Chapter 160
"Your Majesty, the concubine's father and brother were all wronged. They are not the kind of people who dare to despise the Heavenly Lord. Please, let them live, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Chen Yuying knelt outside the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and begged bitterly, hoping for a chance of life for her father and brother. The makeup on her face was also crying. This was the thing she valued most in the past.

Eunuch Liu, the chief executive, couldn't bear it, so he entered the hall and reported back: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen has been kneeling outside the hall for three hours. The sun is scorching hot, do you want to summon Concubine Chen?"

The Son of Heaven sitting on the throne was majestic and dignified. He gave Eunuch Liu a cold look: "When I was young, I was able to win this great cause with the help of Chen Borong. But look, the dog has raised a white eye." The wolf is coming, there are countless crimes coming from the border, if Concubine Chen really wants to intercede, then go down with her father and brother."

The emperor threw the memorial on the table and closed his eyes. This calm look scared Eunuch Liu to his knees and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, it's the servant who has overstepped, and the servant will sue Concubine Chen."

Eunuch Liu was wearing a python robe with a crane pattern, and the embroidery on the hem deeply hurt Concubine Chen's eyes. She raised her head from the ground, pulled at the corner of Eunuch Liu's clothes, and hurriedly said: "Eunuch, the emperor is willing to announce me into the palace. My father and brother are all innocent people, they were plotted against by those...those shameless people, I beg your majesty, you must see clearly..."

Eunuch Liu took a step back and said respectfully: "Ms. Chen Concubine, it's not that our family doesn't help you. Your father and brother are outside the customs, and all the statements have already reached the palace of heaven. Why did you come here? Madam, please think twice." , if you insist on going your own way, it will not only embarrass you, but you may also fall into a complete mess."

As soon as Chen Yuying was retreated by Eunuch Liu, she threw herself at the entrance of the main hall, with infinite sadness in her heart: "Your Majesty, have you really forgotten the kindness you have had with my Chen family in the past? , you saved my father and brother's life, please..."

Eunuch Liu held a whisk in his arm, supported Chen Yuying from the ground, and whispered in her ear: "Ms. Chen Concubine, the emperor said that if you insist on going your own way, then go to Jiuquan and accompany you." Go on the road with your father and brother."

Chen Yuying was struck by lightning, and couldn't believe her ears. Could it be that the love in the past was all a wrong payment?
Now she only begged the emperor to let her father and brother live, but it was so difficult, she cried hard, a tight heartstring broke, rolled her eyes, and fell to her knees on the ground.

"Concubine Chen? Concubine Chen?"

Eunuch Liu yelled a few times, seeing that Chen Yuying hadn't woken up yet, he quickly called to the little servant beside him to help Chen Yuying back to her Yonghe Palace.

Seeing the movement outside, the emperor suddenly became quiet, and asked loudly: "Fushou, why is it so quiet outside, has Concubine Chen gone back?"

Eunuch Liu hurriedly entered the palace and reported back: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen was so sad that she passed out. The servants have made arrangements, and the imperial doctor will be here soon. Do you want to see Concubine Chen?"

"The Concubine Chen's family cannot escape the guilt. I went to see it, but it was in vain. The legal prohibition, since I ascended the throne, I was destined to become its puppet. I need to get rid of all distracting thoughts. Go and see, there are Come back with any news.”

"Yes."

When Eunuch Liu stepped back, he looked up at the emperor, sometimes he couldn't tell whether what the emperor said was really a last resort?
The emperor seems to have deep affection for every concubine, but he is always by the emperor's side, true or false, many false things, he has seen too much...

Half an hour later, Eunuch Liu brought good news. He walked swiftly and quickly into the hall.

The emperor cast a dissatisfied glance at him: "What are you doing so recklessly, I asked you to go and see Concubine Chen, why, is there something wrong there, is Concubine Chen okay?"

