On the wedding night, the prince asked me to see an andrologist

Chapter 303 Taking charge of the palace
  Late at night, the palace.

The queen received the news this night, saying that the emperor invited her to go to the imperial study for a talk.

When she arrived, the emperor was still dealing with government affairs. The eunuch in the royal study asked the queen to wait outside, so the queen stood outside for more than an hour in the cold wind before she was finally summoned.

At this time, the queen felt very uneasy, and her body was even more trembling when she followed the eunuch in charge into the royal study.

The emperor had not seen her alone for a long time. It was definitely not possible for him to call her over for no reason. It must have been because of the murder of Concubine Su.

I don’t know how much the emperor knows now.

Thinking of this, the queen clenched her hands with some guilt.

When the queen walked into the imperial study, the emperor was still sitting at the desk reviewing the memorials. He seemed to be a little tired from sitting, so he stood up and wrote thousands of miles, and the words he wrote were powerful.

‘His crime deserves to be punished’

The four big characters are very eye-catching.

The queen couldn't help but swayed. After she regained her composure, she took a step forward and said respectfully, "I see you, Your Majesty."

"Ah."

The emperor agreed lightly.

Then he wrote another one saying, "He shall be punished for his crime." I don't know how many I wrote one after another.

The queen's whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

At the end, the emperor finally raised his head and said, "Queen, do you know...why I called you here tonight?"

"I am a stupid slave, please let Your Majesty make it clear."

Seeing the emperor's majestic gaze, the queen trembled.

She and the emperor were a young couple, and logically they had a very good relationship. However, the queen always felt that she could not understand her husband, and she did not know what the emperor wanted to do.

They are more like monarchs and ministers than husband and wife.

The queen was actually very afraid of the emperor.

The emperor's sudden words made the queen fall into the ice cave. He asked, "Where did you take the body of Imperial Physician Lin?"

When the emperor asked about Dr. Lin, the queen's face suddenly turned whiter than the wall.

Did the emperor know something?

If she had done something else and let the emperor know about it, the empress would feel that she would only be scolded by a few words at most. However, the emperor had always been filial to Concubine Su, and the empress could not guarantee what would happen to her if she was discovered.

The queen replied respectfully, "Back to the emperor, this matter is not my concubine's business, and I don't know about it either. It should have been thrown into a mass grave to feed wild dogs."

"Hmph, you deserve to die for daring to murder my mother-in-law." After saying this, the emperor put down the wolf hair in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at the queen deeply, and said, "This time, I only let him die, which is an advantage for him. ”

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Doctor Lin blatantly murdered his mother and concubine. It would not be an exaggeration to exile the three clans. To kill him alone is considered an extrajudicial mercy by Your Majesty."

The queen nodded tremblingly.

The emperor sneered and asked, "Queen, what is your relationship with Doctor Lin?"

"Your Majesty, I'm not familiar with him. We're just acquaintances." The queen quickly denied.

"But some people say that your mother's brother once met Imperial Physician Lin in a teahouse, and you even sent a palace maid to give him something."

Hearing the emperor's words, the queen felt like she was struck by thunder, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

The queen asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, this is completely nonsense. Who is slandering my concubine?"

"They are my secret guards who have been protecting me for ten years. How could they lie to me?"

The emperor's voice was very cold, and his gaze shot through the queen's heart like a sharp arrow. She felt that all her thoughts could not be hidden from the emperor.

"Your Majesty makes atonement. My brother didn't do it on purpose. It was just that my sister-in-law had a serious illness that day and happened to meet Dr. Lin. I asked him to have a meal with him. Later, my sister-in-law's illness was cured, and I sent a maid to visit Lin. The imperial doctor expresses his gratitude."

The queen spoke the words she had made up a long time ago, and at the end of the sentence she knelt down on the ground, and large drops of sweat fell from her forehead. The emperor was very calm. He did not question the queen's statement, nor did he believe it. Instead, he suddenly asked, "Princess Ning said that there is someone else behind Imperial Physician Lin who is instigating. Who do you think this person is?"

