Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 590
"Don't worry!" Yuan Ce only felt that such a concubine was really approachable, and she was much kinder than the crown prince who only punished him with salary, so he flattered him, "Yang Yi has great strength, but he just transported the mud out. There is no difficulty in the palace, it is no problem to carry it on the shoulders and hands!"

"Oh!" Zhao Xiwei's eyes lit up, and he said smoothly: "Then if this is the case, please trouble Yang Yi to pick out the mud!"

"..."

Everyone present was silent for a while, Yuan Ce stopped chewing peanuts, and said, "Crown Princess, you...isn't that right?"

Yang Yi and he are both the prince's bodyguards. Although their positions are not high, their status is not low. Even His Highness the Crown Prince is not willing to use them as servants. Is it appropriate?
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xi smiled coldly, "Are you the Crown Princess, or am I the Crown Princess?"

Yuan Ce shrank his neck and decided not to meddle in it anymore.

Yang Yi's status plummeted in an instant, and his duty changed from "protecting the princess" to "digging ditches for the princess", but he didn't dare to go to the prince to ask for proof, so he could only squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said respectfully : "This subordinate obeys the order. This subordinate must rush to complete the work before dark, so as not to disturb the purity of the princess."

"Hmm..." Zhao Xiwei nodded and said approvingly: "As expected, he is the most powerful person in His Royal Highness, and his mind is smarter than ordinary people." After speaking, he glanced at the maid behind him, "What are you still doing? Your Highness is still waiting for us to deliver lunch!"

"Yes..." Jinxiu and Yinbao hurriedly followed.

In the entire courtyard, only Yang Yi was left, staring at Yuan Ce with big eyes.

"Hey, why did the princess go out—" When she came back, Zhao Xiwei's figure had disappeared.

"Not good!" Yang Yi stomped her feet and hurriedly rushed out.

"Stop chasing him!" Yuan Ce grabbed him, "His Royal Highness is in a bad mood, and needs some persuasion from the Crown Princess!"

Yang Yi threw away his arm anxiously, and reprimanded: "What do you know! It is because His Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood that the Crown Princess can't be allowed to see His Highness!" She took two steps forward, then turned around abruptly, pointing at He: "It's all you! You said you weren't guarding His Highness, what kind of trouble did you come here to cause trouble!"

Yuan Ce was puzzled: "Your Highness is in a bad mood, why would I dare to stay in the study? What are you in a hurry for? The Crown Princess might have coaxed His Highness to rest!"

Shrugging his shoulders, he said disapprovingly: "When Your Highness is in a bad mood, who else can resolve it except the Crown Princess? Can you do it? You can do it?"

Yang Yi patted her head anxiously: "Oh! This is amazing, today is not as good as it used to be..." He clenched his fists and walked around the yard, "It's bad, it's bad, this time the Crown Princess broke in, it must be all right." Saw!"

Yuan Ce was even more surprised: "What did you see? They are husband and wife, what can't you see?"

"You!" Yang Yi stomped her feet, "You were not in the inner palace just now, you don't even know what His Majesty said!"

Yuan Ce had long since realized the strangeness, so he peeled another peanut, threw it into his mouth, and asked casually, "What did Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty said that His Highness the Crown Prince has to make a choice—" Yang Yi blurted out, but immediately closed her mouth vigilantly.

"What choice?" Yuan Ce asked repeatedly.

What choice?

Inside the Chongwen Hall, paper and pens were scattered.

After Li Xuanye sat alone on the desk, with one hand resting on his forehead, his profile was slightly lonely.

The left and right guards were dismissed, and the huge study room was empty.

Suddenly, there was a wind blowing outside.

"Dinglingling——" the wind bell at the corner of the eaves trembled and rang, the wind became more and more intense, and the sounds became more intense, intertwined with each other, whizzing past the eaves, pouring in along the gate of the palace like overwhelming mountains and seas.

The light golden window curtains are dancing wildly like flying dragons, the official documents piled up on the desk are like clouds, and the lotus palace lantern standing in the corner is crumbling.

The servants rushed to help him in panic, but when they touched the gloomy and stern silhouette, they subconsciously withdrew their fingers.

On the eve of the storm, the next moment is to destroy the city and the land.

No one dared to provoke His Royal Highness, who was in a bad mood.

The strong wind blew, and his sleeves fluttered, but he still sat there as motionless as a mountain, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he hadn't slept yet.

The servants retreated quietly.

There is no one in the hall anymore.

But there was an angry rebuke, wrapped in the wind and sweeping over——

"Listen to me! Either execute Zhao Ziyi or abolish Zhao Xiwei! You can only choose one!"

"Let it go? I just let him go like this, how can I be worthy of your mother!"

Li Xuanye suppressed the space between his brows, trying to keep the voice firmly in his mind.

But there was another anxious voice from around, it was his own: "Father, it is too rash to kill someone based on the evidence of Gu Yong alone—"

"Shut up for me!"

The emperor roared, like a lion completely irritated, with a hissing sound in his throat, and the words he spit out were manic: "It's about your mother's life, you think it's too hasty!!" He Lifting his sleeves, he brushed off the pen and ink on the imperial case, "Even Zhao Ziyi can't find an excuse, but you do everything possible to speak up for him!"

In the turbulent wind, the emperor quickly stepped down the imperial steps, his body bowed slightly, and tears burst from his red eyes: "I have raised you for more than ten years with my own hands! I will never stand up for you! You—— you you!"

Li Xuanye knelt on the ground, looked at the emperor, and remained silent.

It was raining and snowing a few days ago, and a floor tile in the queen's bedroom was broken, and a craftsman was sent to renovate it, but accidentally dug a pack of medicine from under the floor tile.

Just when Gu Yuci sent two bottles of medicine, Li Xuanye became suspicious and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor summoned Gu Yong for questioning, but learned that this medicine was secretly prepared by Mrs. Gu, and it was originally used by the empress for beauty and beauty, and it did not harm the body and mind.

The emperor was dubious, and summoned the Imperial Medical Office. After some inspection, it was found that there was colorless flower pollen in the secret medicine!

"Your Majesty, this colorless flower pollen is also the medicine that caused the little princess to vomit last time..." The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and said a few words, implying that the case in Concubine Shu's palace had not been closed last time.

In fact, there is no need for the imperial doctor to talk too much, the emperor himself knows it well: this colorless pollen is just a play of Zhao Ziyi and Gu Yong joining forces to bring down Concubine Pei!

At that time, he only thought that the pollen would make people vomit, but he didn't expect this thing to appear in the Queen's Palace early!It is even very likely that it is the culprit that caused the Queen's death!

The emperor could tolerate the little princess getting sick, but he couldn't tolerate the queen being plotted against!

So he called Zhao Ziyi into the palace urgently.

After some questioning, Zhao Ziyi finally admitted that Shen Yuqing gave the queen a prescription.

This prescription has the effect of sterilizing women.