The words in his mouth are affectionate, but the chess pieces in his hand are on the chessboard unhurriedly, and there is no tension on his face.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Chen... she is happy..."

Eunuch Liu's face was filled with joy, and the emperor's heir had withered. From the time the emperor ascended the throne to the present, many princes had been born, but none of them grew up safely. Now that Concubine Chen is pregnant, how could he not be happy for the emperor.

It's just that the timing of Concubine Chen's pregnancy is a bit embarrassing. I don't know how much Concubine Chen is in the emperor's heart, and whether her father and brother can escape.

But these are beyond his guess.

He lowered his head and pleasing his eyes, not daring to look at the sky, only heard a chess piece slap to the ground, rolling down from the chessboard, along the floor tiles, and spinning around in Eunuch Liu's hand.

After waiting for a long time, I heard the emperor's hearty laughter: "Okay! Concubine Chen is pregnant. It seems that God is pitying her. If this is the case, how can I disregard God's will and pass on the order? It is impossible to escape, but thinking that Concubine Chen is pregnant and praying for her son, the death penalty can be avoided, but the crime of living is inevitable, and the Chen family will be sent to the frontier."

Eunuch Liu got the order, and when he was about to step down, he heard the emperor continue to say: "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Officials will see you, Concubine Chen, you go and tell her, I will go to see her later."

"Yes!"

The door of the main hall was closed by Mr. Liu, and the candlelight was flickering. The emperor's face became more and more condensed the moment the door was closed, and the aura on his body was daunting for a moment.

For a quarter of an hour, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials knelt outside the door of the main hall and bowed his head as a minister: "Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Ji Jian kowtowed for God's grace."

"Enter."

Ji Jian pushed open the door, saw a white jade chess piece scattered by the door, bent down to pick it up, then knelt down on the ground and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, I don't know why you summoned this humble minister?"

The emperor stood up from the seat, and leaned on him to help him stand up: "You don't need to be polite, I called you here for something. The imperial doctor just checked the pulse of Concubine Chen, and she has my baby in her belly." Dragon Si, right now, I don't have many heirs under my feet, and this son was ordered by the heavens, so I have to be lenient."

Shangshu got up from the ground, hesitantly said: "The emperor means that the Chen family..."

The emperor nodded, and stretched out his palm to Shangshu, and Baiyu's chess piece was placed in his palm.

"Come on, Aiqing, play a game of chess with me. This time you hold the sunspot.

Shangshu panicked and said: "Your Majesty, this is inconsistent with reason. How can a subject go first, but you, Your Majesty, go first." "

"Hey, Ai Qing, don't panic, the sequence of moves doesn't affect the situation of the chess game. Just like you and me, sometimes it's not a bad thing to retreat to get closer."

The emperor's five fingers were close together, and he picked up a white jade piece from the chess box. After seeing Shangshu drop a piece, he followed closely and placed the piece on the chessboard.

Except for the sound of chess pieces falling on the board, the room was silent, and a white piece landed where Shang Shu didn't expect.

"Your majesty, you... hope that the emperor will forgive his subjects. Your chess game seems to be a bit out of order, could it be..."

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched into a smile: "What Aiqing said is true. Everything in this world is not set by people. I can use it or destroy it. When dealing with this useless pawn, Aiqing feels that there is no use for it." What insight."

Shang Shu lowered his head and crossed his hands: "I dare not, but according to what I said, this useless chess piece, if it is not destroyed, will always cause some troubles and often cause endless disputes. It would be better to be straightforward. I don't know what the emperor thinks." Is what the minister is saying reasonable?"

"Ai Qing, I have many smart people under my command. You have this awareness and won my heart. Concubine Chen is pregnant. I have ordered her family to be forgiven and exiled for thousands of miles. I will leave this matter to you. Remember, be crisp and clear!"

Shangshu knelt down: "I will definitely live up to the emperor's entrustment."

"Hahahaha, Ji Jian, that's what I like about you."
