The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife
Chapter 444: A Gentle Punishment
The emperor walked quickly to the bedside and looked at the queen who had regained consciousness on the bed, his eyes full of joy.
A relieved smile appeared on his face, as happy as a child who got his favorite toy.
Tears of excitement rolled down his cheeks, and he reached out his trembling hand and gently stroked the queen's cheek.
The queen's face was as pale as paper, but her eyes were full of vitality and tenderness.
She raised her head slightly and looked at the emperor in front of her, her eyes revealing endless love and attachment.
Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she was too weak to speak. She looked so pitiful that people could not help but feel pity for her.
The two looked at each other, and where their eyes met, they were filled with deep love and care for each other.
The emotions revealed in their eyes moved everyone present.
Seeing this, everyone quietly left the Qing'an Hall at the signal of the chief eunuch in order not to disturb this rare gathering. Only the emperor and the empress were left in the hall, enjoying the tranquility and warmth.
Ouyang Yi had also been waiting outside. Seeing that everyone had left, he hurried forward to inquire about the queen's condition. When he learned that the queen's condition had improved, he finally felt relieved.
Finally, everyone gathered in the yard waiting for the emperor to come out and issue an order to deal with the queen's father.
Time passed by little by little, and a quarter of an hour had passed, but the emperor did not move at all, as if he had completely forgotten that there was a group of ministers waiting anxiously outside the door. They were extremely anxious, not knowing what would happen next.
The long wait lasted for nearly half a day before the door of the Queen's Palace finally opened slowly. Everyone's eyes were focused on the door, expecting the Emperor to appear. The Emperor walked out with a somewhat decadent look, as if he had experienced a huge blow. When he came out, he did not forget to instruct the maid to close the door and try not to disturb the Queen's rest.
When the emperor walked out of the palace, he saw many ministers still waiting there, and a trace of surprise and confusion appeared on his face. He asked, "My dear ministers, why haven't you left yet? What is your purpose of gathering here?" This sentence stunned the people present. They looked at the emperor in disbelief, with a complex emotion in their hearts.
Did the emperor forget that the queen's father had held the master hostage and attempted a rebellion? The cold body was still lying in the imperial study. How could the emperor forget this so easily? Or was the emperor deliberately playing dumb?
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer the emperor's question. They originally thought that the emperor would deal with the rebellion next, but now it seems that the situation has become confusing. The emperor's attitude made them confused and uneasy. No one could predict how this palace turmoil would develop.
Ouyang Yi reminded softly: "Your Majesty... how to deal with Fan Yao's body in the Imperial Study?"
After Ouyang Yi's reminder, the emperor came back to his senses. He looked at the people who heard the news and rushed to rescue him, and said with a complicated expression: "I believe you have all heard about Fan Yao's matter. Although he deserves death, the queen tried her best to save me, and she is grateful to me."
"The Queen is very righteous. She has just been persuading me to handle this matter impartially in the room."
"But I thought about it and realized that it is not a pity for a person like Fan Yao to die. However, the Queen has done a great job in saving the emperor, so the merits and demerits offset each other. I plan not to punish other members of the Shangshu Mansion, but only Shangshu Fan."
"Since Minister Fan has committed suicide to apologize, I have decided not to pursue this matter any further. The Queen has made great contributions in rescuing me, but she will not be rewarded. No one in the Shangshu Mansion will be implicated in this incident. I hope to gain your support and understanding," the Emperor said in a sincere and firm tone.
The ministers present exchanged glances, knowing that this was the result of the Queen's plea to the Emperor. However, they were not satisfied with this way of handling the case. After all, Minister Fan's crime was serious and he should be punished more severely. But facing the Emperor's decision, they did not dare to raise objections easily.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was the result of the Queen's plea for Minister Fan. Even if Ouyang Yi wanted to continue to pursue the matter, he could not say anything more. He had no choice but to accept the Emperor's decision, respectfully bid farewell to the Emperor, and left the palace.
The emperor knew that his ministers were dissatisfied with his treatment, but considering the queen's kindness in saving him at the cost of her life, he could only accommodate the queen and meet her request. Although he was somewhat conflicted, he still chose to compromise. After all, the queen was sincere in saving him. For this sincerity, he had no choice but to make a big deal out of a small matter.
Ouyang Yi returned to the Regent's Palace exhausted both physically and mentally. Ouyang Miaoling saw that her son was not in good spirits, so she hurried over to him, hugged him tightly, and comforted his wounded heart.
Ouyang Yi hung his head and placed it on his mother's shoulder. He spoke with a somewhat vicissitudes of life voice and a complex tone of emotion: "Mother, I am so tired, so tired. I have been busy for so long, but in the end it is all in vain."
Ouyang Miaoling patted her son's shoulder and said, "Yier, there are many things that we cannot control. You just need to cook with a clear conscience and live up to your husband and conscience!"
"Yes, mother, Yi'er is just too tired these days and wants to take a rest..."
"Okay... No one can force my son Yi'er to do anything he doesn't want to do. Starting tomorrow, you will resign from your official position and rest well in the mansion for a while!" Ouyang Miaoling obeyed her son's wishes and comforted him with a doting face.
"Well... my son can just spend some time with you."
Ouyang Miaoling knew that her son was really discouraged this time. Although she didn't know what had happened to her son, she knew that Ouyang Yi was not young anymore and he must have his reasons for making such a decision.
The only thing she could do was to support him and give him the warmth of home.
After a long time, Ouyang Yi stood up straight, and the sadness on his face returned to its previous sunny and happy look.
As if nothing had happened, he held Ouyang Miaoling's face in his hands and said, "Mother, thank you for coming back to me. You have given me a close family member and given me the confidence to do anything."
"My son is fine. I made you worried just now. It's my fault. I apologize to you."
Ouyang Yi's tone was sincere, which made Ouyang Miaoling feel relieved. His Yi'er had really become a man.
She took Ouyang Yi's hand, looked into his eyes and said, "Yier, remember, you have your mother behind you. Never say sorry to your mother, because everything I have done for you is what I should do!"
After saying that, the mother and son smiled at each other. They said in unison: "We are a family!"
Ouyang Yi leaned over to support Ouyang Miaoling and said, "Mother, let's put the unpleasant things behind us. Let's go. I'll have a good meal with you today! Mother, I'm hungry!"
Ouyang Yi was still acting like a spoiled child, which instantly filled Ouyang Miaoling with maternal love. She decided to cook delicious meals for her son herself.
