Chapter 49
"The Empress is as kind as a mountain to me. On weekdays, she takes good care of me. I can't bear to look at the Empress sadly!" Chunlan was clearly lying. The Empress has been spoiled since she was a child, arrogant and domineering. She beat and scolded the servants around her. When she was in a bad mood, she would vent her anger on the people around her. Chunlan was no exception.
"You are a vicious slave!" The Empress Dowager pointed at Chunlan and said, "Come on, drag this slave out and kill him!"
"Yes!" The guard dragged Chunlan out
"Okay, the emperor, the matter is clear. Chunlan has done these things!" The Empress Dowager only hopes that the Emperor will leave Fengyi Palace quickly and stop quarrel with the Queen anymore
"Your Majesty, you wrongly accuse Jing'er. Jing'er wants the emperor to give me an explanation!" The queen has now cleared her suspicion and has actually started to act arrogantly
"Empress!" The Empress Dowager was about to be angry with Empress Qi. "The emperor just apologized for Mrs. Shiyun and Ai'er, and he was always sad. If you don't understand him well, you will still cause trouble for him here. Think about it carefully!" The Empress Dowager shouted to Empress Qi angrily.
"But..." The queen wanted to continue talking
"Queen, don't be merciless. If you hadn't disciplined, your slave would have such a ruthless thing, as the queen, you have the responsibility!" The Empress Dowager said coldly. If you don't want to be punished, just reflect on Fengyi Palace.
The next day, the emperor did not come to pay his respects. That night, he stayed in Mrs. Yun's palace for the whole night. Looking at Mrs. Yun's pale but even more leisurely face, the emperor felt sad.
"Yun'er, you must be blaming me!" The emperor's haggard appearance lost his former charm. "Yun'er, I am so incompetent. I can't protect you, Yun'er, and I can't protect our children. I'm sorry!"
In the early morning, the Empress Cining Palace greeted her. At this time, Qi Qingyu had just brought a bowl of white fungus bird's nest porridge to the Empress Dowager's Hall. When she walked outside the hall, she heard the queen's voice and was about to think that she would wait for the queen to come and go in, because she didn't want to see her so-called aunt.
"Mother, fortunately, you asked Chunlan to take the blame, otherwise, the emperor would really be able to kill me!" The queen said unscrupulously as she saw that there was no outsider.
"What? It turns out that Chunlan is punishing the queen?" Qi Qingyun whispered to herself outside.
"Queen, how could a fool like you have a family of Qi?" The Empress Dowager said such unqualified words for the first time.
"Mother..." Empress Qi was still stomping her feet and acting coquettishly, "Why do you say that Jing'er!"
"This matter has ended here, don't mention it again!" The Empress Dowager warned Empress Qi.
"Yes!" Queen Qi agreed respectfully, but her next sentence, "That Leng Ziyun deserves to die. She is actually pregnant with the emperor's child!"
"Shut up!" The Empress Dowager threw the cup on the ground in anger.
"Mother!" The queen finally remembered and was scared, "I just..."
"With Ai's family, your status will not be shaken, and Ze'er will be the only candidate for the crown prince. Don't be smart in the future!" The Empress Dowager gave Empress Qi a guarantee, and also to reassure Empress Qi and not to cause trouble for her again.
"The emperor loves Mrs. Yun so much now. If her child is born, the emperor will definitely make her the crown prince. Then, it will be too late!" Empress Qi didn't feel that she had done something wrong.
"You still said!" The Empress Dowager angrily shouted
"My mother!" Empress Qi stood up timidly and looked at the Empress Dowager.
"You go down!" The Empress Dowager reached out and pressed her forehead and said something to Queen Qi. She could be so angry that she could live less for several days.
"Yes!" Empress Qi was also willing to leave quickly, otherwise the Empress Dowager would always scold her, how could she bear such a person's personality?
"I'm asking for my leave!" After Empress Qi bowed and left the main door, Qi Qingyu came in from the side door as if nothing had happened.
"Auntie, this is the Tremella Lotus Seed Porridge that Qingyu specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare for you!" Qi Qingyu held the Tremella Lotus Seed Porridge in front of the Empress Dowager and said in front of the Empress Dowager with the Tremella Lotus Seed Porridge
"It's still Qingyun who is smart and caring!" Empress Dowager Qi would unconsciously compare Qi Qingyun with Queen Qi. No matter how much she compares, she thinks that her Qingyun is the best.
Qi Qingyu took advantage of the time when Empress Dowager Qi was taking a nap, and she found out that the emperor was in Mrs. Yun's palace and ran there to find someone.
Looking at the emperor's haggard and sad appearance, Qi Qingyun gently approached him, "Emperor!"
The emperor still stared at Mrs. Yun lying among the chrysanthemums in a daze, ignoring Qi Qingyun
"Your Majesty, you should investigate this matter thoroughly. Chunlan poisons it, and there must be someone instructing you behind it!" Qi Qingyu felt that the queen was a bad person. If she killed someone, she should be punished.
