Chapter 229 Enthroned
No one would have thought that Empress Hu would come here on her own initiative.

After all, since what happened that year, she has been reluctant to see Emperor Ruikang, even if Emperor Ruikang was so angry that he vomited blood at the New Year's Eve banquet, she still did not want to see him.

But now, she actually came?
Ye Jingxing took a look at Empress Hu, saw that she was dressed in plain clothes, and was about to get up to salute her, but Empress Hu waved her hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite."

After saying this to Ye Jingxing, Empress Hu looked directly at Wang Duan and said, "This matter was written by Mrs. Liu."

As soon as Queen Hu's words came out, Duan Wang and Ye Jingxing understood.

It's just that the two of them will be a little confused, and don't understand why Queen Hu would take the initiative to investigate this matter.

Empress Hu didn't care about the faces of the two of them, she directly stated the evidence she had found. After she finished speaking, she looked at King Duan and said, "Renben Palace has been guarded. What is going on? Don't worry, you can check again." After saying this, Empress Hu paused before continuing: "But no matter what, we must ensure that the fifth child can successfully ascend the throne."

After leaving these words, Empress Hu turned around and left without even looking at Rui Kangdi who had died.

It wasn't until Empress Hu's figure disappeared that Ye Jingxing looked at King Duan and said, "Uncle Wang, what the Empress Mother said just now..."

"I'll investigate it myself." Prince Duan was naturally worried about leaving this matter to others, and now it was his own brother who had been protecting him for many years.

It's fine if he didn't have a clue before, but now that he has clues, he will definitely investigate carefully.

Even if this clue is given by someone else, he will search carefully to distinguish the true from the false.

Hearing the meaning of Duan Wang's words, Ye Jingxing remained silent and did not speak again.

What he was thinking about now was the last words Queen Hu said before she left, and he understood that she really wanted him to be enthroned.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingxing sighed, and suddenly felt that his original decision was really too correct.

When the emperor passed away, the funeral was naturally not a simple one.

Although Emperor Ruikang was killed by someone, the news did not spread. After all, Emperor Ruikang was in poor health before. Now he went suddenly. If they came forward, they did not dare to raise doubts.

After all, Emperor Ruikang had chosen his heir before his death, and now that the state-owned heir, they just had to wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

The originally set day for the Zen position was early February. Although Emperor Ruikang passed away directly, the enthronement of the new emperor is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

It was supposed to be a happy event, but because Emperor Ruikang passed away suddenly, the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor did not seem to have so much joy.

But Ye Jingxing, who had already put on the dragon robe and ascended the throne as the emperor, was very irritable.

His irritability was not because of too many political affairs. During this time, even if something really happened, as long as it was not too urgent, the courtiers would suppress it and not report it. It was because they were worried that the new emperor was in a bad mood.

So Ye Jingxing's bad mood has nothing to do with political matters at all.

"Uncle Wang, don't ask me any more about this matter."

The new emperor Ye Jingxing was still very respectful to Duan Wang, but he did not expect that Uncle Wang would suddenly know about Yan Ye in the past two days.

Seeing Ye Jingxing's expression, Duan Wang knew that what he said in the letter he received was true.

Ye Jingxun's eldest son is really still alive.

Duan Wang really wanted to ask Ye Jingxing what was going on with this matter, did he forget how good the prince Ye Jingxun was to him back then.

Since he clearly knew that his brother's son was still alive, why didn't he tell, why did he hide it from his brother?
His brother obviously asked him about this before, but was he playing stupid at that time?
Duan Wang really wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask.

He didn't even know how he made it to the palace after receiving this letter today.

Because he understands that although the nephew in front of him is a junior, he is also the new emperor.

Relying on his status as Uncle Wang, he can talk to him once or twice in a persuasive manner, but what about after that?
Once the emperor and the courtiers, even if he is the king of Duan, he has to think about the children and grandchildren of his family.

The former sage was his elder brother, and the two were related by blood, and after two or three generations, his descendants and elder brother's lineage would be just ordinary clan brothers.

Ye Jingxing could actually tell that King Duan wanted to speak, but it was really difficult for him to say anything about this matter.

Just as the awkward atmosphere between Ye Jingxing and Duan Wang continued to spread, there was a sudden announcement from outside the door.

"My lord, the empress dowager is here."

Nowadays, the one who can be called the empress dowager in the palace is the former biological mother of Empress Hu and Ye Jingxing, and the former concubine De.

It's just that the former Concubine De, now the Holy Mother Empress Dowager hardly ever goes out, not only respecting the mother Empress Dowager everywhere, but also telling his son not to visit her often.

Although the Empress Dowager Mother was cautious, for fear of offending the Empress Dowager Mother, the former Empress Hu, and now the Empress Dowager Hu, didn't seem to care about her at all.

Now that Mrs. Hu came here, Ye Jingxing and Duan Wang immediately put away the expressions on their faces. One of them had a guilty conscience, and the other was worried that his sister-in-law would see something. After all, it was her own grandson who had the news. .

Unexpectedly, after Empress Dowager Hu came in, she glanced at Ye Jingxing, and then looked at Wang Duan and said, "The news about Yan'er was not allowed by the Holy Majesty."

