Drunk Bamboo

"His Majesty ordered the three of us to investigate the Crown Prince. We entered the palace at night because we have something important to discuss with His Majesty. Please inform him, eunuch."

Among the three, Luo Yuan is the calmest and most rational.

"His Majesty is angry and will not see anyone tonight. Please return home, my three lords." Eunuch Dong advised kindly.

I was extremely anxious.

I hope they leave quickly.

A wave of waves has risen again.

An eunuch who stayed in Fu'an Palace to serve the emperor came running over in a panic:

"Eunuch, the Queen is in Fu'an Palace, arguing with His Majesty, and now the Emperor is furious!"

"Ouch!"

After hearing this, Eunuch Dong's legs went limp.

"Be careful, father-in-law!"

Fortunately, the eunuch beside him supported him in time and prevented him from falling.

"The three adults have heard it. There is a lot of trouble in the palace tonight. The adults should stop causing trouble and leave the palace quickly!"

After saying that, Eunuch Dong headed straight towards Fu'an Palace.

He's going to run himself to death tonight.

The three adults were left outside in the corridor, not knowing what to do.

"What the hell is this, Your Majesty?"

Wu Guanzhong finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Lord Wu, please be careful with your words." Xun Bai had a cold face and his pupils constricted.

Hua Qinming, who was riding in the sedan chair given by the emperor himself, passed by the Golden Stairs Hall and stopped in a dark corner.

Watch everything from the sidelines.

The eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair stood in the dark and in the rain, feeling cold all over and shivering.

And his boots were not even stained by the rain.

When Eunuch Dong rushed to Fu'an Palace, the emperor was already so angry that his face had turned blue.

The imperial concubine hid in a corner of the bed, feeling weak and afraid, and dared not make a sound.

The queen was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe and a phoenix hairpin on her head, standing in front of the emperor.

She has never been so dignified and majestic, like a true queen.

"I am not here to ask for anything from Your Majesty."

As soon as the queen opened her mouth, she shocked Eunuch Dong.

The voice is still familiar, but not so familiar, less gentle and more majestic.

Eunuch Dong stood inconspicuously beside the emperor, listening quietly.

The emperor stared at the queen closely, wanting to hear what she had to say and what she dared to say!

"I would like to ask Your Majesty, if it was King Wen who was impeached, would Your Majesty believe that King Wen was corrupt?"

"If the Crown Prince and King Wen were to switch places today, would Your Majesty still send King Wen to the Ministry of Justice?"

The emperor opened his eyes wide, his breathing became noticeably heavier, and he clenched his back teeth hard.

Her soft eyes showed disappointment.

The Queen sneered.

"Your Majesty cannot answer because Your Majesty favors King Wen and has a grudge against the Crown Prince."

The Emperor roared, stopping her from saying anything further.

"Empress, as the mother of a country, is this how you speak to me?"

Is she crazy?

How dare you say these words!

Seeing that he was angry, the queen was not afraid. Instead, she raised her head and took a step closer.

"Your Majesty also knows that I am the mother of a country. Your Majesty now thinks of me as the mother of a country?"

Because she is dignified and because she is the mother of the country, she cannot lose her temper or complain.

Just because she has learned etiquette since childhood, is sensible, knows her limits and has a sense of the big picture, can she allow herself to be bullied by the emperor?

Just because she took the overall situation into consideration, just because she cared about the people, just because she sacrificed herself for the country...

Can you withstand the emperor's favoritism, jealousy, suspicion, and even false accusations?

She spent her whole life cooperating with the emperor and being a queen who ruled the country.

But her Yu'er was obviously a good son, a good minister, and a good prince...

The Queen was not afraid of the Emperor's presence and said word for word:

"Your Majesty, please also think about this. Yu'er is the crown prince of a country. The previous emperor and ancestors have taught that officials have the responsibility to monitor and impeach the crown prince, but they do not have the right to detain or arrest the crown prince."

He waved his long sleeves and moved his lips slightly.

"Unless there is a personal edict from His Majesty, sealed with the Imperial Seal, you will have to be confined to the East Palace until the truth is revealed."

The Wang family of Hedong was a Confucian literary family with countless books. The empress had been well-read in poetry and literature since childhood and was familiar with laws and regulations.

Once the emperor issues this decree, the prince will be innocent, and all officials and people will think that he is an unreasonable and incompetent monarch.

It is a stain on his life.

Many people don’t know this instruction, but as an emperor, it is impossible that he doesn’t know it.

Therefore, he did not issue an explicit decree, but instead sent someone to verbally inform the censor who was on this mission.

"Queen, you are so bold!" The emperor was completely furious.

The queen was exposing him and threatening him in person.

"Is the Wang family of Hedong planning a rebellion? A prime minister is threatening me with the second-rank ministers in the court, and a queen is threatening me with the teachings of our ancestors. We are indeed a family!"

The emperor stood in front of the queen, his fingers tightly clamped around her neck, and said coldly:

"The head of all officials, the mother of a country, and the future crown prince."

"Hasn't what I've given you, the Wang family, been enough? You're chilling my heart!"

The queen's face turned red, but she did not struggle and stared at the emperor.

The imperial concubine hid aside and sneered.

Eunuch Dong stepped forward immediately, not daring to take action, and only called out, "Your Majesty, this is the Queen."

The emperor didn't let go of her hand until the queen's breathing became weak.

Eunuch Dong immediately supported the queen to prevent her from falling.

The queen gasped for breath, pushed Eunuch Dong away, and held her head high, still maintaining her dignity.

"Didn't Your Majesty first chill my heart?"

……

Wind Palace

Gu Suiyi soon appeared in Changfeng Courtyard again. This time when he came in, most of his clothes were wet.

But he didn't bother to wipe it, and instead excitedly told the news.

"Your Majesty is still in Fu'an Palace, and he did not see Prime Minister Wang and other ministers. Even Secretary Xun, Minister Wu, and Prime Minister Luo entered the palace, but they were not able to see Your Majesty."

"It seems that His Majesty is determined not to let the Crown Prince leave the Ministry of Justice prison!"

……

When Gu Suiyi came in for the third time, his face looked even more surprised.

"The Queen is showing off her anger! She is arguing with His Majesty in a loud voice, and even the palace maids and eunuchs outside the palace can hear it clearly."

"When the queen left Fu'an Palace, there was a red circle on her neck, as if she had been scratched by someone."

"Who dares to grab the Queen's neck? It can only be Your Majesty!"

"The quarrel between the emperor and the queen is even worse than that between my father and mother!"

Gu Suiyi spoke vividly as if he was telling a story.

After he finished speaking, I realized that the emperor he was talking about was Hua Qinfeng's biological father.

Gu Suiyi quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late.

He glanced at Hua Qinfeng cautiously.

Fortunately, I wasn't angry.

However, Xie Yuzhu knew how heavy Hua Qinfeng's heart was at this moment.

She did not stop Gu Suiyi from speaking because she knew that Hua Qinfeng should hear the truth.

Gu Suiyi described it as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

The listener is immersed in the scene.

"I saw the Zhang family's carriage on the way here." Gu Suiyi said with a dry mouth and poured himself a glass of water.

"The one driving the car is Butler Zhang."

Hua Qinfeng looked up suddenly, his face tense.

"Master Zhang is probably sitting inside."

Gu Suiyi guessed that he didn't know whether he should tell the news.

However, he didn't want to hide it from the two people in front of him.

Hua Qinfeng suddenly stood up and walked in front of Xie Yuzhu.

His eyes were heavy, his mouth was tightly closed, and he stared at Xie Yuzhu's face.

"My Lord, are you going to the palace?"
