Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

The capital city has just quieted down.

Another big incident happened.

That means the Ye family was sealed off.

Ye Qi was escorted back to the capital from the border by the emperor's men.

They beat drums and gongs along the way, telling everyone that Ye Qi was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.

When everyone saw this, there was another uproar.

This was something no one had expected.

The Ye family actually collaborated with the enemy and committed treason.

What do they want to do?

Empress Dowager Ye herself didn't even have any children.

Does the Ye family still want to sit on the throne?

All members of the Ye family were arrested and thrown into jail.

Everyone is watching to see what the emperor will do to the empress dowager.

After all, the Empress Dowager raised the Emperor.

Would the emperor be so ruthless as to throw the empress dowager into jail as well?

The queen in the palace was also watching.

News spread from Changshou Palace that the Queen Mother was ill.

The emperor went to Changshou Palace in person to see the empress dowager.

At this time, the Queen Mother was lying on the bed weakly.

When she saw the emperor coming, she just rolled her eyes.

Didn't say much else.

Turn your gaze to the other side.

The emperor waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.

He walked to the bedside and looked at the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, are you angry with me?"

"Your Majesty, you are willing to exterminate the Ye family, right?"

This time, the Queen Mother did not roar, let alone roar.

The only thing she had was hatred in her heart, the Empress Dowager's hatred for the Emperor.

The emperor knew it very well.

"Queen Dowager, you know very well how I treat the Ye family, and so do the people of the world. As long as they behave themselves, they can still enjoy all this splendor and wealth."

The Queen Mother chuckled coldly.

"Is that what you call wealth? You can't make your own decisions about anything."

The emperor spoke coldly:

"The Queen Mother means that in order to repay your kindness, I must give up the throne, and only then will your Ye family be satisfied, right?"

"I didn't say that."

The emperor looked at the back of the empress dowager's head.

"You, the Ye family, didn't say that, but you did it. I've repeatedly turned a blind eye, but I can never satisfy you."

The Queen Mother said coldly: "From what the Emperor said, he doesn't intend to let anyone from the Ye family go this time?"

The Queen Mother slowly sat up.

She slowly got up again, sat on the bed and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, if you can spare a bloodline of the Ye family, I will beg you for mercy."

The Emperor did not answer but asked: "Queen Dowager, if the situation were reversed and your Ye family succeeded, would you spare any of the Mo family's bloodline?"

The Queen Mother was silent.

Needless to say, she definitely wouldn't stay.

Will you stay and make things difficult for yourself?

The emperor chuckled softly.

"Look, you can't do it, so why do you ask me to do it?"

The Queen Mother has been powerful for so many years and has never given in.

Hearing the emperor's sneer.

Her tears suddenly flowed down.

"Your Majesty, please consider this as a plea from me to leave a descendant for the Ye family. I don't want to be ashamed to face the ancestors of the Ye family a hundred years from now."

The emperor laughed when he heard this.

"Yes, you are indeed ashamed to face the ancestors, but you are ashamed to face the ancestors of the Mo family. You are a married woman, what relationship does the Ye family have to you?"

Looking at the empress dowager's tearful eyes.

The emperor finally told the truth.

"Queen Dowager, you know my temper. I will never show mercy in such matters. I would rather kill someone by mistake than let anyone go."

When the emperor said this, he sighed deeply.

"You have to thank County Master Yaoguang for this."

The Queen Mother looked suddenly at the Emperor.

"What does this have to do with Yaoguang County Master?"

See the anger in the Queen Mother's eyes.

The emperor shook his head:

"As the queen mother of a country, you don't even have the broad mind of a little girl. You have really lived in vain all these years."

The Queen Mother said nothing, but stared at the Emperor quietly.

She just wanted to hear the answer.

“The Yaoguang County Lady felt that punishing all nine generations of the family was too bloody, so all children under the age of three in the Ye family were released without charge, allowing them to become ordinary people.

As for side branches, as long as they do not involve treason, they will be exempted from punishment."

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor in disbelief.

"Are you trying to build a good reputation for Yaoguang County Master, or are you trying to help Old Six win over the people?"

The emperor looked at the empress dowager with a sneer.

"Do I need to do all this? Does Sixth Brother need to win over these people? Throughout the dynasties, anyone who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country would be punished with the death of all nine generations of the family."

The Queen Mother still didn't believe it: "That girl could be so good?"

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Yes, that girl is not so good. I will go back and change the order now, and pass it on according to the previous imperial decree."

The emperor simply flicked his sleeves, turned around and was about to leave.

The Queen Mother hurriedly called out, "Your Majesty, wait a moment."

"Queen Mother, is there anything else you would like to add?"

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, I'll just do as Lady Yaoguang says. I'm grateful to her."

The Queen Mother glanced at the nanny beside her.

Gave her a wink.

"Take out a head ornament and the string of Buddhist beads from my box and give them to County Lady Yaoguang as a token of my gratitude."

The emperor did not refuse the empress dowager's kindness.

Just stand there and wait.

"Empress Dowager, the palace is too bustling after all, and it's not suitable for you to rest in peace."

The Queen Mother looked suddenly at the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, are you going to take me and my head off together?"

The Emperor said, "Empress Dowager, summer is just three months away. By then, the weather will be too hot for you to walk.

I will send someone to take you to the Royal Courtyard, where you can recuperate and no one will disturb you."

The Queen Mother instinctively wanted to refute.

However, she thought of the lives of the Ye family that the emperor had spared.

So, he nodded with satisfaction again.

Well, if she goes there, maybe she can find a way to help them.

"I will have the Queen prepare it and arrange for someone to send it to the Queen Mother's Royal Residence."

Eunuch Tang took it from the nanny, turned around and went back to the imperial study with the emperor.

The emperor looked at the two large boxes on the table.

"Send the message for Lady Yaoguang to come to the palace."

Eunuch Tang reminded: "Your Majesty, why not send the Sixth Prince over as well, so that he knows that the Queen Mother is truly grateful."

"Okay, go ahead!"

Eunuch Tang looked at the two large boxes on the table.

There was smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, before the Queen Mother went to the Royal Villa, she was willing to give this set of headgear to Miss Lan.

It was not in vain for that girl to work so hard to save the lives of the Ye family.

Eunuch Tang jokingly said, "These two sets of headgear were exchanged for a few lives. It seems that the lives of the Ye family are really not worth much."

The Emperor raised his eyes and said, "At least the Queen Mother is willing to give it up. If it were in the past, would the Queen Mother be willing to give it up?"

Eunuch Tang thought of the empress dowager's headache.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has a headache. Will you call Miss Lan over?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Let Doctor Lu go with you to the other courtyard to serve. That girl has a lot of things to do."
