Chapter 221 It Will Only Instigate War
Entering the main hall, the emperor retreated side by side, the empress was ready for the omen, and softly called: "Your Majesty..."

He slowly approached her, put his hand on her chin, looked directly at Shaoyan, and said in a cold voice: "I looked carefully, and the queen's appearance is indeed peerless. Is it right or wrong for me to give you the back seat?" ?”

"Your Majesty just speak up when you have something to say, why bother to mock your concubine like this?"

The emperor asked in a cold voice: "I ask you, what are you going to Chao Chao Palace today? Why did you meet Ye Tingye by coincidence? Did you not know that he wanted to marry Ling Yan, or that I had no intention of marrying Zhuo Nan? You How can I save my face?"

The queen saw the murderous look in his eyes. She had never felt as timid as before, but she still insisted on asking calmly: "What did you hear, Your Majesty? The collision with Ye Tingye today was just accidental, and the concubine didn't know that he happened to come from Go inside the Tidal Palace. All things, the concubine is like falling into a trap. If your majesty really thinks that the concubine will make your majesty lose face, then let him do it! It's just that the concubine is not reconciled, and the concubine does not know what is wrong What can make His Majesty's Longyan angry again and again?"

The emperor shook off her glamorous appearance, sat down on the chair in a rage, looked at the whole hall and said: "I know why I want to retreat everyone? It's because I trust you and you planned for Ling Yan. I know, I never thought of marrying her to Zhuo Nan. But why did you go to Chao Chao Palace, and why did you bump into Ye Tingye when you went there?"

The queen said: "The concubine has already said that these are just occasional!"

"Is it sometimes? Someone planned it deliberately. Ye Tingye took Ling Yan's portrait and said that he wanted to marry Ling Yan, but the portrait in his hand showed your face. Who wants to set off Jinling Kingdom and Zhuonan Kingdom? Fighting, although this matter was not done by you, it was caused by you!"

"Then what will His Majesty do?"

The emperor stood up, helped the queen up, and said solemnly: "Someone in the harem wants to start a fight, and I will hand over the harem to you, so you have to investigate for me."

"Your Majesty believes in ministers and concubines?" The queen couldn't believe it.

The emperor nodded, "I'm not a fool, can't you even see this trick? Fortunately, Ye Tingye gave the scroll to Gu Xuan today, and it just happened to show to me. If Ye Tingye didn't marry the Jinling Kingdom successfully, it's fine. But if she marries Ling Yan and returns to Zhuo Nan, the portrait does not match her, and it will cause war between the two countries."

The queen said in a panic: "It will not only lead to war between the two countries, but also drive the concubines into a place of eternal doom. Whether it is right or wrong, the concubines will become the heroes of the disaster of the two countries. Your majesty, please return the concubine justice." !"

The queen kowtowed down!

Although the emperor believed that Ling Yan had been framed by someone and leaked a portrait, he couldn't suppress the mouths of the people in the world after all.

As expected, the next day it was reported that the queen had an improper relationship with the second prince of Zhuo Nanguo in the alleys and streets of the capital.Unable to suppress the opinions of the people in the world, the queen had to leave the capital temporarily and go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum.

A car drove slowly towards the west city, followed by several imperial guards, and there were no palace maids accompanying her, only Zheng Xiaxia and her were brought along.

Although she is in the posthumous position, she has temporarily lost the power of the harem.The matter is full of confusion. It is the queen who begs the emperor to let her out of the palace. If she wants to know who is trying to provoke the war between the two countries, she has to make a sacrifice.

Leaving the imperial city, the queen opened the curtain and looked towards the high wall of the capital. Only by going there could she attract those who provoked the emperor. This harem is not only the queen, nor is she covering the sky with her own hands, there are some other people Plotting chaos and treachery in the dark.

The second prince of Zhuo Nan Kingdom lost his face in front of the palace, and left Beijing early to return to his country. King Yi of Jinling Kingdom also left Beijing one after another, but the mission still stayed in Kyoto temporarily because the birthday banquet of Princess Jinling was coming soon.

The Imperial Mausoleum's palace is cold, and the cicadas are screaming in the lonely night. When the empress arrives, the palace is still in a mess.

The queen stroked her eyebrows and leaned against a chaise longue, Zheng Xiaxia took a cup of soup and put it on the table.The queen asked: "Ling'er, is there no one guarding this palace?"

Zheng Xiaxia said: "I heard Madam Su said that there are people guarding the mausoleum, but it is just a few elderly palace people who were punished to guard the mausoleum here. They are usually self-sufficient, taking care of this palace, which makes this place so chaotic. "

The queen slowly opened her eyes, got up and walked out of the courtyard.She had also been to this palace when the emperor came to the throne. Although she had never stayed here, it was not so calm before, but this time she always felt that this palace was terribly deserted.

The next day, Zheng Xiaxia went up the mountain to gather medicine, she went to cook, and only the queen was left sitting in the hall alone. Fortunately, she brought her parrot with her when she came, so she could chat with it when she was bored.Although parrots can't understand human language, they can still have fun chatting if they learn and use skillfully.

The queen was teasing the parrot with melon seeds, and suddenly felt a chill behind her. She turned around in shock, and saw an old woman standing behind her with tea in her mouth. The queen was startled, patted herself on the chest and said angrily: "You Who is it? Why didn't you report first when you came in?"

The woman said: "Your Majesty, the servant came to bring tea to your Majesty, and when he saw that there was no one waiting in the hall, he came in!"

That's right, she forgot that neither she nor Ling'er were here, so who should she report to?

The queen said: "Then put it somewhere, knock on the door first when you go out, or come in without making a sound, otherwise the palace will punish you."

"The servant is clear, the servant will step down now!"

After the old palace man left, the empress immediately opened the door. This palace man was about the same age as her, with a cold face, as if he was owed money and would not pay it back.Or maybe seeing her lost now, I can't even respect her anymore.

She also understands that when she was abolished before, she also encountered such supercilious glances. People always walk towards high places. Even if these palace people want to come to please her, they have to see if they can take advantage of it.Not all people are like her, unmoved by the power and prosperity, only doing their own part.

The queen doesn't know how long she will stay here, as long as she doesn't go back to the capital for a day, there is no possibility for her to go back. Since she is willing to go to the imperial mausoleum, the emperor must do it so that no one will see tells.Qi Mingzhi's return to Beijing is different, he has power in the court and can respond immediately.

She left a letter to Gu Xuan, if she did not return to the capital, Gu Xuan would not be allowed to play and let her return to the palace, otherwise she would destroy the emperor's plan.

Every day she recited Buddhist scriptures to the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, and every evening she could hear the rustling of dead leaves in the courtyard. She instigated Deng Xin, and when Zheng Xiaxia started to doze off, she told her to go back to her room to rest.

The queen shook her head helplessly, and stretched out her hand to take the water glass from the table to her mouth. Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiaxia jumped up suddenly, and rushed to knock over the teacup in the queen's hand in a frenzy. The scared queen and her quickly retreated. .
