they heard the words of the Regent.

The other ministers looked at the two men as if they were idiots.

Why, when the Regent asked them if they had any objections, they had objections?

What was on their necks was not a head at all, but a ball.

The two had just taken office, and their official hats were taken off their heads. They could not accept it at all.

Lin Fu immediately raised his head in panic and asked loudly: "Your Majesty, I should not have done anything wrong, why do you want to dismiss me!"

When he questioned Ling Fengxun, Chen Qingxian reacted and immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I know my crime, please forgive me!"

Although he didn't know where he was wrong, he was still very smart.

He could see the difference in the attitudes of the old ministers around him.

He originally thought that he would be able to show his power in the court and show himself well when he took office, but he messed it up.

Both of them are newcomers in the officialdom.

After the previous Yu Shi and the Minister of Revenue were dismissed, they replaced them.

Normally, Ling Fengxun would not punish ministers easily. He was very kind to most of the officials in the court. It was rare to hear of anyone being punished for contradicting the Regent.

Therefore, they were a little arrogant when they were promoted and could not help but say a few more words in the court.

However, they did not expect that the consequences would be so serious.

But they thought they were right!

Nanqi and Beiling had already had an alliance. Why did Beiling take the initiative to destroy the peace that was finally achieved?

Moreover, at the beginning of the year, Beifeng City suffered a disaster. Even though the losses had been minimized, many people were killed and injured! When

Ling Fengxun heard the questioning, his eyes narrowed instantly, and there was a sense of danger in his expression.

"Because, I don't like others to question my decision."

Since the other party wanted an answer, Ling Fengxun gave him the answer.

After saying this, the expression on his face was restrained, and he directly ordered: "Come, take them away."

A group of guards rushed in from outside the door.

Those people were carrying knives, and in the blink of an eye they surrounded the two and dragged them out without any courtesy.

It has been a long time since the Regent showed his power, and the ministers almost forgot what kind of person Ling Fengxun was.

The civil and military officials who saw this scene immediately lowered their heads quietly, and all knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"Long live the Regent!"

There was not much emotion in Ling Fengxun's eyes.

"Dismiss the court."

All the ministers left the Golden Palace in an orderly manner, and no one said a word. As for what would happen to the two people before, no one cared.

After all, their predecessors who were punished before them did not have a good fate. These two were only dismissed from their posts, which was already a very light punishment.

Eunuch Xu came over from the side with some young eunuchs. He first saluted Ling Fengxun respectfully, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, the deposed queen is now in poor health. Are we going to send her to the cold palace now?"

A gloomy look flashed across Ling Fengxun's eyes.

He said coldly: "Just don't let her die."

After saying this, Ling Fengxun slowly stood up and straightened his wrinkled robe.

The dragon throne was empty, and the little emperor who was the mascot before was nowhere to be seen.

Eunuch Xu immediately followed him, and then spoke again cautiously: "Today, the prince only dealt with the queen, as for the emperor..."

Ling Fengxun knew what Eunuch Xu wanted to ask. He pondered for a moment, raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "He is still useful."

"Yes."

Eunuch Xu understood and sent Ling Fengxun away.

The prince's meaning was very clear. If she was useless, it would be time for Ling Changyue to die.

Xu Meir was banished to the cold palace, and she was not allowed to live in the side hall. As soon as the ministers left the court that day, she was carried to the cold palace by several palace servants.

The only person who followed her into the cold palace was a palace maid she brought from the Southern Qi Kingdom.

Because of the shock, Xu Meir was still in a coma at first, as if she had a very deep nightmare.

In the nightmare, she gave birth to a child with great difficulty, but the child turned into a monster that could eat people.

"Ah!"

Xu Meir woke up from her dream with a scream.

The little palace maid with red eyes from crying immediately ran over, took the relatively clean handkerchief in her hand, and wiped her cheek.

"Your Highness, you're awake!"

Xu Meir's eyes were blurry at first, and she took a long breath before she raised her eyes and saw the face of the palace maid in front of her clearly.

"Xiao Die?"

The palace maid called Xiao Die's eyes immediately turned red: "It's me."

Xu Meir was carried here by someone, so she didn't know that she had been banished to the cold palace. She looked around with a pale face, and took a look at the unfamiliar environment around her, her eyes full of confusion.

She thought she was dreaming.

"Where is this?"

Xiao Die's lips trembled, and she finally spoke: "It's the cold palace."

The room in the cold palace was dark and damp, exuding a rotten smell.

The paper on the window had long been torn and rustled when the wind blew. The furnishings in the room were simple, with a shabby bed and several moldy beddings.

There were spider webs in the corners that no one had cleaned. This shabby environment made Xu Meir, who had never suffered such a hardship, look dazed and incredulous.

"Cold palace?"

Her lips trembled as she uttered these two words word by word.

Her stiff head seemed to be able to move again at this moment. Everything that happened last night came back to her mind bit by bit.

She was tortured by Hu Lier.

The stinging pain after the silver needle pierced her body was unbearable for her, so that the baby in her belly was born prematurely.

As if she thought of something, Xu Meir immediately raised her hand and stroked her belly.

It was very flat, without the previous curve .

"Where's the child? The child!"

Xu Meir's eyes widened in fear, and she was about to climb up from the bed to look for the child in her belly.

Seeing that she was so weak and wanted to get up, Xiaodie immediately held her down with heartache: "Your Highness, listen to me, the child in your belly is dead."

"Dead?"

Xu Meir couldn't believe it, but the light in her eyes flashed, and she suddenly remembered the last scene before she fainted.

The child she gave birth to at the cost of her life was held in her arms, and then she saw a monster that looked like flesh and blood.

"Monster! Ah, there is a monster!"

Xu Meir's spirit seemed to have been hit hard, and she immediately screamed.

Such a voice was like a fierce ghost in this empty cold palace.

Xiaodie's eyes were full of tears, and she hugged the princess.

"Don't be afraid, princess, I am still with you."

However, Xu Meir couldn't hear what she said at all. The expression on her face gradually became distorted, and she was about to get out of bed with her weak body.

"They must have replaced my child. How could that monster be born by me? It's not. I'm going to find my prince!"
