The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 378

Li Ling had just left the mansion with his horse, and was about to go to the imperial city to face the holy order to fend off the enemy, when he met the eldest princess who had returned from Zhuangzi's letter.

When the eldest princess saw her son, she asked, "I've heard about everything, how is Shu'er? Where are you going?"

Li Ling told his mother the ins and outs of the incident, and the eldest princess was so angry that her face was livid, and she said coldly: "What a queen Cao, she really has the guts to bully the children of the palace again and again, see When you come to this palace, you really should talk to her about it."

With that said, the princess returned to the luan chariot and headed towards the imperial city together with Li Ling.

At the gate of the palace, the eldest princess said to her son: "You wait here for a while, and I will talk about it after I finish my argument with them."

The eldest princess has a strong temper. The last time the King of Jin followed Li Ling to conquer the northwest, Empress Cao tried her best. The eldest princess was very angry when she learned about it. In the end, the eldest princess couldn't bear it any longer.

The eldest princess was led by the female officer, and came straight to the Jiaofang Hall aggressively. As soon as she reached the gate of the main hall, Yu Tuan'er, the female official next to Empress Cao, rushed out after hearing the news.

Seeing the eldest princess, Yu Tuan'er hurriedly saluted, but the eldest princess didn't even look at her, she raised her head halfway and said coldly: "Go ask your mother to come out to see me."

Yutuan'er hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness, the empress accidentally fell down the steps just now, her body was seriously injured, and she is unconscious now, and the imperial doctor is doing her best to treat her inside."

When the eldest princess heard Yutuaner's words suddenly, she thought it was Empress Cao who was guilty and dared not see her, so she deliberately made this excuse. She walked into the hall in disbelief, and saw the imperial physician and palace people gathered inside. In a hurry, the eldest princess believed Yu Tuan'er's words.

No matter how arrogant the eldest princess is, she will not care about a seriously ill person, but it is really impossible for her to swallow this breath.

With furious phoenix eyes, the eldest princess flicked her sleeves out of the Jiaofang Hall and headed straight for Emperor Ming's Qinzheng Hall.

The eldest princess didn't know that Emperor Ming approved of this, but Empress Cao was his wife, she did such a disgusting thing, the eldest princess couldn't show her face to face, she always had to talk to her younger brother.

As soon as the eldest princess walked out of the Jiaofang Palace, she happened to meet Emperor Ming who came to visit the queen.

Although Emperor Ming didn't want to see the Empress, but right now the Empress was thrown to the point where her life and death were unknown, even if she was just pretending, Emperor Ming had to come over to have a look.

When Emperor Ming saw Eldest Sister, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "When Eldest Sister entered the palace, why didn't someone tell me?"

The eldest princess asked Emperor Ming with a cold face: "I just want to ask you, do you, as a husband, know what Cao Shi did to my daughter-in-law?"

Seeing the angry look of the eldest princess, Emperor Ming didn't dare to tell the truth, he frowned, and pretended to be confused: "What is the eldest sister referring to?" : "Elder sister is referring to the matter that the empress demoted Boyue's wife, Shen, to a concubine without authorization?"

Emperor Ming quickly put aside the relationship and confessed: "This, how do I know? I know that the eldest sister has always valued the Shen family. How could she do such a thing? It was all done by the Cao family in a moment of confusion. I really don't know."

The eldest princess looked at Emperor Ming seriously, and said with a cold snort: "I hope you have nothing to do with this matter, if I find out that this matter has nothing to do with you, I"

Before the eldest princess finished speaking, Emperor Ming hurriedly confessed: "Oh, my good sister, can you still not trust your brother? I only found out about this at Xiangwu. For this reason, I was in Qinzheng Hall. He scolded me fiercely, if you don't believe me, just ask Eunuch Li."

Li Dequan hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is telling the truth. Your Majesty has indeed lost a lot of temper with the Empress because of this matter, and even forced the Empress to withdraw the imperial edict, and personally come to the door to apologize to Mrs. Li."

Li Dequan watched the siblings grow up, and whenever the siblings had disputes, she had to make peace between them.

When the eldest princess heard the words, she gave Emperor Ming a look, but said nothing.

Emperor Ming glanced at the eldest princess's face that was still as cold as ice, and smiled flatteringly, "Now that the military situation is urgent, Boyue handed over the military amulet to me for this reason. Tell me, now is the time when I need Boyue to share our worries. If I quit like this, what should I do."

"Hey! These are all the faults of the Cao family. I'm really mad at me. Not only can this Cao family fail to share my worries, but it's actually causing trouble for me. Hmph! You don't deserve to be a queen at all."

Only then did the eldest princess speak lightly, and asked, "Then how do you plan to deal with her?"

Emperor Ming glanced at Jiaofang Hall, then asked Li Dequan, "Have you woken up?"

Li Dequan replied truthfully: "The servants who just heard the report said that the empress is still in a coma, and the fall was very heavy. The imperial doctor said that even if she wakes up, one leg will be disabled."

Although Emperor Ming didn't like the Empress, he was a soft-hearted person. This matter itself was done only after he agreed with Empress Cao. Seeing the Empress look like this now, Emperor Ming not only felt a little guilty in his heart.

The eldest princess didn't care about these things, seeing Emperor Ming was silent, she just stared at her younger brother and asked, "How do you plan to deal with the Cao family?"

Emperor Ming swallowed his saliva, sighed and said, "If we depose her for fear of causing trouble, why don't we deprive her of the right to be in charge of the palace, then confine her to Jiaofang Palace for three months, and fine her for one year?" , how are you?"

Cao Shigui is the queen, so the punishment is already very severe.

When the eldest princess heard the words, her face finally eased a little, and she replied flatly: "Then do as you said."

As she said that, she rolled her eyes in the direction of Jiaofangdian again, and said coldly: "After she wakes up, you tell her that if she dares to touch my children again, I will definitely not tolerate her anymore. "

Emperor Ming said yes repeatedly, and then hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, the south and the north are in chaos now, it is really urgent, this boy Boyue is still angry with me, I have already dealt with the Cao family, you can help me persuade me Advise Boyue."

The eldest princess glanced at her younger brother, and said coldly: "Bo Yue is a bully, I can't help you with this matter."

With that said, the eldest princess was about to turn around and leave the palace.

Emperor Ming grabbed the eldest princess and said with a mournful face, "Elder sister, now that Hangu Pass has been lost and the Xiongnu are making trouble in the north, I am in a state of desperation. Do you really want to watch Daqi's country being trampled by the enemy?"

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess sneered and said, "Isn't there still your precious son, King Jin? Last time he and Boyue suppressed the rebellion in the Northwest, he made great achievements in battle. Why don't you let him defend against the enemy?"

Emperor Ming said with a sullen face, "His qualifications are still young, how can he compare with Bo Yue."

The eldest princess snorted coldly: "I think you are reluctant to part with your own son?"

"You don't want your own children to fight desperately on the battlefield. Could it be that this palace is willing to part with your own flesh and blood?"
