Jingyang Palace.
"Master, the maid you sent to Zhaochun Palace was executed by His Majesty."
Xiang Ling's face was pale and her whole body was trembling. She walked quickly to Concubine Ye with a look of horror and reported.
When Concubine Ye heard this, her eyes darkened instantly and her expression became extremely ugly.
Sure enough, it was exactly what she had imagined before.
Even if His Majesty wanted to deal with the Su family, he never had the idea of deposing the Imperial Noble Consort.
Your Majesty has only stayed at the Imperial Noble Consort's house before. Even though she and Concubine Lin have been favored by the emperor recently, Your Majesty has never slept on the same bed with them.
All of His Majesty's special treatments are only for the Imperial Concubine, and His Majesty's love for the Imperial Concubine is absolutely true.
Even if the Su family is destroyed, the imperial concubine will still be enthroned as queen!
Concubine Ye gritted her teeth, a sinister glint in her eyes.
How could she allow such a thing to happen? His Majesty dealt with the Su family without telling the Imperial Noble Concubine, and even attempted to enthrone the Imperial Noble Concubine as the Queen, but this also required the Imperial Noble Concubine to be willing.
Could the Imperial Concubine accept that the man beside her was the enemy who had exterminated her clan?
snort.
Although today's move is extremely risky, the benefits are even greater. I'm afraid that the Imperial Concubine has already become alienated from Your Majesty.
Now that she has a child, Your Majesty will not be too cruel to her in any way.
As long as the Imperial Noble Consort is dealt with, Concubine Lin will just be infertile, and she can do whatever she wants with her.
Thinking of this, Concubine Ye's mouth curled up slightly.
Zhaochun Palace.
Time passed quietly like flowing water, and before I knew it, more than a month had passed.
Su Jingyao stayed indoors all day long, but every three days, she would summon the female officials from the six palaces to handle the affairs of the six palaces. She did not ignore these matters because of her depressed mood.
The Queen Mother now often worships Buddha devoutly in the Buddhist temple and seems to be indifferent to the affairs of Jun Zechen's harem. Unless something big happens, she will not come out easily.
For more than a month, Jun Zechen was ruthlessly blocked outside the gate of Zhaochun Palace every time he came.
He could only helplessly listen to Doctor Li report on Su Jingyao's physical condition. When he learned that she still insisted on handling the affairs of the six palaces while she was ill, he felt even more pity and worry in his heart.
He could only ask Doctor Li to tell her to have a good rest.
Today, all the ministers who were sent by Jun Zechen to various cities for secret operations finally returned to Beijing. The results they brought back naturally made Jun Zechen extremely satisfied.
When attending court, Jun Zechen sat majestically on the dragon throne, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
In front of all the ministers, Anshun read out the imperial edict:
"I have been blessed by Heaven to inherit the throne, rule the world, and govern the people.
However, after detailed investigations and thorough verifications, it was discovered that the Ye family, a prominent family with a history of over a hundred years, actually had evil intentions and secretly trained soldiers in many cities of the Kingdom.
Such vile behavior is clearly an attempt to rebel and usurp the throne, and to overturn the rules and regulations of our dynasty. It is a serious crime of treason and is unforgivable.
Therefore, it is hereby ordered that from this day forward, Grand Commander Ye shall be demoted to a commoner and all his previous official posts and honorary titles shall be stripped away.
All the patriarchs of the Ye family branches who train private soldiers in various cities are guilty of heinous crimes and cannot be tolerated. They must all be executed immediately to uphold the law and maintain the stability of the country.
The entire Ye family will be exiled to a cold and bitter borderland from now on, and will never be allowed to return to the capital. They must reflect on their mistakes, take this as a warning, and serve as a warning to others.
I hereby order you."
The ministers looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. They really didn't understand what was going on and why it happened so suddenly.
Doesn’t Your Majesty want to deal with the Su family?
Even the Imperial Noble Consort stayed indoors in Zhaochun Palace. Wasn't it His Majesty who ordered her to be confined to her room?
Concubine Ye is pregnant with the royal heir. Could it be that all this is a lie?
The ministers secretly looked up at Jun Zechen who was sitting on the dragon throne. Because he was wearing a crown and the long beads blocked his majestic face, the emperor's expression could not be seen at all.
At this moment, they only felt a chill in their hearts.
The current His Majesty's stern face in the court seems to be covered by frost all year round. Compared with the previous emperor, he reveals a more frightening ruthlessness.
His methods of doing things are as fierce as thunder, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking.
After Jun Zechen left the court, he walked hurriedly with an anxious look on his face, and couldn't wait to rush to Zhaochun Palace.
At this time, the gate of Zhaochun Palace was still tightly closed as usual. Jun Zechen said in a deep voice: "Anshun, knock on the door."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Following behind His Majesty, Anshun walked forward and knocked on the door of Zhaochun Palace. Over the past month, Anshun had repeated this action countless times.
Apart from the Imperial Noble Consort, who else in the harem dares to refuse entry to Your Majesty?
After Anshun knocked a few times, the young eunuch inside opened the door. Seeing the emperor coming in person, he was so scared that he knelt down immediately.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Afterwards, Jun Zechen walked straight into the room with a stern expression without saying a word.
But the young eunuch had received orders from his master not to let anyone into Zhaochun Palace, so he could only bite the bullet and tremble as he said, "Your Majesty, the master said she won't see anyone."
When Jun Zechen passed by the young eunuch, he glanced at him coldly. The coldness in his eyes made the young eunuch feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
Then Jun Zechen walked quickly into Zhaochun Palace with an expressionless face.
Anshun followed behind His Majesty and shook his head slightly.
As expected of a servant in the Imperial Concubine's palace, he is really courageous.
Miaoxia was startled when she saw His Majesty coming in, then she quickly bowed and said, "Your servant greets His Majesty."
"Where is your master?"
"The master is in the study." Miaoxia replied with her head down.
