Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 173
As a result, one day I suddenly discovered that all of this was a fake, a conspiracy, and I had done nothing before.

Not to mention the lofty empress, even ordinary people are expected to collapse directly.

So during this period of time, not only the ministers above the court were very honest, but Chen Yi was also very honest. He didn't go anywhere except the Ministry of Industry and his Earl's Mansion, and obediently completed his production tasks.

Later, the empress was still looked down upon by Eunuch Li, and she took a rest just to eat.

For Empress Daji, this matter was not a big deal at 01:30. It lasted for five days without going to the morning court.

You must know that this incident has never happened before, even if the national commemoration of the late emperor passed away, not only lasted for two days, but a few days ago, the ministers were still able to sit still.

But as time went by, the empress didn't want to return to the way she was in the early dynasty.

This aroused everyone's panic and astonishment. Several ministers had already entered the palace to seek an audience, but unfortunately the empress locked herself in the room when no one was seen.

Fortunately, there is still a father-in-law Li who is taking care of him.

These ministers didn't break in directly, but even so, everyone knew that this matter should be resolved as soon as possible, and if it continued to drag on, there would be endless troubles.

Chen Yi was also in the ranks of static pressure, and Chen Yi never expected that this incident would deal such a big blow to the Empress.

Chen Yi felt that he didn't quite understand it. The Immortality Pill itself was ethereal, and being able to believe in its existence was considered a skill. But shouldn't it be normal to think that such a thing didn't exist?

So from the very beginning, Chen Yi didn't think there was anything unacceptable about this matter.

It is precisely because Chen Yi thinks this way that he guides the empress to follow his own tricks little by little, without thinking about how the empress will react at all.

Things have reached the current level, Chen Yi has a trace of regret in his heart, he feels that he can do it, it is too straightforward, and if possible in the future, he needs to be a little detoured.

After Chen Yi reflected, he returned to the production of the Ministry of Industry.

But everyone didn't think that this matter would hit the empress so hard. The empress hadn't attended the morning court for eight consecutive days, although there were no serious matters that needed to be resolved within the court of the Great Wu Kingdom.

But it doesn't make sense if you don't have morning exercises and don't show up. At least the common people have got the news.

The hearts of the people in the imperial capital are already very turbulent.

There was still one thing Chen Yi didn't understand. Later, when he thought about it, the empress knew that Master Chen had a double heart, it should have been a long time ago, at least it shouldn't have been in the past few days.

Because a long time ago, the empress had been uneasy when she went to the morning court.

Now that Immortal Chen has returned, he has just confirmed his immortality, but his non-existence is just a pretense. How could the Empress be so serious?

Chen Yi couldn't figure it out, obviously he should be mentally prepared, but why the empress was so restless when things were about to happen.

Chen Yi can only be said to have wronged the empress.

The empress did know about Chen Xianshi's betrayal of herself.

But at that time, in order to escape, the Empress thought in her heart that Immortal Chen should just be greedy for money, and wanted to take advantage of refining the elixir of immortality for herself and greedy for more money. Such things are very common in the palace.

Especially for those officials who just bought it, there is a lot of oil and water in it, and the Empress naturally knows it.

Only the empress did not give up hope and felt that the elixir of immortality still existed.

It was precisely because the Empress thought so that she was in a bad mood those few days.

No one would be in a good mood to be taken advantage of by others. The empress was also angry with herself in the past few days, and she felt that she had a certain responsibility for leaving the treasury so empty.

So I think it must be strictly reviewed in the future.

But after Chen Xianshi came back, the empress handed over the information to investigate Chen Xianshi's movements.

Chen Xianshi actually acquiesced and did not intercede for himself at all, and even after he was released from prison, he kept silent.

The Empress waited all night, and the next day, her subordinates came and reported that Master Chen had confessed to all the crimes, even the Taoist boy in the Alchemy Pavilion.

This is what the empress can't bear the most, because the empress thinks that Master Chen Xianshi always has something to do in private, and this matter is very serious.

Anyway, the Empress wanted to use Chen Xianshi to refine the elixir by herself, and felt a little unhappy, but she could turn a blind eye.

As a result, Chen Xianshi completely accepted this, and did not make any act of pleading for himself.

What does this attitude and this behavior indicate?
Naturally, it goes without saying that it means that Chen Xianshi knew that he had no hope of living, so he simply didn't plead for mercy. Chen Xianshi could really refine the elixir of immortality.

For this reason, he will definitely use it as a bargaining chip to ask the empress to spare his life.

But Chen Xianshi didn't, and it was because of this that the empress was really sure that, as Chen Yi said before, there is really no elixir of immortality in this world.

Chen Xianshi is completely deceiving himself fundamentally.

How could the empress not despair?If there is no elixir of immortality, how can the Empress preserve the Great Wu Kingdom?
How to lead Dawu Kingdom to prosperity?
Everything that the Empress imagined before had no chance of being realized. The Empress always thought that she could live forever and accompany the Dawu Kingdom forever, but now all the evidence is in front of her eyes.

The empress had to believe that what she wanted could not be realized.

This situation is no less than breaking up and reorganizing the Three Views of the Empress, the impact of which can be imagined.

Everyone in Chen Yi did not expect that the Empress would be so firm in her belief that there really was a pill of immortality.

So they didn't understand that the empress did not go to the morning court for eight consecutive days, and there was no immortality, but the empress is still very young now, so it can be said that she has just started.

From now on, it's never too late to be an emperor.

The ministers don't know what the empress is breaking down, what is she afraid of?
Haven't you ever had it before?Didn't everyone come here like this, and I didn't see that the empress was so fragile.

Now the ministers are very anxious, very worried that the news will leak out, and then other border countries are ready to take the opportunity to attack Dawu.

Although the strength of the Great Wu Kingdom is not bad, it cannot withstand a few wars.

The ministers should not only worry about the empress' physical condition and her mood, but also worry about the spies from the surrounding countries.

And more importantly, I am worried about the people. After all, the droughts and floods happened frequently before, which has made the people's life very difficult. If the empress continues to be like this, she will continue to be decadent.

The consequences are unimaginable.
