Chapter 148 Do You Know You Deserve to Die?
The bed was soaked with blood.
Already at the Queen Mother's feet.
The smell of blood is pungent.
The Queen Mother looked dejected. "Emperor, you are truly my good son. You can actually come up with such a vicious method! I was in pain for three whole hours in order to give birth to you. In order for you to be favored by the late Emperor, I did not hesitate to let you live with the Queen and endure the pain of separation every day!"
Zhang Chengyan was unmoved, "Mother, if you hadn't interfered in my affairs, what happened today wouldn't have happened."
"That's for your own good!"
"But I am the emperor!" Zhang Chengyan suddenly threw away his sword. The loud noise scared Wang Decai so much that he trembled.
"I am the Son of Heaven above all people! Mother, you are just a woman, yet you dare to stand above me! Go ask, everyone in the previous dynasty knows that I even have to listen to you when selecting a concubine. Where do you put my dignity!"
The Queen Mother opened her mouth but had nothing to refute.
She had indeed gone too far. She relied on the fact that she was Zhang Chengyan's biological mother and the obligation of filial piety, and had never expected that this day would come.
"Emperor, I..."
Zhang Chengyan didn't want to hear more from her. "Which path do you choose?"
"I choose the first one."
"Okay, from today on, mother, you will stay in Yongshou Palace and enjoy your old age. Don't even think about taking another step out!"
Zhang Chengyan took a step forward and looked down at the woman who had given birth to him. "Mother, do you want to live a good life in Yongshou Palace, or a bad life?"
Once the door of Yongshou Palace is closed, how the empress dowager lives will depend entirely on Zhang Chengyan's words.
The Queen Mother looked up in disbelief, "It's not enough that you have imprisoned me, what else do you want?"
"I still want the Zhenguogong Mansion."
…
Late at night.
The gate of Yongshou Palace was closed.
From today on, this door will never be opened again.
From now on, palace servants will deliver meals and other things to the small gate every day.
But the people inside, don't even think about taking a single step out.
Wang Decai didn't dare to breathe and followed Zhang Chengyan carefully.
The emperor is becoming more and more powerful now. If he didn't have to consider filial piety, he would probably kill the empress dowager with a single sword!
Return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Zhang Chengyan lay on the bed, feeling relaxed all over.
The shackles that had bound him every day were finally released!
No one will be able to restrict him from now on, never again!
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Wen Ruyun woke up earlier than usual.
The emperor was no longer by my side, and it was cold under the quilt.
The morning court hasn't started yet, right?
She stood up and walked barefoot on the ground, "Where is the emperor?"
No one in the palace paid any attention to her.
Wen Ruyun frowned and walked up to a palace maid, "I want to ask you a question, where is the emperor?"
The maid just looked at her coldly and didn't say anything.
"Are you dumb? How dare you not reply to my words? Believe it or not, I will let the emperor chop off your head!"
The maid sneered, "You'd better take care of your head first."
Wen Ruyun stood there in a daze. How dare a mere servant talk to her like that!
"You slut, you're really courting death!"
She raised her hand high, but before she could lower it, the palace maid grabbed it and said, "Hurry up and hold her down, or she will go crazy and break things in the Yangxin Palace. The emperor will punish us when he comes."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other palace maids rushed forward and surrounded her.
Wen Ruyun was completely confused at this point and had no idea what was going on.
How dare these slaves lay hands on her?
It's like the sun is rising from the west!
"you……"
Before he finished speaking, several palace maids had already held Wen Ruyun down.
"Let me go, you are so brave! Someone, these slaves are committing treason! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
…
The morning court is over.
Zhang Chengyan returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
Wang Decai reported in a low voice, "Early this morning, Lady Wen was clamoring to see you, but was held down by the palace maid."
"Yeah." Now that the matter of the Queen Mother has been resolved, there is naturally no need to put on a show with Wen Ruyun anymore.
Zhang Chengyan walked to the bedroom, and before he even entered the door, he heard Wen Ruyun's scolding.
"You bunch of slaves, when the emperor comes, I will chop off your heads!"
"How dare you attack me? You are so bold!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Go and call the Emperor! I want to see the Emperor!"
Wen Ruyun’s voice almost became hoarse from shouting.
Seeing Zhang Chengyan appear, she immediately grasped at a life-saving straw, "Your Majesty, you are finally here, you have to make the decision for me, these palace maids are actually bullying me!"
Zhang Chengyan walked up to her and asked, "Do you know that you deserve to die?"
Wen Ruyun fell silent instantly, her face turning pale, "Your Majesty, I...I don't understand."
"You have bullied Concubine Zhao several times. If you were not still useful, I would have killed you long ago!"
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I am Ruyun... your most beloved Ruyun!" Wen Ruyun couldn't believe it. They had been in love day and night, and they had even reached the peak of bliss several times last night.
How come the emperor suddenly seems like a different person?
Did Concubine Zhao say something?
"Your Majesty, did Concubine Zhao say something bad about me? You can't believe her. She is just jealous of your favor!"
Zhang Chengyan had already reached the limit of his patience, "It's already this time, and you still dare to bite Concubine Zhao!"
He raised his leg and kicked Wen Ruyun to the ground.
Wen Ruyun curled up in pain, "Your Majesty..."
"I have never liked you, let alone touched your body! I only drugged you before. What you did to Concubine Zhao is enough for you to die a hundred times!"
Wen Ruyun felt as if struck by lightning, and stood frozen in place.
The emperor never touched her?
This...how is this possible!
"Your Majesty, this must be all fake. Did I do something that made you angry with me?"
Wen Ruyun endured the pain and crawled to Zhang Chengyan's feet, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please don't scare me, okay?"
Zhang Chengyan kicked her away, disgusted, "Wang Decai, send her to Zhaochun Palace. I don't want to see her now. If it wasn't for venting Concubine Zhao's anger, you would be dead now!"
Before Wen Ruyun could speak again, Wang Decai had already brought people to block her mouth and nose and dragged her away.
"Your Majesty, are you leaving Wen Ruyun to Empress Zhao to handle?"
“Well, Concubine Zhao has suffered a lot of grievances because of her this time, so let her handle it.”
…
"Madam!" Chan'er rushed in, her eyes wide open, "Several eunuchs and palace maids are carrying Lady Wen over here like they're carrying a pig. What's going on? Did she make the emperor angry?"
Bai Wutong was not surprised. "Let them send the person in. You will know what is going on in a moment. By the way, go and call Duan Chunrou over. It will be a good opportunity for her to watch the show as well."
