Chapter 239 The Queen Mother of Bloody Literature 21

Although she lived in seclusion in the mountains for these years, she did not forget to marry off the palace maids around her, of course, she asked for their opinions before arranging the marriage. She did not have the idea of ​​opposing marriage and childbearing in feudal society. If she really wanted to prevent her friends from getting married, she might even be hated. Not everyone is willing to enjoy the happiness of being single.

In the past, Banxia and Shannai were still unwilling to accept her decision. They thought she shouldn't leave the palace and live in seclusion in the mountains. Even the guards around her felt that there was no future in following her.

When the news of the new emperor's entry into the palace spread throughout the world, they no longer said this. If they really stayed in the palace, the Queen Mother Ye Zhiqiu would not have a good ending, and they, a group of slaves, would not have a good ending either.

Even if they stayed in Jiangnan, they had heard that after the new emperor entered the palace, all the concubines of the previous dynasty were robbed and killed. The beautiful ones were able to survive, but the ugly ones were not wanted even if they wanted to be slaves.

After they left the capital, they lost contact with the palace, but the news that the old emperor was burned to death in the palace when the capital was destroyed had already spread all over the world. The previous emperor died, and the new emperor did not let the royal children go. The emperor's children were arrested one by one and imprisoned in the Tianlao.

In addition to these princes and princesses, the royal family members also had a bad end. All those in the capital were sent to the Tianlao to accompany the princes and princesses. Fortunately, these emperors did not have many children, and there were not many princes left in the capital, otherwise the Tianlao would not be able to hold them all.

The emperor is gone, but the ministers of the previous dynasty are fine. Even the Li family surrendered to the new emperor and got an official position. If the emperor were still alive, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't believe the emperor was dead. She believed that the fire in the palace was set by the emperor himself so that he could take advantage of the fire to escape. She didn't believe that the emperor didn't have any loyal subordinates. You know, Li didn't die in the fire, and Queen Liu's body was not found.

The new emperor thought it was okay to have two women run away, but Ye Zhiqiu was not optimistic that the new emperor could keep his position. Even if the emperor died, the Ye family, who were still on the border, might have an army of hundreds of thousands, but it was a definite fact that they had a large army. The most important thing was that the Ye family did not recognize the new emperor's throne, so it was not certain who would eventually rule the world.

After Ye Zhiqiu left the palace, he lost contact with the Ye family, relying on the system to send back news from time to time. The development of the Ye family has not been slow in recent years. Although the border area is bitter and cold, it is an unowned land, and there are no natural disasters or wars. It can be said that no matter who becomes the emperor, he cannot subdue the Ye family.

"Host, where are you going?"

"Go to the capital."

Ye Zhiqiu planned to go to the capital to watch the excitement. Although the emperor was dead, the world was not at peace. There were often refugees breaking into the secluded place in the mountains. It would be better to find a place to live in the capital.

It took the group more than two months of walking, stopping and starting, before they reached the capital.

"Master, are we in the capital city?"

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the familiar city gate and decided not to leave this time. Having lost his identity, he lined up to enter the city. He thought that the city gate tax would not be too expensive as the new emperor had just conquered the world, but it turned out to be one penny more expensive than the previous dynasty.

Don't underestimate this penny. There are many people entering the city every day. It is not a small number if accumulated over a long period of time. Although the matter is small, it shows that the emperor is not sympathetic to the people. It is really unclear whether this change of power is a good thing or a bad thing.

Ye Zhiqiu sighed to the system, she couldn't change the world's affairs, it was more important to enjoy life in time. She was not willing to treat herself badly as she had money, so she bought a three-story courtyard in the inner city and settled down.

After a few days of rest, Ye Zhiqiu took people to the streets. The most lively event at the moment was the selection of the new emperor. No matter whether it was the powerful ministers or the ordinary people, they were all actively preparing for the selection, hoping that their own empress would change the fate of their family.

Ye Zhiqiu sneered and decided to go to the prison to see what happened to the former princes and princesses. It would be best if she could find out the whereabouts of the emperor and Empress Liu. The original owner had been badly hurt by these two people, so she would not miss the opportunity to take advantage of them.

It is not easy to enter the Heavenly Prison, but having money can naturally make things easier for the jailers. They are not afraid that Ye Zhiqiu will do anything bad, and a few women would not dare to rob the prison even if they had a hundred guts.

There were many prisoners in the prison, all of them were heavily sentenced, so few people came to visit. A group of prisoners suddenly saw a stranger, and they were more excited than a dog seeing shit. Both men and women stretched out their hands to ask Ye Zhiqiu for food. If there was no food, they could give silver, and they could use the silver to buy food from the jailer.

Ye Zhiqiu knew that the environment in the Heavenly Prison would not be good, but he did not expect it to be this bad. Not only was the ground dirty and messy, but there were also all kinds of bugs flying and crawling around. He did not know how a group of princes and princesses could bear it.

She walked as fast as she could to the innermost part of the prison, where important prisoners were kept. In addition to a group of princes and princesses, she actually saw a few familiar faces, but unfortunately she couldn't recognize them now.

The once noble and pure princes and princesses have become worse than the ordinary people in the capital. After only a few months in prison, they are no longer clean, their skin has lost its luster, and their hair is as messy as a chicken coop. Not to mention Ye Zhiqiu, even the jailers have to take a step back when they see them.

A group of princes and princesses imprisoned in prison suddenly saw a stranger coming to visit them. Regardless of Ye Zhiqiu's identity, they rushed to her for help. If she couldn't rescue them, at least she could send them some food, clothing and other daily necessities. They didn't need any silver, and even if she had any silver, it would not reach them.

She was smarter than most people, but how could Ye Zhiqiu do good things? She came to inquire about the whereabouts of the emperor and his wife. Even though this question had been asked by countless people and the princes and princesses had answered it countless times, they were still unwilling to tell Ye Zhiqiu for nothing.

At the cost of a basket of steamed buns, someone immediately answered: "My father and mother are dead."

"Is he really dead?" Ye Zhiqiu wanted to know the details.

"They couldn't be deader. They were not burned to death, but killed by the damned General Liu. It was all their fault for betraying our father. If it weren't for him, the capital wouldn't have been destroyed."

"General Liu? Which General Liu? Could it be the Liu from the Queen's family?"

"They are the Queen's clansmen. It's all their fault for betraying Father. Father shouldn't have made Liu the Queen. She was a witch."

With someone taking the lead, a group of princes and princesses who could not stand life in the Heavenly Prison followed suit and cursed Queen Liu. They blamed all the reasons for the emperor's failure on Queen Liu's family, as if the emperor's loss of the throne was the fault of everyone in the world.

"Let's go." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and left.

The emperor and his wife were dead, and the original owner's revenge was half avenged. After dealing with the Liu and Li clans, she would have completely completed her mission. With the system, it was easy to find fault with the two clans. The new emperor was not a generous person either. He had long wanted to deal with the old ministers of the previous dynasty, and he was eager for someone to give him an excuse.

The Liu and Li families originally thought that they could continue to enjoy wealth and glory by relying on the new emperor. They still didn't believe it when they received the order to confiscate their property. They didn't know who had harmed them before they died, so they could only blame all their hatred on the new emperor. Unfortunately, no matter how harshly they cursed, they could not harm the new emperor in the slightest.

Until Ye Zhiqiu left this world, the new emperor had not yet pacified the whole world, but natural disasters gradually subsided and he gradually consolidated his position.
