There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 130 How can the time be quiet

I don't know if the emperor is crazy or not.

Nanny Qi, who was kneeling outside, was going crazy with fright. Who could tell her what the emperor and the empress were talking about?
What is not dead, this kind of taboo may offend Tian Yan.

Surprisingly, the emperor didn't seem to be angry, and Nanny Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

Before she could relax for a moment, she saw the emperor came out of the room with a hula, and left without looking back.

Nanny Qi hurriedly rushed into the room, only to see the Queen sitting on the ground slumped as if she had lost her soul, her face was pale and her eyes were empty.

"Miss!"

"It's cold on the ground, get up quickly!"

The queen supported Nanny Qi's hand to stand up, collapsed and couldn't speak, only tears streaming down line by line.

"Your Majesty, please bear with me, this servant is going to invite the imperial physician!"

Nanny Qi was about to turn around when the queen suddenly stopped her.

"My grandson must not die in vain, let those two imperial physicians remind me that they owe my life!" The queen gritted her teeth, her eyes were fierce.

"Yes! Empress, don't worry, this servant knows what to do!"

Nanny Qi stepped back, with a sneer on the corner of her lips: These two imperial physicians deserved to die, and the empress is relieved to spare their lives.

If they are sensible, it is also a harvest to use it for their own use.If they don't know what to do, they can't live with a charge of adverse care.

All in all, this round cannot be lost in vain.

The queen was lying on the bed, looking out of the window at night with dark clouds, not even a bright moon and stars, her heart was so heavy and oppressed that she could hardly breathe.

In this round, the queen suffered a crushing defeat, but Yuqing Palace happened to be watching a play.

In Chaoluan Hall.

Tang Wanning was fiddling with a few newly acquired puzzle boxes under the candle, while Xia Houjue sat cheekily across from her, reading a book.

Pretend to read books, but actually read people.

"How? Is Gu right?"

"That's right, it's just the Queen's answer!" Tang Wanning muttered to herself without raising her head.

"Chen Wang actually retreated completely, after all, it's better to have a mother's child!"

Xia Houjue's face darkened, his smile remained unchanged, but a bitterness welled up in his heart.

Tang Wanning said again: "But you don't have to worry, I'm here!"

"The two of us are grasshoppers on the same rope now, don't worry, I will stand by your side."

Hearing this, the bitterness in Xia Houjue's heart was suppressed again.

Why does this woman sound so awkward when she speaks, but when you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.

Anyway, it's better not to think about it.

……

In the harem, the empress grounded her feet, and Concubine Chen was in charge of official duties. There was unrest in the calm.

In the court hall outside the palace, the emperor took drastic measures and dealt with several important court officials in succession, and the Queen's party was greatly frustrated.

Prince Chen was attacked from both inside and outside, and under multiple blows, he said he was ill and refused to go to court.

For a while, the court was in turmoil, and the ministers were terrified, discussing in private.

"You said, does the emperor want to abolish the empress? Otherwise, how could he have dealt with such a heavy hand, and the entire Qin family was demoted and dismissed, tsk tsk tsk! This thunderous method is really unpredictable."

In a certain teahouse in the capital, a few old ministers dressed in plain clothes as ordinary civilians were whispering in a corner of the teahouse.

"If you want me to say that the Queen's line really should be pruned, otherwise the whole court will soon be named Qin." Another person answered.

"Isn't it? From the cabinet, to the six ministries, to the various provincial fortresses, where is there no one from the Qin family, the emperor has tolerated it for so many years, it is a special kindness!" The third person talked eloquently.

"That's right, to put it bluntly, if His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't been so steady, sophisticated and low-key, I'm afraid...not to mention the location of the East Palace, it would be hard to say whether his life would be safe or not."

"Hey! His Royal Highness is suffering!"

The queen is dignified, virtuous and famous, but she has her own son. Anyone who believes that the queen will treat the prince sincerely is a fool.

The ministers are all as good as each other, who would be stupid?
It doesn't matter if you are usually bragging and flattering, but when it comes to making trouble, people are not ambiguous at all.

"Let's take another look. I think His Highness the Crown Prince certainly has means, but after all, the Emperor also thinks about the Empress, otherwise it will be difficult!"

"Oh, it's not, but who the emperor is thinking about, it's none of our business!"

"Come, come, drink tea, drink tea!"

"Yes, let's drink tea!"

……

October passed by in a hurry, and a turmoil gradually subsided.

In this turmoil, the queen was grounded, the palace of Prince Chen was severely damaged, and the queen's party was severely hit.

Concubine Chen Guiping, Queen Mother and son seem to be benefiting, but in fact they are pushed to the top of the storm.

The prince got the due credit and watched a good show by the way.

Only the emperor, he not only balanced the court and shattered the ambitions of the Qin family, but also gained the reputation of being affectionate along the way.

"The emperor is affectionate and righteous. He always remembers the former queen, and he values ​​the prince even more."

"The emperor understands righteousness and respects the rules of the ancestors. The prince is a descendant of his original spouse, so he should inherit the great rule as a matter of course!" '

"The emperor cherished the people and punished all the corrupt officials..."

Such a good name had spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital before the end of the month.

Tang Wanning didn't know the process, but the result left her dumbfounded.

"Tsk tsk tsk! You are really right, I should have believed you a long time ago!"

In front of the heated kang window, two people were playing chess leisurely. The corners of Xia Houjue's lips curled slightly, and he made a move.

"When you first entered the deep palace, you naturally don't understand some things. It's so strange to understand these things because you were born alone and grew up here!"

If possible, he would rather not understand these truths for the rest of his life.

"Now I finally know why you are so difficult!" Tang Wanning pinched the chess piece and frowned.

At the beginning, she was still whispering in her heart, why didn't Xia Houjue quickly take a knife and kill his mother to find out the truth and avenge his mother.

Thinking about it now, the idea at the time was really naive.

The royal family has little love, and if you make a wrong step, you may be lost forever.

"It's not difficult! It's just that I'm very tired!" Xia Houjue said calmly, "The world only values ​​money and power. If you have enough of these, what's so difficult about buying people's hearts?"

Tang Wanning didn't know what to say, so she fell silent for a while and didn't speak again.

Xia Houjue didn't say any more, and the two played chess quietly.

The winter sun shines on the mahogany watch table through the glass of the red window, and the crystal clear black and white jade chess pieces exude a crystal clear light.

There is a small copper stove for making tea at hand, which is gurgling and steaming, and the tea that is brewed is this year's new tribute.

On the other side of the kang table, there are dim sum newly made in the small kitchen of Yuqing Palace, walnut minced milk cake, red bean and white jade, almond cake, chicken oil roll.

New tea snacks, exquisite copper stove, everything seems to be quiet and good.

But Tang Wanning knew it in her heart.

Where is the time that is quiet and good, but it has escaped the open and dark arrows, and it must be suffering.

She wanted to ask, 'Have you ever been like this before? '

But he felt that this was nonsense, how could he live otherwise?