"I know!" The emperor still stared at Mrs. Yun's body
"You know, then why don't you find out the evidence of the queen's crime of harming others?" Qi Qingyu didn't understand. Why did the emperor, who has always been clear about right and wrong, tolerate and support the traitor?
"Can I find evidence if the Empress Dowager escapes from the Queen's crime?" The Emperor knew very well that he was not the Empress Dowager's opponent.
"Yes!" Qi Qingyun also knew the Empress Dowager's ability. No one could refute what she said.
"But why did Chunlan bear all the responsibility for the queen?" Qi Qingyun felt that Chunlan was also a person who was greedy for life and feared death when she saw the wind. Why did she risk her life to take the blame for the queen?
"Because my mother threatened her with her family's life!" The emperor said calmly.
"What?" Qi Qingyun didn't want to believe that the Empress Dowager who always loved her was that kind of person, "It's aunt..."
"The Hedinghong was found by Chunlan. Even if the queen was punished, Chunlan could not escape death. However, if she died for the queen, then her family could be properly settled. It was also death. Which one would she choose under the two powers?" The emperor analyzed to Qi Qingyu.
"Then you should find evidence, punish the guilty, and let those who die in vain rest!" Qi Qingyun said. In her concept, it was either black or white, and there was never a gray area.
"If I investigate thoroughly at this time, my mother will definitely obstruct it!" The emperor looked at Mrs. Yun helplessly, "At that time, there will definitely be a bloody storm. I am no match for my mother!" The emperor knew his mother. He had seen how cruel his mother was. If it harmed her interests, I am afraid that she would even sacrifice her biological son.
"Yun'er, I'm sorry for you!" The emperor knelt on the ground, "First it was Ze'er's biological mother, now it was Yun'er, you and our children. You are here in vain, but I can't help you get so wronged. I'm incompetent..." The emperor clenched his fists and beat the ground hard.
"Your Majesty, don't do this!" Qi Qingyu stepped forward to stop her from grabbing the emperor's wrist with both hands, "Your Majesty, your hand is injured!"
"Hmph!" The emperor snorted helplessly and coldly.
"Your hand is bleeding!" Qi Qingyun took out his silk hand to wipe the blood, "Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look!" Qi Qingyun asked while wiping the blood for the emperor.
"No need!" said the emperor
"Don't it hurt?" Qi Qingyun felt distressed when she looked at it. She could imagine how painful the emperor's heart was.
"Qingyu can think of how painful the emperor is, but don't hurt yourself!" Qi Qingyu said while wrapping the silk scutellar to the emperor.
"You don't understand at all!" The emperor still doesn't believe in Qi Qingyu very much, because she is also a member of Qi's family. The members of Qi's family are either very cunning or ruthless, and have both. He really dares not trust Qi's family easily.
"Yes, I don't know anything!" Qi Qingyu admitted that she didn't know anything. All this was something she couldn't imagine, and even more so it was something she couldn't understand.
"I never dreamed of being a devil!" Qi Qingyun also looked at the cold Mrs. Yun who was lying among the flowers, saying, "I don't have much interaction with Mrs. Yun, and I have only met several times. However, she wiped her tears for me that day, and I could feel her concern. However, in just a few days, she lay coldly here. There was a child in her belly who had never seen this world before. I also felt sad and felt miserable!" Qi Qingyun turned around and looked at the emperor, "Master, you are her husband and the father of that child. Their death will not only make you sad, but also make you feel that you have not protected them, but what makes you even more sad is that your biological mother also plays a role that makes you sad!" Qi Qingyun guessed that she had this kind of personality, saying whatever she thought, regardless of right or wrong.
"That's also her grandson!" What the emperor saddest was his mother's coldness and ruthlessness since he was a child, she was used as a bargaining chip for fighting. Now she has won, but she still wants to use him and has never really cared about him.
"I really hope to be born in an ordinary family and enjoy family happiness together!" That was the life he yearned for the most, "I really want to leave this cold cage!" This gorgeous palace is his cold cage. He has no freedom and cannot feel the warmth.
"I hope you are not the emperor!" Qi Qingyu said forever. If he was not the emperor, he would not have to marry Qi Jing'er, and there would be countless beauties in the harem.
"Qingyun..." The emperor looked at Qi Qingyun in confusion because of Qi Qingyun's words.
"Why were you the emperor? Why were you my cousin? Why did I meet you?" Qi Qingyu asked by holding the emperor's clothes.
"Let's go, let's leave this unhuman cage together, and go find a free place without trouble!" Qi Qingyu could feel the emperor's pain in his heart. She knew that the emperor wanted to leave here, and she also wanted to forget everything, and just escape from here with him and escape from worries.
"Qi Qingyun, do you know what you are talking about?" The emperor looked at Qi Qingyun and asked.
"I know!" Qi Qingyun said hurriedly, "I don't want you to be the emperor, I don't want you to be my cousin!" Qi Qingyun said willfully, "I want you, I want you!" This sentence seemed to have been buried for a long time, as if it had been longer than knowing him. This sentence that has been accumulated for many years was finally said, but she did not regret it.
