Don't be clouded

Chapter 109

Today's imperial city is as solemn and silent as countless days in the past.

Countless palace people walked among the countless large and small palaces and pavilions, and everyone was busy with their own errands, such as cleaning a certain table in a certain palace, or pruning the branches and leaves of a certain crabapple tree in the imperial garden.

And the masters of the imperial city are now staying in the Wenying Hall.

In the past, when the empress dowager and the empress rarely gathered in Wenying Hall, the empress dowager came here occasionally to talk about her children, while the empress often came to serve the pen and ink in accordance with court etiquette.But at this moment, the two stayed here only because they couldn't get out.

Since the death of the third prince, the empress has become more reticent than before, like a dead tree, which has lush branches and leaves on the surface, but is completely rotten inside.She was sitting in the corner on the right side of the main hall at the moment, listening to the argument between the mother and son without saying a word.

She had expected this day to come, it was what the Ming family deserved.

"The empress mother tried her best to recommend her son in front of the emperor, just to push Mingwang out of the court battle, so that he would not suffer so much anger in it. You still say that you are not partial? But the empress mother's kindness was not favored. Report, not only the brothers are against the wall, but you are also under house arrest." Emperor Yuan Hui paced in the hall, his tone was extremely indifferent, not like talking to his biological mother, but more like facing an enemy.

The Empress Dowager was sitting on a chair, looking as if she was about to pass out of breath, while the maid beside her was stroking her chest to let her breathe.

"You are the one who sits on the throne, and you are the one who holds the power...you...you son of a bitch...if I want to be biased, I am partial to you! Instead, you are ungrateful and accuse Aijia..."

Several court ladies whispered to "Queen Dowager to calm down", and hurriedly poured tea and water.

"I'm a rebellious son?" Emperor Yuanhui sneered, and he didn't even care about the title, "Yes, I just have no skills, but who called me the eldest son of the first emperor? The throne should have been mine in the first place. I wanted to point Mingwang to a remote fiefdom, but you have been blocking it all the time, so that this scourge stayed in the capital! You are the queen of the late emperor's palace, so you should understand how important the children are in this palace, how can you Pay more attention to the young than the grown-up!"

When the anger accumulated to its peak, a crisp sound echoed in the empty hall.

The golden hairpin on the queen's head was rolling on the ground, just now was the sound when the golden hairpin fell.The graceful and well-dressed young woman raised her hand, touched the jewel-studded bun with an expressionless face, pulled out another pearl hairpin, and threw it out like feeding fish food.

Emperor Yuan Hui looked at the empress who had thrown the jewels on her head all over the floor, and cursed in a low voice: "...stop the madness."

The Wenying Hall was quiet, only the pleasant sound of gold, silver and jade falling to the ground could be heard.

The queen didn't stop until there was only an unadorned carved and hollow gold hairpin left on her bun, looked down at the luxurious mess on the ground, and said: "I brought this hairpin from my mother's house, and I will return the rest to you." Ming's home."

The Empress Dowager looked very ugly, she leaned against the maid and reprimanded: "Empress, how can you be disrespectful?"

"...Anyway, the catastrophe is imminent now, the emperor is almost desperate, and I, the empress, only have a few days left, and some things can finally be said." The empress sneered, and looked up at the mother and son, "empress dowager, you really wrong."

"What did you say..."

"But it's not that the fault is that we failed to drive Prince Xian out of Chenjing, but that we should try our best to ensure that Prince Xian ascends the throne from the very beginning." The queen showed no fear.

Emperor Yuan Hui raised his eyebrows, "Queen, what did you say?"

The woman didn't seem to notice the emperor's anger, and said again: "The one who resembles the late emperor is actually Prince Xian, right? Does your majesty know where I have lost? Because you are a waste of pampering and do not want to make progress. But you can't keep it. If you can't keep it, you should replace it with someone who has the ability to guard it. Prince Xian is more capable than His Majesty, at least he is not indecisive when he should be cruel, and even his own son can be his pawn."