"Your Majesty...this...concubine doesn't know either." The queen denied.

Afterwards, seeing that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, the queen asked again, "Your Majesty...does there really be such a person? Didn't Mrs. Lin say before she died that she had a grudge against Princess Ning, hated Princess Ning, and also treated the princess too?" I did these things out of resentment.”

"Just listen to such rhetoric. Is there anyone who really believes it?" The emperor sat on a dragon-carved sandalwood chair and sneered, "Moreover, a large amount of gold was found from the room of Imperial Physician Lin. Who gave these things to Dr. Lin?"

"None of this gold is new, some are new and some are old, and the source cannot be traced at all. Is it possible that Dr. Lin has received rewards from various empresses in the palace with his profound medical skills over the years, and then failed to take them out in time? .”

The queen was already sweating like rain.

"He is a little imperial doctor, no matter how many rewards he receives, he cannot have so much gold." The emperor said sternly, "But I don't intend to continue investigating this matter, so I will stop here."

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the emperor said very sternly again, "But Queen, I tell you, although Mrs. Su is not my biological mother, she single-handedly raised me. She and I have a mother-child relationship that grew up in the wind and rain. She is the one I love most." Dear mother, if anyone dares to have thoughts about my mother and concubine in the future, no matter who this person is, I will implicate the nine tribes and let them die without a burial place."

"Your Majesty, you are right." The queen trembled with fear and said, "If anyone dares to murder the dowager, he should be severely punished."

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. No matter who wants to murder the king's mother and concubine, it is equivalent to treason. If I catch him, his family will be confiscated and his family will be destroyed. I will make this person pay ten times and a hundred times the price."

The emperor snapped.

It can be said that the emperor was extremely disappointed with this young wife.

She even dared to murder Mrs. Su, and there was nothing else she didn't dare to do. Sooner or later, she, the emperor, would be killed by her.

Sometimes the emperor would be very suspicious as to why he still couldn't take action to depose the queen.

He is a man who values ​​love and justice. Over the years, he has never forgotten the affection of the queen who resolutely married him when he was just a prince.

But this affection is coming to an end soon.

The emperor only planned to remind the queen one last time that if she still refused to change despite repeated admonitions, the plan to abolish her would have to be advanced.

The queen was so frightened that her lips quarreled, "Go back to your majesty, I know this. I will definitely remember your majesty's teachings tonight."

Although she didn't say it clearly, the queen already understood this matter in her heart. The emperor actually knew it, but he was beating and warning her now.

"It just so happens that you also have a severe headache. You don't have to go out of the palace these days. My mother's illness has not been cured. If you have time, you can hand-write filial piety sutras in the palace to pray for your mother and concubine. When will you finish copying it ten times? , when will you come out again?"

After the emperor finished speaking, he walked away.

After the emperor left, the queen fell to the ground without any strength, her whole body was limp and unable to move.

In the end, the queen was helped back to the palace by the palace servants.

The emperor was warning her that if a person was unfilial and dishonest, if she tried to murder Princess Su again, she would definitely die without a burial place.

The queen did not dare to waste time. After regaining her strength, she quickly picked up the brush and started copying on the rice paper.

……

After Xiangxiang was arrested by Chu Lixuan's people, Ning Muqing didn't sleep well for the first time.

If you feel uneasy, you will naturally not be able to concentrate while sleeping.

The next morning, Ning Muqing got up early. The servants and guards of the palace had gathered outside the bamboo forest courtyard and stood together.

Ning Muqing said to them, "Yesterday the prince gave me the seal that symbolizes the mistress of the palace. Now I am the real mistress of the palace. It is my intention to have you gather here today."

"Yes, Princess, I am a servant (subordinate) but I will follow the Princess' orders."

The maids and guards answered in unison.

Seeing a large group of people standing in front of her, Ning Muqing felt as if she had returned to her previous life and was in charge of a large medical team.
