Chapter 88: Causing a Commotion in the Imperial Palace, the Emperor Saves the Situation
"I dare not!" The emperor hastily apologized.
"Despicable!" I scorned the so-called emperor in my heart. Wasn't he supposed to avenge Yan Jie? How could he be so blinded by his mother's words? Unreliable and untrustworthy, he was truly a shame to the world!
"The Queen's affair is indeed my responsibility, but Ping'er's affair is also the Queen's responsibility. Your Majesty, what do you think should be done?" The Empress Dowager pressed on.
"Uh...this..."
"In my humble opinion, the Empress intended to harm the Princess and should be severely punished!" The Dowager's tone was full of satisfaction.
As the Emperor was in a dilemma, Qi'er stepped forward: "If Grand Empress Dowager insists on punishing Mother Empress, then punish me along with her!"
"Qī ér, this is not a place for you to be reckless." The empress dowager scolded.
Qier's expression didn't change: "I, as the crown prince, guarantee that Mother Empress is not this kind of person. If you, Grandmother, have made up your mind to punish Mother Empress, then I will be punished together with her."
"Qi'er, are you threatening the imperial family?" The empress dowager was enraged. "You, this crown prince, are indecisive and incompetent. You might as well be deposed! After all, the emperor's concubines have also given birth to princes."
At this time, the emperor finally couldn't bear it: "Empress Dowager, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end. Whether the Empress really poisoned and harmed her sister or someone intentionally framed the Empress with an unjust crime, I will find out. You must be tired from being busy all day, I'll escort you back to the palace!"
"Your Majesty, you..." The Empress Dowager saw that she was "abandoned by all", with no one standing on her side, and finally turned to leave in anger.
Jun Qinzhong turned around and looked at Lin Xuan's face. At this time, she was leaning on the table, playing with the teacup in her hand, muttering to herself.
"Yan'er, it's all my fault for not protecting you well." As he spoke, his expression was sorrowful and pitiful, evoking sympathy from anyone who saw him. But there were two people who felt otherwise. One was me, standing aside with a cold gaze, and the other was Lin Xuan Yan, who had now lost her mind.
I have a little donkey that I never ride, one day I rode it to the street to go to the fair...... The queen raised her cup and looked left and right, apparently she didn't hear what the emperor said at all.
"Yan'er, are you punishing me? Am I wrong? How can you forgive me?" Jun Qinzhu said and stepped forward to hold Lin Xuan's hand.
Lin Xuan's face turned sideways, her two eyes gazing at him with a vacant expression. Then she jumped back and dodged Jun Qinzhu. "Who is he? I don't recognize him!" Lin Xuan shook her head, then held up the teacup and hummed a tune as she walked towards the inner hall. Jun Qinzhu stood still for a long time, finally letting out a deep sigh before turning around to leave.
The queen and the emperor, what exactly happened between them? I, who was standing by, couldn't understand why they were so entangled and hurt each other. The queen and the emperor, I can see that they once loved each other. But why does Concubine Yan's hatred for the emperor seem to have not faded with time, but instead deepened?
Is it really true that: the deeper the love, the greater the hatred?
What exactly happened between the two of them seven years ago? I have a premonition that the mastermind behind the current situation between Yan Jie and the Emperor is none other than the Crown Prince who went missing for seven years - Jun Mingshuai!
In my dictionary, there are only two words that summarize the signs of life - birth and death. Missing? Not considered dead, then Junmingtai must still be alive!