Emperor Yuan Hui stood where he was, the veins on his forehead popped out of anger, he clenched his fists but did not move.

As his bedside person, the empress was involuntarily submissive in the past, but she knew his pain the most.Seeing his appearance, he actually laughed, and continued while laughing: "The Taizu is the most capable and ruthless person in your Ming family. He raises children as wolf cubs, and carefully selects one who is the most ruthless. Fierce, but... just missed it at the last moment... picked a hyena to be the emperor... how funny, a hyena..."

"You talk nonsense again," Emperor Yuan Hui gritted his teeth, "I cut your tongue."

The queen restrained her smile, and looked up coldly, "Do you dare to use the knife yourself? If you had the courage, you wouldn't be trapped here now."

There were no guards in the hall, and naturally there were no swords. Emperor Yuan Hui looked around and couldn't find anything that could be used to cut people.However, the queen had already turned her head, ignored him, and looked at the tightly closed window with empty eyes.

"But my child's surname is also Ming..." she muttered to herself, "I could have raised him to be the first benevolent emperor of the Ming family, why is it that other Ming family members are still alive, but he died at such a young age... ..."

When Mingwang left Ji Zhai, he had a face-to-face meeting with Xu Yang.They have been together for many years, and they have long been more than just master and servant, but more like old friends.But now when old friends meet, they are as unfamiliar as strangers. After all, they have left the palace and joined Ji Bieyun, so Mingwang has no reason to stop and chat with others.

He has more important things to do, and there is no delay.

After leaving the quarter residence, Prince Xian's new confidant leaned up and whispered from behind: "Everything is normal, the two armies have arrived at Tianqingyuan."

The members of the Northern Army have always been idiots, Mingwang said contemptuously in his heart, most of the members of the Yulin Army and the Longwu Army are the sons of honored nobles, and they work by the emperor's side with their shadows and power.These people have no loyalty at all, and the more powerful they are, the more they will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and follow the wind. According to the current situation, they can also tell who is stronger and who is weaker between him and Emperor Yuanhui.

Therefore, it is too easy to control the Northern Army.

Ming Wang got into the carriage, amidst the sound of the wheels running over the stone brick road, he asked through a curtain, "Cheng Feng, just now I seemed to see someone coming out from the back door of Ji's residence, did you see clearly?"

The attendant also replied respectfully through the curtain: "It's General Ji, he should be in a hurry to go to Xuanqing Mountain."

"That's right, Xuanqing Mountain...that group of monks didn't know how to change things, making people inside and outside Guanchen, and only Ji Bieyun could go to rescue them." Mingwang paused, then asked again, "What's going on in the palace? "

Cheng Feng immediately replied: "Take the queen mother and queen together to Wenying Hall and put them under house arrest. My son... the little prince is guarded by our people, so he is safe."

Prince Xian raised his eyelids when he heard the word "Shi Zi", opened a corner of the curtain, and looked out.Cheng Feng showed nervousness, apparently thinking that he would be punished for saying something wrong, but Ming Wang just ordered indifferently: "Take care of the emperor, don't let him die early, he is still useful."

"Yes." The attendant buried his head lower, "Also, the empress and the emperor had a fight, and it was a bit loud."

Mingwang raised his eyebrows, "The empress is eccentric?"

Cheng Feng didn't answer, he didn't want to talk about such things.

"Forget it, let them quarrel." Prince Xian sighed, "There is no such thing as love and affection in the emperor's family. Now that they quarrel, it's better to go to hell, and they can go to reincarnation after death."

Cheng Feng thought of the princess and the eldest son in the palace, wanted to say something but dared not say it.

The emperor's family, the person on the carriage will soon be the emperor.

The mother and son of the Tian family are making headlines, scolding the dog emperor through the mouth of the queen
