Chapter 224 I owe him my whole life
As soon as Yun Zhao was thrown into prison, Imperial Noble Consort Chen arrived.
Yun Zhao was sitting on the ground playing chess with himself.
Imperial Noble Consort Chen said angrily, "You're so good, you still have the mind to play tricks. This is because Consort Ying deliberately picked a big one. If you are charged with disobeying the emperor's order, you will be in big trouble!"
Imperial Noble Consort Chen was so upset that she asked someone to move Yun Zhao to a comfortable and clean cell.
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter where I am. I've experienced all kinds of hardships."
She was the daughter of a poor family. Although she was loved by her family, she still suffered a lot. Later, when she joined the army, it went even further and she was treated like a man.
After days of being in the wind and rain, this cell is now more comfortable.
"You're so confused. Why would you sacrifice yourself for such a bastard? If you don't like Lin Ruyu, you can just find a reason to kill her later. Why bother?"
Yun Zhao smiled.
She knew that Imperial Noble Consort Chen was annoyed with her impulsiveness, but they both knew that as long as Xie Jingmo was standing in front of Lin Ruyu, this matter would not be so simple.
Yun Zhao endured and lay dormant for so long before he got this result.
"It's not a loss at all," Yun Zhao smiled, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
Imperial Noble Consort Chen handed Yun Zhao a thick quilt and pillow. "We came so hastily. I'll have someone send some more tomorrow. Do you think you're missing anything?"
Yun Zhao was thin, and his loose prison uniform was loose on his body.
"No, but I have something to trouble you with."
Imperial Noble Consort Chen said, "You speak."
Yun Zhao then knelt solemnly, "Xie Jingmo always said that I am poor but ambitious, and I am very proud and arrogant. I knelt on my knees, but I never really knelt in my heart.
Now I kneel down and ask you for one thing, I hope you can agree to it."
Imperial Noble Consort Chen frowned. "Just say it. Why are you kneeling down? Stand up first."
Through the cell, Imperial Noble Concubine Chen could not reach Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Let me kneel down and talk. I don't have many opportunities left. This time, Concubine Yi has caught me by surprise. She will definitely kill me by using the power of the Chang family.
I had anticipated this long ago, so it's okay. I just ask you not to tell Mu Chengyan about this.
He finally managed to leave the imperial city, just to live the rest of his life comfortably in Liziguai. He didn't say it, and I didn't ask, but I knew he left Liziguai for me.
I owe him this for my whole life. Now I can't drag him down with this anymore. He is the regent, but he is the emperor's regent.
If he disobeys the emperor's order, there are many people in the palace who want him dead. If they use his life to exchange for mine, I will never live in peace.
The baby in your belly is safe. As long as you take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine I give you on time, the baby will be healthy and safe.
So, I beg you, and Queen Yun Zhao is being shameless. I will ask for a merit today, but please don't tell Mu Chengyan about my affairs. In the future, I will pray every day for your and the princess's health, peace and harmony."
Imperial Noble Consort Chen frowned, "But are you willing to accept this? Lin Ruyu is not the only one who murdered your father."
Imperial Noble Consort Chen attempted to use hatred to awaken Yun Zhao's fighting spirit.
Yun Zhao smiled.
The smile is full of meaning.
She stood in the prison without saying a word. Concubine Chen was shocked when she saw her smile!
"you……"
Yun Zhao said, "Those who are supposed to come will come, and those who are supposed to leave will definitely leave. Your blessings, Imperial Noble Consort Chen, are yet to come."
Concubine Chen left in a daze. When she left, Yun Zhao said, "The prison is dark and damp. Don't come here again."
Concubine Chen walked a long way away, and the prison door slowly closed. She turned around and saw Yun Zhao standing inside, smiling at her faintly.
That smile was full of farewell.
Xie Jingmo went to find the emperor and stumbled open the door of the imperial study.
The ministers were discussing matters inside.
The emperor frowned and said, "Thank you, General. I am discussing the flood in Jiangnan here. If you have anything to do, please go out and wait."
Xie Jingmo stood at the door, showing no intention of leaving.
Fu Hai whispered to Xie Jingmo, "General, please follow me out. When the emperor summons you, come back in."
Xie Jingmo didn't say anything, nor did he move. He just stared at the emperor, not avoiding his gaze.
The emperor felt a heavy rage in his chest. "Xie Jingmo! I told you to leave first, didn't you hear me?"
Xie Jingmo knelt down with a thud, "Please, Your Majesty, release Yun Zhao."
The emperor was speechless. He rolled his eyes and said, "I've already told you to wait until things here are settled before you come in. Is your little trouble more important than the lives of thousands of people in the floods in Jiangnan?!"
Xie Jingmo knelt at the door, "Yes! In my heart, Yun Zhao's life and death are more important than anyone else!"
The emperor gasped!
There are some words that can be kept in your heart but can never be spoken out loud!
Otherwise it would be a big taboo!
The emperor was so angry that he threw a piece of ink, which hit Xie Jingmo on the head, and the black ink dripped down his face.
Xie Jingmo was still kneeling, not moving at all.
Finally, the emperor was furious and called a dozen guards to carry the man out.
After the others had thrown it out, the emperor rubbed his forehead and said to the ministers below the stage: "Impatientness leads to confusion. The nonsense Xie Jingmo said tonight must not be leaked!"
Only after everything was discussed did the emperor let Xie Jingmo in.
Fu Hai stood at the door and asked his men to disperse.
The emperor roared angrily the next second, "Xie Jingmo, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about in front of so many ministers in the court just now?"
"Besides, you are the one who requested the imperial edict. You should know the consequences. If you are not sure that you can control Yun Zhao with this, then you should not have come to request this imperial edict. You are embarrassing me as well as you!"
"Now that Lin Ruyu is dead, and in public, what do you want me to do? If I really release Yun Zhao, everyone will accuse me of favoring the harem. What do you want me to do?!"
The emperor rubbed his sore temples, "Concubine Yi and the Chang family have been putting pressure on me. Recently, there has been a tendency for enemy troops to invade the border. All of this requires the support of the Chang family army.
It seems that only Lin Ruyu died, but there are many things involved. Can you please consider my life or death?"
The emperor was very irritated. "If I had known earlier, I would have given up this lousy emperorship. It's such a headache! Tell me, if you let me release Yun Zhao, how am I going to explain this to the outside world? Come on, tell me."
Originally, Lin Ruyu's death would not be a big deal.
Everything changed as soon as Xie Jingmo asked for permission!
Putting it on the table, Lin Ruyu's death is no longer important. What is important is the crime of disobeying the imperial edict, which is punishable by death!
The emperor was so angry that he walked back and forth in the room several times.
Finally, he looked at Xie Jingmo and asked, "No, tell me first. When you came to ask for an imperial decree before, you looked so determined. You knew the consequences of disobeying an imperial decree. Why are you suddenly pleading for Yun Zhao?"