"what?"

Almost at the moment when Queen Mother Hu's voice fell, King Duan exclaimed.

Empress Dowager Hu was not at all shocked by King Duan's reaction, she looked at King Duan, nodded slightly, and then continued: "I have known that Yan'er is still alive, but I and Yan I don’t want him to be involved in royal affairs anymore.” After saying this, Empress Dowager Hu paused before continuing: “I only have such a grandson now, so I don’t want him to be involved again. It is dangerous, so I told the Holy Majesty not to say anything about it."

King Duan didn't expect that the sister-in-law of this matter not only knew about it long ago, but also prevented her nephew from telling the elder brother about it.

Thinking of the contents of the letter, King Duan thought for a while, looked at Empress Dowager Hu and said, "So the matter between Brother Yan and that girl from the Xu family is true?"

Neither Ye Jingxing nor Empress Dowager Hu thought that King Duan would still know about this matter, but it was also because King Duan said it that they both thought of someone at the same time.

Ye Jingxing and Queen Mother Hu quickly looked at each other, and they both understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes.

But neither of them mentioned this matter at this moment, only Empress Dowager Hu looked at Duan Wang and said, "I only hope that Yan'er can become a rich man safely in the future."

After saying this to King Duan, Empress Dowager Hu looked at Ye Jingxing again and said, "I am here today, apart from talking about Yan'er, there is one more thing I want to talk to the Holy Majesty."

"What orders does the queen mother have?"

Ye Jingxing's attitude towards Empress Dowager Hu was extremely respectful, after all, he could not have successfully ascended to this position without her help.

Empress Dowager Hu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Ye Jingxing's attitude towards her. After hearing what he said, she nodded slightly and said, "I want to go to Linggu Temple to fast for three years."

As soon as Queen Mother Hu said this, Ye Jingxing thought of what Xu Shiqiu had said to him behind his back.

'The empress intends to leave the palace after going to the Holy House, and she will probably find an excuse to stay outside for a few years, as if she wants to see her great-grandson and grandson-in-law. '

But he knew before that, as long as the Empress Dowager Hu didn't mention it for a day, he wouldn't mention it, but he didn't expect that he would at least wait for his father to be buried before the Empress Dowager Hu would speak. Who would have thought that she would speak now up.

King Duan didn't know what Queen Mother Hu was going to do, and when he heard that she was going to fast for three years at Linggu Temple, he wanted to ask.

But when he looked up, he found something wrong with Ye Jingxing's expression.

Thinking of this, Duan Wang, who suddenly had some doubts, hurriedly looked at Empress Dowager Hu and said, "Sister-in-law, you..."

Seeing King Duan's inquiry, Empress Dowager Hu didn't want to hide her dislike for Emperor Ruikang at all, and said directly: "Since Lao Wu has ascended the throne, I also want to live the life I want in peace."

Empress Dowager Hu did not intend to hide her thoughts, she is the biggest in the whole palace now, and both the new emperor and his mother respect her.

It can be said that she is living more recklessly in the palace now than when Emperor Ruikang was there.

But so what?
There is no grandson, no grandson-in-law, and no great-grandson who is about to be born!

Empress Dowager Hu is very reckless now, she doesn't care about Duan Wang and Ye Jingxing's reaction after hearing what she said, she just left a message that she will leave in the future, and then turned around and left here.

Seeing Empress Dowager Hu leaving just like that, King Duan thought for a long time before looking at Ye Jingxing and asking, "Does your mother, Empress Dowager, want to leave the capital?"

Ye Jingxing had to admire his Uncle Wang for being able to guess the reason.

It's just that he can't go into details about this matter, and it's hard to say that my nephew, your grandnephew, made my wife's eldest niece pregnant before she divorced.

Now your sister-in-law, my aunt is in such a hurry to leave the palace because she actually wants to guard the birth of her great-grandson.

Ye Jingxing couldn't say this.

However, he thought about it, and finally looked at King Duan and said seriously: "My queen treats my father... You understand this, Uncle Wang. Now that my father is no longer here, and my mother wants to go to relax, I can't say anything .”

What Ye Jingxing said, even King Duan couldn't say anything more.

After all, what happened back then was indeed his brother's wrongdoing. Now that his brother is gone, she must be unhappy to force his sister-in-law to stay in the palace.

What's more, there is an elder grandson outside who is unwilling to continue to mix with the royal family. If it were him, he would not want to stay in the palace either.

Because the news that Empress Dowager Hu is going to leave the palace is really hard to say, Ye Jingxing was a little embarrassed looking at King Duan, so he could only ask, "Can Uncle Wang tell my nephew, how did you know this news?"

Upon hearing Ye Jingxing's words, King Duan immediately came back to his senses, looked at him and said, "Do you think there's something wrong with this?"

Just as Wang Duan finished speaking, before Ye Jingxing could speak, Xu Shiqiu hurried in.

Seeing Xu Shiqiu approaching in such a hurry, Ye Jingxing and Duan Wang immediately sensed something was wrong, and without asking, Xu Shiqiu said directly, "Ye Jingde is gone."
