Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 337 Fire in the Backyard
Today's Compassionate Peace Palace looks a little different from the usual days.

Although I don't know what happened, but just looking at the face of the Holy Mother after she came back, the people serving in the palace unconsciously became a little more careful.

After noon, Empress Dowager Sun was leaning on the couch, dozing off lazily, Wang Jin, the chief eunuch of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, walked in lightly and said in a low voice.

"Holy Mother, Princess Changde asks to see you."

Empress Dowager Sun opened her eyes without any surprise, she sat up straight and said, "Call in."

Wang Jin retreated, and when she came back, she was followed by a graceful and luxurious woman in her 20s, dressed in a red toga.

It is the daughter of Empress Dowager Sun, the elder sister of the Supreme Emperor and the current emperor, Princess Changde.

"My son, please greet the queen mother."

Empress Dowager Sun woke up, waved her hand to signal Princess Changde to get up, and asked her to sit opposite her.

After Princess Changde was seated, Empress Dowager Sun cheered up and glanced at her daughter, but saw that Princess Changde's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had just cried.

Empress Dowager Sun loved this daughter very much, and now that Zhu Qizhen was captured by Wala, there were only their mother and daughter left in the capital, so naturally she wanted to hold her in her palm.

Seeing this situation, she frowned suddenly, and said coldly: "What's going on?"

A group of maids who followed Princess Changde fell to their knees in fright, Nuonuo dared not speak.

Seeing this situation, Princess Changde's eyes turned red again, she fell to her knees and said.

"Queen mother, you have to decide for my son-in-law. Just now, a group of Jinyi guards broke into the son-in-law's mansion and forced the son-in-law out, saying that the son-in-law committed a crime. He was banned for three months and no one was allowed to visit him."

It was this...

Empress Dowager Sun's cold face softened, and she couldn't help feeling a little headache. After thinking for a while, she reached out to help Princess Changde up, wiped the tears on her face, sighed, and said.

"This matter is the fault of the Ai family, and you don't have to worry about it. They dare not do anything to the son-in-law. They are confined to the mansion for a period of time. If the son-in-law's mansion cannot enter, you can stay at the princess mansion with peace of mind. After a while, When your brother comes back, everything will be fine."

Regarding this matter, Queen Mother Sun was also quite helpless.

According to her original plan, it would be best not to cause any complications at this time, but the British government insisted on saving Chen Mao and others.

After thinking about it, she felt that this was indeed the case.

Bringing Zhu Qizhen back is just the beginning.

Now that the throne is in other people's hands, it is impossible to get it back, but you can't sit still and let others slaughter you.

It is conceivable that after Zhu Qizhen came back, life might not be easy, and the hearts of these relatives who are still loyal to him still need to be won, so she agreed to the plan of Zhang Fu and others.

However, in the expectation of Queen Mother Sun, this is actually just doing the best of human affairs.

Based on her understanding of the current emperor, he would never let Chen Mao and the others go easily, and all this trouble was just for show.

But who would have thought that it would actually happen.

Although Huichangbo was sacrificed, but Chen Mao was saved, in the eyes of Queen Mother Sun, it was worth it.

After all, with her in the palace, it doesn't make much difference whether Uncle Huichang has the title or not, and no one dares to insult her mother clan because of this.

However, she did not consider Princess Changde's mood in advance, so, facing her daughter's crying at this moment, she could only comfort her softly.

Princess Changde wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but she was still sobbing.

"My queen, my son is just worried. You didn't see that when the group of Jin Yiwei barged in, they looked fierce. My son wanted nothing else but to live a peaceful life."

"My son knows that you and your son-in-law have been thinking of a way to bring your brother back from Yibei, and my son also misses his brother, but mother, don't you feel that they don't take us seriously at all?"

Empress Dowager Sun's complexion was a little ugly, and she shouted softly.

"Changde, don't mess around. Those honorable ministers outside, they are all left by your father and emperor for your younger brother. How could they have other thoughts?"

Princess Changde is not a strong character, she has a submissive personality. If she was reprimanded so lightly by the Queen Mother in the past, she would immediately bow her head and admit her mistake.

But this time, she twisted her head and said nothing, but the tears kept falling.

Empress Dowager Sun realized something was wrong, and frowned, "Changde, what happened?"

At this time, Wang Jin walked in and reported.

"Holy Mother, the Sixth Division has just issued an imperial edict. This is a copy sent by the servants to copy. Please have a look."

Seeing Wang Jin hesitate to speak, Empress Dowager Sun felt even more puzzled, took the document and read it.

However, after reading it, her expression became a little ugly, and she looked at Princess Changde and said, "Changde, tell the truth, did you know the content of this edict before entering the palace?"

Princess Changde pinched the handkerchief, turned around, nodded and said.

"Queen, to tell you the truth, the imperial edict has just been released from the cabinet, before it reached the sixth division, rumors spread outside the palace, and now the Ningyuanhou's mansion is full of people."

Saying that, Princess Changde sniffled, a little aggrieved, and said.

"Erchen is actually really angry. They keep saying that they want to bring back the younger brother, but in fact, they only think about themselves."

"After such a lot of trouble, my younger brother has not yet been seen. Grandpa's title has been taken away, and the son-in-law has also been grounded. They are very proud of being promoted."

These words of complaint fell into the ears of Empress Dowager Sun and were automatically filtered out.

Empress Dowager Sun knew about her daughter.

Simple minded, pampered and brought up with gold and jade, although he doesn't have a bad temper, he really doesn't know anything about government affairs.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way out, Queen Mother Sun actually didn't want her to be the person who communicated with the inside and outside.

One is that I don't want her to be involved so deeply, and the other is that I don't think she is suitable.

Frowning, Empress Dowager Sun read the edict twice again, shook her head and said.

"Changde, don't think too much about it. This incident is just a coincidence. The queen mother still said that those veterans are all loyal to your brother. What they do is to make your brother come back. Power."

The tone of these words was serious, and Princess Changde sobbed again.

Empress Dowager Sun had a headache and wanted to comfort her, but found that this always docile daughter suddenly raised her head, with tears in her bright eyes, and said.

"Empress mother, son-in-law just don't understand, obviously we are all one family, how did we get into this trouble?"

"Brother Zhen and Brother Yu have always been in a good relationship. After Brother Yu came to the throne, he worked hard to govern and did not show any disrespect to you. But why does the queen mother always believe in these outsiders, and my ministers don't believe it? Brother Zhen If Er really comes back, what else can Brother Yu do to him?"

"Maybe, if it weren't for this gang of people jumping up and down all the time, Brother Yu would have sent someone to bring Brother Zhen back."

"The way I see it, there are rumors outside that someone is alienating the Tian family, they are the people. If things go on like this, if Brother Zhen and Brother Zhen really turn against each other, they will also be forced by them!"

With a "bang", Empress Dowager Sun's right hand slapped heavily on the table, and her face darkened.

"Presumptuous, what do you know!"

Princess Changde didn't seem to expect that the Queen Mother would treat her like this, she froze in place for a moment, tears streaming down her cheeks.

After a while, Princess Changde seemed to come to her senses, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her face indiscriminately, and ran out crying...
